Hidan's POV:

"Look out below!"

The day had been rather peaceful and kind. Hidan should have expected something was going to happen to fuck it all up.

Nothing positive or nice ever happened to him. He was one violent motherfucker. If positive and nonviolent things happened to him the world would be even more fucked up than it already was because he would have taken advantage of the favorable circumstances and murder and plunder even more.

After he had walked through a mildly crowded village, the Jashinist had decided to take a small nap under the shade of trees. After leaving his village, he had gone on a beautiful rampage across the lands and sated his Lord to an extent. When he had awoken this morning, though, he had decided that his scythe would not be used unless provoked. (To him provoked could range from being looked at to being breathed on, but... Eh... This was him being nice for once.)

Seriously, when the birds were singing like this and the sun was shining so brightly, he should have noticed that something was going to happen. There was no such thing as a beautiful day for a terrible person like him. Not even Jashin was powerful enough to have him go through one whole day without meeting any kind of conflict or strife.

As soon as he had heard that yell, the silver haired man had looked up at the tree line. And when he did, he found a blur of gray and black suddenly falling over him and there was no real time for him to react and move away. Instead he could only brace his body for the impact that came from... Whatever the hell this thing was.

The man grunted and groaned at the impact but took the hit rather well. His arms were splayed to either side of him- he had moved them there to center his body- while his legs were splayed out in front of him. His eyes had closed on instinct but when he opened them, he found himself face to back with what he deemed was a Jashin damned dumbass that was no older than fifteen.

"Oh... Shino, you bastard!"

Hidan quirked an eyebrow at the rather odd words that came from the idiot that had fallen onto him, then growled and pushed the person to get his attention.

A squawk of surprise left the kid's mouth and his arms and legs flew to try and keep his balance, which meant that Hidan had to dodge those flailing limbs. He managed to avoid two arms and one leg, but the last leg connected with his shin. The hit did not hurt much, it annoyed more than anything. And another annoyed growl left him as he grabbed both arms that had tried to hit him and hoisted the kid up to look at him.

He wore a gray jacket with black fur at the end of its sleeves and around its hood, which annoyed Hidan for some reason he couldn't understand. Eh, it was ridiculous attire. That's why. Then the kid wore pants and had a kunai pack wrapped around his thigh... So this must be a genin...

"Now you listen here, you stupid, little bas-" The words were growled and angered, but they died down in his throat when he came face to face with the kid that had hit him.

Tanned skin, blood red fangs on his cheeks, sharp yet innocent features, and... Well, he would be lying if he tried to say otherwise. The most breathtaking eyes Hidan had ever seen in his life.

There wasn't much about them that would stand out normally. They were black and surrounded by a slightly angled eye shape and medium length eyelashes. He had seen eyes like this many times before. But, if they were so regular... Why did Hidan's breath suddenly catch in his chest?

The scathing words he had been about to yell withered in his mouth and soon enough Hidan was just left staring at the kid in front of him, eyes wide and staring intently at the boy's own. With every closing of the kid's eyes, Hidan followed without a blink, and he could feel his chest tighten in the most amazing of ways when those eyes opened up once more and he was able to greet those beautiful eyes once more.

"-done staring?"

Those words weren't completely heard by Hidan. His mind was a bit busy reeling over the wonders he found hidden within those eyes.

"Yo. Old man. Stop staring. Can you let go of me now?" The kid grouched and Hidan blinked rapidly while shaking his head, trying to clear it.

Wait, had he heard right?

"Did you just call me old man?" Hidan growled, momentarily forgetting how enraptured he had previously been.

The boy's amazing eyes rolled at that moment and he scoffed. "You've got almost white hair... What, am I supposed to think you're young like me?"

Forget those eyes. This kid was losing his throat.

Even with the promised threat ringing in his head, Hidan didn't move to do anything to the boy. Instead he moved his hands from holding on to the kid's arms to rest at his hands. Not surprisingly at all for a ninja, the hands were calloused and rough.

"Have you never heard of respect for your elders?" His anger was half hearted, and Hidan couldn't help but wonder just what in the world was wrong with him.

The kid's eyes followed Hidan's hands in silence, seeming slightly confused as to why the man was being so weird, then looked up once more. "Of course I have. But you're being a bit of a creep."

Hidan frowned in annoyance and felt his eyebrow twitch, then growled, "Just what were you doing falling into my lap?" He hissed, even though he didn't let go of the boy's wrists.

The kid groaned dramatically and leaned back slightly- which made Hidan notice he was basically sitting Hidan's lap with his legs to either side of him- then answered with a tone of sarcasm only a teenager could achieve. "Oh, I totally enjoy falling into old men's laps on a daily basis. You're my fifth of the day."

"You are the most disrespectful shit I've met in my life." Hidan growled, adding a that I haven't killed in his mind.

"Yeah?" The kid asked flashing him an abrasive half-smile. He had really sharp canines. "Well you're the oldest most disrespectful shit I've met in mine."

A growl bubbled up in Hidan's chest right then but the kid's smile only turned into a smirk.

"You're also the oldest person I've had feel me up."

"Feel you up?" Hidan muttered almost dumbly, then noticed where his hands still were- holding onto the kid's wrists- and quickly pulled them away to point a long finger in the kid's face. "You wish, junior!"

Hidan almost slapped himself at how positively weak the insult was. But instead of showing how perturbed he was by the kid, he instead shook his head and turned his head away from him.

"You have quite some nerve. First you fall on me, then you call me old, and now you want to cry molestation! This all started when you landed on me like some idiot that can't control chakra!"

The kid jumped forward and Hidan wondered just why the hell the kid had to go so high when he did so, but couldn't push the kid off before he began to speak once more. "Hey, buddy, you're the one saying you molested me!"

"I did no such thing!" Hidan shouted back, but the kid now leaned back, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes while turning his head away.

"I could find the police right now and you'd be put in jail as a child molester."

That's it. Beautiful eyes or not, this kid was going to get it.

Hidan moved his hands slowly so he could wrap them around the boy's neck, but before he could do just that, a sudden bark from a few feet away had the kid jumping up and away from Hidan.

A white dog of, say, average height for an adult appeared through the trees now and bounded up to the kid, its tongue lolling to the side of its mouth as it panted. The kid crouched down and opened his arms to catch the animal and laughed when he begun to spun it around. And Hidan would be a liar if he said that he felt nothing when that laughter rang in his ears.

What the actual fuck was wrong with him?!

"Akamaru! You found me! Did you get away from the mean Shino? Did ya?!" The boy asked in a baby voice that had Hidan rolling his eyes as he brought his legs up to cross them beneath him and arms to cross over his chest.

"He did not." A new voice answered from the trees and now Hidan wondered just why there were so many people around him today. "He helped me find you, Kiba." The boy that now appeared wore a heavy coat that covered half of his face, dark sunglasses, and wild hair. Weirdo.

But after he passed judgement on the new kid's clothes, Hidan noticed the name he had called the one with the fangs on his face. Kiba. Made sense. Fit him perfectly, actually.

"It's not my fault you punched me more than a hundred yards away from camp!" Kiba grumbled as he put his dog down.

The animal began to sniff at his owner's hands, then the ground, and finally began to make his way towards Hidan. When the wet nose hit his hand, Hidan jumped and glared at the animal as dangerously as he could. But the animal only seemed to smile at him and sat down beside Hidan.

"Akamaru, get away from him." Kiba warned, "He's a weird old man!"

Those words stung Hidan more than they should have. Seriously, what was going on with him? These feelings weren't normal for someone like him! With a shake of his head, Hidan stood up and placed one of his hands on his hips.

"No respect... Especially after harming me." For dramatic effect, he rubbed at his abs and pouted slightly. "You might've broken a rib."

Kiba's face went from irritating smirk to disbelieving gasp in almost no time and Hidan couldn't help but smirk at that. Then Hidan continued. "You owe me something for my troubles of catching you."

The odd kid with the weird hair looked from Hidan to Kiba with a face the Jashinist couldn't really distinguish, then breathed out, shook his head, and turned around and walked back into the forest. Kiba growled at Hidan and walked up to him, those wonderful eyes now shining with annoyance and a passionate fire.

"You. Are. Unbelievable." He emphasized each word with a poke at Hidan's exposed chest, which only amused Hidan even more.

"But I am amazing." His smile couldn't have been any more infuriating and he readily enjoyed how the dog boy bristled. "Now, you gonna take care of this old man's ailing joints?"

Huh... Dog boy... Mutt... Pup... Oh, Hidan could use all of that.

"Fine." Kiba growled after a moment, then turned around and waved him forward. "Follow me, then, old man."

Hidan bristled as well at those words, but said nothing more as he followed the very much younger kid.

He didn't understand why he was doing this. Under any other circumstances, he would have killed the kid minutes ago. And his dog. And his friend. And that other friend they had mentioned at some point. But, instead of unleashing violence to quench his Lord's thirst, he was following the kid into his camp for medical aid he certainly didn't need.

With a sigh, the man shrugged. Well, he didn't understand it... But he knew that he really liked that kid's eyes. So even if it meant lying about his injuries, he was okay following him. It meant he'd be able to enjoy those amazing eyes for a bit longer.
