Hello everybody!
this will be a short-ish story... ummm i am not sure where I am headed with this tbh. I wrote this at 5 am when I could not sleep and was looking through the fanfics out there about Hidan and I felt that I wanted to add more to the existing list. oh, and please forgive any grammar and spelling mistakes! I was too excited to post this that I did not edit it lol
I was planning this as a one-shot but I kinda thought that it definitely needed more than one chapter (and more time for me to think up the upcoming events).
Please enjoy and REVIEW! I would really appreciate the input (whether positive or not - there is always something to learn).
Ps. I just listed my other story on hiatus. I have not updated in a few months because of school work and a hectic schedule. I need to revisit the story and see what I had planned for it since I kinda forgot =(
Disclaimer: I do not own Nature or any of the characters (as of far).
Again, Enjoy and REVIEW!
Kakuzu had just gotten back from a solo mission. These missions were a blessing because they allowed him the rare opportunity of peace and quiet away from his annoying partner, Hidan. As of late – precisely since the annoying young man became his partner a few months ago – Kakuzu has been wishing for either of two things: a way to silence his immortal partner for good, or a few more solo missions away from said immortal. This was one of those rare missions and unfortunately for Kakuzu, it has come to an end.
He made his way through the quiet Akatsuki hideout hallways. Apart from Hidan, Tobi and Deidara, the rest of the Akatsuki members kept to themselves and would never cause a racket – except for the occasionally drunk Kisame. The hideout seemed eerily quiet for Kakuzu's ears which meant that all three noise makers were off somewhere on a mission or running errands for the leader. However, Kakuzu knew that his partner could not have been sent on a solo mission in his absence nor would the "almighty" priest step off his pedestal to run errands for their leader. Kakuzu did not have to waste a second contemplating where his partner could be because Hidan, if not running around him and testing his patience, would be out for some ritualistic sacrifices for his god, Jashin.
He silently made his way into the large meeting room where his leader would surely be waiting for a report. He reached the doors allowing access into the room and knocked waiting for the permission to venture inside. Moments later, Pein's voice travelled through the doors ordering Kakuzu to go inside.
Eager to report on his mission and head for a much needed shower and rest, Kakuzu quickly made his way inside and made a beeline for the desk which Pein was comfortably sitting behind. The ginger-head beckoned Kakuzu to take a seat which Kakuzu complied with a moment later.
He quickly reported the results of his missions and the complications he had faced. Happy with his report, Kakuzu made to stand up and leave the room when Pein's voice halted his movement,
"Kakuzu," Pein's voice echoed. The Akatsuki leader had a godly voice that, according to one of Hidan's rude remarks, did not suit his average physique.
"Yes, Leader-Sama?"
"I do not think you will be too pleased when you get to Hidan's and your bedroom."
"Why is that, Leader-Sama?" Kakuzu asked, eyes narrowing, sure that his partner has done something to piss him off yet again,
"What did he break this time?"
"Nothing," Pein replied calmly. He paused for a second then decided to tell the miser what he was headed for,
"Hidan, he is sick," he paused, waiting for Kakuzu's reaction.
Kakuzu could have sworn he had seen the leader smirking for a brief moment after spilling the beans. Sometimes, Kakuzu had the creeping suspicion that their leader got off of the drama some of the Akatsuki members caused – mostly Hidan and himself always arguing and getting into fights resulting in severe physical damage for Hidan. What made it even more worth it for the sadistic leader was that Hidan and Kakuzu were both immortal, which meant he did not have to worry about losing valuable subordinates.
Kakuzu sighed loudly. He was shocked to say the least, however he was not going to grace his leader with a physical reaction apart from an annoyed sigh. He did not think that Hidan could ever get sick; the man's body healed itself from the most severe of wounds within minutes if not seconds. How the annoying immortal could get sick was beyond Kakuzu's imagination.
Then again, he had noticed that the younger immortal man was particularly sensitive to cold temperatures – always whining about being cold even when Kakuzu himself was sweating. Stupid Hidan and his rituals always draining him of his blood – and staining Kakuzu's valuables almost too many times for it to be just an accident as Hidan had claimed.
Kakuzu paused his inner rant for a second, eyes visibly widening for a split second. He began questioning himself: why had he noticed what Hidan was sensitive to? Was he actually paying attention to the little brat? Oh no, no, no!
He was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts by Pein's hand motioning for him to leave the room. Kakuzu wanting to waste no more time in the presence of the leader quickly made his way for the exit when he was halted – much to his disappointment – as soon as he had opened the door enough to slip through by Pein's commanding voice,
"Take care of him, Kakuzu."
And that was it. Kakuzu made his way for their shared bedroom with a cloud of disappointment and anger looming over his figure. His excitement for his shower and rest long forgotten.
