*Miko's POV*

"So if you used to be part of this society" Deidara asked at breakfast "Does that mean you're good in bed?"

"Yes," I answered calmly "But only some men got to have the chance in bed with a Geisha. Those men never lived to tell others of the experience. My suggestion is to stay away from these women. Don't worry though; I don't kill men in their sleep, I prefer to watch the terror in their eyes."

"Thanks for the warning," Hidan gulped.

"Pein, why are we even here?" Itachi asked.

"To get rid of Jiraiya and Kakashi," he answered.

"Makes sense, they're both perverted and a house full of Geisha would most defiantly draw them in."

"We'll let these women get rid of them and then the nine-tailed brat won't have any protection."

"While we're here, can we have some fun with these Geisha?" Deidara asked.

"You heard the Miko's warning," Pein sent him a glare "I don't want to risk any of my men while we're here."

"Miko, where is the training room?" Kakuzu asked.

"The garden," I pondered then smiled "Pretty much where ever, there is no specific area to train."

I was getting bored with the idol chit chat, so I went off to see what else was happening in the Geisha house. Maybe I could get in on the action that was happening else where.

*Itachi's POV*

I saw Miko leave and decided that now would be a good time to talk to her alone. I got up and left but when I looked out the door Miko was nowhere to be seen so I went to the garden to train. There was no point in searching just to get lost in this place.

'Why can't I get her out of my mind?' I thought while training 'These Geisha don't interest me; they don't have the same value as Miko does. She's so different, so beautiful, and so sweet. Could I be in love with Kakuzu's little sister?'

"You look tired," I turned to the voice to see a woman approach "You must have been training hard."

"Who are you?" I asked not caring what else she had to say.

"Isn't it more polite to state your own name first?" she was inches from me.

"Itachi Uchiha," I backed away but she kept moving toward me until I landed the garden bench.

"Itachi, what a dangerous name, I love it," her hand brushed my cheek "My name's Tsukiko, it's a pleasure to meet you."

She was about to kiss me when someone called my name, I pushed the girl off me to see who had rescued me. She fell to the ground, I didn't care, I was just happy to see Miko coming my way.

*Miko's POV*

I leaned up against the banister watching Itachi train. Hidden from his sight it was the perfect spot to spy.

'What is this feeling?' I thought 'Could I be in love with the dangerous but sexy Itachi Uchiha?'

All of a sudden Tsukiko walked into the garden. I watched as she backed Itachi onto the garden bench. With a glint in my eyes and a smile on my face I decided to ruin her fun.

"Itachi!" I yelled walking up to him and he pushed her off, I leaned forward to whisper in his ear "I thought you could use a rescue."

He nodded his head, kissed my cheek softly and ran off. I watched him leave as my finger tips lightly touched my cheek where he kissed me, a soft genuine smile formed on my lips.

"Black Dragon," Tsukiko sounded mad "I almost had him! Why did you stop me?"

"Two reasons," I said turning around to face her "For one he's part of the Akatsuki, they are working together with the White Lotus Society and not to be harmed. For the second reason, because the Akatsuki are no one's play toy, I will stop anyone who tries to play with their emotions. Plus their leader already told them they can't have any fun while on this business trip."

I left Tsukiko standing there furious at me as I made my way back to the guys' room. Kakuzu was counting his money, Deidara and Sasori were fighting about art, Hidan was sharpening his scythe, and Tobi was running around the room while Kisame, Zetsu and Pein were talking about something over in the corner. I walked out to the back patio and sat beside Itachi as he starred at the soft clouds floating by.

"How are you feeling?" I asked him.

"A little dizzy," he answered.

"That's just a side effect," I giggled "You'll be fine."

"Thank you," he said after a moment of silence.

"For what?" I gave him a confused look.

"For the rescue," I saw him blush lightly.

"Black Dragon!" I recognized that voice as Fuyuko's.

"What?" I asked getting up to open the door heading out to the hall.

"Do you want to play Blind Man's Catch?" Fuyuko asked holding up a bow and arrow.

"Come to the back," I sighed knowing that this was her way to 'accidently' kill me "What's the target?"

"The heart and since it was my idea, I'll start," she grinned.

We faced each other in the garden ten meters apart, the guys' stopped what they were doing to watch, a tree stood behind each of us.

*Hidan's POV*

We watched the deadly game that was being played. Miko turned her back to Fuyuko standing there calmly; Fuyuko shot an arrow at her back. When the arrow was inches away from Miko she spun around, caught the arrow and shot it right back with the bow in her hands, Fuyuko moved just in time for it to hit the tree instead of her heart.

Fuyuko pulled the arrow out and handed it to Miko, she now shot the arrow at Fuyuko's back. Fuyuko wasn't as smooth or swift as Miko, but she also caught the arrow and shot it back to Miko before it killed her. Miko leaned backwards as the arrow skimmed just above her chest and hit the tree behind her. Fuyuko ran over to the tree, pulled the arrow out and stormed out of our quarters mumbling. Miko stood there smirking and shaking her head lightly.

"What the fuck was that all about?" I asked.

"A game Fuyuko made up as an excuse to kill me," Miko explained "But she should know that I always win."

"So you won?" Kisame asked showing a toothy grin "Is there a pond nearby?"

"Yes," she answered cautiously "Just down to the left, in front of the Geisha resting room."

Kisame and I looked at each other with an evil glint in our eyes. Kisame picked Miko up, placing her on his shoulder; we left our room and found the pond. Miko was yelling all the way there, Kisame tossed her into the water; the Geishas came out and started laughing.

"Kisame! Hidan!" Miko yelled "This isn't funny!"

The sky turned black and the wind blew hard, Kakuzu came running up behind us. The Geisha ran back inside to hide but Kakuzu hugged his sister, keeping her head in his chest. The wind eventually calmed down and the sky cleared up, all we could hear was her quiet sobbing and Kakuzu trying to sooth her.
