His eyes.

The most gorgeous shade of purple I'd ever seen. And the way his hair is sprawled out after he wakes up is adorable. His mouth may not be that cleanest, and he may curse like a sailor, but he always manages to make me smile. Under my mask that is. When he gets that goofy smile on his face, my heart (or should I say my hearts) does this weird…. Pitter-patter type thing. He can be annoying. And there are days I want to strangle him….

But I love him.

I'm not sure how my love for him started, or why. I think it was our first mission together. It might've been the way he was able to talk the whole time. Or it might have been, when we'd stop to picnic (his idea because he can't seem to go 5 minutes without food), how he laughed, and the way he'd make me eat if I didn't want anything. Like it was his job to take care of me. Although I almost choked once before. Even when he complains, I fall in love with him even more.

I lay down in our room, staring at the ceiling. Today was Saturday, my 'relaxation' day. I say 'relaxation' like that because it was almost inhumanly possible to relax here at the Akatsuki. I could hear Tobi screaming in the other room, along with Deidara. How could Deidara deal with him? The kid was so annoying. I wonder if they've broken anything yet…. I shook the thought out of my head. Relax… I thought to myself. I sighed, closing my eyes and eventually drifting off to sleep.

We were laying in my bed, my arms wrapped protectively around him.

"Kakuzu-Chan…" he said sleepily. "I want to tell you something…"

He turned around, his face close to mine. I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes?" I asked.

He leaned in close, kissing me. "I think I… love you"

I woke up to someone yelling and pouring water on me.

"WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP!"

I sat up abruptly as the ice water soaked into my sheets and clothes. I growled, getting out of bed and glaring into his purple eyes.

"What do you want Hidan." I snapped.

He smirked at me and stuck out his tongue. Was it me, or was he flirting?

"Dinner time, baka." He replied as he walked out.

After dinner I collected the dirty dishes and went into the kitchen. It was my night to clean up… along with Hidan. I sighed, filling up the sink with water as Hidan shot a boatload of soap into it, creating a ton of bubbles. I grabbed the soap from Hidan's hand and glared at him.

"More soap means less money. Less soap means more money. Any questions?"

"Yea. Why the fuck are so obsessed with money?"

"Why are so obsessed with a god that doesn't exist?"

Hidan stiffened. I'd struck a chord I hadn't meant to. I mentally beat myself up. Why did I always lose my temper like that? I'm just giving him more reasons to hate me. I turned my back towards him and started scrubbing a plate. I felt something hard slam into my shoulder, making me grit my teeth in pain. Hidan had punched me. We worked on the dishes in silence after that.

After we finished washing up the kitchen I headed to our room. I was reading one of my books when I heard a knock at the door. I ignored it. Everyone knew I didn't like to be disturbed on Saturdays. The knock came again, harder.

"What." I hissed.

Hidan barged into the room and shut the door behind him.

"Kakuzu… I need to fucking talk to you…"

"Be quick about it. I'm trying to enjoy myself and seeing your face isn't helping."

Hidan slapped the book from my hands and crawled on top of me. In an instant his lips crashed against mine. I blinked. Was he drunk? No, he couldn't be. That goes against his religion. High? No, that goes against his religion as well. Was it possible he actually had feelings for me?
