Chapter 14
Akatsuki's POV
Meanwhile as Itachi and Hinata went and looked for a house, Hidan, Deidara and Sasori were waiting to steal a semi-truck by the airport. As they waited, Hidan was jumping around in excitement. He couldn't believe this was his first job as a member of the family.
As he stood there all excited, Sasori thought why he was so excited and looked at him in disgust. He couldn't stand it. They were only stealing a semi, something he had done multiple of times. "Calm the fuck down!"
"Why you gotta be like that Sasori? I'm only excited." This only annoyed Sasori more. Before Sasori could scold Hidan, a semi pulled into the airport. They all sat against the back end of Deidara's car. As the semi-truck pulled in towards the small diner, they each pulled out a cigarette. They proceeded to carry a conversation as if they really were having one. The driver walked into the diner not acknowledging the three men outside.
"Lets go, before that guy notices." Deidara then proceeded to sit in the driver seat. While he was hot wiring, Hidan and Sasori went and opened the back. What they saw brought both of the men to a smile. In the back of the semi were flat screen TV's. The two men stepped into the back and hit the wall signaling Deidara to go.
At the signal, Deidara started the semi and they were out of there.
On the way to Kakuzu's club, Sasori was annoyed. He couldn't stand the new member. He kept on thinking how he was able to become apart of the family. Sasori thought that he couldn't take any job serious enough. He thought he was the joke of the family. How did someone so childish become a solider in the family? Everything about Hidan was immature, but then again, Tobi was a member.
The semi came to a halt notifying the men in the back that they were at the club. Hidan got out and Sasori followed. Kakuzu was already outside waiting for them. He was dressed in his usual pin stripped suit. The stitching scars were still as visible as ever, but he kept them in view to scare the people he dealt with. "So, what you get this time?" he still sounded as annoyed as ever.
"Flat screen TV's," Deidara answered with a smirk. Kakuzu nodded his head and headed back inside. Before completely out of sight he called out.
"Bring them to the back." With that, he was gone. Hidan and Deidara nodded. Sasori walked and followed after Kakuzu. One by one, they brought the TV's inside. When finished, they met up with Kakuzu and Sasori upstairs. Inside, they saw the two men sitting around the table talking with the boss, Pain.
When they saw the two guys entered the room, everyone went silent. Hidan and Deidara stood there in the awkward silence. They didn't know what to do, so slowly they started to make there way out. They felt as if they interrupted something important and thought that the job they did could wait. Once by the door, Kakuzu spoke.
"Were done here, right?" he asked Pain. They nodded and he got up from his chair and grabs a bottle of brandy. He walks over to the two guys. "Well lets celebrate a job well done Hidan." he said with a smirk.
Hidan had a wide grin come across his face. Before giving out the brandy, Kakuzu grabbed some shot glasses. One by one, he filled them up. Once they were all taken, Hidan felt a job well done.
"Well guys, I'm calling it a night." As Hidan was approaching the door, he thought of something. "Fuck it, let's go get laid Deidara." Deidara was kind of shocked in the sudden mood change in Hidan but he thought about it and also thought 'fuck it'.
They all had a few more drinks at Kakuzu's club, the two men decided that they were done there. Leaving the club, they decided to go to a whorehouse.
The following week, Itachi needed to talk to Hidan. They decided to go and meet up at the meat shop. When the two men both arrived, Itachi had Hidan follow him towards the back of the building. Locking the door after them, he stared at the sliver haired man in distress. Itachi really hated Neji. That bastard will pay for what he had done!
"You busy tomorrow night?" Itachi asked him. Hidan shook his head as he thought about it.
"Got nothing? Why?" he admitted blandly.
"You know Neji Hyuga?" Itachi asked with a raised brow.
"That bitch that ruffed up his niece or something." Itachi nodded. "What about him?"
"Yeah, do you think you can gather some information about him? Like where he lives and well... everything." Hidan nodded his head in agreement. Gathering information wasn't something he enjoyed, but he had to obey a captains orders. With the request he approached the door and before he unlocked it he asked.
"Why?"
"I'll tell you everything when you get the information." With that, Hidan unlocked the door and left the room. When he was outside, he groaned. Looking for information was not his thing. Not knowing who to call, he had no choice but to call Zetsu.
"What?" Zetsu answered angrily.
"I need some information," Hidan told him. Zetsu told him where to go and the two men hung up the phone.
When Hidan reached the abandoned apartment, he walked to the back. In the back, he saw an opened window. Following Zetsu's instructions, he crawled through the window. Once inside, the room smelled of mold lingered in the air and he was able to see it in the corners. In disgust, he walked out. Going to his right, he saw a closed door. Slowly opening it, he saw Tobi and Zetsu talking.
"Get out!" Zetsu scolded the man. When Tobi left, Hidan walked in right after and sat in the chair. On the table he could see stacks of hundred dollar bills. Zetsu sat down and continued counting it. He leaned in and asked, "So what do you need?"
"You know anything about Neji Hyuga?" the silver haired man asked. Zetsu stopped what he was doing and looked up at him.
"What do you need to know?"
"Where he lives, everything."
"Well for one, he isn't cheap. Kakuzu would know that. If he had a bounty on his head, it would keep you out of the streets for years. He married his high school sweetheart and has a kid with her. His wife's name is TenTen. Kid is Keiji I believe."
"How about his home, job? Tell me more about this asshole." Hidan said angrily.
"He lives in the suburbs. It's the only green house in that area. You'll see it once you go down LeNore Dr. His job, I don't know. What I do know is that he goes to Kakuzu's club at seven o'clock and meets Sakura. His lover."
"That it?" Zetsu nodded. Hidan left the building and called Itachi. Itachi told him that he was at his old apartment. Hidan went there and walked in with ease. Inside he saw him sitting at the table counting cash. Hidan went and sat at the table with him. He told him everything he found out.
With the information, Itachi nodded his head and asked, "What time is it?"
"Almost seven," Itachi told him that they were going to go to Kakuzu's place. When they arrived, they could already see Neji getting out of his car. Hidan ran out of the car and grabbed onto Neji. Itachi looked around and walked up to him.
"Who the hell are you guys?" Neji asked the two men. Instead of answering him, they dragged him into Itachi's car and threw him into the backseat. Hidan followed after him and put a gun to his head. Itachi looked in the mirror and saw an angry Hyuga. That bastard will pay he thought.
They drove to the outskirts of the city. Itachi thought of many ways on how to kill Neji. He didn't know whether or not if he should just shoot him. He also thought if he would just rough him up and leave him, but then he thought that would be very low of him if he had done the car came to a halt, they threw Neji out of the car. They pulled him up and Hidan pointed the gun to his head. "Hey, you bastard. Have fun fucking a slut then beating the shit out of Tenshi?"
Itachi put his hand up for Hidan to stop. Then slowly he grabbed a gun from the car and walked over to Neji.
"Did it feel good?" Itachi asked the man. Neji looked away. He was scared and did not want to die. Being put at gun point, he regretted everything. He wish he didn't hurt her. With the gun, Itachi moved Neji's head to face him. "Answer me you scum. Did it feel good?"
"No, stop please. I'm sorry, forgive me." Neji began to sob.
"If it were that easy we would have done that already. No, you fucked a slut and made Tenshi feel like shit. Feel good? No? You bastard, you did that all to yourself." Itachi hit him across the face with the gun. Hidan let go of him and he to also hit him with his gun.
"Why are you doing this? Stop it please. I'll do anything, please just stop." Neji at that moment sounded so weak and that made the silver haired man want to laugh. That didn't give Itachi to feel any sort of sympathy for the man though. What Neji did was unforgivable in Itachi's eyes. Itachi stopped Hidan from hitting Neji any further and lifted him to face him.
"You know what you're going to do?" Neji looked at him with a little but of hope in his eyes. "You're gonna get out of town and never come back. Hidan pass me that knife," Hidan complied and passed it to him. After grabbing the knife, Itachi cut off all of Neji's long hair. "Let's go Hidan. Neji if I hear you're back here, you'll regret it. That's a promise." They walked back into the car and left Neji in that deserted area.
Itachi dropped Hidan at Kakuzu's club and then goes home. Going inside, Hinata gives him a warm smile. He greets her with a kiss and a nod...
