The Nine Sins
Unfortunately I have not been able to contact my beta lately so this chapter is un-edited. Please forgive all grammatical errors and enjoy!
Kagome slumped gratefully into the warm water of the onsen. It had been a very stressful week and the only thing that had kept her going was the thought of being able to relax and have some alone time. Squeezing some shampoo into her hair she lathered her hair up before diving under the water to rinse it off. She allowed her body to sink slowly to the bottom and began to meticulously scrub her scalp clean. Then with a burst of strength she used her legs to propel her right out of the water. However her hair slipped in front of her eyes and she was left scrambling for balance completely blind.
"Shit." The soft curse slipped out of her lips as Kagome attempted to untangle her now clean locks and regain her balance. A low masculine chuckle from in front of her distracted her from her task.
"You know, you really shouldn't take a bath in the male onsen, Kagome." Recognizing the voice as Hidan's Kagome gave up on her hair resolving to finish the task later before tossing it behind her shoulder. Then lifting her head to look up at the amused face high above hers Kagome came to a few realizations: a) Hidan was mostly naked, b) he had said she was bathing in the male onsen, c) he was giving her a very lecherous look, and d) she was standing in chest deep water completely naked.
With a loud shriek she attempted to cover certain body parts and get back into the water. However seeing as Kagome had almost no balance she only managed to send herself flying backwards as she slipped on the smooth bottom. Preparing for the inevitable meeting with the hard edge Kagome closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come.
She was saved from that end when Hidan, with a surprising burst of speed, managed to stop Kagome from hitting the side by grabbing hold of her arms however he wasn't prepared for how much dead weight she was and was thus sent sprawling into the water on top of Kagome.
Spluttering and gagging on the water Kagome shoved the heavy Hidan off of her and scooted as far away from him as she could. Hidan in his credit only grumbled slightly about the fact that his pants where now completely soaked.
"You didn't have to be so fucking rough woman." Hidan's attempt at sounding angry was ruined by the fact that he was looking rather distraught at the fact that his hair gel was indeed, not waterproof.
Narrowing her eyes at the title Hidan imposed upon her Kagome prepared to give him a lecture he was sure not to forget for a long time. She was distracted, though, by the sight of Hidan mournfully stroking his now gel-less hair. Blinking at the odd sight and completely forgetting her former anger Kagome burst into hysterical laughter.
"What the fuck is so funny woman?"
Tears coursed down her face as she attempted to control herself. For the most part she managed, though the occasional giggle still escaped. Finally managing to calm herself she spoke, "Nothing, just the fact that you look like a wet cat with the way your hair looks."
Speaking the words sent Kagome into another bout of laughter and only served to make Hidan even more annoyed. Seeking to settle the score Hidan leapt at Kagome and reached out to grab her sides.
Her laughter abruptly cut short Kagome realized what Hidan intended to do and began to frantically thrash from side to side in an attempt to loosen his hold on her. However Kagome underestimated Hidan's strength as he continued to hold onto her despite her best efforts.
Flexing his fingers Hidan sought the one weakness of Kagome. Her ticklish-ness. A loud squeal told him when he had found the right spot. He then began to mercilessly tickle her. High-pitched laughter and shrieks of 'I give up!' ensued.
"Am I interrupting something?" The leaders cool voice sounded from somewhere behind Hidan and instantly killed the mood.
Straightening quickly Hidan released Kagome before turning to face him. Kagome blushed and sunk deeper into the water in an attempt to hide her embarrassment at being caught like that. Kagome's rapidly running in a circle thoughts where brought back to reality by Hidan speaking.
"Of course not, sir." The slightly mocking edge was not lost on either Kagome or Pein.
"Good. You and Kakuzu are to head out to Mist and contact a spy we have there. You are to be gone within the hour. I suggest you go get packed and stop playing with our prisoner."
Hidan gave a grudging nod and hefted himself out of the water while muttering something that incidentally sounded like: "cock-blocker" before walking somewhat sulkily out of the onsen. At the door though he was stopped by Pein's comment, "Next time take a bath in the men's onsen, not the women's."
With that said Pein disappeared in a small puff of smoke, leaving a mildly stunned Kagome and an attempting to escape unnoticed Hidan.
Kagome's stupor didn't last long as within the minute she had thrown on her clothes and taken off after Hidan.
"How dare you, you bastard!"
