I do not own Naruto or 'Thnks fr th Mmrs' - Fall Out Boy
Chapter 14: Bleeding Immortals
Song of the Chapter:
Thnks fr th Mmrs – Fall Out Boy
Reason: The mixed joy that Kiyoko gets from her memories
Hidan massaged the spot where his head had just been reunited with his neck. The two immortals were not pleased in the slightest upon seeing the treasurer enter his room. Laughing, Kakuzu finally sewed Hidan together and apologized to Kiyoko several times before she waved him off with a 'whatever'. Exactly where Kiyoko had disappeared to was a mystery that everyone so Hidan set off on a search to find his fellow immortal.
Kiyoko's Room…
Hidan walked in without knocking and honestly what was the worst punishment that could befall an immortal? Frowning upon seeing the empty room, he looked in her bathroom. Flipping on the switch, he was instantly blinded by the multitude of light bulbs. Swearing, the Jashinist stumbled out of her room and continued the search.
Kiyoko was tracing out the words with her kunai, delicate was her grip, but sharp was the kunai's edge as she had to remind herself before she hurt someone. The other members cared for her and seeing an old friend hurt her.
The Kitchen…
Hidan peeked inside as was now irate as to the location of the kunoichi. Walking into the former battleground of the cookie battle that had commenced between Deidara and Tobi, he noticed something odd. A great portion of food was missing.
Kiyoko was almost done and the words were carved into the chosen medium of her art. Rereading the words she had written brought tears to her eyes.
The Living Room…
Sasori and Kakuzu were watching the television with bored expressions. The puppet master sighed. "Must we watch this? I have already seen 'History of the Sand' already."
"I don't see why we even have a television of this size. It is a waste of money." Sasori rolled his eyes as Kakuzu changed the channel and now they were watching 'Icha Icha' marathon.
"Change. This show is stupid." Hidan raised his eyebrow as he walked in the living room.
"I swear you heathens are going to burn in hell for watching that shit." Kakuzu gave Hidan the finger as he changed channels.
"The fuck you want Hidan?" Kakuzu muttered. His mood was starting to rise as he realized he had found the 'History of the Ryo' that he had been looking forward to watching.
"I can't find Kiyoko-chan. Any ideas?" Both men shook their heads and Hidan groaned. After the silver haired man left, Sasori turned his head to Kakuzu.
"Is it a good idea to lie to him? It is obvious how possessive and overprotective he is of her." Kakuzu smirked.
"Kiyoko-chan gave specific instructions that he is not to find her until she wants to be found." Sasori rolled eyes and stared at the television.
Kiyoko breathed a sigh of relief. Almost finished…
Hidan's Room…
The Jashinist burst in and grabbed various supplies around his room. What if they came back from the Leaf Village to get her? Throwing everything in a backpack, he went all around the base to double check if anyone had any information on the former Leaf kunoichi. That failing, he sighed and stepped out into the forest surrounding the base.
Smirking, Kiyoko had only one more word. Carving the kanji, her concentration shattered, "KIYOKO-CHAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!?" The kunai slipped. Kiyoko winced as the ninja knife scratched her right hand and the kanji was ruined. However, panic set in as she realized that Hidan was coming closer and closer.
"Fuck…" Kiyoko's hard work was ruined and she frantically summoned her scythe from her scroll and began to correct the ruined work.
Hidan heard something faint and took off immediately. Within a moment of running, he heard the sound of metal scraping on…
Kiyoko had managed to carve out almost all of the kanji on the tree she had been carving out. There were only a few lines left and once she was done, she could go back to the base. Hearing twigs snap, she was about to swipe at the tree to remove all of the remaining offending kanji, but she tripped upon hearing the sound disturbance. In a dash, Hidan caught her, but his right hand bleed as he also caught the scythe and stopping it from slashing her. Kiyoko saw the cut on Hidan's hand and her eyes widened. "Hidan-kun… I am so sorry."
"Don't worry about it. I was worried about you Kiyoko-chan." Kiyoko's eyes lowered and she felt guilty. "So… what have you been working on?"
"A gift for you… but I messed up one of the kanji and that really ruined the whole message…" Hidan laughed which made Kiyoko turn her face towards him in irritation. He leaned his forehead against hers which calmed down the kunoichi.
"Knowing you're safe is a gift enough." They two leaned towards each other in a brief kiss. Breaking apart, Hidan's lavender eyes met Kiyoko's crimson ones. "We need to head back Kiyoko-chan."
Kiyoko's bloody right hand grabbed Hidan's equally stained right. "Hidan-kun… I want to make a promise with you…" Hidan nodded and Kiyoko continued. "I will never again lie or have others lie about me to you. I told Kakuzu to stay quiet so I could prepare a surprise for you." Hidan nodded silently and together, they held their right hands together, the immortal blood mixing. A strange surge of power seemed to emanate from the blood vow they had just made.
Hidan kissed her forehead. "Come on. I can tell you're tired so I will carry you." Kiyoko nodded as Hidan bent down. Carrying her piggy back style, they dashed off towards the Akatsuki base.
The next day…
Kakuzu walked into the living room and found Hidan sacrificing the television for the sinful shows it had displayed. The treasurer had took take a deep breath so that he would not explode at the destruction of pricy items. "We have a mission. Get ready." Hidan pulled a pike out of the ravaged television and nodded.
"Is Kiyoko-chan coming?" Kakuzu shook his head and Hidan sighed.
"Leader-sama said she has a mission that in a day, she will leave for another mission so we have to be without her." Hidan nodded and as he moved to his room, Kiyoko came out and saw him.
"Hidan-kun… I heard you have a mission now and tomorrow I have a mission so it might be a while." Hidan cupped her cheek and kissed her lightly. "There is a present for you just so you know…" Hidan looked into her crimson eyes and nodded. She waved as the Jashinist and the stitched ninja left.
Kakuzu sighed as Hidan yanked him towards the forest. Hidan reached the decimated tree, decimated meaning a tenth being destroyed, and read some newly carved kanji. Hidan, thanks for giving me a reason to look forward to immortality and for me being glad that no other can touch me.
