I do not own Naruto but I DO own the all the OCs
Chapter 21: The Ultimate Gossip
After a while, Katamaru stopped coming over. Hidan pondered why but he never said anything. Then, one day, while Kakuzu was watching TV, something occurred to him.
"Hey, Kakuzu," Hidan asked. "Aren't you going to Harajuku tomorrow?"
"Yes," Kakuzu answered. "Why?"
"Oh, I was just thinking about the fact I saw…never mind."
"What?"
"No. It's stupid."
"Most everything you say is stupid."
Hidan glared.
"I was just thinking about this store I saw that had a bunch of Grey's Anatomy stuff in it," he said.
"Really?" Kakuzu asked. "Well, maybe you could show me when we go."
"'We?'"
"Yes. Erena will be doing errands and Sorami needs Sasori's help. You can't stay at home alone."
"It's okay. I'll be fi--"
"Would you rather stay with Izuno?"
"I'll go."
So, the next day, Kakuzu and Hidan drove to Harajuku.
It looked quite alluring since snow covered everything in sight. The buildings' bright colors mixed with the snowy, white undertone gave it a serene, cheerful look.
After Kakuzu was done with his business (he really can't let go of that money), he insisted Hidan take him to the store he was talking about.
As they were about to walk in, Hidan was as absent-minded as ever and walked smack into a passerby.
Hidan reeled backward but Kakuzu caught him, completely annoyed.
"Are you okay?" Kakuzu groaned.
"For real," a familiar voice said. "I didn't hurt your baby, did I?"
It was Katamaru.
"Katamaru," Hidan growled. "I told you about saying that kind of thing out loud."
Katamaru grinned.
"Well, this is something," Kakuzu said. "We haven't seen you in a while."
"Hmm?" Katamaru asked. "Oh, yes, I've been busy with a magazine article. Uwasabanashi can't stop for play, am I right? Well, see you two around."
With this he went to the edge of the street where a limo was waiting and got in.
"That's odd," Kakuzu said.
"What?" Hidan asked.
"He was coming over all the time but now he's suddenly busy…Something's up."
"Do you think so?"
Kakuzu nodded.
"Get in the car," he ordered.
Hidan obeyed and they inconspicuously followed Katamaru back to his grand mansion.
They parked on the street, a block away.
"Follow me," Kakuzu told him.
They went around to the back of the mansion. Bushes were right against the iron fence. Kakuzu easily climbed up and onto a bush.
"And so I'm just staying here?" Hidan asked, perturbed.
"Nope," Kakuzu answered.
With this her reached down with those extend-able arms of his, grabbed Hidan by his arms and raised him up.
Kakuzu grinned at Hidan, who had been caught completely off guard, and then jumped down off the bushes and eased Hidan down.
"Now, to get to Katamaru's room," Kakuzu said.
"His room?" Hidan asked.
"Yes. We're going to spy on him, of course."
"I think his room has a balcony."
"Good. C'mon."
They moved through all the trees in Katamaru's backyard and past a large mermaid fountain, to the mansion. When they reached it, they saw that, sure enough, Katamaru's room had a balcony.
In a way similar to the way they'd gotten over the fence, they climbed to the top of the balcony, only using a few of Kakuzu's ninja moves.
"Very interesting," Kakuzu said, once they were both on the top.
"What?" Hidan asked.
"Even though you don't look it, you're definitely getting heavier."
"Kakuzu!"
Kakuzu put his hand over Hidan's mouth.
"Don't yell," he chuckled. "We're spying, remember."
Hidan glared.
Kakazu walked over to the glass double-door that led into Katamaru's room and peered in.
Katamaru was at his desk, typing on his laptop, seemingly engaged in whatever he was doing.
Suddenly, Katamaru got up, and headed towards the door.
Kakuzu backed up, covering Hidan's mouth for safety precautions.
Katamaru was almost at the door when a crash was heard form downstairs.
Katamaru rushed to find out what the noise was.
Kakuzu grinned.
"Hidan," he said. "Come pick the lock."
"Okay…," Hidan answered, obeying.
They entered Katamaru's room. A large chandelier hung from the middle of the ceiling and a shaggy rug was on his marble floors. His bed was kings sized and a bedside table was besides it with a lamp on it. On top of the bookshelf, next to his desk were awards for the best gossip magazine form many contests. Everything in his room was either white, cream, or made of glass and in a modern style. The only black objects in his room were the black laptop on his wood-and-glass desk and the office chair in front of it.
"Now," Kakuzu said. "Let's see what he was working on."
"Kakuzu, don't you think this is a little far?" Hidan asked.
Kakuzu ignored him and sat at the desk.
"And you call me paranoid," Hidan teased.
"Oh, I'm paranoid?" Kakuzu asked. "Yes, of course. And I suppose you're really looking forward to the entire world knowing you're pregnant?"
"What?!"
Hidan leaned over Kakuzu shoulder.
"He's doing an article on that?!" he practically screamed.
"I knew he liked you way too much," Kakuzu said. "No one could like you that much."
Hidan scowled at Kakuzu.
"I thought I'd heard someone up here," a voice said, suddenly.
They both turned to see Katamaru standing in the doorway.
Hidan cursed.
"Great," Kakuzu groaned.
A/N: Always, thanks for reading. I got the idea of using mostly white things for Katamaru's room from Massie's room in the Clique. Credit goes to Miss Lisi Harrison.
