*Hidan's POV*
"Where the hell is Kurai?" Leader-sama shouted.
"How the fuck should I know?" I asked trying to sharpen my scythe in peace.
Leader-sama walked off to find someone else. Moments later she walked back into the base, her face so sullen but she was licking blood off her fingers like a cat.
"Where the hell have you been?" I asked eyeing her "Leader-sama is going mad looking for you."
"That's none of your fucking business," she hissed.
She gave me a look and I knew that if the blindfold was off she'd be giving me a deadly glare. I leaned back in my chair and smirked, I had new respect for this chick.
"You don't like having people act as a babysitter," I commented.
"Hell no," she grimaced "I don't need any bastard to take care of me."
"I love you and your attitude."
She stopped what she was doing and looked at me. I felt my heart speed up and a blush rose to my cheeks when I realized what I had said. She walked past me, I turned my head toward her, Kurai paused at the door frame and turned her face slightly toward me.
"I wish you hadn't said that," her voice soft and sad like her words were the tears she couldn't shed "I'm not the girl for you Hidan."
My heart felt heavy and sunk. I turned back to my scythe, but unable to concentrate I went to my room to pray to Jashin.
*Itachi's POV*
Leader-sama interrogated me about Kurai for so long and it was late, I wanted to sleep. When I went back to my room I saw her curled up on my bed. Kurai looked so innocent, but I knew better, I walked up and knelt by my bed. I was going to tell her to go to her room but she was asleep, it was late so I decided to just sleep next to her.
When I woke up the next morning Kurai was curled up against me, her face buried in my chest and my arm around her. I looked at her closely and saw that silent tears stained her cheeks during the night so I pulled her closely. She groaned and pushed away, I drew her close to kiss her forehead before letting her go.
"What the hell happened?"
I opened my door to see Kakuzu staring at a bloody Hidan. Kunai were still embedded in his skin, cuts and bruises all over his body.
"Someone tried to fucking kill me last night," Hidan complained storming off to see Leader-sama "When I find out who, I'm going to let them die a very slow and painful death."
I turned back to Kurai after closing my door to see her sitting up straight on my bed. I walked over to her, about to touch her cheek when she flinched away.
"Don't tell me you love me," she warned.
"Excuse me?" I blinked blushing.
"You will die."
She stood up and left. Leader-sama's voice rung in my head and I made my way to the meeting room.
