Day one: Hell.
That was the only way to describe this first day with Hidan. I was ready to kill something more than once. I loved his eyes, yes, but I was getting sick of seeing him everywhere I went. Especially when he decided to question me that night.
"Soooo, Kakuzu, are you still in l-love with my eyes?" I snorted at his trouble of saying love. "Yes."
I looked up to see him smiling. Yes, smiling. I rolled my eyes and sat down on the bed. "For the love of Jashin, will you talk to me for five seconds!"
I looked to him again and said, "I just did."
Hidan's face burst into a fury of red. I layed down and felt a sudden weight on my legs. I looked to my legs to see Hidan coming closer to my middle. Or what was directly beneath my middle. I do believe he was attempting to straddle me.
I easily got him off of me, watching in amusement as he fell to the floor and hit the wall. I made sure it wasn't strong enough to break the wall, though I get the feeling the receptionist thought the noise was something else entirely...
"Fuck, Kakuzu! I wasn't trying to molest you!" I stared at him for a moment, a bemused look trying to enter my face. I decided to get up and go get changed for sleep. "Hey! I'm not done talking to you!"
I shut the door right as he finished and smiled to myself. When he was on my legs, there was a warmth that started somewhere in my body. It was a good warmth too.
Quickly, I changed into the pajama bottoms that Hidan bought for me as a present. I swore to myself I wouldn't wear them, but there wasn't anything else to wear. Slowly and reluctantly, I put the accursed pants on. They had lots of hearts on them, which scared me to death. At the same time, however, I have five hearts, so I don't really see why I'm so scared of the pants. Maybe it's because the hearts on the pants are the ones you think of when you are in love...
Slightly embarrassed at what I was wearing, I walked out to the room. I could vaguely hear Hidan's muttering, which was most likely swearing, in the background. I looked at him before sitting on the bed. He jumped and turned around, obviously having not notice me leave the bathroom. When he saw what I was wearing, a blush overtook his face in seconds.
"Um, I think I'll go c-change now." He rushed to the bathroom, leaving me to the bed. That didn't bother me one bit. I laid on the bed and got comfortable. After a minute or two, Hidan came out, wearing his new attire too.
This particular article of clothing made me blush slightly and get extremely mad. All over the pants it said Kakuzu. He obviously special ordered it at the place he bought mine. "How's it look?"
I leaped off the bed and pinned him to the wall. My anger seemed to be overcoming my absolute joy at seeing him wear that. "Why would you wear something like that in front of me? Why would you ever buy something like that?"
Hidan's eyes had widened in shock. He clearly thought I would like it more. "But I thought-"
"YOU THOUGHT WRONG!" With that said, I grabbed his shirt and nearly threw him out of the window. A knock on the door stopped me. We quickly reverted back to our teenage cover up.
"You can come in," I said. The door opened to reveal the receptionist, holding a small blush on her face. "I was just wondering if everything was alright with you two. I heard some yelling, so I thought I should check up."
Hidan spoke before I got the chance. "We were just having a little fight on where we should visit tomorrow. I want to go see the mountains while Akami wants to take a walk around the town again. That's what we did today!"
"Yeah, but there are still a lot of places I want to check out!" The receptionist smiled at us. "How about a wagon ride? It brings you all through town and then into the mountains a bit."
We looked at each other and faked excited looks. "That sounds like an amazing idea!"
Her smile faltered slightly. "Now, whatever you do, don't leave the wagon when you are in the mountains. There is said to be a group of ninja living somewhere in the mountains. Many tourists have never been found after being in those mountains. The only way you are allowed in is with a wagon." We glanced at each other. It seems like we have found Hajime Akutgawa faster than we had anticipated. But wasn't he the lord of an estate?
"Isn't there an estate in the mountains?" She looked petrified that I would know something like that. "How do you know of the Akutgawa estate?"
Hidan answered. "We heard it in the town before we came here. We asked for directions to this place and they said to watch out for the Akutgawa estate in the mountains. Is it really that bad of a place?"
The receptionist's eyes dimmed. "Yes. And you are to stay away from that place. I don't want any more people going missing." Silence ensued this little talk. Suddenly, the receptionist's eyes lit up and she smiled wholeheartedly at us. "Well, I won't keep you two anymore! Make sure you're back in your room by nine, alright? Goodnight!"
She scurried out of the room. After waiting a moment, we went back to our normal selves. We looked at each other, knowing our mission would have to take first place on our to do list.
I went to the bed and laid on it, making sure I took up as much room as possible. We had decided to take turns using the bed. It wouldn't be as awkward that way. Thankfully, I knew some genjutsu and I put the room under one. It had the teenage version of us sleeping soundly in the bed together. Thank Kami that wasn't reality. For some reason when I thought that, something inside me told me otherwise. Maybe I really was falling for the guy I couldn't kill.
I woke up groggily. After sitting up, I twisted my neck to feel pain. I slept on my neck wrong. Wonderful way to start out the day. My lovely room mate was drooling on his sleeping bag while he slept. For some reason, I didn't think it was disgusting like I normally do.
I quietly went to the bathroom and changed out of my hideous pants. I was so preoccupied with gagging at my pants that I didn't notice the bathroom door open. I did, however, notice the gasp of air from the direction of the door. That was when I remembered I had taken my boxers off the night before and I had nothing covering my lower half.
I glanced at Hidan who was completely red and staring at that area of my body. I smirked. "Like what you see?"
His eyes widened and he ran out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. I smiled, knowing that that was going to work.
After putting on my clothes, I went back out and looked at Hidan. Well, Hidan's back, is what I should say. He was currently muttering rapidly under his breath. I'm pretty sure he said, "It was so big!" at one point, but you never know.
"You can use the bathroom now." Hidan stiffened. Without turning around, he nodded his head, stood up, and kept his back to my on his way to the bathroom. He shut the door quickly. I could have burst out laughing if I didn't hold it in. He was so cute, in his own sadistic way. Wait, what?
I quickly busied myself with plans for the day. I decided we would get the noon run of the wagon ride. Before, we would go to random shops and look at everything, acting like a very bubbly teenage couple. Fantastic.
The bathroom door opened and a figure ran out of it and ran out the front door before I could say anything. Looks like our plans will have to be cancelled. Pity.
I quickly transformed into Akami and went out in search of the retard I'm possibly, maybe, starting to like. Why couldn't my love just stay with his eyes?
"She ran out in quite a hurry. You two didn't have another disagreement, did you?" I looked to the receptionist and smiled. "No, I just asked her to marry me. She got a bit too excited apparently."
"That's amazing news! When is the wedding?" I inwardly flinched. "We haven't set a date yet, but it'll probably be soon."
The receptionist said some nice words that made me wish this were all real and not a complete lie. She told me to go get my bride to be before she decided to tell everyone in the village. Whatever, lady.
I started walking to where I guessed Hidan went to. During my search, I got lost in my thoughts. I still don't know what the receptionist's name is. Was it Ayame? Or Rei? Why do I care?
I got out of my thoughts and looked in Hidan's favorite shop: Nagisa's Hair Products. Who would have thought it's his favorite store? Rhetorical question, people.
I walked inside and looked around. Low and behold, he was over in the corner looking at the girls section in his Kaminari form. He was actually considering buying shampoo for 'the smoothest hair you'll ever feel!' I thought he only used hair gel.
When he looked up and saw me, he almost dropped the shampoo bottle. I smiled and went over to him. "I know you're nervous about the wedding, honey, but don't drop stuff in a store."
His eyes widened bigger than I thought they ever could. Once again, I felt that I could burst out laughing at that moment. Thank Kami for self control.
"M-married?" I chuckled at his whisper. "Yes, sweetheart, married. That's what you and me will be in a couple of months."
A few people standing around who heard came over to congratulate us. I nudged Hidan in the ribs. He finally figured out that it was part of our cover-up, not reality. He blushed and let out a little smile.
We let everyone congratulate us and got out of there as fast as we could. I dragged him to probably ten stores before we decided to get lunch. He had been acting exactly like I hoped: a happy idiot.
"Alright, where did that marriage thing come from?" Hidan whispered to me. "The receptionist was wondering why you ran out, so I said that I asked you to marry me and you were too excited."
Hidan slammed his forehead to the table. I burst out laughing, glad that I could finally let it out. He came back up, blushing madly. "Come on, we're going to miss our wagon ride."
We were the only ones that were going on the ride. The man was actually surprised to see us. "You two goin' on the ride?" His accent was really heavy.
We both nodded and got on. Before we sat down, he turned around and said, "I ain't here to give ya a tour, so don't ask questions, got it?" We nodded and he turned around to start the ride.
The town ride was boring, to say the least. Everyone was turning in the opposite direction the second they saw the wagon. Some people gave us looks of pity. I was actually itching with questions.
When we got to the forest, both of us perked up a bit. We went in pretty deep and started to climb. The man driving us actually said something to us while we were ascending. "The Akutgawa estate is up ahead. Don't git out of the wagon, or I'll be forced to leave ya behind."
"That's the same thing the receptionist at the inn said." Hidan stared at me, giving the look, 'Don't talk, remember?' The man said something back. "That's what everyone'll say, so don't get out and quite yapping!"
In a normal situation, his neck would be broken and he would be trailing behind the wagon. Stupid mission. We went through the forest before abruptly turning off the trail onto a not so used trail. The man didn't have to say a thing. The entrance to the estate was on that road.
We quickly finished the ride and payed our fee. I grimaced when I gave him the money. Hidan and I walked at a good pace to the inn. After entering and getting in our room, we got out of our henges. We both sat on the bed, not caring that the other was on it too. "So, when should we strike?"
I looked at him for a moment before answering. "Tonight at midnight."
He nodded and went to get some sleep. It was going to be a long night. I put up a genjutsu again and went to sleep too.
I woke up after Hidan this time. I stretched and made sure the genjutsu was strong enough to last the night. Hidan came lumbering out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. I looked at the clock and saw it was 11:38. Sighing, I took my turn in the bathroom.
I came out about six minutes later. Hidan was in full armor, minus the Akatsuki robe. It made more sense not to wear it, but we wanted them to know who we were. When he saw me wearing mine, he pouted. "Do I have to?"
I nodded and he swore. "God dammit! I actually was hoping that my first fight with this retarded organization would be without the fucking robe!"
"We have to get going." He hurriedly put the robe on and went out the window with me. We landed without noise on the ground outside. Pushing chakra to our feet, we ran at full speed to the forest.
It wasn't hard to find the estate. There were two ninja who were patrolling around Hajime Akutgawa's room. All the rest of the guards were only normal people who would be easy to defeat. The estate was rather large and Hajime's room was located in the middle of the estate, which meant they would be warned that we were there.
We positioned ourselves on the side with the most guards. I looked down at the watch I bought and saw it was 11:59. Within that minute, it felt like an eternity. The second it became midnight, we leaped over the wall and looked at the startled guards. Hidan drew his scythe and licked the blade. "Let's have some fun!"
I had to add a sadistic Hidan moment. I know, it is still incredibly strange, but I'm thankful for the reviews I've gotten. I didn't think it was that good. Thank you to those who reviewed and I hope more people do review!
