SEPT, 10th 1999 - Hidan and Kakuzu -
Hidan watched as Kakuzu took his seat in english class. He'd been observing the other's behavior for the last couple of hours or so. This guy was good. He acted as human as they come. The guy could have gotten an award for best actor. In math class he had tripped, dropped his pencil allowing it to roll away and he had asked to go to the bathroom.
A) vampires don't trip, they are graceful
B) they are able to catch things before they even hit the ground and
C) vampires don't eat or drink anything except blood so they never need to go the bathroom.
What was this guy doing? Blending was Hidan's guess. Well Jashin dammit, he blended too well. Hidan sighed as he drew the Jashin symbol in his notebook. He kept an eye on the black haired boy as he doodled. He glanced at the sheet of paper in front of Kakuzu. What on earth was all of that? He had figures written down and sets of numbers with dollar signs next to them. Okay so the guy had an obsession with money. That wasn't wierd, that was just plain boring.
The teacher began talking louder, to get people's attention. "Okay, for your project, you will be partnered up with someone." She called out. All eyes were on the teacher as names were called and the partners were paired up. "Hidan will be with Shikamaru Nara and Kiba Inizuka will be with Kakuzu." She said. One look at the other two boys said they weren't happy with this situation.
"Kiba, I'll trade you partners." Hidan said, just loud enough to be heard by the other two. "Okay, sounds good." Kiba said as Shikamaru smiled and nodded. Kakuzu glanced back at Hidan with an I could care less look. Now Hidan could observe this guy up close and personal. Things just got alot easier on his end.
"So how do you want to do this?" Hidan asked as class ended. "Let's meet at the public library after school tomorrow." Kakuzu suggested. Hidan thought about it for a long moment before he finally shrugged. "Why not." Kakuzu nodded at him and walked away. Hidan headed down the hall. Now all he had to do was tell Madara. Sounds simple enough right? Well then you don't know Madara. The guy was going to blow a gasket. Well off to gym class. Oh, Yay!
After a brutal game of dodge ball had ensued, Hidan made it to the locker room. He was hot, sweaty and sticky, nothing that a hot shower couldn't cure. He stripped and stepped into the hot stingy, spray of water and let the trials of the day wash away.
He turned off the water and was about to step out of the stall when voices carried to him. "Kakuzu, you can't be serious." A male voice said. "Well what am I supposed to do? Refuse to do the project or better yet invite him to my house? That's not really an option." Kakuzu said.
A sigh came from the other male. "Do the project. Just be careful and watch yourself." The other male said. Footsteps could be heard as one or both walked out the door. He wasn't sure but no way was he getting caught. He snuck silently to the end of the petition, glancing around the corner slowly.
The room was empty and he breathed a sigh of relief. He dressed quickly and left the room. He had two more classes before the day was out and one would be with Kakuzu. He would continue to observe, but also start paying more attention to the conversations between Kakuzu and his friends. There was bound to be some useful information there somewhere.
As history drug on, Hidan began to lose focus as well as conciousness. This damn class was so boring that one could fall asleep in here and noone would even notice. Kakuzu had sat quietly taking notes for most of the hour. He sure as hell wasn't acting all vampire-ish. I guess staring at people's throats all hour would be a dead give away.
Either way something exciting needed to happen and soon or Hidan was going to die of boredom. As if on cue a girl shrieked as the girl next to her had a massive nosebleed. Hidan watched Kakuzu's reaction in amusement. The guy looked scared to death as people dodged around the room to help the poor hemmoraging girl. Kakuzu jumped to his feet and ran out of the clssroom as if the devil was after him and he and the devil were probably best friends.
Hidan smirked. Yep there's the classic signs, as the teacher made a comment about him possibly having a weakness for the sight of blood. Hidan snickered. "If you only knew teach, if you only knew." He mumbled under his breath, as the bell rang.
