I don't own Naruto.

--------------xx--------------

Kakuzu's eye twitched in annoyance. His arms were crossed about his broad chest, giving off a negative aura to his new partner. "Do you complain about everything?" Hidan spun around, dropping his bible in the process. "I do not complain!" He bent down, knees hitting the soft carpet and picked up his bible before looking Kakuzu in the eye.

Kakuzu laughed. "Don't complain? Are you kidding? You bitch at everything like a fucking twelve year old girl!"

Hidan's eyes flashed with anger and embarrassment. "Fuck you, asshole."

Kisame strolled in, before realizing the tension in the air before commenting, "Play nicely boys, we don't want any fights." Kakuzu sighed and pointed at Hidan. "You have got to be the most annoying person I've ever met! I try to meet up with fellow bounty hunters, but you scare them off with your ridiculous Jashin crap! Oh and I can't leave you here alone because you need someone to hold your hand!"

Hidan stood up. "Fuck you, asshole." Hidan smiled sweetly, sickly sweet, before strolling over to Kakuzu who sat in the lounge room chair, placing his arms on Kakuzu's broad shoulders. "I know you think I'm attractive." Kakuzu blanched. Fuck.

Hidan's hands flew up to Kakuzu's mask, tugging it slightly and pulling it down with ease. The mask hung around Kakuzu's neck, and both sat in silence for a few seconds before Kakuzu lashed out and threw Hidan across the room. He ran out of the room hands over his face, as though it had been burned.

Hidan was extremely confused. Kakuzu didn't seem that bad looking from his perspective. Hidan had no idea why he ran out of the room in such a manner.

"Where Kakuzu, un?"

"Deidara... oh, Kakuzu? In our room."

Deidara smiled, "un, I made you a welcoming gift." he added with a smile, handed over a small figurine of a bird. "You like, un?"

Hidan smiled, "Thank you, Deidara."

Deidara skipped out, and Hidan felt someone else's presence in the room, he turned to see Kakuzu in the corner of the room, bare chested, maskless, no forehead protector.. just wearing pants. Kakuzu's chest had a material like look to it, as though it had been sewed together with his chakra strings. His face has scars, similar to his chest, up to the cheek to lip. He looked vunerable.

"Kakuzu, wh-what -" Kakuzu stepped closer to him, sadness graced upon his strange face.

"Are you satisfied to see my face? My hideousy?" Before Hidan could answer, Kakuzu spoke again, this time, a hand lightly traced his cheek, almost affectionately.

"If I had your looks... I wouldn't just get money from it. I'd be happy with myself for the first time in my life. If only.. if only."

Kakuzu stepped away from Hidan, and into their room, leaving a confused Hidan behind... again.

I'm sick of this, Hidan thought. I have to ask him about this. Hidan asked around, for his partner, but no one knew where he was. He searched everywhere.

"FINE! I don't care!" Hidan screamed, annoyed.

"About what?" Hidan nearly jumped out of his skin and turned around to face Kakuzu. Gritting his teeth, "I've been looking for you all day."

Kakuzu stepped away from Hidan and sat down on a chair. "I was busy; had business to attend to."

"Right."

"..."

Hidan stepped foward, and sat on Kakuzu's lap, hugging the tense shoulders, holding them close to his chest. Kakuzu slipped a hesitant arm around Hidan's waist.

Hidan pulled down Kakuzu's mask, and placed a chaste kiss upon the chapped lips. Kakuzu sat there, in complete and utter shock, as Hidan's fingers dug comforting patterns into his back and neck. Hidan stood up, and pulled Kakuzu into their shared bedroom, Kakuzu watched in shock as Hidan closed their door, locked it and stripped naked in front of him.

"I'm waiting, Kakuzu."

Kakuzu tensed.
