When Kakuzu answered three hours. He meant three hours away if we ran not three hours away at our current pace. The bastard. It's been about seven hours since and finally we are here!... In front of a boulder...

Good thing I didn't have to walk!

-'Lazy ass.'-

So?

"Oi! Crazy Bitch! Get down!" Hidan looks up at me. He was carrying me on his shoulders. I wrap my arms around his head.

"No! I don't want to!" I shake my head.

"Get the fuck off!"

"No!" I whine. It kinda feels nice to act like a kid grabbed my waist and threw me off.

"There" I hit my back against the boulder.

"Ow.. There was no need to get so violent." I rub my head." All you had to do was tell me. You should do it like we learned in anger management. Use your words." Kakuzu tried his best not to burst out laughing.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

It's so fun to mess with him.

-'!'- Kurai laughed so hard that I bet he was having stomach cramps.

"Can we go in now?" I ask, completely ignoring Hidan.

"FUCKING ANSWER WHEN SOMEONE IS TALKING TO YOU!" He grabbed my shoulder.

I screamed randomly.

-'What's wrong?!'- Kurai seemed taken by surprise.

"What's wrong?!" Hidan seemed panicked.

Kakuzu eyes were wide open.

I giggled. "Nothing."

"Don't fucking scare me like that!" Hidan yelled. He looked like he was still a little mad at me, yet more calm than before. Kakuzu just rolled his eyes.

"Come on Hidan."

"Right." They did hand signs too fast for me to read. An entrance way leading to a poorly lit hallway appeared.

"Let's go Chiharu. Hidan, close the door."

"Good luck crazy bitch." I wave the foul mouthed man off. Kakuzu walks deeper into the hall, I follow behind. I didn't bother remembering how many lefts and rights it took to get to their leader's office. Kakuzu knocked three times.

"Come in."

The man on the other side of the door, sounded... Dangerous.

-' How can someone sound dangerous?'-

They just-!.. They just do...

Kakuzu opened the door and let me in first. This room was lit by one candle. I could see the silhouette of a man sitting behind a desk and a woman standing behind him.

"Who is this?" His voice sent chills down my spine.

"This is Chiharu. She wants to join." Kakuzu spoke in a polite tone. Like how a knight talks to a king.

This guy scares me...

-'...'-

"We don't have room for another official member. Besides that, how is a little girl like her going to help us?" He speaks." We're going to have to kill her since she is of no use and knows the whereabouts of our hideout."

Kakuzu turned to look at me. "I tried kid."

Kurai! What do I do? My future is in this guy's hands! I can't beat this guy! Even with your help!

-'Use... Use your charm! No.. I don't know! Just don't die!'-

Just don't die? That's all you have to sa-! My charm... My charm is an act... I got it!

"E-Excuse me!" I spurt out, I switched on my sad, good girl act. All eyes were on me.

"What is it?" The man leaned forward, I could now see his face. It was covered with piercings. The look in his eyes were terrifying.

"I... I have no family! I have no where else to go! I just wanted a home..." I swallow. "Last place I was at.. I had to run away... Orochimaru..." From the look on their faces, I would guess they knew the scary snake man. "He tried.. He tried to...!" I let the fake tears pour out. They were most likely thinking unspeakable things. They looked at me with pity, that's what I wanted.

-' You're such a good liar.'-

I'm not lying!... (Entirely.) Orochimaru did try to put a curse mark on me. It's not my bad if they interpret it wrong. They say the best con has some truth.

-'Touche.'-

The woman walked up to me and held me tightly in an embrace. I sobbed into her shoulder. "You can stay..." She whispered. "You can stay..."

"Konan!" Leader yelled.

"Promise? No one will hurt me?" I guess Konan was her name. She didn't tense up when he yelled at her.

"Promise."

She must run this man.

-' Oh yeah. She definitely does.'-

Score.

I whipped my eyes and got a good look at her. She had blue hair and amber eyes. I smiled at her, "Thank you big sister!"

Konan smiled. "Don't worry about it Chiharu." She pet my head.

"HEY!" The man yelled, getting our attention.

"Pain, she's staying." Konan stated, standing up. Once a woman makes up her mind, there is no changing man, Pain, seemed at a loss of words. She probably always did as she was told. This is probably the first time she's gone against him.

"Fine. She'll be... Our errand runner. Not an official member." He gave in, somewhat.

"Do I get paid?" I ask.

"Don't push it." He glared.

I turn to Kakuzu, bowing my head. "Sorry Kakuzu. You get sixty percent of zero." I don't like breaking promises, so I find loopholes.

"Don't worry about it kid." Even if it's just a little... I think he likes me.

Konan crouched down, so we were face to face, and smiled.

"Welcome to the Akatsuki, Chiharu."

Kurai, I have a feeling I'm going to fit right in.

-'Definitely'-
