Aoi POV

"You got to kick your feet back and forth like this, un." Deidara explained. He kicked his feet in front of me. I nodded and did the same while holding on tightly to my floaty. I started to move backwards away from Deidara by doing this.

"Is this supposed to happen?" I called out to Deidara. He shook his head and pulled my floaty towards him. He demonstrated the motion again and I attempted but got the same result.

"I'll teach you how to float instead, un." Deidara suggested. I nodded and watched as he pressed his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them. His body turned in the water and he floated like an egg on water. The water started to drag him away towards the shore. He let go of his legs and swam over to me.

"That's called the egg float, un!" Deidara stated proudly. I nodded and observed as he lay on his back. The water started to take him towards shore again. He swam up to me. "I don't know what that one is called or this one, un!" He announced proudly. I nodded and he flipped over and lay on his stomach. He started to float away once more. He swam back to me with a grin on his face.

"What's with the grin, Deidara?" I asked in a bored tone. He smirked and pulled my floaty off me. I gasped and grabbed his hand soon as I started to sink.

"What did you do that for?" I squeezed Deidara's arm tightly in an attempt to not drown and to hurt him. Deidara laughed again and patted my head.

"Try to do the egg float that I showed you, un!" Deidara suggested. I nodded and quickly out my legs to my chest and let go of Deidara's arm. I held my breath and floated away. The water splashed against me as I floated away towards what I believe is the shore. I hope my glasses don't fall. I started to lose breath and let go off my legs. I placed my feet towards the floor in an attempt to reach it but I couldn't. I started to sink down and gasped for breath. I felt a hand pull me up by my hands. As soon as I was exposed to air, I gasped for breath.

"What the fuck are you doing almost drowning?" Hidan screeched. I kept gasping for air as Hidan dragged me to shore. He lifted me up and set me down under the umbrellas.

"Don't fucking move!" Hidan turned, "I'll be right back bitch." He came back a few moments later with my towel. He threw it on my head and started to dry me off.

"I can dry myself!" I exclaimed pushing him back. I wrapped the towel around my body and shivered. A light breeze caressed my skin. Hidan left and came back with his towel. He took a seat next to me after drying himself off.

"Aren't you going to fucking thank me?" Hidan poked my head with his thumb. "I just fucking saved your life!"

"Thank you but I blame Deidara." I mumbled, "AndYukikoandItachi." I said the last part quickly and in a low tone.

"Blondie? What did the blondie do?" Hidan questioned.

"Tried to teach me how to float and took away my floaty." I stated Deidara's crimes. Hidan laughed and patted my head some more.

"Good thing I was fucking around or you would have fucking drowned!" Hidan exclaimed. I nodded and yawned. "Are you tired?" I nodded again and lay down on the covers. I placed my towel as a cover on top of me. I closed my eyes and sighed. Surprisingly Hidan started to pat my head in a soothing pattern. I opened my eyes and stared at him as he patted my head. This caused me to feel very sleepy. Soon the world went black; Hidan was the last thing I saw.

Pain POV

I glanced around the water and made count for all my friends who were there. Itachi was surrounded by girls, Kisame was swimming laps back and forth, Zetsu was playing with Tobi, and Kakuzu was just standing in the water staring at everyone. Deidara had a floaty in his hands and was looking very lost and confused, Yukiko and Sasori were swimming over to Deidara in what seemed to be a race, Momo, Akiko and Hana were all splashing water at each other and giggling. I smiled but soon I realized we were short of two people. I took a glance again over the great space of water and didn't spot them. I quickly turned to Konan in concern.

"What's wrong Pein?" questioned Konan as she reached for me in concern.

"We lost Aoi and Hidan!" I informed her.

"Leader-sama have you seen Aoi?" questioned Deidara as he, Yukiko and Sasori swam over to Konan and me. In Deidara's hand was a floaty, particularly the same floaty that Aoi had a while back. Konan rolled her eyes and giggled. Then she pointed to the shore where our things were. A lump was all I could see under the umbrella. I sighed in relief and started heading to shore. Its best I check on them. I got out of the water followed by Konan, a bored looking Sasori, a guilty looking Deidara and a very angry Yukiko. They followed me as I neared the lump. We stopped dead on our tracks as Aoi and Hidan came into view.

Aoi lay next to Hidan; her head was tucked in under his chin and pushed into his exposed chest. Her arms were curled to Hidan's chest too. Hidan had an arm protectively wrapped around Aoi's head and his other arm on her back. They were both on their sides sleeping peacefully and clingy to each other.

"Aww!" squealed Konan next to me. She giggled and moved a little closer to see. Next to her Deidara, stood blushing and Sasori stood chuckling. I turned around to look for Yukiko and saw her running back to us with a digital camera. She pushed passed the gaping trio and started to take shots. After a few seconds, she left laughing and saying something about blackmail. I shook my head and kicked Hidan on the butt.

Hidan POV

I felt something strike me in the behind. I yelled but quickly felt a hand on my mouth. Pein looked down at me with his fingered at his lips. He's telling me to be fucking quiet! Suddenly I felt something warm on my chest. I gazed down at my chest and saw Aoi sleeping peacefully. She breathed in and out. Soon I came to notice my hands were wrapped around her. I quickly and gently removed them from under her and gently set her head on the ground. She stirred but I patted her head and she went back to sleep. After removing and setting her glasses down next to her, I got up. Sasori, Pein, Deidara and Konan all had a big smirk on their face.

"Fuck off!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Pein made a shush sound as I yelled this. On high alert, I turned around to Aoi who was now waking up. She opened her eyes and frowned. She felt around for her glasses and Konan passed them to her. She glared at me after rubbing the drowsiness out of her eyes. I turned and started to walk away only to have something hit the back of my head.

"What the fuck is your problem bitch?" I shouted at Aoi, "Imma fucking sacrifice you to fucking Jashin-sama!" I know she fucking did it.

"What are you yelling for?" she questioned with a yawn, "Do you need to be so loud when I'm taking a nap?" I stood in front of her and pointed at her.

"Bitch, you fucking threw something at me!" I growled as I accused her. She had this look on her face that read pure boredom. It looked like one that Sasori would usually wear except this one was tired like Itachi.

"So what?" she countered with a tilt of her head.

"AHA! I knew it you did fucking threw something at me bitch!" I pointed at her with both of my hands. My face widened into a grin as I figured I was right. She tilted her head to the side again and blew a raspberry at me. I growled under my breath and launched for her.

Aoi POV

I blew a raspberry at Hidan as he praised himself for being correct. He growled and launched himself for me. I felt a hand pull me over by the neck and I felt like I was tossed into the air. I shut my eyes tight as I felt myself thrown. Then I opened them as I was in someone's arms. I looked up to see Deidara. His hair was in a ponytail and his bang was out. He ran as fast as he could the whole time looking ahead. I leaned my head back and saw Hidan chasing us.

"Fucking blonde bring the bitch fucking back so I can fucking beat her to a fucking pulp!" Hidan yelled as he ran at full speed towards us. I shuddered and turned my head to look ahead. We passed some simple rocks on the ground and we neared some larger rocks. Deidara jumped up using his super cool ninja techniques. I grabbed on tightly to Deidara's arm as he leap up into the sky over the rocks. I looked back to where Hidan was and saw him pick up a medium sized rock. He flung the rock directly towards us. My eyes automatically squeezed shut at the sight of the rock coming near us. I felt Deidara lose his grip on me and he tossed me up forward.

I opened my eyes in time to see Deidara knocked over by a large rock. I squeezed my eyes shut again as my body started to fall towards the ground. Quickly rolling myself into a ball, I braced myself for the impact of the rocks, sand and waves but it never came. I was in someone's arms still curled up into a ball. I uncurled and opened my eyes slowly. The person set me on the floor standing.

"Bitch I fucking caught you!" Hidan yelled as put his hands up in the air in a celebratory fashion. My eyes watered as I realized the events and all the events that have happened before. My shoulders trembled as a lone tear dripped down my cheek. I could have died all these times….but I somehow didn't…

Hidan POV

I cheered in joy by putting my arms up in the air. I heard the sound of a sniffle and looked down to see Aoi crying. Frozen in shock I couldn't think of what to do. This is Aoi why is she crying. She doesn't cry unless there is a good reason! I panicked, as I didn't know what to do. Suddenly and idea hit my mind. I wrapped my arms around the tiny girl and patted the back of her head. I pushed her into my chest and let her cry on me. Her shoulders shook as silent weeping sounds came from her.

"It's okay I'm here for ya. You hear me I'm here." I muttered in a calm voice as I patted her head. Her shoulders stopped trembling and she simply hiccupped quietly. I rubbed her back and gave her a squeeze. She stopped crying all together and just stood there with her face facing down. I lifted her chin and forced her to face me. Her eyes were stained red from crying and her cheeks were stained with the remains of her tears. I sighed and patted her head.

"Why were you crying?" I questioned in a calm voice. She shook her head and got out of my grip on her chin. She took a step back and I followed her.

"I asked why you were fucking crying!" I demanded as lifted her chin up again.

"None of your business!" She yelled as she punched me in the jaw. Her left hand came flying out of nowhere and punched me in the cheek while her right hand punched me in the jaw. The force of her hit caused me to fall back. I lost grip of her chin and fell backwards. Aoi ran past me and as she did, she kicked me in the stomach. I rubbed my stomach and my cheek. They'll heal soon.

"DANNA, UN!" Deidara yelled out to Sasori, "Help me, Un!" I gaped at him as he wiggled from underneath the rock and attempted to get out. He called out to the puppet a few more times before footsteps were heard. I sat up onto my bottom and saw Sasori, Pein, Konan, Kisame, Tobi, Itachi, Kakuzu, Zetsu, Yukiko, Akiko, Hana, and Momo running towards us. I sighed and rubbed the back of my head. This isn't gonna fucking end pretty! I pushed myself to my feet and was approached by Pein, Itachi, Tobi and the girls. Kakuzu, Zetsu, Kisame and Sasori went and started to get Deidara out from under the rock.

"Where is Aoi-chan?" Tobi questioned. Everyone behind and around him nodded in agreement to the question.

"I don't know." I mumbled as I rubbed the back of my head.

"Nuh uh! Hidan made Aoi cry and she ran off, un!" Deidara exclaimed pointing a finger at me. Everyone glanced at Deidara and then at me. I looked at the ground in an attempt to ignore the sounds of the accusations that were soon to come.

"Seriously Hidan, seriously!" Shouted Akiko. Yes, I fucking know!

"You have to have more self-control!" Momo exclaimed. I never needed fucking self-control it's useless like sanity!

"Hidan is a bad boy!" Tobi chimed. So?

"This better not affect her memory." Itachi threatened. Oh, shit! I forgot all about that!

"Hidan why did you do that?" Konan and Pein questioned. I didn't do anything bad, I think….

"If she gets hurt I will find a way to kill you!" threatened Yukiko. Good luck with that bitch!

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I screamed as loud as I could. Everyone was taken aback by my shout. "I'll fucking find her!" I turned around and marched off in the direction Aoi took.

Aoi POV

I marched through the woods rubbing at my eyes. The woods had somehow appeared about five minutes after I left Hidan. It's not his fault yet I don't know why I took it out on him. Hopefully he won't get in trouble for making me run off. Well I did run off on my own but Deidara might misinterpret it. I inhaled deeply and exhaled softly through my mouth. The aroma of the woods was making me sleepy. I walked a few more feet before my eyes started to droop.

"I need a nap." I yawned as I took a seat on the base of a tree. I yawned once more before closing my eyes. My eyes opened quickly at the sound of a growl. They widened as I saw a bear standing only a few feet away from me. Quickly I sat up and took a step back into the tree. I looked at the ground and saw a rock and a large branch. I picked up the branch with my right hand and the rock with my left. The bear growled deeply at the sight of its prey moving. I took a step to the left and the bear followed. Next, I threw the rock and branch and the bear and turned to run. My feet went one in front to the other as I ran from the bear I could hear following me. I ran in the direction I came from hoping I wasn't going deeper in to the woods.

Suddenly the growling stopped and all I heard was a thump behind me. I whirled around and saw Hidan. His expression was far from pleased. He walked to me as I stood there wondering where he came from. The Jashinist stopped in front of me and patted my head softly. I bowed my head as he did this and looked up at him in confusion as he stopped.

"Hidan why are yo-" I began to ask him.

"Let's go back; the others are waiting for us." Hidan interrupted, "I came to get you so you don't get lost- or hurt." Hidan whispered the last part and stared past me. I glanced behind me to find nothing. I looked at the Jashinist directly in his eyes but he avoided the gaze by turning around. I tilted my head to the side confused. Hidan sighed and held his hand out to me. I took it and followed the Jashinist as he led me out of the woods. The silence that came to us was breathtaking. Who knew Hidan could be so quiet? I shook my head and soon pain started to reach the back of my head. I gasped out as the pain intensified and pulled my hand away from Hidan's grip. I fell to my knees holding my head as the pain kept on escalating.

"Aaaah!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as the pain escalated even higher. It was unbearable as if my head would explode from the pain. Hidan dropped to my side and put his hand on my shoulder. I pounded my head on the ground in an attempt to stop the pain.

"Aoi what's fucking wrong?" Hidan questioned in a fit of panic, "tell me so I can fucking help you, bitch!" The Jashinist pulled me into his hold as soon as he said this. I grimaced and gripped the back of my head.

"I-it hurts!" I whimpered as the pain started to travel across my whole head. I screamed in agony again and felt Hidan press me harder to his body.

"Shhh, shh! Come on don't be like that." He whispered soothingly, "You have to be strong Aoi. You're a strong girl use that strength you use against me. Use the strength you use in therapy and when you and I fight. Just be strong!" Hidan squeezed me harder and the pain soon died out.

"What? Huh?" I peeked my head up from Hidan's grip. Then I stared at Hidan who was staring at me confused. "Why are you hugging me Hidan? Why are we in a forest? When did we get to the forest? Wasn't I just at the beach taking a nap?"

"Fuck!" Hidan cussed loudly. He stood up and dropped me to the floor in the process. "FUCK! FUCK!" He yelled repeatedly as he pounded his head on a tree. I stared in shock as the Jashinist struck his head repetitively; every time he did, he hit his head harder than the time before. I got up and neared the crazy man.

"H-Hidan are you okay?" I mumbled in concern.

"Shut the fuck up!" Hidan yelled causing me to flinch.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to get Kakuzu?" I questioned again as I took a step towards him.

"I said shut the fuck up, bitch!" Hidan yelled louder as he turned to me with his fist ready to pound me. His face was covered by blood which trickled from a head wound he made with the tree trunk.

"Okay." I replied as I turned to where the sound of waves was heard.

"What do you mean okay?" Hidan questioned a bit more calm now but his voice was still tense.

"It means I'll leave you alone." I stated monotone as I glanced back at the Jashinist. I turned and ran toward the sound of water before he could reply. As I neared it, I saw the Akatsuki and my friends standing glancing at the forest suspiciously. I trotted over to them and glanced at each of their faces. They glanced at me with pure curiosity. I tilted my head as they glanced at me questionably.

"Let's go back to the beach." Pein muttered after moments of silence. Everyone nodded and turned toward the direction I assumed was our belongings. Yukiko motioned me over and I walked next to her. I took one last glance at the forest and saw Hidan standing there with an indescribable emotion smeared across his face.

Yeah that's the latest chapter. I had things to work out with it so it came out later than I planned.
