What the...?

Glancing down, I hesitatingly reach into my pocket and clasp my hand around whatever it is that's making that strange noise. Retrieving my hand and said object from the pocket of my shorts, I unclench my fist and reveal the item in my hand. It appears to be prayer beads, but the religious symbol has been replaced. The tiny red and white fan stands out from the sapphire beads quite nicely, which earns a half smile and a raised brow from me.

"When did that whelp manage to slip this neat little thing into my pocket?" I ask out-loud, even though I'm alone.

Mentally debating whether or not to melt it with my fire style, I hear a twig snap and my head jerks in the direction of the sound. Absentmindedly, I pull the necklace on over my head and pay it no mind as the Uchiha crest rests by my breasts. Flashing some hand signs, I send a shadow doppelgänger out to investigate and I hide behind a tree to watch.

Of course, that's when a hand sneaks out of nowhere and covers my mouth. Squealing like a pig, I feel my head pulled turned and I see who it is who's found me.

"Hello, little jinchûriki."

I glare.

"My name's Hidan and I have a proposition for you," he smirks.

I arch a brow.

"Marry me, have my children, and give me your power."

I give him an or what? look.

"Or, I'll kill your entire village."

He pulls me closer, replacing his hand with a rag which he ties behind my head. I gulp, not sure what to do. My jutsu would let me escape, but he said he'd kill everyone in Konohagakure if I refused. The kitten at my feet hisses, her back arching and her claws extending.

"The cat demon attracted a kitten. Cute," his voice is monotone.

[Me: "Hey... Thirteen Tails, any clue what to do?"]

[Thirteen Tails: "Thirteen Strike?"]

[Me: "That's what I was thinking... But our late Third Hokage made me promise not to use it unless it's a dire emergency..."]

[TT: "Would we be talking if it weren't?"]

[Me: "How is this dire?"]

[TT: "Marry him and spread evil, or have an entire village slaughtered. How isn't this dire? On teenage human scales, at least.]

"I'm gonna assume you're thinking about my offer?"

I nod, not actually lying.

"She's taken, Hidan."

Confused, the rouge and I meet the red eyes of Sasuke Uchiha. A large part of me is sincerely wondering if he's stalking me, but there's a small part of my mind that's thankful that somebody showed up to whoop Hidan's over muscly arse. The necklace warms against my chilly skin, though I decide to ignore it. The males exchange death glares before Sasuke pointedly nods towards me. The larger of the two men reaches down my blouse and yanks free my new accessory. Glaring at it for a moment or two, Hidan fishes his hand back into my shirt and drops the jewelry against my skin.

"This isn't over," Hidan glares.

"Of course it isn't. You need to get that gag outta her mouth," Sasuke glares harder.

"She can do that herself! Her hands are free," Hidan scoffs.

Oh... Yeah... How come I didn't realise that...?

"She tends to over think things, so I'm assuming the dense chit didn't even notice her hands were free, but I'll repeat. Get that gag outta her mouth, since it's your fault that it's there in the first place," Sasuke scoffs louder.

I kick Hidan where the moon doesn't shine, grab my kitty, and jog to the unwanted Uchiha's side. Rolling his eyes, Sasuke undoes my gag and makes it go bye bye with some lightning jutsu. I activate my eyes, glaringly threateningly toward the man who's still in the ground.

"How bad does it hurt to be kicked in that region?" I ask Sasuke.

"Ask him," Sasuke rolls his eyes.

"Yeah... No," I frown.

"Get up and get lost," Sasuke calls out to Hidan.

Hidan's response is a simple groan of pain. I chastise myself for not thinking of it sooner. Sasuke puts his arm around my shoulders and tows me away from the scene, though I'm honestly more interested in watching Hidan writhe in pain than I presently am with talking to Sasuke Uchiha.

"Why aren't you in the village?"

"Nar-kun reminded me that I'm a dangerous threat to peoples' safety, so I decided to travel around the woods."

"Because that's so much safer," Sasuke rolls his eyes.

"It was my intention to avoid any villages and humans. Believe it or not, but I don't want to hurt people," I glare.

"So you left your friends and family behind?"

"Coming from the guy who killed his brother? Oh, and you saw me bury my last relative. I have no family," I remind him.

"Stop bringing that up, and what about Lady Tsunade?"

"Lady Tsunade," I feel my expression slip.

"Knew it," Sasuke smirked.

"Mew!"

"It's okay, Scary Stupid Face is gonna go away now," I scratch behind her ears.

"Grrrrrrlllll!"

"Whuh?"

"Yoru likes me," he smirked and scratched under her chin.

Betrayed by my own kitten... Niiiiice...
