"Oh Pein, were home" you called comically as you and Sasori entered the hideout. You were exhausted and thankful for your partner's lack of speech, throughout the whole three day mission."
Leader is out somewhere. He didn't tell us where he was going." A vision of blue appeared before your eyes, as Kisame stood from the tattered couch. That was your leader for you; he was either planning or out on his own. "So, how did it go?"
Rows of sharp pearly white teeth revealed themselves as Kisame grinned. "It was-"the slamming of a door could be heard down the hall. "I'm guessing Sasori didn't take to it so well" the grin still apparent on his face when he turned back to you.
It wasn't the mission that Sasori didn't take well, it was you. He had a systematic way of doing things, but you...had your own way of doing things. "Let's just say we don't see eye to eye" you laughed nervously heading to your room.
"No one comes in my room, ok"the last of your sentence came a little jumbled by the yawn that slipped through your lips, but he still understood what you said for it had become routine. "Good night (y/n)"he said with a wave of his hand, smiling knowingly.
Some of the Akatsuki members had no sense of privacy (the men) and would burst through your door, not caring if you were sleeping or getting dressed. Kisame being one of them.
With a very welcomed sigh, you stepped into your warm room as a summer breeze blew through the open window. 'It feels like I've been gone forever. But it's only been a few weeks.' Taking a seat on your bed you sat and thought about some of the things that the other members could have done while you were away.
This was something that had become routine for you as well when you returned to this, so called place you dubbed home, after your duly paid years of suffering. As the daily routine of the other members went through your mind, a quiet knock sounded on your door. "Come in" you answered tiredly flopping backwards on the bed.
It didn't take long for the person on the other side to respond. "(Y/n), when Pein gets back he would like to speak with you" the neatly cut blue head of Konan peeked from behind the door. You admired her for being so bold as to refer to your leader by his first name.
"And at what time would that be?"You couldn't hide the whine in your voice at this.
The only times he ever wanted to see you were when he had a mission for you to do. Obviously Konan noticed this, with a slight grin on her usually poised face.
"He'll be back in a few days time" she answered giving you a reassuring smile, then closing the door. "I'd better go take a shower before someone else comes looking for me" you say solely to yourself. So reluctantly pulling yourself off the bed, you went to turn the shower on.
"Ahh, that felt so good" you say shaking your wet (h/c) hair, letting the drops of water drip down your back. "Well, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself" came the voice of a particular silver haired man. With a quick gasp your eyes focused on him, wondering why he was sitting on your bed with an expectant smile on his face.
Your curiosity turning to anger as you clutched the pink towel closer to your body in hopes of discouraging his wondering eyes.
"Damn it, didn't I tell Kisame not to let anyone in" you growled while watching his gaze subtly slip lower from your face.
"Well you can't count on the bastard now; he's asleep on the couch" the smile on his face steadily spreading across his features. Standing under his gaze gave you quite the chill, and the only thing hiding the rest of your body from him was that thin little pink towel.
The thought alone caused you to blush and your body heat to rise. This was Hidan, he knew exactly what to do or even say, to get the right reaction he wanted from you. "So what do you want?"You say sounding a bit more venomous than intended.
Your eyes wondering to his open cloak, exposing his broad chest, making you look away. Catching this he figured exactly how to answer. "I know exactly what I want, (y/n). But my question to you is, what do you want?"He lowered his voice as he asked the question, fixing his pink irises on you.
Honesty you couldn't figure out how to answer his question, so you just responded the only way you knew how. "Just tell me what the hell you want and leave!"Anger present in your voice. "No need to be so...feisty, I just wanted to borrow those set of knives" he said fingering the platinum Jashinist symbol tied around his neck.
This wasn't the first time he had wanted to borrow them from you, so you already knew how he planned to use them. "Take them, there in the left drawer by the bed" sighing, you wanted him out of the room, so you could at least put on some clothes.
Those knives were a present from your master, the only thing you saw fit to keep, after you found out his betrayal to you. "Hmm, now what do we have here?"Holding between his fore finger and thumb, Hidan stared fascinated at the very lacy object in his hand. "I didn't know you liked these kinds of things", he teased, stretching the white elastic of the thin underwear.
"I said it's in the left drawer you pervert, now get out!"Sharply gesturing to the door, while still managing to keep the towel around yourself.
There was a reason you hid such a revealing item of clothing at the bottom of your drawer, were you hoped no one would find it, because they too were also a present. "Calm your ass the fuck down, and don't get your panties in a bunch" he said jokingly referring to your lack of underwear.
"Why won't you leave?"You say extremely flushed, but you couldn't understand why he was pestering you so much today, normally you two avoided each other on a social level. You knew if you increasingly dealt with him, he would annoy you to no end, like hot nails being driven into your skin.
"Relax, I'm gone" casually running a hand through his slick silver hair, you didn't notice when he slipped your personal item of clothing into his cloak.
Sticking his crafty hands in the right drawer, he pulled out three beautifully carved mothers of pearl hilted knives. They held no special place in your heart any more; they were merely just a tool you used to do your job. Looking at them once more before Hidan walked towards the door, you remembered bitterly the day Orochimaru rewarded you with them.
"I would like them back by tomorrow" as fast as the words left your mouth, Hidan had expertly thrown one of the knives wedged between his fingers, directly aiming at your heart. Not being the first time he had tried this, you weren't surprised.
He said it was his way of keeping you on your toes while he was around, not wanting you to get too comfortable in his presence. Given just enough time to react, you caught the blade, but instead of grabbing a hold of the hilt you caught the edge of the blade. The sharp knife sliced through the soft flesh of your palm.
You weren't alarmed in the least bit by this, watching the crimson liquid pool in the palm of your hand then drip to the wooden floor. You continued to stare until Hidan spoke up, "Oh, I'm so sorry" he mocked, his eyes leaving your hand as he looked you in the eye.
Trapped in his gaze you were frozen on the spot, not noticing when he grabbed hold of your wrist and taking the knife from your grip. Bringing your bloodied hand to his lips, your pure life force tempted him beyond his self control. His attention was on your eyes as he lifted your hand to his face; his mouth opening while his tongue lapped at the open wound. It sent shivers down your spine at the sudden contact.
Your (e/c) eyes glazed with a sudden feeling of desire as you watched his tongue coated with your blood. He continued licking at the wound before letting out a satisfied, "Mmm" a smile still lingering as his thumb caressed the veins on your wrist. Breaking yourself from his enticing stare, you snatched your hand back, cradling it to your chest.
"Out" you whisper, all anger gone now and you weren't sure what it was replaced with. Taking one last triumphant lick from the knife, he left you standing there in your flustered state.
After Hidan's little pleasure seeking moment, you got dressed and bandaged your hand, trying to keep all thoughts of him out of your mind. 'Why can't he ignore me like he does everyone else in this place?' He either goes from one extreme to the next.
You were right; he was either rubbing against you like a cat in heat or cursing you and being extremely distant. Honestly you didn't know what to make of him, so you just figured you were his emotional plaything. Someone to get his kicks off of.
You thought about this while fixing the sleeves of your elbow length white shirt sleeves, running your fingers down the clean light fabric. Your black pants were cut just a few inches under the knee to allow for better movement. A kunai pouch strapped along your thigh for easy access, nothing to complicated.
You weren't going to let Hidan get to you, but with your excited blood pulsing through your body you would never get the nap you had hoped for. So your best option was to find some sort of entertainment. Snatching a book off your bedside table, you proceeded to exit the hideout. Encountering no one on your way out, you were happy to be out of your room and free to think.
Setting yourself down at the base of a tree not far from the hideout, you opened your book and began reading. Not long after did your mind begin wondering to other things, taking you back a few years before you joined the Akatsuki.
"Master Orochimaru, my mission is complete" you say kneeling at his feet as he was seated in a large throne like chair.
"Good my darling (y/n), how could I get anything done without you?"He smiled gesturing for you to stand. "I don't know, so therefore we will not find out" you mused."
He chuckled finding your boldness amusing, for if it had been anyone else they would have been punished for their disrespect.
"The rest of the day is yours my pet" holding his palm upwards, he made a small hand gesture. "Yes Master" slightly bowing you inwardly sighed at the thought of having the whole day off. Turning to leave you were almost through the door before he called your name.
"(Y/n), before you go could you retrieve Sasuke for me?"He wasn't asking but demanding it. "Yes Master" obediently you obeyed, used to his treatment of you. He was the one who took you in when you had nowhere to go, the least you could do was to obey him.
The sound of your footsteps echoed down the empty hallway, your hands running across the cold stone wall. Just the thought of having to summon that spoiled Uchiha baby, made your blood pressure rise. He had no respect for anyone, even Orochimaru and especially not you. So why should you even want to associate with any one like him anyway, you just couldn't see what Orochimaru saw in him in the first place. Reaching the closed door of his bedroom, silence was heard on the other side. So without knocking you were hoping to catch him in some incriminating act.[*]
Barging into his room without a second thought, your awaiting eyes were met with darkness. No amount of light could seek through the darkness, no audible or visual sign indicated that he was there.
"Do you have any respect? You knock when you would like to enter an occupied room" a slight movement came from the corner of the room, as he appeared in front of the door. You weren't expecting that, but quickly regained your composure.
"Well, why should I when you don't do the same for anyone else. You have to give respect to get some" you pointed out, your voice holding false kindness.
"What is it that you want?"He said quickly losing his interest in you. "Master Orochimaru wants to see you" you scoffed.
Saying that as he stepped closer to the door, close enough for you to feel his warm body heat. By doing this he was hoping to intimidate you into backing down. You being you would never give him that satisfaction.
"Do you hold something against me?"He asked coolly, the tone in his voice meaning to irritate you. "No, I just don't see the point of keeping such a worthless brat around" emphasizing your last two words, standing your ground so he would have to walk around you to get out of his own room. "I could ask the same of you" he said tauntingly in that nonchalant tone of his. Brushing that off, you knew you were more help to your master than he ever would be.
"Why are you here anyway? Can't you gain power from somewhere else?"You venomously spat, wondering why he was so talkative today.
"I think you're a little jealous of me" if it weren't for his stoic expression you would have thought he was joking. "And I think you are clearly mistaken" you sniffed, moving out of his way.
"I appreciate your company, but stay out of my way" he said not just referring to you standing in his way. Watching him walk away, your annoyance died down from the quiet hallways. With a sigh, there was no reason to stay there.
Once inside your room, you felt the overbearing weight of your last mission hit you like a ton of bricks. Having a habit of being reclusive after strenuous activity, the best option for you was to rest. Closing your eyes you slowly fell into a light sleep, listening to the quiet footsteps of those outside your door.
Waking up to dankness, you didn't know what to expect as the hand covered your mouth. Not even giving you the time to scream your discomfort .The persons hand was pressing down on your chest, preventing you from sitting up. Frowning at this mysterious person's control of you, they obviously hadn't meant to kill you yet. Without warning, their warm breath and moist lips were soon invading the privacy of your ear, whispering to you.
"Don't scream, and come with me" you recognized that voice by just having spoken to it not that long ago. As your eyes widened with realization, the hand left your mouth.
"Sasuke, what are you doing?"You were utterly too confused to be angry. Putting a finger to his own lips he meant to silence you.
"Come with me" never answering your question, he moved towards the door, taking your hand. "Not until you tell me what it is that you want" snatching your hand from his grasp, you crossed your arms over your chest.
"I want to show you something" he said having difficulty controlling his patience.
Looking him in the eye, you didn't doubt him you were just curious as to why. He led you down a serious of winding tunnels and wide passages, going deeper underground. "Where are you taking me?"The heat of your breath collided with the chilled air around you.
"If I told you now, then it wouldn't be much of a surprise now would it?"An amused smile came to his face. Giving up with your questions, you just decided to follow and wait. After walking a few more yards, Sasuke stopped in front of a large metal door, sealed with several locks.
"What is this and why have you brought me here?"There was an obvious reason this door was locked and you weren't sure you really wanted to find out.
"This is what I wanted to show you. It's what is behind the door that's important." Before you even had a chance to protest again, he had already begun to unlock the door. They weren't locked with any type of jutsu, but plain old lock, like what was down there wasn't too important.
A swift gust of cold air blew through your hair, sending a shiver crawling down your spine. There was darkness behind the door, darkness and fear. The scent of fear came strongly from within; you gagged as it was almost suffocating. Taking hold of your shoulder so you couldn't escape, he guided you forward into the darkness. When your eyes adjusted, you began to feel for any walls around you. Sasuke took hold of your hands, putting them by your side, but you didn't notice the solemn look that haunted his features.
Through the darkness there was a light that light up another room through a window. Feeling a bit more relaxed by the sight, you rushed to the window. The sight that met your eyes was a chilling one. Those moist lips soon found their way back to your ear to whisper words of remembrance.
"Do you remember them (y/n)? The ones you thought had abandoned you. The reason why your here now" Sasuke asked making your breath hitch in your throat.
'How does he know this?' You questioned over and over in your mind as you stood there in shock, staring at the only family you had left, the ones you'd thought had abandoned. Your two brothers Mokurou and Daichi, sat chained against a stone wall appearing lifeless of breath.
Their bodies were extremely maul nourished, and thin. "What is this?"You were almost hysterical. "Is this some kind of sick joke to get back at me for what I said?"
Your eyes glued to the two figures behind the glass. "This is no joke, (y/n). That is them, your older brothers."
"No, you lie. They disappeared!"You told yourself the explanation you had given yourself since your sibling's disappearance.
"You know this is them" he quietly. Tears leaked from your eyes, as you watched the two seemingly lifeless bodies.
"No" you whispered turning to run from the painful sight, run and forget about these frightful images.
Before you could make it through the metal door, you ran into two strong awaiting arms. "Don't cry my dear" that snake like hiss made you catch your breath.
"Tell me this isn't true; tell me that it's not them!"you sobbed hoping to hear your answer. "Why lie to yourself, you know who they are" Orochimaru said, whipping away a few tears with false concern.
"But why, how could you do this?" "They had skills that I had a desire to use, but they had other ideas in mind. They were useless to me, until I found you. You are more valuable to me then the two of them ever were" he explained in a casual tone.
You couldn't believe what he was telling you, only feeding your growing fire. "How could you? I trusted you, how could you?"You struggled.
He let you struggle out of his grasp, looking down at you with an amused smirk. "Calm down my dear" he said reaching for your shoulder.
"Don't you touch me you bastard" you growled batting away his hand. "Don't be like that (y/n)"he mockingly pouted no longer reaching for you. "You're sick" you spat running past him. And from that night you never looked back.
