Chapter 2: The Brutal Killer
They skirted around the village until they were on the side closest to the graveyard. The moon had already risen. She silently led them passed darkened gravestones until they come upon a freshly dug grave. "And here we are," she said with a smile in Hidan's and Kakuzu's direction.
"Thanks girly, we can take care of it from here." Hidan patted her on the head again and turned to Kakuzu. "Well hurry up. I'm not digging the corpse out." She wanted to retort that "girly" was not her name, but she had lost her chance. They hadn't even asked her name yet.
Kakuzu said nothing as he turned to the grave. With quick hand signs he hit the ground, which rippled and brought up the coffin. He opened the lid and casually pulled out the dead man. Anna's eyes drifted to where she had stabbed him, but it had all been cleaned up before he had been buried.
Before they could leave, Anna felt the presence of many shinobi approaching form the village. Not long after, a group surrounded them. She recognized a few and smiled.
"Leave Shinda be!" exclaimed one before noticing Anna. "Anna?! What are you doing here? Return Shinda to his rest! Haven't you done enough to him?"
Anna was about to retort before Hidan placed his hand on her shoulder and moved her aside. "Oi oi, don't yell at girly. I'll be your opponent." He grinned. "Who's first? Actually, it would be faster if you all came at me at once."
"Why you—" growled one.
"Don't get too cocky!" exclaimed another, leaping at Hidan.
The one that leaped was quickly killed on Hidan's Scythe. He looked at the fallen shinobi in disgust. "Come on. That was barely a fight. How am I supposed to have fun if you die just like that?"
More came at him in anger. Anna watched, eyeing Kakuzu. "Shouldn't we help him?"
Kakuzu shrugged. "He's fine." Then a little more loudly, he yelled to Hidan, who was laughing maniacally as he killed more. "Hurry up."
"You can't hurry sacrifices," Hidan shouted as he swung around his scythe. "But I'll clear out the weaklings first and use the last few for sacrifices." He sounded a bit disappointed.
One of the Shinobi men suddenly bypassed Hidan and headed toward Anna, a large blade drawn. "Traitor!" she shouted, "Why are you helping the Akatsuki!"
Anna drew a kunai, ready to run at the man as well. Before she jumped, Hidan's Scythe flew by, hitting the man, who fell. Anna looked at the Scythe and her eyes followed a metal band that connected it to Hidan's staff. She hadn't realized that it could extend. She looked back at the blood soaked shinobi as he fell after the Scythe was ripped out of him. She shivered. If it had been a second later, she would have gotten hit too… Perhaps fighting with Hidan was more dangerous…
She stood back as Hidan finished off two at a time. She would old her breath and tense up every time he was hurt, but he seemed mostly unfazed—besides his constant complaining that it hurt. She soon noticed him stop jumping around between kills. Instead he stood in one spot, drawing out the Jashin symbol with blood—his own, she noticed. But instead of stopping to think what it meant, the still-alive shinobi just attacked.
She watched in awe when he got a hold of one shinobi's blood, licked it… and turning into some strange thing… He looked like a demonic skeleton, she thought with a giggle. Kakuzu looked at her with a strange face, probably wondering if she was insane, but she didn't mind. She started laughing more when she learned what this new ability could do. Hidan and she were the only ones laughing though. The other shinobi watched in horror as their comrade fell to the ground writhe in pain from a wound that appeared out of nowhere, a wound similar to one that Hidan had caused on himself. One of them looked at her in disgust for a moment but she didn't mind as she watched them slowly and agonizingly sacrificed.
In the end, everything was still. Hidan lay in the circle, grinning, and a metal spike still lodged in his chest. "Are you done already?" Kakuzu finally spoke.
Hidan glared up at him. "Fuck off." His eyes shifted to Anna. "What are you looking at?"
Anna shook her head and grinned "That was amazing! Immortals are really something!"
He eyed her suspiciously before getting up. "I guess Lord Jashin will be satisfied for now." He picked up his scythe and swung it on his back.
She watched as the combo began to walk away with the body they had come for. She reached out for a second but her hand dropped. She really wanted to go with them… but how was she supposed to ask that? They wouldn't want some girl they knew nothing about hanging around them. She had decided when she first ran off that she would be a loner, why was she the one reaching out for someone now?
To her disbelief, Hidan stopped and turned back to look at her. "You coming?" he asked.
Anna opened her mouth, but it felt dry and no noise came out.
Hidan continued, "It's not like you're going to be welcomed back by your village any time soon." He eyed the corpses that littered the graveyard. The ground was drenched in blood. Moonlight shone off the slick surface.
She smiled, her eyes widening. She quickly ran to catch up to them. "At least they don't have far to take the bodies," she giggled.
