Chapter 19: Preparing a Jashinist Wedding

Song of the Chapter:
Keep Holding On – Avril Lavigne
Reason: Love is simple to talk about until you are head over heels.

Kiyoko touched the gold ring on her finger and smiled at the preparations going underway. Kakuzu might have had a heart attack, but he said to a certain extent he was willing to foot the bill but the gleam in Hidan's eyes promised yet another heart attack. Hidan was gleeful in telling the self proclaimed wedding planner Tobi exactly how a Jashinist wedding was run. "You know you all fucking are invited so don't pull any shit. Jashinists usually invite innocent people like villagers to weddings and sacrifice them all to Jashin-sama. If we do that, we feed Zetsu." Tobi happily squealed and began to follow the Jashinist around making sure to get everything right.

"Anything else Hidan-san?" Hidan smirked and began to talk more about the planning. Kakuzu was in the corner trying to calculate the costs and a vein was popping out of the man's forehead.

"Well; we need some fucking food but not just some cheap ass shit." Kakuzu's massages his temples in the corner as he listens. "Some cows can be brought to the wedding but not just any cows. Kiyoko-koi, what are those cows called that have the really tasty beef?"

Kiyoko raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Kobe and are you really considering having cows are our wedding?" She sighed as he smirked and Kakuzu had another heart attack. "I guess so. Hey Deidara-kun, can you bring Kakuzu another heart? That is the second one that Hidan-koi killed today." The blond's profanity could be heard and an explosion indicated his displeasure.

"Fuck yes we are having beef. Fresh shit too!" Kiyoko crinkled her nose when Hidan corrected himself. "Fresh food I suppose." Tobi was enthusiastically writing everything down.

"Didn't Hidan-san say that a ritual had to be performed?" Hidan's eyes lit up at the mention of such and Zetsu glided in.

"Zetsu you leafy bastard get here; you'll love this." Kiyoko rolled her eyes and walked over to the door.

"I am going before I lose my lunch." Hidan laughed as he placed his arms around her waist. "You are a bastard sometimes you know."

He smirked before kissing her gently. "Yes but I'm your bastard." She laughed before heading outside. Hidan smirked before turning back to Tobi. "Write this shit down because it gets complicated like hell." Tobi was scribbling away swiftly as Hidan droned on.

Kiyoko sat on her bed staring at the ring on her hand as she smiled. She reached absentmindedly into her drawer and frowned as she got a splinter. She pulled out the offending object and when she saw it, her eyes softened. It was a photo of her and Kakashi right before a mission. She had to act the part of his wife and he her husband and they were in matching attire. It was an unusual mission but odder had been assigned and completed. She bit her lip and decided something; he deserved to know even if they had nothing past a best friend's relationship. She made up her mind and packing a small sack, she walked out and saw Hidan still in the full swing of wedding planning and smirked. I never saw him the type to actually be into all this shit…

Hidan felt her presence and turned around immediately all grins. She hugged him and he looked into her eyes. "Telling him right?" She nodded and kissed his cheek. "Be back soon alright? I suck at picking out wedding dresses."

Kiyoko laughed at this. "You would have me most likely wearing some bag that is not very flattering because you would not want others to look at me." He laughed before she interrupted him. "You are wearing something to cover your chest you know. My husband will not be ogled by Zetsu's soon to be dinner." He laughed as he nodded and knowing she had permission, she kissed him on the lips with the initial intent for it to be swift. However, Hidan had other intentions as he tickled her side and she gasped in an attempt to laugh. The Jashinist's tongue slipped in and Kiyoko moaned at the sensation. Tobi's visible eye widened widely realizing what the sound was.

"AH! Tobi's virgin ears!" He dashed out with the planning clipboard. Kiyoko chuckled and as her fiancé hugged her.

"He does realize that the two of us are still right?" He laughed and Kakuzu turned back in surprise and stared at Hidan.

"You actually are still a virgin?!?" Hidan nodded and held Kiyoko's hands.

"Jashin-sama's followers are forbidden such things outside of marriage. Marriage must be approved by Jashin-sama like this one was." He rubs the back of Kiyoko's hand with his thumb and she smiles as she leaves with the sack.

"Where is she going?" Kakuzu questioned.

Hidan bit his lip before picking up his scythe to go find Tobi. "To talk to a friend."

A few days later…

Kakashi sighed as he emerged from his bed. It was six in the morning and he felt like he wanted to spend all day if possible at the KIA monument, but figured that chances were a mission would pull him away. Just as he was about to leave through the window, he heard a knock at the door. Opening it, his eyes widened and he dropped the orange book in his hands. "Kiyoko?"

She nodded and before the man could properly gawk at her any further, she closed the door and sat on his couch. "I need to talk to you."

Kakashi was still in a state of shock watching the woman who had resisted all attempts of capture of persuasion sitting on his couch. He could sense the importance however by Kiyoko's serious tone. "About what?" Kiyoko sighed and bit her lip before showing Kakashi her hand. At first the silver haired man though she was going to change her mind and flip him off, but when he it…

"… You are an Akatsuki member…" She rolled her eyes and pointed to a different ring. "Oh… my… fucking… god…"

"Yeah." Kakashi looked like he was about to have a Kakuzu-sized heart attack. "What is that look for?"

"You are getting married… it is a lot to take in Kiyoko." She nodded and withdrew a scroll from within the Akatsuki robes she was currently wearing.

"This… is all the legal documentation you need to claim my home. I have no valuables there as you most likely already know, but this will allow you to claim that residence as your own." Kakashi looked up at her with confusion.

"You aren't going to keep it?" Kiyoko frowned and looked at him.

"The house or the ring?" Kakashi could hear the hurt tone in her voice and softened his eyes.

"You are immortal Kiyoko. After all of us die, with that documentation, she could live in the house long after everyone forgives your crimes. You really want to forfeit it?"

She nodded and played with her wedding ring. "The person I am marrying… we are both immortal so having a home really will not affect us. Both of us being shinobi also…" She stopped when she noticed Kakashi's brow furrowing. "Are you mad at me?"

Kakashi massaged his temples and sighed. "I am disappointed in some of the choices you have made and if you are marrying who I suspect is your fiancé…" she gave a crooked grin as Kakashi sighed. "But I can't be angry at you." She smiled as she gave Kakashi the scroll and he reluctantly accepted it. "If you force me too I guess I cannot refuse." He picked up the scroll and looking through it, nodded. She stood up and was about to leave when his gloved ninja hand grabbed her wrist.

"Kakashi…" He bit his lip and looked at her.

"When is the wedding?" She looked into his eyes and shrugged.

"Not sure but I can tell you… chances are it will not exactly be anything legal nor will the activities be… uh savory." Kakashi raised an eyebrow and laughed.

"Exactly what does the entertainment for the wedding call for? Tell me all the details seeing as chances are, I will be unable to attend." Kiyoko laughed at the change from betrayed best friend to the giddy best friend of a bride.

"Well… Hidan-koibito has the idea of inviting a small village so that he can offer a large sacrifice to Jashin-sama. We are going to butcher a couple of Kobe cows for food." Kakashi laughed and smirked.

"Wow… so much for the normal fairy tale wedding every little girl wishes for." Kiyoko smirked lightly before punching the Copy ninja's arms lightly.

"Just so happens my fiancé is hotter than hell and could beat the shit out of any pansy fairy tale prince." Kakashi roared in laughter and she smirked at him. "I have never been normal Kakashi so the chances of me falling for a regular man, even a regular shinobi was low to start with." He gave one of the few happy eye creases that he gave nowadays.

"He really makes you happy doesn't he?" She smiled and her eyes lit up as she nodded. Kakashi smirked. "If he ever pisses you off, you know where to find me." They heard the door knock and both tensed. "That is most likely Gai with a ridiculous challenge. Hurry." Kiyoko nodded and opening the window, made a hand sign as she burst into flower petals that scattered in the wind.

A day later…

Kiyoko walked in through the lair and was surprised to see the various members of the Akatsuki sprawled about the living room more or less drunk. She shook her head as she made her way to Hidan's room. He was in the middle of getting dressed and smirked having just put on his pants. "Have you ever knocked especially this morning? You know that my sleep attire normally just consists of boxers."

Kiyoko smirked as she embraced him. "If that was your way to discourage me, I will kindly inform you it had the opposite of its intended effect." Hidan smirked as he kissed her on the cheek.

"How did meeting him go?" Kiyoko smiled and rested her head on Hidan's chest and hummed in happiness hearing the immortal's heartbeat.

"Well… he could not be happier for the wedding although he… disapproves of some things." Hidan nodded in understanding as he stroked her face.

"Those bastards out there decided to test the alcohol that I was thinking about having for the wedding. We should give them hell shouldn't we?" Kiyoko had an evil smirk and placed her hand on his cheek.

"How best to do that? A noisy ritual in the middle of it all?" Hidan had an evil glint in his eyes as he captured her lips.
