Chapter 14

"Of course the stupid elevator wouldn't work.." I panted loudly as I climbed up the stairs, Crow stood on my shoulder, looking all around us as if searching for danger. He had his eyes squinted as if he couldn't see that well, but he still seemed to be a good look out.

"I swear, stairs are a huge enemy to my health.." I couldn't stop the loud pants that emanated from my open mouth; it was true that I wasn't very skinny but not considered fat. But since I wasn't as skinny as a twig, I had a hard time climbing up the stairs without stopping to rest or leaning most of my weight on the railing.

"Gotta rest a minute.." The backpack was placed on the ground of the landing as I slid to sit on my butt, Crow gave a small nod before sitting comfortably on my shoulder once more. "Sorry, not use to being so active. I usually stay home." I smiled up at Crow who gave a small one back my way. Crow was truthfully, very cute. Especially when he seemed so smile, his black eyes would crinkle up in the weirdest way and his tail would nonchalantly curl around his feet.

But the peaceful moment of gentle stares was broken as a loud shrill came crashing from inside the bag, it shook violently as if it contained some fierce tiger.

Crow and I both exchanged glances, timidly I slid the zipper open of the pack and everything happened in slow motion; it was as if we were in some movie and someone purposely had slowed it down just to torture those in it.

Ice jumped out of the bag in a mad rage, his eyes flashing as if a fire had been lit in them; his clothes were out stretched a few specks of blood falling from them from whoever had unluckily gotten in his way of getting free. And as unfortunate for those who had gotten scratched, I was unfortunately leaning towards the bag as Ice came flying towards me in a mad wild pounce that would have made a frog proud.

His right claw swung up onto my left arm in his blind rage, a pierce of burning fire coursed through my arm as if it had been touched by the devil himself; something warm and wet ran down it as his other paw swung up and over my other arm and up onto my chin and down my neck. The pain that crashed down and through my neck burned like hell, the burn worsening as Ice's eyes widened in unbelief.

There was a loud sound in my ears, a cat screech and crying; water filled my eyes streaking down my face as I was suddenly falling backwards, Ice probably landing on the ground but I..I was falling and falling. Something hit and crashed into my face and body.

The warm liquid spilled over my other arm and it flowed from my neck, my shirt suddenly stuck to my clothing; I couldn't breathe as black spots came into my vision. I heard loud screeches, there were more screeches and suddenly all was quiet and I no longer could see.

The overwhelming blackness of the dark of my closed eyelids washed over me, drowning me in the silence of remorse and madness.

Hidan had been trying for an hour to be patient with the idiots around him, he had tried but had continued to curse all the Akatsuki members names. He was still trying for May's sake, she hadn't wanted him to angry which her eyes had told him when she had told him off for hurting Tobi.

"Senpai..it's stuffy in here.." Tobi whined, he had been whining ever since he had gotten in the bag and hadn't shut up either.

"Tobi, I know, un!" Deidara said tiredly, his eyes shut to drown out everything around him.

Sasori kept quiet next to them trying not to say anything to shut the two up.

"Senpai….Tobi can't, it is to stuffy. Tobi can't breath, Tobi can't move!" Tobi started yelling, his wild pants growing in momentum. "Tobi can't stay in here another second!" He declared before trying to push past some of the cats. Tobi was obviously having a panic attack, Deidara began to think that the twit was claustrophobic.

"Shut the fuck up, Tobi. No one fucking cares." Hidan said, his body tensing as Tobi moved closer to him.
Tobi didn't seem to hear Hidan's words or he just didn't care, he placed his paws on Hidan's back and tryed to jump from his back up to the top of the bag. And just like the time Deidara had almost had his back broken because of Tobi, Hidan screeched at the feeling and he snapped.

"You Damn ASSHOLE, get OFF MY FUCKING BACK BEFORE I STRANGLE THE LIFE OUT OF YOUR PATHETIC CARCASS THAT YOU CALL A FUCKING BODY!" Hidan screeched turning around and raking his claws down Tobi's side who yelled bloody murder at the action.

"Hidan, stop it un!" Deidara tried to push past Kakuzu to get to his partner who he was actually surprised he wanted to help for once in his life.

But Hidan was past reasoning, his swear words grew each time he shoved Tobi away from him, battling anyone who got in his way to the zipper. They couldn't stop him and the ones who tried couldn't reach him or were too stuck to move.

"Get the fuck out of MY WAY!" Hidan slammed up into Pain who had had his nose out of the zipper, causing Pain to jerk his head to the side; the zipper bursting open at the action.

Hidan propelled himself towards Pain but shot past him out into the open air, his eyes so blind with rage that he couldn't see anything. It was a blur of red.

No one deserved to step all over him like some piece of fleshly killed meat, no one deserved to have any control over him, not even Pain. This was his fucking life and he was going to do what he pleased.

Suddenly Itachi's cat face was nearing him, was he going to try and control him to? He was finally out of that bag, that squished up piece of crap that didn't deserve to be used ever again.

"No one is stopping me from my freedom, you fucking got that you damn pussy!" Hidan brought back his right paw, wanting to slash Itachi's face. But he was still to far away, he realized after clawing it forward into the air. But warmth burst around his claws, soaking his fur.

"Huh?" He was swinging his other paw forward as Itachi's face came closer into range but then Hidan's red from his eyes faded to show him the whole picture. May was in front of him, her eyes wide and watery as he slashed into her throat and chin with his claws. Her tears dripped down from her once ice cold eyes that were now clouded in warmth from producing those pieces of salt water that dribbled down her face as if it were raining.

The Akatsuki were still as they watched the scene unfold in front of them, their mouths gaping wide as Itachi fell from May's shoulder and as she began to fall back.

Hidan dropped to the ground in shock as he realized what he had just done.

"May!" Deidara screeched forcing himself, out of the bag; he pushed past all the others. Deidara's feet hit the ground just as May fell the rest of the way, her body smashing into the stairs from below the landing they had been standing on. Her head collided with the wall as she fell back down the steps, hitting into a wall and lay still. The rest of the stairs turning to go back down many other steps.
Hidan could only stand there as if in a trance, his paws still wet with the girls blood, it was seeping into his fur and causing them to feel incredibly heavy..or they were heavy because of the guilt that was washing over him.

"I just…..I…" The thought wouldn't even process in Hidan's mind.

Deidara, Sasori and Itachi were bounding down the last steps; Deidara reaching it first.

Deidara quietly pressed his nose to May's cheek, but there was no response. He licked over her nose trying his best to wake her.

"May, May!?" Deidara pushed his face against hers trying to shift it, anything to wake her up; her skin was losing its warmth extremely quickly, the blood that was already there was hardening, being rushed over with new fresh blood that still leaked out of her wounds.

Sasori stood there next to him finally forcing himself to go the rest of the way and check out her arm and neck wound. The neck wound wasn't very back but it was deep, not deep enough to kill; it wasn't in the right spot to do that. The arm wound, however, was quite deep and was still pumping out blood; Hidan had probably hit a vein. Her shirt and jacket were drinking up the blood as if it were a sponge.

Itachi was silent as he licked her hand, trying to rouse her as well but May didn't even seem to be breathing.

Deidara grit his teeth when she didn't move.

"Itachi, go get the nurse!" Sasori demanded angrily, Itachi was gone without a second word, his body racing down the rest of the stairs almost tripping in his fast steps.

Deidara had one eye twitch as he bit into his lip. "You horrible, disgusting piece of shit!" He screeched highly turning around in one swift movement, his blue eyes freezing over in complete anger and seething rage.

His eyes caught up in Hidan's who was still staring absentmindedly at the still body.

"Look what you did to her! This is why everyone hates your damn attitude towards everything and then you get pissy, un! This time it got someone, that didn't deserve it, hurt!" Deidara looked about ready to fling himself at Hidan, Sasori in no better state.

"You really did it this time, Hidan. I don't care how you feel about May, she has kept us safe and protected us from everything; and this is how you treat her? Disgraceful." Sasori finished with a growl, his eyes narrowing in his own form of anger.

Hidan opened and closed his mouth. "It was-"
"And look at what you did to Tobi, Hidan." Hidan cast his eyes to look at Tobi who was leaning on Pain, his left side shredded up; blood clouding up his side as he stood there without moving.

"It was an-"
"How about instead of taking your anger out, you just rely on your words to do that, huh? You do that enough already, so why can't you just take out the part where you have to kill everyone because of it,un?" Deidara stamped his foot, the fur on his back stood on end.

"It was a fucking accident!" Hidan shouted angrily, the bloody paws of his glaring up at him.

Kisame and Kakuzu looked at each other, both unsure if it had been an accident; knowing Hidan it could have been either. He seemed sorry enough.

"I'm fucking sorry!" Hidan yelled just as the two women from the desk rushed up the stairs, Itachi leading them trying not to be stepped on as the women passed him at the sight of the body.

Hidan sat down unhappily as he watched the two women pick up May's body and place it on a stretcher that one of the other nurses quickly brought; and she was rushed away to one of the rooms.

Tobi was quickly taken up by one of the nurses as well, he made no sound or movement at the touch. His one eye stayed close as his blood dripped onto the floor along with Mays that was splattered every which way from her tumble down the staircase.

They all followed, some as if in a daze, some were mostly in a daze of anger; and all of that was directed at Hidan who followed at the back of the group, his eyes cast down the entire time.

Author: This was short and escalated quite quickly but I really like it. Hope you guys do to!
