Till Life Do Us Part

Chapter 2

Hidan, king of the dead, lord of the underworld, ruler of lost life, was pouting.

The god was currently curled up in his large skeletal throne, whittling away at a stray bone.

"My lord," said Karin, a minion of Hidan's. "With all due respect, you have not moved in almost a week. I find it necessary to ask you if something is wrong."

"Nothing is wrong Karin!" snapped the god, not looking away from the bone.

"Mmm," was all Karin said.

"Look Karin, I told you, nothing is fucking wrong! Leave me alone!"

"Mmm." Karin didn't move.

"Shut up bitch! Stop judging me!" The albino god threw the bone, which Karin easily dodged.

"Mmm."

"Look, do you really want to know? Fine!"

"Mmm."

There was silence.

"Sir..."

"Have you ever been in love Karin?"

Karin blinked, confused. "I... guess, maybe. When I was alive. But that was over a thousand years ago, it's hard to remember. Why my lord?"

Hidan shrugged, slumping further into his throne. "I think I... might be... in love and WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING BITCH?"

Karin choked a little, trying to stop laughing.

"I'm sorry M'Lord, it's just I never thought we'd be having this conversation. So, who's the lucky girl? It is a girl isn't it?"

"Of course it's a girl why would it-! You know what, nevermind Karin! Just never-fucking-mind!"

"No no, I'm sorry M'lord! I'm sorry. Tell me about her sir."

Hidan snorted. "She... Her name's Hinata. She's Ino's sister."

Karin took a few strides towards the god's throne before sitting on a rock. "Is she pretty?"

"The prettiest." He muttered, not looking at his servant.

"You said she's Ino's sister. Do they look alike?"

"Not at all. She has dark hair and pale eyes and a sweet face."

Karin smirked and pushed up her horn-rim glasses. "It is rare for you to compliment anyone. You must really feel for her."

Hidan grunted. "Whatever. Shouldn't you be working?"

Karin stood from the rock and bowed. "Of course my lord." With that she left the throne room.

Hidan didn't move for a minute, then picked up another bone off the floor and began to carve it.

Interestingly enough, at the same moment that Hidan continued to mope, Hinata in the above world was also moping, though she was curled in a windowsill instead of a pile of human remains.

It had only been a little while ago that she had snuck out, but oh how she wanted to again. She hated being locked inside this house, nice and large house as it was. It was like a prison.

Unfortunately, Ino was currently home, and smothering Hinata like she always did.

So, the young goddess was forced to partake in the activity she always did when she was not allowed to go outside, look out the window and imagine.

"Little sister!" she heard Ino's voice call her. "Little sister!"

"I'm in my room!" she called back, and sighed as she heard her sister ascend the stairs.

The blonde goddess entered Hinata's room, failing to knock first, "Little sister, why are you locked up in here?"

Hinata frowned. "You won't let me go elsewhere." she muttered under her breath.

"What was that Hinata?"

Hinata was unsure what possessed her to continue speaking. "Ino, why won't you let me go outside?"

Ino paused and frowned. "We've talked about this before sister. It is dangerous for you."

"But how is it dangerous?" Hinata surprised even herself when she shouted at her elder sister. "All you ever say is that it's dangerous!"

"Hinata! There are things you don't understand-"

"How could I understand if you never explain it to me? You never let me do anything Ino! I'm tired of it!"

Ino looked angry. "I am your elder Hinata, and you must obey me!"

Hinata stood from the windowsill. "I will not!"

"You will!" shouted the blonde goddess, grabbing her sister's wrist.

"I won't!" Hinata shouted back, breaking Ino's hold on her wrist. "I do not belong to you Ino! I'm my own person and you don't control me!"

Then she ran, she ran out of her room, down the stairs, out of her home, and into the evening air. As she ran, a tear ran down her cheek.

The instant it struck the ground, Hidan in the underworld made a decision.

"Karin!" he yelled at his servant. "Watch things here! I need to go discuss something with Pein!"

End of Chapter 2

I admit, I like Karin. I know she may be the most hated character in Naruto, but I like her. So, I'm not bashing her. I do not believe I am basing any character. Sure, Sakura's kind of a bitch, but of the myths I've read... Aphrodite's kind of a bitch. It just works for the plot.

This is kind of a "Meh" chapter, but it is necessary. But, next chapter will be a lot cooler! Stuff will actually happen!

Anyway, please review, do not flame, but constuctive critism would be fabulous.
