"Hanna! Is food ready?" Jo asked as she walked into the house.

"Why do I always have to cook?" Hanna asked from her seat on the couch.

"Because I'll burn down the house and Lily is too lazy." Jo answered and moved to her chair that Hidan was occupying. "Move, big boy." He glared at her before grinning.

"Fucking make me." He told her. She smirked and turned around before sitting on his lap. She thought she won but was pleasantly surprised when he wrapped his arms around her waist. She smirked and leaned back, this was fine. Hanna rolled her eyes.

"Lily's not here, by the way." Hanna told her. "She said she wanted to run some errands before the storm hit, in case we have to evacuate."

"That's weird." Jo pointed out, her eyebrows scrunching in confusion. "When did she leave?"

"Lily left about two minutes ago, yeah." Deidara offered from the floor. "What's up, yeah?" He asked after seeing Jo thinking.

"I'm sure it's not-" Hanna started.

"I know, but still." Jo cut her off. "I'll ask when she gets back." Hanna opened her mouth to say something but Sasori cut in, stepping in from the kitchen.

"Dinner is ready." He said simply, looking around the room. Jo raised her eyebrows in surprise. Hanna smiled.

"Yeah, he and Konan made dinner tonight." Hanna explained brightly.

"Damn, alright." Jo smiled, impressed, as she made to stand. She grunted when Hidan pulled her roughly back into his lap, laughing quietly as she glared at him over her shoulder. People began filing out of the living room, ignoring the two.

"Let go." She told him and he just smirked at her.

"Or what?" He challenged as he leaned in, "You keep making jokes and I'm startin' to think you're all fucking talk." Hidan's breathe brushed over her neck and chills ran over her skin, making her shiver.

"You're one to fucking talk." She told him quietly, still looking at him over her shoulder. "You keep toeing that damn line but you won't make a move." Jo smirked as his smug smile pressed into a thin line as he stared at her. She quirked her eyebrow, amused and she opened her mouth to taunt him further when his hand wrapped around the back of her head and pulled her in, kissing her. Jo freezed as his lips met hers firmly. He didn't keep her long, but those few seconds were enough to make her brain short circuit. Hidan leaned back and smirked at her shocked face. He was going to tease her but this time she cut him off.

Jo turned, straddling his lap and grabbing his face, kissing him deeply. She'd been assuming he was just being an ass. She didn't expect him to actually be serious, but she sure as hell wasn't going to pass up the opportunity. Her hands grabbed his shirt and she felt him grab her ass. Jo bit his lip and pulled a bit before leaning back, breaking the kiss. She stared at him as they caught their breath. He was still smirking. Jo leaned in and whispered into his ear.

"Be careful what you wish for." She threatened quietly before standing and walking away, going to go get herself some food. Hidan watched with a smirk still on his face as she walked away. His smirk fell when he noticed someone was still sitting on the couch.

Hidan and Kakuzu stared at each other for an uncomfortable minute and Hidan just sat stunned. How the fuck had they not noticed him still there? Why didn't he say anything?

"Well," Kakuzu sighed as he rubbed his hands on his legs before standing, "I see you took my advice."

"Hey, what the fuck, Kakuzu?"

Konan and Sasori told them dinner was ready and they all piled into the kitchen, stealing food. Some

The three girls sat their shot glasses on the tile floor and looked at each other solemnly. The three sat in a circle with a candle in the middle. The warm, soft glow flickered and cast shadows around the bathroom.

"Are we sure we should be doing this?" Hanna asked, looking at her two friends. "I'm on call. I can't get too drunk." Lily just started pouring them another shot.

"We're waiting for a call to evacuate any minute," Lily said as she handed Hanna a glass, "and we are sharing a house with several deadly assassins'."

"I've had to hide the good liquor." Jo mumbled as she took her now filled shot glass.

"I hid it from you." Lily told her as she poured herself a shot. "You drink too much."

"You sleep too much." Jo countered.

"You two fight too much." Hanna interjected and knocked back her drink, grimacing at the taste. The three looked at each other before breaking out into a fit of giggles. They laughed and leaned against each other, absorbing the crazy reality they were living in. After a few moments the laughter died and the three sat in silence, the candle slowly burning.

"You guys should get out of town before they force an evacuation." Hanna told them as she pulled her knees close to her chest, resting her chin. "They always wait until it's too late. I don't want you guys getting stuck here."

"Hanna, we aren't just going to leave you here." Jo told her gently, resting her hand on Hanna's back, rubbing it.

"This storm's bad." Hanna whispered. "It's really, really bad. I've been tracking it and it's been nothing but destruction."

"Ok, say we leave." Lily shrugged and poured herself another shot. "And we take the Akatsuki with us." She set the bottle down and looked at Hanna. "Where does that leave you?"

"It's my job." Hanna told her.

"I think she just wants the house to herself." Jo teased, gently elbowing Hanna, making her smile. "Maybe we should leave a certain blue boy here to keep an eye on you." Hanna turned beat red and buried her face in her hands.

"Hey, he's got gills." Lily pointed out with a smirk as she leaned back on her hand. "I'm sure you can't drown him."

"Lily!" Hanna hissed and tried to silence her giggles. Lily winked and took her shot. "You two only think about sex."

"Because we're in a bit of a drought here, babe." Jo told her and Hanna rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, you guys aren't the only ones." Hanna snorted.

"It's a shame we're stuck with a bunch of hot men." Lily sighed before thinking. "Konan's hot, too but I don't get those vibes from her."

"True." Jo nodded agreeing. "I can't help but see her like a friend, maybe a sister."

"Are we really hiding in the bathroom talking about hot anime characters?" Hanna giggled. The three looked at each other before bursting out laughing. Jo, Hanna, and Lily split their sides laughing and ended up on the ground, wheezing at the situation. The three tried to catch their breath when they heard knocking on the door.

"What are you guys doing, yeah?" Dediara called through the door.

"Hot girl shit." Jo told him and her two friends giggled, trying not to laugh. "Go away." She laughed, not able to hold it in anymore. They heard the blond sigh and shuffle away and Hanna waved at her friends, shushing them and the two tried to quell their laughter.

"I keep meaning to tell you this." She whispered. "But I'm pretty sure SasoDei is cannon here."

"No!" Lily hissed, trying not to laugh and Jo snickered.

"Yes!" Hanna hissed back.

"How do you know?" Jo whispered, excited about the new romance.

"I didn't grow up reading SasoDei fics to not see it when it happens." Hanna giggled and Lily covered her mouth, trying to keep quiet. "They keep eyeing each other. When one isn't looking they just kinda stare at each other. I've even seen them hold hands!"

"What?" Jo asked. "When?"

"When no one is looking they'll link pinkies!" Hanna told them and the two girls squealed excitedly before falling into another round of laughter. Once they caught their breath, Lily poured them another round.

"So, uh, speaking of drouts," Jo cleared her throat and her two friends stared at her. Jo let a lazy grin stretch over her face. "I might be about to end mine."

"No way!" Hanna breathed before busting into a big grin.

"Just make sure he wraps it." Lily snickered. "God knows this is not the time to get knocked up."

"Amen," Hanna and Jo nodded in agreement before giggling. "So you went back to dancing?" Jo asked and Lily froze before looking to her. Jo smirked. "The glitter gave it away."

"Shit," Lily sighed, "Yeah." She admitted.

"What happened to going to school?" Hanna asked. "You're not…you know…"

"No, no nothing like that." Lily told them. "I actually withdrew from classes. I got the refund and I got my old job back. I figure we could really use the extra cash right now."

"Lily, don't worry about money." Jo told her, sighing. "Please don't tell me you dropped out just because money's a little tight."

"Not really." Lily admitted. "I just think I need a break. I don't know what I want to do. Dancing is quick and easy cash. I'm good at it, too." Hanna and Jo looked at each other for a moment and Lily sighed. "Guys, I promise I'm not using. I just really like dancing. It's flexible hours and its good money."

"It can't hurt to have more money, especially since you guys are leaving." Hanna pointed out. "It'll be good to have cash."

"Just promise me the moment it gets to be too much, you let me know." Jo leveled Lily with a stare and Lily smiled at her friend, nodding. "Alright," Jo shrugged, "Cheers to more money."

"Amen to that," Lily said as she handed the glasses out. Lily lifted hers in a cheers. The three silently cheered each other before clinking their small glasses together.

"Tomorrow we start packing." Jo nodded and the three knocked the drink back. Each made a face at the harsh liquid and looked at each other. "And break!"

Lily grunted and slowly tried to open her eyes. She could see red and blue lights flashing behind her closed eyes. She frowned. Why were there cops?

Wait, there were more red than blue. Ambulance was here. Why was there an ambulance? Was everyone alright?

Lily jolted when someone gently grabbed her arms and started to pull her. She felt herself fall and blinked as she opened her eyes. There was glass everywhere and blood mixed with the rain. The road was slick and she was pulled through a muddy puddle. Lily looked up and saw the frame of her truck. It was trashed. Was there a wreck? There must have been. Who the hell was driving her truck?

Whoever was pulling on her tugged on her but she wouldn't go any further. She could feel her foot stuck on the steering wheel. She grunted, trying to talk, but her head hurt, in fact, everything hurt.

She didn't remember driving. She looked up and squinted through the rain to see a familiar face. It was David. Why was he looking at her like that? He looked so disappointed, why was he disappointed? She looked at her truck, she was in the driver seat. Why was she in the driver's seat?

Her thoughts stopped when she saw the ambulance light reflect off her wrecked truck. In the passenger seat, a man was bent over onto the dashboard, facing away from her, but she could see the glass in his head, and blood soaking his long black hair. She could feel her breath catch in her throat. She glanced behind the driver's seat and instantly wished she hadn't. The back half of her truck was crushed and the person sitting behind her was definitely dead. There was no way they were alive. Jo was crushed and all she could see was her arm hanging limply. Lily's stomach dropped. Jo….Jo was dead. There was someone else in the back seat with her, and Lily couldn't see who was back there, or how many people were back there. But she could see blood. It was still raining.

Lily rolled her head to the side as David started pulling her away from the truck again and she saw someone on the hood of her truck, pinned between the truck and some debris. Their face was string right at her. Lily could see Hanna's lifeless eyes and her face was covered in glass and blood. Hanna had gone through the windshield. Hanna was dead.

Was she driving? Why was she driving? Lily felt her stomach lurch. She killed them. She killed them all and she didn't even remember. How could she? Why was she still living?

"Lily, come on." David told her gently. He sounded so tired. "Watch your head." He told her as he guided her into the back of the cop car. He looked at her and she just blinked at him. What does she say? Her stomach rolled. She couldn't take it. She couldn't process what happened. He shook his head and closed the door.

The door of the car slammed shut and Lily's eyes shot open as she sat up. Her fingers dug into something as her chest heaved. She couldn't breathe and her stomach rolled. She tried to focus on what she was touching. On one side, it was her bed, and the other, it was someone's shirt. Her stomach lurched violent. Lily shot up and out her door.

Itachi sat up slowly, being startled by Lily jolting out of bed and scratching him as she woke up. He stared at the door and watched as the small light from the bathroom illuminated the hall. He stood and made his way down the hall towards the bathroom. He could her retching. Itachi walked down the hall quietly as to not disturb the others, although, he was fairly sure an earthquake wouldn't wake them at this point.

Lily had been trying to retch quietly, but was failing. It was hard to stay quiet when a demon was trying to rip your stomach up and out through your mouth. When he pushed open the door, he found her over the toilet. He expected to see her vomiting. He didn't expect to see the panic on her face. He frowned and knelt beside her. Itachi rested a hand on her back and she flinched, but let him. He rubbed her back and moved some of her blue hair away from her face.

It took a little while, but she stopped vomiting. She flushed the toilet and closed the lid before falling on her butt. Itachi kept her propped up and looked at her, concerned. Lily was shaking and terrified, trying to breathe. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand before reaching for the toilet paper, whipping off her mouth, making sure she had nothing on her face. After she threw away the trash, Lily looked up at Itachi and he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. She looked so relieved and looked up at him with a tearful smile. She reached up a shaky hand and gently touched his face. Itachi fought the urge to flinch, but Lily didn't notice. She was too focused on the feeling of relief.

Itachi let his eyes close at the gentle touch and leaned into it a bit. Her touch was gentle and he couldn't help but enjoy her touch. She rubbed her eyes again with her other hand. Why was she so relieved to see him?

"You're alive." She mumbled. Itachi quirked an eyebrow as he opened his eyes and looked at her. "You're ok." She mumbled. She shook and gripped onto his shirt, starting to panic again. "Hanna. Jo. Where are they? Are they ok?" She whispered. Itachi nodded.

"They are asleep." He told her. Lily breathed and relaxed, dropping her head and letting it rest on his shoulder. Itachi froze for a minute. She leaned against him, only barely aware that she was invading the Uchia's space. Itachi looked down at her. She must have had a nightmare.

He picked her up gently and carried her out of the bathroom. He shut off the light and noticed Lily was gripping tightly onto his shirt again, almost as though she was afraid he would slip away if she let him go.

"Sorry," She mumbled as he carried her down the dark hall.

"Hn." He hummed, letting her know it was alright. She felt the rumble through his chest and fought the urge to curl in tighter, pull closer. As he stepped into her room and shut the door behind them, she realized something.

"What were you doing in my bed?" Lily asked, staring up at him as he gently lowered her onto her bed. She watched him, confused and blushing as he sat on the edge and looked at her.

"You don't remember?" He asked her gently and she looked him over. To her relief he was dressed. He must have read her mind because she noticed the corners of his lips quirk ever so slightly upward. He reached over and grabbed her laptop. "We were watching something. You fell asleep and I did not want to disturb you." It all came rushing back as he explained it. She had found him in the kitchen making tea. He was having trouble sleeping and she invited him to her room. She couldn't sleep either, or so she thought.

"Oh, right." Lily mumbled and looked down at her lap for a minute, embarrassed. "Sorry you had to see that." She rubbed her face tiredly, "I get these nightmares sometimes."

"I understand." Itachi said in a tone that made her look back up at him, staring into his red eyes. She gave him a sympathetic smile. He nodded and stood, ready to leave her be and let her sleep but Lily reached out and grabbed his shirt stopping him. Itachi looked at her, waiting to see what she needed and Lily cleared her throat.

"You can stay. You don't have to go." Lily told him. Itachi continued to stare. The offer was tempting. Her bed was more comfortable than the sleeping bag or couch. The way she had fallen asleep next to him had brought him a strange comfort. He found himself wanted to stay for that comfort alone.

"Do you want me to stay?" He asked her. Lily looked confused for a moment as she paused, thinking it over. He wasn't going to stay unless he was wanted, he didn't want her to feel obligated. Slowly, Lilly nodded and he felt his heart skip a beat.

"Yes," Lily admitted quietly. "Please stay."

"Alright."

The moment her room door was shut, Jo Jumped up and wrapped her legs around Hidan just as he pinned her roughly against it and crammed his tongue down her throat. Jo grabbed his hair and pulled roughly as his hands grabbed her ass. She moaned into his mouth and he stepped back away from the door and staggered. As he did, Jo released his hair and grabbed the hem of her shirt and tugged. She was shirtless in seconds and tossed it on the ground before going back to kissing him, but Hidan had other ideas. Before she could start to kiss him again, he attacked her neck viciously. He bit her hard and sent her head back, groaning and Hidan staggered and the two knocked into her dresser. Jo let out a mumbled grunt and grabbed onto his hair again and moved against his chest.

She started pulling open his shirt and she heard buttons pop off. Jo struggled to get the shirt off, it got stuck on his arms, since they were wrapped around her, keeping her turned and dropped them both onto the mattress and she let out and oof before fighting to get his shirt off. He chuckled at her.

"Someone's excited." He commented and sat up to take his shirt off. He dropped himself back on top of Jo and kissed her again, biting her lip and moving to her neck and collar bone. Hidan ran his hands down her sides and she moved against him, gasping as her heart beat rapidly. She wrapped her arms around him and dragged her nails across his skin as he bit down on her neck hard enough to draw blood and kissed her collarbone. Jo tightened her legs and used her weight to flip Hidan onto his back. Her hands went to the zipper on his pants and she grinned at him impishly as the two struggled to get his pants off. Jo giggled at their lack of coordination and Hidan couldn't help but chuckle as she climbed back on top of him and straddled him. She kissed him and his hands roamed over her skin, making her practically purr against his lips. His hand moved up her back and removed her bra like an expert.

"That was fast." She commented and tossed it to the side. Hidan buried himself in her chest and she rolled her eyes. "Fucking animal." She mumbled. Hidan lay back and grinned at her deviously.

"You know you fucking like it." He pointed out and thrust his hips, making her grunt before dipping back down and kissing him. Her hair fell over her shoulder and onto Hidan. He reached a hand up and brushed the hair back and Jo was started at how gentle his hand could be as it ran through her hair, brushing it back over her shoulder. She actually leaned back, staring at him as he moved hair out of her face. "The fuck you lookin' at?" He asked her. Jo shook her head and kissed him again. She moved on top of him.

Hidan responded and let his hand graze down her upper back but he wasn't able to focus on her. His hand had found something on her back that caught his attention. The fuck is this? Jo hissed as he poked it.

"The hell is this?" Hidan grunted. Jo kept kissing him.

"Ignore it." She mumbled and started trailing down his neck, but Jo hissed again when he pressed down.

"There's fucking blood." He told her. Jo practically growled as she grabbed his wrists and pinned his arms above his head.

"I swear to God," She threatened. "If you don't drop it, this aint gonna happen, and you'll sleep in the fucking dirt." She stared at him and he met her gaze before shrugging. Whatever, if she wasn't concerned, neither was he. Jo dipped down and kissed him again. Hidan rolled them to get on top of her, making her laugh quietly, and went to town.

Buzz buzz….buzz buzz buzz….buzz buzz buzz

"Hm?" Hanna hummed and turned her face. She rubbed her eyes and squinted. She reached around, trying to find her phone. She grabbed it and snapped it open. "Hanna." She answered. The voice on the phone spoke to her and she scowled. "What? Shit. Fine, you guys sure you don't need help?" There was pause. "Oh thank god. Peace!" She said and hung up. Hanna placed her face back down on the pillow, trying to burry away from life and responsibilities. Her pillow chuckled and a hand rested on her head. She hummed, letting her body relax and then she froze and popped her head up.

Hanna's gaze met Kisame's amused look and her face turned redder than Sasori's hair, making Kisame chuckle at her again. She felt his hand on the back of her head, playing with her hair and she slammed her face back against his chest, making him grunt before he laughed at her quietly. Kisame ruffled her hair again gently.

"Hey, you good?" He asked her, amused at her embarrassment.

"I can't belevie I fell asleep on you." She whined before looking up at him. "Why didn't you wake me?" She asked and he grinned.

"Eh, I was comfortable." He told her. "Kinda like sleeping with you." Kisame teased and her face turned even redder and she slammed her face back into his chest.

Kisame laughed at the woman on his chest and ran his hand through her knotted hair and looked up. Zetsu was standing there with a cup of coffee. He was standing there and not doing anything. Just staring.

"Sup?" Kisame asked, looking up at his coworker. Zetsu shrugged. Kisame rubbed his face and yawned. "What time is it?"

"About ten." He told Kisame. "Sasori and Konan are making breakfast." He sipped his coffee and walked away. Kisame started poking Hanna.

"You hungry?"

"No." She told him and glared. "I don't wanna deal with today." She said and put her face back on his chest.

"Well, I'm hung over, and I'm pretty sure you are, too." He said and shifted. "Time to get up." She groaned and rolled off of him, hitting the floor. "That works, too." He chuckled as he sat up and ruffled her hair. She sat on the floor and rested her face on the table.

"What's wrong with you, yeah?" Deidara asked as he walked into the living room and sat on the couch behind her.

"Is it raining?" Hanna asked. Deidara looked at the window. It was dark grey outside and raining.

"Mhm." He informed her and she groaned. "What?"

"That damn storm is gonna hit us." Hanna said. "It's up to a category 4."

"Is that bad, un?" Deidara asked. Hanna looked at him sadly.

"Well, it's not good." She said and pulled herself up. "Is Jo up yet?"

"She's not in there, if that's any help." Kakuzu told her as he joined them in the living room. Hanna sighed.

"Is Lily up yet?" Hanna asked.

"I think she still has Itachi trapped in her room with her." Deidara said with a devious smirk. Hanna grimaced. Poor man.

"Yikes." She mumbled. "I'll go check on him, see if he needs food. I should probably wake up Jo."

"Why?" Kisame asked he came back to the room with two plates of food. He sat next to Dediara on the couch and offered Hanna the plate. She shook her head.

"I'll eat it after I wake up Jo." Hanna said and stretched. "We gotta get ready for the hurricane to hit. The eye is gonna get close to us."

"The eye of the storm?" Deidara asked, "That's bad, yeah?"

"Well," She shrugged. "It's not great." She huffed and started up the steps. Should she check on Lily or Jo first? Hanna stopped in front of Lily's door. Lily it is. Hanna knocked gently on the door. When she didn't get an answer, she quietly opened the door and poked her head in. She was about to speak but thought better of it. Hanna smiled at the sight of her friend.

Lily was on the edge of the bed not against the wall, and she was facing away from the wall. Her blue hair was a rat's nest. One arm was under her head and the other was stretched out in front of her and the sheet was tangled around her legs and torso and Lily was snoring softly. Lily's back was pressed against Itachi's back. Itachi was in a similar position, just not as sprawled out. His arm was under his head and the other was angled in front of him and he faced the wall. They were only touching backs, but the two were asleep and relaxed and it was the most adorable thing ever. Hanna smiled and quietly closed the door.

Hanna knocked on Jo's door softly before popping her head in. She shot an eyebrow up and smirked. Jo was asleep still and had the sheet tucked up under her arm. She was covered, but Hanna could see she didn't have any clothes on. Hanna stepped into the room and looked around. She could see her clothes had been tossed around.

"Looks like someone had a fun night." Hanna said as she stepped into the room and shut the door behind her. Jo hummed and waved at her, acknowledging her existence. "Jo, we gotta talk."

"Who I screw is none of your business." Jo mumbled. Hanna snorted.

"Girl, when have I ever cared who you slept with?" Hanna said as she stood in front of Jo's bed. Jo rolled onto her stomach and buried her face in the pillow. She was about to relax when she heard Hanna's startled gasp. "Jesus Christ, Jo, what the hell happened?" Hanna asked as she got onto the mattress and reached a hand out to Jo's back. There were several rather large lacerations on her back shoulder. They looked fairly new and there was actually some blood smeared on her back. Jo rolled to keep her back from Hanna. She gave her a small, tried glare.

"What do you want, Hanna?" Jo asked and rubbed her face.

"An explanation." Hanna told her as she sat on the bed. "Jo, when did this happen? What happened? Was it Brian?"

"Hanna, drop it, I'm fine." Jo said. "What did you come here for?" She asked and looked at her friend, willing her to move on from the subject. Hanna sighed.

"The storm was bumped up to a category 4 this morning." She explained. "It looks like it might hit us."

"Dead on?" Hanna waved.

"Nah, the eye is gonna miss us, but just barely." Hanna explained. "They are talking about a possible evacuation, too, but that's just the media. No officials have said anything yet."

"Shit." Jo grumbled. "We should board up the windows. Maybe start bringing things from the basement into the attic. When's it gonna hit?"

"Not until late tomorrow or the day after at the earliest." Hanna told her. Jo nodded and waved at her.

"Fine." Jo mumbled. "We should do that. Gimme a few minutes, ok?" Jo said and she rolled back over. Hanna chucked before looking at Jo's shoulder again. She knew better than to pry any further so she just had to let it go. For now. Hanna stood and left Jo's room. She closed the door behind her and leaned against it, sighing.

Jo was strong, she had no doubt about that, but there's only so much one person could handle. She thought Brian had been out of the picture for a while now. Maybe there was another explanation. Hanna couldn't think of anything to explain that.

"What the hell's wrong with you?" Hidan asked, seeing Hanna looking rather gloomy. She blinked and offered him a small smile.

"Just tired is all." She told him. Hidan was shirtless and had a towel around his shoulders and his hair was damp, but still combed back. He had been in the shower. "I might need your help later to get some stuff from the basement to the attic. If I get a bunch of you guys helping, it'll go quicker."

"Why the fuck are we moving shit to the attic?" He asked.

"That big storm is heading our way." She explained. "If it floods, I don't want the stuff downstairs getting wrecked."

"Those pictures you showed us looked like if it floods, everything's fucking gone." He pointed out. "What makes you think moving it's gonna save it?" He asked. Hanna offered a smile.

"It won't." She admitted. "I just don't like sitting around waiting. I gotta feel busy."

"Then why the hell you draggin' us into it?" Hidan asked.

"Well, if it is minor flooding, then only the basement will be damaged if we're lucky." She told him, shrugging. "Might as well move it just in case." Hidan rolled his eyes. "Breakfast is ready if you want any." She told him and stepped out of the way so Hidan could go back into Jo's room.

"I'll be down. Gimme a minute. And don't let Kisame eat all the fucking food." Hidan told her. Hanna laughed. Hidan put a hand on the doorknob and was about to go in, but Hanna spoke again.

"Hidan?" She asked quietly. He stopped, almost startled by how quiet and shy she was. He frowned and looked at her. They could hear the rain outside as the wind picked up. Hanna struggled to find what she wanted to say. Should she involve him? Just because Jo slept with him, doesn't mean they are close. "Do you care about her?"

"The hell kind of question is that?" He asked. Hanna waved him off.

"Forget it." She mumbled. "Just, um, you saw her back right?" Hidan looked at her, uncharacteristically serious. He nodded.

"Yeah." He told her. "What the hell happened? You guys don't seem to have any reason to have injuries like that here." Hanna blinked. He was perceptive. She nodded.

"I don't know." She admitted. "Jo won't talk about it. And I guess that's her business. Just don't pry, but can you make sure she treats it? I don't want her getting it infected."

"The fuck do I look like, a nurse?" He asked gruffly. Hanna sighed and Hidan crossed his arms. "Whatever, I'll make sure the bitch takes care of it." He grunted. Hanna smiled at him. He was about to open the door when Hanna spoke again.

"Thank you, Hidan." She told him and turned on her heel to head downstairs. Hidan watched her go before running his hand through his hair. He sighed and opened the door. He closed it behind him as he entered the room and saw Jo still in bed, facing away from him. He smirked at her. She rolled her head to see who it was and she had a grumpy pout on her face. He walked over to her and Jo rolled onto her back. Hidan lowered himself on top of her, propping himself up on his elbows. Jo smirked back at him.

"Mornin'" She mumbled before yawing. She covered her mouth before lazily wrapping her arms around his shoulders. Hidan kissed her neck lazily and he could feel her laughing quietly. He had dropped the towel on the floor and was still shirtless. He lowered himself so the only thing separating them was the sheet.

Jo hummed and ran a hand through Hidan's hair as he kissed her neck, collar, and chest. One of his hands slowly, almost teasingly, moved up her side and onto her chest. He gave a squeeze and Jo responded by arching her back slightly, pressing her closer to him. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of someone being on top of her. There was just something comforting about having a very attractive man on top of her. Although it probably had more to do with the slight pressure of someone else rather than how attractive the person was. Good looks was just a bonus.

Both froze when they heard a thump and someone swearing.

"Lily's up." She explained. They heard someone stumbling down the hall, swearing the whole way.

"Jesus, can the bitch walk?" Hidan asked.

"She's fine." Jo told him and kissed him, getting his attention again. "Pay attention to me." She practically whined teasingly. Hidan smirked and kissed her back. Jo smiled into it until a very loud clap of thunder shook the house. Jo was startled and jolted slightly, her eyes popping wide open. She froze, but Hidan didn't notice. Jo could feel her heart racing a million miles an hour and she couldn't breathe, and it had nothing to do with Hidan kissing her neck again. Another loud clap of thunder startled her and she dug her nails into Hidan. He physically winced but ignored it. It was nothing worse than what she did last night. She tried to move her mouth to speak but she couldn't. Jo mouthed his name. Nothing came out. She was shaking now, she couldn't breathe. "Hidan." She whispered. "Hidan move." She could barely hear her own voice, how could she expect him to hear her. She pulled on his hair a bit, trying to get his attention and she was struggling underneath him. "Stop." She whispered a bit louder. Hidan heard her and rested on his elbows, confused. Jo continued to struggle. "Up, get off." She said a bit more forcefully.

"What?" Hidan asked confused as she struggled against him, trying to get away. Hidan sat up on his knees. Jo scooted out from under him.

"Off, get off." She huffed as she backed up and sat against the wall, covering herself with the sheet. She held a hand out to prevent him from coming closer, if he moved. Hidan frowned at her. What the hell? She looked borderline terrified. A loud clap of thunder startled her and she ran her hands through her hair before pulling on it at the back of her head. Jo brought her knees up infront of her as she looked at the ceiling.

Hidan remained still. Jo seemed to be in a whole other world as she started to rock. "I can't breathe." She mumbled. Another clap of thunder echoed and she closed her eyes and dropped her head on her knees. She inhaled deeply and exhaled. Hidan watched her do this a few times. What the hell happened?

"What the hell?" He mumbled. "You ok?" She nodded. Another clap of thunder made her freeze and he heard her exhale. Jo stood up abruptly, startling Hidan. She bolted to the closet and pulled out a bathrobe and swung it on before grabbing some clothes from the dress and leaving the room without a word. Hidan sat there confused. What the fuck just happened? He wondered as he sat on the bed in her room alone. He could hear the thunder rolling. Was she afraid of thunder?

No, that can't be it. She was fine with it yesterday. She got startled a few times, but she managed. Just a few moments ago, she looked damn near panicked. Hidan stood and walked down the hall, closing her door behind him. He knocked on the door.

"Hey, you good?" He asked her. He could hear the water running. "What the hell was that about?" He asked.

"I'm fine." She responded. Jo sounded a little shaky. She calmed her voice before speaking again. "Go eat something. I'll be down soon. Just need a shower." Hidan shook his head, not convinced but didn't press it. He let his hand slid from the door and left.

Jo sat on the floor of the shower, letting the water run over her. She was curled in on herself and she held her hands over her mouth, trying to keep her sobs silent. Tears ran over her face as she cried quietly, trying to calm herself down.

I thought I was past this!
