I stared at my reflection in the small lake in awe. Shit, I do have it. The lake was very clear with no ripples in it, so I could see my reflection as if I was looking in a mirror. I stared some more at my eyes that now looked just like Pein's. I heard him chuckling, and it snapped me out of my trance. I looked over to him and saw that he had a smirk on his face. "Well, I told you that there was a huge possibility that you had it," He said.

Most of the trees around us were now either chopped up or toppled over, leaving only a tiny bit of it undamaged, and there were multiple patches of grass that had been stripped off of the ground, meaning that is basically the whole scene was in disarray. "I hope that you've made your decision of either joining us or being prisoner, otherwise I would have to default you to the latter, which would be a shameful waste," he said in a monotone voice, his expression changing back to one that was emotionless as well.

I thought for a moment before coming to the obvious conclusion, and replied, "Fine. I'll join your little organization. It's not like being a fake hostage is going to be much better, which is obviously what you would use me for." He hummed in response and said, "You're sharp. That's good, meaning that you'll be able to pick up on things quick. But first thing's first, we've got to remove Shukaku from you. You will still have all of the abilities you have now with him sealed inside of you, but it will take away his nagging presence, bloodlust and reckless impulses." I voiced out loud what I assumed him to be thinking, "Therefore making things all the easier for me. I'm liking this plan more and more."

Pein nodded and started walking back towards the door. "I have heard that you have never had any physical training in your entire life. Is this correct?" He asked. "Yes," I replied while following him, knowing that it would do me no good to lie. "Fine then. I will be a minor mentor for you in that as well as the rinnegan, since this is clearly unacceptable. I advise you practice and train every chance you get, especially in taijutsu." He opened the door and walked in. I followed suit and then closed the door and followed him. He led me to the door that went to the room that I had waked up in and opened it. "You will stay in here until we are prepared to take Shukaku out of you. It may take a while," he added. I nodded and went into the room, which right after he shut the door.

The lamp was still the only light in the room, but I was fine with that. I looked around for a light switch, just in case it was necessary for some reason. I found it near the end of the bed at about the height of my chin and mentally shrugged at the unusual placing. Then again, it's not like there's been anything about today that's not unusual. I paced around for a little while, then got tired of it and just sat on the bed.

I had probably been in there for around half an hour when I heard a loud rampaging knock at the door. I was about to answer, but whoever was at the door had decided that kicking it in was necessary five seconds after they knocked. My right eye twitched in annoyance. At the door, I saw a medium length silver haired man with purple eyes. He wore the same robe that Pein and Konan had on, only he left it open. Around his neck was a Yugakure headband with the symbol scratched out with one line and a Jashin amulet. Also, he had a triple-bladed scythe on his back.

"Hey, bitch! Come on! It's time for the damned ceremony the get that fucking demon out of ya!" he yelled in an obnoxiously loud voice. I simply grunted in reply and got up from the bed. I followed him out of the room and down the hallway. After a few moments, I asked him, "Who are you?" although I wasn't really sure that I wanted to know. He smirked and replied, "The name's Hidan. I assume your Gaara?" I just nodded my head 'yes'. So this is the guy who was yelling in what I assume was him room earlier. He pisses me off already; I'll try and keep away from him unless necessary. "Hm, you don't talk much, do you bitch? Too much like Kakuzu; I hope Pein doesn't assign us to babysit you," he said. Well, then, it looks like we're on the same page. Although I got the vibe that Hidan didn't like me very much, I kept feeling him looking at me strangely. I guess most people would call it 'checking me out', and it was really getting on my nerves. I narrowed my eyes slightly, and, without looking at the man, said in a warning voice, "I would appreciate it if you weren't eyeing me as if I were meat." Out of the corner of my eye I could see his face adorning a slightly pink tint, and glared at me then looked away and said, "Shut up, bitch." My right eye twitched, and I added, "You could also stop calling me 'bitch' while you're at it, seeing as you'll most likely end up dead if you call me that again." He looked amused and annoyed at the same time (if that's even possible) at me and commented, "Damn, you really are like Kakuzu. I bet that you two would get along. Either that, or you fuckers would end up killing each other. Eh, one way or the other, both of you stuck up bitches are fucking annoying."

We had a silent agreement to not say anything else after that, since we clearly didn't like each others company. We rounded a corner and came to a certain door, and Hidan stopped in front of it. "Well, here we are bitch." And so he opened to door and we went into the room in which I would have Shukaku taken out of me.
