Chapter 2 is here, have no fears! Yeah...Um...¬¬ Also if you guys didn't notice, Hidan talking about immortality in the beginning of the first chapter, that was kinda like Hoshi's perspective of it (from Of Puppets and Love). Just thought I'd point that out. Enjoy reading this weird chapter?
Hidan
"I have a way...for you to go back..." she whispered.
My eyes widened, "H-how?"
"My uncle's building a time machine...maybe, you could use it. To get back to your time."
✰*•˛❤˛•*✰
Hidan
"R-really? Will it actually work?" my mouth hung open.
She shrugged, "My uncle's a scientist, a really smart one at that. So probably would."
"Wait...why would he even build a time machine...?" I asked.
"I don't know actually. He never answers me when I ask him that." her eyes fell.
"Oh," I looked at a clock; seems like we've been talking for hours, "Hey...shouldn't you be gettin' home by now? It's already 3:48."
Her eyes immediately shot open, "Really? Oh God. Umm...where do you live?"
Now it was my turn to feel embarrassed, "At a hotel..."
She cocked an eyebrow, "A hotel...?"
"I harras- I mean...persuaded the manager to let me live there for free."
She sighed, "Wanna live with me for the time being?"
"What? Wouldn't your uncle mind that you're living with a boy?"
"Well he doesn't really care, and if you try anything...," she chuckled darkly, sending chills up my spine, "you'll die, immortal or not."
I lowered my eyelids, "Hai hai..."
✰*•˛❤˛•*✰
Akane
"So, what's your name?" I asked as we strolled down the almost empty streets of the dark city.
"Hidan," he closed his eyes, "Yours?"
"Akane."
After a few moments of silence, I finally asked him a question that was pounding over and over in my head.
"What's it like? To be immortal?"
The sounds of echoing footsteps suddenly stopped to a halt. I looked back, Hidan's purplish eyes were open once again. They were clouded with darkness, with thunderstorms and lightning. His teeth met his lips, pressing down on the flesh. His arms came down, one stuffed itself in his pocket while another played with this silver necklace that I didn't notice until now. The metal glinted when it reflected the streetlights, the design was a circle with an upside-down triangle in it. Then he put it down, leaving it hanging down his neck, and began walking. I started to follow him, not saying another word. He surprised me when he spoke again.
"It's...a curse."
"A curse?" I repeated.
He nodded and continued, "Tell me...do you love your uncle?"
I nodded slowly.
"Imagine him dying in front of your eyes. Over 10 times. And you just stand there, not being able to do anything to save him."
I clutched my heart, so is this how he felt?
"You don't want to feel this pain over and over again. So you isolate yourself from society, never making friends. Being so alone in this crowded world. Heh, ain't that ironic?" he smirked.
This only made me frown deeper. Smiling and trying to laugh it off just to hide his pain. Soon we reached my house. I took out my keys and inserted them into the keyhole. When I opened the door, it revealed my uncle holding a phone in his hands.
I lifted up my hand in a form of a wave, "Yo."
He frantically ran up to me, shaking me by the shoulders till I couldn't tell which way was left or right.
"Where were you? My God Akane, if you're gonna do that at least call! You know I almost called the police on you! Ungrateful lil'..." he rambled on, not noticing Hidan in the background.
I just stood there, being shaken more violently than a 10.0 earthquake. Hidan just stepped forward to examine the place that he was now gonna live. After 3 minutes, my uncle was done, my hair was a mess, I was so dizzy I couldn't even stand up right, and my uncle finally realized that Hidan was standing there like a lost little boy.
"And who're you?" my uncle pushed up his glasses.
"Hidan. Nice fuckin' place you got here." he turned around to reveal him grinning.
"Ah...thank you?" Uncle blinked, "I'm Akane's uncle, Akimitsu."
"Umm...Uncle? Hidan's gonna...live with us from now on..."
Uncle's eyes widened, and then his reaction was...I'd say it was unexpected, but that'd be lying.
He grabbed Hidan's shoulders and and held them so firm his knuckles were white, "Is this true?" his hazel eyes dead serious.
Hidan cowered down, "Uhh...yessir?"
Then Uncle hugged him so tightly I heard Hidan's spine crack, "Oh thank you God! Now I have a new son!" and cried tears of joy while rainbows appeared above his head.
I snickered, a poor attempt to hide my laughter, and Hidan shot me daggers. If looks could kill...well...I'd be dead in less than a second. Just before Uncle could continue to break Hidan's back, he yawned and let go of Hidan to cover his mouth.
"Well now...seeing as how it's 4:25 a.m., I think we all deserve a good night's sleep. Hidan, you can share beds with Akane."
"What?" we both screeched in harmony, "I ain't sleeping with her/him!" we both pointed.
"Oh come now, you two are cousins now! And my son needs to get to know his cousin!" Uncle had an all too cheery expression...
"Can't I take the couch or something?" Hidan pleaded.
We all looked at the couch. It was stacked with boxes full of paper. Sweatdropping, Hidan and I both knew that option was a no-no.
"Fine..." came our echoes.
"I'ma go shower first." I glared at Hidan.
"What? It's not like you have anything to look at. OW!" I smashed my fist down on his head.
Uncle just chuckled softly in pity while rubbing his neck awkwardly. Hidan lowered himself down to a kneeling position on the floor, grasping his head. I left to go shower.
✰*•˛❤˛•*✰
Burning hot water poured down on me. Hot steam rose to the ceilings, as if it were clouds in the sky. I closed my eyes, deep in thought. I couldn't help but pity the poor albino. I pictured him in his own time, fighting with Kakuzu over something childish, like money, since Hidan described him as "the old fuckin' miser who was so obsessed with money that he'd fuck it if he could". I smirked at the thought. I was taken back from the sudden sound of an opening door. Who else other than the said albino. When he saw my appalled face, his face almost as red as my eyes.
"What the f- Damn..." he gaped and I immediately tried to used the curtain for cover.
Too bad they were transparent. I threw the closest thing I could reach at Hidan's head.
"Gah, don't look you fuckin' perv!" I tried to cover myself.
Again he bushed deep red, this time he actually obeyed.
"Why the fuck are you here?" I asked.
He turned his head back then immediately went red again, "Look the fuck AWAY!" I screamed.
"Sorry..." he mumbled sarcastically, "I came here so I could fuckin' shower."
"Didn't you remember I said I was showering?" I glared.
He craned his neck again but instantly looked back.
"Stop turning your head!"
"Well usually I'm not talking to a person while turning my head in the damn opposite direction. And besides, I was getting bored since there's nothing to do and I thought you'd be done by now. I mean, I knew girls took long to get ready and all but seriously, 1 fuckin' hour?"
"What? It's been 1 hour already...?" I couldn't believe I took this long, "Ugh get out so I can finish showering and you can have your turn."
"Fine fine," he turned and smirked, "Who knew you'd ha-"
He was hit in the head once again, this time, by the dreaded hairdryer, "Shut up!"
And he shot out of there like a race horse. I sighed and went back to showering.
✰*•˛❤˛•*✰
As I got dressed and left to retreat back to my room, Hidan went in with some clothes. I looked back at my uncle for an explanation.
"I let him go back to his hotel so he can get some of his stuff while he stayed here."
I nodded and closed the door that led to my room. Soon I fell onto the soft bed with black covers. I stared at the ceiling which was decorated with white flashing lights of stars, looking as if I was viewing the galaxy, with the Milky Way near the door. My walls were dark blue, almost black, and was decorated with a few band posters. There wasn't much in my room though. Just my bookbag filled with homework (that I didn't do), a blue electric guitar decorated with white streaks, CDs along with my black headphones, and a laptop sitting on my desk. I didn't realize that I had been staring at the ceiling for 30 minutes until Hidan opened the door.
I growled, "Whatever happened..."
"Never happened." he finished for me.
I grinned and scooted over to the left side of the bed, pulling the covers over me as I sunk down. I felt the bed sink down even more as he plopped himself down. Soon, dreamland swept over me.
Okay this was pretty much a pointless chapter. But I just included that "event" because thought it'd be funny. And it was kinda a filler, seeing as how I dunno if I should include them going to school or just skip school completely. Though there's not really a point to school...but...it'd just make the story longer I guess. So tell me what you think: Include school or no? Also thanks to animatedgemini for being the first to favorite this story! Anyway, thanks for reading!
Mini rant/note/whatev:
While I was writing this chapter, I searched up Jashinism (when I was searching up the upside-down triangle in a circle pendent, or, Jashin's symbol). And I've found some really interesting stuff. Most of which, I can honestly relate to and find deep interest with. I'm proud to say that I'm converting to Jashin. No, not the Naruto one. I mean real Jashinism. If you're interested, you could private message me for the link, or search it up yourself.
