Kakuzu wished that he didn't follow his curiosity and open the door, because now, the feeling of guilt was stronger than ever…
Not to mention that he didn't have any idea what he was going to do.
''K-Kakuzu…?'' Hidan said, wide eyed.
Kakuzu just stood there, not knowing how to react or what to say. But who could blame him? It wasn't like he could just talk to the immortal like he used to. Not after what he did. Kakuzu could have rescued the Jashinist from the prison while he was there, but he didn't. Why? Because he didn't want to like him. He didn't want to be friends with him. It would only bring him trouble with the ones he loved. Yuki had been furious at the party when he only looked at her 'husband'. How would she react if she knew he was getting closer to the silver haired man? And Toru…Toru would be even angrier than her. He had tried to kill the Jashinist when he saw what the immortal was doing. His family, they would side with Yuki and hate him even more. And his father…His father was going to kill him. Befriending Hidan would be the worst thing he would be doing…
''Hidan…W-what are you doing here?'' He said, his eyes wider than Hidan's. He didn't even notice that he spoke until the Jashinist answered.
''I was in the prison until this big guy decided to take me here or something. But…Kakuzu, what are you doing here?'' The silver haired male said, confusion obvious on his face.
Kakuzu didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. His mind was hurriedly thinking of words he could use for his answer.
Hidan waited patiently for Kakuzu to answer, when slowly, a thought struck him, and his eyes widened.
''Did that man take you here too?'' He said, a slight feeling of happiness building up in his stomach, and a little smile formed on his handsome face. Could it be that Kakuzu didn't want leave him after all? Could it be that the man forced Kakuzu to leave Hidan, and that Kakuzu had no option? That he didn't want to?
''No.'' Kakuzu honestly said, looking at the floor. He didn't want to make things even worse. He might as well tell the truth.
Hidan felt the happiness immediately disappear, and the little smile vanished, replaced by a saddened look. ''So you...you did leave me there…willingly…'' His voice was dripping with disappointment, and Kakuzu's felt his stomach tighten, the guilt tugging at his heart.
''I…did.'' He said, eyes glued to the floor. He wished he didn't do that stupid mistake. He had made one of the few people that had been thinking positively of him, hate him. Who wouldn't hate him after what he did? Even Toru, who was the kindest person he knew, would hate him if he did the same thing to him… He was about to speak again when the immortal interrupted him. With three words that made Kakuzu's heart skip a beat.
''I forgive you.''
Those words, spoken with a smooth yet deep voice, were stuck in Kakuzu's mind. Nobody had ever said those words to him. Looking up, he felt a foreign, but warm, feeling replace the guilt.
The silver haired male was grinning at him. His usual, stupid, idiotic, foolish, but somehow charming grin.

''Pein, Konan? Not to be rude, but what are you doing here, un?'' Deidara asked, looking at the orange haired man and his blue haired wife that were standing at his front door.
''You heard about what happened to your best friend, right?'' The orange haired man, Pein, said, in his usual monotone voice.
''Of course I know, un!'' Deidara said, a little upset that they thought that he didn't know about his best friend, and a little frustrated that nobody had found him yet.
''We know what happened to him.'' Konan said, watching as Deidara's sky blue eyes widened.
He asked them to enter his house, and once they sat at the couches, Pein immediately began explaining.
''You know our friend Zetsu, right?'' Deidara nodded. ''He is close friends with a guy named Toru, and that guy is engaged with someone named Kakuzu.''
''Kakuzu? I knew it had something to do with him!'' The blond growled, his eyes narrowing.
''Do you know him?'' Konan asked, a non-existent eyebrow raised.
''No, but Hidan had told me that he was going to meet him at 2.46 PM. That was when he went missing.''
Silence filled the room for a while, and finally, Pein spoke. ''It wasn't him.''
''What? What do you mean?'' Deidara said, confused.
''It wasn't Kakuzu. Zetsu had said that his friend's father was the one behind this. It's easy to figure out that he only did it for the award. He had made a deal with a high ranked police officer, and he captured both Hidan and Kakuzu. Toru had somehow found out about this, and he asked Zetsu to help him rescue Kakuzu. On the way there, Zetsu saw your best friend in one of the cells.'' Pein said.
Konan continued. ''Zetsu didn't know that he was your best friend until we told him, so he didn't try to rescue him then. However, when he returned to the prison, Hidan wasn't there.''
''That's all we know.'' Pein finished.
Deidara sighed, getting more and more worried about his best friend. Why couldn't the idiot just stay out of trouble for once? But then he realized that if the one behind this just did it for the award, like Pein said, Hidan would be back!
A part of the worry vanished, leaving only a little, and was replaced by relief. ''Thank you for telling me that , un.'' He said, smiling at the couple.

They were outside the mansion, away from sight. They were standing in a secluded place, surrounded by bushes.
Kakuzu's confusion grew, and his eyes narrowed. ''What are you waiting for?'' He said, glaring at the silver haired man.
Hidan raised an eyebrow. ''What am I supposed to do?''
''Go back home?'' Kakuzu said, rolling his eyes. How could someone be this stupid?
''Go back home?'' The Jashinist repeated. ''I can't go fucking home just like that! I have been missing for Jashin knows how long! It's not that easy just going home like nothing happened!''
It was then that Kakuzu remembered that Hidan's family would give a big amount of money as award to anyone who found the idiot and brought him back home. Kakuzu's eyes glinted. He never knew why, but he had always been money obsessed and greedy when it came to it. Why not follow Hidan back home and receive the award? It wasn't like he had anything to lose.
''I'll go with you.'' Kakuzu said.
Hidan eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. Did Kakuzu just say that he would go home with him? Slowly, the wide grin Kakuzu seemed to start liking appeared on the Jashinist's face, and he barely suppressed the urge to jump up and down in glee. ''Really? Fuck yes!'' Slowly, he remembered something, and the grin disappeared. ''…But I don't know where we are right now…'' He said.
''We're still in Konoha. The leaf village.'' Kakuzu said.
''Oh, alright. Now, I need a phone.'' Hidan said.
Kakuzu raised an eyebrow. ''Why?'' He asked.
''To call my brother so that he could drive us home with his car, of course!'' Hidan said, smirking at the words ''drive us home''.
Kakuzu thought for a moment. Where could he get a phone? He turned to look at Toru's mansion, which brought him to the thoughts, 'what is Toru doing right now?', 'Is he looking for me?' and 'Is he worried'. Suddenly, he didn't know what to do anymore. Would he follow Hidan home, and leave Toru looking for him, worried? Or would he just go back to Toru, leaving Hidan to do whatever he wanted? He didn't want to leave Hidan there. He knew he didn't. The guilt would come back full force. But wouldn't he also feel guilty if he just left Toru jumping to conclusions and spending the day worriedly looking for him? Shouldn't he?
He didn't know why he wasn't feeling guilty right then…
A slightly tan hand waved in front of his face. ''Kakuzu! Are you there?'' Hidan said, stopping his hand as Kakuzu's eyebrow twitched.
''Yes, I'm there.'' He said, glaring. Though inside, he was still unsure. Would he follow him home? Could he even trust the Jashinist?
He didn't know what possessed him when he walked up to a girl that was walking nearby, and sent one of his stitches to one of her pockets, grabbing her phone.
He turned around and walked back to where the silver haired immortal was, smirking as he saw the 'I can't believe I didn't see that coming' look on the Jashinist's face.
He shoved the phone on the Jashinist's face. ''Here.''
Hidan took the phone and dialed his brother's number, knowing it by heart.
A short 'click' sounded before his brother's voice reached his ears. ''Hello?''
Hidan smirked. ''Hello, Takeshi.''
He took the phone away from his ears for protection. ''HIDAN? IS THAT YOU? HOLY SHIT, FUCKER! WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN YOU BASTARD? WE WERE WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU! FUCK! WHERE ARE YOU? TELL ME!''
''Calm down, man! I'm alive! And I'm in Konoha, the leaf village. You'll see a mansion with white and brown walls. And hurry up! I'm fucking hungry!'' He didn't even receive a 'bye' before the call ended. He smiled, knowing Takeshi had been very worried about him. He wished he could see his parent's faces once Takeshi tells them the news…
He turned around, watching Kakuzu stare at the mansion nearby. He almost couldn't believe that Kakuzu wanted to follow him home. And he couldn't wait. Could it be that Kakuzu had started trusting him? Could it be that Kakuzu had started liking him? Maybe Kakuzu even regretted leaving him back at the prison!
He immediately turned around when the stitched man turned around and almost caught his stare. He then turned to the tanned male, and grinned innocently. Kakuzu rolled his eyes and turned his attention back at the mansion.
He waited until the silver haired man turned around and stopped staring, and once he did, Kakuzu turned to the immortal. Lifting his arm, the stitches on it began moving. They moved until they reached the Jashinist's feet. Grabbing them, he pulled back his arm with the stitches, sending the silver haired man landing on the ground straight on his ass.
''Ow! Kakuzu you son of a bitch!'' The immortal screamed, standing up and launching himself at the smirking stitched man, sending them both to the ground.
They began fist fighting, all the while, the smiles never left their faces.

I think I just did something bad with my back, because it WON'T FUCKING STOP CRACKING! Not to mention how painful it is D:
Anyway, I am going to get my own laptop! AT FUCKING LAST! It sure took a damn while! I mean, as long as I can remember, I've always asked my parents for a laptop that would be my own. And they gave me everything but a fucking laptop. FINALLY! PS: Once I get the laptop (which is a MacBook by the way) I won't have to deal with my siblings hogging the computer! Which means that the updates will hopefully get better and faster! Hooray :D
And, as always, THANKS to every reading this! And special THANKS to everybody that has reviewed, alerted, and/or put on favorites. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!
And, as I always say at the ends,
PLEASE REVIEW!
