A/N: Chapter 7! Hell to the yes è,é.
IMPORTANT!: I'm going to have very many things to do this week, and I don't know if I will be so busy that I won't update for some time. I'm not sure, so maybe I will, but in case I don't update for some time, I just want you to know why :)
And thanks to all reviewers, followers and readers!

Two figures, an orange haired man and a blue haired young lady, were walking through the streets of Konoha, when suddenly a paper glued to a wall to their left caught their attention.
The orange haired man frowned when he finished reading it.
''Hidan...Isn't that the name of that guy that Deidara said was his best friend?'' He said to his blue haired wife.
She raised an eyebrow. ''Yes. I wonder what happened to him.''
''It says that the person who finds him and brings him back to his family gets an award of ten million Yen. What do you think?'' Her husband said.
''Why not look for him when we are here in Konoha? It's not like we don't have time, and it will make Deidara happy to get his best friend back, not to mention getting the award is kind of tempting.'' She said.
Memorizing how the silver haired man looked, they turned back to the direction they were heading, this time, looking around in search.

''Kakuzuuuuuu. My stomach is fucking killing me...'' Hidan said, clutching his stomach in pain.
''One, I told you not to eat their food, and two, your immortal. Food can't kill you, so shut up.'' Kakuzu growled. He was thinking of ways to get out of the prison, and he had some ideas. Now if only that silver haired freak would shut his big mouth up!
''But I was fucking hungry! What do you expect me to do? And being immortal doesn't mean you won't suffer from pain in the stomach.'' Hidan said, howling in pain.
Kakuzu decided to just ignore him. He returned back to his thoughts of escaping, when suddenly it led to another thought.
If he found a way to escape, would he care to rescue Hidan?
Don't misunderstand. Even if Kakuzu talked to the Jashinist, he still hated him to no end. He didn't know why he loathed him so much, but he just did.
He decided that he wouldn't give a shit if the Jashinist stayed in the prison. In fact, he wanted him to stay.
A feeling suddenly appeared in his stomach, but he ignored it as soon as it came.
He didn't want to accept the fact that the feeling was something called ''guilt''.
000
Takeshi felt better when he saw that almost every citizen of Konoha was looking for his brother. It increased the chances of finding him fast. But of course, he was still searching himself.
But knowing that Konoha was very big made him feel worse. It could take days to find Hidan.
He could only hope that someone or he himself would find him before anything bad happens...

A knock at the door made Tsukimi snap out of her thoughts of where Kakuzu could be. She hurriedly ran to the door, hoping it would be him so that she could give him a proper slap in the cheek for coming home this late. However, she wasn't expecting Yuki to be the one knocking at the door. Her eyes widen when she saw tears coming from her precious daughter's eyes, running down her cheeks.
''Yuki? Honey, what happened?'' She said, closing the door once Yuki stepped in and hugged her.
''H-Hid-Hidan-kun is missing!'' The brown haired girl said between sobs.
''What?'' Tsukimi said, eyes wide. Wasn't Kakuzu also missing? ''Since when?''
''His b-brother said that he we-went out yesterday arou-around 2.45 P.M. Since then he hadn't come back ho-home. Mom, wh-what could have happened to h-him?'' Yuki sobbed, tears leaking out of her eyes, which had gone red from crying.
Tsukimi recalled that Kakuzu also went out that day, around 2.30 P.M or so...
Could Kakuzu have something to do with this?
She suddenly remembered that Yuki should be in her soon-to-be-husband's family's mansion. ''Yuki, why are you here? Weren't you supposed to live in his family's mansion from now on?''
''They said that it wa-was better fo-for me to get back here. I wi-will go back there when they find him.''
Tsukimi sighed as her daughter yet again started crying.

Akato was in his office doing paperwork when his door flew open. He watched as his wife walked up to his desk and sat down. After a few seconds, she began speaking.
''Kakuzu hasn't come back yet.''
His grip on the pen tightened.
''Why hasn't he come back yet?'' He growled out.
''I don't know. Yuki came here crying, saying that the Jashin religion's saint is missing. She said that he went out yesterday at 2.45, and since then he hasn't come back home yet. Kakuzu also went out yesterday, but it was sometime close to 2.30. Do you think Kakuzu is behind this?'' She said, narrowing her eyes.
''No. Kakuzu wouldn't do it. I don't see a reason for him to do so.'' He said, looking at the blank paper in front of him.
''There is many reasons. It could be for the money that his family will give as award for finding him, and you know how greedy Kakuzu is. Or it could be that he wanted to break his sister's heart like that, and you also know how much of a heartless freak Kakuzu is. And don't you think that it is suspicious that he also went missing and hadn't come back, just like the saint?''
''…'' He said nothing. All of those reasons could be true...
''Contact the Aumori family, and tell them that I will be visiting them today.'' He said, getting up from his office chair.

Hidan sighed. He hated being locked up like that. He remembered the first time he was locked up...
It was when he allowed a bunch of skunks enter the mansion as a prank...
But seriously! It wasn't like he knew that the mansion would stink that much after wards! No reason to lock him up for it!
He sighed again, hating how Kakuzu had been ignoring him for the past 20 minutes. He had been talking to himself like some crazed schizo, earning some horrified looks from the other prisoners. (excluding Kakuzu, for some reason.) He just flipped them the bird.
And now, he was sitting still, something he hadn't done in ages, and he was bored out of his mind. He decided to think of the reasons of why he was in jail in the first place.
He didn't even remember ever having killed some Jounin from Konoha. The only people he killed from there was those random shinobi that attacked him and Kakuzu.
Which he shouldn't even have been arrested for. They were the ones who started it!
Though he doubted it was because of them that he and Kakuzu were arrested...
''Hey, Kuzu. Don't you wonder why in the hell we are here anyways? It's not like I lied when I said I don't recall ever killing a Jounin from Konoha.'' He said.
Was it only him, or did Kakuzu just flinch? ''I...I don't know...'' The way Kakuzu said it was kind of suspicious... ''And what's with the pet name?'' A glare brought him back from his thoughts.
''I figured out that it would be nice if we called each other names other than insults, y' know.'' He said, grinning. Though he was still a little suspicious.
''Whatever...'' Kakuzu said, turning back and, again, started ignoring him.
Hidan didn't say anything. He wondered why Kakuzu seemed suspicious when he said that he didn't know why they were there. Maybe he was the one who killed that Jounin?
No, that guy, Ebisu or something, said that the witnesses were sure that it was him that they saw, and they weren't sure if Kakuzu was even there...
Sighing for the third time, he decided to stop thinking. It was getting him a headache...
000
Yutaka grinned as Akato entered his office. He waited for the man to sit down, and began speaking.
''Akato, what could have happened that brought you here?'' He said innocently.
Akato scowled. ''Cut the crap, Yutaka. You know why I'm here, and I know what your up to. Tell me where Kakuzu is.'' He said, looking straight at the other man.
''The police happened to have captured him with the heir. Do you remember the murder of the Hokage's son?'' Akato nodded. ''They think he was the companion of Hidan that night.''
''He wasn't.'' Akato said.
''I know. They aren't sure if it was him, but they have their suspicions. Your son was with Hidan when they captured him.''
Akato frowned. What was Kakuzu doing there with the heir? ''Whatever. Just don't include Kakuzu in the shit your up to. It could lead trouble for me, which, you should know, will end up in trouble for you too.'' Akato said, standing up and walking out of the office, closing the door behind him.
He walked away from the door, not noticing a certain brown haired man hiding nearby.
Toru couldn't believe what he had just eavesdropped.

Takeshi roared in frustration. Half of the day had gone by and he still hadn't found Hidan. He looked everywhere in Konoha's streets, and asked more people if they had seen a tall, cocky, foul mouthed silver haired young man. No one had.
He had lost more and more hope by every second that had gone by. Still, he continued looking.
He'll spend the other half of the day. There is still hope.

''Kakuzu.''
''….''
''Kakuzu!''
''….''
''Kakuzu!''
''….''
''KAKUZU!''
''What?'' Kakuzu finally snapped.
''Why the fuck are you ignoring me?'' Hidan said.
''Because I simply don't want to put up with your bitching.'' Kakuzu replied.
''But I'm just talking! Is it that hard answering once in a while?'' Hidan said, beginning to lose his temper. He had always been hotheaded...
''Yes it is! You never shut your trap!'' Kakuzu said, glaring. He was known for his short temper...
''I was just trying to fucking talk to you! If you don't want to be friends, then fine!'' Hidan shouted, turning away from Kakuzu.
''Good, then!'' Kakuzu shouted back, also turning away. He was happy that the Jashinist finally understood that Kakuzu didn't want to talk. But...
...The damn guilt kicked in again...
000
Toru sat on his bed, alone in his room.
He had been heading to his father's office, to talk to him about the date of his and Kakuzu's wedding. He hadn't been expecting Kakuzu's father to be in there, and he ended up eavesdropping on their conversation.
Kakuzu was in prison.
For something he wasn't involved in.
For something that the bastard at the party started.
Toru was unbelievably angry at his father. He knew that Kakuzu was in prison, and for something he didn't do, yet he wasn't doing anything about it. Didn't he care about the fact that Toru and Kakuzu were together? Didn't he care about Toru's feelings?
And what was Akato talking about when he said that Yutaka was up to something?
He knew that it wasn't involving Kakuzu, since Akato didn't want trouble, so he let it drop.
All he cared about was rescuing Kakuzu, and so, he came up with a plan. Getting up, he grabbed his phone and dialed the number of a close friend.
000
It was night again, and Takeshi was more than exhausted. Yet, he refused to let himself rest. He continued searching, despite that it was pitch black. He refused to accept the fact that he still hadn't found his little brother yet, despite his determination earlier.
He argued with his father when he talked to Takeshi through his cell phone, telling him to come back home and rest. Takeshi kept on refusing. It was only when his mother's worried and sad voice spoke up and told him to come back home that he accepted, and when he did, a huge lump of sorrow and disappointment was stuck in his throat, refusing to let his mind rest.
He sighed, knowing he wouldn't be able to sleep that night, despite the fact that he was exhausted.
000
Kakuzu have always hated his life. And right then, the hatred increased by tenfold. He was very tired, and wished that he could sleep, but all of the prisoners' unbelievably loud snoring and the noises they made refused to let him drift off.
He sighed, wishing that he would get a heart attack and just die...
He almost jumped out of his skin when a familiar voice quietly called out his name. The voice came from above. He looked up and his eyes widen.
One of Toru's friends. Zetsu, he recalled was his name.
You could say that Zetsu was even more abnormal than Kakuzu himself. He had green hair, and a venus flytrap surrounding his head. He had two personalities, his black side and his white side. His black side was arrogant and mean, while his white side was nicer and honest.
Zetsu had a special Jutsu that made him able to melt into a wall, the ground, and other things and appear in the other side.
For some reason, Zetsu had no parents. He was found in the forest by a man, who treated him nicely and acted as his father.
Sometimes Kakuzu wished he was born like that as well...
''Zetsu, why are you here?'' He said, looking up at the green haired man.
''Toru had called me, saying you were in prison and we had to rescue you.'' Zetsu's white side answered. ''Why are you in prison anyway?'' His black side said. The way they speak always gives Kakuzu a headache...
''How did Toru find out?'' Kakuzu said. There was no way Toru have found out unless...
...Could Yutaka have noticed him when he visited the prison?
''I don't know.'' ''Come on, hurry up. Toru's waitin' outside.'' Zetsu held out a hand.
Kakuzu stood up from his bed and jumped up, grabbing Zetsu's offered hand. Slowly, Zetsu began melting into the ceiling. And with a last glance at Hidan, Kakuzu melted into it too.
The guilt in his stomach was killing him...
End chapter 7
It's funny how one little chapter of a crappy fic like this could take HALF A DAY TO FINISH! DX I'm exhausted =_=
Anyway, as always, thanks to every reader, follower, and especially, reviewer! I LOVE YOU ALL!
