I'm back. I'm playing DS at the same time, so there might be some mistakes.
Slight KonanxHidan.

Konan woke up before Hidan or Kakuzu. That was normal. She stretched and stood up, shaking off the leaves and dirt that clung to her coat. They had to get Shukaku and that was that. They didn't have all of the time in the world. Konan sighed and walked off to a nearby pond she discovered the second night they were there. She looked at her reflection in the lake. Her face had three large slashes across it. Jake would worry about her and they would have to get Shukaku and make a break for it. But they needed the whole Akatsuki for that to happen and most of them were dead. Konan lapped up some water and walked off to find some food. Some low fruit trees were around and so were bushes. She didn't change back to normal because if somebody walked by, they would recognize her as an Akatsuki member. Konan picked an apple off of its branch and plucked some berries that she confirmed safe. Konan munched on some of them and pulled a large leaf off of a tree. The stacked some food on it and dragged it off to where she slept with Hidan and Kakuzu. When she arrived, Kakuzu had awoken and was just lying on the ground.
"Morning Kakuzu."
Konan said as she approached him.
"I brought some food."
She continued as she stepped aside to show him that she had brought food. Kakuzu smiled and stood up after stretching and shaking himself off.
"Nice to know you brought us some food."
Kakuzu said. Konan smiled and wagged her tail. Hidan stirred, but didn't wake up.
"I swear some day I'm gonna put a curse on leader-sama."
Hidan muttered in his sleep. Kakuzu looked at Hidan and then grinned.
"I remember that day."
Kakuzu said.
"When was that?"
Konan asked.
"The day we killed that Asuma guy."
Kakuzu said. Then Hidan woke up.
"Who?"
He asked. Kakuzu looked over his shoulder to see his half asleep partner.
"Um…nobody."
Konan said with a nervous grin. She knew that Asuma was the mentor of that Shikamaru kid who put Hidan in that miserable pit and didn't want to say his name, for Hidan might get mad at the name because it would remind him of Shikamaru. Konan picked up an apple with her tail and tossed it at Hidan, who caught it in his jaws.
"Nice catch."
Konan said. Hidan yawned, dropping the apple. Konan picked up another apple with her tail and tossed it at Kakuzu, who caught it with his jaws as well. Kakuzu smashed the fruit in his mouth as it fell apart. Hidan lowered his head and picked up his apple, smashing his in two pieces as well. Konan looked up into the blue sky.
"We need to get Shukaku within a week."
Konan said, not looking at them. Hidan swallowed the rest of his apple and looked at her.
"A week?"
He asked. Kakuzu finished his as well and added.
"Really?"
Konan looked at the two and smiled.
"Hey, lets just enjoy our last days with that sweet boy."
She said. Hidan jumped to his four paws as his tail wagged wildly.
"Okay then, lets go!"
He said and ran off to Suna. Konan started laughing. It was good to have the normal Hidan back.
"Wait up!"
She called and ran off to catch up to Hidan. Kakuzu sighed and ran off as well.

Nobody was out of their houses that day and the three wondered why. Hidan looked around.
"This place looks like one of those ghost towns."
He said, inspecting the empty shops. Items were scattered everywhere and glass was broken.
"I wonder how this happened without us hearing it."
Konan said as she looked at an empty house. Konans ears perked up as she heard a swift swishing noise. Then, a small arrow raced by, piercing through Hidans tail. Hidan yelped and jumped in the direction the arrow came from. An archer stepped out of the shadow and sighed.
"Look Yuri, it's the three dogs that have been wrecking the town."
He said. Then a woman with projectile weapons hanging all over her body stepped out.
"Good job Yuma."
Yuri said and lifted her Bo staff.
"Now, you three have been causing a lot of trouble the last few hours, what are you back for?"
She asked, slowly spinning the Bo. Konan kept her mouth shut and acted as friendly as possible. Yuma took out another arrow and knocked it to the bows string. He then carefully aimed it at Konan.
"Yuri, we've gotta do this quickly."
Yuma whispered. Yuri nodded.
"Then you better hit the dogs quicker."
She said. Yuma closed one eye and aimed. Kakuzu lifted his ears and stood still, tail twitching.
"Game over."
Yuma said and let go of the string. The arrow flew off of the bows sting. Hidan quickly reacted and jumped in the way, getting pierced in the side of his body. The arrow almost flew out the other side of his body, but didn't make it and the tip of the arrow was barely touching Konan. Konan slowly shifted her eyes from Hidan to Yuma. Hidan growled and pulled the arrow out quickly. Yuma smirked.
"Too bad puppies, I poisoned these arrows. You're too late now."
He said. Yuri rolled her eyes.
"Don't tell them that or they'll figure out a loophole."
She said.
"They're just dogs."
Yuma said gruffly.
"Don't underestimate the dog brother Yuma."
Yuri said, narrowing her eyes. Yuma just snorted and knocked another arrow. Hidan growled and turned to face the two attackers, but felt an extreme pain. He snarled and stood his ground.
"It's taking effect."
Yuma said. Yuri smirked.
"Okay then, my turn."
She said and charged. Hidan collapsed and started whimpering in pain. Konan cringed at the pitiful sounds. Kakuzu looked at her.
"I'll take them on; you'll just have to take him back to the forest."
He said and turned back to their foes.
"I'm ready for a fight anyways."
He continued. Konan nodded and lifted Hidan onto her back and ran off.

Konan looked down at Hidan who was lying on the ground, nearly crying. Konan nuzzled the crook of his neck and whimpered.
"It's gonna be okay."
She said in a shaky voice. Hidan started to tremble and weakly shifted his eyes to look at Konan. Konan lied down next to Hidan as the trembling continued along with the painful whimpers.

Kakuzu growled at Yuri as she approached with her Bo. She spun the Bo and then jabbed it at Kakuzu who jumped back and sent threads in her direction. The threads grabbed the wooden weapon and tossed in aside. Then they grabbed Yuri by the legs and started to cut off circulation. Yuri yelled in pain and looked at Yuma.
"Do something brother!"
She yelled. Yuma quickly knocked an arrow and launched it swiftly. Kakuzu jumped out of the arrows path and continued to constrict Yuri. Yuri took out a kunai that was dipped in poison and tossed it at Kakuzu. Kakuzu barely had enough time to duck and one millimeter of his ear was cut, letting the poison seep into his skin. Kakuzu growled and charged at Yuri. Yuri panicked as Yuma knocked another arrow. Kakuzu jumped on top of Yuri and bit her neck, killing her. He then jumped off of her body and raced at Yuma after dodging the arrow. Kakuzu felt a sharp pain, but ignored it and kicked the bow out of Yumas hands. Yumas eyes widened as he took out an arrow and used is as a dagger. Kakuzu bit Yuma on the wrist and then reached for the neck until the pain increased. He growled and snapped at Yumas neck. His teeth met as he ripped half of his throat off of Yumas body and made sure he died. Kakuzu walked to in the forests' direction.

Hidan was snapping blindly at the air as Konan watched pitifully from afar. Her ears had lowered and her tail was curled around her hind leg. Her ears shot up at the sound of a yelp of pain not too far from where she sat. Konan jumped to her four paws and ran off.
Konan stared at Kakuzu who had fallen and was looking up at her.
"Are you okay?"
She asked. Kakuzu gave a few shaky breaths before shaking his head slowly. Konan whimpered and picked him up carefully, placed him on her back and ran off.
Konan raced as fast as she could with Kakuzu on her back to the forest. She skidded to a halt and carefully set him on the ground. She looked up at Hidan who had passed out. Konan ran up to him and sat down.
"Hidan?"
She asked, nudging a paw at his shoulder. Hidans body still trembled as she stared at her poisoned friend. She whimpered and licked his cheek.
"You okay?"
She asked, lifting her head. Hidans eyes slowly opened.
"N-no…"
Hidan choked out. Konan lied down and rested her head on one of Hidans extended paws.
"I-it hu-hurts…"
Hidan whimpered into Konans ear. Her ear flicked as she shifted her head to look at Hidan.
"It's gonna be okay."
She whispered. Hidan slowly closed his eyes. She sighed and sat up to check on Kakuzu. She slowly walked over to Kakuzu as the sun sank as slow as she did. She sat next to Kakuzu and sniffed. The two reeked of poison.
"Are you okay?"
She asked. Kakuzu opened one eye and then closed it. Konan sighed and walked over to a tree not too far from the two and lied down. She gave her two poisoned friends one last worried glance before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
