Ha ha! This one's longer! Much longer! Isn't that awesome:D Well uh...hope you enjoy it...I do appreciate those who reviewed. Hope you enjoy my warped version of how Hidan and Kakuzu spend their vacation!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"WHAT?!" Hidan yelled loudly, his voice slightly echoing and causing a few people to glance over.

Kakuzu glared at him, slapping a hand over his mouth. "I said we're married Hidan. Well...at least pretending to be." At this the stitched man removed his hand, staring at his partner silently.

Hidan frowned and narrowed his eyes. "Why the fuck are we married?" he whispered harshly. When his partner remained silent, a sudden thought hit him. "No wait, lemme guess...Couples get a discount?"

"Close Hidan. Honeymooners get a discount."

Hidan turned pale. "Honeymooners?"

Kakuzu nodded. "Yes, Honeymooners get to stay free."

"F-free?!" He almost yelled, but decided to drop his voice at the last moment. "This has got to be the stupidest idea I've ever heard! How will we pull a couple off Kakuzu?! How?! AND WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I DO THIS?!"

Kakuzu glares at him again and went to put a hand over his mouth, but Hidan slapped it defiantly away, glaring at him. Kakuzu was slightly taken aback by the sudden act of violence, ignoring the rush of adrenaline the split second of contact gave him.

"Because Hidan...this place has hot springs..."

"Hot springs?" His face calmed slowly.

"...an all you can eat buffet..."

Hidan licked his lips, feeling the pangs of hunger come over him suddenly, "B-Buffet?"

"..And of course, that precious air conditioning you've been bitching about." Kakuzu replied, a smirk gracing his features. He knew this battle had been won, the look of mental debating on Hidan's face practically screamed it. After a long silence he saw his partner sigh before staring him into the eyes.

"...FINE!! What do I gotta do?" Hidan pouted, folding his arms like a spoiled child being scolded at.

"It's quite simple really...though for someone with such a simple mind as you it'll probably be hard..."

"FUCK YOU!" Hidan cried loudly, his hands fisted as his sides as he stomped his foot.

Now Hidan really looked like a spoiled child. This amused the hell out of Kakuzu.

He continued on as if Hidan hadn't uttered a word, "All we have to do is act like a couple of newlyweds..simple enough when you think about it."

"And what does that, may I ask, include?" Hidan said, folding his arms across his chest again.

"For one, we can't fight as much..this means if I accidentally insult you, or if you do to me..we have to let it go." Kakuzu said, biting the inside of his cheek as he said this. Hidan stared at him for a moment before 'Hmph'ing and nodding silently.

"And..." Kakuzu bit his cheek harder, fighting to say the next words, "we have to...touch each other..."

Hidan's eyes widened a look of disgust swimming across his features. "Touch?! You mean like...kiss you or something?! Cause I sure as hell ain't fucking you. Seriously."

Kakuzu let out a sigh, copying Hidan's actions by folding his arms across his chest as well.

"No..I don't think we have to be that drastic...though if it gets desperate enough, I will not hesitate to do that." Hidan let out a small noise of revulsion at this, but Kakuzu ignored it. "But I believe all we're expected of doing is being close together..as in, me holding your hand, or putting my arm around your waist."

Hidan stared at him silently, for once, and ran a hand through his slicked hair as he sighed heavily. "Fine...I guess we can hold hands..." He said, slowly bringing his hand up in front of Kakuzu. Kakuzu stared at it, then turned around without another word and began walking off.

The twisted monk let out a loud huff and was about to chew him out for ignoring him when he felt a warm hand incase his, gently pulling him along. Hidan stared at the hand as he followed behind Kakuzu almost mechanically.

He had expected his hand to feel horribly rough, or-or scaly, or fuck, he didn't know! Like cloth or something! But instead it felt like warm, soft, silk against his own. Kakuzu's hands were strong, and gripped him tightly, with the calluses on the tips of his fingers gently rubbing against the back of his hand. It..kinda showed that he worked with his hands, even if all the bastard did was sew. He smirked at this, glancing up at the back of Kakuzu's head.

Kakuzu continued to grip the young man's hand as he led them to the inn's entrance where the woman said she would wait inside. He gently squeezed Hidan's hand again, slightly uneasy with this whole situation. But..the reassuring feel of Hidan's hand squeezing back, whether it was payback for squeezing his hand or in an act of support, calmed him down slowly, before he walked inside.

Hidan let out a loud sigh of pleasure as he felt the cold air blowing against his skin, his body screaming a thousand 'thank you's!'. He watched as Kakuzu stared back at him, a delicate eyebrow raised.

"What? I can't enjoy some fucking air-conditioning?!" He said, his eyebrows knitted together. Kakuzu merely smirked, turning himself back around as he stood in front of the desk, still holding the man's hand silently. After he had grabbed Hidan's hand, he had expected the horrible feeling of calluses and sweat to graze against his tanned skin. Instead...he got hands that were almost as smooth as his, and perfectly free of sweat. They were sporting no calluses whatsoever, despite what he thought, and gripped his hand back gently.

Which surprised Kakuzu most of all.

"Sooo...what are we standing around for?" Hidan asked as he glanced around at the simple paintings of forests and other shit you'd see in a doctor's office as his mind still thanked him for the cool air.

"We're waiting for the woman to come back." He said simply, his posture more relaxed than it had been a few minutes ago.

"Oh." Hidan replied simply as his gaze finally settled on the desk.

"..Did she uh...Did she have to go to fucking china or what?" Hidan said as he grinned at Kakuzu. Kakuzu let out a slight snort that resembled a silent chuckle.

"Probably." At this they both let out silent snickers, which for Hidan broke into loud laughter before the main doors were slammed open and they both shut up immediately, their faces resuming their usual bored looks.

"Here we are!" She held up a key in front of Kakuzu. The woman then looked at Hidan and burst into a set of giggles, smiling.

"So this is your husband Mr.Kakuzu?" She said, looking Hidan over. Hidan let out a sound of outrage and embarrassment but Kakuzu saved them and replied coolly, "Yes, he is."

The inn keeper smiled, turning around. "Please follow me." Kakuzu nodded politely, then turned around and smacked Hidan across the face. Before he could yell at him for almost giving them away Hidan smacked him across the face. The stitched man blinked for a second, not used to anyone hitting him back. His face stung where Hidan's hand had made contact, causing a flushed look to come over his skin.

"You hit me..." He said dumbly, no other words coming to mind.

"You started it." Was Hidan's childish reply.

"Gentlemen, are you coming?" The woman poked her head back through the doorway, smiling.

"Yes...Sorry.." Kakuzu said as he turned back around, following the woman silently.

The Inn was quite nice. Very nice. It was in usual Japanese style, unlike the other hotels that were adopting the western look nowadays. It had the foyer where the desk was at, then it lead into a busy place full of busy hotel workers bustling back and forth in their kimonos. She led them past all this and down a hallway to a door.

"Here you go gentlemen, this is room 224. If you need me, or there are any complications whatsoever, my name is Machiko-san. Have a nice stay!" She said cheerfully, giggling one last time as she walked by them and headed down the hall.

Kakuzu unlocked the door, sliding it open to a large ornate room with a very large futon near the wall. It was very cozy, Kakuzu thought, and perfect for love-making if one was so inclined. Hidan let go of his hand almost immediately and charged for the bed, pouncing the poor inanimate object without any warning.

"BED!" He said loudly, nuzzling his face into one of the pillows.

"Yes Hidan. And this is door, and that is other door, and what you are holding is called a pillow." Kakuzu said, smirking and closing the door behind him.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP KAKUZU!" Hidan retorted, the loud yell muffled by the pillow. The masked man rolled his eyes at this, walking over and plopping his precious suitcase on a table, hanging up his akatsuki cloak on the nearest coat rack.

"Here." he said, holding out his hands. Hidan blinked for a second, and then took off his cloak, throwing it to Kakuzu as well as his scythe, which the man caught expertly. After putting up both items he watched as his partner continued to nuzzle one of the pillows in a cat-like manner. He decided this was very cute, but chose to ignore it as he walked back over, plopping onto the bed next to Hidan and sighing.

"Man I think I'm gonna take a bath before I eat. What about you?" Hidan said, looking at the man in question.

"I'll probably take a bath as well...perhaps look the buffet over..." Kakuzu said, resting his forehead against his palm.

"Ok then! How about I meet you at the buffet when I'm done?" He patted Kakuzu on the shoulder in a friendly manner, before standing up and stretching slightly, grinning. Kakuzu's body tensed at the contact, but he slowly nodded as he felt Hidan staring at him, waiting for his answer. Hidan grinned as his partner nodded then walked out of the room whistling, grabbing a hotel kimono before he left.

------------------

Hidan sighed happily, nestling himself into the hot spring water.

'This feels so fucking good..' He said to himself, running his hands through his loose, unslicked, hair. The water felt magical against his sore muscles, easing them into relaxation. Well..they were relaxed till they heard a voice come from across the foggy bath.

"Excuse me sir...would you mind passing me an extra towel?" Hidan could barely make out the shape of him, but the voice he heard was warm, rhythmical, and sounded like he needed a fucking towel. What? You were expecting poetry? tch..Sure he read some of Bessie's romance novels... but he was bored, and Kakuzu was busy.

"Uh...sure." He replied as reached behind him and held a dry towel over the water.

"Thank you very much." The voice said, and the man walked closer to Hidan, smiling and holding out his hand. Hidan couldn't really tell with the fog...but what he could make of the man he had very dark eyes..and long maybe silver? white? hair.

He merely grinned as he watched the man put it underwater and proceed to wrap it around his waist. The man looked up at him timidly, smiling again.

"If you do not mind...may I ask your name?" he asked Hidan politely.

Hidan just grinned, "Sure! It's Hidan! Yours?" He said, offering the spot next to him.

"Oh, pardon me." He said, sitting himself next to Hidan but leaving enough space so they weren't intimate.

"It's Yakushi, Yakushi Kabuto."
