Pein swore that he just saw the girl shiver. It wasn't even cold.

"You don't have to frightened of me, child. I won't hurt you. We'll help each other."

He could only imagine what he looked like to her, but then, he didn't care.

The unruly periwinkle hair that obscured her face was paired with the expression that this was a nightmare that she desperately wanted to wake up from. It wasn't helping his cause.

It was clear that she didn't have a heart to love him. She was too wise. It also dawned on Pein that he was scaring her.

It was such a pity. Such such a wasted opportunity. She wouldn't even look at him.

He needed to change that.

"You can't make someone love you," Deidara groused.

"Love isn't really our forte," Zetsu sniffed. "You must be kidding."

Hidan shrugged. "Maybe you're just not her type. Now, women love me."

Kakuzu scoffed.

"What was that?"

Hidan clenched his hand into a fist; Kakuzu cracked his neck in response.

"Tobi wants to try! Tobi wants to meet the lady." Obito declared.

"Does she like sharks?" Kisame put in.

Itachi remained silent. He would never put himself in the way of what the leader desired.

"Maybe the little wench wants to be high and mighty. Let her stay locked in her tower. She'll soften up. They always do."

The other members of the Akatsuki were left to wonder if Hidan had any personal experience in this matter.

Pein swept his arm violently. "None of you are qualified, It must be, I, Pein."

Obito shivered at Pein's tone of voice. Itachi closed his eyes.

"Her heart must be given freely for her chakra to flow and for me to attain the technique as well. There is no other way."

"But wouldn't killing her be more fun?" Kisame asked dryly.

In two heartbeats, Pein had crossed the room and was inches from the swordsman's face.

"Never suggest that again. I need her jutsu."
