S is for September
and
September is for long boring lectures
At the end of the last chapter it ended with Hidan giving Nao one of his many pendants he has at home, obviously Hidan would never develop feelings that fast for anyone soooo, I'm going to do a sort of flashback. From when Nao pointed out that she liked his Scythe until the moment he gave her a pendant of her own. Just to clear that up, hoping that nobody will assume he's too OOC or something ( even though he probably is anyways T-T )
So yeah, I'll just fill in that gap so you guys understand his actions.

"My scythe? Yeah, it's a bitch to swing around but it gets the job done"
I looked at the giant weapon quite intrigued and a little intimidated, I inched myself away, just enough to get out of the line of fire. I watched him jerk it around as he continued to explain its purpose very enthusiastically, occasionally swinging it towards me on accident while I quickly dodged out of the way.
"Yeah, that's great Hidan. Just watch where you're swinging that thing please" I laughed nervously and motioned him to put it down. He frowned, and I immediately knew he got the wrong idea.
"No, no. It's not that I don't like it, its just that you're... kinda swinging it around without looking?" I looked at him pleadingly, "uh, you know what? You're scythe is just SO interesting, you have to tell me more about it" I quickly made up an excuse. Hidan was one of the last people I'd want to have a grudge against me.
He immediately started with a story that- let's say, wasn't for everyone's ears to hear.
Hidan's story, straight from his own mouth:
"Okay so, I met this guy one time and he was making fun of my hair. I was like 'wtf seriously? atleast I'm not the one going to hell you dickless homo' and then he got all mad and I was like, 'what the fuck is your problem?'. He was obviously jealous, I mean what the fuck! And then he challenged me so I was like, 'bring it on bitch!' and then he brought out this shitty ass weapon that who knows what the fuck it was. I mean, it was shitty, ya know? I started laughing at him and then he got all red and mad as if he was going to morph into the fucking Hulk, seriously this guy was a pussy."
"Uh Hidan-"
"No wait! Let me finish!" He raised his hands in the air and started doing all the actions to his story, "and then I stood there and waiting for him to come at me, and then he started to do this random pussy ritual chant thing and I was like 'screw that, that's supposed to be a ritual?' and then I came at him with my motherfucking awesome moves and managed to draw blood from him with my Scythe. And then he was all 'wtf? how did you do that?' and I was all like, 'that's right bitch!' and he was like, 'Oh no!' and I was like, 'fuck yes!'."
"Hidan!-"
"Nono! wait!" he started swinging his Scythe around again, "and then I drew Jashin's symbol in the ground and I stood on it and then I was like 'die worthless heathen!' and he was all like, 'no I can't die!' and then I-"
end of story/
"and then he woke up from his dream" Kakuzu interrupted.
"It wasn't a dream you fuckface!"
"Sorry Nao, Hidan tends to exaggerate with his stories"
I face-palmed.
"God-Damnit I hate you guys! You have to ruin everything!" Hidan shouted, pointing furiously at Kakuzu.
My snarky moment didn't last long though, because I was quickly clouded over with laughter as I burst out hysterically. Kakuzu and Hidan stopped and starred as I fell over laughing.
"What the hell are you laughing at?" Hidan frowned
"Oh nothing, it's just-" I picked myself up off the ground and dusted my clothes off, "well your story was-"
"laughable?" Kakuzu pointed out
"Well no! It was umm-" I couldn't quite find the right word for it, yes, of course it was laughable and completely hilarious but I couldn't say it to his face, just because he sounded so excited about it and he was usually always insulting people. It was kind of like story time with Hidan, except for an older audience.
"It was... exhilerating!" I pumped a fist in the air pathetically, hoping it would make things better.
"idiot" Hidan continued to frown, "oh well, I guess cocksuckers like you two can't see a good story when it's told"
"Don't be so full of yourself Hidan!" I shouted out, "you're story was-"
"good?" Hidan interrupted
"of course not, it was THE most pathetic piece of crap I have ever heard"
"Oh, now you're going down bitch! Prepare to be sacrificed to Jashin!"
"As if you could!"
Before I knew it we were yelling in eachother's faces. Kakuzu had already walked away, apparently unable to do anything now. To tell you the truth, I really did hate conflict, but Hidan was my only exception. That boy really did know how to push someone's buttons. Hidan continued to give a long line of insults and I too was about to open my mouth when I stopped, and thought about it for a moment. Hidan was always yelling at people and throwing nasty comments at them, but there must be a reason why. I had read in various places that people with violent anger issues were results of parental abuse, the thought lingered in my mind but I didn't really want to think of it that way. However, one thing was for sure, his parents most definitely had foul mouths.
"Hidan- can I ask you something?"
Hidan stopped talking and looked at me impatiently.
"Why do you always do that?
"Do what?"
"Swear"
"Because I can, have a problem with that?"
"Well, no" I looked down at my feet, "it's just that, I thought there might be a reason behind it"
"Well there isn't and even if there was it would be none of your fucking business"
He was right. It was NONE of my business and I shouldn't have asked in the first place. I felt horrible. Trying to pry into someone's past was pretty low, especially if you knew almost next to nothing about the person. It was apparent he didn't want to talk about it, and I just had to accept that. Should I apologize, or would he just blow me off? I pondered for a moment before looking back up at Hidan who had opened his mouth and-
"if you're going to snoop around people's lives do it to someone who fucking gives a crap, seriously"
"I know, you're right I-"
"Damn right you were wrong! I mean how low can you get? You're always asking these stupid questions and I can see your mouth moving and all but all I hear is blah, blah blah, blah-"
"Hidan, stop! For the love of God just shut the fuck up already!" I almost lunged forward at him, taking a giant step towards him and making him trip over his own feet. Hidan sat there without words, either too ashamed to admit he had just tripped and fallen on his own ass or was completely shocked that someone stood up to him so harshly, especially a female. It was like reality just bitch slapped him in the face and he was just realizing his own harsh words, coming from someone else. Obviously, other people had told him off in the harshest ways possible, but from someone being so dead serious about it, it wasn't a joke. It didn't feel the same as when Deidara or Kakuzu lectured him, or when he got into a fight with someone off the street somewhere and most certainly, nobody had ever questioned him about his past or even his childhood.
"Look, just... fuck off okay?" he folded his arms in his chest as small droplets of rain began to fall.
I looked up into the sky, noticing the dark grey and black hues that hovered over us in the shape of clouds, the rain was getting harder and I was getting wet. I looked down at Hidan, who had said nothing at all as I reached my hand out towards him, willing to give him a hand.
"I'm sorry I yelled" I apologized, "but if you can atleast try and understand my point of view, I'll never ask you about your past again... or your swearing"
Hidan looked at my extended hand, his expression turning monotone as he grabbed my hand and he got up off the muddy ground, "deal" he replied. His facial expression seemed to turn a bit softer, as if a giant load of something just got lifted off of his back.
"Oh and, you didn't hear or see this at all, and if you tell anybody what just happened. I'm going to make your life a fucking hell"
We ended up exchanging friendly hand shakes as we turned to leave the school yard, which was completely empty now by the way. Everyone had already gone home.
"You know something? You're not half bad, Hidan"
"Before I answer that, I want you to promise me something" Hidan looked worried
"what is it?"
"promise me you'll never say that in public again"
I laughed, "sure Hidan, whatever you say"
We both eventually waved good bye and left our separate ways to go home. It was late, and we had sat there for quite some time now that I thought about it properly. I knew my mom was going to be worried and once I step inside the house she was going to switch on her interrogation mode and drill me with a thousand questions. However, I felt that it was worth it, because I had just gained a new friendship with the most unlikely person in the world. I'm sure Hidan probably felt the same way... well, maybe.
After that day, Hidan wasn't quite so mouthy when he was around me, he made it quite obvious that he was going to keep that a secret though. He even made me dance around in a circle swearing that I would never tell a soul a thousand times. Sure, it was a very pathetic waist of time, but a well spent waist of time if you ask me.
I sort of had fun with this chapter, despite it's probably boring now. haha.
Anyways, just wanted to touch up on their growing friendship. Even though Hidan is keeping it a secret but hey, what do you expect from him?
I'll continue where I left off on chapter three tomorrow. The next chapter will be a lot more humorous, I promise! No more of this serious stuff, well, until later of course. :D
