Kakuzu carried his catch to the nearest collection office. His head swimming. He didn't understand how Hidan could have vanished. Perhaps he had run? No, he couldn't see reason… unless he had actually been disturbed by this morning's action. Then there was that odd child to consider.
Kakuzu looked down at the quivering boy. He looked down on 'it' coldly but was surprised when it looked up at him with wide, curious eyes. They were a similar color to Hidan's only brighter. His hair was a lot lighter as well as unstyled. Kakuzu frowned and then turned, he would have to look for his partner later, it seemed. He left the room, ignoring the cries begging him not to leave.
He arrived at his destination soon, readjusting the corpse before he entered. When he left, he took a reasonable amount of money with him. He hadn't counted it for he wanted to look for Hidan. That and it was hardly as fun as when Hidan would complain about the wait. He sighed in reminiscing. Kakuzu didn't understand what drove him to want to look for his annoying partner. After all, he worked better alone.
At least, that is what he tried to convince himself. While in truth, he recalled the few times when Hidan had actually saved his ass. But why had his ass needed saving, exactly? Because he had been staring at his partner's ass. He stopped suddenly, slapping a hand to his face.
Good lord; he sounded as though Hidan meant more to him then a way to relieve sexual tension. But maybe... he did mean something more...
"HEY, un! There you are, Kakuzu-danna!" He was brought out of his depression at the sound of Deidara's voice and looked up.
Just what he needed. However, once Deidara came closer, a heart leaped. In his arms was that same boy. The one he was sure he had abandoned and gotten rid of. He scowled and met the artists half way, glaring at the 'thing' in the blonde's arms.
"What is that doing here?" Kakuzu grumbled, then decided to play dumb... in a way, "Don't tell me Sasori actually managed to knock you up."
He gave a sadistic smirk upon receiving the reactions. Deidara turned bright red, nearly dropping the child. Sasori, no doubt, had a similar reaction. Neither said anything for awhile, recovering from their shock.
"I'M A GUY, UN!" Deidara scowled, forgetting he held a once sleeping child.
"AND I'M NOT GAY!" Sasori soon followed.
"Faggots."
All three criminal ninja froze, looking to the young boy in Deidara's arms. The blonde's jaw dropped at the foulmouthed toddler. He knelt down, placing him on his feet and resting his hands on his shoulders. Kakuzu smirked at the sight of Deidara actually being serious.
"Now, now, kid, un. That isn't true nor is it a nice word. Say you're sorry, un."
"Fuck off, bitch. Why should I? And I have a name." the toddler scoffed, continuing once he heard a laugh from Kakuzu.
"If you have a name, why don't you tell us?" Sasori sighed, using Hiruko's tail to restrain his partner.
"... Why should I give my name to you strangers?" He replied coolly, crossing his arms.
"Heh," Kakuzu laughed, approaching the kid, "You got a horrible attitude, brat. My name is Kakuzu, that's Sasori and Deidara."
"Your name is funny..." The boy replied, staring blankly at his mask.
"It's rude to stare, brat." Kakuzu grumbled, turning away from the innocently curious eyes.
"Why do you wear that ugly shit?" he asked, jabbing a finger.
"... Because..." Kakuzu scowled, straightening up.
He hadn't even realized he had been leaning down. He sidestepped past the kid to stand next to the others. Deidara had calmed down and was having conversation with Sasori.
"Danna, I think I'll have to agree with you for once, un." Deidara whispered.
"Hm. That brat is definitely him or at least a relative." Sasori gave a nod inside Hiruko.
"Well?" Kakuzu interrupted their 'private' discussion, a bit annoyed that he was excluded, "What do you two want?"
"Oh, well, we all have a mission again, un. You, Me, Sasori-danna, and Hidan-chan." Deidara listed.
"Did you say Hidan? AND HIDAN-CHAN AT THAT!" the boy exclaimed suddenly.
"Uh, yeah, un?" Deidara rose a brow in question, "What's it to you?"
"Do you know Hidan?" Sasori asked.
"Where is he?" Kakuzu added.
"Um... m-my name's Hidan... dumb-asses..."
Oh snaps!
