Ayame was close behind, following "Hey Hidan, where are we going anyway?"

"To a small village not too far from here. There's a festival and I wanted you to come with me."

"Oh ok, what festival?"

"The Sakura Festival!" they kept going.

Ayame was excited now, she's never been to a Sakura Festival before. "Well, what do you do there?"

"You mean you've never went to a Sakura Festival before?"

"Nope"

"Well, everyone gets dressed up, especially the girls. And just have a great time. Play some games, have some food and watch the Sakura trees bloom! I wanted to get there early for good seats. But, anywhere is fine... at least... if you're with me..." blushing slightly from the last thing he said.

"Oh... well that's fine with me... " blushing also and looked away still running after Hidan. They soon came to a small village lit up by paper lanterns all throughout the village buildings and wires. "Wow! So pretty! What should we do first Hidan?!"

"Well, for starters you need a kimono. So we need to go shopping a little." he took her hand and led her to a shop with many colorful kimonos that had different designs. "Go ahead, pick whichever one you like."

Ayame looked around the store a bit. "Hidan, come here, this one!" She pointed to an orange-red kimono with fire-like designs coming from the bottom to the middle. The bottom half was red and mixed into a light orange at the top. The long sleeves started to give some yellow at the ends mixing in with the orange. The sash was a bright blue. It reminded her of fire.

"Damn... you sure?"

"Yes! This is the one" she had a pyro-like look in her eyes just seeing the flaming designs.

"Ok then." Hidan payed for the kimono. They left to go somewhere she can change and found a hotel, so they went inside.

"Umm, excuse me, can I change into this really quick?" Ayame asked a lady at the front desk.

"Do you have a room here?"

"No"

"I'm sorry, you must get a room to use it"

"Then I'll just use the bathroom" Ayame was going towards the bathrooms.

"I'm terribly sorry but... changing is not allowed in the bathrooms. It would be a disturbance to the peace." Ayame stopped and turned around going back to the front desk.

".... fine..." she slammed her hand down on the desk "... how much for a damn room?" she was pissed now. She paid the lady and went up to the room, Hidan just followed.

The lady looked at her desk in a questionly way "what's this... saliva of some sort?...."

Ayame got to her room and Hidan came in too. "Wow at least it not a dump! Might as well stay here for the night to not waste money. Kakuzu would get really mad..." .... I have so much luck with me while I'm with her!... hehe this is going to be fun...

"Yeah, whatever... you sure it's ok? I mean are we allowed to just leave the base and stay somewhere else when we don't have a mission?... What if the leader needs us for a mission?..."

"Sure it's cool, as long as we keep a low profile, don't cause trouble, don't use a lot of money (that was Kakuzu's rule) and come back the next day... it's fine!"

"Oh well, ok then" she went into the bathroom and got changed. Oh my god... I can't believe this! Maybe I should just leave him and go back to the base... no...I can't do that to him... and anyway, yeah Kakuzu would get mad at me if I told him the truth... I have no other choice... I'll.... have to spend the night... with Hidan... and in the same room... at least there's two beds.... She came out of the bathroom and Hidan snapped his head towards her and blushed. "Well, how do I look?"

... oh Jashin-sama... you were the one who gave me this luck, didn't you?... damn she's so hot... that kimono really does suit her... it matches her hair... and it goes hell a lot well with her breasts!... thank you.... Jashin-sama.... for bringing her into the Akatsuki.... you really are looking after me....

"Umm hello~ Hidan, you ok?" Hidan kept looking at her blushing for a while then snapped back to reality.

"oh well.. It suits you! Your hair is perfect with it's color! Everyone will be so jealous of you." He hugged Ayame and blushed slightly when he felt her breasts on his stomach (remember, she's short .)

"Umm... Hidan? You can let go of me now... aren't we gonna miss the festival?"

"Oh right, the festival! Let's go!" he took her hand and ran out the hotel into the streets of the village. They played lots of games and ate together in a little restaurant. Finally it was time to watch the Sakura trees blossom.

Petals floated in the air around them with the wind helping them travel much easier. "Wow, it's so pretty!"

"Yeah.... Well, now you finally got to go to a Sakura Festival.... and with me! Did you have fun?"

"Yep~ lot's of fun! Thanks for taking me Hidan" she hugged him and he blushed slightly.

"S-sure... no prob.... ready to go back to the hotel now?"

Oh yeah, I forgot we're staying here tonight... well... I have no other choice... "I'm ready, I'm tired anyway" giving out a yawn, they walked back to the hotel and to their room. Ayame changed back to her regular clothes "oh..."

"What is it?"

"I didn't know we were gonna stay here for the night, so I didn't bring my night clothes..."

"Well then, I guess you'll have to sleep in your under clothing... unless... you really need to buy a pair of pajamas quick. But you don't need to buy any~"

"Huh? Why? I'm not gonna sleep in my under clothes or my regular clothes!"

"I know, I know... that's why I got you a pair of pajamas..." he took out a pair of pajamas. It was an orange short sleeve shirt that went down to the knees almost, and red shorts to go underneath.

A twinkle could be seen in her eyes "oh Hidan, you seem to really know me!" (Yes, I like big shirts to sleep in.... ~.~....)

"Do I take care of you or what?" He was really proud of himself for this one, he hasn't had this much success with a girl in... never! XD

"Thank you" She kissed his cheek and went to change in the bathroom.

... hot damn.... she... kissed my cheek.... maybe taking things slow is a good idea... oh what the hell, no one will know!... he stood frozen for a moment with a hand on his cheek where Ayame had kissed him. He smiled and went to change as well. Soon he crawled into his bed. Ayame came back with the pajamas on. He saw her and blushed ... it looks as though... she has nothing underneath the shirt... damn damn damn!... I really did pick out a great outfit for her... and the shirt even compliments her curves, even though it looks like a large... you'd think it would hide her curves... heh... not this shirt... this is special, a custom made shirt that I ordered when I first met her, all I had to do was pick it up from the store... Ayame crawled into her own very large bed as well and turned off the light.

"Good night Hidan, thanks for everything."

"Yeah... good night... Ayame...." .... what am I doing?... this may be the only chance I've got to do this... when we get back to the base, who knows what Itachi or even Deidara might do to me if I try this on her there... yeah... this is my only chance.... Hidan had a plan and he's not going to change it now.

______________________________________________________________________________

-With Itachi, Deidara and.... Sasori?!-

"It's faint but I think I can follow it..." Itachi was following Ayame's chakra trail she had left... forgetting to conceal her chakra. He was leading the group.

"Hey Danna... why did you want to come along, un?... I thought you didn't care about me... why would you care about my little sister, un?" Deidara looked behind him and noticed Sasori, in his real form, following as well.

"It's true I don't care about you much... but you're a guy Deidara and Ayame is a girl. A 16 year old girl at that. Hidan is a pedophile in my eyes and I don't trust him with Ayame... especially now that it's getting dark... they haven't come back so they must be staying the night somewhere! Why didn't you put a tracking device on her?! I know I would if she was my little sister..." Sasori looked away slightly blushing from what he had just said.

"... wow Danna, un... I'd never knew a puppet could feel love towards someone..." Deidara turned his head back facing forward laughing a little.

"I-I don't love her! I just... feel protective over her... that's all! Like an uncle almost... or even a brother as well sometimes... so yes I do love her... but as a family member..." still blushing from Deidara's little comment.

"Ok Danna.. I believe you, un. At least I have another one wanting to protect my sister from people like Hidan! Itachi do you know how far we are from her, un?!"

"... this trail.... it's leading to the village not too far from the base, so we're not too far away now. We'll go there and search around for her chakra again and see if we find anything... but now we know where they went at least..." they went faster to the village, hoping they aren't too late.
