Chapter 25- The Chamber

Sunnora looked around her master's large chamber. It was very spacious with dim lighting, as many low lanterns were spread around the room. It was very simple with a large bed in the middle of the room and other simple furniture thrown about in a nice manner. The room could be seen to extend a bit further with a screen hiding the rest of the space, Sunnora could make out a couch and a table with a couple of other doors leading elsewhere but the rest was hidden by the screen.

"Your room is very nice Hidan-sama", Sunnora said as she still inspected the expanded area thoroughly.

Hidan smirked and took it in himself, he sure had missed his room after his long absence and went over to his desk where he picked up what looked to be a small bottle of oil.

"Yeah, I missed it too, the only thing that's missing is my weapon, damn I sure did love that scythe". Hidan placed the bottle back on his desk, the oil was meaningless if he couldn't shine his weapon with it; his eyes went back to the girl standing in front of the double doors.

He looked at her and wondered how he was going to inspect that wound without asking her to take off her leather like top. He thought of something and started making his way to the doors that were located behind the screen. "Wait here, I need to get something", he commanded as he disappeared from her sight.

Hidan opened the large door and made his way inside the large closet, he didn't really see the use of having such a large bedroom with so many commodities much less a walk in closet, but he deduced Konan had something to do with it when constructing the base with Pein. If he had any say in it he would have just stuffed all his clothes in a pile somewhere but Konan insisted they had to keep order and doing so would only wrinkle their clothing. Hidan scoffed at the thought and looked around the closet.

He owned several Akatsuki cloaks because his would always get holes and blood on them really easily, he also owned several pairs of pants, for just about the same reason. The one thing he lacked were shirts, he felt them to be constricting and felt it to be much simpler to not wear them but he did own a pair or two. The silver haired male rummaged through the closet and finally managed to find a simple white T-shirt. He placed everything back and closed the closet door after him.

Sunnora looked in the male's direction as she heard his footsteps making their way towards her.

Hidan looked her straight in the eye and tossed the loose white fabric in her direction, she caught it easily and felt the cool soft cotton under her fingertips.

"What's this Hidan-sama?" she asked curiously.

"What? You've never seen a shirt before?" he smirked and continued to push, "well with the way you dress I'm not really surprised if you haven't".

Sunnora stretched the shirt to its full size and held it in front of her, "put that shirt on so I can inspect your wound".

The girl seemed to understand what her master meant and quickly nodded in his direction to indicate that she would do just that.

He saw as she tried putting the cotton shirt on top of the one she was wearing and cringed, "dipshit, you really make me question your brain function, you need to take off the one you're wearing so I can inspect your arm". He really didn't know what was wrong with her.

Hidan sat down on the bed and started to massage his sore neck, that bed at the inn sure wasn't the best in the world and after so much strain and stress he wasn't feeling a hundred percent. The thought of sleeping in his warm comfy large bed sure did put him in a nice atmosphere.

Sunnora walked towards the desk and placed the cotton shirt on top of it.

Hidan closed his eyes momentarily as his fingers did release some of the stress from his shoulder and neck area, he could hear the girl pacing and spoke up, "oh yeah, the bathroom is behind that scree-"he stopped as his eyes opened momentarily to take in the sight of the black haired girl clinging on to the sides of her shirt and pulling up.

"W-what are you doing!?" Hidan stammered as he put his hand over his eyes.

Sunnora looked up towards her master's direction, "I'm putting on the shirt you gave me Hidan-sama". She wasn't sure why his voice sounded weird like it had gone many octaves higher and the reason why he was covering his face, he was freaking out and she couldn't understand the reason behind it.

'Did I do something wrong?' she thought to herself.

Hidan felt a warm blush under his palm and tried to hide it with his hands as much as possible, he knew he was acting strange but he didn't know why. "U-use the bathroom you moron, don't you have any shame!?"

Sunnora looked in the direction her master was pointing to, and realized it was the area that was hidden behind the large screen. She was still concerned about her master and the reason behind why he was acting to strange but decided to change first and ask questions later. She nodded with a hum and walked away towards the screen.

Hidan listened closely as the light footsteps got further and further away and only let out a sigh of relief when he heard the door close.

Falling backwards on the bed, he landed with a light thud as his back made contact with the soft mattress. His arms sprawled away from his torso and he was having a hard time concentrating, he was sure he was contemplating what he was going to do after he inspected her arm but that thought seemed to vanish from his mind completely. Now he lay there unable to get the image of the girl's pale waist and back from his mind. It was like she was trying to seduce him but he found that hard to believe with how clueless she seemed most of the time.

'I don't get her at all', he thought as he closed his eyes and tried to think of anything else but her. He heard the bathroom door open and straightened himself out and sat down as casual as possible on the bed.

Hidan trained his eyes on her as she walked towards him. He had to admit to himself that she really was one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. Even wearing something as simple as a white T-shirt she still carried some sort of hidden elegance, even though most of the time it was pretty hard to notice, right now when she was quiet and the way she walked towards him with a look of indifference, it was pretty hard to ignore. He gulped at the tension he felt and felt a sense of relief when she smiled at him like always as she stood about arm's length from him.

"Thank you for letting me borrow this Hidan-sama", she felt the soft cotton texture under her fingertips and enjoyed the feel; it was definitely different from the leather she wore.

Hidan huffed and rolled his eyes, "yeah yeah whatever, it would be tough looking for any injuries on your arm if I had to work with that tight leather top you wear".

Sunnora thought about it for a moment, "well I could just have taken it off, you didn't have to go to all the trouble of getting me something else to wear Hidan-sama".

Hidan looked at her with bewilderment, "W-What are you talking about?!"

The girl looked at him a bit confused, she didn't see why he was freaking out about this.

Hidan didn't know why but he was feeling a bit irritated and in the spur of emotion he roughly grabbed her thin wrist and pulled her onto the bed.

Sunnora landed on her back, shock clearly making itself present on her face.

Hidan loomed over her, her wrist still pegged under his grip. She was about to speak when he did so first-

"You, you'd undress for anyone? Is that what you are telling me?" he clenched his teeth together as he spoke. "You would let anyone see you like this?" his grip was getting tighter but Sunnora looked up at him with a calm expression, never once showing a sign of pain or of being terrified.

Sunnora reached up with her free hand towards Hidan's face. Her fingers lightly tracing his cheek until her palm cupped the side of his face tenderly.

"Hidan-sama", she said in a soft voice, "please, I wouldn't do that in front of just anyone, I feel comfortable around you", she felt the grip around her wrist loosen slightly and the anger in his eyes cleared slightly as well, "I trust you, I know you wouldn't hurt me or betray me". Hidan visibly stilled at her words as she kept speaking in a whisper like voice to him, "You are the only person I feel I can really trust and I want you to have that same trust in me one day, there's so much I want to know about you and one day I hope that I can speak with you without any of the barriers that you put up".

Hidan's anger was dispelled and once clearly seeing in what kind of position they were in he jumped back and fell of the bed landing on his back.

"Hidan-sama! Are you okay?!" Sunnora rushed towards him and smacked her offering hand away.

"Listen to me, I'm still not sure what you really see me as but I'll tell you this again so you can get it through your thick skull, I am a criminal", he paused for dramatic effect, "you think I'm really all that different from that pervert Kisame or that nut job Deidara?" he stood up and looked down on the girl in front of him, "you can't expect to undress in front of me and not expect me to do anythin-"

"But you didn't"

Hidan grit his teeth and pushed her back on the bed. "Who says I won't do anything this time?"

Sunnora looked up at him again with a calm expression as if challenging him to do something. "I won't try to run away or scream for help".

Hidan felt challenged, he would seem like a fool if he backed out again after making such a threat, he looked down at the sprawled out girl on his bed and felt a sting of guilt wash over him, it was the first time he felt something like that but he had to do this to crush this girl's trust in him, he was a criminal after all, if he backed out now he would only be proving the girl's words true.

He placed his knees on the bed and loomed over her again, her eyes never leaving his. His hand grabbed the soft cotton around her stomach and pulled up slightly, he pulled until it was bunched up around her midsection, his fingers slightly felt the soft warm flesh of her stomach and he quickly grabbed the cotton of her shirt and pulled it back down, "I-I can't do this".

Hidan turned his gaze to anywhere but her and stormed out of the room.

"Hey Hidan, are you done already? That sure was quick dude, sucks for you". Kisame was waiting outside his door and his voice almost made Hidan scream.

"The fuck Kisame? What are you doing outside my room like a creep?"

"Tch-I hate that these rooms are soundproof so I couldn't hear anything but it seems like you're done with her so why don't you hand her to me now?"

Hidan frowned at the statement, "Kisame every time you speak you make me hate you even more somehow, and I don't plan on hanging her over to anyone, especially to you".

The blue man grinned showing his sharp teeth, "Oooh~ if I didn't know any better I would say you like her, suddenly acting like the protective boyfriend, you've never really been interested in women before so what is up with you now?".

Hidan dreaded those words and thought about what had happened in that room, he couldn't act like the bad guy even though he was one. The moment his fingers touched her skin he felt so much guilt, he was touching the girl that had placed so much of her faith and trust in him; he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"Shut your ugly mouth Kisame, I intend to send her back home like Pein ordered and I don't intend on letting you have your way with her, she's going back untouched, she saved me so that's the least I can do for her".

Kisame smirked and walked away but stopped mid step and looked over his shoulder, "Going back untouched huh? I'm sorry but I'm not letting that happen".

Well as you can see, I plan on making Kisame the biggest perv ever xD

Thanks for reading, I'll try to get the next chapter out soon
