Here it is, the second chapter. I've had I done for a while but I wanted to see if people liked the first chapter before putting it up. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story and I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them.
Her fists, her punch, her fury. Hidan couldn't get his mind off of it. She was so perfect in every way it was unbelievable. Leave it to Jashin to find him the perfect women. It was times like these when Hidan remembered the reason he followed his wonderful lord. Jashin was always right, and yet again, Hidan was happy with the results.
However not everyone was so happy with Hidan's recent epiphany, Kakuzu in particular. "You just should have seen her, shit-face. Fuck did she get me good. Broke all my ribs, couldn't breathe for two whole hours. Nobody's ever gotten me like that before, nobody!" And Kakuzu had no interest in hearing about it. So the idiot had found a women, no big deal, it was bound to happen at some point. And he had gotten off on her with a punch, again, not surprising. Knowing Hidan the women was probably some big, ugly, sadist, just like he was. That seemed to Kakuzu like someone he would like. "Man, I've heard about other followers finding their mates, but I mean, it's been so fucking long I never thought it would happen to me." The Idiot was still blabbering, couldn't he see that Kakuzu wasn't interested. "Fuck, this is great, now I can finally settle down, get married, support a family just like a good fucking Husband should. I get to come home to a warm bed and a good meal and lots of sex, seriously. This is so fucking great."
"Hidan" Kakuzu thought he should throw something in.
"Yes shit-face"
"Have you ever considered the possibility that this women may not like you as much as you like her" A long pause followed that statement, then suddenly Hidan burst into hysterical laughter. Kakuzu was a little taken aback.
"Thats funny, seriously. Of course she will! And if she doesn't, it's not like she has a choice anyway, she's Jashin's chosen. That means she's mine, M-I-N-E nobody fuckin' else's, seriously." Kakuzu only rolled his eyes. He almost felt bad for the poor girl, key word almost. He always had to put up with Hidan's crap, it was about time someone else took a turn.
"Another question Hidan" Kakuzu continued, he seemed to have taken up the role of filling in the gaps of Hidan's flawed logic. "How exactly are you going to find this women? You don't know who she is, where she's from, or even her name."
"Hah! And that's where you're wrong shit-face, cause when she knocked me with all her bountiful glory I was smart enough to look for the village on her headband. She's from fucking Konoha, so fuck you and your stupid assumptions." Kakuzu nodded. He had to say he was surprised that Hidan had even managed to gather that minuscule piece of information but it seemed like this moron was once again missing a piece in the puzzle.
"Konoha is one of the largest hidden villages in the world. What are you going to do? Search every house for her?" Kakuzu replied sarcastically.
"Don't worry shit-face, you may take me for a fucking idiot but this time I have a plan that's gonna get me my fucking wife." He smiled big and winked right in Kakuzu's face. "I'll see you in few weeks shit-face, I'm off to find the women of my dreams" on that note, Hidan disappeared from sight and Kakuzu couldn't help but wonder what the grey-haired man had up his sleeve. Maybe he wasn't such an idiot after all. "See Yah Fucker!" or maybe he was.
"Sakura I would like you to travel with Naruto to Suna to attend the meeting of the ILEY as Konoha representatives." Tsunade announced, virtually seconds after Sakura's entrance into the room. Normally, Sakura would be pleased and honored to go on such a principled mission, but considering she had just returned, was extremely tired, and didn't even know what the ILEY was, she wasn't exactly ecstatic.
"The what?" Sakura questioned indifferently.
"The ILEY, The international league of exceptional youths. It is a organization created to honor successful nins under the age of legal adulthood. The meeting is held every three years and is followed by a gratitude festival. Gaara has agreed to host the celebration in Suna this year, since he is a youth himself, and the Kazekage" Sakura stared at her blankly. Honestly, she didn't really want to go, but she knew what a big honor it was to her village. Tsunade would never let her skip. But maybe if she asked nicely…
"Do I have t- YES" Tsunade cut her off. "Now go home and get ready. You leave tonight"
"What! I don't even get one night!"
"Sakura."
"Yes mam" Sakura signed, leaving the office in a slump.
Just great! She had just gotten back and now she had to leave again, not to mention she had to go all the way to Suna. That's a friggin' three day run. And then there was Naruto. Don't get her wrong, Naruto was her best friend, and she had grown to love him throughout the years, maybe even more than a friend. But three days alone with Naruto could prove to be more than she could handle.
Finally she reached her house and preceded to enter the front door. "MOM! I'm home!" She yelled, glancing passed the mudroom for any sign of her mother. She didn't see anything. Whatever, her mother was a little spacey anyway, she'd find her whenever she found her.
Sakura then moved towards the stairs and hulled her tired body up to her bedroom. At last! Her bed! The long journey was over. She plopped down with a long awaited sigh and was about to close her eyes when.. "Oh, Sakura dear, you're home" Her mother decided to make an appearance.
"Hi Mom."
"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be getting ready?" Her mother questioned. Wait… How did her mom know she was leaving for a mission tonight?
"How do you know I'm leaving?" Sakura asked, eyebrows raised.
"Oh please. Don't play that game with me missy. Naruto droped by here earlier to see if you were ready." Oh, so it was Naruto. "I told him you'd be ready in a hour"
"An Hour!" Sakura gaped.
"Yes, that should be enough time. Shouldn't it?"
"But then I don't even get to take a nap."
"Sakura." It seemed like everybody was out to get her today.
"Fine"
It was dusk when Sakura arrived at the front gates, and unsurprisingly, Naruto was already there. "Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan! Over here!" He screamed, waving his hands around and jumping up and down like some sort of large child.
"Would you cut that out. You're attracting attention" Sakura snarled, hopefully he would get the hint that she wasn't in a very good mood. All she wanted was for him to stop talking
"But I'm excited, it has been so long since you and I had a mission together" Or he could be completely oblivious and continue talking despite the waves of death Sakura was giving off.
Sakura signed (It seemed like she had been signing a lot lately) and started running, ignoring Naruto's constant chatter. "Let's just go. Ok Naruto?"
"Ok Sakura-chan." He beamed, a huge smile on his face. This was going to be a long three days.
Three days later. Nighttime
Hidan had heard about the ILEY meeting from Deidara nearly two weeks ago and at the time, hadn't thought much of it. Deidara had been sulking about not having been invited, because of all people, he considered himself the most exceptional youth there was. Idiot. He was a missing nin, of course he wasn't going to get invited, was all Hidan could think. But strangely enough, a few missing nin's had been invited in the past so maybe Deidara's hopes weren't all for nothing. However Hidan never would have guessed that the information would come of use to him. The ILEY, was a gathering of all the most successful young people from all the most successful hidden villages. That included Konoha. And so using his superior knowledge of Jashin's almighty power, Hidan deduced that Jashin would never pick anything less than the best for his most loyal subject. That meant, that being as young as she looked, his little girl would have to be there. Man he was such a genius I mean, did people get any smarter than him? Probably not.
The meeting itself had taken place a few hours ago. At the moment though, the entire community of Suna was in celebration. 'Jezze, I didn't think desert people had this type of party in them'. People were drinking, laughing, dancing, and pretty much making complete fools of themselves, but no one seemed to care. It was the annual after-party festivity of the ILEY meeting and it only came once every three years. Plus, the citizens were celebrating in honor of their exceptional youths. Sort of. I kinda looked like this habitually stoic village was looking for a reason to party. Whatever the reason Hidan didn't care, his caused lied elsewhere. He needed to find his little pink haired girl. He wasn't exactly a 'youth' so he wasn't allowed in the meeting to look for her. But she was here. He could feel it. And he was going to find her if it was the last thing he ever did. Which it wouldn't be since he's immortal. Hah.
If anything in the world was to be dubbed as completely and utterly overrated, that meeting would have had to have been it. 'Congratulations. Blah blah blah. Thank you. Blah blah blah. Celebrate. Blah blah blah' was a basic summery of what Sakura heard. Sakura had imagined that there would at least be some sort of ceremony where they would acknowledge achievements or something, but there was nothing. They didn't even announce names so god only knows if the attendants were nearly as important as was implied. Now she was in standing in the middle of an oversized frat party when all she wanted to do was to go to bed. Damn her bad luck.
"Sakura-chan! Come on slacken off a little. Enjoy yourself." That was Naruto of course and though usually he had way of loosening up her strings, it wasn't working for her tonight. There were people everywhere, the whole room reeked of alcohol and the man next to her had just finished throwing up. Sakura was a goody two shoes, she never went to the rebellious parties so she certainly didn't have any experience in this sort of situation.
"Naruto. I don't feel comfortable, I think I'm going to go." But when she looked up, she found an unfamiliar pair of eyes staring back at her.
"Hey there s-sweetie. I understand that. I can t-take you home if you l-like" The man was obviously drunk by the way he slurred his sentences.
"That's ok, I'll be fine" Sakura then tried to move away from him but was stopped with a hand on her arm.
"Oh no h-honey, I insist. I'm a good chaperone I promise." He slurred again, tightening his grip of her arm. When was Naruto when she needed him?
"I said I'll be fine. Now please let go" She ground out, quickly losing her patience, she grabbing the offending hand for emphasis.
"Oh no you d-don't. You're coming h-home with me" He repeated himself, and began to drag her in the direction of the door but by this point she had had enough. Did this man know who she was? She wasn't some weak civilian girl who couldn't defend herself. She was Sakura Haruno, the Hokage's prized apprentice. And that was the moment when Sakura made a stupid decision. A decision that she would regret nearly a second after put into action.
"I said let go!" Crash. She had kneed him in the balls so hard, he fell back and smashed into one of the tables. Chances were he wouldn't be taking home any girls anytime soon. However the ruckus had also unfortunately succeeded in attraction the attention of everyone in the room. The scene had grow very quiet.
"Ugg. You b-bitch!" He gasped, grasping his crotch. "Do you know who I am" Were the next words out of his mouth and it was then when she relived that yes. She did know who he was. His was Susade Hadiri, owner and manager of the only water distribution plant in all of Suna. Being in a desert that pretty much made you the most powerful man in the village, short of the Kazekage or course. Sakura mentally slapped herself in the face. What had she gotten herself into?
"Oh my god! I am so sorry" She pleaded not guilty, walking over to him and attempting to help him up.
"Don't touch me!" He roared, expelling her like a disease. She really hoped that this didn't lead to something bad. "Get out NOW!" He continued, face red with rage. "And you better consider yourself lucky that you're friends with the Kazekage or…or… agggg" He cracked and shoved her roughly in the direction of the door. And at this point Sakura was smart enough to recognize that this problem could not be fixed with a simple apology. Or fixed at all for the matter, this guy didn't seem like the forgiving type and she was in too deep. So she left solemnly and with her pride, the crowd quietly breaking for her departure. All eyes were on her and no one came to her aid, not even Naruto. How embarrassing. Well at least it couldn't get any worse
But unfortunately it could, for Sakura had not realized that it was Susade himself who had been sponsoring her and all the other youth's stay during the event. So upon returning to her hotel she discovered that she had been kicked out her room and that there were no more available. That left her basically wandering the streets of Suna looking for a place to stay, which proved to be very difficult seeing as so many people had come in from the countryside for the celebration.
Finally after nearly an hour of wandering she found a small hotel on the outskirts of town, far from the excitement, which was fine with Sakura. The place was diminutive, smelly and the shower produced little to no hot water but at this point Sakura didn't care if there was running water at all, she just wanted to go to bed. So that's what she did. Throw on some sweat pant and a baggy t-shirt, pull her short hair back with her favorite pink headband and climb into bed. She released the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. Boy was she going to get a good night's rest tonight. Or so she thought.
It had been about eleven o'clock when Hidan had wandered into Kazekage's office building, though anyone would have taken it for an office on any other occasion, tonight it looked more like a club. It had all the properties, including loud music, flickering lights, people dropping like flies due to alcohol over dosage. Yep this was some party, all he needed was to find his little blossom and it would be the best time he's had in a long time. However the room was packed and chances of him doing that were proving to be slim to none. Maybe he was wrong? Maybe she wasn't here? Maybe Jashin was wrong?
Wait..hold up.
Jashin? Wrong? That's impossible, Jashin could never and would never be wrong as long as Hidan followed him. He'd checked virtually everywhere else in the city, and she had been nowhere to be found. That meant she had to be here. He had been avoiding this building in fear of being recognized. Not that he was scared of being caught or anything, he just wasn't in the mood to root a scene. But it seemed as if intoxication had taken the place of common sense in the room and he was let in without question, just like everyone else. Even with his Akatsuki cloak and three-bladed scythe in place. This village sure was out cold. Nonetheless Hidan became very excited upon entering the crowded area. She was here alright. He could feel it.
He then proceeded to wander around for what seemed like hours looking for the girl, but there was no sign of her. 'What the fuck? The bitch has pink hair, how hard is it to find a chick with pink hair?' And at that moment a large crash echoed through the room and was followed by complete and total silence. Hidan could almost hear the cricket's chirping.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry." And then he heard it. Her voice. It was her voice. She was here. He had found her. 'Fuck you Kakuzu'. He then advanced towards the source of the beautiful sound. And there she was, in all her pink-haired beauty. And she had…kicked the crap out of some old fart.
'Hells yeah! That's my girl'
She hadn't noticed him yet, in which he wasn't surprised. She seemed pretty focused on her little scat with the old guy. But why was she apologizing? Hidan didn't understand, she had had every right to hit him for what Hidan knew he was undoubtedly doing, so why whimper out now? When she became his wife she wouldn't have to apologize to anyone. All she would have to do was tell him, and he'd take care of everything.
"Get out NOW!" The man then howled and Hidan's pretty little angel left with her eyes to the ground. Hidan hadn't been this angry in a long time. Who gave that piece of shit the right to talk to her like that ? Nobody that's who! This guy would pay and Hidan would make sure of it. But as much as he would enjoy sacrificing that man to his lord, he knew there were more important things to be taken care of. He had found his blossom, now all he had to do was get his hands on her. So quietly, he followed her out the door.
