A/N: Have a happy Friday the 13th everybody! :D
The trio walked through a town, some people glared while others coward away. Jacqueline watched with curiosity at the number of responses the two men received from people. There wasn't too much difference in their worlds, people were still people no matter where you went.
"Kakuzu-san, what is it that you guys do in the Akatsuki?"
He stared straight ahead as he answered, "Everyone has their own reason for joining, but we all fight under our leaders orders to accomplish a world of peace."
"Tsh, that small-fry idiot isn't a leader! I could take him out with ease!"
"Shut up, Hidan, you're too loud this early in the morning."
"All I want is a little voice around here, I don't see why you have to be such a stuck up-"
"Hidan-san! Why don't you tell me the story about how you left your village again?"
Hidan glanced at the girl walking beside him, "Again?"
"Yeah! It's like a twisted bed time story. Plus, you love telling it do you not?"
"Heh," He polished his nails on his cloak, "I guess, if the fans want some, I can't deny them. Well, back in the day my village of Yugakure..."
Kakuzu let out a sigh. Well at least he's no longer bugging me. He easily tuned out the two that began to go deeper into the conversation. He glanced back looking at the girl. Her lip was still broken and her eyes were clearly black from a beating. Under the fishnet was clear signs of a complete ass-kicking. All from the same man that she happily chatted to now. What puzzled him even more, were the words in that letter. He shrugged it off and looked down at the map he was plotting out a plan for. With this, we should be in and out in the least amount of time, given no surprises arise. Jacqueline and Hidan continued their talking until the reached the boarders of the Land of Lightning.
"Alright, up ahead is Tsugakure and our target. The girl will remain here until we return," He turned to Jacqueline, "If we are not back within 24 hours than follow the path off to the West back until the small town at that point your on your own."
"You're going after that girl you thought I was, right?"
"Tsh, if it wasn't for you getting in the way we would have already captured her!"
She nodded as she had already came to a closure for being the reason they are behind schedule.
"Can't I help you guys? I could act as a bait and lure her out or something?"
"Yeah, that doesn't sound like a bad idea, than if she gets killed it'll be one less thing we have to worry about."
Kakuzu let out a growl of annoyance, "Can you idiots not follow simple instructions? Now let's go Hidan!"
"Watch your heathen mouth, you piece of shit! I'll do whatever I want!"
Kakuzu suddenly felt very doubtful about his plan and it's absolute success rate.
Jacqueline sat on a branch of a tree. Over the past 20 hours she had been training herself. Maybe, if I can learn to fight a little, they won't think of me as such a nuisance. But what the girl wasn't aware of, was the fact that just simple fighting isn't going to help you in this day and age. There were powers people had that she could never even imagine. But still, she tried her best kicking and punching.
A loud shrieking could be heard as Hidan crashed his way through another platoon of guards. It seems the village was waiting for them, but even though their plan was ruined, luck was on their side. The jinchuriki herself had showed herself and lead the Akatsuki away from the almost dead shinobi.
"I will not allow you to hurt my comrades anymore. I will finish you people off once and for all!"
"Tsh, like you could ever kill what cannot die!"
Once again, the jinchūriki was put to her limits as she tried to take out two of the Akatsuki members. She was curious what stopped them from chasing her so many weeks before. It didn't matter anymore, this was it, she will destroy them for her village, for her comrades.
Another 7 hours have passed and the sun was beginning his journey to sink behind the horizon. Jacqueline was slightly worried, it's been 3 hours passed her limit and she was beginning to question herself.
"I don't know what to do..., Kakuzu told me that enemies might come after me... But on the other hand, if I leave, I'll be alone without an idea what to do or where to go."
She scratched at her head, messing up the pony tail her blond hair was in. Dammit, dammit, I don't want to leave! Memories over the past few weeks went through her. It seems as if the memories of living here had been slowly taking over the ones from her world. Not that they were at all that important. After her mother died, life became almost meaningless to her. She breathed because her brain forced her lungs, she moved because habit forced her to, she smiled because her mind tricked her too.
"It's decided. I don't care if I have to wait a week. I'm going to wait for them!"
Hidan charged at the jinchuriki without a thought.
"Running at the enemy, especially one with strategic thinking, is an idiot move Hidan."
"Shut up and stay out of this! I don't need your bullshit advice!"
The blond named Yugito, had no problem blocking and dodging the enraged man's attacks.
"Why did you not continue to follow me during our last encounter?"
The question has been burning in her mind for so long. What logic came from leaving her?
"Curiosity killed the cat you know!" Hidan quoted before letting out a shriek, "Plus, I don't need any reminders of that fucking day!"
Kakuzu let out a chuckle as he noted the time, "She should be gone by now Hidan, it's been over 29 hours."
"Good, that piece of shit was annoying!"
Hidan, though joyful about the release of that runt began to question in his mind, Who the hell is going to cook his favourite meal now? Yugito became rather confused at what the two bickered about but ignored it nevertheless. When she got some distance between Hidan, and having her question ignored, she decided there was no more time to play. Releasing all of her energy, her chakra began to make a form around her, letting her take complete transformation into the tailed-beast inside of her.
"You are the Akatsuki, so I can't waste anymore time screwing around!"
Kakuzu stood back as the girl transformed. He had a feeling he would be sewing on limbs by the end of this. A growl of his stomach also pained him slightly. I never came into account of the price of food... The intelligent mind of Kakuzu suddenly felt strangle foolish. Without the small female, he would have to cut into the sums of money for meals. Immortality always has a drawback, dammit.
Kakuzu walked ahead as Hidan strolled behind him carrying the small blonde.
"We would have been done hours ago if it wasn't for your useless ritual. Time is money!"
"Shut up you money hungry pig! Jashin-sama needs my sacrifices! Plus, money is just a waste of time!"
"Idiot, even hell runs on money."
"Frugal piece of shit."
Kakuzu inwardly chuckled at the use of the word. But, his inward smile turned into a scowl as his stomach reminded him of the money he would need to use. His eyes narrowed as the sight of smoke caught his eye not very far ahead.
"Hey, Kakuzu, you don't think..."
The two walked ahead and saw the tiny blonde female curled up against a tree. In her arms was a pouch made of leaves. The two knew exactly what was inside that little leaf pouch and at the moment, for the first time that didn't involve death, they were happy.
"What the hell do you think you're doing here?"
The girl flinched at the voice and jumped out of her sleep. She turned to see Kakuzu and Hidan standing before her, both of them looked rather annoyed and angry. She noticed that Hidan carried the girl from when she first arrived.
"Yo-You're late!"
Both men just stared at the small girl as she stood up and stretched. Hidan was the first one to notice the slightly different wounds on her body. One's clear from a weakling training.
"It's cold, but I made you each your favourite Of course, with you two taking your time I was able to wander back to town and get the proper ingredients I couldn't find out here."
"How did you get the ryo?"
"I pick pocketed a few people in town. It's really not my style, and I felt really bad..., but than I thought, it was for a good purpose. Like a story I once read, a boy who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, but you're really rich so... I guess I was just selfish."
Hidan dropped the unconscious girl and dropped to the ground in a crossed-legged position.
"I don't care if you had to kill for it, gimme. I'm bloody well starving!"
Jacqueline nodded and handed him his portion of the meal. Kakuzu just stared at the two as Hidan swallowed his meal almost whole.
"Hidan-san, if you eat like that you'll just bring it up and my hard work will be for nothing!"
"Shut up you moron! I'm not gonna bring it up! That's for pansies!"
"Well than at least try and taste it! I put a lot of effort making sure the flavours were perfect!"
"Yeah, yeah. It's good now shut the hell up while I eat!" He spat with a mouthful.
The girl just puffed her cheeks in annoyance at the rude behaviour of the man. She looked like a small child who didn't get the toy she wanted. He took a seat as well and took the meal from Jacqueline with a nod. As he began to eat he had a small smile on his lips.
"Why do you always look away when you eat or drink Kakuzu-san?"
"Becuase under the mask he's u-"
His fist met Hidan's face and the man collapsed with stars in his eyes.
"It doesn't concern you."
The girl tilted her head to the side as she stared at the back of Kakuzu's head with curiosity.
