Chapter 3

Hidan swept through the hideout to his and Kakuzu's side of the complex. Reaching his room, he kicked open the door and gently lay Ara on the bed after removing her weapons. He set them under the bed before reaching up and gently swept across her cheek. Her lips were tinged blue and half of her face was covered in blood, matting her hair to the side of her head.. Lack of blood did that to her, made her lips turn blue. Kakuzu had been right. She had to have been desperate to do this. It left her to vulnerable. Standing, he moved to the bathroom and grabbed a cloth. After wetting it he moved back to her bed side and sat. Kakuzu grabbed his hand stopping any further action.

"What are you doing?" He demanded. Hidan wrenched his hand away.

"Don't touch me damn it."

"You know you can't do that. The blood is beneficial to her."

"I can't fucking leave her like this."

"You are so weak Hidan, you never use common sense. She needs that blood."

"I know damn it!" Kakuzu watched as Hidan bowed his head low. His arms lay limply at his sides as he stood beside the bed. "I know she needs the blood, Jashin knows I do." He looked back at her, the blood stark against her pale face. "At least let me take off the blood on her face. I can't see her like this." Kakuzu stared at his partner as he gazed at Ara. They were good friends. It didn't appear so as much as they argued but since they were first assigned together as a team as genin they had been. He understood his reasoning as well, seeing her like this, even knowing she would be ok, was unnerving. Kakuzu sighed and turned away to take a seat on one of the chairs.

"Just her face Hidan." He said softly. Hidan immediately reseated himself and gently wiped off her face. After finishing he disposed of the cloth and pulled covers over her. A knock at the door caused a deep growl to escape Hidan's lips.

He stomped over to the door and threw it open.

"What the fuck do you want?" He snapped. He gazed down at the face of Konan, their leader's partner and to other's suspicion lover perhaps.

"Don't speak to me that way Hidan. You have made Pein furious bringing that creature so far into the lair. He wishes to speak with you and your partner, immediately." She turned and walked away leaving a fuming but concerned Hidan at the door. He turned to Kakuzu who had already risen from his chair. Hidan grabbed his scythe which Kakuzu had carried for him once he had picked Ara up into his arms.

They excited their sanctuary, closing the door behind them. As they walked down the corridor to the main hall Hidan spoke softly.

"We can't linger for long. It will be sunset soon. I want to be there when she wakes up."

"I know Hidan. It will be safer that way." Kakuzu replied. They turned down one last hall and emerged into a large room. It was the gathering place of the Akatsuki. One reserved for meetings and only for that. Hidan and Kakuzu approached the rest of the members cautiously.

"There are no survivors Leader-sama. At least of the ones we searched. I don't know about the one taken by Hidan and Kakuzu." Sasori announced to their leader. He stood before everyone with a deep furrow on his brow. Glancing up, his eyes pierce into the two new comers.

"Hidan, Kakuzu. You are from the village Hidden in the falls. What could be the meaning of this?" Hidan and Kakuzu glanced at each other. Hidan shrugged and Kakuzu answered for both of them.

"Perhaps it is because of us or perhaps, like other villages they are searching for Akatsuki. I would not be certain of which though."

"It's not us." Hidan said as he thought deeply. "They exiled us and swore as long as we never approached the village again we wouldn't be hunted." He glanced up to find everyone but Kakuzu gawking at him. "What?"

"You just spoke without cussing!" Deidara said in a stunned voice. Hidan blinked.

"Fuck you." He growled. They all blinked at him, seemingly ready to ignore what he had said. Hidan turned his head away. Not wanting to say anything further. His mind wandered back to Ara and his heart clenched. They had to move quickly. If sunset came before they reached her Jashin knew what would happen.

"What of the body?" Kisame asked.

"That's a very good question. What makes you two think you can bring that filth into our lair. Survivors are the only to be brought and even then only for torture and information extraction." Kakuzu stepped in front of Hidan just before he pounced on their leader.

"She's not filth you fucking bastard." He snapped.

"You watch your mouth boy." Pein said angrily.

"Wait, she?" Kisame said confused. "It can't be. That's the last ANBU I brought down. No woman would last that long." Kakuzu fought to hold Hidan back as he struggled to reach the shark man. Kisame stood with a wicked grin on his face. "Well well, you seem very protective of her Hidan. Is she really something that special to you or do you just think she will make a good pet?"

"You bastard, I'll fucking kill you!"

"Hidan stop."

"How the fuck can you just stand there and let him say this about Ara?"

"Because I…." Before he could finish a major wind filled chakra swept through the inner room. Arms went up, shielding eyes from the debris.

"What the hell is that?" Deidara yelled over the wind as he huddled against Sasori's puppet form. Konan pressed herself against Pein as he wrapped his arms around her. Kakuzu and Hidan looked at each other. The sun had set. It had set and they were still in the main room. Both turned but before they could sprint down the hall Zetsu's white half yelled over the wind.

"Where's Tobi?"

"SENPAI!" The group heard Tobi scream from deeper inside the house. Hidan and Kakuzu looked at each other one last time and started sprinting down the hall. Both just hoped they would make it in time.
