Silver hair shimmered in the daylight. A little albino hand, clinging to a much larger darker hand. Holding tightly to each other, the two figures smiled. The smaller one let out a laughed.
"Hidan." Kakuzu spoke up after a rather long silence. Ever since Kakuzu had found Hidan, his life just got a whole lot brighter.
"Yeah?" Hidan had to increase his pace to keep up with Kakuzu.
"How about we head for home. We have been traveling for a few months now. I think its time for a break." Stopping, he kneeled down and gathered Hidan into his arms. He notice the child frowning.
"You're going to get rid of me aren't you?" The little Jashinist whimpered, tears filling his eyes.
"What? No, No, Hidan I would never." Kakuzu stroked Hidan's head. Little whimpers came out of the Jashinist.
"Really?" Hidan rubbed his eyes with his tiny hands, sniffling.
"Yeah, really." Gently pulling Hidan close, Kakuzu hugged him. Hidan closed his eyes, snuggling into Kakuzu's shoulder. The stitched man couldn't help but smile.
"C'mon Hidan, lets keep moving." Kakuzu walked on. Hidan, staying in Kakuzu's arms. Lightly blinking his eyes tiredly.
Three days had passed. Kakuzu finally made it back to the Akatsuki base with Hidan walking besides him. The toddler trudged alone tiredly, knowing better then to complain about it.
"Pein! I'm back." Kakuzu shouted.
"Welcome back Kakuzu." A Voice boomed in the darkness of the large room. Hidan was startled by the sudden voice. Hiding behind Kakuzu, gripping his cloak. A hand gently came down and patted Hidan on the head to ease him. Hidan gripped Kakuzu's hand tightly.
"Kakuzu, what is…that." A dark figure emerged from the shadows. A Rather tall, slim, orange spiky haired man with piercing stepped in front of him.
His swirly eyes, glaring down at the child, pricing him with his stair.
"This?" Kakuzu looked down at Hidan, who was giving him sad frightened eyes. "Well, this is Hidan. I sort of…found him." Scratching his head, Kakuzu shrugged.
"Kakuzu, Were not a daycare. Get rid of him!" Pein snapped viciously. Hidan whimpered and gripped Kakuzu's leg. The banker bit his lip.
"But Leader, I can't just toss him into the streets."
"Yes you can, now do it." Pein turned, glaring at the banker.
"I won't do it." Kakuzu picked Hidan up. He knew he was heading right into a storm, fighting with the leader.
"Kakuzu." Gliding over to Kakuzu, Pein stared him down. "You're getting soft Kakuzu! What the hell happened to my Number one S-ranked Killing machine!" Pein glared at Hidan, who only looked away, burying his face into Kakuzu's chest.
"I can still do my job and take care of him." Bitterly, the banker glared right back at him. Pein was silent for a wile till a smirk cracked on his face.
"Fine, you can keep him. But you have to take care of him by yourself. No help from anybody."
"I can do that, I have been doing that for the past 5 months." Rolling his shimmering green eyes, Kakuzu sighed.
"Good, then I want you to take him to a Physician. He looks a little on the gaunt side." Pein poked Hidan in the gut, making the child whimper into Kakuzu's shoulder.
"Why do I have to take him to a physician, I am one?"
"Because, since you are so attached to him, I'm assuming you wouldn't do anything to hurt him like a normal doctor would do. Like…shots." Pein gave Kakuzu a deadly smile.
"Well, I wouldn't force him into something he doesn't want." Kakuzu rubbed Hidan's back.
"Well guess what, you're going to be practicing tough love. Go tomorrow morning, and if he isn't vaccinated and checked out healthy, I'll get rid of him myself. We don't need a worthless brat slowing us down." With that Pein left the room with a bad aura. Kakuzu knew Pein reproached the idea of keeping Hidan.
Kakuzu took Hidan into his room, setting him on his bed wile he went into the bathroom to wash up.
Hidan's curiosity got the best of him. Climbing off the bed, he toddled around the room. Exploring every corner with great interest. After a couple of minutes, Hidan stopped to play with a random pair of shoes he found under Kakuzu's desk.
Kakuzu came out of the bathroom, steam swirling around him. Enveloping his body from all corners. A towel over his head as he dried his hair.
"Come Hidan, time for bed." Kakuzu ordered. He could see Hidan make a face of protest, but he listened. Going to the edge of the bed Hidan tried to jump up. Not realizing the bed was to high. Kakuzu came over and lifted him onto the bed. Hidan squirmed his way under the covers, plopping his head down on the father fluffy pillow. Before Kakuzu could say good night, Hidan was out like a light.
Early the next morning, Kakuzu was dressed and ready to take Hidan for his exam. But was Hidan ready?
"Hidan, wake up." Kakuzu gently shook him. A soft mumble escaped Hidan's lips. Groggily, He pulled the pillow over his head. Kakuzu mumbled things to himself and shook Hidan harder. "Hidan get up, we have to go." The stitched man said with a little more force in his voice. The child opened his eyes, yawning. He sat up and stretched.
"C'mon Hidan." Kakuzu pulled him off the bed, into the bathroom to dress him. Once he was done he took Hidan by the hand and led him out of the base to the doctors office.
The waiting room smelled horrible. The smell of Anesthetics, band-aids, and old people was driving Kakuzu insane as he sat in a chair. Hidan wasn't faced by it at all. His child mind caused him to wander over to a strange toy with beads on it. Mesmerized by it, Hidan played with it for a wile, Kakuzu watching him like a hawk.
"Hidan?" A Nurse called from a door.
"That's us Hidan." Kakuzu picked Hidan up, following the nurse down the hall. Hidan blinked, starting to get attacked by anxiety. What was this place? Why was Kakuzu taking him here?
"Please undress him and set him and hold him wile I take his temperature." The nurse gave Kakuzu a gentile smile. Kakuzu nodded. Setting Hidan down on the exam table, he pulled off Hidan's clothes, but he left his underwear on.
Hidan shivered a bit, but became distracted when he started to play with his toes. The nurse giggled.
"He's so cute. And…what beautiful eyes he has." She smiled at the child as she shuffled through a drawer and pulled out a thermometer. Kakuzu lifted Hidan into his arms as the nurse came over. She pulled down his underwear a little and pushed the thermometer into Hidan's rear. Kakuzu felt the child tense, not liking that feeling at all. Kakuzu tried to make him relax a bit, rubbing his back to help. It only took a few seconds before the nurse pulled away.
"Temperature is normal." She smiled and took Hidan from Kakuzu. Weighing him, checking blood pressure, and pulse. All normal.
"The doctor will be in in a few minutes." With that, the nurse left them in there room.
"Hidan?" Kakuzu set him down on the table. "You okay?" He asked. Hidan just nodded slowly, not really sure if he was alright. This was a whole new experience for him. "You're such a good boy." ruffling his hair, Kakuzu smiled at him. Hidan smiled back at Kakuzu.
A good twenty minutes passed before the doctor came in. He was tall, short brown hair, and a killer smile.
"Well, How we doing today?" He asked Hidan. Hidan said nothing, just stared at him. "No need to be shy." The doctor poked and prodded Hidan. Feeling his neck, shoulders, chest, and stomach. Squirming uncomfortably, Hidan made a soft whine. "All feels normal, so, Umm Kakuzu." The doctor looked at the banker. "You said you needed him vaccinated?"
"Yeah." Kakuzu tried to sound like he wanted this for Hidan.
"Lets see…" The doctor looked at Hidan's chart. "You want a Flu, Chickenpox, and tetanus shot?" The doctor looked at Kakuzu for approval. Kakuzu nodded. "Alright. Lets get started." The doctor went through a drawer and pulled out three needles. Filling them each with the vaccines.
Grabbing Hidan's arm, the doctor pushed the first needle into Hidan's shoulder. Hidan instantly pulled away and bit the doctor's hand. Kakuzu pulled Hidan off and scolded him till he noticed the tears in Hidan's eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know he would do that." Kakuzu apologized to the doctor.
"Oh don't worry about it, you'd be surprised how many times that happens." He went over to Hidan again to try again. Hidan growled at him.
"I don't think he's going to let you." Kakuzu noted.
"I see, I guess we can try it the old fashion way. Hold him tight up against you, don't let go." The doctor said. Kakuzu increased his grip on Hidan. The child was forced up against Kakuzu. The doctor came at him again. Pulling down his underwear, exposing his flesh backside. Hidan's eyes widened, anxiety building as he squirmed. The doctor took a small disinfectant, rubbing it on Hidan's soft bum and then pressing his finger against the spot, readying himself. He poked the needle in fast. Kakuzu felt Hidan flinch at the prick. In a matter of second, Hidan was screaming and sobbing into Kakuzu's shoulder. Kakuzu's hearts sank, hating that horrible sobbing sound that came out of Hidan.
The doctor injected the first, then poked the second needle in and injected.
"Okay last one." The doctor said over Hidan's constant screaming. With one last good poke to the rear, Hidan was uncontrollably wailing. Kakuzu was rubbing his back, trying to calm him as the doctor finished up. Once the needle was out the doctor rubbed the injection point to sooth its painful sting.
"Okay, He's going to be soar for a wile." He told Kakuzu before he left the office.
Kakuzu walked down the hall, Hidan still sobbing into his shoulder. Kakuzu nuzzled him, trying to ease his pain. But like any normal toddler after a vaccination, Hidan passed out from exhaustion by the time Kakuzu retched the door to exit the doctor's office. Hidan was still hiccupping soft sobs in his sleep, but he was relaxed.
"How did it go?" Pein asked as he saw Kakuzu enter the base. The banker, glared at Pein with a fiery hatred.
"Hidan didn't like being vaccinated."
"I'm sure, who does like it." Pein stifled a chuckle.
"You're a fucking ass." Kakuzu growled and took his child into his room, setting him down on the bed to sleep.
A soft knock came on the door. "Kakuzu?" A soft voice came.
"Yeah." Bitterly Kakuzu said as he sat down next to the bed and stroked Hidan's hair.
"Its Konan." Konan came into the room, walking over to Kakuzu. "Pein told me about you're little friend." She looked right at Hidan.
"If you want me to get rid of him to, I'm not going to." Kakuzu was in no mood to talk, his temper was rising quickly.
"I'm not here to tell you to get rid of him. I'm actually surprised that you of all people would take in a child off the street."
"I have a heart." Crossing his arms, Kakuzu leaned back in his chair.
"I know you do Kakuzu, and that was mighty sweet of you." Konan kissed him on the stitched cheek. Kakuzu just sighed.
"Hidan freaked out at the doctors." Kakuzu frowned.
"Kakuzu, don't let it bother you to much, All kids scream and cry when they get shots. He'll be fine." Konan patted him on the shoulder before she left.
Hidan awoke a couple of hours later. Moaning softly as he reached down and rubbed his soar backside. Blinking his tired groggy eyes, Hidan looked around for Kakuzu. Spotting him sitting at His desk working.
"K-Kuzu.." Hidan tried to say, his throat dry and raspy. Kakuzu looked over his shoulder.
"Oh Hidan, you're awake." Kakuzu came over and sat next to Hidan.
"W-water p-please…"
"Alright." Kakuzu went and got him a glass of water. Watching Hidan suck it down to the very last drop.
"You feeling okay?" Kakuzu asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
"My ass hurts." Hidan whimpered.
"Its going to for a wile." Kakuzu wrapped an arm around Hidan, pulling him close. Hidan leaned into Kakuzu, loving it when he did that.
"You hungry?" Kakuzu stroked Hidan's hair.
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
Hidan sniffled softly.
"Okay, then lets give you a bath. You're all dirty." Kakuzu picked him up, taking him into the bathroom. He stood him up on the counter and pulled off all his clothes.
Hidan shivered, watching Kakuzu start a bath. Once the water was warm and full in the tub, Kakuzu slowly lowered Hidan into it.
A Happy sigh came out of Hidan. The arm water enveloping him from all sides, relaxing his soar throbbing muscles.
"This should help make you feel a little better." Kakuzu said as he shampooed Hidan's hair. Hidan really wasn't listening, he was rather enjoying Kakuzu scrubbing him. Like a gentle massage. Kakuzu smiled, he could swear Hidan was purring.
After rinsing and conditioning, Kakuzu let Hidan play in the tub for a wile.
As Kakuzu waited, he went to work on some overdue paperwork. He was due for a meeting with some banker friends of his.
"Kuzu I'm done!!" Hidan shouted from the bathroom. It had been a good half an hour since Kakuzu left him in there.
Kakuzu got up from his work, going into the bathroom and pulling a wrinkly child from the water. Ruffling him with a towel.
"Get into you're pajamas, then its off to bed for you." Kakuzu said before returning to his work.
Hidan tottered over and got dressed. Struggling to climb into the bed. He slithered his way under the covered and closed his eyes.
It was the middle of the night before Kakuzu decided to call it a night. Walking over to the bed, he pulled the covers down. Seeing Hidan sleeping, sucking on his thumb as he slept. The baker couldn't help but make a small smile. Stroking the silver hair with care he laid down. Pulling the child close to him and the covers over them.
The next morning, Kakuzu woke Hidan up early. "C'mon Hidan, get up, I have work to do." Kakuzu had to go see his banker friends. Kakuzu picked a groaning Hidan out of bed. The child whined in protest to the intrusion to his dream. Hid rear was still soar and he was crabby.
"Nooo…I don't want to go." he huffed.
"To bad Hidan, I have things I need to get done. Now go get dressed and go see Konan. She has breakfast ready for you." Kakuzu set Hidan on the ground, gently scooting him along.
"Fine." He mumble bitterly. Hidan tottered down the hall into the kitchen.
Konan was waiting for him with a plate of pancakes.
"Morning Hidan sweetie." Konan chimed happily.
"Morning…" The Jashinist yawned. Konan picked him up, setting him down in a chair. "Eat up." Konan cooed to him before she went back to cooking.
Hidan started to munch down on the pancakes, he smiled at the yummy taste. "Mmm These taste good Konan." He munched more happily.
"Thanks honey, Here, have something to drink." Konan pored him a huge class of lemonade. Hidan pulled it close and tipped the glass to sip at it. It took him a wile to chugged it all but when he was down he let out a satisfied sigh. When he was done he gave Konan his bear plate, hopping down the hall back to Kakuzu's room. He got dressed and waited for Kakuzu..
Hours passed, Kakuzu and Hidan had started there trip. It was long and tiring. Hidan was lagging behind a bit. The banker stopped and haled Hidan onto his back.
"You're to damn slow." Kakuzu shook his head as he walked.
"I can be tired if I want to. We just walked 18 miles without stopping. And my butt still hurts." Hidan squirmed and wined.
"Stop wining, you have to deal with it if you want to become stronger." Kakuzu kept walking.
"I know." The child set his head down on Kakuzu's shoulder. He sighed and just stared out into the world.
Night fell upon them. Kakuzu trudged his way down the trail. Hidan was silently sleeping on his back. Little fist gripping the cloak. Kakuzu bit if he let him go Hidan would hand from him. Snow drizzled down on them like a light frosting. But As Kakuzu got further and further, the snow became a heavy storm. He was relived to see a small inn up ahead. Getting a room.
He set Hidan on the bed. Brushing some snow off him before he went to take a shower. He came out a few minutes later, getting dressed and laying next to the child. Stroking that soft silky hair with a loving passion. Hidan let out a soft moan, snuggling up against Kakuzu and instantly latching onto him.
Of coarse Kakuzu hated it, but it kept the kid quiet. So he let it slide…sometimes.
In the morning Kakuzu took Hidan away, still sleeping to see his banker friends. It was sunny out, but it was still lightly snowing. Hidan awoke, shivering a bit.
"Kuzu…" Yawning wide Hidan cuddled his head into Kakuzu's shoulder.
"Im here Hidan." Kakuzu glanced over his shoulder to look at his child. Hidan was fast asleep again. Kakuzu smiled.
Once Kakuzu reached the building he was meeting his banker friends he woke Hidan and set him on the ground. He then walked in with Hidan close to his side.
"AH Kakuzu! Haven't seen you in a ages!" A tall man with black hair said, he look slightly younger then Kakuzu. They shook hands and started talking. Soon more of them came in and greeted. Hidan was introduced to them all, but wanted no part of it. He hid behind Kakuzu shyly. Kakuzu patted him on the head and sat down to talk. Hidan, like a good little obedient puppy stayed standing there, waiting.
Hours and hours passed before Hidan's legs pressed together. He tugged on Kakuzu's clock.
"K-Kuzu…I have to pee!" Hidan whispered to him. Kakuzu leaned down to him.
"Just hold it." Kakuzu went back to talking.
"But Kuzu! I c-cant! I-I really need…to go!!" Hidan wined and pilled at the bankers cloak with more force. Kakuzu just brushed him off.
Hidan's hands turned into little fist. He rocked back and forth, trying to keep himself contained. Biting and chewing his lip.
Hidan's eyes tears up. Warm liquid dripped down his legs before it turned into a heavy stream. Creating a puddle under is feet.
Kakuzu's friends all stared at Hidan. Kakuzu fixed his sight into Hidan too, narrowing his eyes.
Hidan started shaking struggling not to cry. His face showed his effort, eyes filling to the brim, cheeks beat red. In a matter of second, Hidan was heaving sobs.
Kakuzu instantly got up and pulled him out of his puddle.
"Hidan…" Kakuzu said sternly.
"I-I-I'm S-s-sorry!!" He choked on his sobs. "I-I c-couldn't…I-I-I couldn't" He broke down hysterically.
"AHA Kakuzu! What the hell." His friends broke into a frenzy of laughter. Pointing and laughing right at Hidan. Hidan just tilted his head back and screamed his sobs. Kakuzu's temper was starting to get the best of him.
"Hidan! Stop fucking crying!" Kakuzu shouted. Grabbing Hidan's shoulders and shaking him. Hidan struggled and screamed. Kakuzu backhanded him across the cheek.
"Shut up Hidan!" Kakuzu was getting ready to punch the child.
"Kakuzu's such a mommy!" His friends hooted and hollered with laughter. Kakuzu shook with anger. Hidan was embarrassing him.
"That's it!" Kakuzu gripped Hidan's wrist and dragged him out of the building. He waved goodbye to his palls then yanked Hidan behind him.
"A-ah K-Kuzu stop…Y-your hurting m-me." Hidan's arm shivered.
"That's to fucking bad!" Kakuzu shouted through the now heavily snowing air.
"Stop Kakuzu!!" Hidan sobbed and bit his hand. Kakuzu yelped and punched him square in the face. Not realizing how much force he put into it. He sent the child soaring through a tree.
Kakuzu walked over to him. Blood spattered the snow as Hidan struggled to get onto his hands and knees. Looking up at Kakuzu with his hypnotizing pink eyes.
"K-kuz-u…" Tears streamed down the albino's cheeks.
"Don't you Fucking "Kuzu" me you little pest! I should have never ever taken you in! You're nothing but a pain in the ass! No wonder nobody wanted you!!" Kakuzu backhanded Hidan again. Blood spattering his hand.
"T-take it b-back…" Hidan wheezed.
"Never! I mean it all!!" Kakuzu kicked him in the side.
"Kuzu…take it b-back…please…" Hidan huffed, blood poring out his nose and mouth.
"I don't want to see you're face ever again! You here me you shit!" Kakuzu picked Hidan up, slamming him back into the snowy ground. "Little Fucker." Kakuzu mumbled before walking off.
Hidan grabbed the bottom of Kakuzu's cloak. Kakuzu looked back at the beaten child.
"Don't leave m-me…" Hidan's voice was hoarse.
"Fuck off." Kakuzu yanked his cloak from the child's bloody shaking hand.
"Don't leave me Kakuzu!!!" Hidan shouted to him. But Kakuzu just kept walking.
"KAKUZU!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" Hidan screamed into the frozen air, tears poring out his eyes. His arms buckled and his fell flat into the snow.
"Please……" Hidan's eyes grew gray as he watched Kakuzu walk and walk, soon, nothing but a snowy background.
"Please…"
Kakuzu slammed the door to the base, startling everyone. He stormed down the hall, entering his room, slamming the door yet again. Threatening to rip it right of the hinges.
Konan watch Kakuzu storm by her. She went up to his door and knocked.
"Kakuzu…" She opened the door. She walked over to The miser who was sitting in his chair, head down on his desk.
"Konan…." Kakuzu mumbled softly.
"Kakuzu, where's Hidan?" She shouldn't have asked, she already knew. A look of pity on her face as she saw Kakuzu had tears welling up in his eyes. Kakuzu never cries…never.
"Konan, I'm such a horrible person." He shook his head, turning away from her, embarrassed to let anymore see him cry. "I'm Such a horrible person." Kakuzu swallowed hard.
"No Kakuzu." Konan kneeled down and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Konan, I beat him, I wouldn't even beat a dog the way I hurt him." Kakuzu shook his head, putting his hands to his face. Tears streamed through this fingers. "I left him out in the snow, even after he begged, he begged me not to leave. He's only a kid. He's only 5. How heartless am I." Kakuzu desperately struggled with himself. A Knot forming in his throat. His heart twisting like doe. "I don't deserve to be called a person, I'm nothing but a monster." He finally broke. Sobbing into his hands. Konan was about to cry with him. Hugging him tight wile she rubbed his back.
"I have to go find him." Kakuzu stood up, wiping the tears out of his eyes quickly, getting serious.
"You can't, not until the storm passes." Konan pulled the drapes from Kakuzu's window, a horrible blizzard was upon them.
"shit." Kakuzu shook his head.
Hours and Hours passed till the storm lifted enough for Kakuzu to bolt out and look for Hidan.
Kakuzu looked for hours and hours with no luck. He finally fell to his knees.
"HIDAAAAAAAAAAN!!!" Kakuzu screamed, slamming his fist into the snow. "Where are you!!!" He shivered with defeat and was about to break down when he saw something sticking out of the snow. Crawling over he pulled it. A small Jashin pendant. Instantly Kakuzu started digging. Ignoring the fact that his hands where freezing, ignoring the fact he was crying again, ignoring the fact he was now rocking a half frozen child in his arms.
Hidan's eyes where closed, lips blue. Frozen blood on his face and arms. His body like ice. Kakuzu held him against him tightly, sobbing into Hidan's frozen shoulder. He could feel the cold through his clothes.
"Hidan! God Please Hidan forgive me!" Kakuzu pleaded. His green eyes never looks so pleading in his whole life.
Standing on shaky legs Kakuzu trudged though the snow. Holding that child tight, close, and safely against him.
The door to the base blew open, sending a whirlwind of snow into the base. Konan and the others stood there. Watching Kakuzu come in, Hidan being cradled in his arms.
"Konan…" Kakuzu choked on his words.
Konan rushed over Taking Hidan from Kakuzu. She hesitated, Hidan was frozen to the bone. She shook her head and rushed to the infirmary. Setting Hidan onto the bed and starting treatment. Putting heat laps over him, covering him with blankets. She also started him on an IV. Rubbing his chest to help the blood flow.
"C'mon Hidan, hang in there." She whispered. "Hang in there for Kakuzu's sake."
Hours passed before Konan came out and walked over to Kakuzu. Sitting next to him.
"His breathing is stable, but…." She stopped.
"What Konan, what's wrong with him." Kakuzu looked at her, his eyes filled with pain.
"He has Pneumonia Kakuzu." Konan shook her head. "he might not survive the night Kakuzu. Its so bad, I can't do anything." Konan stood up. "You can go see him if you'd like.
Kakuzu's eyes widened.
"Shit…what have I done." Kakuzu inhaled deeply, eyes brimming with tears as he walked through the doors.
A bed was pushed up against the wall. A heart monitor sung it lulling beeping rhythm. Kakuzu pulled a chair over and sat down. Taking Hidan's tinny hand into his own. Stroking it with his other. Hidan's little fingers where ice cold.
"H-Hidan, I don't know if you can here me…but…I'm sorry for everything I said. I didn't mean it. I was just…" Kakuzu stopped, rubbing tears out of his eyes. "I don't blame you if you hate me, you should hate me…I don't deserve such a gift as you to care for." Kakuzu squeezed the little hand. "Just please…please Hidan. Hang on." Kakuzu rested his head down on the bed. Still holding onto the little hand before he fell asleep.
Hours pasted before Kakuzu finally awoke to a sudden movement. Looking up tiredly his eyes widened.
"H-Hidan?" Kakuzu sat up.
Hidan was looking right at Kakuzu, eyes half open. His pink eyes still a dull gray.
"Oh God Hidan your awake!" Kakuzu pulled him into his lap. Hidan blinked, some color returning to his eyes.
"K-Kuzu…" Hidan's voice was scratchy.
"Yes Hidan, my child." Kakuzu rocked him.
"I'm cold." Hidan's body convulsed gently. He coughed and wheezed.
"I know Hidan." Kakuzu set him back in the bed then got into it with him. Hidan struggled to climb onto Kakuzu's chest. Laying on his belly as he rested his head on his chest. It was so warm there.
Kakuzu pulled the covers over them, then rubbed Hidan's back to generate a little more heat. Before he knew it, they where both passed out.
When Kakuzu woke, there where to mugs filled with Hot coco in them. He looked at Hidan, who seemed a hell of a lot better then he was a long wile ago. He sat up, letting Hidan awake and look p at him. The color in his face and eyes was returning.
"You Okay…Hidan." Kakuzu asked, stroking his head.
"Yeah, now that you're here to keep me warm." Hidan snuggled against him and closed his eyes. Kakuzu smiled as he sipped the coco.
"I'll always keep you warm."
