"How'd you find me?" I asked, standing beside Kazuku.

Hidan and Kazuku were staring at me with blank expressions, making me wonder all the ways they could've possibly heard of my clan. My clan wasn't considered known, it was a very private clan. We always kept to ourselves, and traded goods with nearby clans.

~Flashback~

"Mommy, me and nee-san are hungry!" My 7 years old self exclaimed, pulling on my mother's kimono. My mother was stunning, especially when she smiled. "Of course dear, I'll make you two sandwiches." She replied, giving a gentle kind smile. Me and my brother sat at the table, drinking our warm jasmine tea. 

I heard a lot of yelling and crashing outside, it was all so sudden and very loud. Which we were never loud, we were ambushed by the Akuhei. The Rei clan is very skilled and uses a spirit power to protect themselves, but with the Kurai shards around us, we are defenseless. "Get into hiding immediately! Go, go, go!" My father screamed, grabbing me and my older brother and dragging us to the hallway's closet. My father lifted the wood up from the floor, and shoving us two in the hiding. He shut the floor on us, and shut the door. I heard running and yelling still, I was scared. My brother had me in his arms, he was tough but since he was older, being 13. He knew what was going on, and he tried his best to keep from crying. 

"Da-Dachi-san, what's happening?" I whimpered, crying from hearing my clan yelling in pain. I hear fighting, yelling, and weapons being clashed against eachother. "Stay calm, Reika. Whatever happens, promise me you'll stay calm." He grabbed my shoulders, shaking me a little to stop me from crying. I nodded furiously, calming myself. "AKEMI!!!" I heard my father yelled, I looked up at my brother. He was in shock, Akemi is our mother. My brother started rustling, pushing me off of him.

"Stay here, don't move. Promise?" He stared at me, with his hand above him, about to lift the floor up. "I promise." I replied, even though I didn't want to be left alone in our hiding spot, I knew I had to stay. I couldn't fight, I would hold them back. "Don't move until I come back." He kisses my forehead, and jumps out of the hiding. I was left alone in the darkness again, nothing but terrible noises I wish I didn't hear. 

~End of Flashback~ 

I cleared my throat from the memory, declining the tears that were about to fall down my cheeks. Hidan watches me carefully, he noticed my uncomfortable state. Kazuku waits, not knowing what to say or do. Kazuku cautiously watches Hidan, not wanting Hidan to do something wrong again on their mission. Which would mean less yen he gets from the mission, a nightmare for Kazuku. 

"Our leader said you'd be near this area, say, it wasn't easy to find you. Let's get moving, Hidan, leave her alone." Kazuku speaks, breaking the silence. Hidan gives me a glare, then a smirk before turning around to continue walking. I hesitiate, but then appear at Hidan's side, walking his pace by his side. Hidan raised an eyebrow, "What the fuck are you doing?" I slide my arms in the kimono sleeves, holding my hands together. Hidan scoffs at my ignorance, and quickens his pace. I do the same to keep his pace, and grinned to myself. 'Race me, Fuchsia!' I yelled in my own mind, then sped up past Hidan. "Oi, bitch!" Hidan chased after me, "You don't know where you're fucking going!" I laughed, "Give me the directions, I'll race you there!" I yelled behind me, jumping through the trees. "Fuck no, you'll follow me!" Hidan cursed, speeding past me, smirking. 

"Idiots, why do I have to deal with this?" Kazuku muttered to himself, then started to catch up to me and Hidan. "Is that an order?" I asked, appearing infront of Hidan's sight again. Hidan smirked, pulling out his scythe from his back. "Let's see how fast you can run, bitch." I took a glance behind me to see him chasing me with his scythe like a maniac. I frowned a little, and began to go at full speed. 

It wasn't long before Hidan lost me, he stopped running, looking around. "Dammit, bitch!" Hidan cursed, looking back at Kazuku. "You lost her, bastard!" Kazuku punched Hidan off the tree branch, muttering colorful words under his breath. 

"I didn't mean to fucking lose her, dammit!" Hidan cursed, staring at Kazuku from the ground.
