Olivia and Kamryn had packed lightly, right after Konan supplied them with bags, like Konan had said to do. That left them the rest of the day to say their goodbyes to the Akatsuki members, those that they were friendly with anyways.
They had had a pretty rough start to their morning, but the rest of the day looked like it would go smooth for the two.
The two girls sat around in the kitchen, chatting with one another about the mission and sipping tea, until Kisame walked in. Kamryn sat her cup down gently, still a little embarrassed about this morning's happenings, and cast her eyes to the ceiling.
"So, I've been told were heading out tomorrow." Kisame said, back turned to them as he fixed his own cup of tea. "Not sure who's going to be helping me take you two, since Itachi is being a baby about it." He chuckled to himself a little.
Both girls shrugged, but Olivia spoke up, "My luck, it'll be Hidan and he'll bug me the entire time." She let out a sigh, taking another sip of her tea. Her headache had finally dissipated and she felt much better now.
Then bounced in Tobi, who was as happy as ever, until he laid eyes on the girls. Then you could almost see the pout he wore behind his mask. "You're leaving Tobi!" He waved his arms around frantically, before squatting down beside the table, hands on the edge of the table, and hiding half of his masked face. "Tobi is sad."
Kamryn actually smiled, she had gotten along with the strange man a lot better after his weird crush had disappeared. She lay a gentle hand on his head, "It'll be alright Tobi, we'll see you again soon, I'm sure."
Olivia, however, was still a little skeptical of the man child, not trusting him to not do something freaky.
"Tobi will miss you so much." Tobi's voice wavered, as if he were about to cry. Then he stood quickly. "Tobi has something in his eye, Tobi needs to go get it out." He ran out of the room, hands going up to his masked face.
Kisame just rolled his eyes and sat down at the table, thinking of how annoying Tobi could be.
"Well, you two ready to go tomorrow?" Kisame asked, sipping on his tea.
"Nope," Olivia answered honestly, letting out another sigh.
Kamryn still having her eyes cast away from Kisame took a few sips of her tea as they sat in silence.
Olivia, sensing something between the two, suddenly stood from her chair. "I have to go to the bathroom." She announced to the two, quickly leaving the room.
Kamryn started to stop her, but stopped herself from speaking, casting her eyes down at her almost empty tea cup.
"So…" Kisame started, not sure if he should bring this morning up or not, "this morning was interesting… Seems both you and Olivia had unwanted sleeping partners."
Kamryn just nodded slowly, her face heating up a little bit at the mention of it.
They sat in silence for a little while, neither touching their tea, and both thinking of what to say next.
After a few silent minutes Kamryn opened her mouth to say something but Kisame beat her to it.
"Look. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable..," he paused, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly, "I mean. I can see why waking up in an unfamiliar bed with someone would be a shock. And I just want to reassure you that nothing happened. I actually don't even think you woke me up when you came in, at least, if you did I have no memory of it."
Kamryn couldn't help the smile from forming on her face, his expression was surprisingly bashful.
"It's okay, it was my fault after all, I crawled into your bed remember? Besides it was stupid to think we would have done anything, and I trust you." Kamryn cleared her throat a bit and brought her teacup up to her face to try to hide the light blush she felt spreading on her cheeks.
She was thoroughly embarrassed about the way she acted this morning. And last night.
Kisame looked at her with a mix of confusion and slight offense look on his face, causing her to stammer a bit.
"N-not that it is an impossible situation or to say anything bad about you! I just mean... I had clothes on and… and it didn't feel like anything had happened and..," She trailed off with a blush. A blush that only deepened as she noticed his expression had shifted to one of amusement.
He smirked and leaned in close, looking at her with a glint in his eyes.
"Trust me, you would know if anything happened…"
Kamryn couldn't help but let out a shy laugh at his words, her face blazing red. They sat somewhat tensely for the next few moments before Olivia poked her head back into the kitchen, gauging the situation to see if it was safe to return.
She shrunk back in and into her chair, taking her cup of cooling tea and sipping it gently.
All was still quiet, except for the occasional sips of tea, and the girls exchanged looks, Olivia raising a brow at Kamryn, who just blinked back at her friend.
Kisame observed the twos silent interaction, feeling it was his turn to get up and leave for the moment.
"Well, I'll see you two bright and early tomorrow!" He stood, stretching out his muscles as he did so, letting out a small 'oof' as his muscles relaxed.
"See ya." Kamryn gave a small smile up to the shark man, while Olivia just nodded at him.
"So?" Olivia asked once she was sure Kisame was out of earshot.
"So what?" Kamryn replied, pretending to not know what her friend wanted to know.
"What did you guys talk about? It was awfully tense in here before." Olivia smiled, wiggling a brow at her friend.
"Ugh..." Kamryn let out, "we just talked about this morning is all."
"About me and Hidan?" Olivia questioned, more confused now.
"No you idiot..." Kamryn hid behind her tea cup, "what happened between me and him. Me waking up in his bed."
Olivia made an 'O' face. "Wait, what happened?!"
"Nothing!" Kamryn slammed her cup down on the table, "just the same thing that happened with you and Hidan. Just a drunken misunderstanding." Kamryn huffed.
"Oh." A grin grew on Olivia's face, "well, don't sound so disappointed. There will be plenty of other times for you to wake up in Kisame's bed, I'm sure of it." She let out a giggle.
Kamryn reached over and flicked her friend on the arm, her face tinting a rose color as she did so. "Not funny."
Olivia rubbed her arm. "Well, I thought so." She stuck a tongue out at her older friend.
"Well, I could say the same about you and Hidan." Kamryn snorted, a smirk appearing on her face.
"What about me and this brat?" The all too familiar voice of the white haired Akatsuki member chimed in. Olivia's face instantly turned a bright red and she made sure to keep her face turned away from the man, and toward Kamryn.
"Nothing!" Olivia piped out. She occupied herself with sipping gently at her tea cup.
"Yeah yeah..." Hidan walked the rest of the way into the kitchen, busying himself at the counter fixing a sandwich.
The same tense air that Olivia felt earlier, Kamryn was feeling now, but she thought twice about leaving the two alone.
"So, Hidan," Kamryn began, "Do youhave any idea who is going to be accompanying us tomorrow?"
Hidan turned to look over his shoulder, "Did Konan not tell you?" He let out a heavy sigh. "I've been stuck helping Kisame babysit you two for your journey."
Olivia's face hit the table, "Of course," she grumbled out, causing Kamryn to let out a small laugh.
Hidan rolled his eyes at the over dramatic girl, "Oh you know you like that you get to spend more time with me, admit it."
Olivia's face was heated again, and she turned to glare at the man behind her. He just gave her a toothy grin and a wink, causing her to grimace even more, and stick her tongue out at him.
Kamryn watched, amused. After noticing the tense air had slightly dissipated, she decided that it should be safe to pull an Olivia and bolt. Plus she wanted to talk to Kisame again now that her head was a bit clearer.
"Oh! I forgot to pack something!" She said hopping up, smiling as she waved at Olivia and walked out of the room quickly, "Later!"
Once out of earshot of the kitchen, Kamryn sighed before going off to Kisame's room.
Back in the kitchen Olivia was glaring at the seat her supposed best friend had been sitting in. After a minute of glaring someone sat in the sit causing Olivia's glare to move up to meet their face.
"Why do you need to sit next to me?"
Grumbling she turned her glare away from Hidan to her almost empty tea cup.
Without even looking at her Hidan bit into his sandwich, "Because that fucking chair never did anything to you, I'm saving it."
She huffed at him, glaring harder at her tea cup before sighing, a thousand things racing through her mind.
"Sorry"
Hidan turned to look at her, a bit surprised. "What?"
"Sorry. I… I kinda remember what happened… I did ask you to stay, even though I thought you were Kamryn. So, I'm sorry for the fuss I made." Her gaze on the cup softening as she messed with the tiny thing.
Slowly, Olivia turned to face him, she could have sworn she saw a blush on his cheeks but he got up quickly and walked over to the sink with his now empty plate, his back to her.
A curious question popped into her mind, one she hadn't thought of until now. She got up, walking over to stand behind him. She needed an answer.
"Hidan...? Why did you stay with me?" She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt impatiently waiting for a response.
Kamryn stood in front of Kisame's door for a minute before taking a deep breath and knocking softly, half hoping he wouldn't hear. But of course that would be a stupid hope considering whose door she was knocking on.
The door opened a second later to reveal a shirtless and damp Kisame towel drying his hair. He looked a bit surprised to see her but opened the door wider and moved to let her in wordlessly.
She quickly averted her gaze and walked in, hoping her face wasn't as red as it felt.
Kisame closed the door and moved to sit on his bed, looking at her expectantly, "Did you need something, Kamryn?"
She tried to ignore how much she liked the sound of him saying her name and just kept her gaze on the floor, her nerves getting to her a bit.
"I didn't like the way that ended, it didn't quite go as planned. "
Kisame sighed and scratched the back of his head lightly, "Look, Kam, it's fine really..."
"No it isn't, I need you to know that I'm not mad and that I'm really sorry. I know I was rude and I was hurtful even though it was all my fault."
"It'd be easier to believe you if you could look at me"
She looked up quickly, meeting his eyes and blushing, "I'm sorry, really I am"
Kisame stared at her for a second, neither breaking eye contact for a long moment, until Kamryn finally couldn't help but look away, his stare seemed so intense.
Once she looked away she heard him get up and walk towards her. She could feel him standing in front of her, his gaze still on her.
Slowly looking back towards him, her eyes meet his bare chest. Her eyes quickly shoot up to his face, she hadn't realized he was so close, and now she was sure her cheeks were on fire.
Kisame leant down slowly, his face only few inches away from hers.
His hand moved to her cheek, his thumb stroking her flushed skin softly.
"I know you're sorry, I forgive you."
With that he closed the gap between them, pressing his lips to hers in a surprisingly gentle kiss.
The completely unexpected kiss made Kamryn's eyes widen in surprise, before slowly fluttering closed. She finally realized how much she had secretly wanted this, and eagerly returned the kiss. Her hands moving to lay gently on his bare shoulders.
After what felt like centuries, Kisame finally broke the kiss, staring down at her with foggy eyes. Kamryn couldn't help but have a grin on her blushing face, which made Kisame let out a small chuckle.
"You're too cute, you know that?" He grinned back down at her, right before leaning in for another long, albeit more headed, kiss.
"Hidan?"
Olivia stared at his back, he still hadn't turned around or answered her.
"Fuck..." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, messing it up slightly.
He turned around and stared down at her, "fuck if I know, okay?"
She huffed at him, grimacing, "you don't have to be such an ass, it was just a simple question"
As she glared up at him she noticed a flash in his eyes that made her skin break out in goosebumps. He started walking towards her, backing her up to the wall. Hidan trapped her by putting his hands on the wall on either side of her.
"H-Hidan... what the hell are you doing!" Olivia tried to make her voice strong and firm but failed as she stuttered, feeling extremely nervous. He was so close, which scared and excited her all at the same time. Her eyes fluttered down to his mouth, her mind going to a place it shouldn't. She chewed nervously on her bottom lip, forcing her eye back up to meet his fiery ones.
"You fucking frustrate the shit out of me, ya know? But I'll be damned if you aren't the hottest when you're mad. I don't think I've ever wanted to hear a woman bitch or curse at me so much before..."
Before she could say anything in response his hand moved to tilt her chin up and he had moved in, giving her a quick burning kiss that melted the goosebumps away, and what felt like her brain.
He pulled back quickly, however, which caused a small noise of frustration to release from her throat. There were butterflies in her stomach, and now, all she wanted was another kiss from the bastard in front of her.
"Hidan…" She managed to get out softly, her tongue darting out to lick her lips. She gathered all the courage she could muster, "I-if you're gonna kiss me, do it right at least."
Her hands shot up to his shoulders, pulling him down slightly as she stood on her tip toes, she pressed her lips firmly against his in a heated kiss, her eyes fluttering closed and all her cares in the world melting away.
He responded just as feverishly, leaning into her and pressing her back against the wall. A small noise escaped Olivia's lips as he did so, surprising the both of them. She broke the kiss this time, after a long while, both panting for air, and staring each other down with lidded eyes.
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, letting out a sigh as his arms circles around her waist, pulling her completely into him. A quiet "Fuck…" from him was the only words between the two of them for the next few moments.
Impure thoughts ran through her mind as she felt his warm breath on her neck, but that was all interrupted by a chipper voice.
"Guys~" Konan popped her head in the kitchen, much cheerier than usual. Her jaw instantly dropped. "O-oh! Am I interrupting something?" Her hand went to her mouth, stifling a small laugh.
Olivia gasped, pushing Hidan away from her, her face as red as a tomato. "N-no!" She blurted out, not even being able to make eye contact with Konan.
Hidan stumbled backwards, casting a glare at Olivia because of her harsh actions.
"Well," Konan cleared her voice, "in that case, I have good news!" She seemed excited.
"What the hell could be so good that your ass is chipper about it?" Hidan crossed his arms over his chest, obviously annoyed that they were interrupted.
"Well since the girls are leaving tonight, I figured we could throw a little farewell party." Konan clapped her hands in front of her, ignoring the glares from Hidan. "No alcohol or anything, just a fun little night with board games and refreshments."
Olivia tried to push down her embarrassment, finally looking Konan in the eyes. "Sounds fun!" A small smile grew on her face, which now only held a pink tint. "Need any help with anything?" She offered.
"I'm so glad you asked," Konan smiled right back, "I need you two to go get the things on this list." She produced a list from her pants pocket, walked over to Olivia and handed it to her.
"What? Why me too?" Hidan grumbled out.
"Cause what if something happens to our precious Livvy?" Konan gave an innocent smile, "Wouldn't you want to be there to protect her?"
Hidan just grumbled something unintelligible out before speaking up, "fine, fine."
"Good!" Konan smiled, "I'll try to go find the others and inform them."
After a while Kamryn had finally convinced Kisame to get dressed and they decided to just sit around in his room and chat.
The two of them were lying in Kisames bed, Kamryns head resting on Kisames shoulder. They were talking about nothing in particular, when they heard a knock at the door.
"Kisame? You in there?"
They recognized Konan's voice, but before they could separate, the door swung opened revealing a very cheerful Konan.
"Oh good! Kam is here too! Two birds, one stone. We're throwing a farewell party for you and Liv! I need you guys to help set up, okay?" Konan nodded her head, a bright smile on her face.
The two looked at one another, Kamryn's mouth in a grim line, and a blush across her face.
Both were thinking the same thing, why didn't finding them together seem to phase Konan?
As if she read their minds, she let out a giggle. "Oh I walked in on worse earlier. Livvy and Hidan were all over one another. I sent the two off to collect some things."
"What?!" Kamryn's jaw dropped, and she sprung from the bed. "And you let them go off alone together?"
"What?" Konan shrugged, "They're both consenting adults."
Kamryn huffed, "Barely."
Kisame had stood, placing a hand on Kamryn's shoulder. "She's right, ya know? Ya gotta let Liv spread her wings and fly sometime."
"But not with someone like Hidan... I was fine with the innocent flirtations, but he's too dirty." Kamryn shuddered at the thought of her poor innocent friend with the man.
"Anyways..." Konan interrupted, "Lets set everything up."
Kamryn frowned, but followed Konan as she walked out of the door, Kisame close behind.
The trio rummaged through some closets in search of some old board gamed Konan swore were there.
They finally found them, tattered and covered in dust, but still playable.
As Kamryn was getting out cups and plates, she questioned Konan, "Why am I setting up for my own farewell party?"
Konan shrugged, "Can't trust anyone else to do it right."
That answer was good enough for Kamryn and she continued to help set things up.
"Alright." Konan clapped her hands together, "Liv and Hidan should be back soon with the food."
"Yeah, I'm really close to the leader of the Akatsuki, he trusts me a good bit." Hidan boasted to a pretty brown haired girl at the bakery.
Olivia was off chatting with the baker over which cake to pick, but her ears picked up on the flirtatious giggle of the other girl. Her eyes curiously went from the cakes to Hidan, and she let out a huff.
"Whats the matter miss?" The baker noticed the frown on her lips and the slight tint of red to her face.
Olivia quickly plotted how to get back at the white haired man, her eyes scrolling over the baker in front of her, which he noticed. He instantly got a little stiff, he was a man about his mid-thirties, but still young looking.
Olivia got her nicest smile on and leaned over the counter, being sure to position herself in a way to show off her best assets. The eyes of the man in front of her were quickly brought to her chest and a quick smirk flashed over Olivia's face.
"Ya know... you seem as sweet as these cakes." Olivia reached out a hand to touch the mans arm, letting her hand linger a little bit, a finger gently brushing over his exposed bicep.
The man rubbed the back of his head with his other hand, a blush forming on his face, "I bet you're even sweeter."
Olivia giggled, "Ya think so?"
Before he could say something in return, an arm hooked Olivia's.
"We'll take this damn cake." Hidan grumbled, throwing a few bills on the counter and grabbing up a cake. He quickly pulled Olivia out of the bakery.
"What was that for?" She fake pouted, trying her best to suppress her grin. "Jealous?"
Hidan just frowned, looking straight forward and not saying anything for a little bit.
"Hidan?" Olivia raised a brow at the taller man, as he just dragged her along beside him.
"Shut up." His eyes flickered to her for a second, before turning to the road before them.
Olivia blinked, not expecting such a harsh response, but just frowned. "Hey, its not like we're exclusive or anything. You were doing it too."
He mumbled something under his breath, still not looking at her. She just let out a loud huff at him, tired of being dragged around. She jerked her arm from his grasp.
"Don't be such a dick about it, I was just trying to get a reaction out of you." She crossed her arms, stopping in the middle of the dirt road.
"You didn't have to get so damn friendly with him." He turned on his heels, nearly dropping the cake, glaring her down.
"And you didn't have to make up bogus lies to impress that girl." She placed her hands on her hips, a harsh frown on her face.
"Whatever. That's just who the fuck I am." He rolled his eyes at her.
"Is this what being with you would be like?" She huffed out, "one moment of bliss and then another of torment?" She threw her hands up in the air, "just go back to the base, I'll get the rest of the stuff. I don't want to see your face anymore." She quickly stomped off past him towards the take-out restaurant.
Before he could even retort, she was lost in the crowd. He knew he could easily find her, but decided to just forget about it.
Kamryn was surprised when the door opened and only Hidan came through it.
"Where's Liv?" She questioned, her mother hen mode activating and becoming worried instantly.
"Damn bitch started a fight and stormed off."
"And you left her!?" Kamryn's eyes went wide and she turned to Kisame. "Beat him up." She motioned to Hidan.
Kisame just laughed, "She'll be alright, she knows the village well enough by now."
Konan nodded along, "While that was horribly irresponsible of you, Hidan, I'm sure Olivia is fine."
Kamryn just huffed out, "Sure." Going to sit on the couch, to wait nervously for her friends return.
It was about thirty minutes before the door swung open to reveal Olivia with her hands full of bags of take-out.
She was just as surprised to see everyone in the living room as they were to see her.
"Oh, were you waiting on me?" She gently set the bags down, kicking the door closed behind her.
"Where were you?" Kamryn gave her a worried look.
Olivia shrugged, "Hidan started a fight and I didn't want to be around him anymore."
"Whatever..." Hidan grumbled under his breath from his spot leaned up against the entrance to the kitchen.
"See I told you she'd be fine." Konan smiled, "I have faith in you, Liv."
Kisame got up from his seat and got the take-out and brought it to the table in the room. "I'm starving." He grinned as he took out boxes of food.
"Wow you got a lot of good stuff, Liv." He grabbed a pair of chopsticks and started piling rice, noodles, and meats onto his plate. "Oh, and you got the good sushi from Shimizu's place."
Olivia nodded and smiled, "I knew you would like it." She moved to sit on the couch beside Kamryn.
"Wait, wait!" Konan grabbed Kisame's plate just as he was about to stuff his face. "We have to wait on everyone, I'll go get them." She bolted off as she finished her sentence, looking for the remaining members of the Akatsuki.
Kisame sighed, plopping down on the couch on the other side of Kamryn, waiting on the return of his plate.
Tobi was the first to come to the living area, bouncing as usual. "Tobi gonna miss you!" He shouted as he entered the room. He enveloped Kamryn in a hug around her neck from behind the couch. "But I'll see you again, Konan promised!"
"That's good Tobi." Kamryn patted his arm gently, before prying his arms from around her neck.
Olivia leaned as far away from the man as possible, she would miss him the least.
Deidara was next to enter, a sad smile on his face. He placed himself in the couch across from the one Olivia, Kamryn, and Kisame sat on. "Well, isn't this supposed to be a party?" His sad smile never fading, "Hidan," He gestured to an old radio that sat by the entrance to the kitchen, "See if you can get that thing to work."
Hidan rolled his eyes, but went to turn the old thing on anyways. A up beat song started playing on the radio, Hidan was about to change it to something more his style, but Olivia stopped him, "I like this song, don't change it."
To everyone's surprise, Hidan complied, leaving the station playing and moving to sit on the opposite end of the couch Deidara sat at.
Tobi started bouncing around to the beat of the music, lightening the mood by making everyone laugh.
"Kammy!" Tobi exclaimed, reaching for the woman. He pulled her up to her feet, making her jump around with him. She giggled almost uncontrollably, she felt like a kid again.
She freed one of her hands from Tobi's and grabbed Kisame, giving his a bright smile. "Come on!" She pulled him up. He stood there still for a moment, just laughing at the two, before joining them in their silly dance.
"Livvy, you too." Kamryn turned her head to her friend, beckoning her over.
Olivia sighed, it did look like fun. So she pushed herself up and let the music flow through her.
"Oh, looks like the party already started!" Konan smiled, placing Kisame's confiscated plate down, before grabbing Olivia's hand and joining them.
Pein, Kakuzu, and Itachi all had entered with Konan. Pein wore a smirk on his face, "I haven't seen Konan act like this in so long. These girls are truly a blessing." He shook his head at their festivities, letting out a low chuckle.
"This is just a pain..." Itachi turned back around and went back to what he was doing before Konan disturbed him.
Kakuzu shrugged, "free food." He went and started to pile food onto a plate, taking a seat in-between Deidara and Hidan.
Deidara just laughed along with the bunch, not really having the energy to join himself.
Hidan leaned on his elbow, looking away from the group as if he were bored.
Kamryn elbowed Olivia gently. "Go make up with him," she gestured to Hidan.
Olivia stopped and pouted a little, she didn't feel like being the bigger person.
"Livvy, you'll regret it." Kamryn warned. As much as she didn't like Hidan, he made Olivia happy, in some strange way, and she wanted to see her that way.
She huffed, before heading over to the white haired ninja. "Hidan..." She extended a hand to the man sitting before her.
He averted his eyes from the rather interesting spot on the floor to the girl in front of him. "You think I'm going to do that shit?" He rolled his eyes.
Olivia pouted, "Please."
Something in him broke as she stared down at him all pitifully. "ehh... Fuck It." He pushed himself up, grabbing her hand and pulling her over to where the others were.
Olivia let out an excited laugh, a large grin on her face as she was practically swept away.
They all bounced around for quite some time, before settling down on the floor around the table, all out of breath.
"Finally," Kisame grabbed up his plate, shoveling the food into his mouth, causing himself to cough.
"Slow down Kisame!" Kamryn fretted, patting his back gently.
After his little coughing fit, he leaned over and placed a gentle, albeit messy kiss on Kamryn's cheek, leaving a trace of a sticky brown sauce behind. She made a face but smiled up at him and he offered her a piece of his favorite sushi.
"Thank you." She gladly ate it in one bite, her heart fluttering, knowing that it meant something to him to share his food with her.
"Kamryn..." Olivia sat wide eyed, "...when?"
Kamryn just rolled her eyes at her dramatic friend, "Just eat Liv."
Olivia pouted, but decided to take her friends advice and fix herself a plate.
While they were eating, Hidan gently hooked his free pinky with Olivia's under the table. Olivia stiffened at the small gesture, a blush appearing on her face. She peered up at Hidan for a second, who was just eating as if he did nothing.
"Liv? You okay?" Deidara noticed her reddened face, "You haven't been drinking have you?"
Liv shook her head quickly, squeezing Hidan's pinky with her own as she did so. "J-just so much good food!" She rubbed her belly with the hand that held her chopsticks. "I'm overwhemed," she let out a laugh, trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach.
The night ended with Tobi attempting to serenade Kamryn, even though she sat flush against Kisame.
Olivia and Hidan kept doing little things to one another to give the other butterflies, but nothing obvious to those that weren't paying attention.
Deidara kept trying to get emotionally closer to Olivia, only to be pushed away by Hidan. Kakuzu only hung around for the food and Konan ended up falling asleep on Pein's lap, a display of affection that the two rarely showed.
The night was a success in Konan's groggy eyes.
The girls were awoken early the next morning, the sun hadn't even crept over the horizon yet. They both got dressed and gathered up their packs, heading out to the living room of the base.
A few of the members were up to tell them goodbye.
"Tobi will miss you!" The man child ran over to Kamryn, engulfing her in a hug.
Kamryn hesitantly returned the hug, patting the larger man on the back gently.
"Don't worry, we'll see each other again soon enough." She reassured him.
Olivia was more awkwardly shown off by Deidara, he hesitated as he walked closer to her.
"Well..." He started, "Really gonna miss having you around." He reached out a hand placing it on her shoulder, giving her a sad smile.
Olivia blushed, "I'll miss you too Deidara." She gave him a warm, but shy smile.
"Enough with the goodbyes." Hidan tapped his foot impatiently on the ground, walking in-between Deidara and Olivia towards the door to break the two apart. "Not like they're going off to war and never returning or something."
Olivia shot Hidan a glare, but Kamryn was thankful for his words, as Tobi released her upon hearing them.
Tobi sniffled some before running off to his room without another word.
"I'll see you when you get back, Kamryn." Deidara ignored Hidan, shooting Kamryn a smile as he took his hand off of Olivia's shoulder.
"Oh girls!" Konan ran into the room, two large black garments in hand. "Its raining out, I figured you might need these." She handed them both a cloak, similar to that of the Akatsuki's but without the clouds. "You'll need to discard these before you get to the village, but I figured they'd be useful for now."
Both of the girls nodded as the received the cloaks, dropping their packs and donning them. They were nice and warm, and the girls both smiled at Konan.
"Thanks Konan." Kamryn moved to go give the blue haired woman a hug, which she warmly received. "You've been a great host." She gave a small laugh.
As Kamryn moved aside, Olivia also hugged Konan, "You've been great!" She smiled up at the taller woman.
Konan beamed proudly, returning the hugs. "I'll miss you both. It was nice having other women around for a while."
"Well, should we be off?" Kisame gestured to the door he had just opened.
Kamryn nodded and Olivia took a deep breath.
"I suppose so," Kamryn said, heading out the door and into the rain first, pulling her cloak tightly around her.
Olivia followed after her, along with Hidan, and then Kisame.
They headed off into the storm quietly, on their way to Konoha...
A/N:
Sorry for the long wait! We've both been busy with life, and even went a few months without speaking, but were back!
