Hidan woke up later, much later. His neck was hurting, and he rubbed it to try to stop the pain.

He looked around the room, it was night-time. The room was dark, and he could hear slow, soft breathing. He got up and saw that Kakuzu was asleep, lying in bed on the other side.

At that moment, lightning crackled, and the thunder boomed out a reply. Hidan winced, and started shaking. He got into bed, and covered himself up with the covers.

The next boom and crackle sent shivers up his spine, and he slid quickly over to Kakuzu. He hugged the man, and buried his head in his back.

At this moment, Kakuzu woke up, and looked over his shoulder at the object that intruded his sleep. His eyes went wide, and he sat up.

Hidan was left on the bed, sitting up also. He started crying. "I-i'm sorry! Please, I'm scared! Don't hurt me." He said, using his arms as a shield for his face, incase he was hit.

"I-I killed you though...I know I did!" Kakuzu backed up. Hidan put his arms down, "I-I'm-" He sniffled. "Immortal, you can't kill me..." He said, and sniffled again.

Kakuzu's eyes were wide, He was glad his mask was on, so the kid wouldn't see the pure shock on his face. They sat there like that, staring at each other.

Then the lightning erupted again, and Hidan pounced on Kakuzu, sending them both falling off the bed. "What the heck is wrong with you!" Kakuzu said, trying to pry off the teen.

"Please! He said he was coming! I'm never safe!" He started crying again.

Kakuzu sat up, confused in the whole mess. He hugged the boy back, and gently shushed him.

"It's okay. He's not going to get you. You're safe here." Kakuzu didn't really know who 'he' was, but it couldn't help.

Hidan's crying turned to sniffling. "Come on." He got up and pulled Hidan up too. Hidan held onto Kakuzu's cloak, which the man never took off while sleeping.

Then Kakuzu led them both out of the room.
