Sai noticed that Hidan was going over to the bullies who were picking on Akise. Sai had a confused face as he noticed that Hidan was going to try to stop the seniors.
"Stop hurting him!" Hidan yelled at the three bullies looked at him confused as they stopped pounding on him, but one still had his face to the ground by his foot.
"But why?" He hurt you" one of the bullies said as the other lifted his foot off of Akise's head. Akise barely moved his body but turned his head to see Hidan was in fact the one who was standing up for him.
"It was just a joke!" Hidan yelled
"But a harsh one at that" one defended and Hidan glared slightly
"Doesn't mean you can physically hurt someone!"
"But—" one bully started and Hidan sighed
"I admit it was a mean joke but" Hidan said looking to see Akise looking up at him confusedly and turned to the bullies, "But, I forgive him"
The bullies nodded in defeat and walked away after Hidan saying something on the lines of thanking them for standing up for him. Hidan turned to Akise and stuck his hand out and Akise took it confusedly
"Wh-why were you sticking up for me? After all I… done?" Akise asked and Hidan smiled and pulled him to his feet
"Because it's like I said; I forgive you" Hidan said and glanced at Kakuzu who was very angry and shook the fear he had away and looked to Akise who was slightly red
"Come on, I'll take you to the infirmary" Hidan said helping Akise inside the building to take him to the infirmary. Sai was very confused with the whole scene; especially when Hidan had a scared look after looking at Kakuzu so he looked to Kakuzu and realized why.
'That's why Hidan was…' Sai thought and sighed as he made his way to the very pissed off man; so pissed off he was shaking from it.
"Kakuzu?" Sai asked and Kakuzu looked to him with a harsh glare
"What is it?" Kakuzu asked in a furious tone and Sai sighed and looked up to him with a blank look
"Come with me, I need to speak with you alone" Sai said and almost demanded it as it was important and Kakuzu growled slightly but followed Sai. Sai led Kakuzu inside the building and to an abandoned room in the abandoned part of the school. Kakuzu leaned against the wall, crossing his arms and Sai glared at him
"Kakuzu why are you so angry?" Sai asked and sighed "Is it because of Hidan helping Akise?" Sai asked and Kakuzu growled angrily
"What do you THINK!?" Kakuzu barked out and Sai sighed
"I saw everything too and I admit I was shocked that Hidan decided to help him, considering what Akise had done to him. But you have to remember that Hidan had a good heart even to those who had hurt him before… like me before" Sai said and Kakuzu glared hard
"But HE HELPED HIM!" Kakuzu yelled and Sai glared at him
"Stop acting like that" Sai said and Kakuzu growled
"Acting Like what!?" Kakuzu yelled and Sai slapped him hard across the face
"You need to control your damn anger!" Sai yelled and Kakuzu glared at him while rubbing his sore cheek
"I am in control!"
"No you're not!" Sai said "I saw you; you were so furious you were shaking!" Sai yelled and Kakuzu remained silent for a few seconds before Sai sighed
"What do you think Hidan will do if he sees you like this?" Sai asked and Kakuzu froze slightly and Sai sighed
"…He hates people who can't control their anger. He experienced that enough with his father" Sai said and sighed "I saw Hidan's look when he looked at you after helping Akise… he looked like he was very scared"
Kakuzu had wide eyes as realization took the place of his anger and slowly narrowed his eyes to a sad glaze at the ground
"…You're right; I don't deserve Hidan" Kakuzu said softly with a sad smile and Sai looked at him with wide eyes
"Kakuzu I never said that; all I am saying is—" Sai started and Kakuzu shook his head
"Even if you didn't say it doesn't mean it isn't true" Kakuzu said sadly, sighing "I don't deserve him and you know it" Kakuzu finished before walking away from the room and Sai quickly walked to him
"Kakuzu… where are you going?" Sai asked nervously. Ignoring him, Kakuzu walked out of the building and Sai sighed sadly
"How am I going to explain this to Hidan?"
With Kakuzu, he started running down the street and slowly stopped in the middle of the pavement. Kakuzu had tears form as he thought of Hidan and then himself. Kakuzu sighed and looked down
'I really don't deserve him…' Kakuzu thought wiping the tears away.
"Well, well, well; if it isn't Kakuzu"
Kakuzu froze deeply as he recognized the voice somewhere before and slowly looked up to see a familiar figure, one that made his blood run cold as he took a step back
"D-dad…" Kakuzu mumbled nervously
"Yes, don't wear the name out. I hear you are gay… is that true?" he asked and Kakuzu had wide eyes as he remembered when he was little that he overheard his father say something about hating all homosexuals.
"H-how… how did you know?" Kakuzu stuttered backing up slightly and another man appeared behind Kakuzu
"That was because of me"
Kakuzu turned around to see Hidan's father and glared nervously
"What are you plotting?" Kakuzu asked and his glare turned to a suspicious one as Hidan's father, Nowaki smiled innocently
"I don't know what you are talking about" Nowaki said and Kakuzu took to note that Nowaki's innocent smile turned to that of an evil smile. Kakuzu then realized it was too late to do anything as his father came from behind and put a cloth over his mouth and nose.
"Mmph" Kakuzu mumbled as he soon realized the cloth was soaked with chloroform as it was starting to make him feel light-headed and his eyesight, blurry. Kakuzu saw the blurry form of Nowaki and saw that his mouth was moving but only heard the word 'Hidan'
'…H-Hidan…?...N….no' Kakuzu thought before falling unconscious.
With Hidan, he was sitting next to Akise on the bed in the nurse's office as the nurse was finishing up bandaging Akise's injuries. The nurse sighed and dusted her hands off
"All finished" she said and looked to the time and back at the bandaged boy, "Since class will start in 30 minutes or so, I recommend you staying here and resting until then" she said and Akise nodded
"Yes ma'am" Akise said and Hidan and he saw her leave the room. Akise then sighed and looked to Hidan
"Hidan…"
"Yeah?" Hidan asked looking at Akise to see him looking down at his hands that are on his lap
"I still don't get why you helped me" Akise said and Hidan sighed
"Because you don't deserve that" Hidan said and Akise looked at him
"But!" Akise said and looked down to his lap and sighed "But I did deserve that. The only thing I didn't deserve was your help… I mean I raped you" Akise said and looked to Hidan as he felt his hand on his shoulder
"Even so; I can't stand it when people are getting hurt because of me; like Sai and… like you" Hidan said
"But I hurt you; you… you didn't deserve anything I did to you" Akise said and sighed "I'm lucky enough that they are just kicking my ass… I deserve much more… I deserve death" Akise said and Hidan slapped him on the cheek
"NO Akise! NO one deserves anything you went through" Hidan said and Akise looked at him
"The same goes for you"
"…Akise" Hidan said and Akise looked to the time and sighed
"It's close to class time" Akise said and Hidan looked to the time
"What? I have to go" Hidan said and Akise got up and left with Hidan and got into the hallway
"Thanks for sticking up for me Hidan, even if I didn't deserve it" Akise said
"No problem; I'll see you in class" Hidan said and left down the other direction Akise was going to go. Hidan had to visit his friends before class started. Akise smiled slightly before walking down the hallway to class. His smile soon disappeared when he saw Kidd walk towards him with a smirk and saw a letter in his hands. Akise froze nervously as he saw 'To: Hidan, From: Dad' on the letter and watched nervously as Kidd passed him going in the direction Hidan was going. Akise glared slightly at the retreating boy, but walked off.
Before class, as Akise was about to enter his classroom when Sai walked to him glaring harshly.
"What did you do to Hidan?" Sai asked angrily shocking Akise
"What?"
"Don't play dumb!" Sai yelled
"I don't know what you are talking about Sai" Akise said and Sai growled before pulling him off into another room; an empty room and Akise was leaning on the wall as Sai was sitting on the desk next to him
"What did you do!?"
"I didn't do anything!... wait what happened?" Akise asked confusedly and Sai rolled his eyes
"Like you don't know"
"Well I don't! What happened?" Akise asked
"He ran out of the school a minute ago scared" Sai said and Akise glared
"And that's my fault!?" Akise defended and had wide eyes as to why Hidan may have ran out
"…Sai…did Kidd give him a letter?" Akise asked and Sai glared
"Yes, so you were involved!" Sai said and Akise shook his head
"No I wasn't and the letter….. Shit!" Akise yelled shocking Sai
"What?"
"I swear on my life that I want involved with this; not after he helped me. But after Hidan and I left the infirmary; we went different ways, and well… I saw Kidd with a letter. On front of it said it was from his father" Akise said nervously and Sai had wide eyes
"What!?" Sai asked and quickly took out his phone and called Kakuzu's phone and noticed the other line was off, and Kakuzu never had his phone turned off, at all. Sai sighed nervously and called Pein
"Pein, no time to speak, but please try to get in contact with Kakuzu" Sai said hanging up and sighed nervously
"Something happened" Sai said and bit his lip as he realized that whatever the letter said had something to do with Kakuzu.
"Sai, trust me, get your friends and get help. Since Hidan is slower than I am; I'll leave" Akise said and sighed taking his phone out "I'll call you"
Akise then ran out of the room; leaving Sai with no choice but to trust him. Sai then took out his phone and contacted his friends and let them on what was happening.
Akise ran out of the building and saw in a distant that a silver blob was running towards an abandoned warehouse. Akise then realized it was Hidan and took off after him.
With Hidan; Hidan was running towards the destination frightened out of his mind. The words of the letter kept playing in his head like an echo
Hidan,
We have your boyfriend. Now come to the Sakujo Warehouse (1), or else we will kill him
Dad
'Why!? Why now?' Hidan thought and bit his lip 'I will save you Kakuzu!'
With Kakuzu; he was nervous from what happened ten minutes ago and what is going to happen
10 minutes ago~
Kakuzu groaned and woke up in a warehouse in a sitting position against a wall and looked around until the blurriness from his eyes disappeared and heard evil chuckling. Kakuzu turned his head to see his and Hidan's fathers
"I see you are awake, that is good" his dad said smirking evilly and Kakuzu glared harshly
"What are you doing!?" Kakuzu asked and Nowaki chuckled
"Well we are going to use you to get Hidan here and—" Nowaki started
"And I will rape him" his gather started and Kakuzu had wide eyes, pulling his arms to notice they were hand cuffed to the wall and growled at the two men
"No you don't! I will never all—mmm!" Kakuzu yelled getting cut off by Hidan's father pulling a cloth in his mouth; tying it around his head to make sure it stays in place
"Can't have you say anything once Hidan comes here" Nowaki said and Kakuzu glared nervously.
"And you know what happens when I rape someone" Kakuzu's father said and Kakuzu had wide eyes remembering what happened with his mother
"Mmmm!" Kakuzu yelled pulling his arms in an attempt to escape and protect his boyfriend; "Mmm! MMM!"
"Shut the fuck up"
Present~
Kakuzu sighed; scared of what will happen to Hidan… he tried to get free but he couldn't because he was slightly numb from the chloroform. But he couldn't allow anything to happen to Hidan; his love. Kakuzu stayed silent as he was overhearing the conversation between Nowaki and his father
'I'm not rapping him'
'What…but'
'I am a huge homophobe; I am never going to rape a man'
This was relief for Kakuzu and he sighed
'Understood… so just kill Hidan'
That made Kakuzu have wide eyes as his blood ran cold
"K-Kakuzu?" Hidan asked coming into the warehouse and saw Kakuzu handcuffed to the wall.
"MMM! MM!" Kakuzu yelled trying to make Hidan go away
"Kakuzu!" Hidan yelled running towards him and stopped as his father came out; near Kakuzu
"Hello Hidan" Nowaki said and Hidan glared
"Dan what do you want?"
"Well you better not make any sudden movement; you don't want anything to happen to him, do you?" Nowaki asked pointing to the nervous looking Kakuzu.
"N-no" Hidan mumbled out, afraid of losing his lifetime love. Kakuzu had wide eyes as he saw, behind Hidan, his father standing with a gun 100 ft away, pointing the weapon towards Hidan's head
"MMM! MMM! MM!" Kakuzu yelled with scared looking eyed. All his thrashing made the cloth come loose and fell around his neck
"BEHIND YOU! BEHIND YOU! BEHIND YOU!" Kakuzu yelled and Hidan turned around to see another man having a gun pointing towards him. This made Hidan freeze in fear as the man got the gun ready; Kakuzu froze deeply
"NOOOOOOO!" Kakuzu yelled as his father pulled the trigger. Hidan had wide eyes as Akise ran in between him and the bullet, taking the bullet in his chest
"Akise!" Hidan yelled in shock and Akise gasped in pain before falling backwards. Hidan quickly caught him and laid him on the ground gently. Nowaki and Kakuzu's father took the initiative to leave. Hidan bit his lip seeing the other's bleeding chest
"Akise…" Hidan mumbled and looked to see Kakuzu who was stunned silent with wide eyes.
"H-Hidan…" Akise said coughing up blood and Hidan looked towards him with tears forming
"Wh-why?" Hidan asked and Akise clenched his teeth and eyes shut in pain as blood ran from his mouth down his chin. Kakuzu felt his energy come back and pulled his arms free from the wall and stood up taking off the cloth around his neck. Kakuzu then ran towards Hidan and Akise. Kakuzu wanted to hug Hidan and tell him that he was glad that he was alive and not hurt; but he couldn't… not now. Kakuzu knelt down to the injured boy
"H-Hidan…" Akise said half opening his eyes and looked to Hidan, who was teary. "H-Hidan… I'm sorry… f-for everything… I did" Akise said and Hidan bit his lip as the tears were falling
"Wh-why did you?"
"Y-you d-don't realize this… b-but I-I'm….I was… in love with you" Akise said coughing up more blood "B-but I t-took it the wrong direction" Akise grunted out in pain shocking the two.
"Wh-what?" Kakuzu and Hidan asked
"I-I was jealous… of… my dad… of Sai, and… Kakuzu….. anyone who came cl-close to you" Akise said coughing more blood up
"Stay still" Kakuzu said and put his hand on Akise's chest and put pressure in the bullet wound to make it stop bleeping; this coughed Akise to gasp slightly in pain and shut his eyes tightly. Akise them opened his eyes slightly and had a sad weak smile on his lips and looked to Hidan
"I-I'm sorry…Hidan. I-I—" Akise said and Hidan wiped his teary blurry eyes
"I-It's ok Akise, really… I forgave you" Hidan said softly and Akise shook his head weakly
"N-no… I deserved everything that happened to me... a-and will happen" Akise said and Hidan had wide eyes as he remembered what Akise said
'… I deserve death'
"You are not dying!" Hidan yelled as Akise looked to both Hidan and Kakuzu
"I-I'm sorry… Hidan and Y-you… too K-Kakuzu" Akise said
"Don't speak Akise, it will waste energy you need to stay awake" Kakuzu said
"…I…I'm…...sorry…..." Akise said before fainting and Hidan looked to Kakuzu afraid and had tears fall more
"K-Kakuzu… is… i-is he…?"
