Hinata's P.O.V.
The world seemed to freeze, the smoke moved slowly. The enemy was shouting commands, Hidan's hand grabbed my own.
"Kiba, Shino, Hinata, stay alert!" He shouted, adding, "You really think their that weak,Ichirou?! Damn coward!"
Ichirou's response sent me and Hidan flying back. Hidan's arms wrapped around me as we crashed through a tree.
"You ok?" he asked, smiling at the pain.
"Yes. We have to thin the smoke. Kiba and Akamaru can smell the enemy, Shino's insects… Can probably find the enemy, but you can't use your scythe in this," I answered.
Kiba and Akamaru stood suddenly by me.
"Hidan, what is this?" Ichirou's deep voice growled, hands wrapping around my throat.
The smoke thinned, Hidan's voice was filled with hate, "Let her go, you damned piece of shit. Who the hell do you think you are?"
The grip tightened, I gasped slightly. I struck him in the arm using the gentle fist. His grip tightened.
"Foolish girl, behave," he said, swinging me into a tree. The pain made me cry out. Kiba's claws slashed Ichirou in the face, Akamaru clamped around his leg, and Hidan's scythe flew by. Ichirou had dodged.
"Bad dog."
Akamaru went flying. Ichirou's grip lightened slightly.
"Why do they try to save you? You are only in the way. They should kill you, then they could win," he whispered into my ear.
"Because… They are my friends… and Hidan… is my world…" I coughed, "I'd gladly die for him."
"I can arrange that. But, I need to use you to anger him," Ichirou laughed.
"Hi-" I tried to scream, but his grip tightened.
"You don't learn," he said, slamming me into the ground. My vision began to fade, but I felt lips touch mine.
Hidan's P.O.V.
Ichirou's lips touched Hinata's as she went limp. My body tensed, rage flooded through me. Her half scream rang in my mind.
"I'm not even going to sacrifice you. I'm going to slice you and watched you slip into death, and ejoy every second!" I said coldly.
I charged him, slicing his arm. I caught Hinata and retreated back. I laid her against a tree, kissing her forehead.
"I know I'm a monster, perhaps a demon, but I do this only to save you. I will not sacrifice him. For you, I give up everything," I whispered.
I stood, facing Ichirou. His blood dripped from my scythe.
"You have my blood, now use it," Ichirou spat.
I ran at him, launching my scythe. It slashed through his other arm, my fist met his face. Kiba and Shino must have been shocked, because I was too. I could kill him quickly, but his face after he kissed my angel flashed through my mind. The surprised pleasure, a look of enjoyment. He would have used her as a shield, and after defeating us, he would torture her. Just as he had to the poor village Priestess back then. She had watched her people fall. And he kissed her, then cut her, kissing her, smiling sickly. He kissed and cut her, till she bled no more. Then Kakuzu made the offer. Back then, I didn't care.
"Hidan…San…" Hinata said softly. Ichirou dashed at her, I swung my scythe.
"Kiba, Shino, protect her. Ichirou is mine."
His rougue ninja stood ready to attack. As they went to dash foreard, an army of blondes in orange struck. Naruto Uzumaki had appeared to help.
"We've got these guys, Ex-Akatsuki. Take him out," he said.
"Watch yourself, fox," I replied.
