That night Hidan slept like a rock. Kakuzu should know. He slept on him. Kakuzu didn't mind at all though. He didn't mind because he got to wake the zealot up! Of course, you could probably picture this in your head. If not, I'll explain.

Kakuzu woke up early like always. He saw Hidan sleeping still and content. That had to change. Kakuzu picked Hidan up bridal style while getting up himself. He then dropped Hidan onto the ground. As you can imagine, Hidan woke up and was not happy.

"What the fuck was that for?" Hidan yelled.

"Time to get up." Kakuzu smirked.

"Well, you could have just fucking yelled at me to get up instead of fucking dropping me!" Hidan screamed.

Kakuzu didn't respond now. Hidan got angry, just what Kakuzu wanted. "You gonna' fuckin' answer me?" Hidan asked, irritated. Kakuzu stayed silent, now smirking under his mask. Hidan getting more and more irritated by the second. "Kakuzu! Ka-fucking-kuzu! Answer me!" Hidan smacked Kakuzu with his shoe. Kakuzu grabbed a nearby rock and threw it at Hidan. "Don't throw your shoe at me." Kakuzu glared.

Hidan walked over to Kakuzu and slapped him. Kakuzu, being the mean person he is, punched Hidan. Very hard. Hidan was thrown into a tree from the force. He grabbed his nose in pain. He pulled his hand away to look at his hand. It was covered in blood.

"Thanks a lot asswipe." Hidan glared.

Kakuzu sighed and walked over to the boy. He held out his hand to help him up. Hidan ignored the offer and got up himself.

"Your supposed to hold the brigde of your nose if you want to stop the bleeding." Kakuzu stated blandly.

Hidan ignored him and began to pack his stuff. Kakuzu looked over to the boy in interest. "What are you doing?" Kakuzu asked. "I'm packing dumb ass." Hidan responded. Kakuzu gave a weird and shocked look. "Why?" Kakuzu wondered if the boy would answer with what he thought. "'Cause were criminals dumb ass. We can't stay in one spot or we'll get caught for sure." Hidan said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You sound as if you've been running your whole life." Kakuzu almost sounded concerned. Hidan didn't respond.

"What's he matter? Did I hit a soft spot?" Kakuzu teased.

"What the fuck do you care? You don't care about me! So get out of my fucking personal life!" Hidan ranted.

"Hidan, if your going to be traveling with me, then your going to have to tell me about yourself. 'Kay." Kakuzu reasoned.

"... fine. But only if you tell me yours." Hidan held his hand out to shake Kakuzu's.

"Fine, but not right now. I sense tracker nin on our tail." Kakuzu said, picking up his and Hidan's stuff.

They started at a running pace to distance themselves from the ninja, but knowing Hidan, he started to bitch about being tired, so they slowed down. "Hey! Fuck-face! Wait for me!" Hidan yelled from a distance. Kakuzu stopped to wait. When Hidan finally caught up he yelled at Kakuzu for, quote being a fucking fast asshole unquote.

"So, where do you want me to start?" Hidan said, not really wanted to talk about the subject.

"What do you mean?" Kakuzu wondered, forgetting about the matter altogether.

"Nevermind." Hidan said, getting lost in his thoughts.

"*sigh* Start from how you got kicked out of your village. Then anything else I should know about." Kakuzu said.

"'Kay." Hidan said, getting ready to tell his painful story.

It all started a long time ago on my 7Th birthday. Everybody was gathered because I was turning the age of what my village called a man. So, everything was fine 'till I started to open my presents. There was only one. It was a present from my mom. She had died the previous month, so I was eager to open it. I tore the paper to shreds and opened the box quickly. I pulled out a rosary that was a circle with an upside-down triangle in the middle. My family looked at the necklace in shock and horror. I put it on before anyone could warn me about the powers of the rosary. I slipped it over my head and ran to show my dad. He backed away from me, terrified. He called me a monster and attacked me. Out of fear, I ran. I ran far away from my village hoping to never return and see them again.

After about 3 years, I got a bounty placed on me. Men and women alike came to kill me. I swiftly avoided all but one of them. He was a dumbass, he thought I was a fucking girl! He sid he would kill me. So, like I did always, I ran. He was different though. He was able to see past my illusions and he was a lot wiser than the other ones. He ended up cornering me. I was happy that he was going to kill me. I was just afraid of what was going to happen after I died. I closed my eyes tightly so I couldn't see the man kill me. The next thing I knew, there was a peircing pain right through my throat. After a few seconds, I opened my eyes so I could see what had happened to my body. But I was still alive and the man was cowering by a tree. He feared me too. That was when I found out I was immortal.

It sucked. So, I ran from the world and ended up passing out from running too much. Then, I saw you fighting off those gaurds and got the wonderful idea to follow you around. I mean, you're like me.

A freak.

Hidan leaned his head on Kakuzu's side and intertwined his fingers with Kakuzu's. Kakuzu blushed at this act, but in his 'kindness', he wrapped his arm around Hidan and pulled him closer. Hidan nuzzled his head into Kakuzu's side.

"You're warm." Hidan whispered to himself.

Kakuzu started to slow down until he came to a complete stop. He twirled around to look in the opposite direction. He glared at the emptiness the wood contained. He scowled at the road.

"What's wrong?" Hidan asked.

"The tracker nin are right on our-" Kakuzu started.

He was suddenly interrupted by a fist to the face. He was thrown back from the force. He rubbed his head and looked up to see who commited the act. It was none other than the famous Sakure. She had a different look on her face. It was more of a sad look than a goofy or upset look that she usually wore.

"Nice to see ya' Uncle 'Kuzu." Sakure smirked.

Hidan came from the shadows and attacked Sakure. She easily side stepped his attack. He fell to the ground in spite of his act. Sakure bent over and picked up the kid from his shirt. Hidan kicked and screamed for Kakuzu to come and save him, but Kakuzu knew of Sakure's powers and that she was using that jutsu. It wouldn't be long until she had to run to get more chakra.

"Hey dickhead! Save me!" Hidan screamed.

"Aw! He's so cute 'Kuzu! Where'd you find him? ... is he precious to you?" Sakure smirked at this thought.

The masked man scowled at this terrible woman. What was happening? Why was Sakure now doing this? What was going on with Kira? Kakuzu knew now what he had to do. He had to save Hidan. Sakure had obviously grown in power. She could last hours now instead of minutes with this jutsu. Crap.

"KAKUZU! SAVE ME ASSHOLE!" Hidan now screamed with a hint of tearer in his voice.

"Yeah Uncle 'Kuzu, save him. Just try." Sakure got a devious smile on her face.

"..."

"KAKUZU!"

"..."

"Kakuzu!"

"..."

"Ka... kuzu."

"'Kuzu?"

"KATON!"

A big blast of energy shot from Kakuzu. Hidan was also caught in the blast. Sakure was thrown into a nearby rock. She was knocked unconcious for the time being. Kakuzu walked over to Hidan who had, also, fallen unconcious. Kakuzu bent down next to his still body. He stroked the zealots hair from his eyes. Kakuzu picked Hidan up gently, making sure he didn't hurt the albino, and carried him bridal style. Kakuzu walked off, trying to get as far away from Sakure as he could at the moment.

"Kuzu?" Hidan mumbled out, tossing in Kakuzu's arms.

He was having a nightmare again. Just like before. Kakuzu shifted Hidan into a position like a mother holding a baby. He patted the zealots back and shushed him. Hidan smiled slightly and wrapped his arms around the taller mans neck. Kakuzu continued on, now running. He could sense Sakure's chakra awakening. This was not a good sign.

Kakuzu found a nearby waterfall. Everybody (except for Sakure) knows that if there's a waterfall, there's a cave. Kakuzu quickly flew across the water. He jumped through the waterfall only to find a cave. Kakuzu dropped to the floor. He was exhausted. His thoughts running through his head. They ranged from 'Is Hidan traumatized from his childhood experience?' to 'Why are Sakure and Sasune doing this?' Everything was confusing. Kakuzu layed against the wall, still holding the sleeping zealot. Kakuzu held Hidan tight in his grasp and drifted to sleep.

Kakuzu had to do two things now.

1. Find Kira and find out what Sakure and Sasune were doing.

and

2. Protect Hidan.
