RECAP

"My fucking name is Hidan and this Cheap Bastards name is Kakazu, now bitch tell us your damn name."

I glared wishing he would burn alive as I tried to think of something to say. Damn curses and witches! I really wish I could lie.

"My name is…"

END RECAP

"My name is Cherry, that's what all my friends called me."

I said this with a smile hopeing this would appease the pair. My arm tightened around Nina ready to run if I had to.

Kakazu stared at me suspicious and looked like he was about to say something but was interrupted by the waiter returning with our order.

"About fucking time! You're damn lucky I don't sacrifice your fucking worthless ass to Jashin-Sama!"

The boy looked ready to faint, hightailed it out of there, I couldn't help but watch him amused, my sadistic side peeking through.

"Shut up Hidan no one cares about your damn pretend god."

"What the fuck did you just say stitch-face! I'll fucking sacrifice you to Jashin-Sama you bastard!"

This continued on both Nina and I enjoying our soon to be free food as they ranted at each other. It was quite the show Hidan all but standing on his chair screaming at Kakazu after taking a three bladed scythe from out of no where and was now swinging it around while threatening to use it. Kakazu just stayed in his seat not looking up at his partner and was still counting his money throwing insults every now and then.

"Who's Jashin-sama?" Nina whispered to me.

"A very powerful God who bestows a type of immortality upon his most promising and devoted followers and demands human sacrifices frequently. A follower is subjected to terrible amounts of pain constantly and uses themselves as a sacrifice daily but to them pain is pleasure rather it be in the act of recieveing it or dealing it out to others. I guess there sadist and masochist all wrapped up in one. You can always tell a Jashin follower by a symbol worn rather as a piece of jewelry or sewn into clothing and sometimes tattooed on skin. Hidan here wears his on a necklace around his neck as you can see, it's the circle with an upside down triangle. Understand?"

I glanced down at her to see her staring at Hidan slightly in awe and fear as she nodded faintly. I giggled to myself looking back up only saying a soft 'Good'.

I turned back to watching the two criminals, coming up with plan after plan discarding them as quickly as they came. They just became too complicated and usually required me lie, which I can't do. I sighed closing my eyes for a minute.

"Uh, Onee-chan?"

I open my eyes to see Nina tugging on sleeve blushing and not meeting my eyes.

"Hmm?"

"I-I uh…I have to go."

"Go? Go where?"

She gave me an 'are you serious' look before glareing.

.

Glare

..

Glare

…!

"Ohh…um now?"

"Yesss!"

"Okay, okay come on follow me."

I stand up my eyes straying to our 'guests' only to find that there yelling had increased considerably. I wonder for a moment how I hadn't noticed the rise in volume before then shrugged it off. Being on the same team with Naruto teaches you to ignore loud arguments.

A tugging at my side brought me out of my musings. Nina was starting to hop from foot to foot. Oops.

I smile apologetically and rush her to the bathroom.

"Hey bitch where the hell you think your going?!"

"Bathroom you asshole! Where do you think?"

"Bitch!" Hidan stood up and ran to follow us. When we had arrived at the girls bathroom at the back of the shop Hidan was muttering curses and still following us. I gave him an incredulous look when he tried to enter the bathroom after us.

"YOU DISGUSTING PEDOPHILE!"

"What the fuck?! WHO YOU CALLING A FUCKING PEDOPHILE!"

"YOU! YOU PERVERT THIS IS THE WOMANS ROOMS! STAY OUT HERE AND JUST WAIT YOU ASSHOLE."

"HOW DO I KNOW YOU WON'T FUCKING RUN AWAY!"

"HOW WOULD CIVILIANS ESCAPE FROM THE INFAMOUS AKATSUKI?!"

"…"

We glared at each other then. I was blocking the bathroom door with Nina inside and Hidan towering over me. I took this moment to realize that his eyes weren't pink but a rich magenta that was darker around the pupil but lightened considerably at the edges of the iris. It was such a unique color especially when I saw flecks of violet.

"…Fine."

I was startled out of my thoughts and had to mentally shake myself to remember what we had been talking about. When I did remember I smirked in triumph before turning to go into the bathroom. Turning back to give Hidan one last glare inwardly smiling at the sight of him pouting and grumbling under his breathe leaning against the wall with crossed arms. He looked kinda cute actually.

I turned away and walked into the room to find Nina cleaning her hands.

"Nina you're done already?"

"Yep Saku nii-chan. How are we leaving again?"

I smile and held out my hand out to her. She smiled taking my hand and stepped closer to me as I allowed my chakra to spike momentarily before disappearing in a shower of feathers.

We appeared back in the clearing where our stuff was hidden. I had let the henge drop and I was giggling as I watched Nina stumble then land unceremoniously on her ass. I stop and turn my gaze away from the girl to the direction of the village where I could detect two rapidly spiking chakra signatures. We'll have to hurry then.

"Nina go change in your new practice clothes, we start your training now."

"Hai!"

She smiled widely and ran off with the bag holding her training outfit behind a tree to change. After she was out of sight I made a single hand sign and two shadow clones poofed into existence and made the correct hand signs and henged them selves as the civilian girls that Nina and I used earlier. They nodded to me before running at a civilians pace away from us and the village.

That done I gathered up the bags that I left here before we went to the village and sealed them in a scroll and tied them to my belt.

Nina came after a few more minutes and I had to grin down at her when she smiled up at me with such pride and joy. My eyes wandered to her hair, it was still messy and uneven, I'll have to cut it later though.

I turned toward the border thinking before I spoke to an eager Nina.

"Okay, Nina first we'll work with your body physically then I'll train you in weapons, then chakra control, understand?"

"Hai"

"Good, now for your stamina, try to keep up with me for as long as you can, when you can't move any longer and I deem us far enough away from the village then we will make camp."

"Hai!"

«forgive me! I'm so sorry for the long absence and the very short chapter. I've had to rewrite this one a few times cause my siblings are evil! After the third delete I sorta gave up. But do not worry! I'm back and better than ever! From here on out the chapters will be fifteen pages or more! I hope that I do not fail you.»
