Chapter 4: Magical Confusion
So the three of them set of to the library to look at the mythology section.
"Let me see," Kakuzu muttered looking around. "The mythology section. This way."
The librarian just stood there.
Once they were finally gone she said to herself, "Goths in the library? Or were they punk? Still none the less…Maybe I'm in the library too much, I mean I'm only 21."
Kakuzu was scanning the mythology section for something in particular and Sasori was helping him. Hidan was just standing on the aisle with them seeming preoccupied.
Kakuzu noticed this and stopped searching for a second and walked over to him.
"What are you doing?" he asked Hidan.
"Nothing," Hidan replied.
"No, I mean why are you over here with us?"
"What do you mean?"
Kakuzu had a sly facial expression.
"Well," he said. "Shouldn't you be in the…maternity section?"
Hidan slapped his hand over Kakuzu's mouth, or mask rather, and blushed bright red.
"Please stop," Hidan pleaded.
"Okay," Kakuzu said. "It's fine you know. You can't tell, if you even are pregnant."
"Kakuzu," Sasori said. "You shouldn't be playing with one of Hidan's discomforts…Regardless of if it's true or not."
"Why? He always tries to bother me."
"Well, yeah, but…Ugh. Just never mind."
After a while Kakuzu found the book and sat at a table. Sasori and Kakuzu were discussing things every so often. The were on one side of the table while Hidan was on the other side, looking on, wondering what they were saying.
"Are you serious!?" Sasori exclaimed, out of the blue.
"Sasori," Kakuzu said. "We are in the library you know."
"Oops."
Hidan looked questioningly at them afraid to ask what.
"So, wait a moment," Sasori said. "Hidan really is pregnant?"
"Technically, yes," Kakuzu replied.
"What?" Hidan asked in a half whisper.
Sasori and Kakuzu turned to look at Hidan who had a facial expression mixed between total fear and embarrassment.
"Well," Kakuzu said. "What you're feeling is technically pregnancy but--"
Suddenly, a bang cut Kakuzu off.
Hidan had his head in his hands, on the table.
"Wait a moment." Kakuzu said. "I wasn't even finished."
Hidan let out a quiet moan.
"Just let him finish, Hidan," Sasori coaxed.
Hidan lifted his head and looked at Kakuzu waiting for him to finish.
"It's a magical being called mahoko," Kakuzu explained. "It usually takes a human with formidable powers as a host until it's done growing and then…Do I really have to go there?"
"No," Sasori and Hidan replied hastily.
"Anyway, it's exactly the same as a regular pregnancy, meaning the same in everything including side effects but it's absolutely inconspicuous. Also it only last six months."
Another "bang" was heard when Hidan's head hit the table.
"Well, that obliviously didn't make you feel any better," Sasori said.
Hidan moaned again.
"I thought not," Sasori said.
He turned to Kakuzu.
"Kakuzu," he said.
"Yeah?" Kakuzu replied.
"If Hidan's a boy than how in the world can he give birth?"
Kakuzu exhaled hard.
"Well, it's actually kind of similar to regular childbirth," Kakuzu started. "You see--"
"On second thought," Sasori said. "Never mind it."
"Fine by me."
Later on that day, Kakuzu called Pein and Konan and told them about what was happening. After Pein and Konan finished being utterly shocked, they told Kakuzu to be Hidan protector for the mahoko may be valuable asset.
They were to see it through or else.
A/N: Okay, I know a lot of you are probably confused with Kakuzu's explanation since Hidan is a boy which makes it impossible. Fear not. Just wait 'til the story progresses and you'll find out. You'll have to wait a while though. I have a lot of unuploaded chapters. At least 10. Patience. Oh and I know "mahoko" is a lame name considering "maho" is 'magical' and "ko" is 'child.' Hey, I couln't come up with anything else. XP
