Recap: "Why would I run away? He's not very scary to me," Clair said, her slender eyebrows coming together in confusion as she looked over her shoulder at the man in question. He's not very scary to me That one sentence made Zetsu happier than anything anyone had ever said to or about him. He turned his head away, his venus trap blocking his blushing face from view. Hidan, Kakuzu, and Zetsu are taking Clair to the Akatsuki's base. Here you find out what Clair is. Note: I don't own any of the Akatsuki, whoever created them does. I only own Clair because I made her up.

Hidan burst out laughing and Kakuzu rolled his eyes.

"Is something wrong with your brain?" Hidan asked her when he sobered up, although he was still smirking.

"Um, no, why?" Clair asked, confused.

"Fuck it, I'm not going to explain it to you," Hidan said, rolling his eyes.

"Well, might as well take the little bitch with us, Pein might have some use for her," Hidan decided, turning to his partner for confirmation. Clair simply looked back at Zetsu with a confused look on her face, obviously hoping that he'd shed a little light on the situation for her. Kakuzu grunted and Hidan seemed to take it as an agreement.

"Alright then, you're coming with us little bitch," Hidan told the tiny woman, reaching towards her like he meant to grab her arm. She flinched back, away from Hidan and into Zetsu.

"Leave her alone," He growled, pulling her behind him protectively.

"You're frightening her," The white half said in a calmer tone. Neither half of Zetsu missed the irony in that statement. Hidan didn't either. The Jashinist merely smirked and shrugged before walking away, back towards the base. Kakuzu had already melted into the shadows. Zetsu made to follow them when Clair piped up.

"Thank you," She said, and when he turned to look at her, his eyebrow raised in a silent question, she gave him her heartwarming smile.

"He's kind of crude and scary," She offered as an explanation.

"And I'm not?"They both asked her.

"I already said that you weren't," She giggled, "I don't understand why you think you are." He blushed again and turned his back on her so she couldn't see.

"Whatever," He muttered, "Let's just go."

"Okay, but where are we going?" She asked, catching up to him and walking beside him. Zetsu hesitated; if he told her, she might resist.

"I'll tell you when we get there," His white half said reasonably.

"Okay," She agreed without hesitating. They walked along in comfortable silence for a while before she spoke up again.

"Um, Zetsu?" She asked, hesitating a little.

"What is it?" He asked without turning to her.

"Um, it's just, well, is there more than one person in you?" She asked softly and tentaviley. When he turned to look at her in shock, he could see that she was blushing and looking at the ground, as though embarassed by her own question. Should we tell her the truth? The black half wondered. She deserves to know, she did save our life. The white half reasoned. They had both been so careful to avoid saying "we" instead of "I", so how could she have guessed?

When he didn't answer for a minute, she blushed a deeper red and stammered, "I-I know it-it's a d-dumb question, n-never mind."

"No, it's not," The white half assured her, "We were just shocked because you guessed right." She jerked her head up to look in his golden eyes. "Really?" She asked in disbelief.

"Really," He repeated, confirming her suspicions.

"Oh," She said, blinking a couple of times before turning back to watch where she was going again with a slightly pleased expression. She's weird... The black half mused. His white half was just as amused and bewildered as the black half was. Zetsu decided that it was his turn to ask a question.

"Clair?" He asked softly.

"Hm?" She asked in response, turning to look at him.

"What are you?" The black half asked rudely. The white half had wanted to ask something more along the lines of, "Where are you from?"

"What am I?" She repeated, her brow furrowing together, as though she was confused by the question. When he nodded, she looked ahead again, her expression that of a person who is deep in thought.

After a few minutes she finally said, slowly and thoughtfully, "From what I remember, I'm part flower."

"Part...flower?" He repeated stupidly, shock making his thoughts come slowly.

"Mhmm," She replied, still deep in thought and unaware of Zetsu's emotional turmoil. She's like us! The black half rejoiced. She's nothing like us. The white half was more reasonable. She's part plant! The black half argued. Does she look like she's eats people? Does she wear a venus fly trap? The white half shot back. She's not afraid of us! The white half fell silent at this, withdrawing to think about that.

"Do you know what we are?" The black half took the opportunity to ask Clair.

"Hm? No, I don't think so. Are you part flower, too?" She asked him, coming out of her thoughts.

"No, we're just part plant," He replied, but the whole sentence sounded strange and foreign to him.

"Oh, but you're still like me!" Clair exclaimed, smiling brightly at him. I want her to smile at us like that all the time. The black half thought. The white half agreed with him.

"I guess we're alike in some ways," He said slowly, remembering his internal argument.

"I didn't think there was ANYONE like me!" Claire went on happily, still smiling at him.

"Yeah," Zetsu agreed, "We didn't either."

Okay, that's chapter two done, hope it's alright...You know, a review would really make my day (Nudge nudge, wink wink). Anyway, please don't flame me, it's not very nice. I might have to have Zetsu eat you if you do...Ha ha, just kidding, anway, hope you enjoyed reading my little piece of work or at least didn't get bored.
