Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Even if that means defying Pein?" asked Zeru in his usual tone. As they walked into his room. "If you can't follow my orders to that measure, then I have no use for you. But of course stay the night here." said Zeru staring coldly at Hana.

"That is a Lie. When I joined him it was on the condition that my village and its allies would be safe, He gave me his word. But lately I have found that he may be planning an attack on it, as well as blaming all the damage the organization has done on the Sun's allies....The Waterfall got what it deserved, shunning all that embraced kekei genkais. But if Pein attacks my village or its allies, then villages such as this one will cease to exist. There will be no neutral nations where opposing factions can exchange who their criminals are." said Zeru as he stared at Hana watching her every action making sure she did not go for a weapon. "I don't want to stop his ideas, but I way a man by his word. And if his word is worthless, then so is he. Killing for the sake of killing is pointless, I kill for the goals I've been given. Even you are not the kind of animal that kills for no reason. Beware, though, some day he may even betray you, for no matter what your reason for joining, he sees you as a way to make his dream possible, not yours." said Zeru still watching Hana's movements.

"If you want a reason for living follow me, if you want a reason worth dieing follow Pein. He's diluted you into thinking your life is worthless, that is untrue. I don't kill women in tears. My village will take you in, if you swear to help them and their sovereignty. I still hold a great standing there, and they appreciate those such as ourselves, those who can control their inner demons." said Zeru as he handed Hana a Sun headband. "If you accept this then you are no longer Pein's, but mine. I shall give you a purpose greater than killing. And I shall show you acceptance, as an equal not a subordinate. Deny it, and that's all you'll be. A toy for Pein, one which he'll eventually throw away. The choice is your's and your's alone." said Zeru closing his eyes.

"Then as you wish," said Zeru as he withdrew the headband, "I do have one last order for you, don't tell Yurei nor Pein of this conversation or this safe-house. I will leave orders with the owner to let you in at anytime, use this place as your own refuge. I will also leave one Sun headband, if you ever change your mind. But hold my words true, always keep an eye on Pein and Yurei. Though I have not seen the person, There is someone above them in the organization. And he is of great power, it would take an alliance of both the Sun and...god help us...the Leaf to defeat. Stay until morning, then search for Yurei, give him these." said Zeru as he gave Hana his Akatsuki Robes, "And remember, I'm keeping an eye on you as well. I don't know if you'll become an ally or an enemy, but I see greatness in you. Don't let Pein destroy that greatness, so follow your heart instead of Pein. That will show you the truth behind the lies." said Zeru as he leaned against a wall starting to fall asleep.

"How sentimental. Those words chocked me up so much, I think I had a luge of snot in my throat eh?" laughed Yurei as he spoke through Hana's conscious mind. "Come on, Hana. Give me some credit, did you not think I would find you both and discover Zeru's true purpose, of course not. But don't worry Hana, you haven't said yes yet, cause if you did I would of killed you 20 minutes ago, it's a good thing you haven't made you're mind, cause not only would have you been dead, but dear old Zeru as well. But i'm under orders, So I can't kill Zeru as he is now, apparently to my knowledge he is doing what we want him to do, he may think he has the upper hand on us, but really he is doing what we expected of him."
"But do not worry, Hana. Pein is not going to waste you, if not trust his word, then trust mine. I will always protect you, cause for you in a way you are special to me, but don't let it get to you're head. In any case you're probably wondering if he can hear this conversation now, he won't believe me. In any case to look for me I'm in a safe-house down the road, you can find me there. In the meantime you work for me and think of Zeru as he never existed, more like if he was dead to you. As for the information of the conversation you had with him, don't worry I wrote this down and it's making a lovely report indeed, wait till Madara reads this." Yurei laughed as he laugh slightly echoed in her head.
The laughing now dying down, sighing slightly "Ahhh, brings a tear to my eye. Now listen closely as of what Zeru said about keeping watch over you not possible, since I have other agents watching him everywhere. I more information on him then his own village has, but i'm not of the sharing type at the moment, besides this is all about you now."
"As of what Zeru told you is not true, you may not be Pein's equal, but you mine and that's good enough for me. I know this sounds unprofessional, but I really do have this thing for you, though compared to most women in this world you hold something that they could never have and that is you're eyes and smile....it almost reminds me of her....."
Suddenly clears his throat, "Uhhh excuse me....now where was I? Ahh yes, down to the point of this just conversation. You're new orders are to come with me, Zeru won't find where we're going, in fact not even Madara could ever find us. So for now sleep and find me tomorrow and as for that Sun headband in front of you, toss it in his arrogant sleeping face for me, by the way I love that kimono you're wearing, very sexy indeed. It makes you're breasts look so big." laughed Yurei as his voice faded away from her mind, leaving her alone in the quiet room.

"He contacted you, huh? Guess it can't be helped. By the way, wave at the man in the tree three blocks away. That man is one of Yurei's puppets. Learn well, Yurei was once the Tsukikage and an Ally of my village. But he has betrayed both his allies and his people. Just keep that in mind," said Zeru as he fell deeper into sleep.

Hana stopped in her foot steps. She began to wonder what Pein may have gotten her into her. "Come on Kina." She said in a soft voice as the kitsune followed hearing it with her ears. She slowly made her way towards the bedroom and closed the door behind her in her room.
