Chapter 7 ~ Be My Friend

Hey! I'm back, and I bring another chapter with me! Enjoy, my amazing readers!

*****************

Kakuzu cursed under his breath. Why do I need to watch the darned kid? He could have been sent on a mission. He could have been out killing people... but noooooo, of course, he was blessed with the task of watching over a little girl.

"Pathetic," he spat out.

"That's offensive, you know," a voice said. His eyes swiveled over to look at the girl. She smiled and stuck her hand out. "I'm Rin!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The setting sun blazed, and a shadow cascaded in front of Rin. She gazed out after Kakuzu. He's an interesting one, isn't he, that Kakuzu? She smiled. I hope I was able to crack his wall, if only just a little bit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kakuzu leaned against the wall beside his room, gripping his head. He sighed.

Did I really just let a little kid get through to me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ringed eyes scanned over papers that were continually stacking up. Setting guards to watch that girl is taking its toll on us.

Time seemed to freeze.

Pein's eyes widened for a fraction of a moment.

No way. I didn't.

He furiously scanned his papers again for a loophole in his observations.

No.

Unfortunately for him, there was none.

Darn it.

The Akatsuki leader buried his head in his hands, cursing his idiocy.

I just sent all of my members out for missions.

"Ahhh," Pein muttered in defeat.

I am god, he reminded himself. I. Am. God.

"And 'god' is a nut head!" Rin exclaimed, complete with air quotations. "You've finally done it! Sent all of them out on missions, didn't you?" Pein shot her a withering glare. In return, the little medic only laughed.

"You suck," he muttered, turning red. She pouted.

"Hey, don't look at it like it's such a bad thing! Hanging out with me isn't all that bad..." A doubtful look headed Rin's way. She puffed her cheeks out indignantly . "Well, at least..." Pein paused in his rant about godliness to watch her curiously.

"What?" he asked monotonously, shielding his inner curiosity.

"...I had fun with them," she murmured quietly. A quiet "humph" was heard from Pein.

"I cannot imagine. They are more of nut heads than I can ever be." A small, tinkering laugh emitted from the girl in front of him.

"Oh yeah! I promised to tell you how I got to Sasori last time, right?"

"I see you remembered."

"Of course! I'm sorry I couldn't tell you earlier than this... Sasori's condition stabilized, so I couldn't stay out there any longer."

"You intrigue me. How did this happen?"

"Well, here goes..."
