Chapter 5! YAAAAAAY!
Thanks to anyone who reviewed and wished me a happy Thanksgiving! :D
On to the story This time you'll be reading from Hidan's point of view! :3
Hidan'sPOV
I'll be honest. I've never been much of an optimist. Some people have even gone as far as calling me a pessimist. Even so, I knew after yesterday's little spat that me and Kakuzu were going to have trouble getting along. If Rufus hadn't butted in, there's no doubt in my mind that the bastard would have done some physical damage to my body, not that I would have really minded.
As I make my way downstairs, dressed in a pair of grey fitted jeans and a plain black t-shirt, I see said bastard already putting on his heavy jacket. When I approach him, he shoves my own jacket into my arms. So much for an early morning greeting. I quickly slip into it and follow him outside.
Today was going to be my first day working at Kakuzu's store. Joy to the fucking world. We get into his truck and he carefully pulls out of the driveway. As he's driving, no attempts at conversation were made. Of course, me being the talkative asshole I am, that would soon change.
"How many people do you have working in the store?" I asked, watching some of the houses and stores whiz by.
Only giving me a sideways glance, he replied, "Four. My three friends, Itachi, Kisame, and Deidara, and Deidara's boyfriend, Sasori."
"Sasori isn't your friend?"
Kakuzu snorted. "Absolutely not. He's such an arrogant jerk. The only thing he's good for is how fast he gets work done. I feel bad for Deidara, having to date such an ass."
I propped my feet up on the dashboard and crossed my arms. "This Deidara chick, what's she like? Same question for the other pricks I'm going to be forced to work with."
Kakuzu slowed down for a couple of pedestrians crossing the road and, in a rather bored tone, replied, "First of all, Deidara is a boy. Second, don't call him a chick if he's in the room unless you want to be blown up. He-"
"Woah! Wait! Back up, hold the phone, stop. I'm going to be working with two fags?! When the hell were you gonna tell me this?!" I yelled. I swear to Jashin if even one of them makes a pass at me, I'll sacrifice their asses!
A little voice in the back of my head decided to inform me that Kakuzu had made a few passes at me...sorta. Did eye-raping someone count as making a pass at them? Hm. I promptly told that voice to shut the fuck up and tuned back in to hear what the bastard was going to say.
Kakuzu, not at all bothered by my outburst, said, "You won't be working with two fags."
I gave him a questioning look. He just said that a guy was dating another guy. If that isn't a faggot then what the hell is?
"You'll be working with four. Itachi and Kisame aren't dating but they obviously have a thing for each other." He finished, obvious amusement in his voice.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" I screeched.
Kakuzu scratched the inside of his ear with his pinky and growled, "Quit screaming! I'm going to go deaf because of you. There's no reason for you to freak out. Deidara is infatuated with Sasori, Sasori will probably find you too obnoxious to even acknowledge, you'll definitely annoy Itachi, and Kisame...well he's only gay for Itachi. You'll see once we get there. You don't need to worry about being molested by them or anything."
I glared at him, not exactly satisfied with that answer. Not to sound full of myself but has he seen me? I'm fucking hot! What gay guy wouldn't hit on me? He either didn't feel the heat of my glare or he choose to ignore it because no other words were spoken.
Eventually,he pulled into a small parking lot and I stared up at a sign in big red letters.
"Akatsuki?" I asked.
He nodded and turned off the car. "Itachi came up with the name. I liked it so I just went with it."
We both exited the car and strolled to the front door of the store. I took notice of only three other cars in the parking lot. We entered the store and small bell placed above the door alerted any employees of our presence. Kakuzu started making his way through the store.
As we approached a glass display case, which contained various knives and other weapons and had a cash register sitting on top of it, I noticed a doorway covered by a long black curtain with a red cloud pattern on it. The doorway was placed directly behind the display case and I could only assume that it lead to a back room for employees or storage.
Kakuzu stopped in front of the display case and yelled, "Deidara! Round everyone up and come out here!" He sent me an evil smirk, you could practically see it through his mask. "You have a new co-worker."
Faint shuffling could be heard before a thin body emerged from behind the curtain.
If I didn't know any better, I would have sworn this person was a girl. With long blonde hair pulled in a half ponytail, a fringe covering one side of their face, and bright blue eyes, anyone could mistake this beauty for a female. I'm certainly not gay, but I know beauty when I see it.
"Hi! I'm Deidara, un." The perky blonde declared, a smile on his face. He held his hand out, offering to shake mine.
Instead of shaking it, all I could do was stare. There was a mouth on his hand. There was a mouth...on his hand!
Noticing my stare, he laughed and held out his other hand. There was a mouth on that one as well. "Nice, huh?" He asked. I watched in amazement as the mouths opened and two tongues stuck out at me.
"That is so fucking creepy." I declared. He probably would have been offended if not for the big ass grin on my face. "How is that even possible?"
Deidara shrugged. "Birth defect, un." He stated. As he said this, two other figures emerged from behind the curtains.
The first to catch my attention was the tallest one. He had silky black hair pulled into a loose ponytail and piercing red eyes. I could tell that he could easily have any companion, girl or guy, he desired. The shorter one had messy red hair and murky brown eyes.
Turning those red eyes on me, the tall one nodded slightly. "Itachi." Was the only word that came from his mouth. I nodded in return and turned to the redhead next to him.
His dull eyes studied me with a look of distaste. "Tch."
The nerve of that motherfucking heathen! My temper flared at the fact that he would dismissed me so easily. "You gonna tell me your name, asshole, or am I gonna have to fucking guess?" I spat.
He narrowed his eyes at me. "Sasori." He spoke in a monotone voice. He then turned and disappeared back behind the curtain.
I turned to Kakuzu, who gave me a look that said 'I told you so'. He looked at Itachi and asked, "Where's Kisame?"
As if on cue, a ridiculously large man appeared from the back, nearly scaring the piss out of me. He had blue skin with darker blue hair to match. His eyes were beady and there were weird gill-like markings under both of them. What unsettled me the most was his grin full of razor sharp teeth.
"What's a matter kid?" He spoke in a rough voice, grinning even wider. "You look like you're about to piss yourself."
At this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing and take an immediate liking to the shark man. Who cares if he was gay and scary as shit? He has a fucking sense of humor!
We shook hands and he introduced himself.
After letting me chat with the three employees for a while, Sasori had yet to come back out, the bastard, Kakuzu showed me around the store. We were just getting to the maces when I spotted them. Walking to the back wall, I stared in awe at the magnificent sight of a row of shiny, sharp scythes. They were all so beautiful, with their long bases and curved blades that would look so gorgeous painted in a sacrifice's blood. I picked up the one that stood out the most, a tall scythe, painted red, with three beautiful, long blades sticking out. I ran my hand along the top blade, taking in it's cool, smooth surface.
I was quickly brought out of my thoughts by a deep chuckle. I turned to see Kakuzu staring at me- *cough* eye-raping me *cough- with his hypnotizing green eyes. "Should I leave the two of you alone or is it okay to watch?" He teased, motioning to the scythe.
I flipped him off. I heard snickering and saw Deidara further down the aisle, amused by our little exchange. Flipping him off, too, I turned back to the scythe.
Apparently not done yet, Kakuzu spoke. "Is this the scythe you want?" I nodded slightly.
He pondered for a moment. Slowly, a shit eating grin spread across his face. Okay so obviously I couldn't see his mouth but I could tell it was there! I was dreading whatever he would say next.
"I'll let you have that scythe. On one condition."
I swallowed slightly. I did not like the look in his eyes. "What is it?" I asked, trying not to let my voice waiver. I didn't get nervous easily but damn that was such a creepy look!
He moved closer and lowered his voice slightly. My back was still turned towards him and I could feel his breath on my neck as he whispered, "I want you to-"
"Kakuzu! The cash register isn't working again, un!" Deidara yelled from the front of the store.
Kakuzu cursed under his breath and gave me a final glance before going to take care of the problem.
I have no idea what the hell he was going to tell me but my skin was crawling from how close he was. There were goosebumps on my arms and my face felt warm for some unknown reason. What the fuck? How can this bastard make me feel so damn uncomfortable?! I knew one thing for sure. Being around this guy, might be a lot more dangerous than I thought.
