Hidan raised his arm to his face; the wind here was brutal- brutal enough to destroy a mountain. The Jashinist burrowed into the jacket he was wearing, it wasn't much, but at least it was some protection. His eyes lowered to the ground, what was going on at the Akatsuki now? Did any one miss him, no, he couldn't believe that question had come to his mind; no one ever missed me, why should anyone start now?

Kakuzu showed no emotion when he showed Hidan's letter to Pein, the orange haired man said nothing but cocked an eyebrow. "What's going on, un?" Deidara asked, looking in through the door, "Hidan left." Kakuzu said coldly, trying his best to let his voice not crack on the last word. "Interesting…" Pein muttered his eyes leaving the note to look at Kakuzu, "As fun as it sounds to lose another member, Kakuzu, you're going after him, after all, you're useless without a partner." Kakuzu cringed when Pein spoke, why was this stupid ass always so indifferent, Kakuzu then had a thought of what Pein would say if his friend died: 'Oh, but the way, your best friend died' 'Oh… that's nice.'

Two wind chimes were blown up by the wind; Hidan could remember how he used to always try attacking them at first with his friends and then by himself. A sudden desire to attack them started to over power the silver haired man. "Maybe…" He muttered to himself, looking at a beggar attacking a person who didn't give her any money, "Suta never changed, I doubted she ever would back then and I was fucking right." He muttered, shoving his hands into his pockets, "Ah! Aoi!" She yelled, Hidan's eyes widened, Aoi? AOI?! What-the-fuck?! Hidan's face became black as Suta ran over to him, holding up her tin can, "Money?"

Kakuzu stood by his door, he wasn't really going to go out and try kill the only thing he'd ever cared about, right? A brief image of a small dog barking and licking his hand came to mind, "Been a while since I last thought of Mei, why now?" He muttered, remembering his child hood companion, a child hood companion that had a rather nasty end…

"Well, I'm off! See you later!" Hidan waved his hand over his head at his mother; she nodded her head, "See you." "C'mon Mei!" Kakuzu called his dog, she ran after her owner obediently. "Why look, the little freak boy has a friend…" A girl from his class said, the next thing Kakuzu knew, Mei was in that girl's hand, a kunai in her other. "What'll you say if I… Did this?" She asked, a twisted grin on her face as she forced the kunai threw Mei's back; the dog whimpered in pain, "Stop it!" Kakuzu yelled, "No." The girl said, driving the kunai in further. Kakuzu didn't know what he was doing, his rage and sadness took control of his body fully, the next thing he knew, that girl was lying on the floor chocking on her own blood and an almost dead Mei in his arms. "You're not dying on me!" Kakuzu yelled, tears in his eyes, why had this happened, why?!

Hidan lowered his eyes as he started to walk, this wasn't his village, rather a place he'd become used to when he was a child, he cringed as he walked past his old school, a school that had betrayed him more than anything in the world, a school where they cared about nothing except grades. He shook his head, he wasn't about to let those images take control of his mind, but he knew in the end, they would.

"I'd suggest you fucking bend over unless you want me to kill you!" The principal hissed, grabbing Hidan's hair and tugging him back violently "Stop it!" He screamed, trying to get away from the person he was supposed to trust, "I'm not going to fucking stop it." The teacher hissed, licking Hidan's cheek, "No!" Hidan turned his head around, trying to get away, if only for a second, but as it was with his father, nothing would work.

Hidan tugged his coat from his chair, he needed to get out of there, and fast, before the principal came for him again, "Hidan!" Shit! It was too late already…
