It's been a long time since I wrote or posted...

it felt good to actually get something done, although things here at my place are hectic as ever. 

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

you were on your way home, back to the base, when the two of you decided to spend the night at a hot spring nearby to relax from that...

excursion...

Kisame:

"if I recall...your grandmother said to not leave you on your own in a hotspring" Kisame teased as the two of you got undressed

"oh shut up. Next time I realize something embaressing is being told, I'm going to rip your ears off!" you grouched pouting

"Oh, right...just after you crawl up here to get them" he laughed with an eye roll

There was a gentle paused for a good few moments as you finished removing your clothing. The two of you just in towels now.

"hey, are you alright after all that?" your blue man asked bending down to you a tad

"after all what???" you blinked a but confused

"about the whole thing with your grandmother" he pushed

"ah that..." you looked away then headed towards the spring

"don't avoid the question...!"

"Kisame, I meant what I said." You confirmed as you stepped into the spring and set your towel on the edge "I'm perfectly fine with choosing you over some stupid old tradition. This blood of mine...it's doomed anyways."

"it's not doomed" he grouched following you into the water

"it is. Regardless of what I chose, there's only really me. So it doesn't matter whom I'm with. The blood of my family either continues by one generation, or it ends with me. So I don't see how being unhappy will do any good. I pick you and I'm happy with you"

Kisame's cheeks steadily grew darker and darker

"so why don't we enjoy our time here?" you grinned grabbing his towel and swimming across the spring as fast as you could cackling like a madman

"(name!) Hey!!!"

Hidan:

"well, that was fucking awful" Hidan griped as you practically threw his clothes at you and dove into the hotspring

"Hidan! Urgh-!" you threw his clothes into the hamper provided and ripped your own off before charging after him "I'M NOT YOUR MAID!"

"just get in here" he called grabbing your anckle and dragging you inside the piping hot water

"ah!!!"

SPLASH!

"HIDAN!"

"good, now you're in here we can have some fun~" the white haired male grinned pulling you close and kissing your neck

"...you...are...are incorrigiable" you grumbled quietly as you became flushed

"you need a pick me up and I need a reward~"

"you need a smack in the head" you grumbled

And yet~

A pick me up and a reward were in order...

Deidara:

"we'll stay here tonight after we relax...sounds good, yeah?" Deidara called from behind you disrobing himself

"mmm" you hummed in agreement facing your own basket as you, yourself, got undressed

Deidara frowned and peeked over his shoulder at you. He stared at your bare back with a worried frown for a few moments before finishing up and grabbing a towel for you both

"you've been really quiet" he said gently reaching around you and wrapping the towel delicately around your form "was there...something you didn't like hearing?"

You leaned back against his body and peeked up at him with your slight frown. It was true, the events that had occurred recently and what your uncle had told you about the clan had given you much to worry about. But you also knew that it was only something that you would dwell on until you were used to it – then it would be second nature to you.

"I'm alright Deidara..." you mumbled to him, your right hand reaching up and patting his cheek gently "let's get into that hot water"

He nodded and gently let go of you

"just a sec, I'm gonna put my hair up – that way it wont get wet, yeah?" he grumbled fumbling with the hair tie

"give me that" you sighed softly with a smile.

Sighing in defeat he dropped the band in your hand and crouched in front of you while you gathered his hair into a bun, even taking his bangs up too.

Well, a few stragglers had escaped...but for once you could see his whole face easily

"look how hot you are with all that hair out of your face~" you cooed then promptly smacked his ass and dove into the spring

"w-w-w-wha-....(NAME!!!!)" screeched the flustered man stumbling behind you

Itachi:

The journey to the hot spring had been mostly silent. Neither you nor Itachi spoke unless referring to directions or necessities, aka 'hey, you hungry? – 'why, yes! I AM hungry' that sorta thing. Now you both stood in the dressing room to the hot spring. Itachi had started to undressed himself but paused after taking off his shirt, realizing you had been frozen staring off into space.

Sighing softly, barely even audible, he made his way to you and gently pulled you close. You didn't move away nor melt into him like you usually did. He could practically feel the stress oozing off your body.

"let me help..." he whispered gently to you grabbing the hem of your shirt

You closed your eyes and leaned back against him, though again, not as much as you normally did.

"I know that whatever information that was transferred from your brother to you is not my business...and I will not pry nor ask you to let me carry that torch with you. For you know I carry one on my own as well..." he began gently as he pulled up your shirt and set it in the basket then began undoing your bottoms

"itachi..."

"shh, just let me finish" he hushed you before continuing to speak "so, if I cannot aid you with that...then lean on me for everything else. I'll take care of you"

"I know" you leaned your head up to look at him.

Your gazes met and Itachi could tell there was so many emotions swirling around behind your eyes that piled stress in immeasurable amounts upon your shoulders.

As soon as you had been stripped of your clothing, Itachi left you only for a moment to grab a towel and gingerly wrap it around your form and secure it. He stared at the 'fasten fold' for a moment before he led you to where one would walk into the spring and let go of your hand.

"go on a head, I'll be right there." He urged gently kissig your temple and giving you a gentle shove forward "let the hot water melt those worries – if only for a little while"

Kakuzu:

"-and I still can't believe you're such a fucking asshole! She was so heavy with child and you were so cruel!" you bitched as you ripped off articles of clothing one by one.

Kakuzu, facing away from you as he undressed, rolled his eyes at you. Of course even after it all you still didn't understand what a great thing he did for you. Thanks to him you were able to unleash all those years of pent up depressing emotions.

Not that you felt that way.

You had bitched and yelled and raved the entire time since you step foot out of your sister's and her husband's home. You knew your grouchy crotchety old bastard of a boyfriend was ...well...old, crotchety and a bastard of a man half the time...BUT you didn't seriously think he'd bitch at your sister!

You paused in your ranting to crouch down and hold your breath.

No.

No crying.

You weren't giving him that satisfaction.

Once again, you were unaware and most likely unwilling to learn how your boyfriend was feeling at the time. So when the several-hearted man noticed you crouch down and huddle in on yourself. He continued to get undressed but did so quicker. He wasn't missing out on his well spent money on this hot spring...but he also didn't want you to sit there and sob like a child for no good reason.

Grabbing your towel after he secured his own around his hips, Kakuzu made his way to you and yanked you up by your pits. Surprised at the act you froze and next moment you knew, your clothes were being tossed into the basket and a towel was dropped on top of your head

"let's go, you wanted to relax somewhere...and I'm not wasting my money. It cost a lot to get the nice room you know" he grumbled the last part as he walked away...

"w-wait what?" you blinked. Did you just hear that right???

"nothing, shut up and get in the tub" Kakuzu yelled sliding into the spring

Sasori:

The parting from your mother was extremely painful. Even to Sasori whom only had to watch the exchange. You had wailed and cried and pouted and screamed. Like a toddler being separated from their parents...

He would say that he shouldn't have expected different...but with being away from her for so long – he honestly didn't think it was going to be as hard and difficult on you as it had been.

Although, it seemed like your mother was relatively alright with the parting – at least in Sasori's eyes. He chalked it up that she was used to the solo-living lifestyle and although missed you dearly, was eager to get back to it. Part of him also hoped that Umezuko had thought he was more than capable of taking care of her precious daughter.

Although with the distain she had for men in general...he was sure that wasn't the case.

"I'm sure you'll feel better once you get undressed and into the spring (name)..." Sasori said to you gently rubbing your back

You had gone into another fit of sobs when you both had entered the change room before the hot spring.

"m-maybe..." you hiccupped

Your face was red and coated in your salty tears, your face burned from the scearing streams left behind in the wake of your grief

"you'll be alright, I swear." He cooed softly as he turned you around for a hug "why don't you wipe your face and I'll help you out of your clothes, alright?"

You sniffed an ungodly sounding amount of muscus before nodding.

Sasori stared at you frozen for a moment

"(name)...that was so gross" he grouched and almost imeadiately you burst into a fit of giggles

Tobi:

"whoooHOOOO!!!! HOT SPRING!~" Tobi screeched ripping his clothes off and rushing towards the door without so much as a towel – although his mask was firmly in place.

"Tobi, your mask" you called after him though stopped and sighed leaning against the wall. It was such a long journey, it felt like an eternity had passed already...

You kept thinking about what Koga had told you...about the night your life as you knew it was erased forever...about your parents...your entire clan. You reached up and grabbed the hair at the nape of your neck...

It was so short back then...you both were so dirty from rushing around...it was years ago – and yet it seemed like it had only just happened yesterday

"-(name)!"

You blinked and looked up, your bewildered face meeting the Orange swirled mask your boyfriend always hid behind. Although it didn't take you long to realize he was only holding it up in front of his face and was not secured on.

"i-I'm sorry" you mumbled softly looking away

"..." Tobi was quiet for a moment before you felt a forehead against your own. Soft but weathered skin pressed against yours and that soft and deeper voice floated into your ears

"I'm here for you, you know. I know my own share of tragedy...I know what it's like to lose so much. I know you miss them. Especially your father"

"b-bu-"

"It was written all over your face..." you could hear the smile in his face.

From this angle you weren't able to get a good view of his features...just like every other time he had the mask off. Always in shadow, the dark or in a way where you cannot focus on it properly

Your hand reached up and caressed his right cheek. Your fingertips settling on the scarred flesh residing on the one you loved most.

"that's an unfair advantage, you know..." you teased softly

Tobi made a snort of a laugh before hugging you tight and burying his face in your hair

"not for all that much longer...let me keep it for now"

Zetsu:

"Is this even such a good idea for you?" you asked worriedly as you stripped your clothes off

"you think the spring will boil us? HA!" his darker half cackled

"she's just worried about us, be more sensitive would you?" the lighter half sighed with a frown "we will be fine..."

"are you suuuuure?" you asked with a brow raised

"mmmm did I mention how good your a-"

"that's really not necessary here..." light zetsu chided effectively cutting off his more crude half before he had a chance to utter the last word

You chuckled softly at him fighting with himself and soon was bare as the day you came into the world

"alright, you two...you can't wear your clothes in" you teased grabbing your towel

"right..."

"too much work, you do it" dark zetsu complained and with a huff his back collided with the wall

"y-you don't have t-" light Zetsu blushed deeply putting his hands up to stop you

"shaddap!"

You shook your head and walked over and began undressing him

"I think I spoil you guys too much..." you said with a jest as you tossed their clothes into the bin "well look at that, you don't even need a towel with your leaves covering you!" you giggled

This time both sides huffed and blushed looking away from your giggling form
