Oh my God I'm so sorry for not updating on Friday! My Internet was fine for half an hour, then it didn't work for the rest of the day! I only got it working properly today! So that's why there are two chapters today. Enjoy!
"For the love of Jashin!" Hidan bellowed. "Can someone show themselves? I don't even care if it's a demonic cat wanting revenge, well actually I would care...but that's beside the point! Just let me know the world hasn't died!"
Of course, silence just had to reach his ears. "Seriously?" Hidan yelled. "Did everyone die or something?"
Silence.
"For fuck's sake, will someone fucking come?" Hidan screamed, turning and punching the wall.
It had been over eight hours easily. But it defiantly hadn't been ten. Eight to ten hours trapped in a cell. And Hidan had lost it. Screaming, he punched the wall again and again until blood dripped to the floor.
"I saw a figure who resembled Kakuzu vividly," Zetsu said. "Happy?"
"No," Sasori said.
"That's good because none of us are," Deidara said. "I mean, you just dragged all of us here, including Pein, who's still moody about the last meeting we held, were we all told him what he an idiot he was for throwing Kakuzu out."
"Do you need to constantly remind me?" Pein asked, danger in his voice.
"No," Deidara said. "Shall we move on?"
"Let's," Sasori said, sighing. "Alright, to put it simply, Orochimaru has had his ninjas kidnap Hidan."
"Wow that's really simple...wait, say what?" Pein said, yelling the last part. Sasori sighed.
"And this is why I try to keep it simple. Alright, we are all aware that Orochimaru is interested in immortality. Correct?"
"Yes," was the monotone reply.
"Good. This is good. Now, are we all aware of Hidan's immortality?"
"Yes."
"Right. And do we see how the two fit together?" Sasori asked.
"No, not really," Deidara said. "I think only Konan and Itachi understand really."
"It's true, sadly," Konan said. Itachi merely nodded.
"You're saying that Orochimaru had Hidan kidnapped so he could experiment on him and somehow become immortal," he said. Sasori nodded.
"Thank you for reminding me that there are some smart people here. Anyway, you hit the nail on the head first time. I've sent messages to my spies and they say that Hidan has been spotted with Sound Ninjas. Orochimaru doesn't like us, but he knows about us, and therefore knows about..." he trailed off as a look of horror came over his face.
"What is it?" Tobi asked. Pein realised it first. "Oh God," he said. "He knows about Kakuzu as well...and Kakuzu is going right to him."
"This is all your fault!" Deidara yelled, standing up and pointing at Pein. "You sent him after Hidan, you sent him to Orochimaru!"
"Will you stop bringing that up?" Pein yelled back. "You don't need to rub it in so much!"
"Yeah, guys, in case you haven't realised, Kakuzu is either in danger, or he's been caught, and Hidan has defiantly been caught. What the hell are we going to do?" Kisame asked, breaking up the argument.
"You're right," Pein said. "Go and pack for a long mission, all of you. I don't know how long, take a guess. Be ready in ten minutes."
Kakuzu had easily found the tracks from the cart, and had been following them for a few hours. Dusk had come, and Kakuzu stopped and watched as an owl passed overhead, scanning the path for its meal. A small grey mouse sprinted across the path and the owl dived, barely missing the mouse that had just reached the bushes on the other side of the road. If only Hidan had been like that mouse, evading capture.
…
He was comparing Hidan to a mouse. Oh God he was finally losing it, Hidan was finally making him go insane. He had to think about the bright side of things, that always helped.
Maybe Hidan had escaped, but Kakuzu refused to give him that much credit. Besides, Hidan couldn't tell left from right, he would have been easily picked up again. Which meant there was nothing positive to think about.
"Idiot!" he bellowed, startling the owl into flying away and causing every small animal (along with every large animal) in the surrounding bushes to run off, terrified of the giant. Angry, Kakuzu lashed out at a nearby tree, almost snapping it in half. He was fed up, completely tired of having to constantly break Hidan out. It was as if the idiot did it on purpose.
"You...you came."
Kakuzu stopped suddenly, remembering the words that Hidan had first spoken when he had been caught the first time. Why did he remember that now?
"Meh, I don't have to worry about being kidnapped, 'cause I know you'll turn up to break me out."
It couldn't be...did Hidan actually let himself be captured? Did he actually let something hit him in the back of the head, purposely take his time, just so he could be caught? Why?
