Hey guys, It's Crillix here! Silver had gone to see her family for spring break, so sorry for updating so slowly. I hope all of you have had/are having a wonderful break as well! I haven't planned on going anywhere, but Silver has been coaxing me to at least go to the beach or something. (It's to cold.) but I just might have to.

Silver .:.:. Hey guys! :D I also want to apologize for the late updates, but I haven't been helping Crillix fully on the story and haven't been motivating her to do so. (When I got back she was sleeping on the floor; laptop on and playing Transformice. Lmfao.) We have been going through a little bit of a tough streak. Crillix has had her heart broken two days ago while I was away because of her stupid boyfriend. ( I am banning her from writing for now so she can relax and think everything over. Also, a couple of friends and myself have taken it upon ourselves to dish out a little revenge. :3 Teehee. ^.^ *Claps*) Here are more reasons why we are beginning to lag-
Updating our profile: Getting OC Character Bio's finished. It's not even close to being finished, and we will announce when it is.

Drawings: Crillix isn't exactly the "Artist" type, so I am drawing out characters with my trusty Bamboo Tablet and when that is finished they will be uploaded to Deviantart for all to see. I would like to do this so many of you can get a good image of what our characters look like.
Other Stories and Sequels: I know, we aren't even CLOSE to done with TOA, but we started on a sequel and I even started on a Pokemon FanFic. =w=" heeehehehehh…. Yeah… Well, it's actually easier to stay interested on a story when you have a few to work on really, because you can go from one plot, and when you're stuck, just finish writing a chapter for another one and so on. It's one of the only reasons we are continuing TOA and haven't gotten bored of it, because we have a sequel and I LOVE IT WITH EVERYTHING! _ I want to upload it as soon as possible because, I don't know if you guys would like it, but I do.
I think that's enough for one chapter, :3 Till next time Loveys~~

We do not own Naruto or any Original Characters

Chapter 14

"It will just take one moment." Kakuzu spoke with an annoyed tone. "You've already done your sacrifice, and we waited for you to do that."

"Bullshit! You and that little bitch left me in the middle of the fucking forest!" Hidan countered.

Cyn walked on the opposite side of Kakuzu, watching the ground as they walked. It had been going on for hours; Hidan mad about them walking ahead that is.

"You're the one that said the ritual was classified and didn't want inferior beings to witness it, Hidan." The Thread-Ninja's jade green irises bore down on the Jashinist; holding annoyance within them.

Hidan glared at his partner in return and grumbled. He couldn't think of a good comeback obviously, though after a moment he grumbled again. "You could have just fucking walked off or something and then fucking waited. Damn."

That was another thing Cyn noticed. About Kakuzu anyway. When her hand came in contact with his throat, she saw more that just his future. She saw everything.
The time he was abused by his village, and the reason for his deep hatred and greed.

Vumi and Anki had shaken violently the more she pondered on Kakuzu. He was really an intriguing person and that was why she thought more and more about him. Though others could only see the dark front he was now, the pinkette could see the small fragment of love and care he still had within his real heart.

"Just shut up and wait for me." Kakazu looked down to the only female on the team; the shortest person on this team. Cyn raised her chin to come eye to eye with him, and her pale bangs hugged loosely to the right side of her face as she did so. They stared for a while with emotionless orbs locked with one another and stayed silent. The contact was finally broken when the girl turned away from him and headed to the building; only to disappear from them both.

It was different than her usual teleportation jutsu. Her body had apparently crushed itself into tiny shards of pink diamond that headed floated high within the air until she then reformed. Cyn stood very high above their heads; seeming to take a post in the air as lookout.

"No fucking reason for that." Hidan muttered to himself about the girl.

As Kakuzu disappeared into a white-painted building, the silver haired Jashinist sat himself on a step in front of the door. The unforgiving sun heated his exposed skin and began to darken it slightly the longer he sat there waiting. Hidan grumbled and fussed quietly at his partners lack of swiftness; he was cooking out here!

He craned his neck, popping a few bones in the process, upwards to the sky. The bright star that was casting its magnificent, life-giving warmth stung his violet orbs and forced his hand to give them some relief by covering them slightly.
If he was this hot, just standing on the ground, he couldn't imagine how the girl was standing so high; much closer to the raging pit of fire than he was.

A footstep from behind caught his attention and made his head lower. "Kakuzu. Fucking took you long enough."

Just as he was about to speak again, the sound of metal scrapping against metal rushed to his ears; causing him to snap his head behind to see a Leaf shinobi beginning to throw a couple of shuriken his way. Hidan stood quickly and grabbed the hilt of his three-bladed scythe and whirled the blade around. It's rope-like handle extended the tri-blade and knocked the opposing weapons away from him; one close to the shinobi's cheek which had embedded itself into the wall behind.

Hidan twirled the hilt around and forced the blades to move to the Leaf ninja. The man moved quickly with a grunt as the red and silver weapon was stabbed into the ground where he had just occupied.

Two others began to close in on him; the silver haired male grunted after noticing he wasn't able to move.

"To slow." He heard a boy's voice say with over confidence.

Blades were forced into the sides of the Jashinist, and the first man from before began to snicker. "That's one of them down. One more to go."

The three Leaf shinobi began to smile widely as the feeling of victory spread through their bodies. They all looked to one another; showing their happiness at the fact they had already taken a member of the Akatsuki down with such ease.

"That fucking hurts." Hidan grumbled with an annoyed tone. "Who the fuck are you stupid bastards anyways?"

Shock covered the Leaf shinobi quickly when the Jashinist spoke.

"He shouldn't even be standing." The male to his left spoke in a hushed, but shocked, voice. "We hit him without fail." His arms trembled slightly.

Hidan growled and glared between them both. "Quit fucking sticking it in like that."

Both began shaking slightly; causing their blades to cut in deeper ever so slightly.

"I said to fucking stop you fucking stupid bastards- that hurts like a bitch."

"Is he immortal?" The one to his left stared with empty eyes. "What is this?"

Hidan growled and attempted to move on his own with no avail, noticing the dark shadow that was attatched to his own by a fourth shinobi that took refuge on the roof of the collection office. "Isn't that fucking obvious you fucking moron? Now, one more damn time, who the fuck are you stupid bastards?" He looked between the four when they didn't answer him for the second time. His enchanting violet orbs landed on a piece of cloth that was tied around the waist of the first Leaf shinobi that had attacked him. "So you were a member of the Guardian Shiobi," He paused for a moment. "Something or whatever. Great. Just fucking great." He growled even more annoyed. "Now I'm going to have to fucking wait even fucking longer at this damn collection office." A loud and miffed groan came from him.
A hard stare landed upon Hidan from the Guardian Shiobi. "We are shinobi of the Leaf. We have orders to either capture of eliminate you Akatsuki members."

Hidan looked on in wonder. He couldn't move, so there was no real point in really paying any attention at the moment.

"We know enough about you Akatsuki to know you operate in pairs. Our plan was to kill one of you and take the other back for interrogation," The old shinobi took out a pair of Knuckle Knifes and posed into a fighting position. "but it looks like the plans are just going to have to change."

The Jashinist began to chuckle softly at his words. "Well, it doesn't fucking look like your lucky fucking day. You fucking chose the wrong fucking one to start with."

"Where is your partner?" The first man demanded.

A loud crash boomed from the roof which was followed by rock debris from the building itself. The three others watched with widened eyes as their friend was pursued by Kakuzu.
The shadow that had been controlling Hidan was gone and allowed him to move freely in result. "I can finally fucking move now." He grinned darkly.

Kakuzu closed in on the Shadow-Ninja quickly, and just as he was about to strike was forced to a stop by the man wielding Knuckle Knives. "Retreat Kotetsu, Isumo!"

Once the names were called, the two that had stabbed blades into Hidan quickly moved out of arms reach from the Jashinist. The four Leaf shinobi gathered together away from the two Akatsuki with a quick jump, and held fighting positions.

"The man with the sash, in the front. For once you were actually useful. You've struck gold Hidan." Kakuzu looked to his partner with light green eyes.

The silver haired ninja retracted his scythe and held part of its hilt firmly in his fist. The rope between seemed to snake freely above. "Stay the fuck out of this Kakuzu. This is my damn fight and I want the other three fucking bastards for my ritual. You can have the fucking leftovers."

"Fine." The Thread-Ninja agreed in his usual mono-toned voice. "Don't get careless, or I will kill you myself."

Hidan slid his left foot to the side and in a circular motion; leaving behind a red colored ink that came from the bottom of his sandal. "Not that bullshit again. Fucking knock it off."
He then began to draw lines within the circle he had previously created with his foot. "I wish someone would fucking kill me already," He was posed with his left foot far behind him and his right holding most of his weight. Within the circle was a triangle, drawn with the same colored ink. "but as you damn well know, that's not fucking possible."

"Distract Mr. Diagram Immortal with your Shadow Stitching while I attack head on. Capture him. Even if it's only for a moment, it will be enough for me to take him down."

"You're crazy."

"I'll go in and attack with you." The one known as Kotetsu offered.

"No!" The eldest of them said. "It's the only chance we have. These two might be stronger than I am, but we need to make sure the guy is secure. Kotetsu, Izumo, cover Shikamaru and make sure that they don't get near him."

"Wouldn't it be better to retreat for now and regroup with the others?" Izumo suggested.

The first man clenched his Knuckle Knives tightly. "You really think the Akatsuki are just going to let us get out of here without a fight? If we don't finish them here and now, we're going to be the ones that are finished. We would be leaving Konoha in even greater danger if we did."

"Have you fucking idiots finished planning yet? Fucking pests. Poking me with your damned little blades right and left." Hidan gathered the four pairs of eyes back to himself. He held his scythe loosely now. "We have a damn good way of fucking showing those who don't fucking understand the pain of others."

.:.:.:.

"Should I help them?"

She watched from high above the newly made battleground.

"They don't even know I'm here. I could easily take them all out."

Two violent shakes from within made her frown deepen.

"Alright, I will not."

The wind blew her long, pale-pink hair softly to the right as the sun was beating down on her. A thin and flexible layer of diamond was protecting her from the heat by reflecting the sun's rays off of her. The wind that was blowing was keeping her cool as well. A small breeze picked up; causing her hair to dance around as Cyn looked below.

Her black-clouded eye blinked along with her yellow as she watched a small battle unfold beneath her.

"It won't be long now." She blinked again.
