Very, very, very short but... I liked it :P Done for a challenge type thing (I think it was, anyway) for hbkcross2 on DeviantART xD

Skin brushing against skin; hair tickling bare chests; loving gazes; tender caresses; harsh words; cruel beatings; violent arguments: He missed them all. How long had he been down there?. Hours? Days? Months?... Years? It couldn't be years. Kakuzu would have come and dug him up by now. He would; no matter how much they claimed to detest each other they would, if possible, die for one another. What if Kakuzu was dead? No, that stubborn old asshole wouldn't be taken down by some little brats about a tenth his age, he was too strong for that. He was only person who had ever struck the fear of death into Hidan, but he had gotten used to it over time. It was just how the older man was. Where was he? That money grubbing bastard had better get his ass here soon or may Jashin have mercy on his soul.

He's dead. He can't be dead, he's Kakuzu. Kakuzu, as a rule, generally did not die. Not only was he near immortal, but he was a fucking unyielding old bastard; he'd stay alive if only to spite people. Near immortal, he's not you. He will die. Fuck off! He- he wouldn't leave me on my own like that! He knows I hate being alone so he wouldn't do that to me. What's to stop him? He's left you alone before. Missions are completely different! Most of them need us to be separated or they'll fail so fuck. Off. You don't know anything about us. Of course I do, I'm you. No you're not, because I'm not a fucking asshole. I think many people would beg to differ. Not that Kakuzu can anymore. Because he's dead. He's not dead! What, has he abandoned you then?

He's dead, isn't he Hidan? You and I both know that, why do you keep denying it? Open your eyes you foolish boy. I- he- no! He's not dead and he's not abandoned me, he just doesn't know where I am! Yes, it's not like he's going to give up and chase after a bounty is it? You know, on the slim chance he is alive. Which he isn't. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fuck. Off. He's looking for me. What the fuck do you know? I know exactly what you know; Kakuzu is dead. Stop trying to fool yourself. He- he's either dead or abandoned me... I don't know which would hurt more. I suppose I have to open my eyes and realise he's... gone.


SlowlySlippingIntoMadness!Hidan is fun to write :3 Er, that's what the italics were anyway ¬¬ he seems a bit OOC but he's been buried underground with noone to talk to but himself D: I think that'd be enough to change anyone, really.
