I do not own Naruto or "Hello, I Love You" by The Doors


Chapter 20: Changed Plans and the Future

Song of the Chapter:
Hello, I Love You – The Doors
Reason: She learned to ignore the glances other men had for her and look at what she got.


"What the hell do you mean we can't do the ritual at the wedding? I had it all planned out!" Kiyoko massaged her temples and sighed.

"Did it ever occur to you that a group of S ranked shinobi gathering together is perceived as dangerous enough? Also, killing off a village for the sake of a ritual really does not strike me as romantic…" He rubbed the back of his head laughing and seeing her stern expression, he pouted. "I said no damn it."

"Come on Kiyoko-koi." He held her hands and she rolled her eyes.

"No. I am not killing innocents and we are not going to hold a wedding in some rogue village just to satisfy the ritual." He sighed and held her.

"We are going to have to do some rituals on our honeymoon then." She laughed and relaxed into his hug. She frowned feeling his hands wonder down her back and punch him lightly on the shoulder.

"No bra to unhook you idiot and this is not the opportune time for such activities. And we are not going to have a mass killing." He conceded defeat as she kissed his cheek. She crossed over to a table and withdrew a planner "You idiot. Sit here we still have things to go over."

Kakuzu walked into the living room and could have called what he saw sweet. Hidan and Kiyoko were sitting next to each other discussing the plans. Although most would-be husbands would allow the wife to do everything, they both were fighting for compromise. "Come on! You won't let me have the fucking sacrifice so we have to keep the cows."

"I do not wish my wedding to smell like a damn barn." She crossed her arms and turned away. Hidan had an evil smile on his face as he began to kiss her neck. She gasped in surprise and Hidan took that chance to advance to her lips. She closed her eyes as her arms curled around his neck.

Kakuzu smirked and walked past them to get to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. He laughed seeing Kiyoko's expression after she and Hidan broke apart. "By the looks of things, those damn expensive cows get to stay in the wedding after all?" Kiyoko crossed her arms as Hidan cheered.

"Bastard…" she muttered as she scratched a few items off of the list but kept the Kobe cows on. "We need to discuss another thing…" He raised an eyebrow at the item she pointed at. "You may think it is sweet and all that shit, but I really do not want to be impaled after we kiss at the alter." Kakuzu roared in laughter and agreed.

"Do you know how expensive that dress she picked out was? The cost of repairing that dress and cleaning blood is ridiculous." Hidan muttered 'whatever' as he begrudgingly scratched through the item. Kakuzu looked over their shoulders and pointed at another item. "Who's the maid of honor going to be?"

Kiyoko raised an eyebrow as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Konan-san of course. Deidara looks more girly to me and I would prefer him but there is the gender thing. Also Konan is most likely the only female that exists that actually does not want to kill me now." She wrote the kunoichi's name on the list and Kakuzu noted another fact.

"What about the best man?" Hidan groan and faceplanted on the table. Kiyoko put her hand in his hair and yanked his head.

"Idiot; you will end up with a flat face if you do that." He rolled his eyes and yanked on Kakuzu's arm as he pointed at the list. The miser raised an eyebrow before Kiyoko sighed. "What Hidan-koi is trying to say is he wants you to be the best man." Kakuzu smirked underneath his mask and nodded. Hidan wrote his partner's name down and the three continued to pour over the list until an explosion caught their attention. "What the…"

Tobi dashed in and tripped over the sofa. He went flying over the three mostly immortal shinobi. They watched him sail through the air and land in the sink. Right on cue, they heard Deidara. "Idiot! Where are you, un?" A slight whoosh was heard as a clay bird flew over their heads and continue towards Tobi.

Kakuzu facepalmed. "Damn it; I just had that sink replaced." The explosion blew hot air in the faces and Kiyoko frowned. The list in her hands was reduced to ashes and her eyes narrowed to dangerous slits. "That blond better start running."

Deidara finally was in the door frame and his laughs halted when Kiyoko had her scythe pressed against his throat. "You burnt my list I spent all day attempting to revise!" He used a substitution jutsu and escaped while the kunoichi began chasing him through the base. Hidan sighed as he rummaged through his cloak and pulled out a list similar to the one they had been working on.

"Alright Kakuzu; let's finish this shit before she gets back." Kakuzu laughed seeing the list.

"Wow… you were smart enough to make copies? Such insight surely never existed in you before… has marriage or rather the prospect done this to you?" Hidan swung an easily dodged punch at Kakuzu as the two of them began refilling the list.

Tobi emerged from the remnants of the sink and as he walked past the two, they looked at him. He lacked his usual happy step and the cheerful demeanor that exuded from him was gone. Hidan raised an eyebrow when the orange mask wearing shinobi was out of sight. "Kakuzu… what the hell just happened?"

"I have no clue but that was some serious killer intent right there."


Kiyoko smirked evilly at the young artist trapped at the end of the hallway. The only way to escape would be to enter Orochimaru's old laboratory but considering the Sannin's activities such things were discouraged. He looked at fear at the dark haired woman wielding a scythe and decided to risk the dusty abominable room as he entered. He locked the door and gave a small smile hearing Kiyoko knock angrily at the door. He backed up into someone and he gulped. A hand covered his mouth and knocked him out.
