I don't own Naruto but I DO own this fanfiction and all the OCs.

Chapter 48: The Deal With Stalkers?

Kakuzu was not pleased.

Why? For the usual reason, which would be his annoying partner in crime Hidan. He had put up with this freak's nonsense every day for the sake of his "job". He had taken care of Hidan the six months he was pregnant and now he wanted him to babysit?

"It's only for a little while," Hidan was saying. "Besides I'm only asking you to babysit Inako and Nashiko. I've got Hikari; Erena and Taemi can handle Kuramaru. Not to mention the fact that Sasori is here to help you."

Kakuzu growled in apparent disdain.

Sasori just simply ignored the situation for the time being. He had known this would happen; it was inevitable so he was just going to refrain from thinking about it until it was necessary for him to think about it.

Inako seemed to be just as nonchalant about the situation as Sasori was and Nashiko was preoccupied by her male dolls. Kuramaru was playing with a stuffed soldier doll with Erena.

"I have an errand to run," Kakuzu said.

"You only need to pick up something down the street," Hidan argued. "You could just take them with you. Or wait until I get back."

Kakuzu huffed stubbornly.

Sasori now changed his mind. This was taking too long. He just wanted to get it over with.

"Just agree to do it Kakuzu," Sasori said. "It's shouldn't be all that hard for someone like you."

Kakuzu pinched the bridge of his nose.

He sighed. "Fine."

Hidan gave a triumphant smile.

He then proceeded to pat the heads of his two content daughters. "Be good for Kakuzu, my cutie-wootie, sweetie-weeties."

Kakuzu twitched. "Please refrain from doing that. It's downright disturbing."

"Just shut up."

Hidan then pat Kuramaru on the head, took Hikari and headed out.

There was a moment of silence. Then Sasori finally spoke up.

"Just making a point," he said. "If you mess up Hidan will most likely go on a frantic killing spree, Leader-sama will be completely furious and you probably won't get paid. Just saying."

Shortly after this, Hidan was reaching the plaza that was a little ways from the apartment, at which he was supposed to be meeting Katamaru. Regardless of the shopping plaza being relatively small compared to other plazas, it was already bustling with people. Since it was a Saturday many people who were off work or off from school were filling the place; schoolgirls, skaters, young women, little children and shoppers. Amidst this jumble of people, Katamaru stood by the fountain, hands in his pockets, looking slightly out of place with his expensive jacket and designer jeans. Even more so when Hidan stepped up next to him, in greeting, wearing his punky ensemble.

"Took you long enough," Katamaru said, while texting. That was his odd way of greeting people.

Hidan was used to be greeted in such a way by more people than him. "Hey Katamaru-kun."

Hikari waved, cooing a greeting.

Katamaru walked off to the side and motioned for Hidan to follow him. He stopped at a little patio behind a small bistro.

Looking around, to see if anyone was within earshot, he finally said, "I'm being stalked."

Hidan gave a look of surprise. "Stalked?"

"Yes, stalked."

"And you can't take care of something like that on your own? I mean, I thought you were 'famous'. Haven't you been stalked before?"

"Not like this. This girl is nuts!"

"Who's nuts?" asked a voice.

Katamaru jumped, covering his mouth to keep from screaming.

Behind him was Tenko who was obviously getting one heck of a kick out of Katamaru. In her fierce, punkish, ecclectic street getup, it would be natural for someone to jump at the sight of such a jumble of prints.

Katamaru swore at Tenko.

"So who's nuts?" Tenko asked, ignoring Katamaru.

"Apparently, Katamaru-kun's being stalked," Hidan explained.

"Ah."

Katamaru was perturbed at the lack of response. He had said he was being stalked and no one seemed to care. What was wrong with these people?

"I said I'm being stalked," Katamaru repeated, annoyed. "Do you know what that means?"

"You should be used to it by now," Tenko smirked. "Surely you 'rich and famous' guys get stalked all the time."

"I keep my life private."

"Uh-huh."

Hidan shook his head with a slight laugh. It seemed he had wasted his time. Well, at least Hikari was able to see some new things. The baby boy was currently inspecting a butterfly that was flying around his head.

In the end they ended up just taking a walk down the plaza.

That was when everything turned upside down again.

Tenko had stopped to admire some shoes in a shop window when suddenly a girl came running down the plaza towards them. Her stilletos made a clacking sound on the sidewalk and her long blonde hair flowed as she ran.

"I found you!" she cried.

Katamaru had a look of complete despair on his face. "She found me."

Much to Hidan's surprise, many of the people around had looks of despair on their faces to and were slowly evacuating the area. Even Tenko looked uneasy.

"She's the stalker?" Tenko managed.

"You know her?" Hidan asked.

"She's the little sister of a local gang leader."

The blonde girl had finally reached them and grabbed Katamaru. "Hi!"

Katamaru gulped. "H-hi."

"You can't refuse me now, Katamaru-kun."

"…Why?"

"Because."

Suddenly, a group of thugs appeared.

Now the remainder of the people in the plaza started to run away. Katamaru backed up.

Suddenly, Hidan whacked him upside the head. "You said it would be safe to bring Hikari."

Whyever did they always attract thugs?

Tenko growled in frustration. "Look alive boys. This is gonna be rough."
