Hope you enjoy this new chapter.
The lesson over time were simple lessons like history, geography and basically everything els that is needed in a school. While this school was to train hunters and huntresses it was still a school.
The Akatsuki had there own weaknesses and strength in certain subjects, even though most of them started to regret the decision to attain a school in the first place.
While everyone was doing more ore less ok, Sasori was flying high with his grades. Everything of this world seemed to fascinate him then everything els. Biology, chemistry, even the different kinds of Dust gave him so much inspiration for future projects.
There was one thing that didn't interest him and that was history. He did not care what other people did in the past, it was always the same old thing. One ruler gets pissed on by the other ruler and the soldiers need to fight it out in the name of pice, justice ore whatever they are told and believe blindly.
Kakuzu on the other hand thrived in history. He always loved to read old manuscripts and now that the has the chance to read up on a entire now world made him actually happy.
They were all in class and actually had history in this moment. Kakuzu may enjoy history and even discussing history with other people but this teacher was a joke.
Professor oobleck was a man who had messy green hair with a messy attire for a teacher and was permanently drinking his coffee. The problem wasn't what he was teaching, it was the fact that he was permanently moved around in class and unleashed a avalanche of information which were a bit hard to follow.
Itachi wouldn't admit it but even he had problems tracing this guy, it didn't even look like he was moving his legs as he appeared and disappeared in instances. Whatever kind of coffee they are giving to the teachers, Sasori had better Analyse it.
The only one of the Akatsuki that had a problem at the moment was Hidan. His grades have been in a extreme low for the longest of time. It's unclear if he is uninterested, lazy ore just actually stupid.
The immortal basically used most of the lessons to simply think about nothing after he lost the concentration that is needed to follow the lessons. Sadly this is happening more and more recently.
Currently his thoughts were on the subject of his lacking amount of sacrifices and action in is live. He could always repent to lord jashin, but that did not stop his itching finger from a fight. The only way to vent at the moment is for him to pick some fights with other students that ended in a fist fight and him getting detention.
The immortal didn't really listen again to whatever the teacher was talking about, something about the historical uprising of the Fanus. He regained focus again as he noticed Cardin who was sitting behind him shooting a pice of paper over the head of the immortal right into the neck of Jaune who was sitting in the front.
Jaune jumped a bit which caused professor oobleck to immediately appear before the boy. "Mister arc! How wonderful that you finally contribute to the lesson. Now, what kind of a advantage did the Fanus had against the generals attack during the night?"
"Uhhhh, the answer... to...that question is simply..." Jaune didn't know the answer and desperately looked over to his teammates who made some handgesteuerte around there eyes.
"Binoculars." Jaune answered completely sure that it was the correct answer to which the class chuckled.
"Very funny Mister arc. Cardin Winchester, maybe you know the answer?" The professor asked as he took another sip of his coffee.
"Well, I know it is easier to train a animal than a soldier." Cardin said, knowing exactly the racism that was behind his word.
Kisame growled at that comment. "It's almost like you want to be shredded to pieces by my blade." The shark said as shark skin next to him let out a audible growl. He actually managed to convince the school staff to allow him to carry his weapon with him because of its very unique nature.
Cardin huffed. "Big talk, but I'm sure you wouldn't say that if you hadn't your little freak by your side."
That comment actually hurt the feelings of shark skin as it let out another growl and the cloth started to loosen.
"Looks like someone made a mistake." Kakuzu said as he didn't move his eyes from the text book. This history has him quite captivated.
Before anything more could happen Konan clapped into her hands to get everyone's attention. "Kisame stop this nonsense at once, your better than that. Cardin if you would have at least listened a little bit in class you would have known that Fanus have night vision."
"You shut your trap bitch." Cardin simply stated with a growl.
Most students were only disgusted as Cardin simply said those words in class but the Akatsuki were frozen in fear. Kakuzu looked up from his book as everyone of the Akatsuki slowly turned towards Nagato. "You done fucked now buddy." Hidan simply stated.
Nagato slowly inhaled and exhaled as he put his pen to the side. The Rinnegan user slowly turned his head towards Cardin as Deidara actually his underneath the desk. "Care to repeat that?"
"What? So the blue haired bitch sleeps around with her team captain, ore is she more like the team whore." Cardin said with a grin.
Konan was read with rage as Cardin even suggested that kind of horrible role for her in the team, but all rage and disgust from her and the class faded as they felt a cold child run down there spines. Nagato was holding a small black ball in his hand which the Akatsuki members new what that was used for.
"Planetary dev-" he was interrupted by Itachi who slapped Nagato's hands away to break his concentration and dispel the jutsu before it began.
"How about we don't deviate the school alright captain of team NIKK?" Itachi said as he hoped to calmed Nagato down and prevent collateral damage in his attempt to kill Cardin.
Professor oobleck decided to end this lesson before anything might escalate. He didn't know what exactly what Nagato just did but he knew he didn't want to finde out. "Alright class, this lesson is over. Jaune, Cardin and Hidan. We four will have a little talke."
The students got up and prepared to leave, weiss however looked under Deidara's desk to see the artist still hiding underneath it. The blonde looked up at the confused heiress. "If only you knew what Nagato is capable of if anybody insults Konan like that."
"Now I don't know why you three have been struggling in my class, it may be stubbornness ore lack of interest but whatever it is it stops now." Professor oobleck spoke sternly to the three boys.
The immortal only rolled his eyes as he found this entire situation completely unnecessary. This school was for hunters not scholars ore anything like that.
Professor oobleck continued to talk. "History is important children, if you can't learn from it than you are bound to repeat it. Pages 51 up to 59. I want an essay on that topic on my desk next class. Dismissed." With that the professor disappeared in a rush.
As the three boys left the class room Cardin immediately pushed Jaune out of the way. "Hey fuck stick!" Hidan called out.
Cardin turned around and puffed out his chest with his arms wide open. "What's up you pice of shit? Want to mess with me?"
Hidan was just about to punch Cardin in the face before he remembered that he has been lately getting into more and more fights. He should hang a bit low so the school staff gets from his back. So the immortal just turned around and walked away.
He simply wanted to get back into his room and relax a bit. School was over for today so there wasn't anything else to do for now. As he was halfway to the dorms he heard a familiar voice. "Hidan wait up!"
The immortal turned around and spotted Ruby running up to him. "Hey Ruby." He simply said.
"If heard that you got into trouble with oobleck, what's wrong?" She asked concerned.
"Nothing is wrong, I just want to rest up a bit that's all." Hidan simply said as he wanted to move on.
"Come one Hidan, I can help you." Ruby said happy as she followed the immortal.
Hidan sighed annoyed. "I don't even get why we need to do this. I mean we will simply be killing Grimm right?"
Ruby laughed at Hidan's assumption. "There is more to it than that you know. Besides, better you learn now a diversity of skills in case you change your mind about being a hunter ore in case you can't continue to be a hunter."
"That's stupid, i am made for fighting there is no plan B." The immortal said as he crossed his arms.
"Well I think it's better to have alternatives if anything happens. I personally think that it might be a good idea for me to open a flower shop if I can't hunt anymore. I know it silly and doesn't pay out well but I just had that in my head." Ruby said as she pictured herself to open a flower shop.
Hidan chuckled as he thought about himself at a flower shop, like that would ever happen. If he couldn't fight anymore his plan B would probably be something awesome that fits him like...
His mind went blank and his smile disappeared as he stopped walking. What was he good at if it wasn't fighting? Selling things? Cooking? Cleaning? Non of those things seemed to fit him. "I guess killing is my one thing that I can do." It made his stomach turn as he admitted that if it wasn't for the way of jashin, than he'd be nothing more than a serial killer who did whatever he wanted for his hearts content.
"That can't be true. I mean we are still young and you couldn't have killed enough Grimm were you could say that it's the only thing you could do." Ruby said in hopes to make him smile again.
"I wasn't talking about Grimm. I was a killer before I even knew what a Grimm was." Hidan said not really concentrating on the conversation.
"W-what do you mean? What did you... kill?" Ruby asked slightly frightened. Surly he couldn't be taking about killing people.
Hidan looked over to Ruby and shook his head. "Forget it, just leave me alone." Hidan left Ruby standing in the hallway.
Deidara was currently in the chemistry classroom and tried different mixtures and bombinated them with samples of his clay. Thankfully is chemistry teacher knew how well Deidara and Sasori did with chemistry that he allowed the blonde artist to use this room as long as he doesn't use up all chemicals ore blows anything up.
He heard a knock on the open door and turned around. It was Weiss who entered the room. "Hello there Deidara, I heard some sound from here and I thought I'd investigate."
Deidara smiled. "In that case heiress, could you give me the a bit hydrogen chloride while you are here?"
Weiss just shrugged and did what the artist asked of her. As she placed the chemicals onto the table were Deidara was working she looked over his work. It seemed like Deidara was putting little drops of chemicals into a little clump of clay. "If I may ask, what are you doing?"
"You may ask, I'm actually trying to enhance my explosive clay. You see, were I'm from i couldn't get so much chemicals like this, so I'm experimenting a bit." He said as he happily continued to work.
As she continued to watch the artistic mixing some chemicals with different clumps of clay she couldn't help but noticed the closed mouths. She tried to ignore them for a while but couldn't stop herself from asking. "How do they work? Your... mouths."
Deidara looked at her and smiled as he let one mouth take a little bit of clay from the pils with its tong. It chewed a bit until it opened its mouth again to let a little white ladybug crawl out of it and onto his finger. "After I use one of them to create one of my sculptures it becomes alive to serve me. I can even enlarge it if I want to it either gather more clay ore even ride them."
Weiss watched in amazement as the little ladybug flew away from Deidara's finger and lazily hovered around. "But that isn't my art, this is." With one handsighe the little sculpture exploded. The explosion wasn't quite loud and wasn't big, however after the the sculpture explosion the chemicals reacted and let out colorful little sparks fly around. They evaporate before they could even reach the ground.
"That is amazing." Weiss said as she still had her eyes fixed were the explosion once was.
Deidara only smiled. "I know. My art truly welcomes the ultimate. Hm."
"And you do that every time when you fight?" Weiss asked as she wanted to know more about him.
Deidara put his hands to his hips as he smiled with pride. "Yep, I created bigger explosion to blast away with my art. One day I will create a explosion that will never be forgotten. Hm!"
Weiss smiled as she slightly tilted her head. "What was that?"
"What was what?"
"You made a little sound on the end of your last sentence." Weiss continued to smile.
Deidara was confused until he realized what she meant. "Oh, that? I do that sometimes when I talk about my art. I don't really know why, I guess it's just a little tick."
Weiss smiled as she let out a little giggle. "Don't worry about that, I personally find it quite cute."
Deidara blushed a bit as he returned to his experiments. Weiss decided to give him a bit more company.
Hidan was standing in front of his door for a couple of minutes now. He could hear Sasori working on Minerva from outside and was currently debating what to do.
The talk with Ruby was actually getting to him, was he really a good for nothing if it wasn't killing? That can't be true. He had to change that, he would need to learn a bit to have at least a plan B.
Hidan opened the door, immediately spotted only Sasori's in the room and tapped him on the shoulder. The puppet master stopped his work and turned to the immortal. "What do you want?"
"Professor oobleck has given me an assignment that I don't understand. I need your help to-" before the immortal was finished Sasori interrupted him.
"I'm not doing your homework." The puppet master returned to his work but Hidan spoke again.
"I don't want you to do my homework, I want your help to understand it so I can do it myself." As the immortal spoke those words Sasori immediately stopped working. He slowly put his tools away and got up from the ground.
He turned to Hidan and crossed his arms. "Excuse me but who are you and what did you do to that idiot."
"Very fucking funny pinocchio, will you help me ore not?" Hidan said angrily.
"Fine, fine, you don't need to get offended. I will however want a little favor in exchange." Sasori said as he chuckled.
Hidan sighed as he gathered some books from his desk. "As long as I don't need to pay you it's fine."
Sasori chuckled as he knew exactly what kind of favor he wanted. "Anyway, why do you want to learn now? That's not like you."
Hidan opened the pages that he needed to learn and thought about how to answer Sasori. "I guess the idea crossed my mind to maybe open a flower shop if hunting doesn't work out."
Nagato and Konan were at a loss for words meanwhile. Yang has somehow managed to convince them and Blake to go out and by more clothes. The Akatsuki members really didn't want any since they like what they had already, but the blonde girl wouldn't hear any of it.
In the end the four students of beacon academy were walking down the streets of Vale with the desire to shop. It took many hours but it seemed like the shops were slowly closing. Yang bought a hole bunch of clothes, video games and snacks while Blake bought a little tea sett.
The girl were walking down the street while Nagato slowly following. Thanks to the right of gender equality he had the honor of carrying everything by himself, lucky him. It wasn't like they just put there stuff into his arms, he offered it but didn't expect that they would by so many things.
Konan looked behind her to Nagato who struggled to keep up and with them. "Maybe we should slow down a bit ore help him carrying some stuff."
"No, no, no. We have you a bit farther away from him and now have some questions." Yang said with a little grin.
Konan looked confused between the two of them while Blake sighed. "Don't looked at me, yang wanted to talk to you in privacy and simply made me come with her."
The paper angle turned to yang even more confused. "You do realize that you could've just asked me to talk to you in private."
"Yeah I know, but this way is more convenient since I need some new clothes. Anyway what is going on with you and Nagato?" Yang asked with joy.
Konan shrugged. "We are friends since childhood, nothing special."
"She wanted to know if you are romantically connect with him." Blake bluntly said.
Konan immediately turned bright red and tried to lower her voice, fearing that Nagato might here them. "N-no we are not."
Yang's grin widened. "Really? That didn't look like in class today."
"You don't understand. We- I mean I, he doesn't ore can't-" Konan rambled not really sure what to say.
"Sounds to me like you both want each other." Blake said with a smirk. It wasn't like her, but she enjoyed how flustered the mature and clam Konan could get.
Konan sighed sadly. "Whatever you may think might happen between us, it will never happen."
"Oh? And why is that?" Yang persisted on knowing.
The paper angle decided to tell them why. "When we were little we were orphans, we were alone and hade to fend for ourselves. Nagato, myself and...Yahiko. We became best friends and survived the harsh environment we lived in. As we became older Yahiko and I started to like each other more than friend."
Yang sighed in frustration. "Come one, I get that you three had became best friends so what? It clearly didn't work out with you and that Yahiko guy, but I'm sure if he values his friendship with Nagato than he would let you to get together. If he stops you two from getting together than I will punch some sense into him."
"He's dead Yang."
The blonde girl immediately froze and paled. "Dear god I'm so sorry, what happened?"
Konan decided to tell the end of there story, but changing a bit in order to hide the fact that they come from another world. "Bandits attacked us and held me hostage. They demanded that Nagato should kill Yahiko, otherwise they would kill me. Nagato held a knife in his hand and didn't know what to do. Before he could even understand what was happening Yahiko has jumped into Nagato's knife and killed him self."
The two girls became silent as they continued walking. "I hope you understand now that there is just something in between us that won't go away. It would always feel like we are betraying Yahiko no matter how you turn it."
"I'm so sorry for your loss." Blage said as it appeared that her bow slightly folded.
The silence continued and Konan noticed that she had ruined the mood with her story. She should've just made some story up like she's already engaged to someone els ore something. She searched for something to lighten the mood and found a shop for clothing that was still open. "How about we go one last store before we call it a day?"
The two of them nodded and entered the store. After a while Nagato also managed to to enter the store with all of the already purchased goods.
It was a fairly small shop with very unique looking clothes. They were manly modernized traditional clothing. Blake and Yang couldn't really find anything but Konan found something she liked and decided to try it on.
Nagato, Yang and Blake sat on a couch and waited for Konan to buy on her clothes. Nagato looked over his shoulder to the old man who owned the shop. He could have sworn that he had seen that old man in another shop, but that was impossible right?
After a while Konan existed the clothing both with her new style. It was a blue kimono with red Stiches and white patterns on it at first glance, but It appeared to have some parts altered. Her left leg was completely free from the kimono while her right leg was completely covered, I a way it looked like she wore some kind of miniskirt. Like the bottom half the upper part of the kimono seemed to also miss some parts. Her right arm and shoulder was completely free while the left arm had a unnatural wide sleeve. If it wasn't for the black cloth around her chest you could've easily seen her entire right breast.
"Isn't that a bit much?" Yang asked a bit unsure.
Konan simply smiled. "No, I think I'll take it." She went back into the changing booth. Blake looked over to Nagato who was still starting at the place were Konan just was. She proceeded to slowly wave her hand in front of the Rinegan user only go get no response. "Yeah, they'll definitely get together."
Ruby was wandering the halls of the school in thought, Hidan's words just didn't leave her alone. What did he mean? He couldn't have killed people right? Sure he was aggressive some times but not a murder. She needed the answer and if Hidan wouldn't talk to her than someone els.
She enter the library in hopes to find anyone of the Akatsuki and she was lucky. Kakuzu was sitting there with a hole bunch of books and simply red one of them.
Ruby simply walked up to him and sat across of him. "Hello Kakuzu." She said with joy.
The bounty hunters slowly raised his head and nodded before before returning to his book. Ruby tried to think of something to start a little small talk before asking a personal question about Hidan.
She looked at the title of the book Kakuzu was reading and tried to start a bit of small talk. "A book about old legends?"
Kakuzu didn't stop reading while answering her. "Yes, but up until now the only interesting legend was about the four maids."
"Oh? Why do you like it?" Ruby asked in hopes to have a little discussion and get his attention.
"It's a nice story." Kakuzu simply stated and flipped a page.
Ok, this wasn't going anywhere so Ruby decided to just ask him. "I have a problem with Hidan and wanted your help."
"Give me fifty Lien and I will rip his dick of." Kakuzu stated as he thought that the immortal had done something inappropriate again and Ruby wanted revenge now.
"No, nothing like that. It's something personal about him. He said that was a killer before he even knew what a Grimm was. What did he mean by that?" Ruby clarified.
Kakuzu closed the book and sighed. He couldn't really tell her that they were from another world so he had to make stuff up. "If you look at those two behind me what do you see?"
Ruby looked passed Kakuzu and spotted Itachi and Kisame sitting at a table across from each other and played a card game.
"Now I scarifies my two monster and summon dark magician onto the field. Now I attack you directly." Kisame said with a grim as he had the feeling that he'd win the game.
Itachi only chuckled as he flipped a faced down trap card. "You activated my trap card and now you monster is destroyed."
Ruby looked back at Kakuzu. "Just two friends enjoying some free time. Why?"
"What if i told you that one was forced to kill his family members and neighbors while the other one was send on mission with the objective to kill his teammates." Kakuzu simply spoke.
Ruby just looked at him with shock. "That can't be true."
Kakuzu shook his head. "You see, we come from villages that have a long history of betrayal and war. Everyone of us had to live through extreme hardships, some of us more than others but in the end we all have mental scares from what we had to do and from what we saw as our only way out."
Ruby looked down and played a bit with her fingers. "W-what did Hidan go through? I mean he surly dose have other skills than killing. I just want to help him."
Kakuzu stood up and and started to walk away. "If you want to help him than follow me and tell him exactly that."
Ruby obeyed and followed.
The sun was already down and nighttime has already set in. Ruby would probably go straight to bed after she was done with this. Kakuzu didn't even knock to signal that someone was coming in, he just used his keycard and entered with Ruby.
Hidan was standing in the middle of the room looking at nothing while Sasori sat on his bed with a note book and pen in his hand.
"Idiot, Ruby wants to tell you something." The bounty hunter said as he slightly pushed Ruby towards Hidan.
Ruby was nervous and tried not to look him into the eyes. "Hidan, I know you have been through a lot. While I don't exactly know what you have been through exactly, I just want to let you know that whatever you need I will gladly try to help you."
Sasori cleared his through to get Ruby's attention. "He won't be answering you know. He agreed on being my test subject for some of my new poisons and until now he hasn't responded."
The scythe wielder was a bit scared for Hidan now. "Are you sure that is save?"
The puppet master just shrugged. "He's immortal, it will be fine."
Hidan started have a nose bleed. "I have a wicked boner right now." After he said that he simply tipped over.
"Ninety precent sure." Sasori corrected himself.
Kakuzu crossed his arms as he watched his immortal partner lying there completely motionless. "Why exactly did he let you do this?"
"Don't know. He simply wanted me to tutor him so he'd be good enough to open a flower shop ore something." Sasori said as he noted down how long it took for Hidan to react.
Kakuzu noticed that Ruby slightly smiled and had a little blush on her cheeks. "Are you somehow involved in this flower shop business?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about." She happily said as she skipped out of the room.
