I found myself perched high in a tree, my eyes red and wet from crying. I don't know why, but their words really hurt me. Dei had been like a father and when he said something about me I just couldn't help but feel as though I wasn't wanted in the group.
Then I heard footsteps and I looked down to see the Silver Haired boy. He looked up at me, "Kaori…"
"Shut up, Hidan," I growled slightly at him and saw him still smile at me and I sighed, "Talk."
"Pushy, Bitch, aren't you?" Hidan laughed slightly but I held a straight face and he sighed, "Ok. We are sorry. Just... having you around has changed a lot of things for us. Having a little kid a..."
"I'm not a little kid, Hidan," I screamed at him and he watched me.
"You are. You are only 6. That's still little for someone in a group of Missing-Nin. S-class Criminals," Hidan explained and I sighed. I had forgotten I was only 6. Strange thing to think wasn't it. Oh no. I didn't remember I was 6 years old.
"So... you came to tell me more about how useless I am?" I asked with a serious tone as I waited for him to so something.
"No, Kao. I came to tell you that we are sorry. I know. I'd be the last to come to anyone with the word sorry but I am," he said softly, looking up at me with his light pinkie eyes and I sighed.
"I just feel so useless. I'm sick of feeling useless," I cried slightly and buried my head in my hands, remembering everything that had happened before I was stuck in this spot with these people.
"You're not useless, Kaori," Hidan said in a suddenly really soft voice and I looked at him, putting my head from my arms, Tears streaked my cheeks and my eyes were red. "Kao. We all love you here. You are a part of our 'Family' here."
I sniffed slightly, "H...Hidan." He lifted his hands up and I nodded and fell into his arms like a child and I cried into his shoulder as he patted my back.
"You aren't useless. You are just a kid with too much on your shoulders," Hidan said gently still holding me close.
When I had finally stopped crying Hidan carried me back to the hideout.
It was about 10am by this time and I knew that I was going to be in trouble for being out like that but when we walked in everyone stayed quiet. I saw Deidara try and say something but he just kept quiet, too scared to face up to me.
I closed my eyes and leaned into Hidan more and I heard a soft sigh from Deidara before he seemed to start to apologize, "Kao... I'm Sorry. It just came..."
"Shut up, Dei. I'm over it now," I interrupted him and Hidan put me down as I walked over to the tall male and glared up at him, "See. I'm over it."
I knew he saw the single tear run down my cheek as he wiped it away with a single finger and I swallowed hard as he smiled softly at me. Again I seem to be changing the Akatsuki. Deidara never gave a shit unless it was about his 'art' and now he gave me a soft smile that told me that he really seemed to care about not just himself but me.
As he wiped another tear away from my face I smiled back, "I'm sorry. " I was still speaking quietly but now it was even softer, so only he could hear it when I said it.
He gave me a grin and pulled me into a hug and I wiggle and whined slightly, "Let me go, Dei! Please let me go."
"I'm sorry for being nasty. But what I said was true…" He said softly and I looked up with a shocked and sad face and he laughed quiet loud, "But it's not a bad thing, Kao…"
I nodded and lowered my head and he ruffled my hair and I felt eyes on us and I turned from him and looked at Sasori, "Can we go now?"
"Go?" Sasori tilted his emotionless face at me and I sighed.
"You forgot about training, didn't you?" I gave him a glare and he smirked and nodded and I sighed, "Can we still go?" he nodded and I laughed, "YAY!" I dashed out of deidara's arms and hugged him and he growled softly but I ignored it and hugged him still.
