HEY! Sorry it took so long to post this

I wrote this in my LawLu story Hidden Secret's to One's Past:

For those who are reading my KAKUHIDA: FREE story, I am sorry for not posting. The written part is not up to date, so I have nothing to go on for reference, I have the rest of the story planned, so I just need to get myself out of this little writer's block for this one part. I'll get the next chapter posted as soon as I can :D

So I decided to write this weekend and type this up

ENJOY! Sorry for the length. This and the next chapter (That had not been typed up yet) was supposed to be one chapter, but I thought it would be cool to end it right where I ended it (So I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I could type it up :3)

I hope you like it :D

Chapter 45: The Twelve Guardian Gang Part 1

Kakuzu woke up in the morning and saw Hidan was still asleep. Kakuzu smiled and pulled him closer wondering what Jashin had told him. What did he say? What were the terms of being that god's follower? Even if there were no current answers for those questions of his, for some reason when Hidan became a follower it put Kakuzu at ease. After all it couldn't be all bad if Hidan decided chose that. The boy was the most beautiful, sweetest, kindest, most open person he ever met.

Kakuzu saw Hidan stir and open his eyes. Hidan turned around to see Kakuzu and smiled

"Morning Kuzu"

"Morning" Kakuzu said and Hidan laughed

"I just realized. I was right when I said Pein's shadow having a grin" Hidan said and Kakuzu chuckled

"Right.

"And you didn't believe me" Hidan pouted out

"You know that's hard to believe when you said it last" Kakuzu said

"And panda reindeer aliens are going to attack earth with giant fuzzy puff balls with sequin googly eyes, isn't?" Hidan asked and Kakuzu laughed

"Touché" Kakuzu said and Hidan snuggled closer to Kakuzu and sighed

"Do you want to get up, or do you want to stay in bed?" Hidan asked and Kakuzu smirked

"Seems like you want the last one" Kakuzu said pulling Hidan closer and Hidan smiled

"I love you" Hidan said and Kakuzu put his head on Hidan's and sighed in content

"Love you too" Kakuzu said rubbing Hidan's upper arm gently

"After breakfast, do you want to walk down town? We haven't been there much since shopping for Tobi's birthday" Hidan said and Kakuzu nodded

"Sounds fun" Kakuzu said and smirked, "But you do realize we would have to get up to do that"

Hidan groaned and buried his head in Kakuzu's chest and mumbled, "10 more minutes?"

Kakuzu couldn't help but comply with the boy in his arms and pulled him closer and placed a gently kiss on top of his head. Once Hidan and Kakuzu got up, they walked into the living room where Pein, Konan, Sasori and Deidara were at

"Hey guys, uh. We were wondering when you two would wake up" Deidara said and Hidan smirked

"We love making you wait" Hidan said

"Wait for what?" Pein asked confused

"Exactly" Hidan said and Pein rolled his eyes and Konan hit him on the arm, "What was that for?" Pein asked looking to where Konan was pointing at

"Oh! Right… we forgot to give these to you last night" Pein said handing them the same robe/cloak that the rest wear

"You're not one of us unless you have this" Pein said as Hidan and Kakuzu took theirs. Hidan and Kakuzu put them on and were shocked

"They actually fit?" Hidan asked and Kakuzu glared at Pein

"If I find out that you measured Hidan's size when we were asleep, I swear to god that—" Kakuzu started and Pein spit the water he was drinking out of his mouth

"The fuck? Really? Hell no! It's just that the cloaks are one size fits all" Pein said blushing

Kakuzu raised a brow, "Does that include a fat chubby person?"

Pein glared, "Fuck you"

"You should be saying that to Konan!" Hidan said getting hit in the eye with a pillow from Konan and started laughing

"You do realize we are going to be teased right un?" Deidara asked and Hidan and Sasori nodded

"Even after the shitty stuff you made us go through" Hidan and Sasori said referring to the handcuff incident

"… Shit" Pein said and Konan shook her head

"And of course thanks to Pein's shenanigans are going to be the death of me" Konan said and smiled when Pein pouted, "I love you though"

"Well you guys, we want to hang out with you, but we made plans to go out in town, so we'll see you later" Kakuzu said gently leading Hidan to the door.

"Do you want to borrow the car?" Konan asked

"Nah. We'll walk, it's not that far anyways" Kakuzu said

"Have fun!"

"We will" Hidan said leaving with Kakuzu. They walked slowly and talked about some random stuff like what they would do that lead to thinking of something with Pein that lead to him being 'gay' and so on making the two laugh.

The two ended near the busiest part of down town, the part of the town where Hidan felt like he was being watched. Hidan moved his eyes to the right, where he caught a glimpse of a man within an alley way and looked forward

'Huh. So he decided to stalk me' Hidan thought

"What's wrong?" Kakuzu asked and Hidan smirked

"Nothing at all. Want to go shopping?" Hidan asked and laughed when Kakuzu looked like he didn't want to and didn't want to say it, "Window shopping, Kuzu, window shopping"

Kakuzu smiled, "Sounds Perfect"

"But we have to eat something too sometime" Hidan said and Kakuzu nodded and he smirked, "Spending money to do so"

Kakuzu rolled his eyes, "… I know that"

Hidan laughed again and saw the shadow in the distance snarl at him. Hidan smirked slightly before grinning and turning to Kakuzu

"Do you think we can go see the puppies and kittens in the window of the pet store down the street?"

"Hidan" Kakuzu said sternly as the last time Hidan was begging him to buy an animal for a pet. The messes, the food, the responsibility and not to mention the constant drain of money. Hell no they will not get a pet

"Only window shopping promise. Plus after the whole losing the key to the handcuffs, Pein would murder any dog that any of us would have" Hidan said, glancing to the shadow figure unnoticeably. The shadow couldn't hear anything they said but Hidan wanted to be safe. When Kakuzu laughed, Hidan did too

"You're probably right. Fine, fine, Let's go see those furballs of pure hyperness" Kakuzu said and they walked to the pet store. Afterwards, as they were walking down the street and Kakuzu grabbed Hidan's hand

"I love you Kakuzu" Hidan said out of the blue and Kakuzu smiled

"I love you too"

Hidan glanced to the side with his eyes and saw the man glare deeply at him

'He heard that. You can hear me you bastard. Well I guess I can use that to my advantage' Hidan thought and turned to Kakuzu, "Hey Kakuzu? I'm hungry, can we get lunch now?"

"Sure, where to?" Kakuzu asked and Hidan shrugged

"Anywhere's fine" Hidan said and they decided to go to a local diner that was known for their spacious venue as well as their delicious food. They sat down and ordered food and Kakuzu looked to him

"What is it Kuzu?"

"Did you really want a puppy?" Kakuzu asked and Hidan smiled

"It would be nice to have a little furball run around and be adorable and totally ruin what's not mine, hint hint" Hidan said and Kakuzu smirked

"He would kill you"

"But it would be as funny as hell!" Hidan said and Kakuzu agreed. Then their food came. As Kakuzu looked down at his food to cut it, Hidan turned his eyes side to side looking at the whole diner. There were only 6 other people. Two kids with their mother, a person at the counter with a newspaper, a lady mending the counter and one waitress.

Hidan eyed the man with the paper and rolled his eyes, 'Seriously? That's the oldest stalking trick in the book' Hidan thought and looked to Kakuzu who looked up. Hidan calmly ate his mean along with Kakuzu as they were making small talk.

Hidan growled internally. He did not know what to do about this situation, he thought he could but this is getting to the point that his stalker would follow them all day. Hidan looked to the window and had wide eyes. At the window, there was a white puppy jumping up and down looking into the building

'Akamaru?' Hidan thought and smirked as an idea came to his mind and turned back to Kakuzu

"Hey Kakuzu? I really hate to eat and run, but I really need to go home" Hidan said

"I'll go with you"

Hidan shook his head, "As much as I would love that, there is something I need to do alone"

Kakuzu looked concerned and Hidan laughed, "Don't worry so much Kuzu"

Hidan kissed him, "I will be fine"

"Alright… see you later"

"See ya" Hidan said leaving noticing the man who was reading the newspaper left a few seconds after he did, 'hook line and sinker'

Hidan walked a block when a puppy jumped in his arms causing him to smirk and pet him, "Knew I was you Akamaru" he said and the puppy barked happily and gave Hidan a lick on his cheek

"Let's go home" he said as he brought out his phone, 'let's see if I remember his number'

Hidan typed in a phone number and the other line answered, "Kiba!"

'What? Hidan?'

"Yep"

'Man, I haven't heard from you in a long time'

"I know, hey before we go home, can you meet me at the park?"

'What?'

"I'll explain at the park" Hidan whispered and coughed, "Yeah. You're dog found me again"

"What do you mean again? Wait What!? Damn it Akamaru, was wondering where he ran off to. Meet you at the park'

Hidan walked to the park with Akamaru and saw Kiba run up to them

"Akamaru, you rascal! I thought you were done with running away for fun" Kiba said and turned to Hidan, "Woah shit!"

"Shh!" Hidan said, "Be quiet"

"You're just so tall, you grew man" Kiba said and Hidan laughed

"That's what age does to you" Hidan said softly

"Why are we whispering?" Kiba asked Hidan explained his situation with Kiba and Kiba laughed

"So can I 'live' with you?" Hidan asked quietly and Kiba nodded excitedly

"Hell ya, dude."

"Sweet" Hidan said high fiving Kiba

"Everyone will be thrilled that they'll see you again" Kiba whispered and turned to Akamaru and silently told him to go do his business and afterward, Kiba got up

"Now that Akamaru took care of his business, let's go home~!" Kiba said loudly so their stalker would hear them without them knowing he's stalking them. As they started walking to the place where they were staying. Kiba noticed the figure follow them and growled as Akamaru whined slightly

"Dude, that's so not cool" Kiba whispered. It's like there was no privacy whatsoever. How did Hidan manage getting through today? Kiba looked to Hidan who was walking calmly down the street and smirked. Hidan sure has changed from the first time he met him 2 years ago. They walked into an alleyway to get to the door of the building that Kiba was staying at

The shadow could not help but growl as he saw them go down an alleyway he knew too well.

'Fucking shit. Should've known. The Twelve Guardian Gang. That is the last fucking straw!'
