Chapter 11

"Nagato!"

Konan was still chasing after Pain after the moment they shared with Hidan. They had finally made their way to the hideout as Pain slammed the door open, receiving stares from the rest of the Akatsuki members. He ignored them and head straight to his room, with Konan tailing him desperately. She cursed under her breath. Why did Hidan have to be such an ass?

By the time Pain and Konan were at their rooms, Hidan walked into the hideout. The members stared at Hidan, then stared at the dead man he was holding. Hidan forgot he had brought Hiyoshi home but remembered once he realized what they were glaring at.

"Oh, I brought this piece of shit for you, Zetsu," Hidan carelessly threw the man towards Zetsu, who caught it eagerly.

"Thanks," Zetsu responded as he made his way to his room.

The rest of the members were still curious as to why Pain was angry. Well, he was angry early that morning also but they thought Pain would've gotten over it by now.

"What's wrong with Konan and Leader, Un?" Deidara asked curiously, shifted his gaze from the hall that Pain and Konan rushed straight through, to Hidan.

"How the fuck should I know?"

Hidan sauntered to his room, hoping for a little bit of rest before he gets assigned any missions. He could hear Pain and Konan arguing about what had just happened. Hidan thought it was idiotic since it wasn't a big deal. He was only playing around and didn't know Pain what blow up like that. Well he did, but whatever. He still thought it was funny. A good laugh to start off the day. Yet, he sort of disliked the fact he made Konan mad. It just hit him that he brought trouble to the person he cares about. He's not sure if he cares about her like that but it kind of feels like he does. Overall, how should he know? He wasn't really good with stuff and things backfired when he tried to ask the great Jashin for help. Oh how an embarrassing moment that was. 'I like this girl..' He regrets everything he said. How degrading from Jashin.

Hidan walked into his room and collapsed on his bed. What a morning. He could still hear the couple bickering. He couldn't fully understand what they were saying since it was muffled due to his bedroom walls. Other than the arguing, he could hear Zetsu munching on his human sacrifice next door. Hidan moaned, the thought of cannibalism disgusted him. He loves to kill but he wouldn't want to eat humans. He brought his pillow and bent it so it would cover both his ears.

"Disgusting ass, plant-looking ass bitch," Hidan mumbled.

Hidan noticed that Konan and Pain began to calm down. About time. The noise level lowered and it seemed they probably made up by now. It's been like that for a while so Hidan was a little used to it. But overall he was happy it was over for the morning. At least, that what he thought.

"You should know Hidan by now, Nagato! Hidan's Hidan."

"Why would he say that?! How immature."

"It was immature for you to just march away like that instead of standing your ground," Konan said as she crossed her arms. She feels like she put up a good argument. She still hoped that it would be over. Not too long ago it was a blissful morning.

"Did you not hear what that foolish child said to me?!"

"Well yea, but you should know he's always like that. Sort of, but you're his leader! You shouldn't even be making a huge deal."

Nagato grew daggers, "Are you defending him?"

Konan hesitated, " Of course not! I'm mad at what he said too but I'm not furious. Let it go, Nagato."

Nagato only sighed in response. He made his way to his bed, suffering from a mild headache. Konan only watched him, wondering what he's going to say next. Nagato got settled in his bed, sitting up as he leaned his head on the cushioned bed platform.

"Fine. I'll let it go."

Konan gave a smile of relief. Finally, Nagato decides to just let something go. He really needed him to do that more often. Konan now found the need to go to Hidan but she knew Nagato wouldn't approve. She decided to not tell Nagato where exactly she's going but just tell him she's going somewhere. After their argument, she needed to get things straight.

Konan slowly began to back away, growing nervous.

"Uhm, I'm going to go somewhere real quick..."

Nagato felt a surge of worry flow through his body. A bunch of questions started to pop up in his head, trying to come out through his mouth. Where are you going? Why are you going there? Do you have anything to do? Why don't you want to stay here with me? Are you trying to abandon me and the Akatsuki? Are you being threatened to go there? Are you going to anyone? Who are you going to? Is it... Hidan? Nagato quickly shook them out of his head. We didn't want to start things and bombard Konan with questions. She hates it when he asks all these questions but sometimes he couldn't help it. He suddenly remembered what Itachi had said to him.

"The best you could do was trust her more. If she wants to do something and if she wants to go somewhere, let her be. It's all on her if she decides to take advantage of your trust and mess things up. It's hard in the beginning, I know, but you just have to learn. Once you do, she'll feel like you finally understand and things will be better. If she takes advantage of your trust and does something that'll affect the relationship, then that's her fault. Not yours. She'd feel guilty at end, believe me. If things just plain don't work out, then it wasn't meant to be."

Nagato sighed. It hurt him to do this but he had to. For the love of Konan.

"Okay..."

Konan grew wide eyed. She wasn't expecting that response from Nagato. She was expecting something else like, 'Where are you going' or something like that. She assumed she heard Nagato wrong and turned towards Nagato.

"What did you say...?"

"I said okay."

Konan grew shocked. Did Nagato just say 'okay?' Did he just simply accept what she said and let her go? She honestly couldn't believe. She just had to be sure.

"You're not going to ask a bunch of questions?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because... I trust you..."

Konan was still stunned. She definitely wasn't expecting this at all. It's to the point she didn't know what to say.

"O-Okay..."

At that, Konan quickly walked out. She felt like she was in a completely different universe. Something wasn't right.

Nagato just sat on his bed, watching Konan walk out of their room. He took a huge gulp. His throat was very dry. It was so hard to just let her go like that. He wanted to know where she was going but he wanted her to know that he trust her. Or does he?

Nagato resumed to staring at the door. Oh how he wished Konan was here right now.

Hidan laid on his bed lazily, not knowing what to do considering the fact he hasn't been assigned a mission yet. He just wanted to get the stupid bounty mission already so he can leave the hideout and get it done. Hidan had no idea what to do and he was feeling quite bored. He suddenly began to think about what happened this morning. He chuckled. He still found it funny how he made his leader mad. He will always laugh at that even after a year.

Hidan's thoughts were interrupted by a bang on his door. He grunted while slowly trying to get up, wondering who could be at the door at the moment. Once he opened the door all he could feel was a slap to the face. He brought his hands to his now reddened cheek and looked at the furious Konan.

"What the fuck was that for?"

"You know what that was for!"

"No, I don't."

Konan walked in uninvited and turned to face Hidan, crossing her arms in frustration.

"' You know what DID have a good morning? That fork I used to feed Konan.'"

Hidan laughed at his words. Like he said, he would always laugh at that. He stopped once he noticed how serious Konan was.

"It was a joke!"

"Why would you SAY that?"

"Hell, if I know."

Konan's anger grew.

"Pain and I were having a nice and peaceful morning! We made up, walked and talked and even ki-"

"Kissed, yeah yeah yeah," Hidan said annoyingly. He hated the thought of his 'crush' and his leader kissing. Was Konan really his crush? He didn't even know. It was like him to be ignorant about these sorts of things. Hidan just stared at Konan, noticing she was staring hard back at him.

"What the fuck are you looking at?"

"Answer me. Why would you SAY that?! You know how Pain is! I always have to deal with that!"

"Really?" Hidan asked rhetorically.

"Well actually... I didn't have to deal with it recently. For some reason... when I was coming over here... he let me go."

"What do you mean?" Hidan asked confusingly.

Konan shifted on her feet, "I mean, I said I was leaving and he just said 'okay.' He didn't bombard me with questions or anything. It was sort of creepy and completely unexpected."

"Wow. That's amazing," Hidan noted sarcastically.

Konan noticed the sarcasm in Hidan's voice and frowned, "Now tell me why you would say that to Pain this morning."

Hidan dramatically sighed as he walked past Konan, "I was a little devastated and I needed a good laugh."

"Devastated? Why?"

"Because I didn't get a good kill."

"A good kill? What do you mean by that?"

Hidan grew aggravated, "As in my sacrificial pawn was weak as fuck! I didn't have fun sacrificing for Jashin this morning and I was hoping I would!"

Konan cringed. She didn't understand why Hidan believed in this nonexistent Jashin person. She's never heard of him until Hidan joined the organization. She then realized that the only reason Hidan said what he said to Pain in the morning was because he was trying to please himself without thinking how that would ruin her morning. How selfish.

"Why do you believe in that stupid nonexistent man anyway? The whole idea of Jashin is DUMB. You're sacrificial stuff is even dumber."

Hidan grew offended. No one talks about Jashin like that.

"Are you a retard? Jashin is fucking god! I've looked up to Jashin all my motherfucking life. You better take back what you said about Jashin!"

"Why would I? Because I meant what I said. The only reason why we're having this argument is because of 'Jashin.' You just wanted to sacrifice someone and you didn't get a good kill. So you made my morning miserable because you didn't have a good one."

"So basically this whole shit revolves around you. YOU didn't have a fucking good morning. YOU have to deal with Pain. YOU this and YOU fucking that."

Konan stood her ground, "I never said everything revolves around me. Get your facts straight first of all before assuming stuff. Jashin, if he even exist, is the worst god one can possibly look up to. Have you HEARD your cursing? It's insane! You act like you don't know how to speak properly in a respectful tone."

"What's that supposed to fucking mean?"

"It's supposed to mean exactly what I said. There's no other meaning whatsoever."

"So you're saying following Jashin is the worst thing I could do? You think he's nonexistent and dumb and a bad role model?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying."

Hidan had enough. He was pissed.

"Well you know what I fucking think?"

"What?! What do you think Hidan?!" Konan suddenly grew cocky, taking further steps towards Hidan so they were closer. She looked up at Hidan, waiting for a response she believed wouldn't affect her at any way because she believed she was right. This didn't intimidate Hidan at all. He was ready to say what he was thinking.

"I think following Yahiko's dream is fucking stupid!"

Konan froze.

"You're over here trying to do the impossible when you know its a waste of fucking time! When will you thick ass skull realize that there will be no peace! People will fucking fight, fucking hate each other, fucking kill and all that other disastrous shit! You're over here calling me ignorant when you're the one that's ignorant. You spend most of your life trying to follow whatever that guy wanted to happen. Guess what Konan? It will NEVER. FUCKING. HAPPEN. That's why Yahiko's ass died! He should've known from the start he wouldn't succeed. I bet everyone looks down at him. I know Jashin does. He was just a naive, dim-witted ass person who couldn't realize what life really is. He deserved to die hell he wouldn't survive in this world."

"..."

Hidan noticed Konan's silence. She looked immensely hurt and offended at what Hidan had just say. Looking back, he realized what he said was too much. He noticed tears started to form in Konan's eyes and immediately grew pity for hurting Konan like that.

"Konan I-"

Before Hidan could finish his sentence, Konan took off. The last thing he saw was her face covered in endless tears.
