A single drop

hot springs

I was currently a hot spring where Naruto is supposed to be soon. as I waited I looked up at the sky and thought about the moment before I came here. A blush came to my face. Kaakuzu was confusing me. I didn't know if what he said was true or if he was trying to make the mourning of Sassori easier. I was now able to hide the pain easily. don't get me wrong it hurts but I can't dwell on it.

My blush only got worse as I thought about those words. if he was serious then how did I feel in return to his feeling?

I glared as Hidan walked away. I sighed waiting outside the collection office. soon Kakuzu came out looking around and I watched anger come to his face.

"what did that idiot go?" He asked.

I shrugged as I looked into the distance and again sighed. I turned to see Kakuzu looking intently at me. I returned his gaze trying to hide my confusion. He leaned down so his at my hight. I tensed and back up only to hit a wall.

I was corned by Kakuzu. his eyes held seriousness and it made me nervous. his hand grabbed my chin and he made me look up at him.

"you're going to go make contact with the nine tails kid soon right?" He asked.

I nodded and I watched slight worry came over his face. Now I was confused. what reason did Kakuzu have to worry about me?

"be careful ." He said.

I decided to take advantage of this. It wasn't often had the chance to tease Kakuzu.

"oh what's wrong. You worried. who knew you could be so kind. despite all your hearts, you're rather heartless. what's changed?" I asked with a smirk.

His arm snaked around my waist as he pulled me closer. My hands were pressed against his chest as I tried to push away but to no avail. He tilted my chin up and leaned forward so our faces were millimetres apart.

"I have watched you grow up and mature. Never did I think you would mature so much nor did I think I would develop these annoying feelings for you. But when you were younger and confessed to me I did say I would consider it when you were older." He said.

My face went hot and I felt misled become dizzy. This can be happening. I refused to ever feel this again after Kabuto. And I don't even know how I feel about him anymore. But at this moment I couldn't deny my attraction to Kakuzu. Whether it was love or just a spur of the moment thing would be revealed in time.

I didn't know when but his mask was now off and Our lips were about to connect however he pulled away and pulled his mask back up.

"You so go on your mission now." He said.

"Y-yea." I mumbled turning and walking away.

I sighed as a million questions ran through my head. What was I supposed to do? I laid down on a bench and looked up at the sky.

"Why not see what happens. Go with the flow?" Nyuko asked.

"But what if I still have feeling for Kabuto and I just end up leading Kakuzu on." I mumbled.

"You will never find your true feeling if you don't see how you feel. If you think you like Kakuzu then give it a try. Only by seeing how you feel will you find out if you love him or Kabuto." Nyuko said.

I groaned. Why did everything have to become so complicated? I was still mourning Sasori and now this is dropped on me. Plus I have to make friends with the Naruto brat. I swear. I need my dad. He would j ow what to say to help calm my turmoil thoughts.
