My Family's Banker
I know I hope that you like this story. It's KakuHida baby! Woohoo! :D
Hidan's POV
I was walking home on a Friday afternoon. We had an early out today due to the fact that Parent/Teacher conferences was coming up next week and the Teachers had to get everything ready. I couldn't help but feel happy about today. I got out of school earlier than planned, I actually got a B on a test in science, and it was a nice day. Normally I don't like being outside but when it was nice I liked it. The sun on my skin felt nice as I walked down the sidewalk that led to my house. I opened the door. It was unlocked, like it always is.
I flinched a little as I heard yelling as I entered the house and I sighed inwardly and thought. Fighting again! How many times can they fight in a week? The answer to that question was simple and he knew it. His parents fought all the time. As he passed the living room he saw Hideo, his father, and Anashi, his mother, fighting up a storm. I glanced at them while his mother looked angered completely his father looked calm, but the look in his eyes said differently.
Hideo has metallic colored hair, brown eyes and a ghostly pale complexion. His personality is mostly stuck up in his own self-centeredness.
Anashi has blonde hair and light pink/rose colored eyes with pale skin. Her personality is based on her kindness but if you get her pissed off then she will turn you into a pile of ashes.
I hurried up and passed the living room unnoticed by my parents and I ran up the stairs and went into my room and shut the door, okay more like slammed but what's the difference? I threw my bag on the floor next to my bed and I flinched as I heard a screech from down in the living room.
"Don't you dare say that you filthy whore!" Hideo roared.
"I guess it's going to be a long night." Hidan muttered to himself as he went into the bathroom that was connected to his bedroom. I looked myself over in the mirror because I was going to go out for a walk. I couldn't help but wonder where Kakuzu was at. True I only met him once but I enjoyed annoying him, it was very fun. Anyway I wanted to see him again because he was different, I also wanted to know what was underneath that mask. Before I could see him though he went to a different state for some reason that my parents would never tell me.
I don't know how I remember but I just do. I remember how we all acted that day. I also remember asking my mother when the heathen bastard was coming back. I remember wanting to see what was under the mask. I don't know why but I remember every part of him that I saw and I still want to see him again.
I just couldn't stop myself from remembering the first time I saw Kakuzu.
Flashback
I was 9 and I was waiting outside the school for my Dad to pick me up like usual but today he was late. He is never late. Just then a tanned man wearing jeans and a T-shirt with scars all over his arms walked over to me. The weird man also had brown hair that went down to his shoulders.
"Hello are you Hidan?" He asked in a gentle tone of voice. I looked up into his eyes and was surprised to find that they were the color of emeralds and instead of white around his eyes there was red around them. I nodded.
"Yes but who are you and how do you know my name?" I asked with a slightly defiant glare in my eyes, trying to hide the fear that I felt. The man in front of me was tall, very tall maybe around 6'1.
"My name is Kakuzu. Don't worry I am not going to hurt you. Hideo and Anashi asked me to pick you up sense I will be having dinner with you and your family tonight."
"How do you know my parents?" I ask eyeing him with suspicion. He sighed.
"Look I am their Banker. I handle all of their finances and bills that they need filed. Now it has been a very long day for me and I am not picking you up just for the fun of it." He had a slightly irritated look in his eyes.
"Then why are you doing it?" I ask getting more confident that this Kakuzu guy wouldn't hurt me but I was still weary of him.
"Because when your parents called to tell me that they had things that they wanted filed your father sounded drunk and I will be damned if I am going to let anyone get hurt because he was driving drunk. Also it would be a waste of money."
"Fine I will go with you but if you don't take me home then I am going to kick your ass." I finally say reluctantly.
"Finally!" Kakuzu sighs and then he adds. "Ya good luck with that shrimp."
"Hey I am not a shrimp dammit!" I whine as he leads me to his car.
"Your not a shrimp because I am at least 2 times taller than you. You have a mouth like your father." He says as he gets into the driver side and I get into the passenger side.
"You got that right! Hey wha-" I was interrupted by Kakuzu.
"Just put your seat belt on."
"Why should I?"
"Because I said so."
"Well I don't have to listen to you."
"Fine but when you get hurt don't whine about it." He says driving off and once we hit the stop lights he slams on the brakes which sent me flying off the seat. I glared up at him and climbed back into the seat.
"What the hell was that for!" I whined.
"I told you that I didn't want to hear about it."
"But you did that on purpose."
"That is a possibility."
"Why did you do that you asshole?"
"To prove a point."
"What point?"
"The point that states that you will get hurt if you don't where your seat belt. So shut your mouth and let me drive in peace."
"Why should I yo-" Again with slamming on the brakes. This time there was no stop lights in sight.
The man in the drivers seat looked down at me and chuckled slightly. I was sure that he was smirking but I couldn't see it because the man was wearing a mask.
"O.k I learned my lesson about wearing a seatbelt!"
"This time I did that because I told you to shut up." He said in monotone.
"You know how dangerous that is right! We could have been hit by another car!"
"Will you shut your mouth or do I need to throw you into the dashboard again?"
"You aren't supposed to do that you fucker!"
"Why not?"
"Because I am only 9 and you could give me brain damage."
"I think that damage has already been done." Kakuzu sighed as he pulled into the driveway at my house and he turned off the engine. We both got out of the car and then he turned to me and spoke. "Don't bother me tonight Hidan." He then turned back to the house and started walking as my father came out of the house and greeted Kakuzu warmly. I was pissed though. I had to have dinner with this guy and I didn't even get to get him back for saying that I already had brain damage. I then turned back to where my dad was greeting both of us. By both of us I mean me and the prick wearing the creepy mask.
"So Hidan were you good for Kakuzu?" My dad was asking me.
"I was fine in my opinion but apparently his opinion was different. It was also nice to know that some complete stranger was going to be driving me home." I reply.
"Sorry Hidan but we had to get everything ready for when Kakuzu got here and we thought it would be better if he just picked you up sense he has to drive past the school to get here."
"Fine I still would have liked to know." I grumbled as my dad turned to Kakuzu.
"Thanks a bunch for picking Hidan up from school today also it's great to see you again." He said holding out his hand. Kakuzu took it and the two shook hands.
"Your lucky that I did do that normally I wouldn't have sense you know that I am not good with people." Kakuzu replied.
"Then why did you give him a lift?" Hideo asked the stitched man.
"In the end it would have cost more money for you and then it would mean more working time for me."
"How so?" Hideo asked as I went and stood beside him. I too was curious about Kakuzu's reasoning.
"Well first of all you sounded drunk and I remember you saying something before that Anashi doesn't have a license. That would mean that you would be driving drunk and most likely get yourself or you and Hidan into a crash. That means you both would have hospital bills and then for the money to fix your car. Then I would be spending more time filing your bills and dealing with your money problems that you already have." Kakuzu explained.
"You think to much about money my friend. I think that your job has gone to your head." Hideo laughed and I watched as Kakuzu's eyes hardened a little more. To relieve the tension in the air I asked.
"Where's Mom?"
"In the kitchen starting Dinner." Hideo replied and then added. "Come on in Kakuzu you must be tired after a long day at work and then to come straight here."
"You have no idea." Kakuzu grumbled following me and my dad into the house. I saw my mother come out of the kitchen and she sees Kakuzu and smiles.
"Kakuzu I am glad that your here for dinner is Fettuccine Alfredo. Is that o.k with you?" She asked.
"Yes that is fine with me I am sure that it will be good." Kakuzu replies.
"That's good! It should be ready in about an hour." She smiled again and returned to the kitchen.
"Kakuzu I hope that you don't mind that we will need to start the filing after dinner." My father apologized. While Kakuzu looked at him irritably.
"Why not start now and get a lot done by dinner and then finish up after?" Said man asked.
"I am really sorry Kakuzu but I completely forgot that I had a job interview at 5 this evening. So that's why I need to take that interview and then once I get back we can get started or if I'm not back by 5:30 then you guys can go ahead and eat without me and then I will eat when I get back." I watched as my father explained the situation to the stitched man. I looked up as I felt a hand on my shoulder to see my mom standing beside me.
"Where is your bag?" She asked.
"It's at school sense I got everything down during class." I lie easily.
"Hideo this has to stop." Kakuzu states as my mom returns to the kitchen and I turn back to the conversation at hand to see Kakuzu rubbing the bridge of his nose in frustration.
"What do you mean?" I watched as my father tried to act clueless and as Kakuzu turned a hard glare on him. My father flinched.
"You know exactly what I mean Hideo." Kakuzu has an edge to his tone as he speaks. "Every time I come over here to help you with something, you always have something else to do. You need to be careful with how you play this game. One day I am just going to get sick of your shit and I just will stop helping you when you ask me too."
"You can't do that." My father said. "It's your job."
"It is not my job if it's not during work hours. So I take time out of my day to do this for you. I don't have to do anything."
Hideo looked down at his feet and I could see that in his eyes held and emotion that I hadn't seen in them before. Regret. That was the emotion that I saw.
"I have to go." Hideo muttered as he grabbed his car keys and went into the kitchen to say good-bye to Anashi and then he left. Anashi walked into the living room and she said to Kakuzu.
"Make yourself at home. I will be back I just have to go get something out of the basement." She then saw the look on Kakuzu's face and she added. "I am sorry if I knew where he kept the files I would give them to you but he keeps them hidden from me."
"It's o.k and thank you for your hospitality." Kakuzu replies. Anashi smiles and turns to head down to the basement but then she looks at me sternly. "Do not get yourself into trouble." She orders and then leave's the room. I smirk evilly which Kakuzu catches.
"Don't even think about it." He growls out and my smirk grows.
"I don't know what your talking about Kakuzu." I say as innocently as I could. Said man frowns and sits down in the chair and starts reading a magazine. I looked over the arm of the chair to see what he was reading just to find it was full of advertisements. I looked back at the man in the chair and I asked. "You said that you are the family's banker, right?"
"Yes I did and I am surprised that you actually remembered me saying that. What about it?" Kakuzu said glancing up at m.
"How old are you exactly?" I ask curiously.
"How old do I look?" Kakuzu countered.
"I don't know it's kinda hard to tell after all you wear that mask over your face and so it's hard to tell. Hey why do you wear the mask? Are you ugly underneath it? What happened to make you wear it?"
"Do you ever shut up?"
"When I feel like it I will. Now answer me."
"Why should I?"
"Because I asked nicely."
"That was nice." Kakuzu scoffed.
"Yes it was now tell me!"
"Fine just as long as you shut your mouth." Kakuzu growled and I nodded.
"I promise." I replied but of course I never kept promises.
"I am 22. I will be 23 next month."
"Wow your young." I comment and Kakuzu scoffs. "Well what about the mask?"
"What about it?"
"You faggot why do you wear it?"
"Hidan you know better than to talk like that!" Anashi of course had to choose this time to come up from the basement and she was scolding me for using that language.
"I'm sorry." I muttered.
"You better be Hidan or else you will be in so much trouble for insulting our guest like that." Anashi scolded once again before disappearing into the kitchen. Once she had left the room I glared at Kakuzu again.
"Now look what you've done." I accuse.
"I did nothing." Kakuzu said. "You were the one saying profanity's, not me."
"You suck!"
"Your annoying." Kakuzu stated.
"Boys come in it's time for dinner!" Anashi called and I scampered into the kitchen followed by Kakuzu. We were having pasta.
After dinner I went into the living room to watch Cartoons while Kakuzu and Anashi stayed in the kitchen to deal with money or some shit. I just didn't understand.
After they were done my dad had come home and both he and Anashi were wishing Kakuzu good-bye and saying that they were looking forward to seeing him again.
"I would like to see you both on times when I am not doing your taxes and helping you with your money problems." Kakuzu had said. "After all I have other things to do. I won't always be here to help you. So Hideo I suggest you at least try to deal with your own money." Then he left.
Present
After that I never saw him again. I hated to admit it but I actually wanted to see the guy again but I never did and I don't know if I will again. Kakuzu's last words rang in my ears. He was right. He wasn't there so he couldn't help with our money problems and Hideo didn't even try to help with the money so that left Anashi that job.
I walked out of the bathroom and out of my room. I walked back down the stairs. I was planning on using the window again. I normally do now a days. But this time I didn't because all the fighting had stopped between my parents. At least I think it stopped because I couldn't hear anything.
The phone had rang a few times before someone answered it. I went downstairs and into the kitchen. The sight I saw surprised the hell out of me. Both of my parents were sitting at the table calmly. They both wore smiles and looked relieved.
"What's going on?" I ask cautiously. I didn't want to make the mad but I was curious. It was rare if my parents acted like this.
"Our money problems are fixed." Hideo said happily. I was shocked.
"What?" I ask.
"Tomorrow we are going to the bank. Like your father said our money problems are fixed." Anashi said.
"What do you mean by that." I wasn't cussing like I normally do but I was too shocked to cuss.
"Kakuzu is back." Hideo said with a smile.
Kakuzu is back baby! Ya I know I am crazy so ya I don't know when I will be able to put Ch. 2 up but I need to write it first and then I will put it up.
Also I have more stories that I will probably will put up within the next day or 2.
Review?
