I wanted so badly to just stay behind with her, but, my duties to Akatsuki came first, and after all, if it weren't for me they would have no hideout to speak of. So, regrettably, I walked with Hidan to the next village, and pick up our supplies.

"Hey, old man, how's the girl healing up?" Hidan asked Kakuzu as he walked next to him.

"She's fine," He kept the answer short.

"Well, I can fucking see that, I mean, how's her wounds." Hidan smiled.

"Who is that girl anyways hm?" Deidara looked at the both of them.

"A prisoner," Kakuzu answered.

"Well, she seems to have a bit too much liberty to be a captive un… Tobi was running all over the compound bringing her food and what not, it was irritating." Deidra frowned, crossing his arms. "Then she went into your room un," He looked at Kakuzu.

"Is that why you threatened to blow up my door?"

"Yes! Tobi claimed she was with you, but I know your methods of captivity, and I know-"

Kakuzu pushed Hidan back, and grabbed Deidara by the collar of his cloak. "You know nothing about me, and you for damn sure don't want to fuck with me… The next time you even think about touching my room, and I don't care if the Kyūbi is in there, I will rip you limb from limb."

"All right, calm down Kakuzu, I'm sorry un," Deidara yelled, looking into the older shinobi's eyes.

"Yeah, calm down," Hidan pulled them apart. "We're almost to our contact,"

Kakuzu shot another glare at Deidara before he began to walk again.

"Hinata, look over here!" Tobi waved at her. "Have you seen so many cherry blossoms?" he seemed to be smiling. "Zetsu must be planning on using them for something." He looked up at the trees.

"No, actually I just figured this would be a nice place to relax every now and then." Hinata heard a voice from behind them. She saw a man, well, half a man standing in behind her. He wore an akatsuki robe, which seemed to be too big for him. The right side of his face seemed to be missing, but the left side held a yellow eye, and green hair. "And who is this young lady, a new recruit?" He gave a seemingly warm smile.

"This is Hinata, Hinata this is… well, this is part of Zetsu!" He scratched his head. "Wait, I thought you were on a mission… all of you,"

"Black Zetsu went to take care of it; I didn't really want to be bothered." He looked back at Hinata.

"Well, I'm going to take Hinata back inside, and leave you alone Zetsu." Tobi grabbed her arm, and began pulling her along. "C'mon Hinata,"

"Wait," Zetsu reached for her. "Her Chakra…"

"NO!" Tobi smacked his hand away. "You can't have her chakra!"

"It's not all of hers though." He smirked. "It was very nice to meet you Hinata; I'll be seeing you around."

Hinata followed closely as Tobi pulled her back into the compound, and back towards Kakuzu's room, that when she tripped, falling face first, into the ground.

"Oh no, Tobi is sorry Hinata." Tobi reached down to help her, that's when he noticed an all too familiar yellow eye coming from the shadow behind her. "Oh no, Zetsu, Tobi's sorry, he-"

"Silence…" The dark figure came closer. "Why are you running around in here, and who is that?"

"You can ask white Zetsu, I must take her back before Kakuzu comes back!" Tobi pulled her up.

Hinata managed to look at the dark creature, he had no mouth, only a yellow eye, and green hair. She couldn't get any more of a read on him because Tobi was all ready pulling her along with him.

"Please don't tell Kakuzu that I took you out of the room." Tobi begged as he finally stopped in front of the door. "He'll hurt me."

Hinata gave a warm smile. "I promise Tobi, t-thank you for letting m-me get some air…"

"It's no problem." Tobi seemed to be smiling. "And please let Tobi know if you need aaaannnnything."
