My First Romance ~Pein Love Story~ Chapter 18

“Pein…” You began. “Hahaha good question.”

“Awh c’mon Saffron-chan, you know he’s not that bad.” Sasori noted.

“Uhm hello?” Who are we talking about here?” Uki cut in.

“Pein. The man I fell in love with.” You admitted not willing to hide it from anyone anymore, except for Pein.

“Awh how cute! How long have you all been together?” Uki asked.

“Haha, if only…” You started. “I fell in love with Pein when I first saw him. A little thing you’d like to call love at first sight. I never believed in any of that stuff anyway, so I don’t know what happened…” You trailed off. “Anyway we went through a lot my first couple of days; I was completely immature and did some things I’m definitely not proud of. I know that if I wouldn’t have done them then me and Pein would have probably gotten off to a way better start.”

“What did you do?” Uki asked.

“I’m not willing to say it out loud and in public, but I tried to run away, which that didn’t work out to well because Pein found me and brought me back to base. I woke up and we had a little argument but we worked it out.”

“How?” Uki was apparently fond of asking questions.

“He admitted his feelings, and the way he felt towards me, but not in the ‘I love you’ way. Ever since then we’ve been getting along great and I really hope it stays that way, and I pray I don’t mess anything up. For some reason I feel like I need him.” You finished.

“Awh, how sweet.” Zetsu’s black side said sarcastically.

“It’s a girl thing, you wouldn’t understand.” Ukisaki cut in for you.

“I understand.” Sasori said.

“Hahaha, sure.” Uki said completely unaware of his and Konan’s wonderful relationship.

“I do. I’ve been in a relationship with Konan, another girl in our organization, for quite some time now, and I’m happy, for once. She told me everything, how she started to grow feelings for me the moment we became partners, and how the whole girl thing goes.” Sasori added.

You and Uki were shocked that a boy could feel like that but not think its boring or a waste of time at the same time. You really respected Sasori.

“Well I have no idea.” Zetsu interrupted. “I don’t have a lover.” He added.

“Awh! You’ll find one someday!” You said trying to cheer him up, the thing was he wasn’t down.

“No! I don’t want one. I’m perfectly content with how I am. Beside’s even if I did find a lover I’d probably eat her.” Zetsu added with a small smirk.

“What?” Uki asked eyes wide.

Everyone laughed.

“Haha Zetsu’s a cannibal, but don’t worry he’s not aloud to eat anyone in the organization or he’ll get killed by Pein-sama.” You told her.

“Oh.” Uki said.

“Yeah.” You agreed.

“Oh, one more thing Uki.” Sasori cut in.

“Yes?”

“Only Saffron-chan is allowed to call Leader-sama by his name. For everyone else, like you, me, and Zetsu, we refer to him as Leader-sama, understand?” Sasori questioned.

“Hai!” She nodded in agreement.

On the way back you ran into a little trouble. Hidden Leaf ninja’s. Though not one of them recognized you, thankfully. You fought them off with ease, only killing two. You tried your hardest not to kill your old companions. Luckily you didn’t have to, Sasori and Uki took care of them. You finally witnessed some of Uki’s fighting skills and you were impressed. Once you were finished with fighting the ninja’s of the Hidden Leaf Village you headed back to base. When you finally arrived Sasori and Zetsu did multiple hand signs and the huge bolder blocking the door lifted up letting the four of you enter. You walked into base and walked to the main area where everyone was focused on the T.V screen. It was your turn to introduce Uki to the rest of the gang.

“Okay Ukisaki, you ready to meet the rest of the crew?” You asked her.

She nodded her head profusely.

“Oh yes. Especially this Hidan character.” She added.

“Haha alright well then let’s go.” You said as you and Uki walked into the main room. All eyes locked on Uki. You noticed Uki blush when Itachi looked at her. You leaned over and whispered into her ear.

“That’s Itachi Uchiha; he has that effect on all the women. He did the same to me.” You said.

“Oh well which one is Hidan?” She asked obviously really wanting to meet Hidan.

“I’ll get to him.” You whispered back.

All eyes were locked on the two of you, watching you mumble into each others ears. Finally you spoke up.

“Okay everyone, this is Ukisaki, but you can call her Uki for short, understood?” You asked.

You got a couple of nods, and ‘yeahs’ in return.

“Okay so Uki, I’m gonna start from the same side of the room that Deidara did.”

“Now starting from over here, this is Uchiha Itachi.” You said.

“Hi Itachi, nice to meet you.” Uki said with a smile.

Itachi just looked at her.

“Next we have Deidara and Tobi.” She said pointing to both of the men. “Don’t be afraid of Tobi.” You added.

“Hi Deidara, and hello Tobi.” Ukisaki said with a smile plastered onto her face.

“HIYA UKI-CHAN!” Tobi yelled from where he was sitting, encouraging a couple of cold stares from the other people in the room.

“Haha, hello Tobi.”

“Okay, then Konan.” You said pointing to Konan

“Hey!” Uki said politely.

“Why hello.” Konan replied.

“Next we have Kisame, then Kakuzu.” You said pointing them out to Uki.

“Hey…” Uki said nervously.

“Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you.” You whispered into her ear.

Kisame and Kakuzu returned a simple nod.

“And then we have Hidan.” You said with a smile on your face, wanting to see her reaction.

“H-Hi Hidan.” Uki was finally able to spit out.

“Damn, another babe. Leader-sama’s doing good.” Hidan said with a small chuckle.

~Ukisaki's P.O.V~
Once Saffron-chan pointed Hidan out to me I almost fainted. He's gorgeous. Though it feels like he's been staring at me the whole time I've been here.

“Oh and Hidan guess what?” You said drawing everyone’s attention, especially Hidan’s and Uki’s.

“What?” He asked raising an eyebrow.

“Ukisaki here also practices the Jashin faith.” You simply said.

You heard the rest of Akatsuki curse silently. You chuckled.

“Really?” Hidan asked, trying not to get to overly excited.

“Yes.” Uki answered for you. “Yes I do.”

“Well then, looks like Hidan has a new room-mate.”

Someone interrupted from behind.

“But not a new partner, Hidan you will remain Kakuzu’s partner, but share a room with Ukisaki. That way you will finally get what you want. No one to talk about how stupid your religion is. Ukisaki will be working alone, since no one here has a jutsu that compliments hers. Kakuzu you will now be sharing a room with Zetsu. Now hopefully we will have some peace and quite around here.” He finished.

Uki turned around and gazed into his hypnotic eyes.

"You must be Pein..uh..er..Leader-sama." Uki corrected herself.

"Saffron-chan has told me so much about you." She added.

You immediately turned red, hoping Uki wouldn’t over-do-it.

“Ah, I see.” Pein answered in response.

“How sweet of you Saffron-chan.” Pein said now looking at you amused.

You were still bright red and at a loss of words.

“Now I hope these things she said were good things?” Pein asked.

“Oh yes, very good things.” Uki added once more.

A smile grew on Pein’s face as he glanced over at you. You could have sworn you saw him wink.
