Kakuzu walked next to Hidan, silence engulfing the both of them. His mind wondered about Hinata, and what she was doing… He could only imagine that by now Tobi had defiantly getting on her nerves or that Deidra's bombs were keeping her awake. Granted he knew for a fact she was safer with the Akatsuki safe house, it wasn't really a place for silence and relaxation.

"So what's the story on the girl?" Hidan finally broke the silence.

"What do you mean?"

"Well…." Hidan smirked, taking in a deep breath. "A few years before, you came back to the hideout, and your chakra was completely different, and that's when you told me you had managed to hide your actual heart. A few years ago, we went to the leaf village for the Chūnin exams, and the only person you seemed interested in was that girl, so… What the fuck's up with her?"

"It's really none of your business." Kakuzu answered looking over at Hidan.

"Oh c'mon Kakuzu."

"Why does this interest you?" He looked over at him.

"Well, if you're not into her, I might wanna take a swing at it. I mean those large round-"

Kakuzu grabbed Hidan by his neck, and held a kunai at the base. "You go near her, you touch her, I will fucking take your goddamn head off and bury it were you can't find it."

"Ha-ha, well, you answered my question." Hidan smirked. "I knew you felt something for her."

"So what are you going to bust my balls or something?" He loosened his grip on Hidan's neck.

"Nah, as a matter of fact, I think she's good for you, you're not a complete and utter dick when you're around her."

Kakuzu was about to speak again, when he noticed a group of men surrounded them. He looked around to see them all wearing the symbol of the hidden leaf.

"What's that Akumaru?" One of the men looked at the dog. He took in a deep breath. "You're right, I can smell her too." The man stood up, looking at them. "These guys have been around Hinata."

Kakuzu frowned, looking at them all. "Well, I guess you're the team they sent for the little girl huh?" He looked at the one who had the dog. "Well, I guess I should give you this." He threw a scroll towards the man. "You have three weeks to give us that money, or the girl gets killed."

"Yeah, and don't you little sons of bitches try and find her before we get the money." Hidan smirked. "I'd hate to have to rip that pretty little head off of that rocking body." He cocked his head to the side. "Well then again, I wouldn't really hate it."

"Kiba give me the scroll." Another asked

Kakuzu took this time to look over the six men. His eyes locked with another shinobi, who wore sunglasses.

"What is this Mogi?"

"It is a tracking insect."

"What?"

"Master, she had an encounter with a shinobi… He forced himself on her, and when she was unconscious. He implanted one in her, so that he could find her, no matter what."

Kakuzu reached under his cloak, and pulled out a small bag. "There's no need for this either." He tossed it to the male with the sunglasses.

"So you are Akatsuki?" The one who held the scroll spoke.

"Wow, he's so smart." Hidan smirked. "Congratu-fucking-lations, we have a winner."

"You wanna start something!" A blond man shouted, clinching his fists.

"Honestly, Lord Jashin wouldn't be pleased if I killed you right now, so I'll just wait."

"These sick fucks have Hinata! How could you guys be so calm?" He shouted, looking over to the one reading the scroll.

"Because Naruto, if we do anything right now, they could kill her…" The man holding the scroll answered, before looking up at Kakuzu and Hidan. "Very well, we will meet these terms…"

"Good, we will meet here in a week, bring the money, and you get the girl… If not, well I kill her in front of all of you." Kakuzu spoke, before turning to walk away.

Hinata sat on the bed, as she looked around the room. She actually missed someone for the first time, and the moments he was gone, felt like torture. Hinata's mind was taken from her thoughts by loud knocks on the door, getting up she headed towards the door. But before she could get close it swung open, with the man in the orange mask standing at the other side.

"Hello!" He waved his hands. "I'm Tobi, Kakuzu told me to check up on you."

Hinata gave a small smile. "Hello." She bowed. "I'm Hinata."

"Nice to meet you." He bowed back. "Are you doing okay? Do you need to lie back down?"

"N-no, I'm f-fine." She smiled. "I'm a-a little hungry."

"Okay!" He jumped up. "I'll go grab you something!" He started running off. "Please go lay back down, I don't want Kakuzu to be mad at me." He looked back at her.

Hinata gave a smile before nodding… He sure was a strange man, but she could see what Kakuzu meant by him being able to ease any situation.

"So, in a week you have to give her back." Hidan sighed. "Well at least you'll be getting one thing you love."

Kakuzu groaned at Hidan's comment. "Shut up Hidan…."

"Why? You know I'm right… Money will always be your true love; the girl is only a mistress…" Hidan smirked. "I mean the only difference between her and money is you could fuck her…. Then again, with how much you love money, you could be fucking your money in your room…"

"I swear, if you don't shut up, I'm going to rip your head off."

"I'm just kidding with you." Hidan smiled. "But seriously, what's your plan?"

Kakuzu grunted again, in complete annoyance. "I'll figure something out… I know they will not bring the money…. They'll bring an entire team, to try and catch us… We kill them, I get to keep her, and everything is just fine."

"Wow…" Hidan blinked. "you actually came up with a pretty damn good plan."

"Yeah, so why don't you just shut the fuck up, and lets hurry up and get back…"
