I am sooooooooo sorry! I can't express how sorry I am! it took me forever to update because the power supply to my laptop wasn't working so I had to try and get it fixed while I was juggling doing tech work for a theatre company in town so my schedule was packed for 3 weeks with that alone and....I'm sorry...T_T....apologies aside, this chapter is not what I thought it would be at all! But I hope you enjoy none-the-less!

Deidara wasn't eavesdropping, no! He was simply....by coincidence.....peeking into the break room door, and it just-so-happened he could hear what the occupants were saying.

"Fucking hurry up! I'm missing my lunch break!" Hidan was currently sitting on a wooden stool with tissue stuck up his nose.

"It's your own fault for chasing around that waiter." Kakuzu scoffed. It really was the albino's fault....Or if you know the whole story- Deidara's fault

"Like hell it's my fault! Tobi said my eyes were fucking pink!" he whined. Kakuzu rolled his eyes, Hidan really is childish, getting mad over such trivial things. Meanwhile, a dastardly grin made it's way onto the blonde's face as he silently thanked Tobi for being such an idiot. He could still feel the seriousness in the boy's voice when he thought he would be helping Hidan...

"Tobi? Can you do senpai a favor?" Tobi was too stupid to notice the lack of 'un'....Oh well!

"anything for Deidara-senpai!" the boy beamed. The blonde forced his devilish grin into a serious look.

"Hidan has been feeling....sad lately and needs some cheering up."

"Why is Hidan-san sad?" Deidara frowned, now he had to make something up...

"Erm...he doesn't....uh...feel...p-pretty....That's it, he doesn't feel pretty, un!" Tobi responded with an over-dramatic 'gasp!'

"Don't worry senpai! Tobi will cheer Hidan-san up!" the boy sprinted away with a hop in his step, and a feeling of importance.

Haha...'Good times, un.'

After a moment of silence Hidan spoke up "Hey Kakuzu...?" said man shifted his eyes from the bloody nose up to pin- erm, fuschia eyes.

"What?" the albino had the look of a curious cat on his face...it made the older man uneasy and it made Deidara very excited.

"Why do you wear that mask? Are you fucking ugly or something?" he asked innocently. A green eye twitched.

Deidara tried not to giggle, his plan had worked! He had gotten him curious about the manager's looks! Could this be progress?

"Not particularly, I just prefer people to not see my face." Kakuzu had no intention to elaborate, however Hidan wouldn't leave it at that.

"Why the fuck not?"

"I just don't, now stop asking."

"No, at least let me see!" the slighter lunged forward to grab the mask, but failed as the brunette had swiftly dodged his attempt. Kakuzu glared at the albino who was really acting like a child now, arms crossed and lip curled into a pout. The manager's glare softened, he really didn't want the boy angry at him -not because he likes him, but because he is a handful enough without being childish.

The older man sighed "There's not much to see, so you don't need to be upset." Hidan scoffed and turned his head away, still pouting and crossing his arms, and even without words Kakuzu understood what he said:

'I'm still fucking upset, bastard'.

Deidara looked on, a frown adorning his face. 'I take it back, un. If anything, this is anti-progress.' In a way he was right, Hidan was pissed at Kakuzu and who knows how irritable this will make the manager.

"Hidan, Stop being childish."

no response.

"If your trying to get revenge through the silent treatment that's fine with me, your tendency of being loud gives me a headache anyway."

still nothing, his employee just sat there as if he was a statue. Deidara dejectedly took his leave, feeling this was going nowhere.

Kakuzu rolled his eyes, why was he bothering with this boy anyway? He doesn't care if he talks to him or not.

"Your nose has stopped bleeding, so get back to work." after a moment the albino slowly stood up...and left, not bothering to look at his higher-up on the way out.

Kakuzu reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose in some sad attempt to null the oncoming pain "God, he gave me headache without even saying anything."

Though Kakuzu had only known Hidan for a little over a week he knew that if that boy was ever silent, he was planning something. Which meant tomorrow was going to be a very....challenging day.

Ohoho, he didn't know how right he was.

I ended up stuffing the explanation of the pink eyes thing in there last minute so sorry if it's not great....you can just choose to ignore it . I was also expecting more progress between Kuzu and Hidan....I don't know if I'm disappointed or just...being picky.

Anyway, I have a new story coming out soon! it will be called "Fears"

As the title suggests it will deal with the different fears the characters have. Characters I know will be in it are Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara, Tobi, Itachi, and other minor chars. It will be another KakuHida but a bit more serious, it will still have some humor but will be aimed towards a serious relationship and hopefully unlike "Red Cloud's" it will have more development after they get together, that means it will be a longer fic, probably over 10 chapters. So look forward to that.
