Chapter 10: New Kids and an Unexpected Confession
Kakuzu always hated when his mom yells at him
'Well where are you?'
"Out" Kakuzu said not wanting to tell her the truth
'Where? You're such a good kid. Imagine my suprize when I get a call from your school young man. About you leaving during class! You never did this before. What happened?' she asked and Kakuzu sighed
"I'm sorry" Kakuzu said
'Where ever you are now you come home this instant! You're grounded'
"…But I'm doing something" Kakuzu said
'Drop it!'
"Alright… bye" Kakuzu said hanging up and looked to Hidan who was still leaning on his chest
"Got in trouble?" Hidan asked; he heard Kakuzu's mom on the phone and Kakuzu sighed
"Yes… I'm grounded. She wants me to come home now" Kakuzu said and Hidan sighed
"Then you should. Don't want you to be in more trouble, should've went back to school" Hidan said and Kakuzu shook his head and kissed Hidan's forehead
"It was worth it. Helping my boyfriend out and all" He said and Hidan looked to him and Kakuzu took the moment to kiss him, "I love you"
"I-I love you too" Hidan said flustered and handed the icepack to Kakuzu
"You need this Hidan" Kakuzu said and Hidan smiled and shook his head
"Trust me; it wouldn't if my dad finds it; which he will. He found my box fill with all my… well"
"Porn magazines?" Kakuzu said smirking at Hidan's blushed face
"I… I thought I hid them well… I hid the box under the floorboards under my bed… and he found them" Hidan said and Kakuzu nodded
"I'll continue bringing a few painkillers each day for you alright?" Kakuzu said and Hidan smiled and nodded showing Kakuzu to the door
"See you tomorrow" Hidan said kissing his lover before he left. Hidan sighed and sat down on the couch; he didn't feel this great in years. Kakuzu only thinks about him and what's good for him… Kakuzu is just an amazing person
The next day during lunch, Kakuzu sat down at their usual table; and of course alone.
"So how long are you grounded for?" Hidan asked
"A week, starting today" Kakuzu said and Hidan looked to him
"Sorry" Hidan said
"Naw, it's ok, it was worth it. So what happened with you know?" Kakuzu asked and Hidan smiled
"Surprisingly nothing, I think he might've been happy with the soup" Hidan said and Kakuzu smiled and ruffled the boy's hair gently
"Good. So did you hear about the 8 new kids? I didn't think I heard of so many…"
"Me neither. But it means more people to hate me" Hidan mumbled and Kakuzu sighed
"…Hidan…"
"It's ok Kuzu, really. I'm used to being hated by everyone but you" Hidan said sighing taking a bite of his sandwich as Kakuzu did, "Wasn't that readhead… Sasori was it? In our first class?"
"I think so" Kakuzu said and Hidan nodded
"He was in my second class too" Hidan said and Kakuzu was about to say something when the cafeteria doors opened
"Tobi, I said no!" along came a blond haired teen walking in with a black robe with a weird red cloud shape on it. Tobi, being the short black haired boy came up to him wearing the same robe
"But Sempai—" Tobi whined
"No Tobi, I do not want to eat with you; eat with Zetsu" Deidara said
"…But Pein-Sama told us all to not let you eat alone since what happened at our old school" Tobi said and the blond growled
"That wasn't my fault un!" Deidara yelled
"Yes it was" said a voice behind Tobi, and behind him were 6 others wearing the same robes
"Oh shut it Pein, you were there" the blond mumbled and Pein ignored that and looked around to see everyone stare at them
"So where should we eat?" Pein asked and saw the table Hidan and Kakuzu were sitting at. The other tables were crowded except that table and Pein started walking ober there followed by the other 7
"Can we sit here?" Pein asked and Hidan and Kakuzu looked at each other before Kakuzu tunred to Pein and nodded. Hidan watched as all the new kids sat down and Pein looked to him and Kakuzu
"I'm Nagato, but everyone calls me Pein" Pein, the orange haired person said and had a lot of peircings on his face
"I'm Konan" the blue haired girl said who was sitting next to Pein, she had a flower rose in her hair
"I'm Zetsu and this is Tobi" a really weird colored guy. He was half white and half black and sounds like he has two voices. Hidan and Kakuzu looked shocked but looked to Tobi who was waving with a smile on his face.
"I'm Deidara" Deidara said having his hand. This shocked Hidan and Kakuzu as he had moving mouths on his hands
"I'm Sasori" the redhead from class said "I'm in your class"
"I'm Itachi" the black haired teen said and pointed to Kisame, "And this is Kisame"
"Hey" Kisame said with a grin; he looks like a shark; he had dark navy blue hair and light blue skin… also he had what looks like razor sharp teeth and gills on his cheeks
"I-I'm Hidan and this is Kakuzu" Hidan said with a smile and Kakuzu's ex-friend Andy came up to the table
"Hey new kids, just so you know; you do not want to hang out with them" he said earning a glare from Kakuzu and Hidan. Pein, who was eating a sandwich, did not turn around to see the person who was talking to them
"Why is that?" Pein asked calmly as his friends watched in silence
"Hidan's a reject and Kakuzu chose to hang out with him rather than his friends" he said and right when Kakuzu was about to say something, Pein beat him to it
"For what possible reason do you call him a reject?" Pein asked
"He… uh" the boy said and Pein rolled his eyes
"Kakuzu is a smart guy. He seems to be the type of person who doesn't hate a person without a good reason" Pein said and turned around to the guy, "It's called real friend ship, none of that bullshit popularity classified, class, whatever the hell you call it, groups. Try actually having friends like that asshole" Pein said pissing Andy off
"Hey don't talk to me like that! My birthday's the first of the year, so I'm older than all the juniors including you!" Andy yelled
"Turned 17?" Konan asked and Andy nodded proudly
"Sorry to disappoint; Konan, Kisame and my 18th birthdays are coming up soon" Pein said earning a punch by Konan, "Ow Konan what the hell?" he asked rubbing his sore arm
"My birthday was 3 days ago. I'm already 18 you jackass" She said glaring at him not too happy that Pein forgot her birthday… again.
"S-sorry" Pein said hating when he pissed Konan off, but looked at Andy who looked shocked
"B-but you're juniors… you couldn't be turning 18 unless you—" He started
"Got held back?" Pein finished for him and nodded
"Why?" Andy asked
"Let's just say in junior high school we did something most people wouldn't be proud of if they did it" Konan said and a smile had hit Pein's lips
"Good times, good times" Pein said and turned to Kisame, "Right Kisame?"
"Hell yeah!" Kisame said grinning and fist bumped Pein's fist
"Still, I recommend you not hanging out with them" Andy said
"And I recommend you not to tell me what to do" Pein said in a calm but stern voice causing the boy to leave after saying something on the lines of they would regret talking to him like that.
"Way to go Pein" Deidara said clapping slowly, "Not even a day in and we already made an enemy, un" he said grinning
"I say that's a new record eh Pein?" Kisame asked grinning and Pein smiled and nodded
"Why did you stick up for me?" Hidan asked still shocked and saw that Kakuzu wanted to know the same and Pein looked to them
"No one should be hated for no reason" Pein said
"But you'll be hated too" Hidan said
"So? I have the best friends anyone could ask for" Pein said motioning his hand to his friends
"Lucky…" Hidan mumbled, "I was always hated by everyone at school and in town… since maybe first grade? Kakuzu's the only one to like me in any sort of way" Hidan said
"Why?" Konan asked and Hidan shrugged
"I don't know… I mean I didn't do anything…" Hidan said and sighed and looked to Kakuzu, "Do you remember if I did anything to make people hate me?" he asked and Kakuzu shook his head
"You didn't do anything" Kakuzu said
"Why was I hated then?" Hidan asked confused and felt Pein put a hand on his shoulder
"Well fuck them; we're your friends now" Pein said looking to his friends, "right?"
"Hell yeah!" Zetsu, Kisame, and Deidara said and the others nodded causing Hidan and Kakuzu to have wide eyes in shock
"Really?" Hidan asked
"Yeah, we're usually hated by a LOT of people. Now thanks to Deidara we're hated by our old school too" Pein said and Deidara glared at him
"It wasn't my fault un! It was that creep, what was his name Sasori-Danna?"
"Orochimaru…" Sasori said and growled, "he fucked with us all…"
"He's done with Sasori" Itachi said in a cool voice and Pein decided to change the subject quickly
"Like I was saying, we know what it's like to be hated; my only friend growing up was Konan. My friends didn't have many either. We met Kisame in 7th grade, got held back and met the rest of our friends" Pein said and Konan whispered something into his ear and he smiled and gave her a discreet nod
"So what happened at your old school to make them transfer you guys over here? Kakuzu asked
"Well let's say a part of our old school doesn't actually exist anymore and we were to blame" Konan said
"Why did they only blame us? Yeah like we were the only ones going to Akutama High School" Zetsu said and Kakuzu looked slightly confused and Konan smiled
"Please don't mind Zetsu, he has a split personality" Konana said and Hidan smiled
"That's cool!" Hidan said shocking the others since no one else thinks so and Kakuzu smiled at Hidan. He was so accepting of others, why didn't he see this before? Kakuzu then frowned
"Isn't Akutama High School for delinquents?"
"Yes" Itachi said calmly
"Don't get us wrong. We're good… just done things that most people aren't proud of" Konan said "the only thing 'good' means to us is sticking up and protecting our friends and what we think is right"
"Oh…" Hidan said
"Though we don't play by the rules" Pein said smirking
"Not Tobi" Tobi yelled
"No, not you Tobi, Tobi's a good boy" Zetsu said making Tobi smile
"So why did they send you here?" Hidan asked
"They said that this school is very strict with contacting parents even if their child is late to class" Pein said, "is that true?"
"We're living proof" Hidan said, "Kakuzu got grounded for ditching" Hidan finished and Kakuzu nodded
"There goes our freedom" Kisame groaned out and everyone started laughing
"Now you must be wondering about us" Konan said and Hidan and Kakuzu nodded. It turns out Konan loves origami, Pein loves piercings and they grew up with each other. Something happened with Konan's parents and Pein's mother took her in as her own, but hasn't exactly adopted. Kisame explained the reason he had blue skin, razor sharp teeth and gills like things. It turns out his mom was extremely high on some whacky drug and decided to throw her 6 going on 7 year old son into a bucket of toxic waste and it made him that way. The cool thing about the gills was he had the ability to breathe underwater, as well, on land.
"I think it's cool since I love fish and the ocean" Kisame said smiling
Deidara's hand mouths became what they were since when he was 5 he was neighbors with Kisame. His mom wanted him to get some sugar from the neighbors. So he went over to Kisame's house and right when Kisame's mom threw him into the bucket of toxic waste some splashed on Deidara. Deidara ended having 3 more mouths form, one on each hand and one giant one on his chest above the heart. The doctors decided that the one on his chest could cause problems and not wanting to take any chances they sewed the chest mouth shut.
"I came to love my hands; since they are awesome; and they can come in handy" Deidara said smirking causing Sasori to cough slightly
"B-brat" Sasori said. Sasori didn't mention his past but ended up living with Pein and Konan. Zetsu ended up having a rare disorder that made him white and black with green hair when he was born. His mom didn't want the baby and didn't have money to abort it so she decided to take as many drugs as she could and ended up making Zetsu the way he was. Zetsu ended up being alone most of his life growing up and the loneliness made him grow another personality to have someone to talk to. Unlike most split personality disorders where one personality comes out at one time; Zetsu's 2 personalities come out together.
"Kinda like one personality to one color" Hidan said grinning and Zetsu shrugged and nodded, "That's cool" he finished and Zetsu laughed
Tobi didn't reveal most of his past, but he lives with his dad and he is the half-cousin of Itachi. Itachi didn't reveal his past but something happened to make him live with Kisame.
These people have been through a lot even the ones who wouldn't reveal their pasts. Hidan could just tell and could tell that they would become great friends with him and Kakuzu.
"Kakuzu" someone said ad everyone turned to see Andy, "since Hidan's a reject freak and found a gang of freaks the actually belongs in, you should cut your losses and ditch the reject when you can" Andy said and everyone with the robes looked to Pein with the 'did he really say that?' look. Before Pein could do anything, Kakuzu had gotten up and punched Andy in the face causing him to fall to the ground
"Don't you ever fucking talk about my boyfriend like that!" Kakuzu snapped and Hidan looked at Kakuzu with wide eyes with part of his sandwich hanging out of his mouth. He never expected Kakuzu to do this as soon as he did. For proof for everyone, Kakuzu leaned down and put his lips on Hidan's
Everyone in the whole room gasped either in shock, disgust, pr both; even the yaoi fans as it was Hidan; the reject. Hidan couldn't move but a second later Kakuzu pulled away and saw Andy angrily getting up from the ground
"I can't believe I was friends with a fucking faggot! You know what? You two deserve each other!" he said in disgust and left. Kakuzu sat down seeing Hidan still shocked
"What? You thought I was going to let him get away with what he said?" Kakuzu asked and unable to speak, Hidan shook his head, "You shocked that I told them about us? He asked and Hidan nodded
"Why?" Hidan asked
"I love you" Kakuzu said and Hidan smiled
"I love you too" Hidan said blushing slightly
"Good sandwich by the way" Kakuzu said and it took Hidan a second to get it before laughing.
