My family left at 5 o'clock Friday evening. I was glad, I loved my family don't get me wrong but they were a handful and I had never really fit in well with them. I was the only one in my family that liked to read, the only one who hated sauerkraut, mushrooms and onions.
A lot of things were on my mind. For one, that little shit, Kakuzu had destroyed one of my good curtains. The ones I put up just for my family visit. I even caught him at it. He didn't even try to act innocent. It was like he was rubbing the fact he was a S-rank ninja that could kill me in an instant in my face. I resolved to kick him like a football next time I had Hidan in human form to protect me from Kakuzu's wrath.
Hadwin trotted up to me and gave me a look that practically oozed innocence and need. He obviously wanted to be human now. Good, I get to kick Kakuzu sooner rather than later. I kneeled down so I was closer to Hadwin's height. Closer not close. He was about a foot tall altogether and I was nearly three just sitting down. I picked open the scab that had been picked so many times it was now practically a scar even without healing completely over.
Hadwin licked up a large amount of the liquid that slid across the back of my hand along the scaring cut. He seemed to expand rapidly then he was human. He immedeatly stepped forward lifting my chin with his hand and lowering his lips to mine. I leaned into the kiss eagerly. He finally broke the kiss just when I thought I was going to pass out from lack of air. I felt my chest heave up and down trying to regain my lost breathe.
Hidan smiled down at me, amusement and love shining in his eyes. "I'm going to go kick Kakuzu, will you come with me to make sure he doesn't kill me?" I asked innocently. He grinned down at me. "Sure, the bastard deserves a good kick every now and again." Hidan agreed. I turned and walked towards the living room where I knew Kakuzu was lounging on the window seat.
As soon as I got close he jumped down to walk away and I set a soft kick at him. Not enough to damage his poor, little, kitten body but enough to make him cautious not to piss me off again. He dodged using one of his threads to pull him out of harms way and gave the closest expression a kitten could get to contept as he escaped my reach.
Damn, missed. Oh, well, I could try again later. He would be cautious for a while anyway. Stupid ninja paranoia.
"Now about our date," Hidan whispers in my ear as he sets his chin on my shoulder so his head is next to mine. "Go get ready and I'll get us set up." He said.
I looked at him confused. How would he pay for a date? They didn't even have the same currancey as us. He must've read my expression because he whispered "Don't worry about it." before I could even ask my question. I nodded, not understanding, but trusting Hidan to know what he was doing.
I ran up to my room and searched through my closet. I wanted to dress nice for Hidan. I searched and searched and finally found a dress I liked. It was a blue ruched cocktail dress, it had a sort of collar thing that turned into straps in the back, and it reached my knees. I sorted through my meager possession of shoes. I had four pairs of shoes. One pair of sneakers, one pair of flip-flops, one pair of klogs, and one pair of blue stillettoes that would go perfectly with my dress.
If I remembered right, this was the dress I wore to one of my friends weddings. Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was a sign. I wouldn't know.
I shimmied out of my clothes and slipped on the dress staring at my reflection in the mirror. I let my hair out of the ponytail I had it in and it spilled over my shoulders. I grabbed a brush off of my dresser and ran it through my hair a couple times, straighting it and making it more orderly.
I looked at my reflection and stared. I looked completely different. It was amazing what a snug set of clothes could do for a girl's figure. And I definately looked girly. The blue dress fit perfectly and it made me feel like a woman. More so than I usually ever do. The heels added three inches to my height. I would only be a couple inches shorter than Hidan instead of the usual head shorter.
"Shay, come down!" Hidan hollered up the stairs.
"I'm coming!" I called back looking at myself in the mirror one more time before walking towards the stairs. I held on the banister tightly as I walked down the steps, made even more hazardous then usual due to my footwear.
Hidan stood at the bottom of the stairs staring at me. I felt my face warm at his attention. I was blushing again. I had never blushed before Hidan came into my life, now I blush about everything.
"You look beautiful." His voice was huskier than normal. I felt a shiver of pleasure go up my spine at his voice.
Hidan was dressed in black ninja slacks, and a mesh topped tee-shirt.
"You look nice too." I said gazing at the skin shown by the mesh a little too long to be 'just looking'. It was more like ogling. I forced myself to look in his eyes and not stare at his exposed collarbone anymore. I don't know why but just that piece of bare skin drew my attention.
"So, where are we going?" I ask looking at him questioningly.
"Ah, that's a secret." He told me.
"How we going to get there if I don't know where to drive?" I asked.
"I'm going to carry you." He said bluntly before sweeping me up in his arms again.
"Where..?" I tried again.
"Close your eyes and relax. I'll tell you when we get there." He told me as he walked out the house with me in his arms.
"Fine," I mutter petulently.
I felt the wind carrass my face as we sped through the air. He was obviously hoping from roof to roof and I relaxed when I realized he wasn't going to drop me.
Fifteen minutes later I was set down. His hands went over my eyes before I could open them.
"Come on, Hidan. Let me see." I begged.
He chuckled. "Not yet, koi.[1]" He said gently leading me forward still covering my eyes.
We walked for almost four minutes before he finally stopped and let his hands drop from over my eyes.
It was beautiful. We stood on a small cliff overlooking a calm river. The sun was starting to set and was casting red, orange, yellow and pink light over the surface of the water. There was a blanket set off to the side with a picnic basket set up. I looked at Hidan, "I love it." I whispered leaning up slightly to kiss his lips softly.
His arm wrapped around my waist pulling me closer, causing the kiss to deepen. I moaned softly at the feeling of Hidan's hand making soft circles on my lower back and his tongue caress mine gently.
We finally pulled back and ate our picnic with light conversation. "This is the best date ever." I whispered to him. I had never had another date so saying it was the best date I ever had would have been understating how wonderful it was.
Hidan looked in my eyes deeply. "When we go back to our world, will you come with me?" He asked urgently. I stared up at him confused for several seconds until I realized he wanted me to go back with him. He wanted me to leave everything I knew to go with him.
Did I love him enough to give up my whole life here?
"Yes." I whispered. "Yes." I repeated at a normal voice.
Hidan immedeatly pulled me into his lap and kissed me fiercely. He kissed me like I was going to disappear any minute now.
When he finally pulled back I noticed a weight on my finger. On my right ring finger. It was a gorgeous ring. It was platinum, with a diamond. An engagement ring.
I squeeled in excitement an through myself at him. He caught me easily considering I was mostly still in his lap anyway. He pulled me tight against his chest.
"I'm guessing that's a yes." He told me.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!" I shouted excitedly. He grinned roguish grin and I beamed back at him.
Now when to have the wedding. Maybe when we went back to his world.
