As he paced down the street in annoyance, Kakuzu tried in vain to block out the sound out of his head. Loud, off-tune music filled the air; which could only mean one thing…………….. a carnival.

As annoyed as Kakuzu was, Hidan was excited to greet the sounds and smells of the new area. Hidan knew how annoyed his partner was and decided to push it a little further. "Hey asshole!" the albino yelled a bit too loud. "what?" his partner-in-crime asked in a bored tone."Let's stop over there." He said pointing to the area of which the carnival was. Normally Kakuzu would have not agreed to such a thing, but he was tired and did not feel like arguing at the moment. So he agreed. "You have one hour"

Once they were inside the gates, Hidan automatically pulled Kakuzu deeper into the crowded affair. As tired as Kakuzu was he'd rather just sit on a bench while Hidan did whatever he wanted to do. But the other male insisted he come along.

Walking through all the isles of brightly colored food and game stands, Hidan managed to drag Kakuzu to a small ticket booth. Once paying for two tickets, Hidan led his partner in the direction of a large fares wheel. Kakuzu now wondering if he'd have to ride on the giant wheel with the priest. Finally he stopped and said while looking at the ride "Since I know you'd refuse to go on any other ride, I figured you wouldn't mind this one. You're going on it with me!" Hidan voice sounding a bit commanding at the last sentence. "Fine."

After handing in their ticket, they both stepped into a booth-like seating cart. The booth had a wall that when around the sides, about two or three feet tall so you could sit down without having to be strapped in. They seated themselves quietly, as the wheel started to spin, then stop to let the next passenger on. After a few more stops, the ride span round uninterrupted. Hidan soon became sleepy from the relaxing movement and leaned into his partner.

Kakuzu jerked slightly when he felt his partner's weight pressing onto him. Turning his head, he saw his partner start to wrap his arm comfortly around his waist. Kakuzu sighed but let his companion slump sleepily against him, some-what enjoying the Jashinnet's touch. This carried on until Hidan fell completely asleep. Just when he was about to stretch out a hand to stroke Hidan's hair, he realized that it was about their turn to leave the ride, judging from the fact that other pedestrians were exiting the ride. Kakuzu didn't want to be caught with Hidan clinging to his side, so he shook his sleeping partner awake. "Wake up you moron." The stitched man stated blankly.

Hidan slowly sat up strait, rubbing the sleep from his eyes." huh?" was his reply when the wheel stopped, allowing them to exit. Kakuzu got off without hesitation and his partner soon followed.

Later that night, they had managed to set up camp. Once it was time for them to rest for the night, despite the fact that he had a short, comfortable nap snuggling up to his partner, Hidan went to sleep right away. Kakuzu on the other hand lay awake, wishing to be touched by the priest once again, only to wake up craving more.
