In which Hidan hates on schnapps, Kakuzu does not show up to much disappointment, and the story takes an unexpected turn, at least to the author.

Glasgow smile (plural Glasgow smiles)

A facial scar received from being cut on the edge of the mouth, resembling an extended smile.

DRUNKEN SMILE

Hidan thought about not going to school the next day, just because he did want to see motherfucking Sai and Sai's motherfucking new boyfriend, but no he decided.

Skipping school because he didn't want to face his boyfriend was only something a pussy would do, and Hidan was no goddamn pussy.

So he woke up early and dug around in his closet until he realized the only alcohol he currently had was a half empty bottle of peach schnapps. He made a face but drank from it, reminding himself to obtain a manlier drink later.

He drank until he was just the right amount of warm in the stomach and fuzzy in the head, and then he went to school. He got there early for once and hung out outside of the school, his intoxicated brain pleased. He wondered if he would see Sai, but didn't. When the bell rang he decided not to go to his first class. Physical education was impossible to fail anyway, it was the only class he was making an A currently.

Instead he wandered around to the back of the school and sat there, not really doing anything, just smiling in his buzzed haze. He didn't know when but eventually he got bored and pulled out the bottle of schnapps he had hid in his backpack and took a swig, putting it away quickly, not wanting to be caught. Though, he thought with an involuntary chuckle, he was honestly more worried about being caught with such a girly drink than he was about being caught drinking at school.

Eventually the bell rang, and Hidan decided to go ahead and wander into school. He found his way to his next class, English, which he wasn't failing, more than he could say for most of his other classes.

He took his seat in the back, and luckily he knew they would be reading this period, from one of Shakespeare's worse plays in Hidan's opinion. But, they read out loud, and you had to volunteer to read, which meant Hidan would not have to do anything this period.

"Oh my god, what happened to your hand?" cried the girl next to him. Hidan turned sharply to look at her. She was an annoying blonde girl who was on the school's dance team, and therefore never talked to him. Her name was Yamanaka, or something along those lines.

He blinked, trying to process her question, which his brain apparently didn't want to do. "What?" he asked, wondering if she could smell the schnapps on his breath.

Her nose twitched and Hidan guessed she could, and really wished he had drunk something better than gay-ass schnapps.

"Your hand! It's like, all cut up!" she cried, pointing to his right hand. It was about then he remembered the gash he had got on his hand the night before.

"Oh, that," he grumbled hoping she would stop talking to him soon. "It's nothing."

She didn't, much to Hidan's annoyance.

"You should totally get that fixed up you know! It'll get all infected and stuff if you don't bandage it."

Hidan snorted and locked eyes with his desk. "You sound just like the scarred one."

The preppy girl blinked. "Do you mean Kakuzu?"

Hidan jumped and turned back to her. "You know him?"

She shrugged. "He's one of my friend's cousin."

Hidan looked at the girl for a minute, a plan forming in his not-quite lucid brain. Then he smiled drunkenly.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have a very pretty smile?" he asked, only thinking about Kakuzu's smile as she blushed and giggled.

END CHAPTER 7

Wow, I am writing Hidan as SO not likable.

So before any of you go, "Oh, Straitjacket, why is he sort of flirting with Ino at the end, this is supposed to be Kakuhida!", he is totally manipuating her. He manipulates people to get what he wants. With Sai he was manipulating Sai for sex (not that Sai minded,) now he is manipulating Ino to get to Kakuzu. I have not actually decided how far his manipulation will go with her.

I'm really making Hidan an asshole in this. Hrrrn, I'll try to redeem him a bit later. Keep in mind that he's a bit mentally unstable and is usually under the influence of something.

As for the booze, I'm not a drinker. I've heard from some peple that schnapps is a girly drink, I'm assuming because it's a liqueur. Hidan apparently believes this.

Review, please do not flame, I would like constructive critism though.
