The way to your heart Ch.10
(Warning! Contains yaoi! Yeah I said it yaoi! But from whom, well…you'll have to read it to find out)
Where am I...it's so cold…when I open my eyes I find a large dark room barely illuminated by a single light bulb seeming to be suspended in mid-air.
Tap Tap Tap
What's that? It sounds like footsteps.
Tap Tap Tap
And they're getting closer. I look around but I don't see anything only darkness, suddenly a figure steps out of the shadows, his red hair seeming to glow under what little light the bulb provided.
"Sasori Danna, un?" I ask.
"Hello Deidara." He says a light smile on his face.
"Sasori Danna!" My joyous cry seems to echo throughout the entire space, but I pay it little attention while I run towards the other man. "Sasori Danna, un!" I say again, allowing my feet to carry me as fast as possible towards the bright light, and within it my Danna.
But wait…something is wrong, I've been running for what's felt like hours but the distance between us hasn't lessened, in fact it seems to have grown larger.
"Sasori!" I shout, but instead of answering me he simply smiles, his eyes showing a deep warmness that one normally shows a loved one. Then without warning he starts backing up, back into the darkness of the shadows.
"No Sasori Danna please wait, un! Don't leave!" But it's too late he's gone, and seconds later the light follows leaving me in complete and total darkness.
"Deidara." A voice calls, but I can't tell to whom it belongs to, it's too faint and far away. I pick up the pace running towards where it seems the voice is coming from.
"Deidara." It calls again this time louder and more apparent.
"I'm right here, un! Please who's out there?"
"Deidara." This time the voice sounds so close, almost as if it were right behind me. I turn my head hoping to see my Danna, but instead what I see sends chills through every fiber of my being.
"Hello again dear Deidara." The frightening man says, his snake like eyes seeming to light up the darkness around us.
"Y-You." I stammer too frightened to move.
"Yes me." He smiles stepping closer. "It's sooo wonderful to see you again."
"W-Where's Sasori D-Danna, un?" I say, watching his every footstep as he gets closer and closer and closer until less than a foot of space separates us.
"Awe, now why must you go and ruin our time together by bring up him?" The man says shaking his head, a light chuckle in his throat.
"D-Do you k-know where he is or not, un?" I try to make my voice sound strong, but it comes out in a nervous stutter.
"Hugh fine, if you must know he's right over there…see." He says pointing to no spot in particular, until suddenly another light bulb comes on, seeming to light only a single pillar of darkness. Then as if forming from nowhere a hand starts to reach from the darkness and into the light.
"Sasori Danna." I say as I once again take off running. There is no doubt in my mind that it's him, the hand in the light displays the same small knicks and scars that have always been there from when he would carve wood to make his puppets. But something isn't right, I stop. From the way the fingers are positioned I can tell it's his right hand, but that's not possible Sasori's left hand is fake, the real one long since replaced with a special faux one that only appears to be real, but in reality was must more durable and always kept flawlessly smooth, those markings shouldn't be there.
"Sasori Danna, is that you, un?" I ask hesitantly reaching out taking the others hand in mine, it feels so cold, and the skin is so rough. I grab the hand tighter wanting to pull the owner into the light, but just when the elbow is about to enter the light….
"AHHHHH!" I release the hand stepping backwards and watching as it falls to the floor with a sickening 'plop'. I stare in horror at the dismembered limp, its pale skin seeming to glow in the light surrounding it. Every part of me screams that the severed arm belongs to Sasori, but the question was, why the hell was it no longer attached to his body?
"ahahaha." I turn my head, only to find the man standing before me, letting out a laugh that made me feel as if I were staring into the face of death itself.
"AHAHAHAHA!"
"NO!" I scream falling to my knees shaking my head, willing all of this to be fake.
"Deidara."
"AHAHAHA!"
"NO! THIS ISN'T REAL!" But when I look up he's still there laughing, a long purple tongue slithering from between his lips.
"Deidara."
"AHAHAHAHA!"
"STOP YOUR DAMN LAUGHING!"
"Deidara WAKE UP!"
"WHAT?" Without warning the blonde shoot up from his cot finally waking up, his face completely covered in sweat, his breathing rough and labored.
"Deidara are you ok?" A voice asked from beside the blonde. Deidara turned head only to find a worried Kisame his hand still on Deidara's shoulder from when he shook him awake. "You looked like you were having a nightmare, you were screaming a lot so I woke you up."
"W-Where am I, un?" Deidara says looking around, terror still clear in his eyes.
"You in the surveillance room, you know the one that Konan showed you when you finally became part of the Akatsuki." Kisame said, stepping back so Deidara could get a better look at his surroundings. Sure enough there was the large wall completely covered in monitors and shelves upon shelves of various equipment and jars. Suddenly a thought occurred to Deidara.
"That man, he…he was here, and he said that you guys were old friends, then he let off a smoke bomb….and….and then I heard shouting and guns were fired…where the hell is everyone, are they alright?"
"Deidara! Deidara! Just calm down, everything is fine, everyone is safe." Kisame said, trying to calm down the nearly hysteric blonde.
"…Kisame what happened, un?" Deidara side lying back down, covering his face with his arm.
"Well….as you said that guy came here and, things just got kind of nasty. He released a smoke bomb like you saw in order to escape then Itachi and I, along with Pein and the others-minus Konan-chased after him but he disappeared. When I came back to assess the damage you were…..already here and out cold."
"Who was that guy, un?" Deidara said rolling his head so his eyes peaked out from under his arm, apparently not having noticed the slight pause in Kisame's words.
"….Um, I don't-"
"His names Orochimaru, and he used to be a member of the Akatsuki."
"Sasori!" Deidara said sitting up straight, a surprised look on his face.
"What no Danna? Or 'un' for that matter, I'm shocked." Sasori smiled taking a seat next to the blonde.
"What are you doing here, un?" Deidara asked.
"Do you not want me to get here?" Sasori said, an almost sad look on his face.
"No! No, it's just that….what time is it, un?" Deidara asked looking around for a clock.
"Its 3am, you've been asleep for almost 5 hours." Kisame said, a caring look on his face.
"3 am! Geez I can't believe it's that late, un."
"What I can't believe is that you didn't sleep longer, after that day you've had I was expecting you to be out at least until morning." Kisame chuckled.
"Well Deidara's tough he can handle himself, a burning building and a few explosions aren't going to mess with his sleep." Sasori said, a warm smile on his face.
"…ugh…" Deidara muttered, blushing slightly, while Kisame eyed the redhead knowingly.
"Wait! What…what I mean is…" Sasori said his face going red.
"What he means is…" Kisame continued. "Is that he's impressed that you've handled today as well as you have, you've proven yourself to be on hell of a police officer."
"Thanks." Whispered Sasori.
"Thanks Danna, un." Deidara smiled. "Oh! Hey has everyone been told about the information Zetsu discovered?"
"Yes, when we returned Zetsu found it necessary to tell us right away, Konan's already launching an investigation, but just because she's going to be on crutches for a couple weeks doesn't mean she's going to be any less active, but she is a hell of a lot more bossy."
"That's our fearless leader for you, un." Deidara chuckled.
"Hey Kisame could you please come here for a second?" Itachi called from the hallway.
"Sure, coming!" Kisame said leaving but not before sticking his head back into the room for one last word. "Hey Deidara I thought I'd tell you, your friend Tobi is here, he said he'd take you home as soon as you woke up. Zetsu's out there talking with him but he's supposed to leave soon, he as more work to do before we can really get this investigation under way." And then he was gone, off to see what he beloved Itachi wanted. (Probably him *wink* *wink*)
"Tobi's here, un? I better go I don't want to keep him waiting, although I should probably give him a couple more minutes." The blonde chuckled readying himself to leave, but even though Deidara was wake, that didn't mean the rest of him was. That's why when he moved his legs off the cot to stand they suddenly gave out sending him toppling towards the floor. Deidara reflexively closed his eyes awaiting impact…but it never came. Instead of feeling the cold floor rushing up to met his face, he felt a warm pair of arms wrapped securely around his body holding the blonde to their chest. Deidara couldn't help but feel a very strong sense of déjà vu. This is just like during the explosion, although it's different slightly, less…loving, but still warm and caring. Deidara thought.
"Sasori Danna…" Deidara said, smiling slightly as he enjoyed the warmth of his saviors' chest.
"Sasori? Deidara it's me Hidan." Deidara shot up immediately, and sure enough there was the silver haired man, his arms around Deidara along with a confused and almost…hurt look on his face.
"S-Sorry Hidan, I just thought…I didn't mean….thanks, I gotta go, Tobi is waiting for me." A flustered Deidara muttered as he hurriedly got up, refusing to look Sasori in the eye on his way out the door.
Deidara, Sasori turned to chase after the boy when something unexpected blocked his path.
"Please excuse me Hidan." Sasori said looking into the other mans eyes, but he only glared back refusing to move from his position.
"I said move, please." Sasori repeated his eyes growing dark. When Hidan still had yet to move, Sasori moved around him, brushing the others shoulder with his own on the way out the door.
When Deidara finally made it to the front of the building he found Tobi by himself, reading one of the magazines that were always kept there for people who came in.
"Hey Tobi, un, what are you doing he-"
"Deidara sempai!" Tobi cried glomping Deidara (again).
"Tobi! Why must you always tackle me every time you see me, un?" Deidara said struggling to get free of his friends
"Because Tobi is a good boy and good boys always make sure to show their sempai's that they care."
"Tobi I already know full well that you care about me, if you didn't you wouldn't be my best friend, un." Deidara smiled.
*sniffle*
"Tobi?"
"…"
"Tobi, are you ok, un?" Deidara asked, looking down at the shorter man.
"I'm fine sempai, I'm just really happy that you consider me to be your best friend." Tobi smiled, wiping his eye with the back of his hand.
"Hehe, come on Tobi let's get out of here it's been a long day, un and I just want to get home."
"Ok sempai!" Tobi yipped, grabbing Deidara's hand and all but dragging him out the door.
Although neither of them seemed to noticed the figure that was standing just around the corner, a smile on his face as he ran a hand through his red hair. That friend of his is an even bigger child than he is…didn't think that was possible. Sasori thought walking back to his office, but when he got there he was met with an unexpected surprise.
"What do you want Hidan?"
"I want to talk to you, alone." Hidan said his voice dark.
"Well I'm here and we're alone, start talking." Sasori frowned, crossing his arms.
Hidan merely stood there, leaning against Sasori's desk scowling, then without warning he moved forward, grabbing the redhead's shoulders and stared at him with an almost desperate look in his eyes.
"How do you do it?" Hidan practically yelled, lightly shaking the other's shoulders.
"Do what?" Sasori asked, surprise clear in his voice.
"You know what, how did you get Deidara to like you so much?"
"…What are you talking about?" Sasori whispered staring at the other.
"Awe come on man! You can't possibly tell me you haven't noticed." Hidan said, throwing his arms in the air and taking a few steps back.
"Hidan I honestly have no idea what you're talking about."
"Really? You absolutely haven't noticed?"
"Hidan for the love of sheep just tell me what the hell it is you're talking about!" Sasori said finally starting to lose his patience.
"Dude." Hidan said, his voice growing softer. "Deidara is in love with you."
"…Why would you say something like that?" Sasori said his voice light and stoic.
"Because it's true, I can tell just by the way he looks at you, and that's why I'm here, I just don't know what to do anymore. I myself am crazy for the guy, he's smart, brave, strong, hot as hell, and to top it all off…he's one of the nicest people I've ever met, I act all goofy and immature and he just continues to smile and laugh, always thinking of others always making sure I'm happy. I try so hard to get him to really love me but it seems that every time I so much as get one inch closer, you simply walk into the room and set me back a mile."
"Leave."
"What was that?" Hidan asked, straining to hear the redhead.
"I said I want you to get out." Sasori repeated his voice rising. "I don't know why you think this but it's not true, Deidara doesn't think of me as anything more than a friend."
"Sasori we both know that's not true, and the thing is you care for him too."
"But-"
"And don't even consider trying to deny it, you've already admitted it, to both Pein and Kisame."
"…Hidan I'm only going to say this one more time…" Sasori said putting his hand on the door handle. "…I want you to leave my office, yes I'll admit it's true that I have feelings for Deidara, feelings that are far stronger than that of a mere friendship but that doesn't mean he returns them. He's going out with you, he loves you."
"Sasori if that were really true then do you honestly think I'd be here asking the man to whom my boyfriend's heart really belongs, advice on how to get him to love me instead."
"…I thought I told you to leave." The redhead said refusing to look the other in the eye.
"Tsk, fine if you insist on being a jackass about I'll just take care of things myself. I'm determined to keep Deidara as 'my' boyfriend and if that means taking this fight up a couple notches then so be it." Hidan said slamming the door behind him.
Damn, Sasori slumped in seat resting his head in his arms. Things have really changed since you joined, he eyed Deidara's desk the shadow of smiled gracing his lips.
~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~
"Gooood mooooorning Dei-Chaaaaaan!" Hidan sang, surprising Deidara before he'd even set foot in the police station.
"Um, good morning Hidan, un." Deidara said, slightly confused at the early greeting.
"It's it a wonderful day?" Hidan said, holding the front door open for Deidara.
"Yeah, I guess, un."
"And you would you like to know why today is so wonderful?" Hidan grinned, putting his arm around the blonde's waist, pulling his close.
"S-Sure, un." Deidara muttered blushing slightly.
"It's a wonderful day because now you're here." The silver haired man replied placing a gentle kiss on the blonde's cheek.
"Oh…That's really sweet, un, thanks." Deidara smiled, although still slightly confused.
"You can make any day better just by smiling." Hidan whispered, nuzzling against Deidara's cheek, then very slowly he pulled back looking the blonde in the eyes, smirking when he saw the light redness in the blondes cheeks. "You know you're beautiful, right?"
"U-Un?"
"Every part of you, it should be illegal for someone to be so radiant, your hair's so bright, your skins so soft, but of course your lips are softer…" Hidan said slowly bringing his face closer to the others, while Deidara was too stunned to move much less tell him to stop. Their lips had just barely brushed when an unexpected voice broke through the quiet air.
"Hey Deidara, Konan need to talk to yo-" Pein said, stopping mid-sentence when he saw the scene he'd accidentally come upon. "Am I interrupting something?"
"Um no, un, I need to talk to her anyway." Deidara said quickly detaching himself from Hidan. "I wanted to check up on her, make sure she's ok and everything." He finished disappearing from sight, Pein soon following suit.
Damn I was so close The silver haired man thought leaning against the wall. Damn Pein, if he hadn't interrupted I'd be so much closer to really winning Dei's heart. Suddenly a flash of red caught the man's eye, when he turned his head there was nothing but empty hallway, although that one spark of red had been enough. Don't think I'm giving up just yet Sasori I'm not done, not by a long shot.
~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~
Target in sight….3….2….1 GO! "Hey Deidara!" Hidan greeted the now startled blonde, causing him to drop all his papers.
"H-Hey Hidan, un." Deidara stuttered as he bent down to retrieve his work, Hidan joining him as they collected the papers. "What's up, do you need something?"
"I didn't know I needed a reason to want to see my cute little Dei-Chan." Hidan whispered seductively, moving closer to the blonde.
"Oh…well that's very nice, un, I'm glad you care so much to want to." Deidara smiled, giving Hidan a light hug, only when he went to pull away the silver haired mans arms wrapped themselves around Deidara's body. So there they sat in the hallway of the police station still surrounded by papers, their arms wrapped around each other, and neither one moving. That was until Hidan released one of his arms from around Deidara, reaching up to cup the blondes chin in his hand slowly brining their faces closer together.
What the hecks going on? Deidara frantically tried to figure out the other motives to their actions. Well we have been dating for a few weeks, and we've never really kissed, I guess it shouldn't surprise me that he would want to but still, I can't help but think this isn't a good idea.
There was no less than an inch between their lips, the space between them growing smaller with every passing moment. To someone on the outside they would see that only a few seconds have passed, but to Hidan it felt far longer. I'm so close if I can just get one good kiss then I'll be guaranteed the number one spot in Dei's heart.
"Hey brat where are those papers you were supposed to be delivering?"
What are the odds? Hidan mentally screamed as the redhead came into view.
"What happened here?" The redhead asked raising one red eyebrow at the mess before him.
"Hidan sort of surprised me, un." Deidara said moving quickly to clean the mess.
"…Here let me help you, the sooner it gets done and delivered the better." Sasori started collecting the papers, trying to gather them all into a neat pile, not even looking where he was moving until…
"OW!" Both Sasori and Deidara said as their heads made contact. They sat there for a few seconds rubbing their sore spots slight frowns on their faces until they caught the others eye, immediately braking into light waves of laughter, all while Hidan watched a slight frown on his face.
"D-Danna…are you….alright, un?" Deidara struggled to get out between laughs.
"Yeah, but I can already tell that I'm going to be feeling this later." The redhead chuckled.
"Ahem! Here Deidara, I finished gathering the papers." Hidan said handing over the now neat and orderly stack.
"Thanks, un." Deidara smiled taking them and standing.
"So where were you headed anyway?" Hidan asked.
"Your office, un."
"My office?"
"Yeah, un, Kakuzu needed these tax forms in order to figure out the new budget." (A/N: We here at Wolfgirl4716inc would just like to remind you that like everyone one else-except Pein and Konan, they're special ^^- Kakuzu and Hidan share an office….ok that was just a little reminder….you can go now….leave.)
"He's going to be pissed that they're out of order." Sasori commented.
"Well Dei won't have to worry about that because if he does then I'll just tell him it was my fault." Hidan chimed in, stepping closer to Deidara wrapping a protective are around the boys' shoulders.
"Thanks Hidan, un…well here I go." Deidara said stepping into the office. "Here are those forms you wanted, un." He said sitting the papers on the scarred mans desk.
"Thanks…what happened to them they're not in the correct order." Kakuzu said, clearly a little frustrated.
"I'm sorry, un, I just had a little accident in the hallway and dropped them, sorry."
"Sorry! Do you have any idea how long it's going to take me to get these forms in order?" Kakuzu's voice started rising, slightly startling the blonde.
"I-I'm sorry it was-"
"Hey Kakuzu lay off em', it's my fault I scared him and caused him to drop them, it's not his fault it's mine." Hidan had walked up to the miser's desk placing his hands on the polished surface, leaning over as he stared into the others eyes.
"…Fine, you may leave now I have a lot of work to get in order and I don't need any distractions." Kakuzu had already started sorting through the paper's, eyes focused on nothing but his work, although he did occasionally glance up at a certain silver haired Jashinist.
"Wait what? I tell you that 'I' drop them and you start to yell at me but when Hidan tells you it's 'his' fault it's all 'fine you may leave now' what's up with tha-" A hand had clamped down over the blondes mouth, silencing his speech before he could continue any further as he was slowly pulled out the door by a firm grip on his shoulder.
"Brat it would be wise to just shut up and leave…hey are you alright?" Without warning a strange look had come into the blonde's eyes, they looked almost…afraid? Suddenly the blonde swiftly grabbed the hand covering his mouth, all but ripping it away from his face and stepping back and away from the redhead.
"DON'T EVER do that again." Deidara said his voice coming out in a low growl, surprising the others with his strange sudden behavior.
"D-Deidara I'm sorry." Sasori said taking a step back, holding both his hands up in a manner that showed he wasn't going touch him much less harm him.
Deidara's eyes suddenly blinked, turning his head as if coming out of a trance, seeing the strange looks the others were giving him. "Please excuse me, un." He said running from the room.
"Deidara…" Hidan murmured taking a step forward, prepared to chase after the blonde.
"No, I'll go." Sasori said walking out the door before Hidan had a chance to object.
"What do you think that was about?" Kakuzu asked.
"I…I have no idea." Hidan muttered going over to his own desk, taking a seat in his chair that was covered in patches of duck tap. Hidan seemed to have a habit of ripping holes in the faux leather material, and many a times Kakuzu had had go out and buy him a new one, but one day he just got fed up with having to replace the chairs all the time so now Hidan was forced to use one that was rough and ripped up. Although the silver haired man said he didn't mind it in the least, claiming that it was actually more comfortable this way.
Hidan and Kakuzu's shared office was much like Sasori and Deidara's but with one slight difference, there were no windows. Kakuzu wasn't exactly a big fan of them so he took an office located in the center of the building so as to better avoid the-as he claimed-unneeded distraction.
"What's with you?" The scarred man asked, turning his head back to his paper work. Although being careful so he wouldn't see it, he always kept one eyes on Hidan, a look of concern over taking his eyes.
"To be completely honest I have no idea, I try so hard to get Deidara to really love me but everything I try to do just keeps backfiring."
Kakuzu almost dropped his pencil, slightly surprised at the unexpected turn their conversation had taken.
"I mean." Hidan continued, not have seen Kakuzu's little almost-slip. "Twice I've tried to really kiss him, but something or someone keeps interrupting us."
"Wait." Kakuzu said slightly intrigued. "Are you saying that you guys have been dating for 3, 4 weeks and you haven't even kissed yet?"
"No…I mean yes…wait, what I mean is…..UGH! What I mean to say is yes we've kissed but nothing more than a peck, it's never been a real, serious melt-your-heart kind of kiss."
"Hidan I-"
"And I'm just so sure that if I can kiss him with everything I've got, then I can finally stop worrying about whether or not Sasori is going to steal him from me."
"Hidan why is it you think a kiss will be enough to make him fall in love with you?"
"Hehe, come on Kakuzu you of all people should know the answer to that one, after all one kiss was all it took for us to fall in love all that time ago….."

(YAY! Flash back time!)
Time: 3 years ago, Hidan's first day as an official Akatsuki member.
Place: Akatsuki HQ
Setting: After 1 year on the force Hidan has just been told about the special Akatsuki division, while the 'entire' group has gathered to watch.
"You fuckers have got to be shitting me!" Hidan exclaimed staring in amazement at the confines of the secret room, eyeing all the monitors and shelves he couldn't help a mix of wonderment (Idk if that's a real word but it stays!) and….gas? Maybe he shouldn't have had that leftover 3 bean burrito for lunch.
"Hidan you've been with us for how long and you still use such vulgar language?" Konan said pinching the bridge of her nose between her fingers, swinging her head by and forth in disbelief.
"Awe come on Konan at least I've stopped calling you a bitch." To your face.
"Yeah, but you know full we that you're supposed to refer to me as 'Chief' Konan, not Konan, not bitch, not Chief bitch, and most certainly not 'Major pain in the ass'."
"Hey I forgot all about 'Major pain in the ass', ahhh good times, good times." The silver haired man smiled.
"Hidan would you just shut up for one second and let 'Chief' Konan explain this to you?" Kakuzu muttered, rubbing a sore spot on his neck, fingers massaging into the soft tan skin. Hidan often found himself admiring how smooth and flawless the man's skin was, not a blemish or even a scratch seemed to ever find its way onto the man's perfect surface.
"Thank you Kakuzu, now as I was saying it's become apparent that you're strong and trustworthy enough to be able to handle a position such as this."
"And just exactly how often does some poor unfortunate douche bag get accepted into this place?"
"My dear sliver haired man." Came a quite hiss. "It really isn't very polite to use such foul language in front of a lady."
"And it really isn't polite to go around raping little kids now is it Orochifuckyou?" Hidan spat back.
The pale dark haired man simply smiled, allowing his long tongue to slither out between his lips. "And that pretty boy is exactly the type of language that will get you killed."
"Is that a threat?" Hidan hands were already balled into fists as he started to advance.
"ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH!" Konan yelled. "Hidan don't make me regret this, Kakuzu I want you to take Hidan back to your office and explain the rest to him there."
"Yes ma'am." Kakuzu said gently taking Hidan arm and pulling him towards the exit.
"It's go hard to find good police men these days, but sadly we're stuck an idiot who believes in a fake god." Orochimaru chuckled.
"THAT'S IT!" Without warning Hidan had shot free from Kakuzu's grasp, charging straight for a smirking Orochimaru an almost wild look in his eyes as he raised his fist, clenched so tight it was pure white from the loss of circulation.
"HIDAN STOP!" But it was too late, Hidan let his fist go, snapping forward aimed straight for Orochimaru's face. The sound of contact was almost defining throughout the quite room, the others' stared in shocked awe as Orochimaru was sent flying backwards, the force from the hit to the jaw sending him to the floor.
"Hidan have you lost your mind?" Konan screeched as she moved to separate the men, Sasori rushing to his partner's aid while Pein, Kisame, and Itachi moved to stand between the two. "Kakuzu get Hidan the hell out of here now, I'll be having a little chat with him later!"
"Right!" Within seconds the taller man had Hidan's arms pinned behind his back trying very hard not to hurt him, but it was proving to be difficult for Hidan was struggling with all his strength to get free.
"LET ME GO! I'M GONNA BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THAT BASTARD!"
"HIDAN CALM DOWN NOW!" Kakuzu roared gripping the man tightly against his chest. Suddenly Hidan's resistance stopped, making the others stop and stare waiting to see what he was going to do next.
"Why didn't you stop me?" Hidan whispered.
"Hmm, what are you talking about my dear Jashin?" Orochimaru smiled wiping the blood from his chin with the back of his hand.
"We both know full well that you could've stopped that punch if you had wanted to, so now I ask you…WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING AT?"
"I have absolutely no idea as to what you're talking about, your attack took me by complete surprise but I suggest you shut your mouth, if I wanted to I could easily press charges." The prominent smirk on the snake like mans mouth was enough to get Hidan revved up as he once again began to struggle against Kakuzu's restraints.
"Kakuzu get Hidan the hell out of here now!" Sasori hollered as he handed his partner a clean towel.
"I'm trying!" The last thing that Hidan saw before he was pulled from the room was Oroichmaru's face, grinning with triumph as he winked at the departing man.
"I don't know why you're hauling me away, that crazy snake man is the one who shouldn't be trusted! I swear to Jashin he's going to get us all killed one day and it won't be an accident!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP NOW!" The white haired man complied, taken slightly taken aback by his partner's rash words.
"Hidan for the love of your damn god would you please just listen for once in your life to what Konan is trying to tell you without picking a fight with the other guys on the team! I mean what were you thinking attacking Orochimaru like that, do you want to go to jail? Do you want to force your friends to have to arrest you? Well I'll tell you right now, if it comes to that I am NOT going be the one to take you away in handcuffs!"
"…Are you done?" Hidan whispered, his arms still pinned behind his back.
"NO! I am not done! You need to understand that what you just did in there was stupid and you may have just ruined your life! You didn't just hit Orochimaru you hit a police officer, and as much as I think he deserved it you just can't do that, god I feel like I'm teaching fundamentals to a little kid." Kakuzu released one of his hands to bring it up to his forehead, fighting back the headache he was sure was on its way.
"…Done?"
"Yeah, I'm done." Kakuzu said releasing Hidan from his restraints, allowing him to walk over to his desk and sit down. "I just don't want to see you throw your life away because if a jackass like Orochimaru."
"Heh, from the way you talk you actually sound like you give a damn about me."
"…Hidan you're my partner I'm supposed to give a damn about you, I sure as hell don't want to have to train a new rookie like I had to when you first joined, although I bet if it were anyone else they wouldn't give me nearly as hard a time as you did." Kakuzu chuckled at the memory, remembering the first time he'd seen the silver haired Jashinist.
Kakuzu had been forced to stand outside to wait for the man seeing he was over an hour late at the time, when suddenly here comes this crazy motorcyclist speeding swiftly up the road and screeching to a loud halt right in front of the stunned miser. You can only imagine Kakuzu's surprise when he found out that that man had been his new partner.
"Yeah, I really gave you a run for your money, which I quickly learned was not a wise thing to do but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm surprised that you're scolding me like this, I've always thought that we'd always hate each other."
"That's what I thought too at first, the day we met I remember I couldn't stand the sight of you now…I consider you to be one of my closet friends." Kakuzu said turning his head refusing to look Hidan in the eye, a light blush covering his face.
Hidan looked at the man in near disbelief. "Geez Kakuzu you talk like you're in love with me." He gave a light chuckle but his voice was low and soft, he walked over to the other man wanting to look him in the eye.
"Why would I love you, you're just an annoying kid." Kakuzu meant for his words to sound harsh and cruel but they ended up sounding small and meaningless.
"…Kakuzu….do you like me?" Hidan was now right before the taller male, purple eyes starring deep into green ones.
"…No." The miser said closing off his green eyes to the outside world.
"Oh…alright then." Hidan hung his head slightly dejected as he started to walk away but just as he was about to take his first step an unexpected arm shot up, grabbing Hidan as his cry of surprise was muffled by a pair of soft, warm lips covering his own. Hidan slowly kissed back wrapping both his arms around Kakuzu's neck as Kakuzu's own arms found their way around Hidan's slim but toned waist. When it finally came time for air it was Kakuzu who pulled away first.
"I said I didn't like you, but that's because it's hard to simply like anything about someone when you're in love with him."
"Hehe, thought so." Hidan said roughly grabbing the others neck and pulling their mouths back together. With their arms wrapped tight around each other they felt as if nothing would ever happen that would tear their love for each other apart.
Little did they know that just outside the door the very man that would cause just had been listening, and evil grin on his face as he rubbed the ever redder sore spot on his jaw, a sadist chuckled weaving its way through his lips.
"Orochimaru?" Said man turned around, a surprised look on his face as saw the redhead before him, and although on the outside he looked startled, in reality he'd heard Sasori's footstep coming since he'd left the kitchen. "What are you doing standing outside Hidan and Kakuzu's office, are you trying to start another fight with him?" The redhead asked suspicious of his partner's actions.
"No I'm not looking for a fight, I actually came by to apologies, I shouldn't have spoken to him like that it was rude."
At this Sasori smiled. "It's not your fault Hidan thinks you're out to kill us all, honestly I don't know why Konan let him join in the first place, if anything he's going to be the one to get us all killed while you'll probably be the one to save us." Sasori said placing the cool ice pack on the now swollen cheek.
"Awe, my little Sasori you flatter me, but rather than this ice I know something that will make me feel much better much faster." Orochimaru said a predatory gleam in his eye.
"And what would that be?" Sasori said catching on.
"This." The next second Orochimaru had Sasori wrapped securely in his arms, his lips roughly smashing into the others. They quietly stood like that for a few moments before finally separating.
"Come on, we still have rounds to do." Sasori smiled, grabbing the other's hand and moving to walk down the hall with Orochimaru close behind him. And because Orochimaru was behind him Sasori failed to notice how when they passed Itachi and Kisame in the hallway the wolfish, hungry grin he gave the onyx eyed boy. Although Kisame did notice, for the second he saw the look Orochimaru was giving his partner he immediately pulled the shorter boy against his chest glaring at the snake man as he passed while he just smiled and continued walking, following his partner down the hall and out the exit.
"…Kisame." Itachi murmured. Kisame looked down blushing when he realized that he still held Itachi in his arms, they never so much as purposely touch but there they were, standing close enough to feel each other's rapidly speeding heart beats.
"Um…s-sorry about that Itachi." Kisame said quickly letting the other go, taking one step back.
"I-It's ok, actually I appreciate it Orochimaru actually gives me the creeps. Hey Kisame?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you be disappointed in me if I told you that when Hidan hit him I was silently cheering him on, hoping he'd do it again?"
"Only if you won't be mad at me for not stepping in sooner when I know for a fact I could've grabbed him before his fist made contact."
"Not in the least." Itachi smirked, leaning against the wall crossing his arms over his chest. "To be completely honest I don't think Hidan is too far off the mark, I don't trust Orochimaru not in the least, if anything I think he's planning something."
"What do you mean?" Kisame asked, leaning against the wall next to Itachi, both of them smiled when Kisame's arms brushed against his partners.
"Once I walked by his and Sasori's office when I heard him talking but there were no other voices besides his own, at first I thought he was talking to Sasori but then I remembered that I'd seen him leaving for patrol not 5 minutes earlier."
"I hate to say it but I'm actually taking Hidan's side on this one, I don't like Orochimaru and I don't care if he's one of the best on the team, I can just see him doing something that's going to get someone hurt…or worse."
(End Flashback!)

A thoughtful look graced Kakuzu's features at the thought of the sweet memory. "Yeah things were really different back then, but times have changed you're with Deidara now and I'm too busy with work to care for others."
"I know…but I'm glad we're still friends and you know I consider you to be my closest as well even if you do annoy the hell out of me sometimes." Hidan smirked.
"I could say the same about you, although you have changed a lot since Deidara got here."
"Really? How so?"
"Well for one, your language has cleaned up…a lot."
"Hfm, it hasn't cleaned up that much." The Jashinist said pouting and crossing his arms like a child.
He's so cute like that "O'really? Well allow me to prove it, you used to not be able to go one sentence without uttering a curse word and now it's rare to hear you say something even remotely foul in one day."
"Seriously? I guess I haven't noticed, I mean at first I tried to control myself so Deidara would find it more pleasant to be around me but now I guess I'm just used to it, like back when I would curse a lot it was just something I did without thinking."
"I kind of miss it, it was something you did, it was….you." The scarred man mentally cursed himself, turning his head when he felt his face start to heat up, COME ON! Can't I give that stinking silver haired Jashinist a damn compliment without blushing? What is wrong with me?
"Awe, you flatter me."
"What?" Kakuzu said, his face bright red now.
"Haha, come on Kakuzu you know I was just kidding there's no need to get mad about it."
"Huh? Oh yea, just don't do it again I have too much work to do without you saying stuff like that." Kakuzu said glad that Hidan had though he blush was from anger rather than….well you know *wink*
"Tsk, fine whatever." Hidan leaned back in his chair, his feet up on his desk as his put his arms behind his head and closed his eyes, giving a certain green eyes dark haired man the perfect opportunity to keep an eye on him. *cough* check him out *cough* XD
The only reason I broke up with him was because after the accident and I got all these scars I thought he wouldn't like me anymore, so I beat him to the punch to try and save myself the pain, I guess I was wrong and it's too late now he's with Deidara and I can't be mad because that damn blonde is actually a good person and treats Hidan well. Although it's only a matter of time before he finally realizes that he and Sasori have something together, then he'll leave Hidan and then I'll have him all to myself *kukuku* Wait! I shouldn't think like that, I want Hidan to be happy so I should try to help him as much as I can, even if it means he'll never be…mine.
"Hey Hidan."
"Hmmm?" Said person mumbled opening one eye.
"I think I have an idea as to how you can get that…kiss."
"Really? How?" Hidan said shooting forward and leaning heavily on the others desk.
Here I go "Well you could invite him over for a movie, that way you'd be along with no one to interrupt you. And if you were to watch a horror he'd probably latch onto your arm whenever he got scared."
"That's an awesome idea! Thanks Kuzu!" Hidan cheered leaning over the side to the desk to give his partner a back breaking hug, apparently not having realized the name he'd called his partner. "I've got to go find Dei! See ya later Kakuzu wish me luck!" And with Hidan was gone, running out of the room off to find his pretty blonde boyfriend.
"Good luck." I hope you'll be happy.
