"Is this the place, un?" A blond asked as he gazed at the mansion that was vaguely hidden by the trees before him. It seemed to be early fall due to the chilly breeze that blew every so often.
"NO SHIT SHERLOCK! WHEN THE FUCKING WORLD SAID BLONDS ARE FUCKING STUPID THEY WEREN'T FUCKING KIDDING!" An albino screeched, "STOP BEING STUPID BLONDIE!"
"Hidan, you don't have to be so mean to me, un." The blond pouted, "Considering you were the one who bothered us the most to come here the most, un."
"FUCK OFF DEIDARA!" The albino now Identified as Hidan roared.
"Shut up both of you!" A redhead snapped.
"But Sasori-Danna~" the blond whined to the redhead.
"No buts, I mean it, brat." The redhead now identified as Sasori retorted in a lazy tone.
"Seriously Sasori, Couldn't you have kept that to yourself?" A masked man with tan skin shook his head.
"Kakuzu, mind your own business. I can say whatever I want, when I want and to whoever I want, you can't-"
"Quiet all of you!" a pierced carrot top who appeared as there leader snapped.
"LISTEN TO LEADER-PEIN-SAMA! TOBI IS A GOOD BOY SO EVERYONE SHOULD BE QUIET LIKE TOBI AND BE A GOOD BOY!" A lollypop masked idiot shouted as loud as he could.
"Tobi!" the group shouted simultaneously. They all made a shushing motion for the masked nin to shut up.
"Tobi is sorry!" Tobi shouted loudly.
"For the love of god-" a blunette sighed.
"It's fucking Jashin you damned heathen bitch!" Hidan flipped off the lady and turned around with his arms folded.
"Someone's PMSing," the blunette murmured, "AND IT'S KONAN NOT HEATHEN BITCH!"
"I'll call you whatever the fuck I want!" The albino turned around and was about to let out a stream of curses but was stopped by an odd familiar sound. Everyone turned to face a large willow tree.
"Who's there?" a familiar voice shouted from behind the willow.
"It's us, un." Deidara replied.
"Us who?" the voice retorted sarcastically. Another click sound was heard.
"Us, the Akatsuki bitch!" Hidan shouted as he took a few steps towards the tree," Yukiko, you bitch, you can't fucking trick us anymore!"
"Hah ha, I knew it was you guys when I heard the loud bickering!" A tall girl wearing a pair of faded jeans and a red hoodie stepped out from behind the tree. Dark brown hair that was almost black framed her face. In one hand, she had a shotgun; she waved with her free hand at the group. "I haven't seen you guys in over a year! What brings you to this part of the universe?"
"We're here to visit." Pein announced, "We caused a great deal of trouble to you girls and came to repay our gratitude. That and a certain Jashinist and blonde kept on bothering us to come here."
"HEY!" said albino and blonde screeched.
"Eventually we gave in, decided to visit since we had nothing better to do." Pein finished his long explanation.
"So basically, you missed us so much that you wasted your chakra-thingy to come and visit us." Yukiko concluded.
"That's not what I-"
"Oh can it, I know you missed us since we missed you guys too." The girl laughed and waved them over to follow her. The group followed behind as Yukiko led them to a small clearing that is known as the mansions backyard. Soon they appeared at the mansion's back door. Yukiko turned the knob and led the group inside. The smell of various condiments and spices erupted from the kitchen that the backdoor led to. A girl taller than Yukiko stood in the kitchen, a yellow apron that said 'Aoi owns this~' was around her waist. She wore a pair of dim jeans with a rolled up purple shirt. She had dark skin and short black hair that was pulled into a scruffy ponytail. Her wide eyes gazed at the group with a mixture of surprise, delight and hidden sadness.
"Akiko, how you been?" Kakuzu greeted the girl. Akiko dropped the serving spoon she held in her hand and took a few steps towards the group.
Akiko POV
I can't believe my eyes… before me stand the Akatsuki once more. This must be a dream but Yukiko seems to see them too. How am I going to tell them that-
"EARTH TO Akiko," Yukiko shouted in my ear. I jumped slightly and glared at my friend. Sometimes she can be an idiot. I noticed the gun in her hand and lifted my arms up showing I'm not armed. Yukiko noticed this and put the gun away in the bottom pantry.
"Aki-"
"I MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH!" I jumped into the person closest to me, which happened to be Itachi. The raven glared at me so I jumped on to Kisame and proceeded to give them all hugs. The group moved away from me after I had finished hugging them.
"Come on don't be strangers and come inside!" I exclaimed tugging on Kisame's hand and leading him to them to the living room. The Akatsuki followed behind Kisame and I, a smile was plastered on Yukiko's face as she followed me too. Hana and Momo came down the stairs. Hana saw the group and jumped/hugged them the way I had done. Momo just stood with a sad expression on her face. The sad expression could only mean one thing.
"Where the fuck is the little shorty?" Hidan questioned as he took a glance around the room.
"She's sleeping." Yukiko smoothly lied. I looked around to see a variety of calm faces and one annoyed one.
Hidan POV
"Sleeping, I know she can get fucking tired but you fuckers just let her fucking sleep in the middle of the fucking day?" I snapped as I headed to the staircase.
"NO!" shouted Hana. Everyone turned to face the girl waiting for an explanation.
"What the fuck do you mean no? I can go fucking see her if I fucking want to!" I protested.
"Hidan," Yukiko called for my attention. A glared at her and noticed a sad expression on her face. Something tells me this isn't going to be good.
"Hidan, Aoi is…" Yukiko looked down at her feet and sighed.
"She's what?" I demanded.
"She's in a coma." Akiko finished for the tall brunette. I felt my heart sink, an empty feeling started to overcome my chest. A dark feeling like no other I felt before. What is this feeling? What is it?
"W-what?" I let out a choked gasp. Everyone stared at me with pity smeared across his or her face. I growled and ran up the stairs, my destination: her room. I pushed the door open and took in the sight of Aoi's bed; I looked from left to right frantically searching for my girl. Where is she? Where can she be? The room was empty aside from Aoi's furniture and me. I tore at the bed coverings hoping to find her under them but she was not there. I flipped over the mattress and looked under the bed coverings but she was not there. A felt panic run through my body as I entered her bathroom in a hurry, again she was not there. I felt eyes on me but I do not care. I don't care as long as I find her!
"Hidan," someone called my name but it seemed so distant to me. My mind blank and I slumped forward onto my knees. A cold hand pressed on my back; I turned my head slightly and saw Pein. Our supposed-to- fear leader had a soft look on his face.
"Hidan," he called my name softly. It was meant as a way of comfort but it seemed more a command for me. "Get up," Pein held his hand out to me. I took it hesitantly and got up to my feet. That's when I noticed the mess I had made. The looks on everyone's faces clearly read concern.
"Where is she?" I growled looking at the group.
"She's-"
"WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?" I screeched loudly. Pein held me back from launching at the group.
"S-She's in the medical room I have set up here." Akiko mumbled, "I'll take you to her." Akiko motioned for me to follow her and walked out of the bathroom. I followed behind her like a magnet and the others followed behind us cautiously. I think I did some good and bad by having a mental breakdown…. Well that doesn't fucking matter because now I get to see her. Akiko led me up to the third floor; we passed both of the art rooms and the meeting room. The guide took a left at the end of the hall and opened the second door on my right. She opened the door slowly and walked into the room.
I took a slow step forward and stopped to take in the room. Many machines and cabinets filled with Jashin knows what were expertly decorating the room. A lone bead with a small figure was pushed against the nearest window. A machine, which I identified as a heart rate reader, was next to the bed followed by a small faded wood nightstand. I took slow steps towards the bed dreading what I have to see. I closed my eyes and let my feet lead me. Soon my shins bumped against something, I slowly opened my eyes and stared downwards.
Aoi's face was calm, not a trace of pain could be seen. She seemed so peaceful like when she is asleep. Her left arm was out of the covers with needles pushed into her arm. A small rectangular-shaped white object was placed on her ring finger. Her right hand was underneath the covers. Her breathing could not be heard over the slight hum and beep of the machines. The rise and fall of her chest was the only thing that signified she was alive and breathing. A stood there motionless, my reason for being here, my love in a coma before my eyes.
Pein POV
Hidan stood motionlessly in front of the bed. His body did not move and inch at all. Seeing how sad he currently is and how bad the situation is, this must be painful for him. I always hate seeing my subordinates in pain. Only I can cause them the pain they need to feel. It is not right for Hidan to face this situation all alone. We traveled here because of him, just to find this. I sighed and started walking towards the albino. I placed my hand on his shoulder and he visibly tensed.
"Pein?" he questioned almost unsure of himself. His voice sounded cracked as if he wanted to cry and nothing more. But Hidan is strong and will not show any tears. He has not ever cried once since I met him. I looked down at Aoi; the poor girl was on life support. She seemed awfully pale and weak compared to how pale she usually was.
"Yes it's me, what is it Hidan?" I answered finally. Hidan slipped onto the floor and grabbed Aoi's free hand from underneath the covers. I watched as his body started to tremble lightly. Soon his shoulder shook very violently and he out a loud snarl. A whimper was heard and Hidan cried for the first time since I met him. I went on to my knees and placed my arms around the 22-year-old Jashinist. Warm arms wrapped around the both of us, I tilted my head and saw Konan hugging us. Tears were threatening to spill from her eyes. Deidara as hugging Sasori as the sight of his best friend crying struck a string for him. Itachi gazed down at the scene briefly, a clearly sad expression was etched across his face. He quickly turned around and left the room. Kisame ran after his partner. Zetsu and Tobi disappeared a while ago, most likely finding the situation annoying.
Yukiko turned and ran out of the room, tears were already pouring from her eyes. I guess she just can't stand the sight of her best friend in any sort of pain. I guess she's just like me and wants to protect them all, to make them never have to deal with the world and the evil hands of death, to protect them, their innocence and their souls. We're not that different than I thought. I pulled Hidan into a tight hug as Kakuzu crouched down next to his partner. Hana and Momo had left the room in search of Yukiko. They had cried too. Now the only ones left in this room were Hidan, Konan, Sasori, Deidara, Akiko, Kakuzu, Aoi and I. I don't know if Aoi counted as a member considering she is practically dead. The only thing keeping her alive now is the life support.
After a few minutes, Hidan stopped sobbing. His eyes were puffy and he had a pitiful expression on his face. Deidara and Sasori had retired to Sasori's old room. Kakuzu had gone to fetch Hidan some water and to check on the others. Konan stood next to Akiko who was examining Aoi's latest charts. The silence in the room was deafening.
"How is she?" Hidan questioned breaking the silence. His voice cracked a few times as he spoke the short sentence.
"Better than she has in a week, her heart's gaining strength again." Akiko responded.
"How long has she been… in a coma?" I was surprised to hear the Jashinist say two sentences without cursing once.
"A month," the brunette answered.
"FUCK, A FUCKING MONTH AND YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER?" It was too good to be true. Akiko shook her head slightly.
"We haven't found out yet but we will, maybe she'll wake up soon." The girl mumbled. Konan nodded reassuringly.
"Hidan, don't worry she's strong and you know it." I added to reassure the albino, "she'll wake up soon, I can feel it." Hidan simply crossed his arms and pulled a nearby chair next to Aoi's hospital bed. He grabbed her hand and laid his head down on her chest.
Hidan POV
I felt the steady rise and fall of Aoi's chest. Her peaceful expression signified bliss but knowing her, she was nowhere near happy. These fools don't understand. They don't understand the pain. And I showed myself so fucking weakly in front of them… Aoi only you can do this to someone as strong as me.
"Hidan, do you want to be alone?" Pein's voice sounded from behind me.
"Fuck yeah." And with that response, the sound of feet and a door opening and closing was heard. I was all alone in this room with the only girl who will truly understand me in a coma.
"I wish you were immortal." I mumbled before drifting off into a sleep filled with dreams of my sweetheart.
Sorry it took so long to make but I needed it to be epic and I had to think of a good plot for this. So do you like?
