A.N: Yay that was quick and this chapter makes me giddy. I tried to make Hidan as in character as I could and from reading his part in the manga I found out he dosn't swear in every single sentence.
Chapter Nineteen: Date With A Vampire
"Okay err show me what you got," Hidan said crossing his arms over his bare chest. Hidan very rarely wore a shirt, the most he put up with was his cloak. He was very well muscled without looking like a football meathead. It was very different from Deidara who has a more wiry frame.
"Jutsus or just melee?" I asked feeling I was talking more about a video game rather then training.
"Lets just duel you can use jutsu if you'd like," he said with a wicked smile. I smiled back slipping a kunai into my hand from the sleeve of my cloak. "May God take pity on your soul."
"Don't be so cocky," I said throwing the kunai at Hidan expecting him to move out of the way, but instead it hit him in the abs. I blinked as blood spilled from around the wound but Hidan just smiled. "Hey are you alright?" I asked and he laughed.
"Oh I'm perfectly fine," he said holding his triple bladed scythe out horizontally "it's you who should be worrying."
I stepped back watching Hidan carefully as he snapped up and charged. That wasn't the most intelligent thing for him to do but I wont hold it against him. He gave me time to do the new wind jutsu. Quickly I brought my hands together. Dragon, Rabbit, Snake.
"Dragon Hurricane jutsu," I said and a gust of wind blasted from my pours. I was so happy that it still worked even in my human form. I smiled seeing Hidan was being knocked off his feet and sent out forty meters away.
"Gah shit what the hell was that?" Hidan cursed
"My art," I stated simply thinking about my roommates.
"The art freaks are getting to your head," Hidan spat looking very annoyed. I smiled putting my hands on my hips.
"I thought you'd be better then that," I said pulling my eyelid down and sticking out my tongue.
"Seriously, that's not funny," he said in mock hurt but I could see the smirk on his face as he got to his feet. "I don't see you trying that little number again," he stated with a chuckle. He lifted his triple blade scythe and disappeared with speed. I couldn't track his movements at all and the only thing that defended me was my kunai that I held out in front of me my eyes looking back and forth.
Then out of nowhere he appeared to my right and I drove the blade into his shoulder but he didn't draw back as expected. Instead he brought down his scythe but I quickly moved out of the way and it only grazed my arm. It felt no worse then a bad paper cut but I could see Hidan's massive grin.
On the longest of the blades there was a tiny drop of blood, which he happily licked off nearly cutting his own tongue. I jumped back away from him with a look of disgust plastered on my face. Hidan cocked a brow at me his mouth curved at one side.
"This fight is over isn't it?" I asked knowing he had something most likely painful up his sleeve.
"You have to tell me that?" Hidan laughed.
I sat on the grass wrapping the wound in my leg while Hidan lied on his back in one of his circles similar to the tile one in his room with a five-foot iron spike jutting out from his chest. I glanced over at him; he looked like he was utterly at bliss in the closeness of his god.
"That is an amazing jutsu you have Hidan-san," I stated bowing my head to him.
"Thank you very much," he said turning his head to me. "I really should have killed you so I'm going to need to pray a lot within the next few days if I'm to stay in Jashin-sama's favor, I'm in big trouble."
"Sorry," I said raising a brow at him. "You really could have killed me, that jutsu is very dangerous."
"You have to tell me that?" he said with a hardy laugh, blood escaping his lips. "You're the only one besides Kakuzu who's ever seen it in action."
"Does that put me on good terms with you," I asked finishing the dressing of my thigh.
"Um no," he said, "you should be dead remember? And I hate Kakuzu." I fell backwards.
"Eh right," I sighed "oh well I tried."
"Well I'm done," he said sitting up leaving the grass stained red. I sat back up ignoring the sharp pain in my leg and eyeing his identical wound. "It's nearly noon too and I'm starving." He got up to his feet pulling the rod out from the depth on his chest. He examined the hole carefully, it had stopped bleeding and was now was just a gory hole that was leaking a clear liquid. I shuddered and looked away from the already infected wound.
"Ugh put your cloak on and I'll come with you," I said carefully getting up. "I'm going to need to get this leg healed," I muttered "can't go fighting tomorrow like this."
"Okay," he said putting his cloak on to hide the nasty hole "I'll walk you to the hospital then we can grab a snack then we'll come back and work on some strategy for the exam."
"Um I'll be fine," I said with a slight blush "you go get something to eat."
"Nah nah," he said and I could hear his French ascent through the language jutsu. "I will walk you to the hospital get your leg fixed and then we'll go eat together okay?" he more ordered then asked his violet eyes cutting into me and his smile just adding to the fact of his handsomeness.
"I err sure Hidan," I said and his smile became a devil grin.
The hospital trip was fast; one of the healer Nins quickly closed the muscle wound and eased its pain. I thanked him quickly before going with Hidan to the sushi place where a few other Akatsuki where hanging and Loren too minus Gaara.
"Hey Loren," I said cheerfully not having seen her for nearly two weeks. Itachi had been training me hard and I'd have had no time to hang with anyone.
"Jenny," she said with an extra big smile as Hidan sat down next to me. We were in one big booth in the back of the restaurant seating Deidara, Tobi, Kisame, Kakuzu, Loren, Hidan and me with room to spare.
"Ah Jen-chan how are you?" Tobi asked in his annoying little voice. Deidara looked like he was going to explode, however I think he would find it as art so I didn't feel to bad for him.
"I'm okay Tobi," I said with a friendly smile "so what's up?"
"Eating," Kisame replied stuffing his face with five rice balls at once.
"I can see that," I blinked watching him inhale his food like…well a shark (or a vacuum cleaner but whatever.) "Where's Konan-ue-san?" I asked seeing that Kisame was alone.
"She left before you got here to go for a walk," Kisame stated between bites of food.
"She is so pretty isn't she Jen-chan?" Loren asked picking at some fish with her chopstick. I nodded picking up a clean pair of chopsticks myself and snapping them apart. I could see that Hidan must have been praying before he ate because his head was bowed and violet eyes were shut.
"So how are you dealing with Hidan?" Kakuzu asked he didn't seem to be eating anything because his mask was on and he was leaning back in his seat.
"He's fine," I said with a smile but Hidan didn't seem to be paying attention. "Why aren't you eating?"
"Saving my money for more important things," he replied.
"How could you not see that one coming un?" Deidara sighed around a ball of maki. I shrugged with a small smile as I picked at the small bowl of rice in front of me.
"Itachi-sempai left too?" I asked Kakuzu when my mouth wasn't full.
"He is still training," the zombie man said "he never stops working."
"Aye that is Itachi-kun," I said thoughtfully.
Loren reached over and poked Hidan in the shoulder. He snapped open an eye giving my friend a glare that would have killed lesser (or smarter) men.
"I was just making sure you were alive," she said making Tobi giggle. Hidan gave another hard glare before closing his eye.
"Your such a pain in the ass Hidan," Kakuzu sighed his eyes glazed with boredom.
"I know I'm a pain," Hidan muttered opening both eyes and getting a pair of chopsticks and snapping then apart. "But I have to pray to Jashin before eating every meal." He started eating one of Kisame's untouched rice balls before looking squarely at Deidara and speaking. "She's really nice," he said randomly making the blond look up a bit of seaweed hanging from his mouth. "You two should go out seriously."
Deidara swallowed down his food and gave Hidan a hard look. "What the hell are you talking about hmm?" I sat silently trying to hide behind my hair while Loren listened intently a smile on her face. I wanted so badly to elbow the silver haired man next to me in the hole that was in the side of his chest but doing that would only give him pleaser.
"She's artsy your artsy you live together it would work nicely," Hidan said as if I wasn't in the room. "Plus I know she likes you!" Loren couldn't take it anymore and she joined Kisame and Tobi with there fit of giggles.
"Wait who? Jen-chan?" Deidara blinked and Hidan nodded. "Well I-"
"Could you guys not act like I'm not here?" I demanded pressing my brows together. The two looked at me Deidara having a red tint to his cheeks and Hidan a cocky half smile. "I mean damn it Hidan you don't have to embarrass me like this."
"I'm just trying to help," Hidan said with a grin. I wanted to slap him so badly but I just glared and went back to my food. Tobi was the only one laughing now but stopped when Deidara gave him a good shove onto the floor. Everyone ignored Tobi's cries.
"Yea? My skinny ass you are," I muttered under my breath stuffing some more fish in my mouth. Deidara was on the other side of the table now just picking at his food awkwardly.
"Your such an ass," I growled clashing my kunai with Hidan's scythe. We both jumped back a few meters away from each other. Hidan smiled at me and licked the sharp part of his blade even if it was clean of any blood; perhaps he just wanted to intimidate me.
I snapped up again charging at him and jumping up for a kick. He used his scythe to block making me jump back doing a back flip before landing on one knee.
"I think we should head back," Hidan stated and I nodded my head. I hid my kunai back in the pocket of my sleeve. Hidan put his cloak back on; I had been surprised that his wound had already healed over with a thick scare in only a few hours. The man was very surprising and I couldn't say I wasn't slightly attracted to him, even if he was a total jerk at times.
We walked back to the temple as the sky began to darken into purple. We stopped in front of my dorm and he turned to me looking uncharacteristically troubled. I raised a brow at him.
"Hey seriously I didn't mean to embarrass you and your boyfriend," he said with a thoughtful smile.
"He's not my-," I paused and smiled "Thanks Hidan-kun see you tomorrow?"
"You have to tell me that?" he asked, "of course I'll see you the exam is tomorrow."
"Oh right my bad," I said putting the key in the keyhole of my door and unlocking it.
"See you around tueur virginal," Hidan he said making a dramatic bow before heading down the hall.
I watched him go and smiled before opening the door and heading inside.
A.N: tueur virginal means killer maiden or killer virgin in French but I like maiden better.
