CHAPTER 7: THE HUNT#2
I open my eyes slowly, just to see the leader falls down. His body had been split in two…from head to toe. His shocked and terrified eyeballs fall easily near his own feet. His brain and intestines are spilled and scattered on the ground.
Hidan-san looks satisfied. Blood spilled everywhere.
But Hidan-san doesn't stop yet. He does just the same to all of the guards, cut them down in two and leave their bodies just like that.
Slash!
Splatt!!
"One! Two! Three!!"
Slash!
Splatt!!
"Four! Five!"
Slash!
Splatt!!
"Five! Six! Seven! Eight!!"
Slash!
Splatt!!
"Nine! Ten! Eleven! Twelve!!"
The more he kill, the broader his smile.
"Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen!! Yeah!!"
"A…a…a…" my voice disappears.
I can barely hold my feet to stand still…for my body and my legs shivering uncontrollably. He crushed them into pieces!! I never…think…that Hidan-san can bring it off like…this. This is more than just a fight…
This is…brutality…
Suddenly, my ears catch on a vague…soft wrecking sound of stepped branches and dry leaves. But I can't move my eyes yet…they're locked on the corpses around Hidan-san.
"Not bad for a newbie," a male voice, a monstrous one, appears, "It took longer than I estimate, but fair enough."
My eyes shifting to the voice. I saw a man in a black robe with red clouds printed on it. His look is…weird, hunchbacked, spiky black hair, with a pair of creepy eyes and scary voice. He doesn't look normal at all for me. I mean…I don't even know if he's a human. He's more like a monster.
I think I've seen the robe somewhere before…but I'm not sure.
Another male figure appears beside him, wearing a black robe with red clouds just like him. But this man is normal…not weird like his friend. He has a long straight blonde hair with bangs on the left side of his face, and a pair of dark blue eyes. He smirks to Hidan-san.
"Nice moves you got there, hmm," he speaks…well…normally, with a deep-but-cheerful voice, "I think Leader-sama made a right choice."
"Hoohh…you bet!" Hidan-san grins proudly to them, swings his scythe and places it on his back, "Fuck 'em all. It was too easy. Fifteen? Huh. They had a fuckin' bad day today for challenging me in the first place."
"A…a…ano, Hidan-san…"
"Huh?"
"I just…umm…want to know…"
"What now?"
I'm about to ask him who they are. But then I see something on their finger! It's a circular thing, made of a shiny black ruby. One in the right index and the other is on the left thumb. I can't see what's carved on it, but I'm sure it's the same ring as the ring on Hidan-san's finger.
I remember he said:
…
"It's a symbol of…uh…brotherhood,"
"Brotherhood?"
"Kinda,"
"What kind of brotherhood, Hidan-san?"
"Yeah…you see, I'm the third son of my family so they gave me this. My brothers had one for each of 'em. That's that. Get back to the mission!"
"Okay,"
…
Well…then they must be his brothers!
I forget all of my scary thoughts when I speak.
"I just want to know if your brothers want to stay for a day in my house," I smile to them three, "Since this is my first hunting mission and it went good, can't we take a break? I've learned enough for a day, right? Besides, you've killed all of the enemies and there's nothing left for me. So?"
"Nah, they don't need it. Why, anyway?"
"Why not? Your brothers aren't strangers to me. So?"
"Hmm…you have a pretty big house, Hazuki-chan," the blonde man smirks to me.
"Why thank you, Deidara-san,"
The three men sit on the sofa in the living room. They had introduced themselves to me, so now I know their names. The man with monstrous voice and weird appearance is Sasori-san, Hidan-san's older brother. And the blonde who smirks a lot is Deidara-san, Hidan-san's younger brother.
Wow…they surely don't look alike from each other. I mean…black eyes and black hair, blue eyes and blonde hair, purple eyes and silver hair…they don't even look like cousins or something!
But…maybe they're stepbrothers?
Hey, stop wondering! It's their business, and I think it's impolite to ask such thing. What's the problem if they're different from one another? Their personality looks almost the same.
"So? Where are you two going to go?"
"Hm?"
I smile to them, "It looks like…we're not accidentally met in the forest, right?"
"Yeah, you're right," Deidara-san answers me lightly, "Actually we planned to go to Suna before the sun sets. Hm. We need to meet a certain person. And Sasori no D…I mean, Nii-san here doesn't really like to keep him waiting, hm."
"In case you don't know about this…we make him wait already," Sasori-san grunts, "It has been fifteen minutes! And it's not 'I don't really like to keep him waiting'…I really HATE it!"
"What bothers you, old geek?" says Hidan-san, clearly ignores Sasori-san's protest, "Who cares about him waiting or something? That asshole can wait much longer than that. Just enjoy your sweet time here,"
"Grrrhhh…you bastard…!"
"Now you pissed him off, Hidan nii-san,"
"Umm…I have an idea," the three turn their head to me me as I speak, "Sasori-san, you can still relax here for some more time and arrive at Suna right on time."
Sasori-san's small sharp eyes stare at me, "How?"
"I know some shortcuts," I get up and smile, "I'll pick a map on the library and tell you all I know. Please wait for a while."
"Wait?!" he looks a bit angry, "Don't you know that I hate it?!"
"Yes, but I need some time to look for it, Sasori-san,"
"Grr…just don't take too long!"
"Alright,"
I walk to the library and leave the three in the living room. They seem to chat about something, but it's too far for me to hear what they say.
Hidan's POV
That weird Sasori guy looks straight to me as Hazuki disappeared behind the walls.
I stare to him in reply, "What's with the eye, huh?"
"Do you MIND telling me what the hell is going on here? I'm not your brother and never plan to be!"
"Besides, I'm your senior on the organization," the blondie speaks, sounds annoyed, "I'm your Danna, for God's sake! Why should I be your little brother, hm? Why don't YOU be my little brother if it had to be like this? HMH!!"
"Lower your voices, idiots," I whispered, "Once she heard this she would never trust me again!"
Deidara snorted, "Ow, and why exactly do we need her to trust you, hm? Why are you afraid if she knows who you really are?"
I gasped a little.
…yeah…
Why?
Why I'm so afraid if she knows who I am? She's just a nobody, and it was just because she's my apprentice that I want to leave a good impression on her. That's it. I just want to show her that I'm her teacher, and that I can protect her if she needs to be protected.
Then why can't I tell her about this organization?
She's my student. She should know, right?
But if they know about her, I know they would kill her anyway because she means nothing to the organization. Yeah, seriously. That happened to everyone's underlings as far as I know. Maybe that IS the reason of why I'm afraid to tell her about the Akatsuki.
She's not my underling. I mean… not just my underling. I don't want her to die. And the only way to keep her away from the killing issue is not to let her know about me. About this Akatsuki organization. That means she remains innocent. And that means she's safe.
Hey…what was that?!
Fuck!
What was I thinking?
I want her to be safe? What the hell is this? I was never had this kind of feeling before. Not once. Was I just thinking about a certain female being with a special feeling on my mind?
Oh, seriously!!
"Jashin…forgive me…" I prayed.
"What?" Deidara asked curiously, "What were you saying?"
"Nothing,"
"I hear your muttering!" he insisted, "What actually happened between you and this little cutie?"
I stared at him, "Shut up, moron. I'll tell you what happened here but you have to disappear as quickly as I stop talking."
"Like I want to come here," he grunted.
"Okay, listen…"
I told him and Sasori the real thing. About I came here to spread my religion, about she became my apprentice. But I leave the feeling thingies for myself. They don't need to know.
Deidara snorted again.
"But why don't you come with Kakuzu no Danna at first, hm?" he grunts, "He's your partner, and since you joined Akatsuki, being with your partner is a must!"
I glares at him.
"Who are you to ask, bitch?"
"HMMMHH!!"
"Can't you two stop fighting?!" Sasori moaned with his gravelly voice, "Listen, Hidan. We're here to report your actions to Leader-sama. You need to inform us exactly the truth and…"
"And I did, assholes."
"…and," he continues, "Deidara is right. Be with your partner."
With those words, the two bastards walk through the door. Urh, I don't like them. Just as much as I don't like my so-called partner. Yeah, that stitch-face is one horrible looking guy. Sasori is ugly enough, but he's worse remember, he was just joined the Akatsuki in this story…so he doesn't know Sasori's real face yet
"Ano, Hidan-san?"
Huh?
I turn my head.
"Where are your brothers?" Hazuki shows up with two bundles of map on her hands, "I thought Sasori-san wants to know the shortcuts?"
"The big fat asshole is in a hurry," I grunted.
"They're leaving?" she looks a bit sad, "Well, I hope they can stay here a little longer tha… … urgh!!"
Crack!!
"Hazuki!"
She dropped the maps in a sudden move, before she lost her balance and fall to the floor. Quickly, I catch her body before it even touches the wooden panels.
Hazuki shivers heavily with her hands grab her neck. I feel her hot skin under my hands.
"M…my throat…" she squeaks, "I …c…can't…breathe…ack…"
I lie her down on the sofa, thinking. She still shivering, her neck is reddened a bit on where she grabs it. This is not a fever. It looks like one of the signs. She has to do that as soon as she can.
"Hazuki,"
Her eyes rolling to see me.
"He demands it," I tell her, "And He demands it now."
I can see her shocked eyes open wide, "Y…you don't mean…"
"You have to do the rituals now, seriously." I look at my rosary – it's shining – "Jashin is calling you."
