Krissy sat outside the hideout against the wall. She had her arms around her legs and her head on her knees. That stupid lying traitor.... she thought as she tried to keep herself from crying. I bet that everything he told me was a lie....He'd better hope that he never comes back here, cuz I'm gonna kill him if he does..... A tear fell down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away. She stretched her legs in front of her and crossed her arms so it didn't look like anything was wrong. She was in a terrible mood today, and it showed. It showed big time. She heard someone come out of the hideout, but didn't bother looking to see who it was.

Harushi looked down at Krystalia from a tree. "Kristy?" Harushi looked extremely worried having seen a tear drop from her eye. "What's wrong?" Harushi wasn't afraid of coming here because he could sense anyone before they would sense him. Harushi had actually come back to say goodbye to Kirsty, noone else.

Krissy glared at Harushi when she realized that it was him. "What're you doing here?" She said harshly. "What do you want?" You..you...you're such a stupid traitor Harushi! she wanted to say outloud. For some reason she kept herself from saying it and glared at Harushi.

"I realized that I never said goodbye to you...Or told you the reason I was leaving." Harushi ignored Kristy's glare and looked straight into her eyes. "Should I tell you now? Or never. Because I will leave if you hate me"

(uummm, I thought Harushi was blind)

Krissy continued to glare at Harushi, attempting to keep herself from crying. "You should just leave." No, you should stay here with the Akatsuki! she thought silently. "You...you're such a stupid traitor Harushi!" She managed to make herself say as tears swelled in her eyes. "You were part of the Akatsuki! And the Akatsuki's a family! Family's not supposed to leave each other!" she yelled at him, the tears falling slowly down her face. She quickly wiped them again. I hate you...I hate you, you dumb stupid lying traitor!

(he is, but he can make a mental picture of things)

Harushi jumped down infront of Kristy and kneeled infront of her, then put his hand gently on her cheek. "I'm sorry Kristy, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Especially you." Harushi let his blind eyes gaze deeply into Kristy's.

(oooooh, ok)

Krissy slapped his hand away and glared at him. "Well too bad, you did anyways," she said coldly. She tood up and looked at Harushi, regaining her cold/harsh attitude. "Now you'd better leave before I go tell Deidara you're here." She wiped her eyes again, just to make sure that the tears were gone. Akatsuki's aren't supposed to cry....

Harushi sighed and stood up, keeping tears out of his eyes as he always had. "I didn't want to hurt anyone..." harushi thought sadly to himself. He stood up gently and looked at Kristy. "You truly were like a little sister to me, the only one in the Akatsuki who was realy like a family." Harushi's blind eyes looked at hte ground, then turned around and walked away slowly, arms dangling at his sides.

Krissy looked at Harushi, her eyes tearing up again. "That's makes it even worse!" She looked down. "If there's one thing I know for certain now, it's that if you're even remotely nice to someone, they'll either walk all over you or walk away from you!" She looked back up at Harushi. "This is why I don't like making friends! They'll always end up doing something stupid! My dad, my brother, my sensei, and you. You all walked away! But...at least Kuuo said goodbye first!" She glared at Harushi. "Why is it that you treat the Akatsuki like its's just some kind of vacation from your old life! If you had something you were going to miss, you shouldn'tve come here in the first place...." she said quietly.

Harushi stopped. "Kristy, if you want me to, I won't leave you, but I am leaving the Akatsuki, and I'm not walking away from you, I'm walking away from what originaly brought us together, the Akatsuki, it is not what keeps us together now." Harushi turned back and wrapped his arms around Kristy, holding her to him for a moment that seemed like an eternity. He then let go and walked away. Knowing Kristy could find him if she wanted to.

Krissy's eyes widened slightly as Harushi hugged her, and at that moment she thought she was gonna break down in tears. Akatsuki's don't cry, akatsuki's don't cry.... she kept telling herself over and over in her head. "You know I can't keep talking to you now, or else Deidara will find out!" she yelled to him as he walked away. "And...and I'm not leaving the akatsuki ever!" she wiped her eyes one last time before walking back into the hideout as if nothing ever happened. I hate you Harushi.... she thought, not sure that was completely true.
