Haru disappeared back into his room and Mitsuko nestled down on the edge of the couch by Hidan. He was so cute, sleeping there like a baby. She tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear and laid her hand on his shoulder, barely stirring him.
"Hidan, wake up."
His eyes fluttered slowly, trying to act like he had been asleep the whole time. "What is it? Oh, Mitsuko," he smiled at her, "You're back."
"We need to talk," Mitsuko started, swallowing hard. Her fingers were dripping sweat from her palms. "I'll go first," she took a deep breath and prepared to let it all out, "I have a big crush on you!" she exclaimed.
Hidan was surprised she had confessed having a crush on him and saying it so loudly but he frowned. "I like you too, Mitsuko but only as a friend. Don't get me wrong, you're really cute but you deserve better than me. You've seen what I do, it's not fitting for such an innocent girl. I'm sorry Mitsuko, but I'd just prefer to be friends."
She glared at him, angrily. "You were toying with my feelings!" she yelled, "You kissed me and flirted with me! It was all fake!" She stood up from the couch and started for the door.
"Now, Mitsuko... Where are you running off to now?" Hidan asked her, sitting up on the couch.
"I'm going to find your friend and revive him so you can be on your way!" Mitsuko shouted before dashing out into the streets. Hidan leaped up and followed after her.
"Mitsuko! Why can't we just be friends?" Hidan asked from behind her as he followed her through the village.
She didn't answer. The wind was licking at her tears as she stomped down the road. Her hair matted to her face as she cried and bit her lip. She wanted to turn around and punch him in the gut. He never listens. He had no clue. If she couldn't have him, she didn't want him around.
"Mitsuko, answer me," he commanded her like she was a slave.
She clenched her fists and ground her teeth harder.
"Can we just act like none of that happened? I liked being just friends with you," Hidan caught up beside her but she leaped into a sprint.
Now the two of them were running side by side. Mitsuko grinned through her tears and took a quick left turn into the scrollery. Hidan kept running and saw that Mitsuko was gone. He looked around anxiously but he couldn't find her.
"Shit..." he muttered. He was utterly lost.
Mitsuko entered the scrollery and began searching for scrolls on necromancy. She was glad that she was able to ditch Hidan before he saw her crying. All she wanted to do was get this over with and get him on his way out of her life.
There weren't many scrolls on necromancy as it was forbidden to practice but stupidly, you could study it freely. Mitsuko smirked and thanked whoever made that law as she unrolled the scroll in a private corner and studied it carefully and thoroughly. She would use this jutsu in case her cell theory didn't work. But suddenly she thought about the cells. How would she do the transfer?
