...a soft breeze...a soft, cool breeze...rolling through the forest...

Kakuzu opened his eyes, to see the tree tops above him sway slowly with the passing breeze.

His whole body ached. He gulped and began to sit up, just to hear a yelp from Hidan, who hasn't moved from Kakuzu's chest since last night.

Kakuzu looked down at him, holding himself up by his elbows. "Whats wrong?" he asked.

Hidan just whimpered. "Ow..." He snuggled closer to Kakuzu and hugged him tight. "Don't move..."

Kakuzu laughed and looked back up at the tree tops and sighed, closing his eyes taking in the moment.

Hidan yawned and stretched, letting his arms fall when he stopped stretching. "Owie..." he whinned, he burried his face in Kakuzu's chest and sighed.

Kakuzu looked back down at him. "You okay?" he asked.

Hidan whinned and mumbled "No..." and stretched his arms and legs far and wrapped his arms around Kakuzu after he did so. He put his cheek on Kakuzu's chest, eyes closed and peaceful "You hurt me..." He said as he smiled.

Kakuzu laughed and layed back down hugging him tight, but not to tight so he wouldn't hurt him.

Kakuzu layed there, with his love in his arms, eyes closed, feeling to cool breeze over his body.

"Hey Hidan"

Hidan opened his eyes in confusion. "what?"

Kakuzu smiled and kissed his head. "I meant what I said last night" and layed his head down and closed his eyes.

Hidan smiled and laughed softly. "I know..." and closed his eyes and snuggled closer to him. "I know you did..."

They layed together, knowing that the other would never leave them and would do anything for the other.

"Kakuzu?"

Kakuzu opened his eyes, to look down and see Hidan resting his chin on his chest. "What is it?"

Hidan just layed there looking at him. "Can we go to the hot springs...I ache..."

Kakuzu laughed. "Alright, alright." Kakuzu said.

As he sat up Hidan on the dirt, Hidan asked "Can you carry me too? I ache...and I sleepy." He asked, before he yawned a big yawn.

Kakuzu stared at him sitting between his open legs, criss-crossed. "Uh...sure...I guess..."

After Kakuzu got dressed,he got Hidan dressed, making Hidan whince everytime he had to move.

Hidan's head fell forward as Kakuzu put Hidan's arm through his sleave. "I'll never be able to move again, Kakuzu."

Kakuzu laughed. "Oh sure you will...just give it time."

Hidan, looked over at Kakuzu by turning his neck to him. "Yeah..." he then let his head fall forward again, whincing at the pain in his neck.

"shh shh shh..." Kakuzu cooed. He wrapped his arms loosely around him and kissed the back of his neck. "The hot water will soothe the pain."

"mmm..." was all Hidan managed to say as he was lifted into Kakuzu's arms, being craddled like a baby. Hidan smiled and looked up at Kakuzu. "I love you..." and snuggled up to his chest.

Kakuzu smiled and kissed his head. "I love you too."

Hidan giggled and cuddled closer, whincing once, but ignoreing the pain to be happy.

At the Hot Springs, Kakuzu carried Hidan to the spring in his arms, both wareing towels.

Hidan lay in Kakuzu's arms, resting with his eyes closed.

"Hey...Hidan." Kakuzu whispered. When Hidan didn't move, Kakuzu kissed him on the head.

He tightly shut his eyes, whinned, and opened his eyes, and looked up at Kakuzu. "Whaaaaaat?"

Kakuzu chuckled. "You feel asleep." He sat down by the hot spring and put his feet in he water, sitting Hidan in his lap and letting his feet fall into the water.

Hidan smiled and layed back down on him. "I'm too weak" he whinned.

Kakuzu laughed and wrapped his arms tight around him, putting his mouth on the curve of his neck and shoulder and closed his eyes and began rocking him back and forth.

Hidan smiled and giggled. "You always do that...why?"

Kakuzu opened his eyes and lifted his head looking at him "Do what?"

Hidan giggled. "That...you always rock me back and forth..."

Kakuzu thought for a second. "I don't know...I just want to cherish the time we have together..." and kissed Hidan's cheek, laying his face back down to where it was before and began rocking him again.

Hidan blushed a light pink. "Oh..." and he giggled.

"mmmm" Kakuzu mumbled and took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he breathed out.

Hidan giggled. "Your weird..." Hidan looked at the steam coming out of the hot springs. "Can we go in now?"

Kakuzu opened his eyes and lifted his head, looking at Hidan. "Sure..." Kakuzu lifted Hidan and sat him next to him and took his towel off and got in the warm water.

Hidan sat there rocking his feet in the water, his palms holding him up as he sat back. Kakuzu giggled and held out his arms. "Get over here."

Hidan smiled big and went legs first into the hot springs, forgetting to take his towel off and let it float off next to him. Hidan jumped into Kakuzu's arms, hugging him tight and giggling.

Kakuzu giggled. "Why are you so happy now?" he asked Hidan as he hugged back.

Hidan stopped giggling and looked him in the eye. "'Cause...you make me happy..." Hidan went red and hugged Kakuzu tight.

Kakuzu blushed a little and hugged tight back. He kissed his neck and whispered in his ear "You make me happy too"
