At Emankagure, a man sat silently with his hands up on a prayer position, it is time again for his daily prayers. He had devoted his life, his entire life, for Jashin, his god and never did it alter even when he found out that he was the long lost heir of this mysterious kingdom. His name is Hidan, a former Akatsuki member, the group of rouge nins from other countries. He quit the organization secretly, making his ex-companions think that he was sliced up dead and was buried somewhere in Konoha. But unknown to them was that Hidan managed to escape the seal before that boy beat the day lights out of him. He really wanted to die, and sealing him up is just the right way to end his infinite torture; but he felt that he still has to find this missing fad he feels within him, the only thing he wanted to acquire before he wanted to die; something so exceptional that he'll find it a reason worth living for. Hidan always included this request in his prayers, hoping someday his Jasin-sama would grant him the reward.
Just as after he finished his prayers he stood up, his long cloak flowing through his slender but muscular body. Not so long did a servant came and said "H-Hidan-sama, you are requested b-by the council…" the boy said with a shaky and obviously nervous voice.
"Yah, yah whatever wimp bag!" He went ahead to follow the terrified creature in front of him. He mumbled in exasperation "stupid heir- inheriting-thing, so many darn talks blah blah.. They should try to shut their f*cking mouths up to breathe!!!" the boy quickly sped up to reach their destination the earlier, he didn't want to be the channel for Hidan to pour out all his annoyance on.
He entered a slightly bright room, and greeting him as he entered was a big semi circle shaped table where most of the elders sat wearing black and white robes with lots of ornaments.. At the back were Emankagure nins and anbus, patiently standing in full guard. He was assisted by one shinobi to a seat where he rested his ass and put his feet up on the table in front, not minding whether he disrespected the elders. Papers and some portraits of a girl fell out of the folder; nevertheless, he didn't notice them.
One of the elders stated with a clear deep voice, "Young man, remove your feet off the tabl.." Hidan didn't let him finish and blurted out, "Young man?!.." he laughed out loud for a while then continued… "…Imbeciles, you got no idea what you're talkin' about".
Before he was even dethroned of his inherits, the same ninja that helped him to the seat walked to him and whispered, "Hidan-sama, you, y-your feet is crumpling the data sheets of your fiancée."
He didn't quite moved from his position until his mind finally processed the word, "…fiancée"
He almost fell from his chair upon this realization. "What the fuck?!"
The nin explained immediately, "Hidan-sama, before you are fully hailed as the Kage of Emankagure, you must need to vow marriage to our country's ally, Sunakagure, for the sake of sacred traditions." The nin said, as he gathered the fallen pieces of documents.
"Sacred tradition my ass, I ain't gonna stick myself to some slu…" he paused, jaw-dropped open as his eyes feast on the portrait of Temari. He hastily took the pictures from the shinobi's hand. In one picture she was wearing festival attire, it was a black kimono embedded with the most elegant silver threads. Her beautifully tanned skin was partially viewed in that long slit coming up to her higher thigh. Her small waist was framed perfectly by the blood red sash and her hair wasn't in its signature ponytails, instead it was up in only one partial bun hair at the top part with ornamental sticks holding it in place and the rest of her golden hair flowed attractively at one side of her neck. She still held her battle fan and it looks like the shot was taken when she bumped into a fight during a festivity at Suna or something. Then in her next photo, she is wearing her usual fighting attire, a purple cloak with gray piece on top of it, held again by a red long sash. She wore fishnet leggings that didn't quite expose her too much. Her battle fan closed and rested on the floor vertically and in this photo too, she is with her brothers, Gaara at her right and Kankuro on the other. But his eyes only focused only on Temari's face. He stared at the other pictures in his hands and marveled a lot. He had never seen anyone this beautiful before! She looks tough and harsh but she still retained her simplicity that which made her more beautiful than all the other women he had seen in his entire life.
"Dazzling isn't she?" Another old voice announced. Hidan only nodded his head as he still wandered his eyed through Temari's pictures. The old man chuckled on the dumb expression on Hidan's face and added, "She is the highest female of Sand Country, and her name is Temari, Temari Sabaku. She's considered as their First lady being the only sister of her unmarried brother whom is the Kazekage of Suna. What do you think of her?"
His mind never accepted any thought at that moment, he was stunned by her beauty and by the looks of it, he was also mesmerized in her eyes which aren't even looking at the viewer of the picture, (the same feature that attracted Shikamaru Nara). He didn't respond to the blabbings he heard, He only murmured "…Temari" and a slight smile unconsciously stretched his face. He couldn't help but think if she practiced genjutsu for he cannot remove his eyes from the hallucination he's seeing. He thought of himself s a dim-witted jackass who's blinded to stupid staginess just by a normal picture. But no, it wasn't just a normal picture; it was the portrait of his fiancée.
"Looks like we've got nothing to argue about, then this meeting is adjourned. Tomorrow we shall have the final meeting on Suna, we require you being there so that you can personally meet the Kazekage and of course, your fiancée." The council head affirmed. But gaining no response but a slow stupid nod, they stood up and head towards the exit. All left Hidan in the hall, still dreaming over the pictures as if it was the first time he'd seen one. Hidan just sat there, smiling gratefully for that moment; he knew that Jashin-sama gave the best reward of his life.
-ok, now this is getting interesting. I just got inspired by twilight.. XD .. "When you can live forever, what do you live for?" haha.. really matched Hidan. Anyways, the next chapter is gonna be thrilling… watch out peeps.. -autumn
