Kakuzu shook hands with Atari after they had formulated a plan and the male then vanished with a puff of smoke. Suki and Hidan waited in front of Kakuzu's old home, catching up with one another. Both fell silent upon the stitched ninja's approach. He unlocked his door and welcomed them inside the dark house. Moments later, Kakuzu lit a flame, illuminating the plain room in which they stood.
He decided to give them a tour to pass time. A kitchen was attached to the living room and a hall led further into the house where stairs rested. A guest bedroom-bathroom lay at the bottom of these stairs. He made Suki stay there and led Hidan up to the second level. Four rooms lay on that level; the main bedroom is where Kakuzu brought him. He had a rather large bed considering he claimed that Hidan was his first actual relationship.
"This used to be my parents' room." He explained, taking off his cloak.
"So you've lived here for a long time, huh?" Hidan mused, taking his own off.
"Yep." He held open his arms, inviting Hidan over. "I've been thinking... it's time we settle down... After we fake our deaths, of course."
"Really?" Hidan snorted. "Well... this would be a nice place. Lots of space but... it's so close to your old village."
"Nobody ever really pays any mind to the secret tunnels. They were forgotten long ago." He explained, nibbling Hidan's neck.
"Fuck... why are you so horny?" He huffed, biting back the moan he wished to release.
"You tell me." He murmured, letting his hands roam. "This mission should only last one day longer and we'll be back with the kids before you know it."
"Tch... is that why you're horny? You didn't get to fuck me like you wanted because the kids were around?"
"Maybe..." He smirked, pulling away. "But I forgot about your altar boy staying here..." Hidan followed his gaze to the doorway and frowned.
"What do you want Suki?" Hidan rolled off the bed, glancing back at his husband whom was looking at something on his desk.
"Someone's here to see you." He whispered.
"Oh... I'll be back in a bit, Kuzu." Hidan threw over his shoulder, pulling his cloak back on.
He followed Suki downstairs and to the front door where Ginji waited. He dismissed Suki and stepped outside. The duo headed over to the side of the house and Ginji shook hands with Hidan.
"So, what is it you would like to know first?" He inquired.
"... Do you know any of his family members?"
"I know his young grandniece pretty well although he doesn't know her and she doesn't know him." Ginji mused. "His brother died a shortly after he left the village, not that they were very close in the first place. Before he died though, he managed to pass on the genes." he glanced at Hidan. "Since Kakuzu's gay, I suppose he won't be adding anymore kids..."
"... Fuck. Can you take me to meet her?" Hidan requested.
"You still have to tell me something about his present life." Ginji puffed.
"Well, if you can show me this relative..."
"Fine, fine. But you'd better keep your promise. Kakuzu would kill me if he finds out about this."
"I thought you said he didn't know her." Hidan said, following the banker back to the village.
"Doesn't mean he won't find out." He retorted, leading him to a rather small house. "This is where his niece and nephew-in-law live."
He was interrupted when a lovely, large-breasted woman stepped outside. She had fair skin, silky brown hair, and green eyes that locked onto Ginji. She smiled and approached the duo. Ginji kissed her hand and glanced at Hidan.
"Sweetheart, this is a spouse of one of my clients, Hidan." He introduced the male. "Hidan, my fiancee, Hitomi."
"So that's how well you know her." Hidan scoffed.
"Hey now, I kept my promise..."
"What's going on, Gin?" Hitomi asked the banker.
"Could we go inside and talk to your mother?" He returned.
"Of course. You don't need permission." She led them inside the little home and to the kitchen where another woman was cooking dinner. "Mother, Ginji is here with a guest."
"Oh?" The woman turned and Hidan was startled to find that she too had a rather large bosom. "You know I don't appreciate you bringing those clients home." She frowned, eying Hidan.
"Hey, did your mom have big boobs too?" Hidan asked, earning a look from Ginji.
"No... it's from my father's side, thank you very much." She answered tersely.
"So that means big boobs are in Kakuzu's family?" He mused to Ginji.
"'Kakuzu'?" The woman's eyes widened. "Ginji, I told you-"
"Wait, before you scold me, perhaps we can all just sit and... talk?" He suggested nervously.
"Hitomi, could you go to your room, please?" Kakuzu's niece sighed, heading for the kitchen table.
"But mother-"
"Now, Hitomi." The young girl sighed in defeat and headed towards her room. Once her door slammed shut, her mother continued. "Kakuzu's name is taboo here and you know it."
"But his partner doesn't." Ginji shrugged, taking out a cigar, only to have her snatch it away.
"What kind of partner?" She eyed Hidan again.
"That's what I'm waiting for him to tell me." He shrugged.
"... I'm his husband, if you must know, nosy bastard." Hidan huffed, taking a seat.
"Hey, you were being nosy first."
"'Husband'?" The woman blinked. "You must be insane. Kakuzu's temper is awfully short. He's dangerous."
"Says who?" Hidan scoffed. "The village elders that had him thrown in jail for failing an impossible mission?"
"So you know of his betrayal?"
"His betrayal? Weren't you listening to me, you dumb bitch? They betrayed him first. Fuckin' serves 'em right." He scowled. "I slaughtered my neighbors when my village decided they were gonna be some wuss tourist attraction."
"... You what?" The woman gaped.
"Ah... I've heard of you." Ginji laughed. "You're that guy from Yugakure. You're a Jashinist now, aren't you. That means you're immortal. It's all making sense now!" He laughed more, making Hidan roll his eyes. He was seeing a familiar pattern and sure enough, he said, "The reason he hasn't gotten rid of you yet is because he couldn't!"
"Yeah, he was killing off all his partners before me. That's why our leader chose me. Tch, still hate that pain in the ass."
"So how did you get him to marry you?" Kakuzu's niece inquired.
"Well... about that..." He looked down. "I... kinda got knocked up..."
"You're shitting me." Ginji deadpanned.
"You are a guy." She agreed.
"One of our friends is pretty evil... She had a guy named Orochimaru whip up some weird potion... Next thing I know, I'm being told I'm pregnant with twins..."
"You don't look-"
"They're eleven months now. A boy and a girl..." He explained. "That's why Kakuzu's in such a hurry to finish our mission."
He continued to fill them in on his encounter and more stories he had with Kakuzu. Apparently, his niece and brother never really blamed him for his actions. However, they had to keep it a secret so they would not also be accused for betrayal. Once stories had finished being exchanged, Hidan bid farewell. They considered meeting again in the future, with Kakuzu and the kids. Hidan, being careful now that his children were involved, did not inform them of their plans to live at Takigakure.
When he returned to his partner, Kakuzu was already asleep at the desk. He sighed at the missed opportunity of a fun night but woke Kakuzu without tact. The larger male growled, glaring at his husband. Hidan backed up to the bed and Kakuzu advanced sleepily. Hidan fell back on the bed, pulling Kakuzu with him. The miser allowed Hidan to kiss him, then pulled back to glare again.
"And just where the hell have you been, Hidan?" He demanded.
"Looking around. No one saw me." He lied, looping his arms around his neck.
"What time is it?"
"Dunno..." Hidan released Kakuzu and looked around for a clock. "Ten at night." He frowned, they would need to sleep now in order to be rested enough for the mission.
"Damn. I need to go. You can sleep until two, got it? No later. Atari and I are going to the base."
"Eh? Why now?"
However Kakuzu had already left. Hidan grumbled under his breath but settled down in the cold bed. If it was not for the twins, he would have made Kakuzu take him before running off. After all, Kakuzu was not the only one deprived of more sex than before child birth. Outside, Kakuzu met with Atari, changing his appearance before following the other Jashinist-lover to his 'base'. He explained to the one on guard—a rather small man—that Kakuzu was interested in joining.
They strode past and arrived at a large, open room. Atari motioned to a woman sitting in the chair ahead and they went to her.
"Loki-sama, the person I had informed you about yesterday is here." Atari said, dipping his head in mock respect.
"He does look rather strong. Very well, you may train him." The woman waved him off and then left.
"That is the leader, Loki. She found the poison that kills us." Atari explained to Kakuzu, taking him to a smaller room. "It was tested on one of the priestesses and she has two other priests captured. Unfortunately, I lost the position of guarding them to someone else."
"How did you lose that position?"
"... Suki got captured as a test subject..."
"Oh..." Kakuzu gave a nod in understanding. "Do they have others?"
"Nope. They already have the poison. No need to keep the lab rats... alive." Atari replied grimly.
"Who is in charge of guarding the priests now?" He inquired.
"That shrimp that was at the door should be guarding them now."
"Why are they holding the priests anyways?"
"Bargaining chips. They killed the only priestess to give proof they could kill us."
"... Auntie seemed like she would have been a good family member to have..." Kakuzu said quietly.
"That's right... I had forgotten Hidan was her nephew. That means she was your aunt too..." Atari frowned and then patted his bed. "Do you remember that one bounty we took down together?"
"The only one? Yeah."
"It was my aunt." He explained. "I loved her very much, but at that time, I valued money more than love. I'm sure you are the same."
"Of course. The world runs on money." He scoffed. "What's your point?"
"I dunno..." He grinned. "Just felt like sharing it with someone."
"Idiot." Kakuzu scoffed, scuffing the boy's hair. "What time is it?"
"Midnight. We should get going. Hidan and Suki will be here soon." He stood just as a bell began to ring. "Damnit... we have a meeting. Come on, Kakuzu."
"Gather, fellow Poachers. I have information to disclose on the Akatsuki." Loki began, making Kakuzu tense. "We have more members to add to the list as well as their special techniques. Their Jashinist, Hidan, has been spotted in this village." She waited for the four other members to quiet down. "He was with the banker, Ginji. It is possible that he has slipped information to Hidan."
"What about the Akatsuki? Maybe he gave information?" Atari suggested, earning a glare from Kakuzu.
"He is a Jashinist. Why would one of them give us information crucial to our plans?" She scowled. "Another member has also been sited in the village." Kakuzu's blood went cold; had he been discovered? "We managed to catch the fool with ease though since she was with a child."
"Which one was it!" Kakuzu could not help but burst out.
"It was a new blonde, newbie." She seemed annoyed that he had spoken. "Now we will have bargaining chips for both of our enemies." She grinned. "The meeting is dismissed. Atari, you will be placed in charge of the woman and child." Once she had left once again, a man nearby began to talk.
"Why the hell would the Akatsuki have a woman, let alone a child? I say it's a trick." He snorted.
"Come on, K. We should go down there." Atari whispered, taking the larger man's arm.
He nodded and then followed him down a flight of stairs to a cell of sorts. There was one on one end of the hall and Deidara was at the other end, holding Moku. Kakuzu hurried over, starting the blond. He did not recognize him and shied away. Atari looked down where the priests were and noticed the guard had not yet arrived. He exchanged a look with Kakuzu before hurrying down there.
"P-Please let me out, un. I have a child." Deidara sounded like a woman, confusing Kakuzu.
"Yeah, mine." He growled, examining the bars.
"Wha-?"
He was interrupted as a secret passage opened, revealing Suki and Hidan. They were called over to Atari, ignoring Kakuzu. However he was still busy trying to find a weak place in the bars. He doubted Atari had a key since he was still not freeing the priests.
"Deidara... Do you have your clay on you?" He demanded, losing his patience.
"Of course, hm." He huffed.
"Hand me Moku and when I get to that end down by Hidan, you blow yourself out. We won't have long after that before guards come running. Then we have to free the priests and hope we can come back and-"
"Bombs are already placed around this place, hm. Phox sent Itachi, Hametsuki, and myself to help you guys 'cause she had heard about the poison, un." Deidara cut off Kakuzu, holding out his son. "We brought the kids because Kisame is on a mission with danna, hm."
"I see..."
He frowned and accepted the precious bundle. He glanced down at his son's peaceful face and then approached the Jashinists. Hidan seemed shock that Moku was there and stole him away, holding him close. They ignored the confused looks from the Jashinists and then waited for the explosion. Moku woke up but remained silent and Deidara came running, already making another explosive. Kakuzu made Hidan and the others to go through the passage, assuring them that he would protect the priests.
Deidara set off the explosions the moment they were out of site. Each of the Akatsuki members grabbed a priest and helped them to the tunnel. It slid shut behind and they hurried to a spot just outsied the hideout. Hidan, Itachi, and the kids all stood waiting. They joined them and then, Deidara turnied with a sick grin. He placed his hands together in a familiar sign and then murmured.
"Let me show you true art, kids." He glanced at his daughters, held in Itachi's arms. "KATSU!"
Blah~ Sorry it took awhile. School's back in session. My Sims 2 game had also taken away most of m freetime and I apologize.
I want to let you all know that I have a new deviantart account. yaoiphox(dot)deviantart(dot)com.
I also have a new poll up: Should I start an Akatsuki Yaoi Chatroom series on Youtube? (If you are unsure of what that is, search "Akatsuki Chatroom" or something on Youtube).
ANOTHER THING: I'm thinking I should start making these chapters longer... like five or eight pages rather than four.
