Deidara sighed in boredom, playing with one of the glasses at the bar. Sasori frowned and took it from him before sitting at his side. It was Zetsu's shift at the Akatsuki. Deidara leaned on his boyfriend, wondering where his brother was. After all, the last time he had seen him was in an ad. That is why the blond was shocked to find Kakuzu standing behind them, clearing his throat to get their attention.

"Deidara, are you doing anything Saturday?" He asked.

"Mine." Sasori growled.

"Don't worry, I don't need two brats." Kakuzu scoffed. "Just wanted you guys to make sure you're here on Saturday."

"Why, hm?" Deidara asked suspiciously.

"Surprise." He grunted before leaving.

–

Deidara and Sasori waited outside the bar for the others. Pain had closed it for a 'special occasion'. About an hour later, Kisame and Itachi arrived, also having no idea about why they were there. A few minutes more, Zetsu and Tobi arrived, explaining that they needed to go to the Jashinist's church. Suki and Atari greeted them, taking them to a large room that had many refreshments and tables. Kakuzu's kids and his father was there with his family. They looked very uncomfortable with the place.

"Hidan is waiting for you, Deidara." Suki smiled, leading Deidara away.

"I can't believe the bitch planned without me, hm." The blond pouted.

"Well... after how you 'helped' plan for my wedding... can you blame him?" He laughed.

"This is different though. We've been together for ages, hm..." He continued to pout.

"I'm sure there was good reason..." Suki sighed, opening a bedroom door.

"About fucking time, Dei." Hidan snapped, chucking a brush at his brother. "Fix my Jashin-damned hair before I just gel it back."

"You don't gel your hair back for the most important day in your life, un."

Deidara rolled his eyes and grabbed the brush, shooing Suki out before going to stand behind his brother. Hidan was sitting in front of a mirror, playing with his ring. Deidara was surprised when he saw it but silently brushed through Hidan's hair. He saw a dark red, almost black ribbon and used it to pull his gray bangs from his face. His hair was lighter than Deidara had ever saw it and Hidan explained it was a new shampoo that his soon-to-be father-in-law was developing. Deidara finished quickly and waited for Hidan's approval before drifting to the closet.

He knew Hidan would be only wearing his cloak and boxers for the ceremony but after the ceremony, he would need an outfit. Unfortunately, the selection was small and so Deidara grabbed simple dressy clothes. Suki returned when Hidan was done changing and Deidara had picked out an outfit. He had both of them follow him to another room where Atari was waiting with Kakuzu. Deidara was ushered over to sit with Sasori and the others from the Akatsuki. Across from them sat Kakuzu's family—save Gina. Suki brought Hidan to Kakuzu and took his place as the priest.

"Kakuzu, you are a heathen to our lord Jashin but here you are, about to join with his priest, Hidan. You are to be tolerant to the faith if not a believer and should you place harm on any Jashinist, your fate will be worse than death. Now, should you be unfaithful to this Jashinist, you will be castrated." Suki gave a small, sadistic smirk while everyone, especially Atari, winced. "So, do you still wish to become joined with Priest Hidan?"

"Yes." Kakuzu nodded.

"Hidan, do you truly want to seal your fate with this heathen?"

"Fuck yeah." Hidan grinned, making Kakuzu roll his eyes in amusement.

"Then Jashin approves and may you two find a painful demise."

Suki motioned to Atari suddenly and his husband waved the Jashinists' branding tool. The end was radiating quite a bit of heat and Kakuzu tensed. Hidan noticed and smiled, nudging his hand before pulling aside his cloak, showing the spot to be branded. Kakuzu mimicked. After all, those black bands were not tattoos he got on a whim—he rather hated tattoos. No, it had been torture for when he had been captured in the war. These thoughts kept him from screaming out as the iron was pressed to his lower back. He clenched his teeth as it cooled and watched Atari do the same for Hidan. He screamed—but not in complete pain. The sound made Kakuzu's little friend jump a bit and he quickly looked away.

The ritual was finished and Hidan went to the room he was in earlier to change with Kakuzu following close—very close—behind. The others in the ritual room went to sign the witness sheet and then filed back to the large party room. Atari and Suki went to their instruments and started to play while their daughter quickly made her way up to them after kissing Gina's cheek. Jyru spotted his sister and left his date to tease her. She merely flipped him off and returned to eating her cheese and peanut butter-covered cracker. In the room, Kakuzu and Hidan were in a heated make-out, their cloaks thrown to the floor.

"Kuzu!" Hidan cried out as Kakuzu nipped his neck, fondling him at the same time. "W-We should be waiting for the honeym-moon." He protested yet his legs wrapped themselves around Kakuzu's waist, holding him closer.

"But hearing you... scream... really got me heated hotter than that metal." Kakuzu breathed, nibbling his ear now.

"S-Sadist!" Hidan flushed more, rubbing their groins together.

"Masochist." He replied, gripping his hips.

They continued to grind together until Hidan became desperate, bucking against Kakuzu, hugging his lower back. Kakuzu clenched his teeth again, doubling over Hidan as he came. Hidan moaned at the added wetness and followed, collapsing back. They lay panting for a while until Kakuzu rolled off, pulling off his messed boxers. He then helped Hidan out of his, admiring the burn mark that bound them for life. He kissed the mark and Hidan groaned.

"We can't do that again. What would those bastards in the cafeteria think?" Hidan cackled.

"They'd be jealous that they couldn't get someone as hot as you." Kakuzu smirked, pulling on a shirt.

They finished dressing, had another make-out session, and then joined the others. Hidan was immediately swamped by Jashinists, chatting eagerly to him in Japanese. Kakuzu smiled faintly and went to his father and kids, watching Haruko wink at Gina. He had only recently found out about their relationship, having the misfortune to catch them on the couch a few days after he proposed. He had also noticed Gina was gaining weight. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt someone grab his shoulder. His father led him to a more secluded hallway and gave him a 'the talk' look.

"Odd ceremony... I hope you know what you're getting into." He scowled. "If anyone finds out that my son is dating a leader of such a religious sect-"

"Save your lecture, old man." He sighed. "I don't give two shits about your company and reputation. Just tell them I have no ties to you. Simple enough."

"Your son... I want him to take over the company."

"Hmph. I was wondering when you'd explain why you've been so close to Princeton." Kakuzu growled.

"He's up to it. Surely you wouldn't deny him the opportunity to become rich. You do love money." Kazuhiro smirked. "Is that why you married the head of this church? For the funding?"

"... I'd really hate to kick my own father out of my wedding... again." Kakuzu threatened before storming back to the party.

He found his husband chatting with Deidara, Itachi, Jyru, and Tobi. Kakuzu smiled again at Hidan's happy expression and made his way over. His son was listening to the other males' conversation, clearly analyzing. Kakuzu placed a hand on his shoulder and sat besides him. Hidan blushed when he saw the other man's smirk and grabbed his hand.

"You enjoying yourself, Hidan?" He smiled.

"Hell yeah. I'm having a blast!" He slurred and Kakuzu's face fell.

"Now I see why." He laughed. "You're already drunk."

"I swear to drunk I'm not Jashin." He replied.

"I know you aren't, love." He sighed and placed a chaste kiss on his hand. "We should go home early and prepare for the honeymoon."

"I thought we already prepped for that shit in the room!" He pointed to the room they had been in some minutes ago.

"Er... no." Kakuzu blushed slightly when the Deidara and Jyru laughed.

"Well I wanna prep again." Hidan hiccuped.

"Can't you just wait until tomorrow?" Kakuzu huffed in embarrassment.

"Fine, fucker. Screw you." Hidan pouted.

–

Kakuzu carried his new, hung-over husband to the Shisan's vacation home where they would be having their honeymoon. Kakuzu grumbled about how the first day was already as wasted as much as Hidan was. Once Hidan hit the bed he was out like a light and Kakuzu sighed, kissing his forehead before crawling onto the bed with him, too tired to undress. Besides, his lower back was still in pain from the brand...

Early the next morning, as in two in the morning, Hidan was wide awake, poking Kakuzu's cheek. His psychiatrist was out cold and even snoring and Hidan was bored. He smiled then, getting a crazy idea. He straddled the older, carefully slipping his hands under his shirt, stroking his nipples with his thumbs. Kakuzu twitched but remained asleep so he bravely continued, lifting his shirt to lick and kiss his torso. The larger let out something akin to a moan but it was too quiet to tell.

"Mn, Kuzu, I'm I tight enough for you?" He purred into the man's ear before nibbling it.

"Nn... Hidan." Kakuzu turned away from Hidan but the younger had felt his bulge.

"Ohh, Kuzu!" Hidan moaned with a snicker, rubbing him. "Fuck me raw."

"... Since when did you get so perverted?" Kakuzu smirked, eyes opened slightly.

"Depends... Since when have you been awake?" Hidan blushed but kept his cocky grin.

"Since you licked me." Kakuzu replied, slipping his tan hands into his pants in order to grope him roughly. "And moaned my name." He murmured.

"Ah..." Hidan was panting slightly, feeling mixed emotions.

"Do you really want me to 'fuck you raw'?" Kakuzu rolled so he was now above his husband.

Hidan nodded and latched his arms around his tan neck, meshing their lips together. Clothes were further removed and marks were made. Words were exchanged, whispered in the others' ears and soon Hidan was on his hands and knees, egging his lover on. Kakuzu growled low, pressing himself on Hidan, slowly entering him. The smaller male's eyes were wide, watering—it had been awhile since he had been entered, especially by something so large. The elder frowned when he saw he was in pain and stopped, nibbling the pale neck until Hidan bucked back, forcing Kakuzu in further.

Kakuzu moaned, doubling over and tightening his arms around Hidan. He had never felt so good and, judging from his expression, neither had Hidan. He figured this was because of his size or the fact that they were joined. Regardless of his thinking, he started to pull out and then went right back in, startled when Hidan cried out loud, tossing his head back. He continued the same motion for awhile until he got the desire to watch Hidan's expressions and slipped out. He ignored Hidan's protest, flipping the zealot onto his back.

The younger male's face turned red and he quickly turned away. Kakuzu sighed, rolling his eyes but was too eager to make Hidan look. The Jashinist looked at him in shock as soon as he felt Kakuzu reentering him. He moaned, gripping the sheets as Kakuzu slipped back in, resuming the thrusts only at a slightly more awkward pace. It certainly was not as easy as from behind but the view was enough. They moved together and Kakuzu began to treat Hidan after the other demanded it. It only took a few tugs before Hidan released, squeezing Kakuzu as he thrust in as far in as he could. The elder's mouth gaped at the feel and he too released, moving only slightly inside of his lover.

Once Kakuzu was completely done, he pulled out, kissing Hidan deeply. They fell asleep moments after whispering their words of love.

–

After the honeymoon, Kakuzu returned home without his new spouse. Hidan had been taken to work hard for his father for the day. The couple's loving time together after the wedding was good enough for Kakuzu to allow it without a second thought. However, his smile faded slightly when he saw his daughter waiting for him in his bedroom, wearing a very large sweater. She could not look him in the eye and he sighed, joining her on the bed.

"What's wrong, Gina? Why aren't you at school?"

"Um..." Gina's throat tightened and her eyes watered. "You promise not to get mad?"

"... I promise I won't hurt nor hate you... what happened?" Kakuzu replied softly, pulling her towards him.

"Um... I uh... I'm... pregnant..." She cried.

For a moment, Kakuzu tensed, face blank. His daughter cried into his shoulder and he was brought back to high school...

– Flashback –

"What are you doing here so late, Terra?" Kakuzu sighed. "Did he break up with you?"

"Why are you always right, Kakuzu?" A brown haired woman sobbed, just outside his window.

"Come on up..." Kakuzu switched on his light and opened his window for his friend.

"T-Thanks, K-Kakuzu." She choked, climbing in and clinging to his chest. "You're al-always there for me. Thank you..."

"You know I love you, Terra." Kakuzu hugged her, petting her hair. "Want to talk about it?"

"N-Not right now. C-Can I spend the night?"

Kakuzu nodded and took her to his bed. They crawled under the covers and Kakuzu let Terra cry on him while he read a book. Then, the crying quieted. Kakuzu set his book down and then saw she was still awake.

"I'm pregnant..." Kakuzu tensed. "When I went to tell him... he had gone. Too much meth..."

"Terra..." Kakuzu exhaled slowly, pulling her close. "What do you want me to do?"

"... Help me." She whispered, crying quietly.

"I will." He replied.

–

"Daddy!"

Kakuzu smiled at Princeton, kneeling to hug him. He was lucky that Terra's pregnancy and announcement of him being the father had not affected his chances of getting into a good college. Although it was expected since his father and hers were both wealthy enough to pay it off. Kakuzu had always longed for college but ever since he signed Princeton Jyru Shisan's birth certificate, he had been anxious. However, as he hugged the four year old, he smelled something was off.

He picked him up, settling him on his hip and looked around for his mother. Terra was nowhere in sight. He scowled knowing she had just dumped him off at the meeting point again. He was infuriated that he could smell marijuana on the child. Terra was going to get an earful when he saw her. Princeton clung tightly to his father, wanting to go home. After he was given a bath and his clothes disposed of, Kakuzu waited at his house for the boy's mother to return for him. She came at three in the morning and was completely stoned.

"Terra!" Kakuzu growled as his childhood friend approached. "Why does Prince smell like he's been in contact with drugs?"

"Ugh." She rolled her eyes. "It's your fuggin' fault, fag. You should have picked him up earlier."

"Terra-"

"Fuck off." She grumbled.

"No. This is getting ridiculous. You're a mother now, Terra. You should act like one."

"Tch. 'The fuck do you know about the life of single mothers?" She scoffed.

"Enough to take Princeton from you." He replied coldly.

"Go ahead and take the little shit!" She snapped. "He's done nothing but cause trouble for me."

At that, Kakuzu slapped her and calmly told her to leave. He would be taking her son with him to college and he did. The following year, Terra came back, clean and begging for him to give her his son back.

"On one condition." He replied. "We get married so I can keep an eye on you and Prince."

On their wedding day, Kakuzu was questioned by his father. His father had said he was a fool for marrying her just for her child. A child that was not his. Kakuzu's response was that he was the father and he made his father leave. They did not have a honeymoon and a few years later, Gina was born. Kakuzu sighed, staring at the baby girl in his arms, glancing over to their silver-haired maid. Terra had been unable to control herself and was slipping back into the dark years. It did not help that Kakuzu now had two children to support and had to go overseas for his father's business.

Terra came home late, sobbing and bruised. Kakuzu sighed and pulled her close like he had when he had been told of her first pregnancy. Only now she gave now unresponsive. He tucked her into bed, informing Ginji to watch her and went out to find the man that threatened his family. He returned to find Ginji restraining Terra. He took the place of his servant and held her close, telling her to be quiet.

"I don't want it..." She sobbed.

"I don't care." He replied.

"You never did."

She pushed herself from her arms and he trudged to the nursery. He kissed his daughter on the forehead and then turned to his son, lying in a bed, wide awake. Kakuzu lay beside him, staring at the ceiling. Princeton remained quiet, cuddling up to the only man he had known as a father. Then, Kakuzu had to leave for three days. He came back to a quiet son, a crying toddler, and a corpse.

– End Flashback –

Gina was startled when her father embraced her, also crying. Jyru stood in the doorway and turned away from the scene, his heart heavy. He passed Hidan on his way out. Hidan too stood in the doorway but did not leave. He watched his new family. Feeling as though he were intruding, he went to the old nursery. He woke up again hours later and went to the bedroom to find Gina laying, curled up next to her father. He made to retreat again but Kakuzu sat up, careful not to disturb her.

"Help me... Hidan." He sounded tired and gave a weak smile as Hidan joined them in bed. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"... It's not up to me to tell." He replied, leaning against his lover.

"It's Terra all over again." Kakuzu choked.

"No." Hidan replied, grabbing his hand. "She has Haruko and Haruko loves her and her child."

"... I should have been a better dad... a greater husband." He sighed.

"No, you're the greatest dad in the world for taking in those kids and obviously the best husband a girl could have." Hidan scoffed and then smiled as Kakuzu began to laugh, tears still flowing down his face.

EDIT: I think this makes a nice end to the story. I've been struggling to write an epilogue... They live happily ever after, just so you know... xD I need to get to finishing some of my other stories now before I start any more... (I'm in Florida right now, stuck inside due to a horrid sunburn from the beach. I have always hated the beach and I still do... =_=)
