Hiya guys! I'm pretty sure that after reading the chapter's name, you have some ideas of what that property might be...well, you'll just have to wait and see. I wanna thank Cattleman for inspiring me with this idea and also giving me another one. Have fun reading like always.

"Did Hidan actually like me? No...it couldn't be true. Could it? If it was...why do I feel at peace when I think of it as true? Why do I feel...ureshii? I closed my eyes now, finally feeling...peaceful, and with the thought of Hidan liking me, I fell into a deep sleep."

✰*•˛❤˛•*✰

Hidan

"Oi, wake up." I heard a familiar voice call.

Dim sunlight had bathed in the tent. I was still sleepy, so I didn't open my eyes to the voice that called. Instead, I just rolled over to avoid the bright light and pulled my covers over myself. Hmm...why's the cover struggling? Wait...what? I opened my still half-asleep eyes. Oh. Shit. Akane had her legs entwined between mine while her torso was on top of my chest. And her face...was one millimeter away from mine. Before we could pull each other away from ourselves and cuss each other out...we both heard a Click! and looked at the opening of the tent. There stood Nami, with a camera, aimed toward us.

"Catch that bitch!" I pushed Akane off of me (who landed with a thud) and pointed towards Nami.

When my words finally registered in her brain, she ran. She ran like all Hell was after her. I sprang up and so did Akane. The two of us chased her through the "camp". Mami stared at the three of us running around in circles in amusement while Aika ignored us and continued to make breakfast. Soon Nami came up with a new tactic and ran towards the deeper part of the woods. Of course, in blind rage, we chased her. After a long while though, Nami succeeded in coming up with a plan to lose us. Now, just like the first day, we were lost once again. Akane glared at me.

"What?" I glared back.

"This is your fault..." she growled.

"My fault? Oh gee," I threw my hands in the air, "Everything just has to be my fault doesn't it?"

"Of course it's your fault. You're the one that just had to chase Nami and get us lost in this damn forest." she sighed.

I rolled my eyes at her, then began walking and trying to find my way back. When I looked around our surroundings though, I realized that I've seen them before. Were we walking in circles? Before I could yell out in rage, something maroon caught my eye. I ran up towards the tree, Akane following behind me.

"H-Hidan...is that...?" Akane stared.

I touched the bark, "Jashin's...symbol...in my blood..."

"Yo-your blood? You've been here before?" she asked.

I traced the symbol with my finger, "Yeah...this...this is..."

Akane waited for the rest of the sentence, but instead of uttering them, I ran. I ran towards another tree. There it was again. Memories of me cutting my fingers with my scythe and painting these symbols with my blood years ago flushed into my head. I ran towards another, and another, and pretty soon, it led us to this...cave. Akane ran up behind me, calling my name. I ignored her and walked into the cave. Now I was certain, this was the place I hid and stashed my scythe away. Memories filled my head. When I tried to force people to become shinobis, they called me crazy and ran. I had no use for my scythe anymore, seeing as how I didn't want to follow Jashin after that. So I stashed it away. Here. In this cave.

The cave was dark, darker than I remember. There was barely any light or anything for that matter. The only sound was Akane and I walking on the hard ground with a few pebbles. After what felt like half an hour of walking, we finally reached a place in the cave where there was a hole at the top, making sunlight bathe down. At the corner of the "room" was...a three bladed, red, sharp scythe. I grinned and ran towards it.

"My baby!" I hugged it, "I've missed you!"

Akane walked towards me, "That's your scythe?"

"Yeah. Why?" I eyed her.

She shrugged, when she opened her mouth, a loud roar echoed throughout the cave.

"That, was not me." her eyes widened.

The roar repeated itself. We both turned around in a full 360, looking for where the roar could've came from. Pretty soon, the thing came out. At first, it was dark, just laying in the shadows. Then when it stepped out into the sunlight, it showed the thing with small black eyes and...razor sharp teeth. It stood up and raised its two paws, showing it had sharp claws also. The brown fur of the bear looked even darker in the cave. I looked back at Akane only to see she had widened eyes.

"Run!" she whispered.

"No way!" I yelled.

"What? Are you insane?" she gaped.

"Either way, that thing could never kill me." I smirked.

"Okay, one, I'm not immortal like you. Two, that thing could rip you to shreds. Three, I'm no Kakuzu, so have fun goin' back as a talking HEAD!" she shouted the last part.

I pointed my scythe at the thing, "Tch, I could take that bitch on."

The thing roared again, as if it knew I had just insulted it. It got down on its all fours and charged at us. I smirked, bringing my scythe behind me. When it was just a few feet away from me, I swung at it. Big mistake. Now, here's a mini science lesson kids. Whenever you don't use metal for a long time, and leave it in a misty place, it rusts. Now rust is the color red, which is why Mars, the Red Planet, is red, and also the reason why Akane and I had failed to notice that my scythe had rusted until the few to the last seconds when it fell apart onto the ground. Akane let out a small 'Eep!' and my eyes widened to the size of the moon. The bear raised its paws up, ready to rip me into shreds. I ducked at the last second, leaving the bear to collide with the wall of the cave.

"Let's get out of here!" Akane yelled.

I nodded and ran to gather my scythe. Or what was left of it. When I managed to get every single part of it, Akane and I ran like the wind. The bear had tried to follow us.

"Oh yeah, everything's totally not your fault." Akane glared icily at me.

"Psh, at least I make life fun." I countered.

"More like living Hell." she rolled her eyes.

Instead of arguing with her, my eyes scanned the area, looking for a place to hide. Luckily it found a spot fast.

"In here!" I called to Akane.

When we made sure the bear wasn't following us, we jumped into the trunk of a tree. The tree was quite big while one side of it was missing the bark and slight part of the trunk, making it like a room. The space was small, but enough to fit me and Akane in it if we hugged our legs. Since the scythe had broken into parts that could've been able to split apart, it would've been easy to attach it back together, but seeing as how we were in such a small space, I think I'd have to leave that task till another time. Stuffing the parts back in my shirt, Akane sighed.

I looked at her, "What?"

Her glare became more deadly, "This just can't get any worse, can it?"

I winced, "You shouldn't-"

Thunder roared and instantly rain poured down, "Have said that..." I finished.

She cried out in frustration, "It was a rhetorical question life, not a challenge!"

Now it was my turn to sigh, "Whatever. I'ma just try and get some sleep."

"But-"

She stopped when I closed my eyes, clearly not wanting to talk. It was a few minutes of silence and no one moving but after awhile, I heard the ruffles of clothes and soon felt heat on my skin. I opened my eyes, seeing Akane sitting next to me and using my shoulder as a pillow. I didn't push her off though, in fear that she'll never let me get any sleep after that. So I closed my eyes and let the musical thunder lull me to sleep.

✰*•˛❤˛•*✰

Thud!

I woke up with a jolt, having the feeling of just falling out of bed. I opened my eyes, only to see the greenish grey bark of the tree we've been sleeping in. Yesterday's events flooded my brain as I remembered what we were doing and where we were and why. I looked over at what was on top of me, only to see Akane squeezing the death outta me.

"Tiger..." she mumbled, eyes still closed.

Ah...now it all made sense. She mumbled something I couldn't hear and buried her face in my chest. My face felt uncomfortably hot and I didn't know what to do. So I just rubbed her head like a dog.

Akane

Hmm...? What...who was that...? My eyes were closed shut and I felt my arms being wrapped around something. But I was also feeling...someone...petting my head...like the way I love...like the way my parents used to...

"To-Tomiichi...?" I drowsily called out.

To my surprise, there was no answer. And the petting had stopped. And the hand that was rubbing my head had tensed up. I instantly froze.

"Do-don't...please...please don't hurt me...I-I did nothing wrong...please...f-forgive me, don't hurt me." I whimpered.

Now the hand went cold. Oh no. I had angered him didn't I? W-what did I do wrong now? Maybe...if I beg enough, I'll just get one slap tonight.

"Please don't hurt me...wh-what did I do wrong?"

To my pleasure, the petting resumed. I instantly calmed down. Then I felt something warm around my torso. Was...was Tomiichi...was he hugging me? Pleased with the comfort, I drifted back to sleep.

Hidan

I had started petting Akane's head again. The good thing was that she stopped shaking and fell asleep. Don't hurt her? What did she mean by that? Who would wanna hurt her? Who would hurt her? Why was she so scared? The only other time she acted like this was the night Tomiichi had stopped by her house. Thoughts had popped into my head. I shook them off, no way. It could never be possible. Could it...? I tried to pry Akane off of me so I could sit up. She didn't wake up. Damn this girl was a heavy sleeper. When her face was finally off of me, I could see it more clearly. Her cheeks were red, so were her eyes. Wait...I touched her cheeks. She stirred, but only for a moment. I rubbed my fingers together to get rid of the substance on it. Tears? Why was she crying? This girl was so difficult...

I looked outside of the trunk, by now it was daytime. Wait...just how long had we been asleep? Stepping out of the trunk, I propped Akane on my back, so I could carry her as I walked. When I was walking, I saw a familiar face.

"Oh shit." I backed up.

It growled in response, the drool dripping into a pool below its mouth. It charged forward, wanting revenge for us interrupting its sleep. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, which was very fast seeing as how I was once a shinobi, while yelling in aggravation. In just a few minutes, I saw the "camp" that the five of us made. The three of them were all outside while the backpacks were already packed. Perfect. I slowed down my pace, but still running pretty fast in human standards.

"RUN!" my call echoed.

All three of them looked up in surprise. Aika opened her mouth to say something but I cut her off.

"Don't ask, just run your God damn legs off!"

Aika was about to say something again before Mami said, "Just listen to him. I have a bad feeling if we don't!"

They strapped on their backpacks and started to run after me. They didn't bother asking any questions to my relief. In just two minutes the school bus came into view.

"We were this fucking close the whole damn time?" I screamed in rage.

The students that were on the bus looked at us in surprise. The only one that was outside was our teacher. He opened his mouth but like Aika, I cut him off.

"Don't ask, get in the damn bus NOW!"

He shut his mouth and got on along with us. I looked back at the woods, the damn bear was actually behind us the whole time! I dropped Akane on the cold hard floor and ran to the driver's seat.

"Hey wha-"

"This is for your own good! Get off before I drag you off!" I yelled at him.

He complied and I hopped onto the seat. Stepping on the pedal at full force, to say that the people on the bus were just sitting there calmly and enjoying the sights and driving would be a complete lie. Piercing screams filled the air and almost made me let go of the steering wheel just to cover my bleeding ears.

"God damn bitches. Shut the fuck up!" I screamed.

Of course no one listened. Akane ran up to me and stood by my side, holding onto the seat for dear life.

"What the fuck is going on?" she screamed.

"Ah, finally awake Sleeping Beauty?" I yelled back, since apparently if you don't yell, you wouldn't be able to hear a thing in this catastrophe.

"Fuck that! Why the fuck are you driving and what's going on?" she looked paler than usual.

"Remember the Jashin damned bear from yesterday? It's still after us and trying to kill us!" I answered.

"What? That's crazy!"

"That's a damn fact!"

We entered the highway already and I was swerving and turning so fast and sudden that everyone on the bus rolled over from one side to the other and back. This continued for a couple of minutes before arriving in front of the school, I slammed down on the brakes. As expected, my skills were as perfect as always and we stopped just in front, parking right in front and stopping to a halt. A huge smirk appeared on my face and I looked back at everyone. Some people's faces were blue while others were green, some as white as chalk.

"That, was AWESOME!" screamed a random guy.

"LET'S DO THAT AGAIN!" hollered others.

The teacher smacked his face with his palm while I cheered on with them.

Wow...Akane and Hidan fell asleep in that tree for a whole day...even I couldn't accomplish that. Well that was a crazy chapter. I would've described the ride in full detail but...I don't think I wanna make you guys sick and hurl at the screen. Anyways, thanks to glitterthorn for adding this story to her favorites! Thanks to Immortal-Puppet-Otaku for adding this to her Story Alerts! Hope this chapter was fun to read~
