Chapter 4- Reunited.

Pein's POV

I knew she'd find out sooner or later… so I guess I tell her everything, I told her about my two other friends Konan and Yahiko who were orphans as well, I explained to her how I took yahiko's dead body who was my best friend back then and how I brought his body back and control it as mine. that's when the naming of Pein comes in.

She was confused as well as betrayed because I did not tell her before.

"So…what do I call you?" she asked, "Pein, or…Nagato…or what?"

"Just stick to Pein, the others do not know, as well as they don't need to know," I told her, then I looked down, "I must seem like a terrible person to you now…" I said feeling saddened.

Akira lifted my face up with her finger to make me look at her, and said the most beautiful words that instantly brought back memories. "Kimi o aishitei Ru," [I love you]

Those words…it made me feel so…warm inside, she did not know how much it meant to me.

She kissed me on the cheek placed a hand on my face and studied me, "you may not look like the Nagato I knew back then, but…I'm glad to be back with you," she smiled and hugged me tight, bawling her eyes out with joy.

"I'm sorry for making you worry," I told her.

She wiped her eyes and playfully shoved me, "you better be," she smiled, "you should never worry a woman!"

"But keep in mind… don't let the others know," I warned her, "I might have to act like a jerk at times so they won't get any ideas,"

She sighed and thought, "Ok fine, I can handle that…as long as I'm with you. I'm complete."

Moments later Itachi peeked through the door and walked in, "Sorry to interrupt. But-"he stopped when he saw Akira hugged on me.

"what is it Itachi?' I asked slightly annoyed.

"On my mission, I found out that the ANBU of the leaf have decided to hunt down Akira once more, and that they are more serious than before. She's wanted for death."

Akira gave a cold look, "well if they want me, they can find me if they want. If I kill them first,"

"Is this true?" I asked.

He nodded, "she's at the top of the hit list…"

Akira tightened her fist and slammed it against a wall causing a crack, "if its war they want…then its war they get! I'll take them on right now!"

I touched her shoulder, "don't rush into things…I think we can work this out together,"

She calmed down a little, "Fine…"

"Thank you for the info Itachi, you're dismissed now,"

He gave one last look at Akira and left.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After finding out about Pein, I was so pleased, but as always my happiness never last. Itachi came and told us that the ANBU was after me once more. I was not too surprised, but I was enraged at the same time. However, with Pein…or Nagato, whatever. With him at my side, I can overcome it.

The next day, I tried not to think about the ANBU thing and decided to be a little cheerful for once, Hidan walked out his room with a hat on looking pissed.

"Can someone care to explain, why my things are missing, why my toothbrush taste sour, and this!" he pulled his hat off exposing his bright pink hair. "This is not funny!"

I cover my mouth as I laughed, Deidara Tobi and some of the others cracked up.

"When I find out they are so dead!" he yelled as he went back into his.

That is what that old perv gets!

When he was gone, I laughed louder, holding my stomach in.

"Dude, did you do that?" Deidara laughed.

I nodded and placed a finger over my lips and told him to not say anything.

"You are the real deal!" he laughed, "You just made my day,"

"What's Hidan whining about now?" Pein said in a fed up tone.

I grinned and crossed my arms, "let's just say…he had it coming,"

"Heh, your something Akira," he shook his head and gave a small laugh.

That night I was in the room, getting ready for bed, Pein was sitting at his desk with his head down, buried in his arms.

I lightly touched him on the shoulder, "Na- er I mean, Pein…are you alright?" I asked.

He sat up placing his hands onto his head, "just a little stressed," I could tell he was thinking about the ANBU.

I lightly massaged his shoulders, trying to calm him down, "don't think about it, were better than that now,"

He looked into my eyes, "your right Akira, guess I'm just thinking too much."

"Yeah, now try to get some rest,"

He grew quiet as he stood up, "yeah…but, I had….something else in mind," he gave a smirk.

"U-uh…like what?" I was completely lost.

Pein's POV

I do not know what really came over me, but I had this urge to get closer to Akira, to feel her soft delicate skin once more. She was in the perfect spot I wanted her in, so I took the advantage to take action, softly pushed her into the wall. She had a very perplexed look on her face unsure of what I was doing.

I leaned in into her ear and whispered, "don't be alarmed my love, but I just to let you know that I miss your intoxicating smell, and the feel of your silky smooth skin," I said as I brushed my lips against her skin making my way to her lips, kissing them softly. My head instantly went wild, the feel of her lips made me crave for more, I did not know what Akira was thinking but I hoped she was feeling the same way.
