Chapter 14: Emiko likes Scythes Too

Hidan woke up in the infirmary portion of the Akatsuki base. He found out that he was unable to move due Emiko sleeping on his side. He tilted his head. She was sitting on a chair and now her head was on his chest. Hmm… She fell asleep watching over me?

Just as Hidan was about to go back to sleep, Deidara happened to be walk by and noticed him awake. "So, you're awake, un?"

"Yeah, what of it?" Hidan responded grumpily. He really felt comfortable with just him and Emiko sleeping and did not want anyone disturbing their time together.

"Well, Emiko-chan over here has some feelings for you. You are such an idiot I figured you wouldn't know, so I'm giving you the heads-up, un."

Hidan was genuinely confused. "Why the fuck are you telling me this?"

"I don't want her hurt got it, un? She wanted to see you all throughout the mission. In fact, she even drew a picture. You need to ask her about it; it is a nice drawing, un."

With that, Deidara swept out of the room and Hidan resumed gazing at Emiko's sleeping form. You really missed me that much Emiko-chan?

Pain was contemplating the knowledge presented to him by Emiko before she went to check on Hidan. The Blood Princess herself in the Akatsuki… It's not every day that such an opportunity presents itself. He had the Bingo Book in front of him as well as eyewitness reports to the destruction of the Blood Village. Everything fit together like a puzzle. She mercilessly slaughtered her whole village and without the blink of an eye. However, what did not make sense was why. Blood shinobi were notorious for being excessively loyal; even more so than the Leaf Village. It did not make any sense at all for the daughter of the Leader of the village to kill everyone: she would have inherited the rule eventually and if that was what she wanted, she would have had to keep some people alive.

The spy accounts, however, were iffy. There was written in them stories of how anyone that happened to see her suddenly had blood gushing out of their eyes and died because their heart was filled with so much blood that it exploded. He did not know what to make of such accounts and as such, decided to be cautious, but the next mission would certainly test her loyalties. It was only a matter of who would go with Emiko to retrieve Orochimaru's ring.

Emiko groaned as she woke up. She now realized that the warmth she had felt while sleeping was Hidan and rose up suddenly with a blush across her face. Hidan noticed her sudden movement as well as the lack of warmth and opened his eyes. "Why did you have to get up Emiko-chan? It felt nice and cozy with you here."

Emiko's blush grew deeper and she averted her eyes. "You should have told me you were awake Hidan-kun. I would have gotten up for you."

Hidan laughed and Emiko could not help but feel more at ease. "Emiko-chan, admit it. We both were comfortable and neither of us didn't want to get up."

Emiko smiled and laughed. "I guess that is true."

Hidan suddenly remembered Deidara's words. "I heard you have a drawing of me. Can I see it?"

Emiko mumbled something under her breath about wanting to kill Deidara, but nonetheless, she unveiled her picture for Hidan. "It is not yet complete, but since you requested to see it…"

Hidan was stunned. Damn, she draws so fucking good. There's me and her…hugging… That's a battlefield…and my scythe… She actually isn't against all this? "Emiko-chan, that truly is a work of art. I thought you didn't like that battleground stuff and all that blood? I mean, I'm not complaining, just wondering."

Emiko nodded at his question. "I do not know what compelled me to do so, but when I was drawing, everything just came to me: the blood, the weaponry, the subject of the drawing…"

Hidan nodded. "I see. I missed you a lot Emiko-chan." He strokes her face and she blushes.

"Hidan-kun? Why did you bleed a lot yesterday? I did not get to spend as much time with you because you fell unconscious."

Hidan gazed at her. She doesn't know…? Oh… I guess Emiko still wouldn't get that stuff… "I don't know what came over me Emiko-chan. When I saw you, I got excited I guess and got carried away."

Emiko's eyes were confused, but nonetheless, she smiled. "Hidan-kun, I have a funny story for you!"

Hidan's eyes widened. "About what?"

"Well… On the way back…" Emiko proceeded to inform Hidan of the 'Hotel Incident' at which point when Emiko finished, Hidan was ready to kill.

"It was just an accident though, I did do have a vice grip when I sleep. I mean, this morning, I held on to you quite tightly. You could not even get up."

Hidan looked into Emiko's eyes. "I'm sorry, but when I hear about a guy touching you, even on the face, I don't know why, but I wanna smash their face in."

Emiko widened her eyes. "Hidan! Refrain from that course of action!" With that, she engulfed him in a hug. Hidan blushed at the sudden contact and yet again, a trail of blood came out of his nose.

"Please excuse me Emiko-chan." With that, Hidan ran to the sink and while cleaning his face, the words 'Oh shit…' could be heard.

"Hidan-kun… I forgot to ask Deidara-kun earlier, but what is blackmail?"
