So... LOOK I UPDATED VAMP!! GASP!! Innocence ch. 7 will be done by tomorrow. I promises. Uh, so in this chapter of VAMP I have heavily implied Kisame x Hidan. OH WOW. Yes I can imply things, cause I'm cool like that. Nothing really happens though, so don't get your hopes up. There will be some Deidara x Itachi in later chapters though, because of the way I've set up the Vampiric relationships. Refer to the previous chapter for info. on that. Also, Hidan and Kisame tease Konan a little in this chapter tee-hee! Poor, poor girl. I love Kisame. He's so... MWAH!!

Chapter 4: First time for everything

Hidan blinked at her, "... what?"

"Will you tutor me?" she asked again, taking a deep breath. He straightened, and stared down at her big, pleading amber eyes. He looked at the teacher, and saw that the old man was fighting against a smile.

'Ah. So it's his fault.'

Hidan smirked at her, "okay. I'll do it," he leaned closer, eyebrow raised, "you were going to ask me yesterday weren't you?"

Konan released an exasperated "yes" before tugging on his shirt collar and asking him to explain the process again so she could be sure her "brain would eat it". Hidan mentally sighed, 'this is going to be a long day.'

The day was long and boring, in Hidan's opinion. Konan came up to him at lunch to see if today would be alright for him to tutor her, which he said was fine.

"I could use the company," he'd told her, and she'd smiled, and he'd decided that he liked her smile. Currently, he was tapping a pen on Madara's mask, who was not impressed with him in the least. Kakuzu was holding onto the little man, so Madara couldn't jump on Hidan's face and cling stubbornly to his cheeks. Konan cowered behind Hidan's arm and stared at Madara, who regarded her - if he actually was, that is. Hidan looked over his shoulder at her.

"Konan. I don't see why you're so frickin' scared of him. He's just a... a miniature person! Seriously!"

She pouted at him, "can we go now?"

He frowned, then looked up as Kisame appeared, "she wants to freaking go. Now."

Kisame arched an eyebrow, then nodded his head, "well run along then," and as Konan happily headed to the door Kisame leaned down to whisper in Hidan's ear, "either she really wants to learn or she wants to be alone with you."

Hidan fought against his blush as Kisame chuckled. The silver haired Vampire stood and strode out the door, almost bumping into Konan in his haste. He stared at her for a moment, then continued walking to the gate. She followed him, and after a moment asked, "how are we going to get to your place?"

Hidan looked around, then crouched. He looked over his shoulder at her, "get on."

She blinked at him then glanced at his back, "are - are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm seriously serious. Get on my back. I'm gonna' run."

Konan whimpered lightly and adjusted her bag, before climbing onto his back. He wrapped his arms around her legs and took off. She released a small shriek, and clung to him with all her might - Hidan was so glad he didn't choke easily. It was a thirty minute run from the school to his home, and he hated the fact that he had chosen to take the long way home.

'I'd rather not have to deal with Pein and them, though,' he shuddered at the thought of running into Pein with the man's ex on his back. That would not rest well with the fiery human. He turned sharply around a corner and Konan muffled a screech. He couldn't help but chuckle a little, and in retaliation she tightened her hold on his neck. He choked, and she loosened her hold, almost reluctantly.

Hidan was relieved to finally see his lovely home, and he set Konan down once they got to the door.

"Gimme a minute," he informed Konan before shifting through the door. He unlocked it and then pulled it open, gesturing for her to come inside. She stared, surprised by the outer look and the contrasting inner extravagance.

"Wow, uh... the outside totally doesn't do the inside justice."

"My room doesn't look this nice."

"Why not?"

"Didn't want to waste time on it. I mean, seriously, it's just a room it doesn't... need to look nice or anything," he replied, heading up the stairs. Konan followed him, still taking in the size of the home.

"This place is huge!" she exclaimed, stopping at the top of the stairs. Hidan chuckled and continued into his room, flipping the light switch downwards. His room was illuminated by the dull yellow light of the ceiling light, and Konan walked in a moment later. She froze, blinking at the sparsity in Hidan's room. He burst into laughter.

"You look surprised, Konan. I hope you weren't expecting much, seriously."

"Well, I was expecting more than this," she swept her arm around the room, starting at the bed and ending at the couch, "all this space and you've done nothing with it."

"Hey, it gets pretty crowded when the guys decide they want to have an impromptu sleepover."

"Why not crash at Kisame's?" she asked, setting her bag down next to his desk and pulling out her textbook. Hidan took his bunny hug off and tossed it onto the bed.

"Kisame lives in a damn mansion. He doesn't let us crash there. Well, okay, that isn't true. He let's me crash there," he explained to her, rubbing his neck. She didn't reply, and he opened his closed eyes to see that she was staring at his torso. He smirked and waved a hand, "yo, Konan. Pay attention."

She blushed furiously and glared at him, before burying her nose in the textbook. He stared at her for a moment before approaching the couch on the other side of the room, "you want me to put a shirt on?"

"If you don't want me to get distracted, you should," he heard her mumble quickly. He smirked; she probably thought he didn't understand her. He lifted the top of the couch to get to the storage compartments beneath and pulled out a navy t-shirt, tugging it over his head as he approached her. He hopped onto the desk, making her jump.

"Okay," he gabbed the textbook when she showed it to him and pointed, "let's have a look-see. Hm."

He lay down on the desk, propping himself up on one arm, his eyes jumping all over the two pages. He set the textbook down in front of him and turned it so Konan could follow along. He began explaining to Konan the differences between the isosceles, equilateral and right angle triangles.

After five minutes he noticed that she looked hopelessly lost. She glanced innocently up at him, "I'm... lost."

"Wait, let me guess. I lost you at equilateral."

"... yeah. Tell me again?"

He sighed and laughed at the same time before repeating, "equilateral triangles, have equal angles and sides. So this side, this side and this side all equal the same thing, seriously."

"So if this side was five inches," she said, tracing the bottom of the triangle diagram, "then these two sides also equal five inches?"

"Yep."

"And all the angles would equal sixty degrees if this angle equaled sixty degrees."

"Dead on. Now an isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles. The base of the triangle and the angle where the two side lines meet are different."

She stared at him for a moment before staring at the diagram, sketching with her finger on the desk. Her face lit up and she smiled at him.

"I get it!"

"Great," he congratulated, shaking his head a little at her, "now as for solving for an angle..."

As he explained the formulas she constantly asked him to repeat things. The only thought going through his head was, 'this is going to be a very, very, very long night.'

They didn't finish until eleven, which was about the time Kurenai arrived home. She was startled to find that Konan had been there since four.

"What are you doing?" she asked. Hidan gave her a look, "I'm tutoring her. In Math."

"Why?"

Before Konan could speak Hidan said, "because she fails it."

Konan punched him in the arm and he grinned at her. Kisame walked in after Kurenai and nodded at Konan, "I'll drive you home, kid. The streets aren't safe. Vampires running around, you know?"

Konan looked down at her feet, "yeah I know. Thanks."

"No problem," Kisame headed back out the door. Konan hurried after him and called to Hidan, "same time tomorrow?"

"Yeah sure."

As Kisame and Konan left Kurenai raised an eyebrow at her ward and crossed her arms. Hidan gave her an innocent look, "what?"

"Are you on the desk like that for a reason, young man?"

He blushed furiously at her implication and quickly explained, "it's easier than standing behind her, seriously!"

Kurenai merely laughed as Hidan jumped off the desk and spun her around, pushing her out of his room and slamming the door. This made her laugh harder and she heard him whine from inside.

"Oh, he is just too cute..."

--

Two weeks had passed since Hidan had first agreed to tutor Konan, and every time he saw her with another man he had a compelling urge to wrap his arms around her and say "mine".

'This is so friggin' ridiculous!' he growled to himself, fidgeting in his seat. Konan was merely talking to their teacher Ibiki about some things, and Hidan felt the need to protect her, or something along those lines.

After school on a Friday, Hidan grabbed Kisame's sleeve as the blue Vampire was leaving the house to get Konan from her house - she had gone home early to do something for her mother.

"I need to talk to you. So Konan needs to stay in the car for a few minutes, seriously."

Kisame blinked at him then realized what Hidan was saying, and understood immediately, nodding before heading toward the car and mumbling, "I knew this was going to happen eventually."

Hidan wondered what he'd meant by that, but shrugged it off and flopped onto one of the many bean bags in the living room. He turned on the T.V and stared blankly at the screen. The news was currently on, and Hidan flipped the channel, mumbling about how that particular news channel always tried to make Vampires look bad. He sighed when he found that the news was playing on all the channels except for the movie channel. Hidan, however, was not interested in the movie channel at all.

'No harm in trying it, seriously.'

So he flipped to the movie channel and leapt backwards off the bean bag in surprise. He landed behind it and crawled up to the bag, peeking fearfully over the edge. His eyes widened, and his ears were being filled with the sounds of gasping and moaning. He grabbed the remote and shut the T.V off, blinking continuously at the black screen, his face scarlet.

The front door opened and Hidan knew Kisame was surprised to find that Hidan was gripping the remote tightly in both hands, knuckles white.

"So..." Kisame appeared under Hidan's hands, making him jump, "what was on?"

"Uh... uh... uh... nothing!" Hidan exclaimed running off with the remote. Kisame stared after him, and watched as Hidan ran up the stairwell and draped himself over the edge of the railing in the hallway. Kisame's eyes narrowed.

"You'll most likely fall."

"I know, seriously," Hidan turned the T.V back on and hit three, then shut it back off again. Kisame gave him a confused yet irritated expression.

"What on earth are you doing?"

"I'm, uh, fixing the T.V."

"Right. Don't make me come up there and search your brain for the real answer."

"Wah!" and Hidan fell over the railing and landed unceremoniously on the couch. He had his eyes shut at the slight pain and suddenly he felt Kisame stroking his face. He cracked an eye open and released a squeak before scrambling into a different position, keeping his eyes shut tight. Kisame started laughing, "relax, Hidan."

"Oh, I am sure as hell not going to relax while you've got your mind reading eyes flaunting right in front of my face, seriously!"

"... that's the longest sentence you've said all day."

"... so?" Hidan mumbled, cracking open both eyes. Kisame arched an eyebrow at him, "come now, Hidan. Stop being so shy."

This made Hidan's face turn red again and he fully opened his eyes, turning his face away. Kisame grabbed his chin and jerked him into a standing position, which brought Hidan right up against Kisame's body. Hidan's hands were twitching at Kisame's wrist, his eyes shut tightly again. Kisame's breath flitted over Hidan's face.

"Well, tell me then."

"Haa, well, it was a – a movie, t-that, I-I dunno, it was e-erotic or s-something, ah."

"Hm... poor you. Doesn't help your current situation does it?"

Hidan shook his head. Kisame released his chin and Hidan stumbled back, collapsing onto the couch. Kisame sat down next to him, his face wearing a thoughtful expression. Hidan looked at him expectantly.

"Man, how can I explain this to you? You're getting attached to Konan. You start feeling like she belongs to you and only you. That's the way it is with Vampires. Take Itachi and Deidara for example. If a girl shows a keen interest in Deidara, and flirts with him, Itachi will get jealous and defensive, and therefore he'll hold Deidara's hand or play with his hair to say, 'he's mine. Don't touch him'," Kisame shrugged, "until you bite her, you'll act this way."

"... what? What?! Until I bite her? I'm not going to freaking bite her!"

Kisame scratched his head, "that's what I thought you were gonna' say," Kisame looked thoughtful again, "you remember how I would always act so strange when guys got so close to Kurenai?"

Hidan wrinkled his nose, "how could I possibly forget, seriously?"

Kisame chuckled, then continued, "basically the same thing is happening to you now. So unless you bite her..." Kisame shrugged, "I guess it's safe for me to say now that you're falling in love with her."

At this Hidan blushed furiously, "I – I am not!"

"Yes, you are."

"No I'm not!"

"... you know, I'm not even going to try and argue with you."

"You are no fun, seriously."

Kisame chuckled again then stood and stretched, "well, I'll go get Konan, then."

Hidan blushed again and retreated up the stairs. Kisame laughed and strode out the front door.

A moment later he returned with Konan in tow. He kept on shooting her a curious look, and so Hidan imitated him and gave her a curious look too. She looked exasperated by this, "what is this, give Konan the curious look day?"

Hidan laughed, "no, actually, I'm just curious as to why Kisame's curious, that's all, seriously."

She stared blankly at him and then pushed past him into his room. Kisame leaned down slightly to whisper in Hidan's ear, "she wanted to ask the both of us a question."

Hidan shrugged and followed Kisame into the room, where they found Konan nibbling on her nail. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, "so, I'm kind of uncomfortable asking this question but, it kind of sprouted from something that Itachi told me about your relationship so... um... well..." she took a deep breath then blurted out, "don't get mad at me for asking, but have you two ever kissed before?"

She bit down on her lip, amber eyes darting between the two. Hidan and Kisame blinked at her several times before they both burst out laughing. Her face turned scarlet, "what? What's to f-funny?" she demanded. Kisame managed to catch his breath first.

"Oh, oh that was funny. Oh gee... Ha! Why are you asking?"

"'Cause of Itachi..."

"You seen him and Deidara before, eh?"

Her face turned even more red than before, "I'll take that as a yes. Oh man. You know, no we haven't but..." Kisame glanced at Hidan, who glanced at him and then finished, "we always had this thought that our first kiss would be in front of a girl, seriously," and then he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at Konan.

"Y-you say that like it's a natural thing."

"Well, that's exactly it, Konan. For Vampires, anyway, it is natural but... nah. It wouldn't happen."

"Why?"

"'Cause I wouldn't let it."

Konan gave Kisame a skeptical look, but then she said, "but like, I've seen – or rather heard of – fathers and sons and friends giving pecks."

"Well, yes, that does happen. Sometimes it's culture, sometimes it's just impulse. Same thing with girls. And mothers and sons and daughters."

Konan smiled at him, then looked down at her Math work. She raised her head again though, probably not wanting to look at all the red marks, "would you ever, though? With Hidan I mean?"

Kisame and Hidan stared at each other before Kisame looked back at Konan, "I dunno. It depends."

"Hm."

"... you'd like us to, wouldn't you, Konan?" Hidan asked in a knowing voice. Her face turned red and just as she was about to retort Kisame pecked Hidan on the lips, making him jump and laugh at the same time. Konan just stared until Kisame pecked her on the lips, which made Hidan laugh harder, and then Kurenai just so happened to walk through the door, so Kisame pecked her on the lips too.

"Well, I'm done. See you around," and he walked casually out of the room like nothing had even happened, the two women staring after him gaping and Hidan clutching at his stomach from laughing so hard.

-----

So I hope you found this somewhat funny :) I laughed while I wrote it, and know that I don't support Kisame x Hidan, though it is probably (if you forced me to support a yaoi pairing) the only yaoi pairing I would ever, well, support I guess. But... OKAY I'm going to end up confusing you and myself so I'll shut up now. xP Kind of a cute fluffly chapter, some real romance in chapter five. Oh, and be amazed! VAMP chapters are like, half the size of Innocence chapters ha ha!

My favorite line has got to be "Because she fails it." Go Hidan!
