This chapter is rated T (PG-13 ) for swearing.
This story is set in the beginning of the time skip, about six months after Naruto leaves to train under Jiraiya. Deidara is 17, Itachi is 19, and Hidan is 21 (I just thought I'd like to point that out). His sister will turn 18 soon (she's a little older than Deidara, see).
I know this chapter's a little short and probably crap-tastic. Well, it's a freaking introduction, people! Just bear with me until the real action starts! *takes a deep breath* Okay, here we go:
One day ago
"Kakuzu!" Hidan sang. "Kaku-zooooo!"
Kakuzu scowled behind his mask but kept quiet. He tried to ignore him, just like he had for the past two hours. All of a sudden his new irritating partner's voice turned all whiny.
"Kakuzu! I'm hungry! Can't we stop, for God's sake?"
He grumbled something unintelligable under his breath. That goddamn Leader just had to pair him with that whiny, bitchy, bratty, stupid, moronic, idiotic, self-centered, diptard. He swore to himself the moment he was forced to be alone with Hidan in order for them to "Make friends" that he'd have Leader's head. And he'd sell it, too.
"Goddamn, my feet are killing me! Can we stop now? Kakuzu! Kakuzu! Kaku-zooooo! Ugh, I'm tired! Goddamn, you're still a heathen! I'd sacrifice your ass if I could! Convert! Kakuzu, convert, I say! You're soul is damned forever – unless you convert! ...Hey, I'm hungry. ... Kakuzu, you diptard, we're lost, aren't we? ... Hey, hey, hey! Convert! Kakuzu! You're a total dumbass, you know that? Convert, goddammit!"
Kakuzu whirled around in an attempt to round house kick the blabbering masochist. Hidan easily blocked it with his scythe. Dammit, the kid's got moves.
"Hidan, shut up or I'll kill you!" Kakuzu threatened.
Hidan only pouted. "But I'm starving, Kakuzu-chan! You don't want me to starve, do you?" Oh, so he was going to play that old trick, was he? Well, Kakuzu surely wasn't going to fall for it!
Before Kakuzu could attempt to sock his companion in the face, he suddenly felt light headed. Oh, great. Leader's calling.
Hidan was relieved to sit down, but he wasn't so happy about having to talk to Leader so soon. Come on, they were still a couple dozen miles away! He really didn't want to hear Leader-sama bitch about being "God" for three hours.
Leader made sure that their meeting would be brief. He waited patiently for all of the holograms to appear. "Another new person is joining," he announced. "They'll be hear tomorrow morning. Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara, and Sasori, hurry the Hell up because everyone must be here to greet 'em. Dismissed."
Just like that Hidan and Kakuzu's eyes snapped open. Leader didn't even give them a chance to protest! What the Hell was with that?
Hidan opened his mouth to complain, but Kakuzu shot him a death glare. "You heard Leader-sama; we gotta hurry."
Hidan's stomach growled. "Yeah, could we –?"
In the blink of an eye Kakuzu managed to punch Hidan in the stomach. "Shut up!"
Hidan glared at Kakuzu evily, clutching his bruised stomach. It wasn't the fact that it hurt – because it hurt good – but the fact that that old piece of shit thinks that he's in charge here! Why, he oughtta –
"Hurry up!"
Hidan mumbled but grudgingly chased after his partner. He already hated this new member!
