Chapter 7: Hidan's Nightmare
Authors Note: Last chapter! Hope you guys enjoyed it! I know some chapters were short, and I'm sorry. It's sort of in between a one-shot and a story, so I hope you enjoyed it! This chapter is much longer since it's the last one. That, and the fact I have Hidan's nightmare to play with! ^_^
I also have a whole new idea for a Fanfiction story: Each Akatsuki member is placed in their worst nightmare. Ahhh, the ideas are already rolling, hahaha…
The night was a violent one.
Lightning bolts danced across the sky, followed by the loud booms of thunder, echoing across the land every few seconds.
While some might find this sort of weather unnerving, others found it relaxing.
Others…
Like Hidan.
Now according the Jashinist, there are two kinds of people in this world. One; are those willingly to accept their fate of eternal hell, and two; are those who wish to give themselves another chance at salvation and accept Jashin. Although technically Hidan was supposed to always take in those willing to convert, the blood spill was just too much fun. And why not? Jashin's main moral is to kill and cause havoc wherever his disciples went. But if everyone converted to Jashinism, who would be left?
It was this thought that has plagued Hidan earlier in the day. Well…not plagued. Rather came across his mind for instant before he realized he needed to do his evening ritual. However, it came back to him once more. This time in a nightmare.
As the Jashinist tossed and turned in his bed, his face twitching in discomfort, he dreamed a nightmare. A horrible, horrible dream…
MEANWHILE…
"Tobi will need to be extra quiet as Tobi does not remember if Hidan is a light sleeper or not," Tobi mumbled to himself as he tip-toed over to the Jashinist's room.
"Tobi will be as quiet as a mouse!" he whispered as he crept, true to his word, as quiet as a mouse. Once he got near Hidan's door, and seeing it was partially opened, he slowly pushed it forward to reveal the immortal's room.
Tobi gulped.
Hidan will most certainly not want to be woken up. Nooo, that would be bad for Tobi... So Tobi will lie down next to Hidan's bed and-Oh wait! Tobi will get cold! Tobi needs to find a blanket first…Yes…Tobi will find a blanket, but where?
Putting his hand up to his chin in thought, Tobi began to ponder that very question until it hit him.
The living room! Tobi will get a blanket from the living room! Hahaha. Tobi has been so silly!
Rushing down the hallway Tobi made it toward the living room and clumsily fumbled for a blanket on the couch until his gloves made contact with an old, wooly blanket.
"Aha! Tobi has found a blanket! Now to go to sleep! Tobi is soooo tired!"
Running back up the stairs, Tobi crept back into Hidan's room as he lay down and placed his new found blanket over himself.
"Ahhhh…" Tobi relaxed. "Now to go to sleep!" ^_^
….
MEANWHILE IN HIDAN'S NIGHTMARE:
"Hell yeah! FINALLY! I've left this damn world and gone to paradise!"
The immortal Jashinist looked around the hellish landscape of fire, dark skies, stretches of lightning and roars of thunder, screams heard all around, and the smell of death evident in the air.
Yup.
Hidan had made it to paradise.
"Now to see Jashin! I'm sure he's anxious as hell to meet me! His most faithful disciple!"
Making his way along the path of death and destruction, aka a grimy path soaked with blood and bodies, Hidan walked toward the looming gothic castle up ahead, he knew would be where his god resided.
Upon reaching the door he knocked fervently.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Yo Jashin! You're fucking faithful disciple here! Open up!"
Nothing happened for a few moments. Then the large door slowly opened as the immortal Jashinist stepped through. The door slammed shut behind him as he was led by gruesome looking beings, (only found in the sick mined man's mind) toward the throne of Jashin.
As Hidan passed statue after statue of the god of destruction, he looked up to see, low and behold, his god.
Jashin.
Hundreds of feet tall with a strong muscular build, battle armor covering his large body, giant black boots, and a mask reminiscent of all evil, he looked down upon his disciple.
Hidan stared in awestruck wonder at his god as he bent down on one knee to his god.
"My lord Jashin," he breathed. "It is an honor to meet you."
Although anyone who had ever even met the Jashinist knew he couldn't hold his tongue, when he was in front of his god, the only reason for his living, he decided to hold back.
"Greetings Hidan. My faithful disciple. You have made it to paradise," the loud, booming voice of Jashin resounded in the room.
"Thank you my lord," Hidan replied.
"You have followed my orders to the letter Hidan. Caused pain and destruction wherever you went, gave me ritual after ritual for the blood I so need, and have ended those who did not submit to my power."
Hidan smirked. "I sure did."
"However…"
Hidan's smile abruptly left his face as he looked up, possibly for the first time, in fear, at his god.
"You have killed everyone, and I mean EVERYONE. There is no more blood for me Hidan. If you had been a bit less zealous with your killings, more humans would come into this world, and continuously supply me with blood. If there is no one left, then I have nothing."
Hidan was awestruck. He followed everything his lord and god told him to do. However, it didn't matter now. Even Hidan knew that. He pissed Jashin off. And he would pay the price.
Dearly.
"BECAUSE OF YOUR ACTIONS HIDAN, YOU ARE SENTENCED TO AN ETERNITY IN HELL!"
"WHAT!?" Hidan screamed. "JASHIN! LORD! AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU! YOU CAN'T-"
"I CAN AND I WILL HIDAN. YOU HAVE FAILED ME."
"BUT JASHIN! PLEASE! FORGIVE ME!" Hidan dropped onto his hands and knees before his god. "PLEASE! TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I WON'T KILL ANYMORE IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT!"
"FOOL! THERE IS NO ONE ELSE LEFT FOR YOU TO KILL! BUT TO EVEN REMARK SUCH A SIN AS "NOT KILLING" IN FRONT OF ME, YOUR LORD AND GOD, IS BLASPHEMY!"
"NO! JASHIN! I'M SORRY! FORGIVE ME! PLEASE!"
"NO HIDAN…YOU'RE TIME IS UP. NOW…TO FULLFILL YOUR FATE…"
As Jashin slowly raised his hands into the air, thunder boomed above them. Bolts of lightning crashed through the windows, inches away from Hidan.
Slowly backing away from his god, Hidan looked from side to side nervously. Until he was interrupted with…
"Goodbye Hidan. May your soul never rest in peace."
BOOM!
Without warning a bolt of lightning hit Hidan square in the chest as he felt himself falling and falling and falling down a seemingly endless pit until he heard a THUD!
….
….
The first thing Hidan noticed was birds chirping.
"Ohhhh," he groaned as he began to sit up. Opening his eyes he immediately noticed two things. One, he was in a forest. Whose leaves were the color of evil incarnate itself.
Pink.
And two, one of those leaves, which he was sitting on, was the shape of evil incarnate itself.
A heart.
As fast as the bolt of lightning that hit him, Hidan sprang up as he looked around fanatically.
"What the heck…" he breathed out.
Truth be told, Hidan was…
Dare he say it.
Terrified.
"Excuse me?"
Hidan spun around. He could have sworn her heard something.
"Excuse me?"
There is was again! Looking in every direction, Hidan saw nothing.
Oh no…Not only has Jashin placed me in Hell, he took away my sanity too!
"Mister! Down here!"
Suddenly the Jashinist felt a tug on the bottom of his cloak as he looked down.
"AHHH!" Jumping out of the way he reached for his scythe. Only to see it wasn't there. In fact the cloak he wore wasn't his normal Akatsuki one either. But rather a ragged, old, brown cloak. But that's not what got his attention. It was that thing looking at him.
What-the-hell, he thought. It looks like a freaking teddy bear!
"Hello sir! My name is Guppy! I'll be your guide!"
"What?" Hidan asked dumbfounded.
"I'll be your guide sir! Come on! This way!" The teddy bear grabbed the cloth of Hidan's cloak once again as he pulled the Jashinist, with surprising strength, away.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! What the BLEEP are you talking about! Where the heck am I!?"
Suddenly something hit him.
"And why can't I BLEEPING swear!"
The teddy bear turned back to him with a smile. "Swearing is bad! It is not allowed here sir!"
Realization suddenly dawned on him.
Jashin really did send me to hell…
Trying to recover from his shock, he found himself being pulled away toward whatever torture was in store for him…
Hidan didn't know how long he was walking. Days, months, years? It didn't matter. Hidan didn't know anymore. It didn't matter. This was hell. And it was forever. Maybe if he just pretended he wasn't here it might not be so bad.
I've still got my imagination. Hell yeah! I'll just pretend I'm somewhere else!
"Sir!...Sir!"
Oh damn it! I forgot about that thing…How can I possibly ignore that for eternity!
"Sir!"
"WHAT!?"
The teddy bear smiled up at him. "We're here sir!"
"BLEEPING where?"
Looking up he noticed a small, log, cabin.
Made of candy.
Suddenly the door opened to reveal…
Oh hell no…
"Guppy!" Another teddy bear, this one with a large, pink bow on its head came running toward them.
"Gupples! How are you? I hope you are doing lovely!" Guppy cried happily.
"I am doing just candyrific Guppy! How are you?"
"Positively splendid Gupples!"
Get me the hell out of here!
"Look who I brought! It's Hidan!"
Hidan suddenly blinked.
"How the BLEEP did you know my name!" He yelled angrily.
"It's my business sir! To know all the new arrivals on Bubblegum Island!"
"Gumball Island?" Hidan asked unbelievingly.
Maybe I can at least swim away…
"Sir! We need to get going! The Lollipop King is waiting!" The one called Gupples cried.
"That's right Gupples! We better get going Hidan or we'll be late!"
"Go the heck where?" Hidan snapped.
"Uh uh uh," Gupples shook her finger. "That's for us to know and for you to find out Hidan!"
"The heck with it! Just get me the frick off this darn island! And shut off these stupid, BLEEPING sensors already! Urrr…That's it! I'm getting the heck out of here!"
Lifting his foot off the ground to prove his point he instantly felt an abrupt tug on his sandals. Looking down he noticed a gooey, sparkly pink substance stuck to his shoes.
"Awww, come on! What the heck is this?"
"Looks like Gummy doesn't want to let go of your foot! Hahaha," Guppy laughed.
"Shut up!"
"Hidan, that's not very nice," Gupples said with a slight frown.
"Do I look like I BLEEPING care!" Hidan snapped. "Just get this darn thing off of me!"
"Guppy! We need to get going or we'll be late!" Gupples took hold of Hidan's arm.
"Say goodbye Gummy! Hidan needs to come with us!" Guppy smiled happily at the ground.
Before Hidan could say a word, the ground suddenly released him and he felt himself dragged away once again.
"Where the heck are we going fuzzball?" Hidan snapped, still shocked at the teddy bear's strong hold on his arm.
"Oh you'll see sir! Hehehe!"
Hidan did not like the way that sounded.
Not-one-bit.
…
As the trio traveled down the candy-covered path, Hidan was feeling the need to kill more and more as each second went by. He'd end his own life just to escape this hell if we wasn't already dead, which he was sure he was, let alone if he even had the ability to die.
Damn my immortality!
"Hidan! We've made it!" Guppy cried.
Hidan looked up from the ground to see in digust, a giant candy-covered castle hovering over him.
"Come on Hidan! Let's go!" Guppy cried as he pulled Hidan toward the castle.
"What? No! Get the heck off me!" Hidan tried to struggle but found he could not. It was as if his whole body has turned into mush as he was dragged closer and closer toward his doom. Suddenly, they reached the door as Guppy knocked three times.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
In seconds the large door slowly opened as Hidan grasped what lay ahead of him.
Every kind of hideously cute, adorable, or girly thing he could imagine surrounded him.
As well as more freaking teddy bears!
As his eyes bulged out of his sockets he attempted to spring away, violently struggling to get out of his hold.
"THE HECK WITH THIS! GET ME THE HECK OUT OF HERE YOU BLEEPING BLEEPERS! GET ME OUT OF THIS HECK!"
"Hidan…you need to calm down…" Guppy replied in a soft, calm, and a little too creepy voice.
"CALM DOWN? WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! YOU BLEEPING TEDDY BEAR!"
"Hidan," Gupples spoke, in as equal a calm, soft, and creepy voice. "It is time."
"TIME FOR WHAT?" Hidan spat.
"Time for us all to become...like him…" she trailed off. Her eyes staring into nothingness.
"What the heck are you talking about?"
"Yes…it is time Hidan…" Guppy turned his head with wide-eyes at the Jashinist. However, he wasn't looking at him, but rather, through him.
"What are doing?" Hidan asked nervously, officially freaked out by what was happening.
"He comes…" Gupples slowly turned her head toward the back of the castle.
"He comes…" Guppy repeated, also turning his head in the same direction.
"Who comes?" Hidan cried frantically, still unable to break his hold.
All of a sudden all the teddy bears in the room began to chant, "The Lollipop King…The Lollipop King…The Lollipop King…"
What-in-the hell, Hidan thought.
As the chanting continued, Hidan began to feel an uneasiness around him…
Something was coming...
And it was coming…
For him.
Just then, a grand door opened in front of him, and out walked a man wearing a black cloak. His hood covering his face.
"My peasants…Rise…" the man lifted up his hands, with a booming, deep voice. "Become my Lollipop Minions and you will face happiness every day of your life…"
Every teddy bear rose as they began to walk toward the Lollipop King.
"Now…may you all…become like me..." He spoke as he slowly lifted his hood to reveal…
"TOBI!" Hidan shouted incredulously.
"HOW-WHAT THE?-WHAT-IT'S-WHAT?" Hidan was at a loss for words.
However, that momentary shock was soon cut off as Tobi spoke:
"Hidan…You will become…Like us."
"Like us…" voices around him echoed their leader's as Hidan turned to face them. Only to see each one now had Tobi's mask as their face!
"WHAT THE HECK!"
Hidan felt something he hadn't felt in years.
Terror.
Pure-terror.
Oh Jashin save me! Please! Please I beg of you! He pleaded to his god. But received no answer.
"Join us Hidan…Join us…" they spoke in tandem, getting closer and closer as the Tobi-Guppy kept a firm hold on him from behind, making it impossible for the Jashinist to move.
"No! Noo! Get away from me!" Hidan struggled.
But they just got closer…and closer…and closer…until they surrounded the immortal.
"Noooo…." Hidan cried as tears began to fall down his face. Hands reached for him from every angle. Tobi's mask everywhere he looked.
Hidan's breathing became rapid as his eyes glanced fearfully in every direction, sweat coming down his face.
"Hidan…" Tobi proclaimed. "Become…like me!" The last words actually sounded like the masked-nin Hidan knew. However, that too was only a fleeting though as the Tobis surrounded him…Engulfing him in their presence…
This was the end. Hidan knew it…
This was the end at last…
But then... won't he become Tobi? No! He can't let that happen! He was supposed to live in eternity with Jashin! Not this!
"Hidan…" a voice called from far away.
Great. Another creepy Tobi coming after me…
"Hidan….Wake up!"
You think I fucking wish this was a dream! Of course I do! But it's fucking real!
"Hidan, Tobi thinks you are having a nightmare."
What?
"Hidan…" the voice trailed.
"Hidan…."
"Hidan…"
"GAH!" Hidan sprang up from his bed, his body drenched in sweat as he panted heavily.
Suddenly realizing his surroundings, he found himself to be in his own bed. In his own room. Not some creepy castle or in happy, teddy bear land.
He was safe.
He was alive.
And he was-
"Yay! Hidan is okay!"
Hidan's eyes bulged out of their sockets as he slowly turned in the direction of his most feared voice. Slowly, his eyes made contact with none other than the mask of his most hated enemy.
Tobi.
"Tobi is sooo glad Hidan is okay! Tobi was worried because Tobi could not wake Hidan up!" Tobi cried happily.
Hidan just stared at the masked-nin.
"Um...Hidan? Are you alright?"
Suddenly an evil grin came over the Jashinist's face as he smiled at the masked-nin.
Slowly, Tobi took a nervous step back as Hidan rose from his bed.
"Um…Hidan…Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Tobi…" Hidan's smile became even broader as he walked toward the fellow Akatsuki member.
"Just…stay…still…Tobi..."
"Huh? Oh…okay Hidan," Tobi muttered. "But Tobi doesn't feel so great right now-"
"DIE!" Hidan suddenly took hold of his scythe as he sprang onto Tobi, who barely dodged the weapon's blade.
"AHHH! TOBI DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE HIDAN OR HIS SCYTHE UPSET! AHHH!" Tobi screamed as he ran out of the room as fast as his legs could carry him.
MEANWHILE…
Deidara, Hidan, Zetsu, and Itachi all awoke from their slumber at the noise. However, upon hearing someone was chasing Tobi, thought nothing of it. The masked-nin deserved it after disrupting their sleep after all. Soon, each member fell back asleep.
In time, Pein, Konan, and Kakuzu came in through the hideout's entrance to see the living room in shambles, with scythe marks on the hallway walls, and Tobi's screams reverberating everywhere.
Pein sighed at the actions of his subordinates, Konan rolled her eyes, and Kakuzu positively fumed at the expenses that would have to be paid.
After about five minutes of Kakuzu trying to restrain Hidan, Pein sent the masked-nin to his room to calm down. Finally reaching his room, Tobi sighed as he flopped down on his bed.
"Tobi has never seen Hidan so angry before! Tobi is still really, really scared!" Tobi shivered, pulling his blankets over him as he hid under the blankets. "But now Tobi can finally get some rest! Ahhhh…" he sighed happily, only to be interrupted by the pounding knocks on his door.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Hey! Dumbass! We're leaving for a mission in ten minutes! Get ready!" Deidara yelled from the other side of the door.
"Ohhhh…" Tobi groaned. "Tobi thinks he finally understands what everyone calls a "bad day."
THE END!
