Thank you for reading this far. And thank you to the guest who has reviewed, I'm glad you find it cute.

Cass' POV

Once everyone was gone from the kitchen I had started to clean all the dishes, stacking them up beside the sink to dry. Singing softly as I worked, I slowly started to sway my hips. Reaching the chorus of the song in my head my voice rose in volume and I started to smile as I sang. Turning as I was singing I spotted Zetsu sitting at the table and almost tripped over my legs as I immediately became quiet. Catching myself on the counter I regained my balance before looking over at him.

"No need to stop singing. It was rather nice." He said calmly as he wiped something off the corner of his mouth that looked disturbingly red.

"Thank you, but I don't really sing in front of others."

"You just were." I frowned at his response and tried to ignore him as I finished cleaning, failing almost immediately.

"How long were you sitting there anyway?"

"Long enough. Why don't you sing in front of others?"

I groaned softly and turned, leaning against the spotless counter. "I get nervous and my voice starts shaking."

"There's no need to be nervous, you have a beautiful voice." I blushed slightly and smiled at him.

"Thank you."

"So sing us something. Just pretend we're not here."

Pondering it slightly I shrugged. "Fine." Taking a few deep breaths I started to sing Primadonna while tapping my finger on my hip to keep the beat. I refused to look at Zetsu as I sang and it wasn't until I had already finished singing that I noticed Sasori was now leaning against the doorway. Why do more people keep showing up? This is weird enough as it is. My face turned bright red and I turned quickly, putting the rag I was using in the sink and just staring at it.

"Why did you stop?" For once since I got here Sasori's voice held some emotion and I glanced over at him.

"Because the song was done…"

"Sing another."

"But I-"

"It wasn't a question." I shut my mouth at his level of force and composed myself before starting to sing The Song of the Ancients. The song was a much slower beat than the one before it and it was much easier to keep my nerves in check. I kept my hands on the edge of the counter as I sang, only glancing over at Sasori and Zetsu to make sure that no one else came in. When I was done I slowly stared to edge over to the other doorway.

"So uh… this was like fun and all but…" Before I could get talked into singing more I bolted down the hallway and hid in our room. I didn't bother checking to see if anyone followed me, I just hid under my blanket from all the embarrassment. A few minutes later, once I was calmed down again, I snuck out from under the bedding and looked around. I crept over to the wall and turned on the light before going back over towards the bed.

I stopped in front of the tall bookcase between the mattresses and started to skim the books, a little shocked that I could read them. Not like it's the weirdest thing around her… Picking one up titled "Tai Chi Chuan" and taking it over to my bed to start reading it.

Bre's POV

Leaving the kitchen yet again I followed Hidan back outside. We walked back to where we were before and he stopped, turning back towards me. "So what now?" I asked, mumbling slightly as I moved my bangs out of my eyes. I rubbed my arm, trying to work out the sore muscles and get rid of the aching. I hate exercise...

"So we start stretching. And the fuck did I say about mumbling Bitch?" Hidan glared at me and I adverted my eyes. "Pay attention!" I quickly looked at him, a bit afraid of what he would do if I didn't, and he huffed before starting to stretch. I copied his movements and felt as my muscles stretched. The feeling of them pulling was a mixture of pain and pleasure seeing as they were still sore but stretching them out was helping to relieve that.

Groaning softly I continued to copy after him for maybe 10 minutes, until it felt like we had stretched every muscle. "Do you always stretch this much?"

"No Bitch, I let my muscles hurt whenever I do fucking anything." Hidan rolled his eyes at me and I frowned at my dumb question and silently cursed myself. He laughed slightly, his voice holding a high level of insanity, as he threw off his cloak. "I'm gonna show how to punch. So you better fucking be watching Bitch."

"Yeah, yeah…" I looked up at him, watching from under my bangs as they fell back into my face. He moved his feet apart and brought both of his hands up in front of him. Shifting my feet, I brought up both my arms, my hands in lose fists. He glared at me again and I tightened the fists. Now satisfied he began to show me different punches.

We stood out in the rain a long time… Me punching and Hidan correcting me was a back and forth situation that repeated for the longest time. I could feel my clothes clinging to my body from a mix of sweat and rain. As time moved on my breathing started to become more labored and heavy. Sadly though it did not seem as if we were going to be done training for a while.

Several Hours Later

Panting heavily I dropped onto the ground, letting my legs sprawl out. Hidan and I had just finished what was probably 4 hours of training. I was thankful that we were finally on the warm down and I reached out, getting as close to touching my toes as I could. We stretched out our muscles and when the stretches on the ground were done Hidan sprang up, forcing me to get up on my own. Once I was up he smacked me on the back, a huge stupid grin on his face, and almost sent me falling onto my face.

"You didn't do half bad Bitch." He laughed maniacally and walked in front of me, missing me both rolling my eyes at him and groaning in reply. Still, half of me is bad… I followed him back to the base, ignoring him as he started talking loudly about something, and walked over to the couch, dropping in it heavily. Before I knew it I had dozed off into a light sleep.

Cass' POV

Peaking out of my door I looked both ways, having heard Hidan yelling as he came in. Slinking out I walked down the hall, heading for the entrance to look for Bre. Before I even got half way I nearly ran right into Pein, who merely raised an eyebrow at me. "Sorry. Um, thank you… by the way…"

"For what?" Pein looked down at me as I took a step back, moving out of his personal space. "There's no need for me to treat you two any differently than the other members. Just don't make me regret this choice." I flushed slightly at the passive-aggressive threat and simply nodded. "Good."

Before I could do anything he had moved around me and was already walking down the hall, leaving me standing there. I shivered and brushed some white and black strands out of my face before heading back down the hall. He sure is a scary man, I wonder if he really did used to be a sweet kid. As I walked into the living room I smiled slightly at the sight of a passed out Bre. She sure looks tired. I should start dinner, she'll probably want something to eat after she wakes up. Walking past her I headed to the kitchen, glancing in first to make sure it was empty.

Satisfied that no one else was there I walked over and pulled open the fridge, shocked to find it fully stocked. "Huh… someone went shopping…" Shrugging it off I grabbed the meat left in the fridge, what appeared to be venison, and some vegetables before pulling out everything else to cook it. I kept an eye on the doorways as I cooked and actually noticed this time when someone walked in. "Hey Kisame."

"Hey Squirt." Kisame walked behind me, ruffling my hair and I swatted up at his hand. "What you cooking?"

"Uh, deer I think. At least I hope… Can you set the table again?" I looked over to see him already pulling out the dishes and laughed. "Is this just going to become a habit?"

"Who knows. I sure could get used to having my meals cooked for me. And besides setting the table isn't the worst payment I've had for food." When he was done he pulled up a chair beside me and watched me cook. "So you really seem to know what your doing in the kitchen."

"Yeah, I cooked a lot at home. I mean my Dad cooked as well but besides him I was basically the only other one who did since my Mom was way too lazy. What about you?"

"Eh, I know how to cook for myself, not to say it's nearly as good but it is better than some of the other guys. I hear Konan cooks really well."

"She seems like she would…" I shrugged and walked over to the table, carrying the food with me and putting it onto plates. "Where is everyone?"

"Most went on missions." Just as Kisame walked behind me with the sides Hidan and Kakuzu came in, yelling loudly at each other, an exhausted Bre behind them and Itachi slinking in behind her. I shrugged and put some of the sides on Bre's and my plate, as she plopped down beside me.

"Hey sleepy head." I received a tired grunt from her and chuckled before starting to eat. Once we were all done I cleaned and put away the dishes and leftovers as Bre tried to keep from dozing off behind me. As soon as everything was put away I took her to our room where she promptly took a shower. Sitting in the chair by the bookshelf I continued to read the book I had started, my feet propped up on my bed. A little while latter a much cleaner and happier Bre came out wearing clean clothes.

"What you reading?" She jumped up onto the bed and shuffled over to the edge I was near, looking very curiously at the books and scrolls on our shelf. She grabbed one labeled gin-jutsu and sat back to read it.

"A book about the basics of Tai-Chi. It's pretty cool actually."

"That's cool." Looking back over my shoulder I saw that she was already absorbed in the book she had grabbed and rolled my eyes before going back to my own.
