"What the hell? What was that for?" Deidara yanked Sasori down from his standing position.
"Danna!" Deidara's whisper is harsh. "Did you not see how scared for her life she was and yet he gets her to smile, un! So, tell me what you think, is there not something between them, un?" Sasori sighed and nodded his head in defeat. Rix wasn't the four-year-old little girl he left back in Suna. She was nineteen now and could make her own decisions, be they good or bad.
"How about not fucking hitting me with a book? Do you think you could do that?" Hidan snaps.
"Shut your mouth!" Sasori shouts back. Hidan growled.
"Well, why don't yo-" Hidan stopped from Rix's hand caressing his cheek.
"Shh…don't argue…" Rix smiled at him, shutting him up. Deidara smiled, nobody could ever shut Hidan up like that. The silver haired Jashinist nuzzled into the crook of Rix's neck. "Hidan?" He lifted his head to listen to her. "I've got a secret for you…" Hidan came closer and she screamed like she was dying into his ear. "That was for messing with my hair." Rix smiled and winked at the dizzy Jashinist above her.
Sasori looked over to his lover. "That was something that you would do." Deidara nodded his head vigorously a grin playing across his face.
"Geez, Rix, did you have to do that?" Hidan asked before shaking his head, trying to get the ringing to stop.
"Well, no, not really, but I did anyways." Hidan gave up and just collapsed next to her and hugged her against his body again. Unknown by the four in the room, the other members have decided to visit, they had gotten back from missions and everything seemed to be slacking. Kisame was the first to enter.
"Ne, hey gu-" Kisame spotted Hidan nuzzling into Rix's neck then begin to nip at it. The others walk in, still unnoticed by the four. Sasori and Deidara, cuddling and drifting in and out of sleep in a chair. Hidan and Rix, Hidan whispering to the redhead while leaving his mark on her. Both with their eyes closed, basking in the moment.
"HIDAN! What're you doing?" Hidan jumped at his partners loud and harsh voice, being that he was on the edge of the bed to begin with, he fell.
"Ouch! Mother fucker, son of a bitch that hurt!" Hidan grumbled, while rubbing his bottom and standing.
"Ne, Kakuzu, maybe you shouldn't have stopped him." Kisame lightly elbows the said stitched nin jokingly.
"We didn't mean to interrupt." Itachi ignored his partner's kidding. "We just figured we should visit." The Uchiha speaking for the rest of them.
"Yeah, and was fucking making me fall off of the bed a plan or something?" Hidan asked while climbing back onto the bed and pulling Rix into his arms, the redhead sighing in contentment.
"Well, if you wasn't cuddling with her, then you wouldn't have ended up on the floor." Kakuzu retorted.
"She was scared!" Kakuzu laughed.
"Of what? Death? She's a Jashinist."
"Yes, dammit! Of death, back off!" The argument continues for a while.
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP?" Rix shouted, quieting the two arguing partners. She started to cough again and Hidan quickly bent her down, to keep her from choking. Drops of blood splattered down on the sheets, Rix covered her mouth again, holding the blood in her hands. "Damn!" Rix breathed out as the other members come over to her and Itachi rubbed her back in circles.
The blood was slowly dripping from between her fingers. Itachi slowly lowered her hands from her face and they broke apart, splashing a large amount of blood on the sheets. Sasori had went to get bottled water and something sweet because of the blood loss. Kisame grabbed a towel to catch the blood on and gave it to Rix. She put it up to her mouth and it stopped soon after. She leaned into Hidan again.
"Don't let me die, Hidan, I don't want to die…" Rix began to sob and he comforted her.
Sasori walked back into the room and Itachi glared at him. "I thought you said the poison was weak."
"It is, if it wasn't, she'd be dead by now." Itachi then looked back over to Hidan, glare still in place.
"What does she mean 'die'? She's a Jashinist."
Hidan nodded. "Yes, she can die, if it were me in this fucking position, I could too."
"Hidan, no!" Rix shouted at him clutching the fabric of his cloak in her hands.
"Look at me." Rix shook her head. "Rix, I want you to look at me." She shook her head again. "Rix…" She did finally look up at him and tears glossed her face. "You look like you just ate somebody." Hidan commented as he wiped away her blood and pulled her fully into his lap, rocking side to side slowly.
"I don't want to die, Hidan…" Rix managed to choke out between sobs. Hidan sighed and shook his head.
"Who said that I'd let you die, fucker? Hum?" Rix shook her head and sobbed more into Hidan's grasp.
"I've had enough." Kakuzu stated as he walked away.
"Well screw you too!" Hidan shouted back to him. Itachi and Kisame leave after awhile of chatting and helping with the sheets again. Everyone in the room is almost asleep now, the light being turned off a while ago. Sasori and Deidara took the bed next to Rix's and slept there.
"Hidan?" Rix whispered to see if he was awake.
"Yes?" Rix snuggled closer.
