I let him cry on my shoulder. He didn't seem to be letting up any time soon. I felt so bad for him. There was nothing I could do, but stroke his silver tangled hair, and assure him everything was okay. I could tell eleven years of being trapped in there had really taken his toll on the loudmouth that always spoke out against Pein's plans during the meetings. I saw no arrogance in those violet eyes of his. The look in his eyes when he looked at me…... he seemed like a lost child. Eleven years was a long time. I had left Akatsuki long ago. And all members besides me were dead. It was just luck… One day I remembered that we had an immortal member. Buried alive in the Narra Clan forest… and I wondered if he was still alive…. Well, I guess I was right. I used my butterflies to search out the area… only Narra clan members could enter, and my paper jutsu was undetectable to the deer. It wasn't human. One of the few advantages of being able to become paper. I had found his head the day before, and saw him, staring at me with wide fearful eyes. He was alive. We had left him there all those years. As the Akatsuki members fell, he was trapped there the whole time. As the years went by, the Akatsuki fell, I lived, and Hidan stayed buried all those years, slowly losing his mind. I felt guilt. Pein never bothered to look for Hidan when we got the news he had been buried. We all assumed he was dead. Kakuzu? We didn't bother to get his body back. He was a corpse. Similar situations with Deidara and Itachi. Pein never checked his associates to see if they were actually still alive. Maybe if he had done so back then, the Akatsuki would of triumphed… instead of having just one lone member who hides in the shadows. Maybe if he had done so…. And got some of his members back… Nagato would of still been alive…along with the others…. but…. I don't want to think about that.

Hidan sobbed harder. He weakly moved his head a little closer to my neck. I felt his tears and snot on my shoulder. I petted his bare back gently. He was definitely different from how I vaguely remember him. Always loud, swearing, complaining, yelling at Pein and Kakuzu all the time… Now…. He seemed quiet, scared, freighted… He was a little lost child that ran away from home….. now coming back and saying he was sorry he had misbehaved before.

"Hidan…" I started.

He made no sound. He just continued to cry.

"Hidan…" I said again.

Again. He didn't respond. I then grabbed his shoulders and held him so he had to look at me in the eye. My cloak fell off his shoulders a little. His violet eyes were wet with tears… He looked away… ashamed….

"Hidan…" I said. "What happened, are you alright?"

His eyes slowly forced their way up to look at me. He was like a timid little animal. He stared at me dumbly. A blank, fearful, unblinking stare. No recognition showed on his eyes. Did he not remember me? Well, I believe we only meet once in person. There must have been at least a full five minutes of silence between us. I examined his face. His whole left eye was swollen, and a few bruises throughout his body. The stitches traveled around most of his body everywhere from where I patched him up. His skin was grey pale, nearly corpse like.. I knew that Hidan was far from alright. From the way he was moving, I could tell that his brain's muscle memory had been lost. His hair… once I vaguely remember was slicked back, had grown out, even in that hole, but it had grown out in a tangled way.. frayed here and there… He smelled of death. And he looked even worse. His eyes were red, and I could tell this wasn't the first time he had cried while down there. His eyes were fearful and apprehensive as opposed to the violent arrogance I used to see in his hologram form…. He looked so scared of everything….. Hidan stared at me a long time, before finally, weakly, looking down, trying to use hair to hide his face. I hesitated… I then moved some silver stands away from his face, gently.

His eyes snapped up and looked at me. Wide and fearful, and he looked like he was going to cry again.

"Your not going to talk to me?" I asked gently as if I was speaking to a child. Hidan stared at me. He said nothing, but had a pleading, begging look on his face. He didn't want to talk. Was he that emotionally hurt? I got my answer when I noticed that his lower lip trembled slightly, as one did before bursting into tears. I then held him again.

"It's okay." I said softly. "Don't cry….You don't need to talk….I won't make you…" I then, heard something of what sounded like a sigh of relief, and I felt a few last tears on my shoulder. I rubbed his back slightly. He was so cold… almost like a corpse. He stayed on my shoulder for a long time…. Then I realized, if we stayed like this, we would be discovered by the Narra clan's deer in no time, and no doubt, they will inform Konaha ninja. I did not want them eliminating the last of Akatsuki again.

"Hidan…" I began. But I got the typical silent response. I sighed and gently pushed him off of my shoulders, then I saw his eyes were closed, and he was breathing deeply. He was asleep. I stared at him concerned. His eyes were still wet with tears, his hair was a mess, and he looked so pale and dirty. He was covered in dirt and dried blood. I felt pity for him. Why hadn't Pein sent us to rescue him when we first learned he was immobilized? Why did we leave him for dead? I couldn't help feeling guilty. When I had abandoned Akatsuki, I abandoned him as well….. I shook my head, that didn't help the situation now. I then lifted him a little, and slipped my cloak around his naked form. He didn't stir. I slowly and gently lifted him into my hands. I looked as his expression as he slept. He had a look of defeat on his face, as his eyes still remained wet with tears. He was broken. I brushed a loose strand of hair away from his eyes. I then began running, carrying him bridal style. He was heavy. Once we were out of the forest, then I could use my wings to make a quick getaway. I did not want to inform the Kohana ninja I had just dug up an Akatsuki member. They might get the wrong idea. I was only doing this out of concern, and perhaps…. Nostalgia…

As soon as we were in the clearing, and out of the woods, I unfolded my paper wings. I held Hidan firmly, so he wouldn't fall, and we both flew up into the sky. I couldn't stop staring at him. Even when I was airborne. His expression was so sad and brokenhearted, even while sleeping.

…

It was a long trip, and Hidan didn't even wake up once. I was surprised at how exhausted he was, but I reminded myself, that his body is probably just recovering. He's spent eleven years without a body… he probably wasn't accustomed to it as well as he used to be. By the time we arrived in Amegakure, it was nighttime. I flew silently and landed on top of a very tall building. My paper retracted and became my skin again. I could enter through the roof. I didn't want to go to the front entrance, holding Hidan, who looked like a corpse in my arms. I walked towards the door and opened it, we went down a couple flights of stairs, and then entered into a large room. In fact, the very same room where Pein, Madara, and I had meet after Deidara's death. This building of the city was still where the village leader stayed, and ruled Amegakure. That was me. I had taken over after Nagato had scarified himself for peace. Although, I had never mentioned to the townsfolk that their God was dead, for the sake of political purposes. Since no villager has laid eyes on him before everything worked out fine.

I had done things to the dark and dreary room since then, to make it feel more like a home for myself. No one else was in here. Good. It worked better that way. I sat Hidan down on the couch. He didn't stir. He continued to slumber. I stared at him. I felt so bad. Complete and utter isolation for eleven years. I should of rescued him sooner. His body was so cold. He still looked like a corpse. I hesitated, then I slipped my cloak off his shoulders. I then began rubbing his bare chest to get the blood flowing a little. He continued to sleep soundlessly, the same look of despair on his face. I continued to rub his chest, his whole body was like ice.

…

Poor Hidan.

I don't know how long I was at it, but I awoke the next morning to a freighted whimper. I blinked my eyes open. Sun was shining through the window, and I determined it was morning. I had fallen asleep on his chest. Hidan stared at me, his violet orbs wide with panic, as he looked around the room. I understood.

"It's okay." I said. "I brought you here. I live here." Hidan then stared at me. It seemed to put him at ease. He took a deep breath. And stared at the ceiling. He had calmed down a little from when I first got him out of that hole but he still seemed in a bad state of mind. I realized it wasn't me he was scared off. If he's at ease with me saying such a thing… He seems to trust me, but seems freighted of anything that is new to him. I examined his face and body. There was a little color was returning but not much. I placed my hands on his chest. Then his eyes turned really wide. As if he was afraid I would hurt him.

"It's alright…" I explained. "I'm just trying to get the blood flowing through your body." I said as I began rubbing his chest again. As I did, I noticed that his breathing quickened and became slightly irregular. I ignored it, and continued rubbing his chest. I didn't stop until that was then I noticed he was trembling. I stopped, and looked at his face. He looked away, embarrassed, as if he had been caught doing something he shouldn't have.

"Hidan? What is it?" I asked.

He didn't look at me. Then, I began rubbing his chest again. As I did so, I realized he was holding his breath. I raised an eyebrow. Then, as my hands moved off his chest, my fingers grazed his ribs.

"PTThaheehe…" Hidan laughed a little bit. Then he stared at me, slightly horrified. I blinked.

"Your ticklish?" I asked him, trying not to laugh. Hidan. S-ranked criminal. Jashinist worshiper. Crazied killer. Sailor Mouth…. Was ticklish?

Hidan glared a little at me, failing to see what was funny about it. I smirked, and began actually tickling his ribs.

"AAAAAH! hahahahahahahahhHHAaaaa!" He laughed and his body started convulsing as his brain struggled to remember how to move his limbs to defend himself. I then eased back a little bit. Because it wasn't entirely fair to me seeing him like that. Seemed unfair. Hidan panted for breath and let out a few sighed laughs. I smiled and giggled. Hidan looked at me. He didn't seem to like it. He had a look of distain on his face, and a little apprehensive shyness. His eyes shifted slightly.

"I won't do that again." I said. "I promise." I placed my hands on his chest again, and he tensed up. I began rubbing to get the blood flowing again, careful to avoid his ribs. I herd a small chuckle emerge from his throat. I smiled slightly. "Never pictured you the ticklish type." Hidan's eyes shifted, and he looked away from me. He was embarrassed. I examined his body. The color was slowly coming back, but it was so faint. He still looked like a living corpse. I knew it would take me hours for the blood to properly flow in his system. I stood up. Hidan's eyes widened in shock. I then turned around, but stopped when I realized he was touching me. I looked back. Hidan's eyes looked pleading and fearful. He stared hopelessly at me. I stared shocked. His arm was raised. He willed himself to move his arm. From the way it was positioned, it looked like he tried to grab me, but because of the weak blood flow, and lack of muscle memory, the best he could do was touch part of my clothing with his outstretched fingers. He blinked at me, a horrified expression on his face. It took me awhile to realize what he was scared off.

"Oh! No, Hidan…" I took his hand, and knelt by him. "I'm not going to leave you, I'm just thinking giving you a bath would be better then me rubbing your chest for hours.."

Hidan still looked horrified. He didn't want to be left alone. Even for a few seconds. Of course. Complete isolation for eleven years, he was sure to have abandonment issues.

"Hidan. It's alright." I said. Rather as a form of comfort, I said it as a statement of fact. Hidan stared at me with fascination and curiosity. He blinked. Then his hand fell to his side. He stared at me with narrowed eyes. I blinked. I didn't understand. He didn't appear angry. Hidan continued to look at me, unblinking. He was staring at me as if I was a complex math problem or something.

"I'll be back." I said.

Hidan stared.

He then gave a slight weak nod of his head. Showing it was okay. I left for the bathroom, and began filling the tub with hot water. I made sure it was warm as possible without burning him. We really needed to get his blood flow back to his body. When I found it was the right temperature, I went back to Hidan. I found him staring at the ceiling, as if in a trance. He was thinking about something.

"Hidan" I said.

He weakly turned his head.

"Can you walk?" I asked him. A stupid question.

Hidan stared at me. I stared back. There was a long silence. Hidan then shook his head. Of course he couldn't. I then grabbed his arm, and hoisted his weight onto my shoulders. I gasped as his whole weight came down on me. I nearly fell over. I blinked a few times, and stared at him. I didn't just expect him to fall back. Hidan stared at me, despite his pale face, I noticed a light blush on his cheeks. His purple orbs for eyes shifted nervously. He looked away from me.

"Tch." He replied angrily.

I couldn't help but give myself a small smile. "I thought you didn't want to talk." I said.

Hidan glared at me. He was very embarrassed of himself. He had forgotten how to walk. I can't necessarily blame him though. I think I would too if I was in his same situation.

"It's alright.." I said, as I dragged his deadweight into the bathroom. I caught him out of the corner of my eye as I carried him. Hidan was staring at me intently. It was an very intense curious stare. There was no way I could really describe the way he was looking at me. His eyes shone bright at me with the innocence and curiosity of a two year old. I wondered what he kept staring at. He seemed to be searching me. What was he looking for? What was he thinking about? I don't even think he noticed when we were in the bathroom until I told him.

"Hidan…"

That angel… my savoir…. I found…. Was truly amazing. She had a certain way of doing things. Her voice held a certain enchantment for me….. Everything that she said seemed to come out in a way that was as matter a fact and to the point as possible. She didn't seem to speak much, except only when absolutely necessary. She seemed to be appreciative of silence…. While I kinda liked that…. It tortured me. I had been so long without human contact, I really would love to hear her voice in my ears…. Since I don't want to talk myself….. I just wanted to hear her. And even though I was basically butt-ass-naked in front of her except for her cloak, she never seemed to be embarrassed of me. Somehow, it made me feel strangely comfortable in her presence… The expression she held when she did everything for me… It seemed like stone. Like rock. She held almost no expression, even when she laughed, even though the laugh was purely genuine. Everything she did, was full of so much compassion for me, but, she held no expression. She even held none when I realized I couldn't even remember how to fucking walk. Just that cold stare. I couldn't really tell what she thought of me… She really fucking confused me, and scared me at the same time…. Why did she want me…? What was I here for? While I trusted my savoir…. Well….. I wanted to trust my savoir….I didn't know her…. I couldn't remember ever meeting a woman like this and if I had, I'd think I'd remember….

"Hidan."

My name. I still had trouble getting used to hearing it. I blinked. I noticed her auburn eyes staring at me intensely, then motioned downwards. My gaze followed hers. We were both standing in front of a tub of steaming hot water. We were at the bathroom already? I hadn't realized… Come to think of it, I hadn't realized I had been staring at her. I struggled to move my head back to her. I succeeded. I stared at her, a bit nervously. While I knew what was coming next, I still felt slightly embarrassed. My angel stared back at me. That same expressionless look on her face. She seemed unfazed by it. She didn't even blink. I looked away from her piercing eyes. She was slightly intimidating. I wondered…. How could I still be a little embarrassed over something as stupid as this? I had been trapped in that hole for eleven years… completely broken…. How could I still have a little pride after all of that….? I still can't believe she would rescue me of all people…. My savoir rubbed my shoulder slightly. I blinked and weakly looked up at her. She had that same emotionless expression on her face. For some reason or another, she made me feel safe. She never seemed embarrassed around my naked form, so why should this time be any different? I nodded my head, weakly, telling her I was ready… then I noticed some strands of hair fell into my eyes. I wasn't used to that. It must of grown out in that hellhole. She understood slipped her cloak off of me. I watched her intently, timidly. She didn't even have the desire to look down at my lower regions. She just seemed to handle the business of undressing me, as if it was the simple task of…. Checking the fucking mail or something. She always had this certain grace about her. Everything was matter-of-fact. No movement was wasted. Because of that… I didn't feel threatened by her… I know my angel would never hurt me. I trusted her. She saved me when everyone else had forgotten about me. She-

"YYYAAAAAHHH!" I yelped as I suddenly felt my toes touching scalding hot water. I blinked. I didn't even realize she had begun hoisting me into the tub.

"Sorry Hidan, but we need to get your blood flowing as soon as possible, so it might be a little hot.."

She said as she lowered me down slowly. I yelped again as my ass then touched the steaming hot water. I cringed, as she lowered my whole body into the burning water. She then let go of me and let me there. I cringed and panted a couple of times.. Fuck… she wasn't kidding about this shit being HOT! I cringed one last time, as I began to get used to it a little. I felt the hot water flow around my cold corpse-like body. I sighed. It wasn't half bad.. It actually felt kind of nice… I closed my eyes. Then I was able to remember how great showers were….. been so long… eleven years…. I had nearly forgotten about all that personal hygiene shit I took so much pride in, I'm sure… I haven't cleaned myself in eleven years…. I must of stank something fierce too. I slunk a little lower in the tub, my eyes still closed. It felt really nice. Despite the fact that the water was scalding hot, I liked it. I couldn't explain why, but it felt great. I felt myself almost dozing off. Sleep had become so habit for me in that fucking hole, that it was hard for me to break. And the water…..was really relaxing…I felt myself drifting off in the tub.

"Not that bad is it?" she asked smugly.

I blinked opened my eyes and stared at her tiredly. It did feel great. I had nearly forgotten how this felt like. It just seemed so calming. I begun to close my eyes again, then I felt something on my chest. I opened my eyes. I noticed she was going over me with a sponge. I giggled slightly. It tickled. My angel looked back at me.

"Sorry…" she apologized, knowing I was a little fucking…. ticklish… "But you have eleven years of dirt and dried blood all over you. Plus that wound on your chest." She explained. Wound? I looked down. The gaping hole on my chest was already beginning to heal at an alarming rate, but there was still blood everywhere.

I nodded sleepily closing my eyes as I drifted off again. I felt her scrub most of every inch of my body. She was very gentle, but firm. She was extremely careful to avoid my new stitches. This hot water and the way she washed me was quite soothing. I snored softly. I was only half asleep. I think I was about to fully fall asleep, until I felt a hot washcloth in my face. My eyes shot open and I gave a muffled cry of surprise. She was washing my face.

"You got a lot of dried blood on your face from when you got blown up…" She said. "It almost looks like a beard."

I blinked a couple of times as she wiped my chin and mouth as if I was some toddler who got some ice cream on his face. Then she washed a little of my forehead. I twitched and yelped when she hit the bump right above my eye. It fucking hurt like a bitch when ya touched it.

"Shh…. Easy Hidan.." she said gently as she massaged around that area as delicately as she could. I closed my eyes and whimpered slightly. It still hurt, but she was being gentle about it. Finally, she removed it from the sore area on my head. I sighed a little in relief.

"Nasty bump there." I heard her say. I felt myself drifting off again slightly. I'm surprised how quickly I tire of energy. I then startled myself awake again when I felt a sponge in my…. Lower regions. My eyes shot at her at panic. She stared at me. Her face blank. What the hell was she doing?

"Hidan, calm down…" she said soothingly. "It's just another part of your body that needs to be cleaned. Normally, I wouldn't use soap down there…. but every part of your body is filthy."

I….. I know that…. but….. still…. I….

"Your blushing." She said matter-a-factly.

My eyes widened. Was I? I think I felt myself growing a bit redder at her comment.

She lifted up the sponge and held it too me.

"Look, if you could do this yourself, I would let you. Because sure as hell, I don't want to do it."

I stared at the sponge. Then at her. I tried moving one of my hands to grab it. I managed to twitch my first finger, and one of my toes but that was it.

My angel gave a small smile. "It looks like the bloodflow in your body is slowly recovering, but your muscle memory is still pretty shot. You best take it easy these few weeks okay?"

Take it easy? What else could I do…. I didn't want to do anything. I had remembered I used to kill for my god, and their were requirements and limitations meant for that. But these were my own terms. I could do that when I wanted now, and I didn't feel like it. I smiled. It felt great thinking like that. It wasn't laziness. No. It was more like, exercising my new rights. I can kill. I like to kill, but I don't want to now. I snickered a little in my head at the thought: 'to kill, or not to kill… that is the question…'

What was that from? I know I barely have no memory, so what was that? I knew it was something… I can't remember the name… Shakebeer? That's what I called him I remember but I doubt that was the guy's real name….. I barely remember it… and that memory of it didn't really recover well, so 'shakebeer' probably really meant nothing to me. Then why did I remember it?

Did someone I kno-"OH! A-AH!"

All thought was stopped and I cringed slightly as I was aware of the sponge cleaning my lower regions.

"Sorry." My angel replied when she saw my expression, and she continued a little more carefully and gently. The way she was going about it… There was nothing sexual about it. It was just a simple cleaning. But still, I was aware of it… every single movement she made down there….she was so gentle… and it was a little hard for me not to feel slightly aroused… I secretly thanked myself for my weak bloodflow… otherwise, I'm about 100% certain I would have a boner. Although, this cleaning of my privates only lasted about a minute or less…. It felt like forever in my mind…

She took the sponge away and my tired eyes traced her movements…

"There, that wasn't so bad was it?" she said in her same cold voice.

I just stared at her. Her auburn eyes, that ice-like expression. That cold voice. My angel…. Was truly…amazing…

My state of slight arousal must of shown on my face because she slapped my cheek twice, as if she was scolding a child.

"Easy there, Tiger, calm down. It was just a cleaning you baby, don't get your hopes up." She smirked at me.

I blinked. I became embarrassed that I got a little aroused from that. I lowered my head and slunk lower in the tub. So much so that it looked like I was trying to drown myself. I submerged my whole head in the steaming hot water.

Hide me. I was better off in that hole….

My savoir pulled me out by my long mangy hair. I cringed in pain.

"Hidan, it's alright. No big deal. No need to feel embarrassed, right?"

But I was embarrassed. My eyes darted away nervously. I felt her hand stroke my face comfortingly.

"It's alright." She said.

I stared back at her. She looked at me gently with her auburn eyes.

She…. My angel…. I blinked slowly as I felt her hand caress my cheek…. I closed my eyes to her touch…her hands were so soft and gentle…..

….

SNAP!

Wha? Huh?

"Hidan, were you falling asleep?"

I stared at her. Was I asleep? I guess I was. I stared at her tiredly.

"Hidan, don't fall asleep in the tub, okay?"

I tiredly nodded. That would be hard to do. Considering I was very tired, and the hot water was fucking relaxing. I closed my eyes once more, but they shot open when I heard my angel got up and left me. My savoir! My angel! Don't leave me! Please don't leave me! My eyes darted around the room frantically, searching for her. Then I saw her come back to me, bottle of shampoo in hand. I sighed in relief. I hated being so pussy, but… after eleven years of being alone…. It really scares me to be left by myself.

"Now we have to do your hair." She said it as a fact. Like the way she always did.

I nodded tiredly….

…..

….

SNAP!

What? Who?

"Hidan… Don't fall asleep." She said annoyed as she had some shampoo in her hands.

I didn't even realize I had fallen asleep. Sleep had become so habit for me in that hole. I tire of energy so quickly.

I felt her hands go through my tangled mass of hair. I closed my eyes. Not because I was sleeping, but because it felt so good. Each knot she touched, the way she massaged my scalp, and the lather of soap that built up in my hair when she did it… it just felt like heaven. My head rolled to her touch, and she massaged gently. She was so gentle with me. I vaguely remembered, that gentleness was something I wasn't too found of in the past….. but now, it was something I needed. Something I wanted. I craved human kindness. Human contact… just being with this gentle creature was enough to make me happy. Not necessarily whole, but I knew I was recovering from the horrible state of mind that I was in when I was buried six feet under. I know I no longer wished I was dead. I was just scared of nearly everything new to me….which was practically everything considering I don't remember much of fucking anything… I just needed her and I knew that.

I moaned slightly as she massaged my scalp.

"I think your enjoying this too much." She coyly replied.

My head rolled to her touch, my eyes still closed. As she scrubbed the knots and tangles in my dirty hair. I found myself asleep again. I didn't realize I had been asleep until she dunked my head underwater to rinse. I coughed and sputtered. I looked at her, wide-eyed and terrified. She smirked.

"Asleep again?" she asked.

I blinked tiredly. Did I fall asleep again? Shit.. I must be tired…. My eyes grew wide when she slicked my wet hair back. As she did so, I realized my hair went past my shoulders.

"Your hair really grew out didn't it?" she remarked as she stroked her hand through it.

I wouldn't know. I can't really remember.

"Would you…. Mind if I cut it? You almost look like a mangy dog or a rock star with that long hair"

My eyes shifted nervously. Then I nodded.

My angel held up some scissors. Where did she get those? She must have been prepared to ask me that question… I gasped slightly as she snipped away at my hair with them. What was she doing back there?! I found myself shifting in the tub, not even realizing I was moving my body. My angel placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Hidan, relax. I'll only cut it just so it grazes the shoulders. Like it used to be, right?"

Was that how it used to be? And how did she know..?

She gave me a small smile. "And it's great your regaining some muscle memory, too! Good job, Hidan."

I blinked fearfully. Good job? Good job? I tried to think of one time I ever remembered my god ever giving me praise for a good job for anything I did for it. Not one fucking time. I remembered I killed so many fucking times for him in a fashion most fitting so it worked for my god. Did my god ever give me any praise…. No. never. After everything I did for it…. And in the end, my god disowned me… god has left me. As if I was nothing. I don't even remember being told good job by anyone else in this planet. That was the first time I ever remember hearing those exact words addressed to me. Shaky as my memory was, I was sure of it. And what was she really congratulating me for? Just because I figured out how to move my body a little? It's not that big of accomplishment. The only real thing of value, I've done in these past eleven years is nothing. I'm still worthless. I don't understand why she bothers with me.

"Hidan?" my angel asked curiously. She stopped cutting.

I looked at her.

"Are you crying?"

I sniffed. I didn't fucking care if she saw. I was just touched by how much my angel really cared about a piece of shit like me. I really think she was wasting her time with me though. If I was her, I would of left me alone.

I gasped as my angel brushed my tears out of my eyes.

She sighed and shook her head. "Sometimes, I wish you would just talk to me…I'm not a mindreader you know.."

I blinked fearfully.

"You don't have too. There's no pressure Hidan. Whenever you want to."

I didn't really want to talk. I remembered how. Of course. My form of human speech was still in tact… but…..Talking hurt me… I'm afraid…. Of what exactly, I don't know. I just don't want to talk. I looked down. My angel sighed. She understood. She stroked my face in compassion and understanding. I closed my eyes to her graceful touch. She then stopped and continued cutting my hair.

I tried my best to stay awake during this time. I didn't want her hand to slip and risk me having a shaved head. Once in awhile, my eyelids would get heavy. My angel seemed extremely observant of me during this time, and every time that my eyelids drooped or it looked like I was nodding off, she would snap her fingers in front of my face, startling me awake until I drifted off again. After what seemed like hours of being forced to stay awake while she trimmed my hair, she finally said,

"There. Done." She set the scissors down on the floor.

I sighed. A little relieved that she would stop snapping her fingers in my face every time I wanted to sleep. I turned my head to her, a little pleading look on my face.

Can I go to bed now? Please Angel? I'm fucking tired. My body is warm and I can move my fucking toes. Doesn't mean I haven't cured the damn sleeping habit.

My savoir blinked and stared at me. I was slightly irritated. I want to fucking sleep. What?

"Been awhile since I've seen your face. Almost forgot how cute you looked."

I blinked. I was cute? Wait…. She knew me? My angel knew me before? From where….? I blinked, shocked. If she knew me, she was associated with me. In some way, shape or form. Although I can't remember the terms of our relationship… I know that…. she just wasn't an angel. She's more then that. She knew me before. An associate, or perhaps…. A friend had come and got me. The one person who could remember me. She didn't leave me to rot. Everyone else had forgotten. I felt tears in my eyes again. Dammit. I'm a god damn fucking crybaby. God damn…

"Hidan?" My angel asked startled. "W-what's wrong?"

I stared at her. I shook my head. I struggled to reach my trembling hand to my face, to wipe my tears. I missed about five times, before succeeding. My angel took my hand. I looked at her.

"Good job, Hidan." She said giving a small smile. Congratulating me yet again.

I don't understand her. Everything about her. Just the grace that she held and even the comfort and support she gives me, her expression always holds an icy quality. But she isn't ice herself. She's so caring, gentle and compassionate. She went out of her way to get me back. For what reason…. Why….. Why…..

My eyelids closed. And I fell asleep there.
