"It's your own fault you know" Kakuzu scolded.
"Just shut you fu-"
"Hidan-san please stop swearing." Sasori said blandly, cutting Hidan off.
"I have to agree with danna, yeah." Deidara piped in. "It gets really annoying after a while."
"Like I fu- " Hidan never got around to finish his stream of profanity for Kakuzu threw the brief case he was previous holding at Hidan's head.
"Just shut up will you." The ex falls nin sneered. "We're almost to the exchange. Can't you be quiet until then?" Hidan scowled, his fingers clenching the cold familiar feel of his blood stained scythe.
"Just how far are we anyways?" Deidara asked. He stepped carefully over a twisted root that stuck out of the ground like barb wire on a fence. Hundreds off roots just like it was scattered along the scarcely treaded path they walked now. Many thought that the forest they walked through was hunted.
"About 500 meters." Kakuzu said as he walked around a particularly large root. It's gangly appearance casted wicked shadows across the twilight kissed ground.
The sun was nothing more than a glowing orange orb peeking out from behind breaks in the trees. It resembled the rich liquid color steel took on when removed from the fire in a metal smiths forage.
Even though night was still an hour away their remaining light quickly disappeared as the shrubbery increasingly grew thicker and closer together.
They weren't scared of the dark, or the beasts said to roam the woods at night. If anything they should be the ones who were feared.
"Stupid trees" Hidan cursed as he tripped over a root in the dark. He shouted obscenities when Deidara snickered through the thick darkness.
"Need a hand Hidan-san?" The blonde teased.
"Fuck off." Hidan growled.
A snap. Followed by the whip of a tree branch whipping back into its natural position. The group froze, quietly studying their surroundings. It was too dark to see anything and the pungent odor of rotting plants and decaying animals clocked any other smell that could reach their trained noses.
So they listened. Listened for anything that may reveal their enemies whereabouts.
Quick as lightning Sasori shot a needle through the mouth of the puppet he hid in. From a bush not far from Hidan's leg the needle hit a white rabbit. The dead animal fell out from the bush, its mouth open and eyes wide and frightful.
"It's just a fucking rabbit." Hidan kicked the animal back into the bush. "Why'd we have to go through here anyways?" He grunted as his foot caught on another root. "Why don't we just take the main road?"
"Are you stupid, un?" Deidara asked from in front of the jashanist.
"Are you calling me stupid?" Hidan yelled, his anger rising. Like the hair on the back of a provoked cat.
"No, un" Hidan could hear the smile in the blondes voice. "I'm asking, yeah."
"Leave me a lone will ya." Hidan scowled, refusing to answer that question.
"We can't take the main roads for someone could recognize us and call the nearest ANBU. I for one wish not to get into a pointless fight."
Hidan opened his mouth to crudely respond when another twig snapped from right in front of them. "Oh what now." He yelled exasperated. "Don't tell me it's another fucking rabbit."
"Shut up-" Kakuzu started to warn when a barrage of Kunai flew at them. They would have seen the lethal weapons if their cold black steel had not glinted in the little filtered moonlight.
"He-yeah!" Hidan cheered. "Finally I can vent!" with practiced ease his hands wrapped around the long staff of his scythe. In one quick movement the scythe was off his back and held out defensibly in front of him.
The fight soon began with 5 ANBU from the village hidden in leaves leading a well planed attack against them.
The fight continued for minutes never shifting into the others advantage. Kakuzu and Sasori took advantage of the darkness. Kakuzu removed on of his arms while Sasori carefully laid a trap amongst the chaos. Several tress lay wasted in the darkness from Deidara's clay bombs. He could use an explosive to give them some light but if you used anything powerful than his C1 he could risk injuring an ally.
Hidan cussed out his enemies trying to provoke a carless move or attack. He could swing his weapon around in the dark and hope to land a hit. He hated to admit it but he needed some strategy if he was to catch his prey.
"Give up now and we will let you live." The ANBU's voice came from all directions, prohibiting them from finding its owners location.
"Yeah right!" Deidara mocked sarcastically "that translates to when you gave us all the information we need we'll kill ya, un. Sorry but I'm not going to go out that way!"
"I have to agree with Deidara-chan." Hidan added, stepping closer to Kakuzu. "I don't want to be tortured for the rest of my life just because I can't die.
The ANBU may have not voiced their surprise at Hidan's words but the four Akatsuki could fell it.
"Yes." Hidan moaned. Adrenaline pumping though his veins. "Be afraid! You are facing an immortal! Not matter what attack you hit me with. No matter how many times you hit a vital point! I will never die!"
"Quit getting full of yourself" Sasori hissed.
"Get used to it Sasori-san" Kakuzu narrowed his eyes, the hand he dislodged earlier had found one of the hiding ANBU. "He's always full of himself."
"Talk about vain." Deidara mused.
"Will you fuckers quit talking about me?" Hidan shouted annoyed at his so called partners.
There was no further conversation. An ANBU squelched in pain as Kakuzu's hand crushed his neck.
"Kisu!" A woman's voice shouted. Another barrage of Kunai rained on them after the woman's outburst. Deidara smirked as he detonated the bombs he set up.
The battle was almost over. The ANBU who made the earlier outburst stood before them. A kunai held in a shakily grip. One of her dead comrades laid on the ground not far off. Dead from the trap Sasori had set. They could see her. In fact they could see a large part of the clearing Deidara made with his bombs.
Her mask lay in shambles at her feet, once holding the proud from of a screeching eagle . Her silky blonde hair splayed out across her pasty skin. Her dark blue eyes glaring at them.
"Now don't look that way." Hidan laughed as he stepped towards her, his scythe held upright. "This will only hurt a bi-FUCK!"
Kakuzu's eyes widen as he tried to figure out what happened. One moment the girl was there and the next she was slouched down behind Hidan. His scythe cut clean in half. She moved faster than he could track.
Hidan did not see her move either. But something told him that he was lucky. Something told him that if he hadn't lit his scythe slouch down earlier he would be the one cut into tow clean sliced on the ground.
Blood drooled from the female ANBU's mouth. Her body hitched and chucked forward. A fit of coughs shaking her thin frame. With each cough a blast of blood gushed from her mouth. Her deep blue eyes lost their luster. Her open mouth a gape, as if in protest. With one final heave she fell forward. Dead.
"Just great." Hidan hissed. He picked up the two pieces of metal that once made a whole scythe. He lined the two pieces together and stared as if hoping for the metal to combine back together magically. When no such miracle appeared he turned to Kakuzu.
"NO I can't fix your silly scythe Hidan." The bounty nin replied taking the words right from Hidan's mouth. "You need a metal smith for that."
"Well where can we find one? I really need my scythe."
"We don't have the time." Kakuzu said testily. "Besides hiring a smith costs money we don't have."
"I know, un." Deidara added. Hidan and Kakuzu, even Sasori, turned to look that the ex rock nin. "I know someone, un." Deidara continued. "Who can fix Hidan's scythe for free."
"They'd probably still want something in return" Kakuzu contradicted.
"The only thing I could think they would want in return is to kill me, un."
"Hey, I like his idea." Hidan smirked.
