"D!" Tobi announced as the three walked down the road. "Animal! Dog!"

"Vegetable, Daikon."

"What's that?" The masked man tilted his head.

"It's another name for Chinese radish," the red-haired stated.

"Oh. Well, an object in D..."

"DEIDARA!" the two screeched, making the blond turn to look at them at last, an irk mark on his forehead.

"He's not really an object, just a tool," Ushio shrugged, making Deidara grab a pebble and throw at her. She ducked, giving the teenager a flat look. "Rude."

"You! Are insufferable as it is, un." Deidara looked at the masked man that started crying at those words. "And you!" he pointed at the small girl next to the weeping man, "you are making it ten times worse!"

Ushio shrugged, "too bad you have to put up with it."

"I DON'T! I WILL KILL YOU!"

"You can't!" Ushio replied happily.

"Leader never said I can't," Deidara stated with an evil glint in his eyes. He moved closer to Ushio, when Tobi threw himself on him, making him stumble down the hill as the two of them rolled away.

"SENPAI! YOU BROKE MY HEART!"

"AH! TOBI! DEIDARA!" Ushio called out, looking at the duo rolling down. Deidara was screaming at Tobi to let him go, and Tobi was still crying. "Honestly, I am so confused."

Thirty-one hours.

It took Ushio thirty-one hours to reach Ame, including the trip to the Sand, and once there, the ginger leader found her easily, thanks to his rain.

Pein, as Ushio soon learned, was a very talented Shinobi, with one very helpful technique; Rain Tiger at Will. His chakra enchanted rain was able to detect easily anyone moving within Ame.

After a week of helping at the small school in the secretive village, Konan requested her presence at Pein's office. They were regarded as a God and an Angel, and Ushio wondered if the duo was truly as evil as she previously believed them to be.

Maybe their way was wrong, and would bring destruction, but didn't the means justify the end?

"Find Deidara and Tobi. Travel for a short while with them, help them find the Sanbi. Once they do, contact us. You will start bounty hunting until further notice."

And thus, a week later, she was watching a pair of criminals rolling down the hill.

"GET OFF OF ME YOU DAMN MASKED ASSHOLE!" Tobi stepped off, and Ushio peered down, watching as Deidara caught him in a headlock. "CHOKE TO DEATH YOU FUCKING--!"

"DEIDARA! WE NEED TO GET GOING!"

"SENAPI, I WANT TO LIVE!"

Eventually, all three of them were bruised.

Ushio's black cloak was dusty, and the clouded cloaks of the other two were torn at the edges.

"Can I get you anything else?" the waitress asked the odd bunch, making Tobi and Ushio turn to her as she set down their orders.

"No thank you," Ushio smiled nicely.

"Thanks a lot, missie!" Tobi said happily.

Deidara simply nodded at her, looking at his Bakudan. Ushio ordered vegan Gyoza Dumpling while Tobi was happily admiring his okonomiyaki.
