Chapter 6: Who knows

Hidan grabs hold of a headful of spiky blond hair an submerges it under water. Bubbles erupt from the tub and Naruto struggles to get free. Hidan smiles sadistically as he pulls Naruto's head out of the water again. The blond gasps in air and glares at Hidan. Hidan leans down close to Naruto so he can ask, "You ready to talk yet?"

Naruto just smiles back at him defiantly. Hidan smirks and tosses him by the hair across the room. Naruto lands on his back but quickly sits up on his knees and glares at his tormentor.

Naruto's hands and feet are tied together so whenever Hidan tries to come near him he makes a move to bite the white haired man fiercely. Hidan dodges the attacks and grabs Naruto by the cuff of his shirt and holds him up as Naruto stares down and him with his usually azure eyes nearly turning a dark, evil red. Hidan locks him to the wall then punches him in the gut for good measure. He turns to walk away and says with a sadistic smile, "Be right back."

He walks about 5 feet and then he hears the boy behind him chuckle. He turns around and asks angrily, "What the hell are you laughing at bitch?"

Naruto is tired. His left eye is drooping slightly from being beat up so much the past few hours. He still manages to smile and left his head up as he says mockingly,

"You got fucked in the ass."

Hidan freezes. His smirk turns into a scowl and he growls, "What the fuck are you talking about?"

Naruto's smile widens. "The way you're walking. You had a dick up your ass. Recently i'd say."

Hidan's eyes widen then he rushes forward and grabs Naruto's throat, slamming his head back against the wall. Naruto cringes but then he continues smirking.

"Don't even try to pretend like you didn't. I know what it's like, and I can tell." Naruto chokes out.

Hidan squeezes his throat tighter but Naruto acts as if he can't even feel it.

"So who was it?" He begins to ask. Then he turns to the cell next to them where Kakuzu was at that moment sending painful electric shocks through Gaara. His smirk widens. He turns back to Hidan who is now seething. "Was it him? You screw your partner?"

Hidan is about to yell and beat the shit out of the annoying blond in front of him but he is stopped when Kakuzu says briskly,

"Hidan. Don't let him manipulate you. He's just trying to distract you. Remember what we are doing."

They lock eyes for a moment then Hidan relaxes and releases Naruto's neck. Naruto gulps in air by the gallons then he returns to smirking at Hidan. This time Hidan smirks back.

"So you know what it's like, huh?" he begins. This doesn't faze Naruto who continues smiling. "Uchiha, right? Guess you like the emo guys."

Naruto remains quiet though his eyes narrow dangerously.

"Uchiha..." Hidan stops and looks thoughtful for a moment then he mutters slowly, "You know... I think we might just have one of those lying around. Maybe... he'd like to meet his brothers little fuck-toy. I've got it! I'll go get him! Be right back!"

With a wink he walks out of the cell leaving Naruto with a surprised and nervous expression on his face.

Hidan runs upstairs and goes straight into Itachi's and Kisame's room.

"Hey!" Kisame exclaims. Itachi just raises an eyebrow in question.

Hidan quickly explains his idea to Itachi who remains silent while Hidan talks. At the end he just nods and follows Hidan down to the basement. Kisame doesn't really like the plan but he remains quiet, trusting Itachi to know what he's getting himself into.

Once back in the dark, torture filled basement Hidan opens Naruto's cell and walks in, followed by a sinister looking Itachi. When the blond on the wall sees him his eyes widen and he screams, "You! You're the fucking reason Sasuke's life turned out so bad you asshole!"

Itachi smiles then feigns hurt. "Does my dear little brother really talk so badly about me?"

A low growls erupts from Naruto. Itachi smiles. Hidan leans against the bars of the cell, awaiting a show. Itachi begins to move closer to Naruto who tenses. Itachi continues,

"So... one last chance to tell us how to build that weapon."

Naruto sneers. "Kiss my ass."

Itachi smiles more, although this smile seems to have a small bit of sadness and surprisingly, genuine humor behind it. He finds this feisty, loud, blond quite adorable.

Itachi is now standing directly in front of Naruto. He reaches up and traces slowly along one tanned arm to the blonds chin, which he grips lightly. Naruto clenches his jaw.

"Won't you even tell me? Don't I look a little like my brother? You'd tell him wouldn't you?" Itachi pouts.

"He wouldn't use the weapon to kill innocent people!" Naruto spits.

"Innocent people? We, Konoha and us that is, both want the same thing really. We want to take down Orochimaru. You know he's not innocent."

"Bullshit." Naruto mutters, trying desperately not to shiver under Itachi's gentle touches.

"Why would you even invent a weapon if you don't want to kill innocent people? That's what weapons are for. Especially powerful ones." While saying this Itachi leans in and breathes in Naruto's ear, letting warm air tickle the lobe softly.

Naruto can't stop himself. He gasps, "W-we didn't m-mean to b-build a weapon. I-it was an accident. No one was even supposed to know about it. M-Madara tricked us, and the word got out. It wasn't our faults..."

Upon hearing the name Madara, Itachi's fists clench and his eyes seem to shine red for a moment. He leans away from a now whimpering Naruto and turns to leave. Before Hidan can even ask Itachi stops him by hissing, "I must go speak to Pain for a moment."

Hidan rolls his eyes and begins making fun of a panting and exhausted looking Naruto. From the other cell Gaara lets out his first mangled scream since the torture had begun hours ago.

Itachi finds Pain in his room.

"What is your connection to Madara Uchiha?" He asks flatly.

"He is an old friend who shares my ideals. Why?"

"He cannot be trusted. Whatever deal you made with him... it will not end well." Itachi says warningly.

Pain sighs and stands up. He looks confident as he says, "You may be right about many things but this isn't one of them. I know what I'm doing."

Itachi smolders. "Fine." He turns and heads toward the exit. "But I'm not going to assist this anymore."

Pain nods and Itachi leaves the room cooly.

"Kakuzu! I think we can stop now. We got a name." Hidan yells.

"No." A voice says from the door of the basement. Hidan turns with a confused look on his face. Pain continues, "We didn't get the information on how to build the weapon."

Naruto looks up, confused. "How to build it? We don't even know how to do that! You need all nine of us. Only all nine of us together can build it dip-shit."

Pain looks shocked. Then his eyes narrow. "How do I know that's true?"

"It is." Gaara chokes from the other side of the room.

Pain glances from Naruto's wide blue eyes to Gaara's teal, shadow covered ones. He growls and curses. Hidan and Kakuzu wait for him to instruct them as to what to do next. He doesn't say anything for a while so Hidan asks nervously,

"What do we do with them now, Leader-sama?"

"Leave 'em here. We'll find another way to build the weapon." And he walks out the door leaving Hidan and Kakuzu surprised and somewhat depressed. Hidan turns to Naruto while Kakuzu drops the burning metal he was about to push into Gaara's skin. Hidan scrapes his fingernails down Naruto's exposed chest and draws small bits of blood that run along the bruised and abused skin. Naruto cries out in pain. Hidan smirks as he says, "It seems like my fun with you is over... that's too bad..." He licks the blood from the fresh wounds roughly then walks out of the cell muttering, "It was just getting interesting."
