Enjoy

After the stunning fight of the Akatsuki the vital festival continued as planned. Teams continued there matches while those teams who already finished there fight watched from the stadium seats.

The Akatsuki were currently observing the remaining matches with bored expressions. Sure these kids were talented but they aren't that different from a chunin exam. There unique fighting styles and weapons was the only reason why most of the Akatsuki watched. The minority decided to watch there possibly opponents for the next match, the minority being Kisame and Itachi who will fight in the double matches.

Currently team SSSN was fighting team NDGO. The fight wasn't all that interesting to the Akatsuki members but it was actually quite entertaining. After the match Itachi noticed that the monkey Fanus was winking over to someone in the crowd. His eyes glanced over to the crowd and was able to spot Blake who was blushing thanks to his excellent eye sight.

The uchiha let out a sigh only to be patted on the back by Kisame. The shark smiled at his teammate. "Don't let your head hang low. I'm sure you are able to seduce her, no way she would fall in love with a monkey."

"Isn't that a bit racist?" Deidara asked who sat next to Kisame.

The shark smiled. "Not if I say that."

Itachi appreciated the concern of his teammate but it wasn't a problem about seduction. "If I really wanted her I could just trap her in an illusion and be done with it. In the end it is her decision and I will respect that. If she wants Sun that I have no right to stand in the way."

Hidan leaned over from behind. "What a pussy. You gotta take what's is yours, claim it."

"And how dose one claim somebody Hidan?" Kakuzu asked concerned about how his teammate thinks a relationship works.

Hidan just crossed his arms with pride. "If you smash that ass and no one gives the other money afterwards than its official and you both are together. That's why you always have cash in your pocket so in case you get drunk and wake up next to someone you give it to them and you are safe."

The Akatsuki just looked at Hidan. Kakuzu could only shake his head. "You are the most powerful personification of stupidity."

The announcer was suddenly heard throughout the stadium. "That wraps it up for today folk. Pleas leave the arena in a calm and orderly fashion."

Hidan looked confused for a moment. "What? That's it? That's the entire festival?"

Deidara decided to explain Hidan what was now happening. "The fights for today are done. The booths outside are still open till the evening and will stay there until the festivities final battle. As for us who lost the match its only booths and watching matches for us."

"Come the fuck on! Isn't there anything interesting to do?" Hidan complained loudly.

"Well, there is actually a military convoy flying over the arena and towards the docks. That might be worth killing some time." Kakuzu said while watching the Atlas ship fly over there heads.

"Beats jerking off again. Let's go." Hidan announced as the group started walking towards the exit. Kisame stopped Itachi for a moment.

"Did you see were Nagato Konan and Sasori went?"

"They said something about meeting with Ozpin. Actually good that you stop me, I wanted to discuss our fight style during our next match in case we are up against Orochimaru." Itachi answered the big shark.

Kisame only shrugged. "Alright, I personally would say bite his head off but that might not make us to crowd favorites."

Kakuzu, Hidan and Deidara thought they had to force there way through the huge crowd of people in order to reach the docks and see what this peculiar looking ship was harboring. However the people quickly made space for the Akatsuki members as they simply walked to there destination.

Kakuzu noticed that these people weren't getting out of the way out of respect but out of pure fear, a common thing in his live. This would always happen if his identity was revealed during one of his missions, the villagers would always scurry away like rats in hopes to avoid his wrath.

At first he enjoyed this feeling of power but it soon go boring until it got annoying and ultimately he started to hate it. The only people who would talk to him would be the sort of scum that would sell there familie members if the price was right. He was never able to talk to decent folk, not that he wanted to, he just sometimes wished for a conversation with a stranger that would not end up in a deal or a death threat or actual death.

While he thought about his past he didn't notice that he was actually walking away from the docks. By the time he realized that he wasn't with the other but instead run into Emerald and Mercury he doubted his own brain. Did this peacefully happy goody goody attitude of the students make him loose focus so often? Then again the other Akatsuki members did that two from time to time. Maybe they all suffer from some sort of dimension travel sickness. Is that even a thing? Have they been talking to Kakuzu the entire tine while he was lost in thoughts again?

"Hm? What? Sorry I was thinking." Kakuzu simply stated.

"Huh, whatever. They probably weren't real hearts anyway." Mercury said as he walked away. Before he left however he bumped against Kakuzu with his shoulder. Normally he would kill anyone who tried something like this but the timing wouldn't be the best right now, so he'll just enjoy the fact that Mercury sees him as equal. His face will be priceless when he realizes that Kakuzu is far, far above him.

Kakuzu turned to Emerald who just continued to look at him. Not with fear or hatred, but simple curiosity. "Your friend isn't very friendly."

"Neither are you and yet you still get around somehow." She simply said.

He was starting to get annoyed by the fact that she simply looked at him with those curious eyes. She was definitely looking for something. "Can I help you?"

She wasn't even slightly afraid from Kakuzu's slight annoyed growl. "Nope, just wandering how that huge amount of tentacles fit in your body."

"They are not tendrils not tentacles."

"Sure,fine, whatever."

He was starting to angry. "Listen, you have seen my true face. The monster that will kill you and this city if it's angry. So why poke it with a stick?"

Emerald just shrugged. "I have seen monsters. They all have no brain and simply kill for the fun of it. You however follow a reasoning, you fight for yourself and only kill if it's convenient for you. So I am not afraid."

"Congratulations on not being afraid, only the stupid or the smart are not afraid. You may think that you understand me but you are wrong." Kakuzu said slightly happy that he found someone who is considered a strange and isn't afraid of him, even though she is working with Orochimaru.

"I think I got you. You are the type of person who loves money. You are so greedy that you would probably collect money rather then helping your friends." She said with a knowing smirk.

Kakuzu decided to correct her. "I would pick up the money because I know that they can handle themselves. You probably got this from Orochimaru right?"

She simply nodded. "He told me to get closer to you and seduce you but I'm sure that that won't work. So why not enjoy these conversations?"

Kakuzu eyebrows rose slightly. "And how do you expect to draw enjoyment out of this?"

Emerald smirked and pulled out a wallet. "How about you give me a chance to win my money back?"

He smiled under his mask. "Is that your friends wallet?"

She pulled out another wallet. "And this is Orochimaru's wallet. Mercury pissed me of the other day and that snake is just creepy, so why not?"

"This is going to be fun."

Deidara and Hidan continued through the crowd until they spotted Ruby and weiss talking to some higher official in front of that ship. Deidara looked to the immortal. "It seems they know that woman. Let's leave them to there conversation."

"Fuck that, we are the Akatsuki. Messing in other people's business is our thing." Hidan assured the artist.

"Aren't we mercenaries that strive for world pice?" The blond artist asked.

"That's exactly what I fucking said." Before Deidara could respond the immortal already grabbed him by his arm and pulled him towards the small group.

Weiss turned around and immediately spotted Hidan and Deidara coming towards them. "Oh, and while we are talking about friends, this is Deidara and Hidan. Well Deidara at least."

"Fuck you to bitch." Hidan immediately responded with a fake smile. Ruby couldn't help but to slightly giggle at Hidan.

The woman with white hair just like weiss turned her head in disgust at the immortal. "So you are one of those Akatsuki I heard about. I saw your match and I must admit that you are definitely the weakest of them all."

"Bitch please im immortal." Hidan simply said with pride.

"I will believe that wen I see it. In the match you only received a stab wound that you healed quickly, not any fatale wounds." Her head turned to the blonde artist. "And you are."

"Oh, forgive my rudeness. My name is Deidara. If I may ask how do you know Ruby and weiss miss...?" The artist asked while slightly bowing his head.

The woman simply smiled. "My name is Winter Schnee. I believe that should also answer your question."

The artist smiled. "Why of course. Such high authority and manors could only be achieved by a Schnee while still looking so dashing."

Winter turned to her sister. "Your letters mentioned that he was good looking but nothing about his way with words."

Weiss immediately turned red. "Winter!"

Deidara ears perked a bit and a smile came across his face. "Oh? What els did your sister write about me?"

The older sister just chuckled. "Some other interesting things. I was actually going to inspect her rooms now since I have time to spare. Why don't you join us on the way and tell me more about your art."

Thy started to walk as Deidara was now happily talking with the two sisters. "The first thing you need to know about art is that is not something eternal but actually a explosion. Hm."

Hidan and Ruby were left standing there. The immortal looked to Ruby with a smirk and stared to pretend to be of high nobility. "Look at me I know who to speak funny and have butlers and other shit others don't have."

They had a small laugh, high fives each other and stared to walk away. "So Hidan. What was that skin changing thing you did in the arena? It looked really cool."

The immortal smiled proudly. "That was my ultimate technique, my death possession blood. Once I lick just a drop of ones blood I'm linked with that person. Then when I stand in a symbol of Jashin we will feel the same pain and receive the same damage."

"And since you are immortal you basically have them completely dominated. That's so cool!" Ruby beamed with delight.

"I know right!" Hidan said with complete joy in his voice. They continued there conversation as they walked until they herd the sound of someone battling by the courtyard.

"Last one there is a rotten egg!" Ruby yelled as she dashed towards the courtyard with Hidan following her. As they arrived they soon reunited with Deidara and Weiss who watched the battle from the crowd.

"Some maniac just attacked my sister!" Weiss said utterly shocked that anyone would dare doing that. Ruby looked concerned and watch the two of them fighting. That's when she saw who the attacker was.

"That's my uncle! Kick her but uncle Qrow!" She started to cheer her uncle as he continued to fight Winter. The immortal turned his head to the blonde artist who only shrugged his shoulders. Knowing that this might be a good opportunity to show of he decided to break the fight up with his immortality. He waited for a moment were both fighters charged at each other and were about to swim there blades. In that moment he jumped right between them.

He was facing Winter as her Rapier plunged into his chest. Blood spilled on the ground but he only smiled at that surprised face of hers. What he didn't though what would happen was that Qrow tried to stop his attack by trying to avoid Hidan with a swing. That failed however and with one blow Ruby's uncle cut the immortals head clean off.

His head flew up in the air and then landed on the ground. Naturally Hidan's headless body spray blood in every direction, converting both Winter and Qrow. Both jumped back and Winter pulled her blade out of Hidan's body which then fell to the ground.

The entire crowd was dead silent. Nobody made a sound as the puddle of blood slowly spread. Someone in the crowd was just about to scream when suddenly Deidara stepped forward. "You know that plan might have worked if you'd included me."

"Screw you! You should have reacted sooner!" Hidan's head suddenly yelled back wich naturally shocked everyone again. They all looked at the decapitated head in complete horror.

Deidara calmly crossed his arms. "I don't think you are in any position to talk to me in that way. How an I supposed to know what you plan?"

Hidan grumbled to him for a moment and then sighed in defeat. "Alright, alrighty point taken but I assure you that I just said that because I think highly of you. So come on old pale, won't you please call Kakuzu so he can Stich me back together? Pretty please?"

Hidan tried his best to sound as innocent and sincere as possible but Deidara knew very well that the immortal didn't mean any word he just said. The artist pulled out his scroll and wrote a text message to Kakuzu. Then he walked towards Hidan's body and grabbed his wallet to take all of Hidan's money. "I will take that as compensation."

"Hey, hey! Wait that's the allowance Kakuzu gave me! You now that Kakuzu is stingy and refuses us a fair share!" Hidan yelled as his head wriggled.

Deidara simply smiled and stared to walk away. "I know, that's why I'm taking our share. It's obvious that I would benefit more from your money. Hey Weiss, want to get something from a booth? Hidan is paying."

"Come back here you clay fucker! I swear I will break your teeth!" The immortal yelled again as his head wriggled completely defenseless on the ground.

Weiss followed the blonde artist while the group of people stared to walk away, some of them probably scared for life. Even Winter and Qrow didn't seem to be themselves anymore. They both were still drenched in Hidan's blood as they walked away, muttering something about reporting.

Hidan thought that he was alone until he felt his head being gentle picked up. Ruby was facing him by holding his head by the cheeks. "How are you able to talk? Don't you need lungs to talk?"

Hidan tried to look away. "If I had shoulder right now I would definitely shrug them."

Ruby noticed the immortal looking away. "Are you embarrassed that you're head was cut off by my uncle?"

"No, it's just that... well, your hands are soft. It feels nice." Hidan said while actually slightly blushing.

Of course Ruby noticed that and blushed a bit as well. "W-well, thank you."

The immortal tried to change the topic. "Just so you know, I'm going to guilt trip the shit out of your uncle."

She laughed at that. "Well, he did decapitate you. I'm sure you will manage without much effort."
