Chapter 6: Defiance
Hidan woke up to find a few stray fingers twisted in his hair. He managed to pull away and noticed Kiyoko still asleep. Poking her in the forehead, she woke up irritably. "What?"
"You had your fingers in my hair. You crossed the pillow. Remember our agreement?"
"It did not apply to me; it applied to you."
Hidan's mouth fell. "What kind of fucked up logic is that?"
Kiyoko smirked. "Simple, chances are that you would unconsciously try something, but I would not. Besides, it was just in your hair. Really silky hair…"
Hidan glanced at her in confusion. "Did you just compliment my hair?"
Kiyoko raised her eyebrow. "So what if I did? Is my touch so repulsive that it annoyed you?"
"No it isn't. I liked it…"
Kiyoko's eyes softened, but the moment was interrupted by Kakuzu. "God, I think I'm going to puke…"
"Fuck you Kakuzu." Hidan muttered. Kiyoko rolled her eyes and rummaged in her backpack for a scroll. Breaking the seal, a dresser appeared. Kakuzu's eyes once again had currency symbols in them upon thinking about how such skills could be used.
"What to wear… what to wear…" Kiyoko murmured opening various drawers and looking through a multitude of clothing articles.
"We don't give a damn, pick something." Kiyoko glared upon hearing the Jashinist's statement.
"Well I care ok? I need a practical outfit that is classy, but does not just scream Leaf Village traitor. Looks kind of matter Hidan… But I suppose considering how you dress, you would not know that…"
"The hell does that mean?"
Kakuzu's fingertips were sending chakra through his temples trying to drive away the pounding headache. "Hidan, she is referring to your cloak…"
Hidan rolled his eyes as he was putting on the 'offending' garment. Of course, he left the front of the cloak off a few buttons. However, he forgot about Kiyoko's presence until she threw a pillow at him. "Could you have changed in the bathroom?!"
"What?" Hidan glanced down at himself and blushed slightly. "Shit, sorry Kiyoko-chan."
Kiyoko rolled her eyes as she picked an outfit from her dresser. "Sure you are…" With the articles of clothing in her hands, she walked to the bathroom and slammed the door.
Hidan strode to the bathroom pounding on the door. "I always take my showers in the morning so get your ass out!"
Kiyoko poked her head out of the bathroom and stared at Hidan. "Idiot… I am getting dressed in here since I have the common sense to not get dressed in front of two men. After I finish, you can primp in the bathroom." With that, she slammed the door again. Hidan sighed and plopped back on the bed.
Kakuzu shook his head at the scene playing out before him. "Idiot…" We don't need a TV in the Akatsuki with this Soap Opera going on around me…
Kiyoko was in front of the mirror gazing at her reflection. She had not expected her hair's episode with Hidan's scythe to turn out so well, but then again, she had talents regarding weapons. She sighed. I guess I had to make up for my pitiful offensive ninjutsu and genjutsu skills. She surveyed her outfit. It was a black yukata with a red obi around its waist. Inside were various hidden weapons, but she felt that they would be unnecessary considering her escort. As a finishing touch, she added her marred Leaf Village headband.
Smiling with satisfaction at her outfit, she walked back into the room and placed her night clothes in the dresser. Resealing it within her scroll, she placed it in her backpack. Hidan looked over his clothes.
"I thought you wanted an outfit that does not, as you put it, 'scream Leaf Village traitor'."
Kiyoko sighed. "I figured since I will be an Akatsuki member, all ties to my village should be severed, which I have done. Wearing this headband is a sign that I have done so."
Hidan smirked. "Suit yourself." Hidan could not help but glance at Kiyoko. That yukata looks nice on her… He sadly shifted his glance to Kakuzu. "Can we order some fucking room service? I'm starving!"
Kiyoko twitched at the profanity and Kakuzu snorted. "You are immortal, why do you even need food?"
"Because, immortal or not, food stops my stomach from grumbling and besides, I don't want to lose my figure."
Kiyoko muttered. "Got to have one before you lose one…"
Kakuzu laughed and Hidan glared at Kiyoko. "Not funny Kiyoko-chan. Anyway, can we get some fucking food Kakuzu?"
"No, that costs more money idiot. You should have packed extra food you idiot."
Hidan was cursing as Kiyoko pulled yet another scroll from her bag and broke the seal on it.

Tsunade sighed. I've been in Kiyoko's house several times when she was not on a mission and she would never haul this many supplies even on missions that took her several months. Is she truly planning on staying in the Akatsuki?
