Forgot to mention in chapter 1, the characters aren't going to be perfect copies of how they are in the manga or anime. I'm going to change characters like such as Pein to make them more funny or another reason like that.
"You threw him out?" Sasori said, raising an eyebrow. "Isn't that more likely to make him leave Hidan and go off on his own?"
"I know and I regret it now," Pein said, his head in his hands.
"I never thought you would do something like that," Kisame said. "Getting mad with a man over ninety, how are you gonna cope with everyone once we rule the world?"
"You should have let him get on our nerves so much that we did it," Deidara said. "Then we would have a chance of him coming back."
"I get it alright!" Pein yelled banging the table with his fist. "I get that I messed up!"
"You didn't mess up," Itachi said. "What you did was something so much bigger..."
"You chose this moment to speak?" Pein yelled. "Just shut up all of you!"
"But you're the one that's yelling..."Deidara muttered. Pein glared at the poor blonde.
"I have a bad feeling about this. Nobody follow Kakuzu, but if he isn't back in two weeks we're go and find him and Hidan," he said. "But if anyone hears anything, and I mean anything, tell me straight away. This isn't going anywhere good."
Kakuzu had reached the Land of Fire's boarder in three hours. The Land of Sound was staring at him. Now to find where Hidan might have been taken in the country. He searched until he found a main road. He backtracked a bit and performed a simple transformation. People tended to give you true answers and polite answers when you didn't look like an Akatsuki and didn't have a mask that covered most of your face. Acting as confident as he could, he started to walk towards the border checkpoint.
"Ah, sir. We need to see your passport..." one of the Konoha ninjas said as he walked past. Kakuzu turned.
"Oh! I left my passport back at the hotel, but I think my friend might have come this way. I'm just checking. Has anyone come through here by the way?" he said.
"Not today sir. Only a small group with a cart."
"You talking about those guys?" another ninja yelled, suddenly appearing. He turned to Kakuzu. "They had a caught missing nin. They produced the bingo book and everything. Picture matched perfectly, grey hair, sarcastic smile, the lot. Apparently his partner, to put it in their words, "an old man who's somehow able to stand up", got away, easily abandoning his partner."
Old man? Kakuzu thought. If he found those guys they were so dead. He was very sensitive about his age, even Hidan avoided the topic.
"I guess he didn't come this way," he said, sighing. "Sorry for bothering you guys."
"It's nothing. It's nice to have someone to talk to," one of the men said as Kakuzu walked away. The latter grinned, he had the information he needed so desperately. Hidan had come this way, he was being taken to that man. Now the question was, could he get to Hidan before Hidan got to that man? Only time would tell. He was out of sight now. He changed back into his usual self and jumped into the forest. The boarder wouldn't be heavily guarded, the Land of Sound was a very small country, not considered much of a threat by the Land of Fire with good reason. He would just need to check that there were no patrols quickly before he crossed. He checked the hundred meters around him quickly. No one was around. He quickly crossed the border and made his way back to the path, making sure he was away from the checkpoint. Now to just track down that cart.
Kakuzu had just made one of the biggest mistakes of his life.
Hidan had given up yelling after his voice had gone horse and his throat had been dry and raw. Now he was doing sit-ups, deciding that if he was stuck in a cell and he couldn't even get close to the door he might as well do something to pass the time, and training was a good thing to do. It was as if he had a Kakuzu in his mind, telling him to stay calm and not go mad. Hidan figured he wouldn't go mad if he was doing something that wasn't sitting and thinking. But questions still slipped into his mind, mainly "where the hell am I?" Hidan couldn't figure it out. He thought he was in a cave, because of the whole rock sliding thing. But he was stumped after that. This really was problematic.
"What would Kakuzu do?" he wondered aloud. The old man would probably sit down and wait for the best chance, but Hidan really wasn't a patient person. So he figured what else Kakuzu might do. Breaking the chains came to mind so Hidan sat up and looked around for anything he could use as a file or saw. There was nothing, not even a rock. There was a file in one of his shoes, but both had been taken away. Which left him with nothing.
"Oh come on, give me something!" he yelled to the heavens. "Even a pebble would be nice!"
Nobody answered of course, that would just be too good. God this was depressing, he was being driven insane and he had only been in the place for five hours or so. What would happen after six?
Back at the Akatsuki base, Deidara was acting depressed. Sasori had noticed it, the brat hadn't said anything about his art in two hours. And he was being perfectly quiet, and was lying on his bed.
"What's wrong?" he finally asked. Deidara looked over at him.
"There's no one close to my age that I can talk to," he whined.
"Itachi's closest to your age and he's here," Sasori said dryly.
"I said someone I could talk to," Deidara said flatly. "Itachi may be the closest in age, but I can't get on with him! Hidan was the second closest and he actually talked, even if half of it annoyed me! Kisame is the third closest but he's like 13 years older than me! Now that Hidan's gone, there's no one to talk to and annoy!"
"Then blow something up or something," Sasori said. "Besides, you've gone without talking without him ages before."
"Yeah...but it's like Pein said. I have a feeling that something's about to happen," Deidara said. "I'm worried."
