AN Zeelee-Vallen: Okay guys, I am terrified. Where I live is practically on fire. Did any of you hear of the Fort Macmurry fire in Alberta? Welp, I live an hour from Fortmac. Most of the evacuees ended up coming here, before setting off to other parts of Alberta. Not only that, but a ton of other places keep catching on fire! Last time I watched the news (like a week ago) there was 40 fires in Alberta.

If I die, I request that you all remember me for never finishing my stories.

No, I likely won't die. But still. I love you guys a lot QoQ

Also: We are almost to 200 reviews! Just 10 more!

I do not own Naruto.

XxXxxxxXXxxx

From her light slumber, she could hear bickering.

"But I fucking missed you Zuzu!"

"That does not mean I'm going to have sex with you, Hidan. It's been a thousand years for god's sake, and I have a migraine worth half of that."

"But Zuzuuuuuu~"

"No."

"Zuuuu-" She shifted, wishing to go back to sleep. Her warm bed moved, wrapping around her tighter. It must be one of the dragons, she concluded. Last time she awoke, Hidan's dragon was the one wrapped around her. She tried to push it away, wanting sleep. Instead of scales, she felt hard skin. She felt around a bit more, feeling strong muscle beneath her fingers.

…Oh no.

Slowly, hoping it was not true, she opened her eyes.

Using the most unlady like word she knew, she cursed. Internally of course, but it was still a curse.

It was a strange man, likely the Zuzu Hidan was speaking too. He had green eyes that matched the massive dragon that unearthed not long ago. They glowed in the moonlight much like a cats. His lips pulled into a small sneer, making her look to his dark toned lips. His flesh was dark, rich like the earth. And his hair was dark as she sky. Stitches zigzagged across his skin like cracks in the earth. He looked like a desert person, she seen one once.

"Ah, it looks as if the mother had awaken." She was thrust into Hidan's awaiting arms, he looked all too eager to hold her. His arms wrapped around her, holding her tightly. As soon as she left Zuzu's arms, she let out a gasp of pain. It was as if her leg was burning. She looked down to see her whole thigh bound in bandages, red blossomed on the surface like flowers.

"Ah, Zuzu, can't you fucking heal my bitch any more than this?" Hidan's white eyebrows pulled together, his purple eyes full of worry. Zuzu watched them both before giving a light sigh. Such emotion between the two, to bad she was busy withering in pain to really watch. Using all her strength she tried to suppress her pain, but it felt worst and worst each step away Zuzu took. Finally he settled across the fire, but her leg protested. She tried to listen to them, but her pain kept her half distracted.

"Hidan, like I said, we have been asleep for a very long time. I do not have the energy to heal her. And no, I do not want to do an energy swap." The man stoked the fire, her little dragon popping its head up from the sitting log. If she wasn't in so much pain, she would have smiled at it. She forced what she could, but her whole lower part throbbed. It was as if it was trying to consuming her.

Perhaps she needed to stretch her muscles. Hidan was holding her very firmly, not allowing any movement from her. She patted his chest, drawing his attention. His purple eyes were full of excitement, and a bit of endearment. She blushed hard, quickly looking down.

"Can… Can you let me down?" She whispered, peeking up at him from under her eyelashes. Hidan eyed her, as if she was joking. She blinked, confused. Yes, her leg was bad, but-

"You can't fucking walk for the next year, bitch." Her mouth fell open, horror filling her. It was enough that the pain had dulled a notch. But only one. But, she was too mortified to care. Cant… Walk? There was no way! She had to walk. Otherwise she was useless! Why couldn't she walk? Hidan must have noticed her distress. "That fucking dragon? Yeah, it severed your fucking muscle, bitch. If it wasn't for my fucking Zuzu here, and his damned dragon, you would have lost use of it completely!" Hidan grinned, even though this was not a smiling matter. "Even if you had the best fucking doctor-pricks in the world, recovery time might only be a possibility." Hidan sat down, gently placing her on his lap. She was still cradled in his arms. He looked content with the situation, although she was anything but.

She was completely distressed, and withering in pain. It was almost too much, but she fought to keep her calm facade. At least, what she assumed looked calm. She more than likely looked like a freighted, wounded doe.

"Yes, you see I specialize in limb restoral." Zuzu answered from his spot on the other side of the fire. She tried her best to draw her attention to him, but her vision had begun to blur with sweat. She was coated. It was a mix of pain and fear. "You're lucky it was me who you awoke." Ah. Awoke. Just like Hidan.

She tried to smile at the man, to show her thanks, but her lips only partially responded. "Ah… Thank you..." she tried to mumble, but her voice wavered. From across the fire, Zuzu nodded. He looked slightly skeptical.

A whole year. She could not get over it.

What would she do for a whole year? Would she have to live with this pain the whole time?

"I'll fucking carry, my bitch." It was Hidan who spoke. He looked half crazed in the fires light, it was a strange type of beauty that reassured her slightly. Still, she felt pretty horrified.

Carried. She would have to be carried.

By a man, no less.

"Is there no way for me to walk..?" She whispered, trying to be loud enough to Zuzu to hear.

"No, not unless you wish to injure yourself further." Was Zuzu's reply.

"But Zuzu, are you sure-" His eyes snapped to her, making her flinch. His green orbs seemed to grow even more brightly.

"Kakazu. My name is Kakazu." His voice was a vicious rumble, it terrified her. So much, she almost forgot about the pain in her leg. Almost.

"Ah- I… I am sorry…!" She wiggled a big deeper into Hidan's protective embrace. Hidan chuckled, placing his chin ontop her head.

This seemed a lot like a lover's embrace. She blushed lightly, turning her gaze awkwardly to the trees. A silence engulfed them, leaving the atmosphere tense. They were in the sickly forest again; it was the place she awoke Hidan. She wondered if Kakazu also woke from a tree? She was too scared to ask.

Kazumi hopped onto her lap, very carefully avoiding her hurt leg too, then nuzzled into her stomach.

If it wasn't for Kakazu brooding and her half torn leg, she would say she was peaceful. No, not at all. That was a lie. She felt sick to her stomach, and woozy.

Kazumi stepped wrong, the skin pulling. She whimpered, just as quick as she made the noise Hidan had pushed her dragon off them.

"Fucking Zuzu, you should be holding this bitch. Your capable of numbing her shitty pain after all, and you fucking have an increased healing effect!" Hidan stood, once again careful not to jar her.

Did she not have a say in this?

Just as she was about to protest, Kakazu welcomed her with open arms. She blinked, confused. Was he not just brooding? Why did he look nicer now? She was gently placing in his arms. Instantly the pain was gone, it was like majic. It likely was majic. She tried to shift, but he held her tighter. It was a warning for her not to move. Hidan sat beside them, throwing his arm around Kakazu's shoulders. Kakazu's expression seemed to grow a little less rigged. He almost looked content. Did Hidan's arm have to do with it? She didn't want to ask. She was still scared of the man.

"Sorry…" His voice was so low it could have been passed as a rumble of the night. "I am just not use to sharing Hidan anymore, I got jealous." She blinked. Sharing? Oh! Her face flushed hard as she recalled the faint conversation before she awoke. And the embrace just now. It all made sense!

Hidan and Kakazu were lovers.

"I-I-I" She stuttered out, unsure of what to say. Man on man was not taboo, but highly rare. It was often looked down upon, but no one outright objected. Not only that, but she never met a gay couple before. No wonder he was jealous! She was starting to wonder if Hidan was interested in her, but now she could see she was wrong. Thank goodness that was all resolved.

"But, if it's you, my dragon Mother, I will not object to sharing. I also feel a strong connection with you."

Or not.
