Chapter 12

Hidan look at the unconscious ninja in his arms wondering what he must have been thinking to use this technique. He had picked her up and carried her all the way back to the base without saying anything to the other members. They simply stared at him as he turned his back and left with her. After a minute they all looked at each other and followed Hidan down the mountain to the base.

'What the hell am I going to do now? It's not like I can take it back now…..How am I going to explain this?' Hidan was pacing his room deep in thought about what would happen to him next. He paused for a second to look at Suzume laying on his bed, still knocked out from all of her chakra being absorbed in such a short time. Hidan scowled and started to pace again. A knock woke him from his deep thoughts. Kakuzu opened the door without waiting for a reply. "Pain wants to take to you."

"Yeah I figured that." Hidan was still glancing all over the room. He would look to Suzume then to the walls then to Kakuzu then to the floor then again back to Suzume. With a deep sigh he moved passed Kakuzu and headed toward Pain's office with Kakuzu behind him. As he opened the door he saw the rest of the Akatsuki members gathered around Pain.

"So I guess you all want to know what's going on…."

"Yes what did you do to her." Pain responded in a flat tone. Hidan could tell that everyone was on the edge of their seats to hear what he had done to spot Suzume. WIth a deep breath Hidan began.

"It's a technique my old clan used to use. Since we were Jashinists it made finding a mate somewhat of a hard thing, everyone thought we were just going to kill them. But our religion requires us to at least have one child per family to raise in the way of Jasin. So, we created these necklaces. They work by choosing an individual that you want to be with whether that meant for life or if you just wanted to pass on your genes with a strong bloodline. It works by sapping up all of the targets chakra causing them to become unconscious, this way they could be taken back to either our village or clan residence, then as the target slowly restores their own chakra they are secretly infused with the kidnappers chakra as well. This causes the target to slowly fall in love with their kidnapper."

"So what's going to happen to the girl." Pain's tone did not changed. Some of the other members were looking at their partners or at Hidan in a new light.

"Every member only gets one. And the way of Jashin states that I have to be with her and produce at least one child that will grow up to be another follower."

"And there's no way to break this?"

"Not really. The only way I can undo this is to either have a child with her or I get killed."

"Well we can't have a child in the base, let alone that the girl is little more than a child herself. And the last time I checked you were immortal." Pain was now starting to get annoyed that Hidan had acted in such a stupid way that.

"Well I don't know what to tell you. Those are the stipulations." Hidan was now starting to get louder as he spoke and also developed a more annoyed and sarcastic tone.

"Well what happens if we kill her?"

"Right now she's basically as immortal as I am." Hidan was getting more and more frustrated with this conversation. He had explained his religion enough times to everyone in the base for them to have this basic understanding of it, but of course no one would ever listen to him.

"You really had to go and do it this time didn't you Hidan." Kakuzu spoke up.

"And what the hell is that supposed to mean!"

"You always have to act without thinking! Look at the mess you caused, shes gonna be another mouth to take care of and is probably not going to join easily if even at all!"

"You should be thanking me! You were getting your ass handed to you and I saved you! So what if she puts up a fight, I'll make sure that she joins us and that will be the end of it!" Hidan was so full of rage he didn't know what to do. Everyone should be thanking him not patronizing him!

"Then we'll hold you to that." Pain looked from Hidan to Kakuzu. "She will be joining your team as soon as she is under control. Hidan how long should that take?"

"It depends. It seemed like she had pretty deep connections to her village. It could be hard for my chakra to break her down all the way, we're at least looking at a couple of months."

"Well if it's gonna take that long anyway why don't you just knock her up and get your one child and it'll be over and done with that much sooner." Deidara moved from the back of the group to the front to see Hidan move clearly.

"I may be a lot of things Deidara. I might be a fucking over religious prick, I might be a loud mouthed bastard, and hell, I might even be a god-damned murderous fucking psychopath. But I am not a fucking pedophile rapist!" Hidan slowly raised his voice from a calm tone to screaming at the top of his lunges as he stated this. This was the last straw for him. Without saying another word he stormed out of the room, slammed the door behind him enough to break the hinges, and stalked back to his room.

When he go back he found Suzume in the same position he had left her. Her chest gently riding with each breath she took. Hidan let out a deep sigh. He had never planned to use that stupid necklace when he was still with his clan. He had never seen himself with children and even some of the people in his clan thought he was too much of a psychopath to have a wife. He sighed again and started his pacing back up, wondering what his next move should be. With the amount of chakra that was absorbed it was going to take a while for his chakra to even start to take effect and even then he didn't know if he had infused enough of his chakra into the necklace for it to even work.

He would have to think of a way to break her down so that his chances were better. He paced for over an hour before an idea finally came to him. He would take away the most important thing he could think of from her. With the idea still fresh in his mind he went off to go find Sasori.
