It was when she looked at me, with those eyes, those sweet loving eyes; I started to believe in fate…

"T-tell me about yourself K-Kakuzu…"Hinata looked at him, as he lay next to her. "H-how did you end up I-in the Akatsuki?"

"Ha… It's been many years since I've thought about that…" He smirked. "I honestly don't remember…"

"O-Oh…."

"Tell me about yourself…. I only know from what I saw when I first met you…"

"Not much h-has changed…" She let her eyes wonder from him. "I cannot explain it…" She gave a sigh. "I never f-felt love, I never felt k-kindness… Until you gave m-me Mogi…" She looked at him. "Y-you gave me a reason to live…"

Kakuzu took her hand, holding it tightly he looked at her. "I'm glad I could do something right in my life."

Hinata smiled, looking at his hand, he was the first person to hold her hand like this. She wanted to just explode in a sea of ecstasy, and be with Kakuzu on the ride to heaven.

"KAKUZU HEY OLD FUCK ARE YOU IN YOUR ROOM!" A loud voice called out from his door. "Is that bitch awake yet!"

Kakuzu was pulled from his own nirvana, by the sound of his loud mouthed partner at the other end of the door. "What do you want Hidan!"

"The big guy wants to see you that's what the fuck I want." Hidan came into the door. "Well, nice to see you're alive." Hidan smirked at Hinata. "For a minute I thought he was fucking a corpse."

"Hidan, I'll be up to see leader in a few, can you leave me alone now…"

"You know what he's going to fucking say… 'If I wanted to see you later, I would have sent for you later.' I really don't want to hear his bull shit."

"Hinata, please make yourself at home… I will be back shortly." Kakuzu spoke, getting off the bed. He made a beeline to the door, leaving Hidan standing in the room.

"You're not bad looking." Hidan smirked. "As a matter of fact, if you ever get tired of that fossil you-"

"Hidan, I will rip your head off if you don't shut up!"

"SO testy!" Hidan shouted walking off, closing the door behind him.

"W-who was that Mogi?"

"Hidan… Don't worry; he wouldn't dare hurt you… He's just a major pain."

"O-Oh, I wasn't w-worried… He's actually k-kind of f-funny." She smiled.

"Kakuzu, you are one of my most feared and loyal shinobi's… Yet, you bring a Leaf shinobi… an Heiress, into our hideout… They will look for her…"

"Pein… Do you not trust my judgment?" Kakuzu asked, looking at the man.

"What do you mean?"

"We keep her for ransom… They pay, they get her back…" He smirked. "Money, it's what we'll always need."

Pein gave a smirk. "I'm sorry I ever doubted you…."

Kakuzu bowed to the man before walking out of the room… He was good… If anything, he was too good… He knew good and damn well no one wanted Hinata back, he knew that the Hyuga's wouldn't care if Hinata was missing, or dead… He truly was a master of deceit.

"I know you were bull shitting Pein…" Hidan whispered behind him. "He's going to catch on soon…"

"Don't you have anything better to do other than bother me?" He looked back the silver haired man.

"Just looking out for you and the girl…" He shrugged. "Hope you can pull this off for a while is all…"

With that said, Hidan walked off, leaving Kakuzu to walk alone to his room. Hidan had a point, but at the same point and time, he really didn't care about what Hidan said. He reached his door, putting his hand on the knob, he thought to himself.

What time I have with her, I'm going to make it worth it… Opening the door, he looked on the bed to see Hinata not laying there. Panic flooded his body, fearing that she had fallen off the bed. Taking a few steps in, he saw her standing next to his desk, wrapped in his Akatsuki robe. He gave a small smile at her seeing she was clearly embarrassed.

"S-sorry I-I" Her face turned a deeper crimson. "I-It was j-just I-I was cold a-and…" She started to slide it from her arms. "I-I'll take it o-off."

Kakuzu walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her. "I like it on you." He whispered in her ear, pulling it up on her shoulders. "It's very cute." He stoked her face softly. "Are you okay? Is anything hurting you?"

"I'm f-fine." She smiled. "I am a medical Nin, so I can heal myself, or at least be able to focus chakra so that it doesn't hurt so much."

Kakuzu stared into her eyes, and before he could stop himself, he pressed his lips against hers.

That kiss settled it, she was mine, and I was hers… The way she slid her hands over my stitches, so gentle they felt like roses were grazing my cheeks.
