XxXxxXxXx

It had been two weeks since Hinata came to live at this place. Slowly, the members of the household got use to her. It took different lengths for each one, and sometimes they would complete shut her out, but it was okay. They were nice to her. It was like living in heaven. They would all have breakfast together each morning, and supper together at night. Not only that, but they would talk to her. Sometimes, they would bring her little gifts. Zetsu would often bring her flowers, and Deidara little sculptures. She lined each of the gifts up on her window sill. It was her precious belongings, every morning she woke up she would kiss them and shine them. She made sure to hang the flowers Zetsu gave her, so when they wilted she would still be able to keep them. The other members sometimes ignored her, but every once in a while she would find little knickknacks on her bed. Each one of them was rather unique, so it wasn't too hard to decipher who got her what.

She made her way down to breakfast, she could already hear them yelling about the food and fighting. Soon as she stepped into the room, it quieted down, instead they simply glared at spat words at each other. She made her way to her seat, it was in-between Itachi and Kisame. While everybody else fought over their food, they always seemed to prepare a plate especially for her. She quietly ate as everybody else fought over the last pieces of bacon. She watched them blankly, thinking back to how they slowly warmed up to her.

Pein was different, he was always so tense around her, like he didn't know what to make of her. But after a while he warmed up to her presence, and nodded to her when they met eyes, or seen each other in the hall. It progressed to where he would sometimes look for her, just to check up on her. Once, he hugged her when he found her huddled up in a closet, because Hidan and Tobi sounded like they were about to full out brawl. After that, there seemed to be less fighting amongst the boys, and Pein seemed to seek her out more often. Whenever she looked at him his lips would ever so slightly tilt up, and his eyes would warm. She liked him, although he was a bit scary at times.

Konan... Konan was cold at first, but slowly started seeking Hinata out. Thus, Hinata became Konan's and Kimi's doll. Though their make-over sessions only lasted minutes before Hinata would scrub it all off. The most interesting thing she found out though, was that Konan and Pein were actually siblings, despite their different looks. It seemed they had different dads.

Kisame was kind to her, he always hugged her when they met in the hall, or waved greetings when he was busy. He always seemed to hover over her when she was doing something, as if to make sure she was fine. There was one time she almost dumped boiling water on herself, but he grabbed the pot barehanded and tossed it across the kitchen, almost hitting Hidan in the proses. He still had bandages on from the burns.

Itachi, he was intimidating but was secretly very kind. One day, she spotted him outside holding a stray kitten in his arms. When he noticed she was looking at him, he briskly turned and walked away. Every once in a while she would catch him looking at her with his beautiful red eyes, his expression blank. He was a hard one to read.

Deidara was always touchy with her, always hugging her or trying to snuggle her. She allowed it only sometimes, when she was feeling brave. If anything, his constant contact with her made her get use to the whole touching thing. Slowly, she was allowing his cuddles more and more often. She was already use to him having his arm around her, and holding his hand. Sometimes the other boys would get jealous, and ask to hold her hand too.

Sasori had a mutual agreement with her, one of silence. She sought him out when she needed silence, and he sought her when he wanted a human companion. Otherwise Sasori would be found with Deidara, arguing over little things or in workshop making dolls.
