Read the Bottom for my notes:D
Oh..and welcome to ch.3! XD;;
-------------------------------------------------
"Kabuto eh?" Hidan grinned, looking the man over. "You know...you look very familiar..."
"I do?" Kabuto blinked, tilting his head to the side.
"Yeah..." Hidan stared at him thoughtfully, before his face lit up, "Do you owe me money?!" He said excitedly, leaning closer to the med-nin.
Kabuto backed up a tad, his eyebrow raised, "Erm...no." He answered, a slow smile spreading across his face. Hidan's face fell as he let out a loud sigh.
"Damn..." He said, pouting childishly. Kabuto merely smiled apologetically before gazing at his hands. He frowned slightly at the pruny texture they had taken as he dipped them back into the water.
"Well...I'm going to take my leave...would you care to go with me? I'm heading to the buffet to meet my lover." He smiled, standing up and letting the water drip off of him. Hidan blinked, taken back by the sudden invitation. No one had ever offered Hidan to come with him somewhere. He grinned, hopping up happily.
'Probably because he doesn't know you very well.' Came Kakuzu's nagging voice in his head. Hidan growled mentally. 'Even when the fucker isn't here my mind makes up snappy comebacks for him! God, is my body turning against me or what?!'
"So I take it your coming?" Kabuto said politely, walking out of the bath and stopping at the adjoining locker room door.
"Hell yeah!" Hidan said, standing up and following after him. "I gotta meet my uh..." he went quiet at this, not sure what he should call Kakuzu. Should he go right out and call him his husband?'...Eh..what the hell',"...husband." Hidan said, feeling a strange and very warped version of pride in his belly.
"Husband?" Kabuto blinked, and then continued to smile. "Congratulations! When were you married?"
"Uh...Last week. This is our honeymoon." The monk said, trying his hardest not to snicker at the words issuing from his mouth.
Kabuto patted his back in a congratulatory manner," That's nice Hidan-san. Is it good so far?"
"Oh yeah..it's pretty good. Bumps and turns here and there...you know, the usual." Hidan laughed nervously as he walked into the locker room with Kabuto, heading over to his locker as the man walked to his. Hidan removed the towel around his waist, dropping it and grabbing a dry one. He moved the towel rapidly up and down his arms, drying his body quickly. He dried off his hair much more tenderly, paying careful attention to dry every inch of it as much as he could.
'Damnit..should've brought my gel..' Hidan thought to himself as he brushed his hair with his fingers, causing the bangs he normally kept slipped back to fall in his face. They didn't hide his eyes or anything...but they sure pissed him the fuck off. He grabbed his boxers, slipping them on as well as the hotel kimono.
He turned and walked down the isle, walking towards the entrance where Kabuto was waiting for him with a smile on his face. The young man's hair was tied back, and he was wearing glasses.
"Wow...you look like a nerd!" Hidan said before he could stop himself, a grin spreading over his features.
Kabuto laughed slightly, his brows knitting together in an upward fashion, "Well...thanks I guess." He smiled.
'...Asshole.' Kabuto thought to himself, following the loud man outside.
------------------------------
Kakuzu looked over the buffet thoughtfully, holding two plates as he put what Hidan liked on one, and his personal favorites on the other. He was begrudgingly thankful he had listened to Hidan the day he had prattled on an on about his interests when Kakuzu had asked out of curiosity. He had regretted it though, when ten minutes later his partner was still talking.
A slight smile came to his face at the memory, but he quickly resumed his usual stoical expression. Not that anyone could see with him wearing a mask and all.
'Oh...orange chicken...something that we actually agree that we like.' He reached for it, frowning when his hand collided with another, much paler one. He followed the arm upwards, a feeling of dread filling him as he made out a familiar purple kimono, before finally reaching the trademark white face and gold snake-like eyes.
"Hmph. Orochimaru." Kakuzu said bitterly, slapping the man's hand away rudely. The man then took a generous portion of orange chicken and put it on both of the plates he was holding.
"My My Kakuzu..we haven't seen each other all these years, and you are so mean as to slap my hand away from a dish I like? I'm hurt." Orochimaru said, faking sadness in his voice as he took the large spoon from Kakuzu when he was done, putting some on his own plate.
"why should I be nice to a traitor like you?" Kakuzu said, moving downwards to a couple of bean paste buns and plopping them onto Hidan's plate. Orochimaru merely smirked, following him and holding two plates as well.
"Extra hungry today Kakuzu? Or have you an eating disorder?" He said playfully, watching as the man put some teriyaki beef on his plate. Kakuzu looked up and glared at the snake man, before looking down and staring at the two plates the man held as well.
"I could say the same for you." The stitched man replied as he loaded up the plates, walking over to the drink area. He was revolted as Orochimaru joined him at his side, grabbing two cups and smirking.
"Since when do you like American food?" He said, eyeing the pizza that Kakuzu had on one of his plates. Kakuzu glanced at said plate, before glaring at Orochimaru.
"It's for my partner." He replied as he filled up one glass with disgusting soda, the other with his favorite ice tea. Orochimaru observed this, before filling his own two cups as well.
"Oh? what kind of "partner"?" The snake man smirked at him, carrying both cups with one hand and two plates with the other. Kakuzu merely frowned, holding his cups and plates in the same way.
"Not the kind your thinking." Kakuzu walked to a table for four, knowing full well the snake man planned on joining him whether he invited him or not and sat down, setting Hidan's plate next to him as well as his glass of soda. He set his food down, watching as Orochimaru sat across from him, smiling.
"Hmm...so it must be your business partner. But he seems pretty special if you got his food for him...that isn't quite like you.." Orochimaru stared at the plates in silent observation.
"He is...special."
"Well apparently, since he isn't dead yet." Orochimaru smirked, picking up a piece of orange chicken with his chopsticks and putting it in his mouth.
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes again, "Oh that's funny. I wonder though...if I started sucking children's cocks too will I be as humorous?"
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed as well, a wicked smirk settling across his face.
The only alert they had of Hidan's presence was pounding footsteps and loud plop into the chair next to him, and of course the complimentary greeting:
"HEY FUCKER!" Hidan shouted, plopping himself down next to Kakuzu and grinning at him, "Ooooh...You got all my favorites..thank you." He said, grabbing a fork and shoving a mouthful of noodles inside.
Kakuzu had to fight the urge to laugh out loud at the expression of disgust Orochimaru was making when Hidan did this. The snake man looked like he would vomit any second. This expression, to Kakuzu's disappointment, changed suddenly when a silver haired man sat next to him, watching Hidan with a smile.
He squinted his eyes slightly, focusing on the features of this young boy. Wasn't he...?...Couldn't be. "Aren't you Sasori's boy?" He asked.
Kabuto blinked, looking at Kakuzu and smiling. "Why Hello Kakuzu-san, it's been quite awhile."
Kakuzu 'hmph'ed and turned to Hidan, who had stopped eating to look at Orochimaru.
"Hey Kakuzu...whose this guy?" He motioned with his forkful of orange chicken.
"That's Orochimaru." Kakuzu said between bites of his teriyaki beef.
"YOU MEAN THAT FAG THAT LEFT THE ORGANIZATION?!" Hidan said loudly. Orochimaru frowned at him, narrowing his eyes.
Kabuto's smiled faded as well as he stared at the loud monk, "That fag happens to be my lover."
Kakuzu gagged on his beef, nearly spitting it out from beneath his mask. Hidan merely blinked, raising an eyebrow at the med-nin, "...Your just helping me out, seriously."
Kabuto looked surprised and frustrated by this answer. Deciding whether or not he should kill Hidan, or slap the hell out of him.
Before either could happen though, a fifth plate was slammed loudly onto the table, signaling the arrival of yet another guest. The four men turned to look at the new person, wondering who the hell would interrupt them.
Their answer was a glaring 14 year old, who was dressed in a hotel kimono. His black hair and eyes contrasting against the white fabric.
"You could've have waited for me you know." The youth's eyes narrowed.
Hidan and Kakuzu blinked, looking the youth over. Kabuto merely smiled at the boy, and Orochimaru smirked slightly. The pale snake turned to his fellow partners, waving a hand in the teenager's direction.
"This is Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke, this is my fellow colleague Kakuzu, and his partner Hidan." Sasuke glanced at them both as Orochimaru said their names, watching as each of them acknowledged their name by a nod of their head. Sasuke merely smirked.
"Partner?...Usually you just got out and say lover Orochimaru." The boy said, picking up a baby carrot and popping it into his mouth. This was soon followed by simultaneous choking noises by Hidan and Kakuzu, both of them trying to resume eating.
"ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?! HE'S NOT MY LOVER! NOT AT ALL!" Hidan yelled, pointing to Kakuzu and glaring at the Uchiha. Kakuzu's eyes widened slowly, a foreign feeling overcoming him as the word's left Hidan's lips.
'What...is this feeling..?' Kakuzu's brows narrowed, frustration welling up inside of him, 'It sure as hell is not rejection. Probably Horror. Yeah, Horror and Fear. That the owner might find out. That stupid fat squealing woman of an inn-'
"Oh my...lover's quarrel?" A perky voice piped up. This voice drew the attention of the table members, watching as the woman came in view. Machiko-san was pouting slightly, a delicate hand at her cheek as she looked at Hidan. Said monk was blinking stupidly, his finger still pointing at Sasuke in rage. The female inn-keeper looked at Hidan, and then slowly leaned around to stare at Kakuzu.
The man in question was looking at her silently, and nodding his head to the question. Machiko's eyes grew sad at this, a barely audible 'tsk tsk tsk' heard.
"None of that! None of that! He's your husband sweety...You need to forgive him for simple things. It's the big things you can yell at him about." She laughed at her own joke, delighted that Kabuto laughed along with her.
Sasuke glared at the medic holding a fist up to his own mouth and coughing the words 'suck up' before smirking and resting his hand on the table. Kabuto continued to smile at the innkeeper, silently reaching a hand over and pinching Sasuke roughly on the thigh underneath the table. Sasuke let out a loud squeak and glared at Kabuto, his sharingan slowly flowing into his eyes.
Machiko-san paid them no mind, only patting Sasuke's head in a condescending manner and smiling at Kabuto and Orochimaru.
"Take them for example," she motioned to the snake and his toy, smiling," they're been married for seven years. And this is their little boy." She patted Sasuke's head again for emphasis, giggling slightly. Sasuke merely glared up at the woman, desperately wishing his mangekyou sharingan would magically kick in.
"You could learn a lesson from them you know." Machiko-san waved a finger, then walked off in a cheerful manner, wishing Kakuzu and Hidan all the best and that they make up as soon as possible.
Kakuzu merely blinked, looking at the two smirking nins across from him. Hidan had seated himself upon Machiko-san's departure, blinking in a very confused way. The treasurer said nothing for a few moments, just staring at the ninjas and mulling some things over in his head.
'Learn a lesson...' He thought to himself, continuing to stare at them, '...that's it!'
He uttered a loud sigh, resting a hand against his forehead and saying in a voice filled with frustration:
"Orochimaru...I can't believe I'm saying this but...I need you to teach Hidan and I on how to be a couple."
