Hidan giggled and hugged him tighter. "Yaaaaay" he cried, and giggled more.
Kakuzu giggled in response, and kissed his shoulder.
Hidan blushed. "You used to hate me you know..."
Kakuzu lifted his head and rested his forehead on his and looked him in the eye. "You used to hate me, too..."
Hidan blushed more. "Thats cause I is shy.." he mumbled, looking down at the water.
Kakuzu smiled and lifted his chin to make Hidan look at him. "Now why is that?"
Hidan went red. "Well, I-I.." Hidan looked down at the water, then at Kakuzu. "I...I dunno knoooow." He said cutely.
Kakuzun laughed. "You're so cute." and kissed him softly.
"mmmmm..." Hidan whinned, looking down at the water now after the kiss. "Noooo I'm nooooooot..." he said trying to keep a straight face.
Kakuzu smiled big. "Yes you are you little-!" Kakuzu ran his hands up Hidan's back, to his neck and began tickling him.
Hidan let out a squealing laugh, lifting his hands to his neck trying to stop Kakuzu's tickling fingers, but ended up clinging onto Kakuzu when he started falling back into the hot springs, and giggling more when Kakuzu didn't stop.
"St-st-stop i-it" Hidan snorted. "K-Kakuzu!"
Kakuzu laughed at Hidan's squealing and snorting laughter. He stopped and held Hidan's head up with his hands, lifting him up from falling over.
Hidan panted and giggled once in a while he caught his breath. He looked at Kakuzu "You ass!" he cried, then laughed.
kakuzu smiled and kissed him softly.
Hidans eyes shoot open as he turned red, and relaxed his eyes as he kissed back softly.
Kakuzu stopped and looked into his eyes. "Why do you always do that?" stroking his finger across his cheek.
Hidan blinked and gulped. "What do you mean?"
Kakuzu looked at his cheek and poked, making Hidan go redder. "That" he looked back in Hidan's eyes "...every time I kiss you, you turn red."
"Um..."Hidan gulped."I dunno know" Hidan said, then pouted.
Kakuzu laughed and let his arms fall to Hidan's lower back, pulling him closer. "Yes you do...what is it?"
Hidan's pout faded away, and he looked down. "'Cause..." he mumbled the rest, and Kakuzu couldn't hear.
"What was that?" he asked, tilting his head so his ear could hear better.
Hidan squeezed his eyes shut, and went redder. "I-I said..."he opened his eyes again, whispering what he mumbled earlier.
Kakuzu sighed, turning his head back looking at Hidan's beat red face. "Hun...you gotta speak up."
Hidan's head snapped up as he yelled "'Cause I never thought I would be with someone like you!"
Kakuzu blinked in wonder. "What?"
Hidan opened one eye, looking at Kakuzu, then the other eye opened. "Cause..." He looked down at the water, avoiding his eyes. "it's to perfect to be true..." he gulped and looked back at Kakuzu. "and..." he looked back down at the water. "a-and" he took a deep breath, realeasing it when he spoke "and your kisses are amazing..."
Kakuzu stared at him for a second, then smiled. "Aw, is that it?"
Hidan was surprised by his response, and looked up at him. "What?"
Kakuzu giggled. "'Cause I think the same thing..."
Hidan blushed more, and looked back down at the water. "mmmm...you don't mean that..."
Kakuzu lifted up his chin and looked in his eyes "Yes I do..." he said in a soothing voice, and kissed him softly.
Hidan wasn't as surprised this time, he just enjoyed the kiss... the love. Kakuzu wrapped his arms tight around him, taking in the romantic kiss.
Hidan kissed back shly, wrapping his arms around his neck, kissing harder.
The kiss never became forcefull, just more romantic with each second that went by. It became more loving as each of them kissed the seconds by, knowing that the love would never end...never ever end...and no one could change them otherwise.
After leaving the hot springs, they started to walk back to the cave, hand and hand, knowing that they had to walk through town to get there.
Hidan looked over at Kakuzu, who wasn't worried at all. Hidan smiled and looked back down at the dirt. Their cloaks where off and laying on their shoulders, headbands and masks with them.
Town was only a few steps away, and Kakuzu started to think about what the people would say.
Hidan shoved him playfully with his side and giggled. Kakuzu looked over at him, to see him hugging his arm with his cheek resting on his arm. Kakuzu smiled and looked ahead at the town, knowing that he didn't care what people thought. He was in love.
They stopped before town, looking at all the people walking around on a busy afternoon at the market. Hidan looked up at Kakuzu, who was looking at the people. He looked down at Hidan, and smiled. Hidan smiled back and rested his cheek back on his arm and walked to town by his side.
People stared at them as they walked along, and the town talked in a hush voice. Hidan straightened up and looked at the passing townspeople. He whinned and looked up at Kakuzu, who was looking straight ahead. Hidan smiled faintly, and looked ahead at the forest ahead.
THWACK! Hidan stopped his his tracks. His head throbbed once in pain as he felt liquid roll down the back of his neck. He put his hand on the back of his head, and pulled a tomato and held it up to his face. His eyes twitched in fear and sadness and he stared at it. He looked up at Kakuzu, who was already looking back at the person who hurt Hidan. Hidan stared at Kakuzu for a moment, then at what he was staring at. He saw a teenager standing infront a huge crowd, glareing at them.
Kakuzu turned to them, letting go of Hidan. Hidan turned to the group of people, staring at the man who threw the tomato.
"Get out of here you freaks!" the man yelled, shoving his finger at the couple. He picked up another tomato and threw it at Hidans face, hitting him square in the face. Hidan fell back on his ass. Hidan held himself up by his palms, leaning back a bit, with tears rolling down his face. Hidan sat up and shoved the tomato off his face, looking at the dirt, biting his lip to stop the tears.
Kakuzu looked back at Hidan, then glared back at the boy. "You little bastard..."he mumbled to himself. He threw his arm and grabbed the boy by the thoat, chokeing him and making the crowd gasp. "You little bastard!" he shouted and pulled him to him, and punched him square in the face, making the boy fly back to where he stood before. Kakuzu glared down at him. "Don't you ever hurt him!" he yelled at him, shoving his finger at him.
The boy layed there, motionless while some of his buddies ran to his aid. Kakuzu looked back down to look at Hidan but Hidan was gone. Kakuzu gasped and looked behind him into the forest. "Hidan" Kakuzu shouted and ran after him.
Hidan was running through the trees, avoiding anything in his way, not having anywhere certian to go in his mind, just away.
His love was sinful, not meant to be, he had to get away before it got any better. Hidan squeezed his eyes shut to let the tears flow more and he cried out his pain. Before he could open his eyes, he ran into a tree and was sent flying back onto his ass and hands.
He whinned in pain, rubbed his head and looked at the tree. He saw two distinct marks on it. One was fresh, the other was farther down, still healing from past head rammings. Hidan bit his lip and looked down at his feet, sobbing softly.
Hidan pulled his knees up to his chest "I guess...it wasnt meant to be." he sobbed as he layed his forehead on his knees.
"Hidan!" Hidan heard Kakuzu yelling for him through the forest behind him. He lifted his head and looked back at Kakuzu running toward him.
"Kakuzu..." Hidan mumbled, then turned his head away and layed his head back on his knees.
Kakuzu stood there, panting softly and looking at the weak Hidan. "Hidan?" Kakuzu walked up to him and put his hand on his head. "Whats wrong?"
Hidan didn't respond. He sniffled in snot then sobbed more.
"Hidan..."Kakuzu sighed and went and sat by his side, holding his knees to his chest like Hidan. He looked at Hidan "Don't listen to them" he said. "...they dont know anything..."
Hidan sniffled, and whipped away his snot and tears on his arm and looked at his arm "b-but..."
Kakuzu hit him with his arm playfully. "You really care what those people think?" he asked with confusion in his voice.
Hidan's tears stopped, and he looked at Kakuzu in awe.
Kakuzu was looking at their feet. "They don't know anything..." He looked up at Hidan. "How can you care?"
Hidan gulped and looked at his arm, and whipped his arm on his pant leg to dry the tears and hugged his legs again, putting his mouth on the back of his knees. He was glareing at the tree he ran into earlier.
Kakuzu tilted his head in confusion, and looked at the tree he was looking at and the two scar marks on it, then at Hidan, whos face was dotted with bark chips and sweat.
Hidan continued to stare at the tree, wondering if he should continue on with his life, and stop worrying about everyone, and just himself...
He sighed and put his chin on his knees, still thinking about what he should do next...
Kakuzu sighed and looked back at the tree. "What are you scared of?"
Hidan was surprised by the question and looked over at Kakuzu. Kakuzu's eyes shifted over to him, then back at the tree. "Why..." He shrugged. "Why are you so scared of what everyone thinks?" He looked over at Hidan, who didn't want to look in his eyes, but turned to him looking at the dirt.
Hidan was silent for a while...
"I don't know..." He looked up into Kakuzu's eyes, letting Kakuzu see his watery eyes. "I don't know..." he repeated.
Kakuzu sighed. "Then why do you want to run?"
Hidan looked down, then turned his head back to the tree. He sat there a while before getting up and walking to the tree and putting his palm on it, looking down at where its roots would be. Kakuzu watched him, Hidan's shoulders began to shake from the sobbing; he layed his forehead on the tree and sobbed more. He made a fist with his other hand and rammed it into the tree, making blood trickle down the tree bark.
'Why...' He hit it again, making his fist bleed more, making his eyes spill more pain out.
Kakuzu didn't stop him when began yelling and ramming his fist into the tree again and again...he didn't understand why, but he knew Hidan was scared...scared of everyone...of his feelings...he helped in the only way he could...by watching.
Again and again he hit the tree, again and again his fist bleed and his eyes wept, again and again he asked why...why...
His fist finally became to sore to move anymore. Hidan looked at his bleeding fist, tears rolling down his face, eyes wide in fear. He bit his lip and began to fall down. Kakuzu caught him before he fell anymore and pulled him into his arms, laying his face to his chest.
"Shhh shh shhh..." Kakuzu cooed. Hidan's arms and body were resting on Kakuzu's chest as he sobbed on Kakuzu. Kakuzu kissed his head and rocked him back and forth, making Hidan's tears slowly stop.
Kakuzu began humming to him softly. His fear started to fade away with the wind and his eyes began to calm as he heard Kakuzu's soothing voice.
...All alone in the forest...humming and dancing to their own slow song...not careing about the hatred around them...loving each other...letting all the fear flow away...
...away with the hate...away with the fear..away with the confusion...away...away...
Hidan began to smile faintly as Kakuzu rocked him back and forth. He sniffled, knowing that Kakuzu would always be there for him...always...forever and ever...to the bitter end...
