The priest trudged through the tall grass with the small potted plant, cursing under his breath all the while, "It's been a whole fucking day so far and still fucking nothing! Stupid fucking plant!"
He slumped under a tree to take a break, exhausted from searching none stop since yesterday and ran a hand through his hair, "Where the fuck is she?"
Closing his eyes he let out a heavy sigh, deep in thought why everything seemed to happen to her. She's jinxed like me I guess, we can never catch a break when something fucking happens!
It became noon rather quick, so Hidan stood up and continued his search, determined to make whoever is responsible for all this fucking drama a sacrifice to Jashin-sama.
*Olivia spent the rest of yesterday and this morning moping around the lush room, angry with Axel but mostly herself. How dare he kiss me but why didn't I stop him!?
Hitting the pillow in frustration his words still lingered in her head. It was killing her. She knew they loved her but it's just those two would never tell her why they refused on marriage.
It had always been her dream to get married to someone she loved, but it's not going to happen it seems. Why am I so weak and doubting myself all of a sudden?
Her parents showing up, bringing back all those pained memories and now the new events coming into play….it was far too much to cope with. No wonder she wasn't in her right state of mind and subconsciously reverted back to her old timid self.
That would explain it but, I can't believe I'm even considering going through with this. I don't love him so what do I do? He'll make me regardless even if I do say no.
*Right when noon came, she had no time to be depressed any longer, the elder servant and a younger one came in with a wedding dress for her to try on.
Olivia scowled the entire time being fitted, gasping when a corset was put on her and tightened, and being jerked around like a doll until they were through.
The woman wheezed, "I can't breathe!" "Nonsense miss, now give us a turn." She stiffly wobbled around, almost like a penguin, barely able to move at all whining, "I can't move!? It's too tight."
The elder snorted, "Hush, it looks lovely on you; however, I believe an open neckline would suit you better." The younger girl nodded, "I agree, plus her face is getting red Ma'am."
"I see what you mean, alright, let's go fetch the other." "Yes Ma-am."
Instead of getting that dress off her they left, leaving Olivia with her mouth hanging open and in shock. "Well that's not right!"
Before she could call them back, she then heard voices coming closer to the door, one sounding like that medical nin when she woke up after being injured. Curiosity overtaking her she waddled to the door to eavesdrop as they went past.
"Are you sure she won't notice the operation sir?" The medical nin sighed, "I assure you she doesn't have the faintest idea. The only thing that may have given it away is a small side effect of a mild stinging sensation between the legs."
Olivia went pale and pressed her ear even harder against the door, "I understand sir, but if I may ask, why that procedure?"
The other chuckled, "You still have a lot to learn lad, it makes perfect since. When a man and woman are married, they both are usually virgins, and you should know what happens on a wedding night." "Oh now I get it, even though she's not truly a virgin though."
The woman felt like she was going to be sick, so all those odd/uncertain feelings she had, getting bothered and flustered when Axel kissed her…..her body screamed virgin!?
Wiping the sweat from her brow she murmured, "It all makes sense now. I was promised to him when I was a virgin and they tampered with my body to make it close enough! Those sick fucking bastards! No wonder my hormones are so confused than ever and I was easily moved by him."
Anger and determination overtook her senses and her thoughts became clear once again.
Like hell am I going down without a fight! They can't make me marry him! I love Kakuzu and Hidan and going home!
Jerking her arms forward strongly she ripped the seams in the dress in several places and finally regained movement, running out the door past the servants since the maids left the door unlocked.
Those two anbu were right on her heels as she knocked over anything she could to stop them, rushing out the door and jumping on the horse that was already in the driveway.
Olivia didn't have time to be scared since she never been on a horse in her life, but this animal was much faster than she was so maybe now could get away.
Galloping straight into the woods she feel them getting closer, actually recognizing the area when she escaped the first time.
At least she got much further past the spot she was when the taller ninja tackled her from the side, the horse continuing to run without the rider, as he tried to twist her arm behind her back when she bit him.
"NGH!" She quickly kicked him in the crotch as a last resort but the other caught her as she yelled, "LET ME GO!"
A quick jab to the neck with an injection made her collapse, the pursuit of escape once again been foiled.
*Hidan turned his head when the sound of a yell echoed throughout the area, furrowing his brows in deep thought but ignored it; that is until Kakuzu appeared out of the brush with the same expression.
"No luck old man?" "No. I didn't figure she'd be taken this far out." "Me neither, but something's off."
The miser nodded, "I know. I just came across a stallion without an owner." "Eh? Really?" "Yes, it's saddled but what I find odd is that it was running at top speed from that direction."
He pointed southwest and Hidan muttered, "I fucking heard a yell from that direction. Do you think it's her?" "Probably not, but let's investigate all the same."
*Axel rubbed his temples angrily, after lecturing his hired help for letting her escape a second time, as he trudged down the massive hallway and asked one of them, "Where is she now?"
"In her room heavily sedated my lord." "Very well, you're dismissed." "Sir."
Entering the room he observed the woman on the bed, now clad in the nightgown.
Brushing back a few loose strands from his forehead he murmured, "You have a stronger will than you once had Olivia, and that proves a problem for me but no matter, you will be cooperative in the morning without a doubt. I haven't waited this long to lose what's rightfully mine."
Turning on heel, he left to attend the other preparations for the wedding.
*The sun was beginning to set and getting hard to see the hoof prints.
"Hidan, let's camp here tonight and continue when dawn comes." The priest looked around with a frown, nodding to the agreement, helping his lover with the fire.
They both looked up at that starry sky, which would've seen more peaceful if not their lover was taken.
"Hey Kuzu? I've been wondering about that nightmare she had, it's not fucking true is it?" "I don't know Hidan, but judging from what's happened so far it's a high possibility."
The jashinist bit his lip muttering, "No fucking way am I letting some other fucking bastard marry my woman." "The feeling is mutual, but let's try to get some sleep. We need it."
*Hidan tossed and turned most of the night until the sunrise was just about to peer over the horizon when he stretched and sleepily picked up his plant to continue walking along the horse's tracks.
Within five minutes he yawned when he heard a small noise. Beep. He thought he imagined it and kept going, the noise on the plant getting more frequent as he shouted, "KAKUZU WAKE UP! I FOUND HER TRAIL!"
The miser appeared next to his side in the blink of an eye, when the beeping grew even louder so they stopped to look around. "She was fucking here!" "Look around for anything that may be hers."
The sun rose a tad bit more and a small glint of something caught Hidan's eye, warily kneeling down and rubbing off the dried mud on it with a loud murmur "It's her ankle bracelet."
Kakuzu observed the small Jashin symbol on it so there was no doubt it was hers. "She was here old man!" The miser grunted, "If that's true then she must've been on the horse, but why didn't these damn plants detect her scent."
"I don't fucking know! Maybe her scent wore off during the day or the horse's smell overpowered hers!" "Let's just move."
They didn't even get a few long strides when Kakuzu noticed a strange marking on a nearby tree. "Hidan stop." "What!?"
"Look." Engraved in the bark was a circle with an upside down triangle and Hidan beamed, "That's my babe!" "Clever."
There was no time to waste, they signaled the others with their communication devices and ran at top speed towards that direction.
All hell is going to break lose once they reach their destination without a doubt.
