I can't believe I'm actually keeping up with this story. It's like a miracle…

This chapter may seem a little odd and boring, but I primise it wont be like this next chapter. It's just I really don't feel like making a long chapter, so I cut it off… sorry! Enjoy

I do not own Naruto

Two Weeks Later…

A deep rumble of thunder echoed through the walls of the hideout, followed by a crack and crash of lightning, which wove itself through the clear sunny day. Almost immediately the sun was whisked away by heavy, dark clouds, and rain.

Outside, the few people who were out in the specific part of the land of the lightning ran to the comfort of their houses and apartments. All of them thinking that it was just a little rain, but to the few members of Akatsuki residing in the small, yet, roomy hideout just along the border knew that it was a warning not to disrupt Leader-Samma…

… A tall man in his 30's sat at a small desk. He had spiked orange hair and multiple piercings around his face. All about his desk were papers, pens, a stapler, and a cup of steaming tea.

But nothing at all was touched. The papers did not rustle. The pens were not writing, The stapler not staplering. Not even the tea which gave of a smooth, relaxing aroma, was touched, it just sat like every thing else… That is, all except for Leader-Samma aka Pein.

He had tried to keep himself busy that day, but whatever he tried to do just made him lose interest. So he leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling, trying to assure himself that he had made the right decision…

… It had been mid-noon, days earlier, when Hidan and Kakuzu had returned from their mission, bursting in during a meeting. Both telling wild stories.

Hidan claimed that they had met some-one very odd and intriguing, a woman. . He claimed that she seemed to have recognized them immediately as members of the Akatsuki. She was very intelligent. He also said that she too was on the run from the law. He also commented that the woman had shown remarkable strength and talent with using fire technique and other such jutsu's, including one that they had never even seen. He also claimed that she had a child. He Also commented on that she was one of the most smexy-est people he had ever met, and gave a very detailed description of what she looked like and also might had exaggerated a few point all to well.

But what was most peculiar was that Kakuzu actually had agreed, and backed up every single detail of the story. Except for the part bout what she looked like… he just ignored that subject all together.

The thought of Hidan and Kakuzu actually agreeing on something was just: wrong. It was like a horse and cow falling in love, it's not natural! So Pein decided that for the sanity of them, he would separate the pair and put them with "temporary" partners.

Hidan with Sasori

And Kakuzu with Deidara…

Pein leaned forward, grabbed his tea and took a long gulp. It felt warm and cozy as it traveled down through his body. And it calmed his nerves. He had made the right decision… right?

A gentle tap came from the door.

Pein looked up. "Who is it?

The door opened a few centimeters. "It's just me." Said a female voice. It was soft and gentle, like the voice of a mother.

Pein got up and walked over to open it fully to revile a young woman with signs of ageing just beginning to show up on her pale, china doll, face. Wisps of baby blue hair gently hung down on her face, but the majority of it was turned into a tight ballet bun sealed by a white origami flower.

"Come in Konan." Pein said moving aside for his partner to come in.

The young woman, named Konan, swiftly walked in. Pein again took his seat behind his desk, while Konan sat in the chair opposite him. "Here is the mission report update from Sasori and Hidan." She said reaching into her cloak, pulling out a few pieces of paper, and handing them over to Pein.

"Thank you Konan. Though I don't really think that you came here to just give me a mission report." He said smirking.

Konan arched a delicate eyebrow before smiling. "Like always, you can read me like a book… You're right I didn't just come here to give you a report. I came here to tell you that you did the right thing by splitting Hidan and Kakuzu up."

This time it was Pein's turn to arch an eyebrow and show an expression of "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Konan reached over and grasped her partner's left hand with both of hers. "Don't try and fool me. You have been worrying about the issue since you made it. And you're not fooling any of us." 'us' Meaning Tobi, Deidara, Zetsu, and Kakuzu. The Members presently residing in the comfort of their hideout.

Her hand was as soft as silk and smooth as paper. Pein felt the warmth of her hands and let it absorb into him like air. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "You're right, thank you Konan." He said reopening his eyes to look deep into hers'.

Konan smiled, and got up from her seat. "Glad to be of service." She walked over to the door and was just about to leave when she stopped "And, Pein, if you would be ever so kind to make it stop raining so hard. I'm afraid we've already started to leak in the main living room." She said before closing the door behind her.

Feeling quite more positive in himself, Pein took the papers. They were written in a, rather, messy hand writing, that Pein knew only to be Sasori's.

"I really need to teach him how to write." Pein muttered to himself trying to make out what the report said…

Here is what it stated:

Mission 23 Date: October 21st

Team: Sasori and Hidan

Date left: October 19th

Starting point: Hideout located in Lightning

Ending Point: Konoha

Present location: Border of Konoha

Mission Objective: Gathering of Information from the source: Yakushi, Kabuto. Regarding Information about former member of Akatsuki: Orochimaru. Set location is an old subway system underground, with limited access.

Time till return: 1 to 2 days

Extra notes: My newest member: Hidan. He shows no views in art what so ever!

Pein sighed. It was now the 22nd. He truly and deeply hoped that he and his partner had been right in making this decision…

MEANWHILE… The echo of footsteps could be heard along the underground rail system. Business people were hurriedly running about their schedules. None of them noticing the 2 figures lurking in the darkened shadows, away from the travelers view.

The first was a rather boyish, red headed male, who was wearing a black cloak with red clouds. All together he looked like a good looking older teen, except for the fact that he looked rather uncomfortable with his surroundings. Every few minutes he would fidget or change his footing… the way he moved was rather odd as well, he moved very stiff and woodenly, as if he wasn't used to moving around in his body.

The second man was a familiar face. He had silver hair and violet eyes. Around his neck he wore a rosary, and around his back he wore a scythe. He, of course, was Hidan. He too was fidgeting, and moving around. Partly was because he hated being there… "First leader-samma doesn't believe our story, which was true. Then he has the nerve to split us up, And pair me up with an artistic loving freak that shows no interest in any type of religion!" Hidan thought bitterly, as he leaned up against the cold wall. "Then, to make things worse, Leader has the nerve to send me on this stupid, boring mission to collect information. Jashin-damn! I hate this stupid mission."

As the hours grew late, and the subway lamps were lit. The two members stayed in the shadows. The passengers slowly dissolved, heading back to their homes. Still they waited

After about an hour after the lamps had been lit, only then did Hidan and the other Akatsuki member come out. They walked down the subway line, which many people had walked already that day. There footsteps echoing on the hard, damp pavement. A few people were still walking, but they paid no attention to the two men in cloaks.

The two men stopped briefly at a map of the station to look for their desired point of meeting.

"Kabuto said to meet on the # 43 south." The red head said. His voice was smooth and mature, not like the one of a teenage boy.

"I know, Sasori, you've told me the plan at least a half a dozen times." Hidan snapped at his colleague.

Sasori looked up at his partner warily, and made a weird movement with his back. They again began walking.

"And will you stop fidgeting like that…" Hidan again snapped.

"Well sorry! I'm not used to walking around like this, out in the open. I'm used to me being in the safety of Hiruko, and not being seen by so many people. You know I don't like it when people see me in my true form." Sasori said. this time it was his turn to snap. His features had turned impatient and fierce.

"Actually…" Hidan said in his famous pissed off tone. " I don't know that!"

Sasori looked down and mumbled "Deidara does."

Hidan to looked down. "I hate it as much as you do." he mumbled

They didn't talk the rest of the way, they just walked silently. They came to the #43 south, and waited…

…and waited…

… and waited…

…and waited some more…

"Oh my Jashin." Hidan said pissed off.

"Oh my God, I hate waiting" Grumbled Sasori turning to his temporary partner

"I know what ya mean." Hidan said "Kakuzu always has to take the longest time getting ready for missions. He thinks he has all the time in the world. Meanwhile I'm waiting for hours on end just so that we can leave… Then I'm the one who gets in shit!"

Sasori nodded in agreement "Deidara's the same way."

…Sasori and Hidan finally found something that they both disliked, Which started multiple conversations of many things, one such conversation consisted of a duck and a frog but, that's a different story…

Finally the subway arrived. The doors opened with a ping, and Sasori and Hidan both stepped in. No-one was is the subway, that they could see, or at least in the section they were located in. They had just sat down when they heard one of the joining doors open then shut.

"Hey You!" A voice piped out. "I thought no-one else was on here."

Hidan thought for a moment. "That voice sounds way to familiar…"

Sasori thought as he rolled his eyes. "Great more company."

The 2 men turned around to see a small girl about the age of four, with long black hair tied up into 2 Chinese style buns, bright blue eyes, and wearing a white and black dotted sun dress.

She had a look of confusion looking at the red headed man, before turning to the Jashinist. Her face went from confusion to a smile. "Hi!" she said cheerily to Hidan.

Sasori turned to face his partner, with a questioning look. Hidan just looked at the child in silence, before saying: "Hello Karinai."…
