Reaching Suna took longer than I thought, with Kakuzu getting distracted left and right by people who held large bounties upon their shoulders. I suppose getting money was a good thing, but at the same time, I was helplessly bored. Once we had gotten to the sand village, we put up henges, making sure to memorize each other's appearances. Deciding to split off, I kept with Kakuzu, who sighed but allowed me to tag along.

"There are supposed to be people here with high bounties. I plan to catch a few of them, as there is a black market dealer nearby." He said, his normal blue eyes scanning the sandy street. I nodded. This was normal to me by now, and tried to remember some of the faces I had attempted to memorize the other day out of the bingo book.

Eventually, Kakuzu pulls me into a nearby restaurant, sitting us down. The waitress came by, accepting our order of tea and some food, before the explanation came. Pulling out a page from his bingo book, he shows me a picture of a tanned, light haired ninja.

"Raikuyo Menai. Is best with Ground and Wind style, but is also capable of Fire style. Has no special ability, but is an old black market salesman who is willing to give away information for money. Due to the black market not wanting its secrets given out, his bounty is quite high. I saw him disappear into an unknown building. We will wait for him to leave, and we will follow him." I nodded, smiling at the waitress who came by with our food.

Our food was eaten quickly, and we eventually were just sitting there, staring out the window. Our silence wasn't awkward. It wasn't weird. It was quite comfortable, and Kakuzu seemed to realize this, sighing contently. I smiled at him, and he gave a small smirk in return.

Raikuyo eventually left, and we followed him, making sure to stick with the surrounding crowds. Seemingly unknowing of our location, he took a left, leading down a winding road. We were in a less populated area, before he turned around, speaking to empty air.

"Did you really think I didn't know you were there?" He asks, acting cocky. Kakuzu sighs, before stepping out from behind the corner. I join him, and we remove our henges. He doesn't seem surprised, his eyes just narrow.

"Kakuzu of the Akatsuki. How many deals have we made, hm?" He says, taunting my stitched friend. "And now you're here to kill me. Ironic, isn't it? He chuckles, eyeing me up and down, before looking back at Kakuzu. "But I won't let you kill me." His tone darkens, and Kakuzu jumps back, dragging me with him.

I give him a look as if he was insane, before I notice the trap that was under the earth, with it slithering its way to where we were, before disappearing.

"Stay on your toes." Kakuzu finished, before dashing forward, making seals and attaching the enemy. Standing there, I kinda shuffle back and forth, not knowing what to do, before I noticed the enemies gathering.

"Uh, Kakuzu?" I ask, growing more and more alarmed. "We have received a crowd.." I trail off, joining the fight, aiming a fist at Raikuyo. He dodges it, before getting hit by Kakuzu. I smirk, but Raikuyo jumps away, leaving us in the center of a large group of shinobi. Kakuzu and I go back to back, eyes narrowing, and I active my sword seal, grabbing it as it appeared.

Suddenly, a man jumps next to us, before lunging at the nearest nin and attacking. Taken by surprise, me and Kakuzu join him, slicing at any ninja we could get to.

"While you fuckers were on a date, I was getting information!" Hidan shouts, waving a manilla envelope at us. I roll my eyes and blush, glancing at the stitched man beside me. He didn't seem to pay attention to the silver-haired idiot.

Throughout the fighting, I didn't notice two bodies hit the floor until I was pushed into the center of the crowd, falling on top of Hidan. Shocked, I jump up, whipping around. There were too many shinobi around me. Panicking, I start to stammer.

"Guys..look..I have space issues, so you would kinda wanna back up..." I say, my eyes flashing around. Some laughed, before Raikuyo stepped forward, circling me.

"What a beautiful girl..you would be so pretty to ruin." He said. My eyes widen. I know what he meant by that.

"No.." I tremble. "Not again.." I reach for me arm slowly, touching and activating a seal. Suddenly, something snapped inside of me. "Not again!" I scream, pushing chakra into my hands. "Almighty Push!" Pushing my hands outwards, releasing a boom of chakra, sending the surrounding men flying. I fall to my knees, deactivating my seal.

"Ah, fuck. What the hell..?" Hidan comes to his senses first, jolting upwards when he saw me. "What happened?" He asked. Then he remembered. "Shit...so that Genjutsu..wasn't a Genjutsu?" I nodded, and he reached a hand out, before letting it drop.

Waking Kakuzu up was easy, and we started back home. Before we left the gates, I told them to stop, and to wait there. Running back to where we just were, I picked up Raikuyo, dragging him back to my zombie brothers. Kakuzu's eyes when he saw my prisoner was filled with something that could be filled with gratitude, before taking him, and starting our adventure home.

Hey guys! So, some more backstory is revealed! Haha, anyway, I really enjoy writing this, so please review if you enjoy reading this!

Also, If you want Kiernan to be paired with a different character, let me know! I'm also doing little 'fluff' (Is that what it's called?) moments with other characters, so let me know if there are any characters you want me to do that with.

Have a good day, and please review!
