Kakuzu and Hidan found themselves arguing to one another in the Akatsuki lair, as usual. But, a very interesting bet was brought up during the quarrel about one another's bad habits.
"You couldn't live without being greedy with your stupid money!!" Hidan yelled.
"MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND!! Besides, you couldn't live without worshipping that one 'god' of yours. What was his name? Jashdumb" Kakuzu roared back.
"HIS NAME IS JASHIN!! BESIDES, IF YOU REALLY FUCKING THINK THAT I COULDN'T THEN I'LL FUCKING PROVE YOU WRONG!! I bet that if we were to not do these activities, you would be the first to crack!!"
"FINE THEN!! BUT THE PERSON TO CRACK FIRST WOULD BE YOU!!"
"NO, YOU!!"
The argument between who would end up losing first continued until Konan stepped in, stopping any fighting before it could happen. "What the heck is going on here!?" Konan asked, annoyed. Both Hidan and Kakuzu crossed their arms.
"It's about a bet. I can't be greedy nor can I even possess one dime." Kakuzu stated.
"And I can't worship the almighty Jashin. The first one to do their usual activity would lose, which will be that sack of crap over there!" Hidan said, glaring at Kakuzu.
"I see . . . so, how about a nice wager. Loser must act gay towards another member of Akatsuki, chosen by me, while dressing like a girl." Konan said. The two smirked. A chance to ridicule the other? Who would give up a chance like that?
"Deal!" Both said in unison.
"Okay. Hidan, give me your scythe and necklace. And Kakuzu, fork over the cash." Konan demanded from the two. Both whimpered as they handed away their most prized possessions. "The bet starts now." Konan said, walking away with the items.
Hidan walked through the lair, trying to find something to take his mind off of Jashin. Finding nothing, he walked into his and Kakuzu's room to maybe take a rest. Bad idea. Symbols that symbolized Jashin hung above the headboard of his bed and along the wall. He quickly walked out, slamming the door.
Hidan's next trip was to the kitchen. What better to take his mind off of things other than food? He opened the refrigerator door and looked for something. Suddenly, he saw it. There was a bowl of anchovies, dried fish skins, and onions, the food that was supposed to be eaten for lunch for a person that worshipped Jashin like he did. He slammed the fridge door shut and then walked to the pantry.
Within the pantry, Hidan found a bag of regular chips that had nothing to do with Jashin. He sat at the table and then opened the bag. He peered into it and felt guilty. Slowly, he reached his hand into the bag and pulled out a chip. He stared at it for a while, worried. He shook his head.
"Get a hold of yourself, Hidan, it's just a chip," Hidan stated, slowly bringing the chip closer to his mouth, "just a chip . . ."
Almost touching his teeth, Hidan quickly whipped the chip away and threw it across the room, along with the bag. He didn't want to betray Jashin.
I'd rather starve, Hidan thought angrily as he exited the kitchen.
Pein walked in the kitchen shortly after, determined to get something to eat, but he saw chips spread out across the floor. He sighed.
"Why must I put up with them . . ." Pein said, grabbing a broom.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu had started out fine. Well, until he got thirsty. He walked into the kitchen to grab a bottle of lemonade from the fridge. Seeing that there was no lemonade, he shrugged, and then looked for tea. No tea either. Lemonade and tea were the only drinks he would drink. Remembering the drink machine by the entrance of the lair, he walked out of the kitchen.
He got to the machine and saw that there was only one lemonade left, and that last one was his. He reached into his pocket to get some money for the machine but there was a problem.
He had no money.
"You've got to be kidding me!!" Kakuzu said, kicking the machine. He folded his arms and started to walk away but he stopped when he heard Tobi walk into the hideout. Parched from his last assignment, he got out some money, put it in the machine, and got out the lemonade. He drank alot of it and then waved to Kakuzu as he passed him.
"Bye, Kakuzu-san!" Tobi said, when leaving.
"DARN IT!!" Kakuzu picked up the machine and then smashed it. He walked away, fuming.
"Time to get a drink!!" Pein sang out, walking to the machine. He got out some money and then held it up to put it into the machine but there was no machine. He looked down and saw the shattered remains of it. His eyes opened wide. "NO!! MY DRINKS!!" Pein cried, going to get another broom.
At 4:00 p.m. Hidan and Kakuzu were lounging in the living room, along with Konan.
"So, how's the bet going?" Konan asked, intrigued.
"Horrible." both sighed.
"I refuse to eat this food that we have!!" Hidan complained.
"I can't drink anything because I can't buy anything, nor steal any drinks because that's greedy to you." Kakuzu complained as well.
"Well, why don't you just forfeit? You wouldn't have to suffer not doing your favorite activities anymore." Konan stated.
"HECK NO!!" they retorted. Then a thought popped into both of their heads.
What if I just tease him, forcing him to give up? The two thought, smirking devilishly.
"Wow . . . what a sharp scythe," Kakuzu said, taking it from Konan along with the necklace, which he put on, "what's that Jashin? You want me to stab myself? Okay, I want to be loyal to you. I know you don't hate me." Kakuzu took the sharp blade and slit his arm. "Oooh, if feels so . . . good." Kakuzu teased. Hidan stared at the pleasure making scythe that Jashin wanted to cut himself with.
Hidan took the money from Konan's hand and started to smell it. "Oh, the sweet smell of cash . . . ooh, I can't wait to spend it all!" Hidan teased back. Kakuzu froze.
D . . . D . . . Don't! Kakuzu thought, dropping the scythe.
"Well, it is my money . . . unless someone wants to claim it." Hidan stated, smirking while holding the money out in front of Kakuzu's face. Kakuzu drooled at the sight of the money held in front of his eyes. He shook his head to snap out of the trance and then quickly picked up the scythe.
"Jashin!! I know how much you love me!! And I know that you hate Hidan for not worshipping you anymore!" Kakuzu teased greater, cutting his chest not too deep but deep enough to bleed. He could always heal those cuts later, it didn't really matter.
"Grr . . . I'M NOING TO FUCKING BED!!" Hidan screamed, stomping off as he threw the money behind him, he wasn't going to stand for it anymore.
Seeing the money hit the ground angered Kakuzu so he threw off Hidan's necklace and started to swing the scythe violently. Konan walked out before to escape the attack. After, he threw the scythe to the ground and stated, "I'm going too!" Kakuzu walked angrily to his room.
"Ugh . . . I need a rest after cleaning up those messes, I really should get a maid or something," Pein said, slowly walking down a hallway, "I'll just sit down in the living room for a bit." Pein walked into the living room and saw the huge mess.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Pein yelled. He grabbed a third broom and started to sweep the shreds from the couch. "This is so unfair . . . I'm the leader . . . I shouldn't have to clean this up!!" Pein cried as he did the job.
