Chapter Text

It was rather rare to have two Teams in one of the safe-houses. Especially when they cross paths coincidentally. Normally the older male wouldn’t really mind, he was in the room counting money, taking care of the books, updating information on bounties. Important things, brew some tea, eat a little, maybe even have a conversation with one of the members, Kisame was always nice to have around, even Itachi, he was young but he was not a kid anymore. Sasori also knew politics and wasn’t as creepy as everyone thought. The problem was their respective partners.

Deidara and Hidan were pure chaos. Their Leader once made a big mistake, putting those two together in a Team. The mission had been a complete disaster. The village they were to infiltrate lay in ruins after those two were done.

Since then everybody has separated them. EVERYBODY, even when they meet in private, like now, cause mayhem and chaos.

Hidan rarely drank alcohol. His religion saw it as a sin and Hidan himself disliked its effects, even though they normally wore off faster due to his immortality.

Right now however Hidan was drinking till late in the night together with the other lunatic, Several times Sasori and Kakuzu had to step in to stop the two from blowing up the safe-house or killing each other.

Kakuzu had already taken a shower and was only sitting there in comfortable pants. It was too warm so he didn’t wear a Shirt or his Mask. He enjoyed the cool breezes coming from the outside on his hot skin.

He was deep in counting his money when the door opened and Hidan stepped in. Drunk. Kakuzu looked up, wary of the other. As always he didn’t wear a shirt as well and his normally, meticulously slicked back hair was a little messy with a few strains hanging into his face.

Kakuzu expected some trash talk, a small fight between them before Hidan finally fell deeply asleep. However, he miscalculated. Instead of verbally attacking him the Albino suddenly wrapped his arms from behind him around the older male. Kakuzu immediately smelled the alcohol. “You’re drunk” the old bounty hunter grumbled as he felt the older male’s arms on his chest. “Yeah…. so what?” the younger one slurred rolling his eyes and almost stumbling over.

“More importantly…” he purred carefully massaging the older male’s shoulders “I would really like to spend some time with you” he smirked letting his hands slowly wander downwards and over the other male’s broad chest “Are you… Really trying to seduce me?” Kakuzu annoyedly massaged his temple before Hidan tried a different approach.

Grinning he sat himself on the lap of the older male “Why not? I am good-looking!” the younger one said with the confidence of a whole village. Kakuzu would lie if he would deny it. Hidan had pure perfect skin, there was no scar, no impurities and he was well-defined as well. “What do you want Hidan?” Kakuzu was visibly annoyed by the other male’s behaviour.
“Quality time with my partner?” he asked, looking the other male directly in the eyes as he bent down to kiss him. Grumbling, the older male stopped him by placing his hand harshly over his mouth. “Fuck off, go to sleep, you are drunk” he shoved the other male's face away, earning a growl from the other. It possibly took Hidan everything not to talk back.

“Come on Kuzu, don’t be like that… I am horny, I am willing, I am right here…” he said, letting his hands wander over the upper body of his partner “You are… annoying…” Kakuzu grumbled as he stood up together with Hidan. “You’re drunk!” he tried to put the other male in his bed “Go to sleep” he ordered and was unfocused for the blink of an eye.

Long enough for Hidan. Even in this state, he used dirty tricks, pinning the older male on the bed while he sat on top of him “Come on Kakuzu let us work on our teamwork” he purred, grabbing Kakuzu's hands and almost forcing him to touch the other male’s body.

Well, the older male was amazed by the braveness and stupidity the younger one had. Doing or rather forcing himself onto the other. “I know you want it old man, I can feel it” he teased the other male moving on top of him. “You’re a nuisance…” the bounty hunter growled, forcing Hidan to let go of one of his hands and punch him directly in the face.

The Albino rolled back holding his nose which was bleeding “You fucking bastard!” he cried out “I didn’t even break it…” Kakuzu shrugged, not even trying to defend himself. He saw his partner still being aroused and shook his head. “Sleep Hidan!'' The bounty hunter got up and wanted to leave but was stopped.

“Wait!” Hidan had grabbed one of his hands, the older one was ready to hit and curse him again when he met the eyes of the other. Somehow he calmed down “I’m not angry…. just… annoyed by your behavior” he explained and saw the other visibly relax and let go of him.

The younger one didn’t want his partner to be mad or angry at him.

“Yeah… how annoying that I think you are attractive enough to fuck me….” pouting Hidan let himself flop on his bed “What a REAL pain in the ass” he snickered over his “clever” reply.

He really was drunk when his words didn’t have the usual bite… or sass.

“You really think, just because I fuck you I wouldn’t get angry at you?” the older man asked snortingly, “No, but a blow job would certainly distract you….” Hidan joked sitting up and holding his head “Besides… everybody else wants me for my body so why not you?” the male asked almost mindlessly as he tried to get his pants off. A hard task… for somebody as lazy and as drunk as him.

This statement caused Kakuzu to immediately stop in his tracks. “Did…” he really didn’t want to ask the question “Anybody….” he felt hot anger flare up inside of him “Did anybody in the organization force himself on you?” The thought alone made him want to kill something… someone. Memories tried to flood his brain but he forced them out again.

“What?” the Albino started to laugh almost hysterically “Nooooo no no noooo… SURPRISINGLY not!” he held his stomach while giggling very hard “We are all murderers and traitors but nobody is a rapist at least not that I know….” he shrugged as he smiled at the other “But I am PRETTY sure that someone is watching me masturbate sometimes and sadly… It’s not you”

Kakuzu felt how his anger slowly subsided and took a deep breath. “You are awfully honest when you are drunk telling me openly what you think of me” he needed to change the subject otherwise the older one would destroy something. “I tell you all the time… I am flirting with you openly and constantly… You never react or ignore me…” The Jashinist shrugged again before flopping back onto the bed and stretching.

“Huh…” was all Kakuzu said since he really didn’t remember nor care what the other one was saying to him. Most of the time he just heard him cursing or bragging or whining.
He was so used to his ongoing blabbing that he just zoned it out at one point.

Finally, Hidan was somewhat asleep so Kakuzu was able to get some rest as well.

The next morning Hidan was confused and then surprised but more confused. NORMALLY, when he would drink with the blonde he was aware that, at 6:00 am sharp, Kakuzu would throw him out of bed and they would leave for their mission. Probably because Hidan and Deidara were up to some shenanigans and Sasori and Kakuzu had it with them. Also most of the time, they wreaked havoc and destroyed something and Kakuzu had to replace it.

This time, however, the Albino wasn’t woken up very rudely, this time it was somewhat like 10:00 and he was able to sleep in. Which was very rare all in all together but to put the cherry on the icing, there were water and headache pills next to him on his nightstand. “Fuck… what happened to Kuzu?” he mumbled downing at least 3 tablets with the water. He felt terrible.

When he was finally up and not feeling like he wanted to puke every ten seconds he slowly walked down to the kitchen where he found his partner working over some books, Deidara dying of his hangover and Sasori pretending to work on one of his puppets when in reality he just enjoyed the miserable state Deidara was in.

Slowly Hidan rounded the table walking past Kakuzu and just slightly squeezing his shoulders before he brewed some really strong coffee, put a lot of sugar and milk in one mug and made a simply black one bringing it to Kakuzu, while he himself drank the sweet one and a lot of water.

The older male grumbled something when he got the new cup of coffee and looked up at the miserable state his partner was in, holding his head. The amethyst eyes looked back at his partner's green ones “Thanks for the pills…” Hidan mumbled massaging his temple “Go to sleep Hidan… I want you ready tomorrow morning!” the older one growled a little.

“Kuzu-” the older one shook his head “We have several bounty missions coming up, just be thankful that the books are all wrong” Kakuzu grumbled taking a sip from his coffee and then watching Hidan dragging himself back to bed.

A few hours later and feeling much much better he found not only Kakuzu in their room but also something to eat. There was a sandwich next to him and more water and some cold tea. The Albino slowly sat up looking a little better but was more confused with the kindness and niceness he was given from his partner. “You are awfully kind today…” he mumbled slowly getting up and walking over to his partner who was still deep in his work only answering with a humm, not really paying attention.

Mindlessly the younger one started to massage Kakuzu’s shoulders as kind of a payback for all the kindness he received from him. Softly sighing and leaning back enjoying the welcoming distraction. After sitting like a hunchback for hours this felt really really good for the older male and he closed his eyes for a moment. Hidan took the opportunity immediately “You know where else my hands would feel good?” he suddenly asked with that shit-eating grin on his face.

Kakuzu opened his eyes again, as he realized how much the other male was trying to flirt with him since they became teammates. No, that wasn’t true, the first time Hidan was trying something was when Kakuzu took off his shirt in front of the other male and flexed his muscles.

“You know where my fist would feel good?” Kakuzu replied, raising an eyebrow and looking up to the other. Defensive Hidan stopped immediately and raised his hands ``That didn’t mean you should stop” he then demanded grumbling turning his head away and sighing again als Hidan returned to massaging the older male’s shoulders “I am good enough to massage you but not good enough to share the bed with you?” he asked seductively into the other one's ear.

Kakuzu grumbled deeply “You are feeling good enough to flirt with me, you are feeling good enough to go on a mission!” his partner immediately let go of him “OK FINE!” Hidan grumbled and went to get a shower, Kakuzu snorted “Thought so…” he mumbled before continuing to do his books.

After Hidan stripped down in the shower and turned on the lukewarm water. Hidan sighed as he leaned against the cold tiles as he soaped in his body. Although his hands quickly wandered southwards massaging his already half-hard member.

Hidan gasped, arching his back and slowly moving his hand as he got hard thinking of Kakuzu's big chest, the dark skin on his and his big hands. “Fuck!” he moaned as he thought about his partner's hands moving over his body one between his legs pumping his hard cock while he would put his other hand on Hidan's throat slowly squeezing it. “Come on, choke me Daddy…” he moaned as he even started to move his hips bucking into his hands.

He enjoyed the water raining down on him while he masturbated and fantasized about all the things his partner could do to him. He came, the moment when Kakuzu ripped his heart out in his fantasy and moaned his name, loudly. A little bit too loud he thought when he was calming down. Relaxed and sighing, he turned on the cold water to properly shower. Kakuzu hated it when he would use the warm or even the hot one and he was so used to showering cold he didn’t mind anymore. Besides, after his fantasy, his skin was still sensitive and he really needed to cool down. “Forgive me Jashin” he mumbled softly.

The young male sighed deeply at the thought of being together with Kakuzu alone on the missions again. God, he really wished to get touched by the older male just once…. and not in the sense of being hit… well not in his face again.

When he stepped out of the shower only with a towel around his waist Kakuzu looked at him up and down. Hidan looked up and then grinned, flexing his muscles “Like what you see?” he asked broadly grinning with the other male raising an eyebrow “Is that a mole on your face?” the older one just asked grumbling.

Almost scared, Hidan looked at his side. “Wait what?” he hurried back into the bathroom examining his skin “Isn’t vanity a sin in your religion?” the bounty hunter asked more to himself than really to his partner, there was no mole of course.

Kakuzu used the moment where Hidan was frantically examining his body to adjust his pants. He felt his own cock throb from the sounds he had heard from the bathroom. That stupid brat had been moaning his name so loud that Kakuzu had been unable to focus.

The bounty hunter would lie if he would deny the attractiveness of his partner. He looked as if he was carved out of exquisite and expensive marble, with no impurities and only fine muscles defining his body with the perfectly slicked back silvery hair, that looked more attractive when it was slightly messy, and those god damned eyes looking like amethysts.

Kakuzu would have loved to lay hands on his partner, to ruin him thoroughly, BUT he was his partner and Kakuzu was too old for any kind of kindergarten that would come after sex, or their teamwork would suffer under it. Although it hadn’t really taken long for them to work together in combat. It was one of the best among the Akatsuki members. Kakuzu would hate to lose this teamwork just because they would satisfy their needs once.

There was nothing to gain from this than just momentarily pleasure.

Chapter Text

The first bounty mission went over like a breeze. The guards and the target had no chance whatsoever. Hidan was able to kill and perform the ritual to his heart's contents and hoped to please his god fully and completely.

However, The second mission didn’t go as planned and something was wrong. Takigakure seemed to have known about their target which had been weird. Nobody should have known except the Akatsuki but somehow they managed.

However, something was still off. Hidan felt it. When they went back to the safe house, Hidan stopped before going in. “This… is the fuck not right” Hidan mumbled looking around. Kakuzu stopped turning around halfway. “What's wrong?” the older one asked. “I don’t know Kuzu… it doesn't feel right…” the Albino sighed looking around and then watching as the other male reached out to him. “Come on…Hidan the money doesn't count itself”

Hidan sighed and walked over to his partner, pulling him close. “You know… I would really love to fuck you” The older male snorted and grabbed the younger one on his butt. “AFTER we count the money!” the older one promised and wanted to leave, when suddenly.

Kakuzu gasped as he looked down at the metal spear in his body. “Just so you know, Kakuzu would never behave like that…” the Albino said as he watched how the Genjutsu crumbled into shambles.

When the Genjutsu was lifted the fake Kakuzu fell to the ground gasping, coughing off blood from the metal spear he got through his chest from Hidan, revealing his true form of a masked Anbu.

“Fuck… I thought he was stupid enough to fall for it” one of them said, making Hidan grumble.

Of course, he remembered. They were attacking Kakuzu’s bounty and then… The Albino grumbled as he let a hand wander to his head. “What the fuck?” Only then did he realize what kind of situation he was in?

Around his left arm was a metal chain wrapped with which he was kept away from the Symbol. “Fucking BASTARDS!” Hidan shouted as he swung his Scythe to get the other one away from him, just to slam it hard on the ground.

Growling he tried to get his ground again back in the symbol. His left arm was wrapped in the chain on which two of the Anbu’s pulled to keep him from the circle. As far as Hidan could tell, he had killed 2 of them and injured 1 and there were still 2 pulling on that dumb chain.

“Look…” the injured one gasped “We don’t care about you… your partner is from Takigakure, we just want him!” he tried to reason with the Akatsuki member. Hidan tried to get back in the circle, while the other two tried to keep him away from him by pulling on the chain. It was a simple war of tug, just that his arm was part of the rope.

“Why..?” Hidan asked grunting, slowly moving backwards “Why should I?” he asked, fighting against the stronger getting pull. “We will leave you alone, you will be free to go!” the Anbu tried again. Hidan snorted as he pulled harder and was able to almost get back into the Symbol “Money, we give you money whatever you want! Your partner! We just need him!” The injured one was clearly slowly panicking.

“So this was a trap” The Jahshinist grinned sadistically as he relaxed his arm muscles. As he thought the two pulled harshly on the chain dislocating his shoulder as he slowly moved backwards, he could feel his arm stretched more and more, he could feel his muscles tear.

Hidan would have enjoyed every moment of it… IF he would be in the circle connected to his victim.

“I’m not gonna tell you anything! Jashin will love this sacrifice!” he grinned broadly as he slowly got back into the circle. However, the pain in his arm got less and less, he knew he would need to ask his partner to re-attach it as soon as he was done here and had found Kakuzu.

Luckily for him, he didn’t need to search very far or long for that matter. There was a loud rumbling coming from the earth as Kakuzu appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. The missing-nin had hardened his skin, attacking one of the Anbu’s who were pulling on the chains.

As soon as the tension was lost Hidan stumbled back into the Symbol, with a swift motion of his uninjured hand he stabbed himself in the heart, laughing maniacally as the pain rushed through his body and connected with one of the men who was now fighting his partner. The Anbu gasped, reaching for the place where Hidan had stabbed himself before he lost his balance and died on the spot. The Albino laughed maniacally “MORE!” he screamed with sheer glee as he took the Scythe in his good hand, charging forward and attacking together with his partner.

“Give me more blood! Let me see more pain!” He giggled almost mad as he swung his Scythe at the last standing Shinobi, striking him down in the name of his god. "Jashin, hear me!” he shouted at the heavens and the earth together as he watched the life drain from his victim.

As everything had calmed down again and Kakuzu had made sure that there were no survivors nor reinforcements, the older one turned around watching his partner struggle with his lack of chakra, his exhaustion and his dislocated arm.

The laughter of his partner was still ringing in his ears. Sometimes, even Kakuzu got a little scared of his younger partner. Slowly he walked over “Their goal was to separate us… I realized it too late” It was an explanation and an apology at the same time although… Well, it sounded more like an explanation. Kakuzu would never apologize.

“They wanted you…. even put me into a Genjutsu” the Albino mumbled and let his partner come closer.

Almost carefully the bounty hunter examined the arm and the shoulder and relocated it unceremoniously and without a word of warning making his partner wince and whine in agony. “That’ll do” the older one mumbled as he looked at his partner's arm and then met those tired amethyst eyes with his “What did you see in the Genjutsu?” Kakuzu asked out of curiosity and to distract Hidan from the pain he felt from relocating his shoulder. “Deidara making out with Sasori… it frightened me so much that I woke up” Hidan replied with a sassy undertone jokingly.

Kakuzu just snorted upon this reply. Yep, his partner is going to be just fine.

“I’ll do my ritual then we can leave Kakuzu” Not expecting an answer Hidan sat down in the symbol of his god to pray and complete the tedious ritual.

Hidan was a wreck, the Genjutsu made him realize something. They quickly found out about his slight crush on his partner trying to use it against him. If it wouldn’t have been a Genjutsu it wouldn’t have worked of course…. if those people were quick to get this information, then his god knew all too well about his desires and his wishes. Okay fine, his god SURELY knew about everything. Jashin was all-seeing and he would of course know about the thoughts of his loyal disciple.

Hidan’s mind ran amok, he wasn’t able to focus on the ritual and actually missed the crucial time frame but the exhaustion kicked in also, he was tired, too tired for his liking and he didn’t even realise that he slowly drifted into sleep. He needed to repent and ask for forgiveness from his god. He needed to do a proper ritual.

It was only hours later when Kakuzu thought that he was counting his money for far longer than usual, did he realize that Hidan had fallen asleep out of exhaustion.

Normally Kakuzu would wake him up and force him to leave.

Normally he wouldn’t care about the well-being of his partner.

Hidan had the opportunity to rat him out. Kakuzu knew he would have been able to be there for his partner much earlier.

As much as Kakuzu hated to admit it, the Albino had his utmost respect for him for not talking or even thinking to talk.
They even had put that idiot into a Genjutsu just for the chance of making him talk.
Miraculously Hidan was able to get free, somehow AND he kept his mouth shut.

Money wasn’t a drive for Hidan, it had never been. He would never say NO to a fight or the opportunity to kill for his stupid religion and his god HOWEVER….. however, his younger partner was a spiteful little brat who would rat out his grandmother just to get back at her.

Hidan had A LOT of reasons to be spiteful against his partner. Hell, Kakuzu would have been sure that if they kept sweet-talking him, Hidan would have considered it.

But the Albino didn’t even let them finish.

Kakuzu was sure that the man was somewhat loyal to him. For some reason, Hidan liked his partner. The bounty hunter wasn’t able to wrap his mind around it but he was sure that Hidan wouldn’t do anything to damage Kakuzu in any way on purpose.

But Hidan was a wrecking ball.

The older male stored his money tightly and securely before he slowly got up. Kakuzu took a deep breath as he looked down at his partner. The Albino looked very peaceful and calm when he slept, the most important part was that he kept his mouth shut.

“You’re a damn mess” the bounty hunter said and looked at the sky as it started to rain, again. “Oh great….” he mumbled and took another deep sigh.

“Hidan” he carefully poked the male on the ground with his foot and tried to wake him like that but the younger one didn’t react. “Are you pretending to sleep?” he asked grumbling and bent down then.

He shook his partner a little, and finally, the Albino woke up rubbing his head “W… What?” he asked, mumbling. He seemed dizzy and unfocused more than usual. “Are you good?” the older bounty hunter asked, raising an eyebrow. “Yah sure…” he mumbled and slowly got up. “Can we…. can we make a short rest? I really don’t feel very good….” he asked looking at the taller male.

The younger one looked so tired and more pale than usual. “Please Kakuzu I’ll pay you” Now the older one was sure that something was wrong. For a moment there was silence as Kakuzu looked over his younger partner. “There is a small cabin somewhere nearby. We’ll rest there”

The walk to the cabin was hell for Hidan, he felt too tired and too exhausted but most of all he felt lost and forsaken. He had repaid the gracious gifts of his god with disloyalty and tardiness.

At the cabin, Hidan took off his cloak, letting it fall to the floor and almost instantly collapsing on top of it and falling asleep, again.

The older male sighed and shook his head “What a mess…”

Kakuzu made the cabin ready for the night, ate and drank something before he started taking care of his money.

It was in the middle of the night when Kakuzu woke up suddenly “What the?” tired he looked around in the darkness and instinctively searched for his partner in the darkness but found the place just empty. “Seriously? "What the hell?” he asked tiredly as he slowly got up.

When he didn’t find his partner in the cabin he looked around and yes, there he was outside, in one of his stupid symbols.

It looked… mesmerizing, thanks to the new moon it was almost completely dark which made the skin of his partner stand out. It looked as if he was the moon now. It should be impossible but there was a radiance coming from his partner and like the moth flying to the light Kakuzu slowly came closer. That milky white glow looked so tempting and his hair almost looked silvery. The short moment he saw his partner's eyes they truly looked like beautiful gems.

The urge to touch him and to possess him grew stronger and stronger, but he stopped when he heard his partner wince and gasp in agony and pain. Kakuzu hid behind a tree as he watched Hidan desperately gasp and cut his chest open while mumbling words in a language Kakuzu didn’t know or understand.

“What the hell?” The bounty hunter stayed hidden behind a large stone as he watched the Albino cut open his chest and break his bones. “What….. are you doing?” Kakuzu asked himself, mumbling.

Hidan didn’t realize that his partner was watching the gruesome act of self-mutilation.

The veteran watched the horror in front of him, fighting down his own feelings of nausea and disgust.

The sound of cracking bones and blood gushing didn’t really help him especially when Hidan’s painful whimpers and groans grew louder. He tried desperately to muffle his sounds but couldn’t hold back his howls and pained screams when he entered his rib cage with his own hand.

Kakuzu had witnessed a lot, he even performed a difficult and self-mutilating jutus on himself. The Earth-Grudge-Fear had forced him to perform surgery on himself and his heart as well. He remembered the smell and the pain as his body changed. But this… this was different.

Hidan’s almost desperate cry made the bounty hunter snap back to reality. Gasping in tears his partner continued to mumble those words Kakuzu didn’t understand or maybe it was also the blood gurgling which was filling Hidan’s lungs and throat.

The last thing he heard was a low, almost begging “Forgive me” before there was silence.

It was almost a deafening silence.

Hidan had slumped down and his glow, his radiance was gone as well.

Kakuzu waited a while before he finally came forward. “Hidan?” he called out to him, not expecting an answer.

His partner had no chakra signature anywhere, anymore and his breathing had stopped as well.

Slowly and carefully Kakuzu rounded his partner standing in front of him.

He gulped as he saw the mesmerizing almost magic-forsaken scene in front of him.

Hidan had slumped down inside the symbol, the hole in his chest was dark, and black even sucking in every piece of light and leaving only a dark bottomless void all the while the face looked calm and sad. It was weird. Kakuzu had heard the painful holes and the cries in agony and now he saw the face with the slightly closed empty eyes. Eyes that had no light, and no life in them anymore. He seemed so sad and yet so calm, there were even still tears lingering on Hidan’s cheeks. Slowly Kakuzu let his eyes wander down to the fragile small thing in Hidan's hands which he held both offering and protective to… his god.

“Hidan….” Kakuzu’s voice was soft as he bent down. He thought about fixing him by using the earth's grudge against him but then…

The silence grew louder. MUCH louder.

His senses and his body reacted immediately, stopping him in his movements. His skin was itching and his hair stood up, goosebumps were forming when all of his senses and all of his instincts screamed and urged him to run, run and hide.

There was this deep-rooted instinct inside of him, his fight-and-flight response called for him and screamed at him to move and flee and hide.

The bounty hunter didn’t even realize that he had moved away from his dead partner until he fell backwards into one of the bushes.

His heart was racing and his breath was quickening. Fear like this, it was a long time since he had felt it. It was something primal calling and tugging on him. Urging him to flee, to just run but at the same time, he wasn’t able to continue to move.

That was the moment when everything turned black and Kakuzu woke up. It took him some moments to realize that it was still in the middle of the night. Slowly he sat up and rubbed his face when he heard some grumbling not far from him. “It’s in the middle of the night… We are not getting up…” he grumbled.

Kakuzu wanted to reply something but soon saw how Hidan shuffled closer and pulled him back down “No no no no no, sleep! For Jashins sake… a few more hours…” he grumbled and left a hand on Kakuzus chest.

“Hidan…” the older male started and heard now a loud variety of curses and swear words “No” was his last word before he moved closer and wrapped his whole arm around Kuzu preventing him in anyway to get up. “I don't want to get up and leave… I need a piss you idiot..”

More grumbling and shuffling and Kakuzu left, the cold fresh air did good, the feeling, this fear was still sitting deep although he couldn’t really remember what he was scared about or what he had been dreaming.

All of his hearts still beat fast as he finished up, shortly cleaned his hands and moved back to the warm cabin. He felt a little cold and rolled himself up again, just then did he feel the arm of his partner around his body again. Hidan, had never moved from the spot and was sleeping deeply again.

Somehow the presence of his partner and seeing him alive and… snoring made him feel extremely calm.

Chapter Text

Thanks to his relationships in the black markets and the “underground” Kakuzu, got word about a pretty big bounty. Some temple in the middle of a desert.

Hidan was of course not amused. ANOTHER bounty, ANOTHER horrendous long walk to a destination YEARS away from them.

During the travels to the desert area, Kakuzu’s patience was running thinner and thinner. It was too hot and too far, Hidan’s body was full of sand and his bragging and annoying blabbering were even more annoying than usual.

“For fucks sake Hidan… I’m gonna rip your fucking throat open!” he growled deeply as he turned around to the pale, younger male. “Come on, why can’t we rest up? It’s hot, I am tired, I am full of sand!”

“Yeah and your insides will be full of sand as well when I am done with you!” the older male growled deeply and reached out to him. The larger male detached his arm wrapping his hand around the Albino’s neck and crushing his windpipe. Slowly with the help of the tendrils, he re-attached his arm again.

“We are just about to enter this temple, you can kill and destroy to your heart's content, so you have to shut the fuck up!” it was no question it was an order, a deeply growled order, making the younger male’s body shiver and react almost immediately.

The thought of the older male choking him and mutilating him was arousing and made his pupils dilate in anticipation. Excitement coursed through his body and Kakuzu saw it, something else got mixed with his hatred but before it could grow or Kakuzu could even find out what it was he let go of his partner.

“Oh boohoo you’re just angry because you’re an old lonely perverted piece of shit!”

Kakuzu growled at his companion, of course, the smaller one started the argument first. As always. “Hidan…. I’ll tell you ONE more time… shut the FUCK UP!” Kakuzu almost yelled, striking his partner with the fist directly in the face.

The Albino gasped and stumbled backwards.

What happened next was hard to comprehend for both. Being in an argument their attention was focused on themselves. They noticed it too late, the attack and everything had happened too fast.

One moment Hidan wanted to attack his partner back, in the next instance Hidan found himself impaled and drowning in quicksand. “What the fuck?” was all, he could bring out as he saw Kakuzu, getting relentlessly attacked until they were covered in a weird cloud of sickly-sweet-smelling odour in a pink flash.

Hidan’s limbs felt numb as he breathed the weird cloud and got swallowed by the sand. He was sinking fast since the metal rods and his scythe were dragging him down, deeper into the crushing darkness.

He felt the deafening silence, deprived of his senses and crushed by tons and tons of sand unable to move.

For the first time in a long while, the Albino was scared and prayed to his god frantically and in a panic. He couldn’t move his body because of the poison he had breathed in and at the same time, he felt the crushing pressure of the sand grounding him and burying him, even getting into his lungs, filling him up. The darkness wasn’t even the problem, the sand filling his mouth and his nose, filling his lungs and ears however was making him almost claustrophobic. He didn’t die, of course, he wouldn’t die that easily but he was also not able to calm himself down.

He prayed to his god to save him and prayed that Kakuzu would finally get him. But he didn’t. Why didn’t Kakuzu get him? Was he that mad at him? Would he leave him there?

He could feel and hear his heart race and burst in his chest as unwanted memories flooded his brain with images. Memories he thought were forgotten, memories he desperately had tried to lock away forever.

His small hands clawing and scratching at wood, his screams were muffled and unheard 6 feet down buried in the soil. He had been just a kid, a fucking kid.

Finally, his god took pity on him, and Hidan was able to move again. Finally, he could claw, bite and crawl his way back out of the sand.

He never thought to be so glad to feel the relentless burning sensation of the desert sun on his skin. Gurgling and coughing he was able to get the sand out of his lungs and mouth and also partly out of his nostrils. Finally breathing and not feeling crushed anymore he stretched a little.

Hidan was shaking still in panic and fear, as he was looking around, searching for his partner, for his anchor. He rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times against the sun as he saw something shimmer. Slowly and more steadily Hidan got up and walked over taking his Partner’s head-piece in his hand.

More and more coming to his senses again he looked around, seeing traces of a fight, dead bodies splattered and already covered in sand. His partner though was nowhere to be found.

Looking around Hidan could make out where they left and dragged a body with them. He knew Kakuzu wouldn’t be dead, however, he didn’t know how much poisonous smoke they had used to get Kakuzu.

They were after him, he knew… thanks to their previous try to get to his partner.

"Jashin…guide me" the Albino mumbled letting his tongue click.

Hidan, now had a choice to make, save his partner or…. leave him to rot. Kakuzu would be able to get free, he was a very capable Ninja and a strong one. Probably one of the strongest to ever live in Hidan’s opinion.
The bounty hunter was intelligent, fast, strong and had a lot of knowledge, he was also fucking hot and Hidan admired him a little at least.

When Hidan was done gathering his things and drinking some water he sighed a little before starting to follow the tracks. Those Takigakure-Ninjas would be a fine sacrifice for Lord Jashin-Sama.

He needed to get back at them anyway, he wanted them to suffer, just as much as he did.

Kakuzu on the other hand was not very amused.

The attack they had launched at him had messed up the older male, pretty badly. At least 20 very skilled ninjas had been unleashed at him while constantly forced to take in this weird poisonous substance. Even his body had its limits in taking in only so much poison.

Long story short, now he was in some cell, his arms were bound by metal chains over his head, with a dozen seales applied to them and him, so his chakra was kept suppressed, sitting on an uncomfortable stone bench and leaning on the cold wet stone wall of his cell.

With pure strength, Kakuzu tried to break free with his tendrils but thanks to the toxin they forced him to breathe in masses, he was left defenseless and unable to break free.

“Shit….” Kakuzu growled in a low voice and let his head sink into his chest, letting his hair fall into his face.

For a moment he just sat and let his muscles and his body relax, leaning against the cold stone. His clothes were torn, and he had lost his shirt somewhere between the 3rd and 4th fights. He felt satisfaction when he thought about the many dead and the destruction he caused. Especially when they were from his old village.

It calmed him somewhat as he relaxed against his chains and ran several scenarios in his mind. There were a few things he could try and he still held some aces up his sleeve, he wanted to try not to play them however.

Of course, there was also the fact of the wild card, his wild card. Hidan. Although Kakuzu wouldnˋt bet on him after their little fallout they had just earlier where Kakuzu shouted at him.

Just when Kakuzu was about to test the chains again, his head jolted up when he heard screaming and shouting. It felt like hours when the first screams evaded and people hurried past his cell, shouting orders. He knew what that meant… his partner.

Hidan was either here to get him or kill him. Kakuzu needed to play his cards right.

Then suddenly, there was silence.

Kakuzu stopped immediately with what he was doing and listened closely. At first, the silence prolonged until he heard a door and shuffling then closer coming footsteps. The all too familiar footsteps came closer and Kakuzu readied himself.

“There you are, you old fu-” Hidan swallowed down as soon as he saw his partner in this delicious and helpless state.

He could see the muscles on his partner's arms down to his broad shoulders and further down to his massive pecs and abs. Kakuzu looked like a treat on a silver plate with his hair falling into his face and emerald eyes looking at him through them.

The Albino never had a problem with the black tendrils or scars or the masks on his partner's neck. The weird colour of Kakuzu’s eyes. No, for Hidan he looked almost like a… well he wouldn’t end that thought.

Hidan looked the older man over like a starving animal, a piece of tender and delicious meat.
A hunter its prey. “You look…. tied up” he snickered, licking his lips.

"Hidan.." the way Kakuzu let his name roll off his tongue made the Albino shiver, slowly he opened the cell and stepped inside. "Be a dear and free me…. I know you have the keys…" Kakuzu purred trying to lure him, although he was dangerously close to losing his temper.
The way Hidan looked at him, watched him, this hunger in his eyes was…. The older one took in a deep breath "Pretty please…"

It took him every ounce of concentration to crack a smile at him.

He tensed his muscles and displayed his body to lure his partner even more in, using Hidan’s weird… crush? To his advantage.

He wouldn’t kill the man he wanted to fuck, right? Right?

“I will free you Kakuzu, I will but I want something in return…” he purred, leaning closer to the older male. Hidan could make out Kakuzu’s scent. He smelled like oak, woods, something spicy.

Hidan was aroused by his scent and Kakuzu’s helpless state. He wanted to feel him, taste him and have his way with him. God Hidan would have loved to impale himself on the older male’s cock. He took the best next thing and simply sat down on his lap, just to taunt and tease the older male a little more.

The Albino continued to smirk broadly “A small deal… a REALLY small one Kakuzu” Kakuzu grumbled and almost launched at him if he wouldn’t be chained.

That little piece of shit, that little motherfucker. Kakuzu didn't even know that many names he wanted to call that fucking brat right now.

“What do you want?” he asked, watching the paler male closely. That idiot wanted to haggle? FINE, Kakuzu was a master haggler.

“Well, ONCE a month during our travels we sleep at an inn… that is not run down or infested with mice, bugs…or worse.” he explained “I want a nice one, one with an onsen…”

The veteran snorted, calculating in his head, and almost growled at the other male before he realized something Hidan said “Wanted? Past tense?” he asked, more relaxed now.

He saw the Albino's pale skin sullied with red splatters of blood and his muscles. He also felt his warmth and weight on top of him, the movement of his muscles and shifting of weight.

“Well yeah, I wanted to be reasonable with you since… you know us being partners…" Hidan purred, rolling his hips again, flexing his muscles in front of the older male. Hidan felt something big between his legs, sitting on top of the other male. "But now…" he bent forward letting his hands wander over the older male's chest and softly massaging his shoulders.

Kakuzu closed his eyes for a moment as he felt the male’s hips roll on top of him. Seeing him on top of him, imagining him riding him till his brains would come out running through his ears and nose, yeah those thoughts were dangerous for Kakuzu.

"So…. what else would you want?" Kakuzu wasn't so sure if he liked where this was going. He had to admit, however, that Hidan had some nerve and balls to blackmail him and pressure him into doing his bidding in this state. He felt almost proud.

Kakuzu opened his mouth when both heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Hidan cursed “I thought I killed everyone…” he mumbled looking around and picking up his scythe while staying on top of Kakuzu.

The prisoner watched impressed as Hidan wrapped his legs a little tighter around his partner, as he flexed his muscles and waited until the person came into few “What is-” The person wasn’t able to go further “Excuse the fuck us? We are negotiating over here!” Hidan shouted as he bent and threw his scythe with ease at the other male’s face, hitting him directly between its eyes.

The messed up truth was that Kakuzu thought it more than arousing. Fuck this was so hot, Hidan killing that nobody while he was haggling on top of him, flexing his muscles. "Sorry, where were we? Oh yeah…" he let a hand wander through his hair "Okay so, I want a nice inn once a month, together with a nice meal and a raise…" he demanded, stemming his hands into his hips and raising an eyebrow.

There went the whole mood. The spice, the sex appeal and the admiration he had felt for his younger partner had gone in the blink of an eye.

"You…. WHAT?" Kakuzu asked with a raising temper "Are you fucking mental brat? What else do you want? My last piece of clothing?" he asked angrily. Kakuzu rattled on the chains trying to break free with no avail.

Hidan smirked and grinned, then he pouted and got angry himself "Oh come on!!! This isn't too much to ask! Itachi is getting a raise! Why am I not getting one?" the Albino grumbled earning even more anger coming from his partner. "Because Itachi can perform his job well while YOU are just a fucking useless piece of shit!" he shouted trying to rattle at his chains again.

Hidan's expression changed almost immediately and got off of him. He stretched and came to his partner's side, slowly bending down and popping a shit-eating grin "I hope you rot in here…" the Albino clanked with the key, put it into his pocket and left the cell with it.

Kakuzu regretted his words almost immediately "No no wait BRAT!" he grumbled "FINE!" he hissed under gritted teeth "You get your fancy inn and your stupid meal but NO raise!"

Hidan sighed deeply, relaxing his shoulders a little and turning around pretending to think about it when in reality he knew Kakuzu wasn’t up for the raise, well he tried and he had enjoyed having him by his balls at least for a moment. "Fine… but first apologize…" he opened the door to the cell again and slowly walked inside.

"I… eerrr…." Kakuzu grumbled watching how Hidan came closer with that shit-eating grin and bent down in front of him "Go on… a-pol-lo-gize!" he announced some letters especially sassy while Kakuzu growled "I am…. sorry I shouted at you… do we have a deal now?"

Impatient Kakuzu stared back at Hidan, holding eye contact. Those Amethysts, he felt as if he would look him deeply into his soul or something like that. Kakuzu could even feel his cheeks warm up and his cock slightly twitch again. Fuck that little brat.

"Meh… fair enough…" Hidan said and opened his partner's chains and helped him out of them, before giving him his headpiece with the cut-through sign of his village.
"There you dropped that…" he said, offering it to him and sighing a little.

Kakuzu grumbled, taking it and looking at his partner "Fucking…" he swallowed the rest of his words "The bounty?" Kakuzu asked, making the Albino snicker "I wasn't sure if you need it alive or in one piece or if the head is enough… so… I stored it…. alive… just to make sure…." he confessed as the Albino took the lead.

When they stepped outside, Kakuzu felt his chakra returning, together with his strength. He stretched in the lowering sun and let his bone crack a little. Kakuzu took on his clothes and sighed a little before he continued to follow his partner. Said bounty was hidden unconscious under a pile of corpses.

“That was pretty clever…” Kakuzu complimented “Good job brat” he praised him and bent down, breaking the unconscious male’s neck and taking him up “All of it actually, taking out the whole temple and freeing me..”

Hidan nodded looking around “I know… I did all the hard dirty work…” the Albino agreed with a smile “I think I deserve a raise!” he purred, luring Kakuzu in with his charm and just failed miserably.

The older male tried not to bash his partner's head in “Let’s go… getting the bounty…” Kakuzu said, sighing deeply. “Fine, not a raise then…” Hidan pouted dramatically, throwing his hands in the air while following his partner. “Can I suck your cock then?”

Kakuzu almost tripped as he heard the question leave Hidan’s mouth looking at him confused and puzzled and deeply disturbed while the younger one passed him so utterly pleased with himself grinning from ear to ear.

Chapter Text

They had attacked the pair to get to Kakuzu two times now. They were bold enough to attack them outright in the open. They were either bold or stupid, or they had a plan.

Both times, there were surprise attacks, and both times, they have been solemnly focused on the Bounty Hunter. "Why, though?" It's not JUST because you are a village traitor… they would have tried something like that much much sooner… or did they?"

Hidan's questions were obvious, but they needed to be asked aloud and heard by the bounty hunter.

Kakuzu had thought about the reason, the obvious one being. Well, a village traitor, stealing the secret technique, killing not only the elders but a dozen others on the path as well, and establishing himself as one of the most successful bounty hunters, collecting dozens of them and joining an underground organization trying to get all the jinchuriki.

He couldn't think about the different reasons, but the obvious ones. "Well, it had been YEARS since they tried so boldly and openly to kill me or capture me."

"Hmmmhh…" Was all the Albino let out while he was cleaning and taking care of the Scythe. After their last mission, where they could kill their pursuers before they found the duo, Kakuzu finally decided to report back to their leader.

They finished the mission and a few small errands, and stumbled upon Scouts of Takigakure looking for them. So Pain decided to take them out of the active missions and leave them to travel between safehouses for a while, until they were sure nobody followed them and moved them to a safe location.

Much to Hidan's disdain, it was near his old village, Yugakure.

That is why Hidan behaved rather strangely in his partner's eyes. He wouldn't speak as much, go outside as much, and even sleep or do some training. The brat didn't even flirt with him anymore.

At first, the older male was amused, even happy, about his partner's silence for a while, but now, it just annoyed him.

However, things got worse. Not for Hidan, but he was the first to notice. He had been figuring it out for a while, but didn't say anything until now. Kakuzu was in pain, well, not pain, but in discomfort. The way he moved, the way he sat, the way he subconsciously moved differently to ease the part that was hurting or giving him discomfort. He had seen these signs before, but it had been years, so it took him so long to realize what was happening.

"One of your organs is failing; you need a new one, right?" The question—or rather, observation—completely threw Kakuzu off guard. He was so surprised that it took him a while to answer.

Had he always been this observant? "Yes," he answered in his deep voice. But it would keep going for a bit more; there was nothing to be concerned about," he assured him.

Hidan didn't bring it up for a few days until he continued to observe the other male's day-to-day routine, "It's an important one."

Kakuzu snorted, irritated, while counting his money. "Technically, all organs are important, but yes, Hidan, it is one of the more crucial ones." In silence, Hidan just stood there, watching him.

Kakuzu could feel his eyes on him until he sighed, "It's my liver."

"So, we go out, get some people. I need to sacrifice soon, and you need a liver, right?"

Kakuzu sighed, leaning back and rubbing his temple. "Hidan, the last couple of times we were on a mission, even if it had been a delivery, people were after us. I know it's unfair for you to be stuck with me and not out there slaughtering people happily, but they know you are my partner, and if they think you might know where I am, they will hunt you down, and also to have their hands on an Akatsuki member", he said and sighed a little.

"So, that's perfect then, they are looking for us, we let them come to us, I get my sacrifices in and you get the liver."

Kakuzu sighed deeply. "No, Hidan, we can't. Pain is dealing with it until we find out what exactly they want from me-"

"Well, that's fine; then I'll go out alone. I am strong enough to take on all of them!" Hidan growled, turning away.

Kakuzu snorted, "Hidan…." The older male knew he wouldn't let go, no matter what, especially not when it involved his stupid religion.

Slowly, Kakuzu got up, grunting, and Hidan watched him more closely than usual while he felt the discomfort. "It's not just your liver", he commented, almost amused. "You old fuck, you're dying, there are multiple organs involved."

The amusement and smug smile he saw on his partner's face made Kakuzu's blood boil. That little shit had been broody and depressed for days, and the moment Kakuzu showed weakness, he suddenly was alright again. It was infuriating that Hidan was right, and Kakuzu could snap his neck in half for his keen observation.

"Fine, but we need to be careful and fast. We will ambush the enemies," Hidan said, his eyes lit up with sheer glee and joy as he heard Kakuzu's words.

The bounty hunter gritted his teeth. None of his former partners were allowed to be near him when he took new organs; in fact, a few of his former partner'spartners' organs were currently inside of him. Again, Kakuzu rubbed his temple and grumbled something. He didn't like that one bit. He never liked showing his weakness to others. He always would disappear for a few days or hours, depending, so nobody would see him like that.

The fact that Hidan would be near him, even see him, like that, made Kakuzu mad. He almost wanted to break his spine so the fucker wouldn't move. But he knew better. Hidan was right, for once, he needed new organs, and the Albino, well, he needed his sacrifices.

"Hidan… you do as I say, understood?" The other male opened his mouth but couldn't speak or react to his partner. Kakuzu had him on his throat, choking him with one arm. "You do", he repeated slowly, his eyes almost clawing into the other males, while Hidan tried to open the chokehold.

Sometimes the younger one forgot about his partner's strength and speed and was brutally reminded of it in situations like that. He tried to open or at least ease the death grip around his throat, gasping desperately for air.

His attempts were futile, however, Kakuzu didn't budge, he didn't even blink or move an inch, fuck it didn't even look as if he was breathing.

The Albino could feel his arousal and his cock rise. Fuck, Kakuzu was so hot in his eyes.

"As I say", Kakuzu finished his sentence slowly, emphasizing every letter before he let go of Hidan.

Gasping and coughing, Hidan slumped down on the ground, filling his lungs with much-needed air. His lungs stung from the lack of oxygen and its sudden return. "I…… I understand," he said as his lungs desperately tried to fill themselves repeatedly until he breathed normally.

The plan was easy and effective. Kakuzu just took Hidan's idea of letting their pursuer come to them.

They decided to set the trap two days away from the safe house. It was interesting to see Hidan relax more and more as they got further away from Yugakure.

Kakuzu was curious about what was happening, but for now, he had more pressing matters to take care of. He was already bleeding internally and could taste the rotten blood in his mouth. This is going to be an exhausting exchange of organs.

The fight was hard, not because the enemies were strong, but because both struggled to keep themselves alive. Hidan had killed three of them during his ritual, of course, because he got carried away, and Kakuzu, well, he struggled to measure his strength so as not just to break their spines and throw them away like garbage.

Somehow, he had managed to knock one unconscious without much damage; the last one, however, was quite strong. Truthfully, Kakuzu admired him and his body. The way he moved and fought, he was sturdy, and he seemed healthy as well.

After a while, however, they, or Kakuzu, managed to knock two unconscious and tie them up while Hidan finished his ritual. "You know… YOU bragged about helping me and all that, but all you did was do your ritual," Kakuzu grumbled as he left. "HAH, did you think I would come because I wanted to help you? I wanted to have my ritual," he snorted, but jumped to his feet and followed Kakuzu back to the cabin.

"I knew…" he mumbled and let Hidan come nevertheless. It still was safer with him around than to travel and go alone. Truth to be told, it was a bit of a hassle bringing those two Anbu back to the safe house without killing them. Hidan and Kakuzu had to watch each other so as not just to stab them or break their necks, especially when they tried to run.

Kakuzu managed to break one of their legs, so at least one of the two wouldn't run. Hidan took care of the other one. He wasn't sure what he had said to that poor man when Hidan caught him, but he wouldn't dare to move.

They returned to the cabin and locked both Anbu's into the small cellar. "So… what happens next? How are you gonna do this? Like, are you gonna eat the organs? Or…." The Albino gave him a weirded-out look.

"This will be none of your concern, Hidan," he said as he gathered a few things. I… will be down in the basement for about a week… Do NOT come in, do not disturb me," he said, stopping in front of the door to turn around. Hidan thought that he would get violent again, threaten him, hurt him, crush his windpipe, or smash his head in to get the point across.

To his surprise, however, Kakuzu looked completely calm—he seemed too quiet. "I ask you… Please do as I say, Hidan. I don't want you to come down there", he sighed deeply as he saw Hidan's completely baffled face. Kakuzu just asked him to please be nice to him. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "I promise, when this is over, I'll take care of you…" With that, Kakuzu went into the basement.
Hidan just stood there for a moment and didn't know what the fuck just happened. By Jashin, he wished he had recorded Kakuzu or written everything down, to let him sign it.

Kakuzu, on the other hand, closed the door and shut it tight before descending into the darkness. When he turned on the light, he first ensured the two men were still out cold before taking a closer look at their bodies. They didn't seem to be hurt too badly, with minor bruises and dehydration—nothing Kakuzu wasn't able to work with.

The most important thing was that none of the organs were damaged. If one of them were sick, it would be rather annoying for Kakuzu because it would take longer for his body to kill the sickness and accept the organ into his system, but even that he could endure. A damaged organ, however, would be dangerous and time-consuming, especially since he would need to replace it again.

He removed the younger person's clothes from his upper body and raised an eyebrow. "Oh… you're a woman". Only then did he take off the mask of the Anbu and nod. "You put up a good fight… my respects to you…" he mumbled as he chained the woman tightly onto the large table.

Then he did the same to the other person. "You too," he commented while he prepared everything and sighed. One last time, he checked the door and then the restraints of the people.

Kakuzu sighed deeply as he started to cut the woman open. He grumbled, and he grew too complacent. For a few years now, Sasori had helped him and taken over this part of the organ change. He had also provided him with painkillers and a safe space far away from everyone.

Nobody to disturb him. Kakuzu had drugged both of them so that they would be asleep but still alive while he took out the organs. He needed them alive and fresh; those two had healthy ones, just as expected from ANBU's.

As soon as he opened up the person, he needed to move fast; it would bleed out soon, especially when he took the organs away. He carefully extracted the kidneys, leaving them in the body as he opened up his own.

With a gasp and painful groan, he reached inside of himself, fuck this will always be messed up, and it hurt so bad as he pulled out two blackened organs from his own body. The necrosis, this time, was bad. He kept himself on his feet with sheer willpower as he put the two healthy organs into his body.

Then the real pain started as his body needed to, sort of "clean" the two foreign organs. The black threads moved inside him as they connected the kidneys, washed out the foreign blood, and replaced it with his own.  He gasped and coughed, clawing at the table as his legs started to shake and his vision got blurry.

"Fuck” he gasped as his body moved the kidneys to their designated places. Did he REALLY need a new pancreas? Maybe…. maybe he could go on with the old one for a few more years…. yeah… and who needed a liver?

"Oh for fucks sake…" he gasped again as he cut out her stomach. "I'm taking your stomach and his pancreas…" he grumbled as he ripped out his stomach, causing him to vomit an almost black liquid and groan in pain again.

Meanwhile, Hidan was upstairs, fully aware of Kakuzu's groans, painful screams, and gurgling and gasping. He could practically feel the pain through the door.
He tried to open it several times, but his partner locked it tight, and Hidan was also a little scared of Kakuzu, so he could not open it.

Hidan was sure that Kakuzu would rip him apart and take his organs, just for fun and to see how far Hidan's immortality would go. Something the Albino wasn't too keen to find out, especially not like that.

Kakuzu, on the other hand, was cursing himself over and over again. Why did he wait so long to replace his organs? The first signs of necrosis were something like 2 years ago. He should have done every organ separately. But NO, he stupidly thought that replacing more of them at once would be more efficient.

Well, he was not wrong. Was he going to have some peace for the next 10 years again? But fuck, he should have changed them one by one and not waited until more were affected.

Both Anbu's where dead, finally, and Kakuzu was the proud owner of a few more organs and in a lot of pain.
Inside of him, the black tendrils moved the organs into place, sewing them into him where they belonged while his body desperately tried to make them his own by changing and adapting.

Kakuzu had curled up on the cold floor, his arms around his torso, which felt like it was on fire, while thousands of needles were puncturing him at the same time, over and over again. His new stomach felt as if it was turning inside out as Kakuzu vomited out the dark liquid again, as his body temperature skyrocketed, trying to kill every foreign bacterium and virus he might have gained from the foreign organs.

To make it worse, every single one of his hearts was beating out of sync—or at least it felt like it. He couldn't use his masks or his tendrils as he crawled forward to the makeshift camp on the ground. He had prepared a sleeping bag, pillows, and old blankets. He also made sure that he had a lot of water bottles next to him.

Kakuzu's hands shook as he downed almost three liters in one go. He needed the hydration since, thanks to the fever, he was sweating like hell, and his body needed the water if he could keep it in.

Because as soon as his new stomach was full of it, he vomited it out again. It was a rookie mistake; no drinks or food for the next few hours, not until his stomach had settled where it belonged. Why the fuck didn't he change it one by one? Giving him a few weeks of rest in between. It would have been less… well, everything.

BUT NOPE! Why have a few days of minor discomfort when you can have 3 days of hell?
Hidan would probably get off while he felt like this; that perv would enjoy it.

That was his last thought before he collapsed.

Meanwhile, Hidan enjoyed his sweet life without Kakuzu for some time. Then he grew worried, especially since the moans and groans from the cellar had stopped. He didn't show up. Nothing was happening, and it was silent—death-silent.

So, being curious, Hidan destroyed the door and barged into the cellar. The smell of rot and death was thick as he entered the small room.

There were two corpses strapped to the table, their chests cut or ripped open, with various organs missing. There were also, what looked like, organs rotting on the floor, drenched in a black liquid.

That liquid was almost everywhere; it smelled like blood and… well, death. Something rotten. Carefully, Hidan entered the room, only to find his partner collapsed on the dirty floor. He cursed loudly, but Kakuzu didn't wake up. "Well… I guess he's… dead?"

Whatever Kakuzu was, Hidan had to get rid of the corpses and clean up, otherwise the stench would spread into the safe-house. The Albino grumbled and sighed, disposing first of the ANBU's and whatever rotting organs were lying around before he went down again and looked at Kakuzu.

"Fuck” he had not moved. When Hidan bent down to search for a pulse, he didn't feel one of the five hearts beating, or that he was breathing. Slowly, Hidan dragged him up the stairs. "You are fucking heavy… and you looked so hot, you asshole", he mumbled and stopped at the top of the stairs.

Heavy breathing, he looked around and saw the stack of cash. "I…. I shouldn't… but you're dead, so…" Slowly, he walked over to the table and sighed. "I mean… you're dead, right? " He looked at Kakuzu again, who hadn't moved or made a sound.

The Albino felt uncertain of what to do and walked over to the corpse of his partner again. "You…. you are dead right?" he kicked him, but didn't get any response from him. Nothing, no grunt, no movement, no anything. He kicked him again.

For a moment, Hidan waited, and then he shrugged. "Fine by me…" he said, walking over to the money again. "You don't need this one anymore", he said as he reached for the money.

He didn't even get to touch it as he found himself crashing into the wall, gasping for air and gurgling up his blood. As Kakuzu stood right in front of him. "Don't touch my money."

Hidan was terrified of the look in Kakuzu's… lifeless eyes and how he had moved so fast and was so strong—hell, he was stronger and faster than before. "Let me sleep…. just, just a few more days…" he mumbled.

Then Kakuzu collapsed completely into his partner like a sack of potatoes. Hidan coughed and could barely keep himself on his feet, let alone his partner, so they both ended up on the floor.

"Have you gotten heavier?" Hidan grumbled between gasps, buried under his sleeping partner.

Somehow, he had managed to clean Kakuzu up, having an unscathed and perfect look on his whole body. It was a good look. His imagination ran wild almost every night when he was not praying to his god or looking for sacrifices. It was a good distraction for him.

Kakuzu slept for a few more days until he woke up sometime in the night. He took a deep breath and stretched himself a little before he realized something or someone sprawled out on top of him.

Hidan was sleeping peacefully and soundly, despite his weird sleeping style. Kakuzu's stomach grumbled, and his throat felt dry.

After a while, he had managed to peel himself out of the bed and Hidan's embrace. In the kitchen, he drank and ate everything that came his way. When he was somehow satisfied, he took a long, hot shower.

He was still tired but also felt refreshed. Next, he counted his money, felt it, let it fall through his fingers, and smelled the paper and ink on it. "This is the best…" he mumbled and stretched again.

Kakuzu heard the soft rustle of the bedsheets; somehow, all his senses felt awake. With a new set of organs, he had forgotten so much; his senses, strength, and whole body felt so alive and rejuvenated.

Slowly, Kakuzu got up and followed the small sounds into the kitchen. "Did you… Did you eat everything?" Hidan asked tiredly looking around the opened containers and the messy kitchen "I'm not gonna clean that shit up" he grumbled and looked around "Okay but… but you didn't I mean you ate that meat raw didn't you?" he asked and didn't even look at the other as he was going through the pantry and cupboard "You even ate my snacks and sweets, by Jashins sake come on!"

Hidan was about to curse at him, wanting to start a fight, when he suddenly found himself backed against a wall with Kakuzu pinning him. Fear spread through the Albino as he stared wide-eyed at his partner. "I swear I didn't take your money!" he blurted out, shocked at how fast Kakuzu had been.
The older male looked down at his partner, his green eyes piercing into him. Hidan gulped as he tried to move his hands, but Kakuzu had them in an iron grip. He had his old strength and speed back. "I am missing some"

Kakuzu said calmly, too calm for Hidan's taste, that he knew what would happen next would be painful. "I…. I er… I confess I might have… taken something…" he whispered meekly.

Well, he would be dismembered or cut open or worse… forced to go on several bounty hunting missions. "But I only took it because you, you have my salary as well, and I ran out of food and… and and" he frantically stuttered, unable to look away from his green eyes.

Kakuzu's muscles tensed, and Hidan felt more pressure on his wrists. Would this be his punishment? Kakuzu breaking his wrists?

Truthfully, Hidan wouldn't mind; it was worth the view he now got. Everyone had told Hidan that the Albino looked beautiful, but had they seen his partner? Muscels of steel, from his legs, his thighs upwards, his belly to his huge chest and shoulders, not to forget his arms.

"You took care of me," Kakuzu suddenly said. I remember faintly that you dragged me up the stairs, cleaned me up, and even tried to make me swallow water and food." The older male's voice was low, and he continued to stare him down. "Why?"

The pressure around his wrists tightened. "Seriously? I was fucking worried, and when I saw you down in the cellar, I thought you were dead. I wanted to dispose of you, but you weren't," he confessed. "So good partner as I am," he lied, "I took care of you."

Hidan's smile was weak, and he knew Kakuzu could see through his lies. Nevertheless, he wouldn't tell him he was scared after Kakuzu had woken up briefly.

He just wanted to be on his partner's good side as soon as he was awake again.

Hidan thought he had lost; this was his end. He would meet his Lord soon. He was so sure that he closed his eyes and prayed to his god that his death would be pleasant for Lord Jashin.

What he did not expect was that he felt Kakuzu's lips on his own. Hidan's eyes opened wide in sheer shock and fear. He didn't dare to breathe or to move. The Albino turned into a statue.

Chapter Text

Hidan was not scared, of course not, he was immortal, well maybe a little scared.
It had been days since the "incident", when Kakuzu kissed him, and Hidan didn't kiss him back.

Hidan not only did not kiss his partner back, but he also ran away and only came back two days later. Since then, it had been another few days. What was Hidan supposed to do?

They haven't talked since, just the bare minimum. Kakuzu never started the conversations; he completely retreated, counting his money, reading newspapers or books, or working out.

The Albino was so relieved when they went on a mission, but somehow, it got worse. Kakuzu didn't even acknowledge his existence, or at least it felt like that. Hidan wanted to talk to him, but he didn't know what to tell him.

That he wanted the older male so bad he would rip his fucking torso open? That he didn't mind if he would fuck him raw in the middle of nowhere? That his god had strict rules about the people he got close to?

Hidan tried to fill the silence with his usual banter, tease the older male, wrap him in conversation, and get on his nerves so hard that Kakuzu would attack him, like always.

There was nothing, and it continued to be nothing until Hidan had had enough.

They stayed at an empty house somewhere in the ghettos of a rundown village, and Hidan was done—so done with this shit. They needed to talk. He had no plan for what he would say, but he needed to make this right!

He had had enough and stomped over to Kakuzu's room. He tried to open it, but it was locked, so Hidan had the great idea to kick it in, and there he was.

Protectively covering the money with his body, tendrils coming out of various stitches and body parts. He even had one of his masks ready. "We need to-"

He stopped right then and there, "Sorry… I mean… I-" he couldn't continue or finish when Kakuzu practically screamed at him, "ARE YOU FUCKING MENTAL BRAT?" It was a valid question, as he was quickly next to Hidan. His tendrils and mask have retreated, and there he stood, hunched over him, with a bare upper body and without his mask.

Kakuzu's green eyes pierced Hidan's as he looked at him directly. It was mesmerizing, and for a moment, they just looked at each other when suddenly, Hidan realized Kakuzu hadn't been violent to him yet.

Why hadn't he been violent yet? Why wasn't he thrown against a wall or grabbed by the throat or… punched?

He didn't care; he couldn't care right now. This was the only chance he had now because he couldn't stand it anymore. Kakuzu's silence and "I don't care" attitude towards Hidan hurt the Albino, and it was rude!

At first, the Jashinist wasn't sure what hurt so much or why; it had been YEARS since he had felt this pain, but now he did. And it felt so, so much worse.

So here he was, his glaring partner silently looking at him. Even though Hidan could see and feel his anger around him, he still didn't act on it.

It drove the Albino mad.

"For fucks sake Kakuzu!" he exclaimed, grabbing him by his face and pulling him down. Their lips met, and Kakuzu wanted to retreat immediately, but the shorter one didn't let him.

Hidan arched his body against Kakuzus, wrapping his arms tighter around him and not letting him go until the older one finally, fucking responded and kissed him back.

Only then did Hidan let go of the older one and look up at him, waiting for the impact, probably on his face.

For a moment, there was nothing. They just stared at each other, and then the impact came—with his mouth. Kakuzu pressed his lips back on Hidan's. The kiss was nothing gentle or passionate. It was something else, primal and violent.

The moment they backed away from each other, there was blood on both lips as they just looked at each other, heavy breathing. When Hidan slowly licked away the blood on his lips, at that moment, Kakuzu let out a low grunt and went in to kiss his partner again.

This time, both tongues were fighting for dominance, hungry and angry, and like a savage Kakuzu, they just completely dominated him, pushing the younger one against the wall and trapping him there. The kiss continued with little breaks in between for them to catch some air.

Hidan had started to scratch and claw at the older male's shoulder and upper arms, while Kakuzu dug his fingers into Hidan's hips, keeping him pressed against his own body, leaving bruises behind.

When they finally broke the kiss for some much-needed air, their bodies were still pressed against each other, as if they were sewn together, and nobody dared to let go. "Do you want that, Hidan? " His partner's voice was low, rough.

Before the younger one could answer, Kakuzu took his chin. The touch was gentle, quite the opposite of how he had held him on his hips. However, although the touch was gentle, Kakuzu wouldn't let him move his head away, forcing him to look back at him.

"If you are too old to-" Hida's face turned flush red as Kakuzu moved his body again, pressing him tighter against the wall and forcing his hips to meet Hidan's. He could feel his hard cock.
The contact of their bare skin made Hidan gasp and groan; their skin was on fire, and they tried to consume each other. It was a competition on who would burn hotter.

"Use your words, Hidan," the older one rolled his hips slowly, promising him whatever he wanted, "or no." Kakuzu withdrew completely. Their only contact was the hand holding Hidan's chin and head in place, forcing him to look up at his partner.

The Albino thought it was kind of unfair. Kakuzu could precisely see what was happening in Hidan's mind and face. His cheeks were red, his lips slightly swollen with his mouth open, and his eyes, his pupils dilated in lust.

The older one could read him like an open book, while Hidan could see… nothing. Kakuzu seemed perfectly calm and collected if it wasn't for his raging boner in his pants, but even that didn't seem to bother him.

"Yes… YES by Jashin yes please, don't move away from me!" he gasped reaching out for his partner, his warmth, his touch. "good boy" Kakuzu hummed softly pressing his body back onto the other males, feeling Hidan's hands roam free over Kakuzu's upper body, feeling his skin, sending his nerves on fire and making his cock throb painfully in his pants.

He was going mad and crazy every time Kakuzu rolled his hips, and his lips barely touched Hidan's, stopping just mere inches away. He waited patiently until Hidan got too restless and scratched at him again, trying to reach up to Kakuzu or force him to move.

He was in a desert, and Kakuzu was his water. As soon as their lips locked again, he drank it up eagerly. This time, however, Kakuzu was softer and slower. He wasn't trying to consume him anymore; he was trying to enjoy Hidan.

It took the Albino a second to realize the pace had changed. Now, he was just trying to get as much from Kakuzu as possible. Again, he let his hands roam over Kakuzu's upper body. This time, he felt Kakuzu's abs and pecs, carefully applying pressure.

Technically, he knew where every scar was placed, yet he traced them repeatedly, memorising where he was sensitive and liked it and where he moved away or changed his body language.

When they finally broke the kiss, somehow, they managed to maneuver themselves away from the door. Somehow, in their heat and lust, Hidan stumbled and almost knocked over some cash.

For a moment, anxiety and fear coursed through Hidan as he saw a little money falling on the floor. He thought he had ruined it, probably the first and last time he got a chance to get intimate with Kakuzu, and he ruined it.

The older male, however, just looked at the cash and sighed, "Pick it up, brat." Kakuzu's voice was deep as he gave the order for the Albino. Hidan smirked as he slowly dropped to his knees, picking up the money one by one. The younger knelt right in front of him, with his face only centimeters away from the older male's crotch, pressing kisses on the skin and stitches.

Kakuzu hummed softly as he watched him pick up the money, as the younger one kissed him, and as Hidan slowly opened his pants and pulled them down.

The bounty hunter smirked, ever so slightly, as Hidan looked at him, taking him in before nuzzling his head against the other male's crotch.

Kakuzu moaned loudly when he looked down at his partner again, with his cock disappearing into Hidan's mouth. "Fuck!" he cursed as he leaned back at the small table, a hand in Hidan's hair.

"You don't have to," Kakuzu mumbled, guiding Hidan's mouth further towards his cock, making him swallow up more, suck him in deeper. The Albino couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It amused him how the older one didn't want to pressure or force him, but he also urged the younger one not to stop now.

To test it, Hidan tried to draw back slightly, and true enough, Kakuzu released the pressure on his head and let go of him, to give Hidan some space. "I didn't mean to," Kakuzu started, but Hidan smirked. "Yeah, you did, don't lie to me." The Albino slowly seductively licked his lips and grinned. "First, I want my fun, then I will let you have yours."

Surprised by Hidan's words and the look he suddenly had in his eyes, he leaned back, and the Albino had his way with him.

With slow movements, Hidan started to make Kakuzu almost lose his mind as the Albino began to suck and lick on his cock. His tongue lazily moving up and down his shaft or his balls, how he teasingly sucked on him, or hummed around his cock so he would feel the vibrations.

The Albino tried his best not to let Kakuzu become too dominant while he rolled his hips or felt the grip in his hair tighten. But he enjoyed the view he got from his knees. He could see Kakuzu's muscles tense as he looked up, which made for a great view of his abs and pecs. Hidan couldn't help but lay a hand on Kakuzu's chest as best as he could reach up to him to feel his muscles twitch and the heat on his body. He enjoyed the feeling of Kakuzus' skin on his, especially in this state. He loved it, he loved every part of it, especially when Hidan stopped just right before Kakuzu came. That moment, that subtle change of expression, was pure bliss for Hidan. The way Kakuzu's muscles tensed, how his cock was throbbing desperately in his mouth, the face of the older male as he realized his orgasm was ruined, the low moans and grunts. Hidan could get off on that look on his face.

It was also enough for Hidan; now it was Kakuzu's turn.

And by Jashin, Hidan had never expected what happened next.

It took him a second to realize that he was already naked, his back on the bed mattress. "Wooah Kakuzu." Hidan blinked a few times before Kakuzu sealed his lips again. Their teeth clashed as Kakuzu pushed him further down into the mattress.
Kakuzu's hands were everywhere on the Albino's body. Hidan gasped and moaned, arching his back towards the touch of his partner.

When the older male felt Hidan relaxing, he slowly started to tease and massage the Albino's entrance, until he was able to enter him with two fingers easily. The Albino cursed as he felt him explore him, pinpoint his most sensitive areas, and abuse them to all of his five hearts content.

Hidan started to claw again at the older one, his broad shoulders and back as he arched his back and moaned loudly in lust. Kakuzu enjoyed the display of his partner losing it completely with merely two fingers.

As he finally let go of Hidan, Kakuzu looked down at him, smirking from ear to ear. "You look incredible when you are like that…" the older one complimented his partner, who tried to answer something but was quickly silenced by the other's lips.

The Albino got no time to rest as Kakuzu positioned himself and the other just at the right angle, with ease he entered the younger male, groaning into the kiss and enjoying Hidan's facial expression of lust and need.

Kakuzu, on the other hand, had problems holding himself back. The heat surrounding him, Hidan's facial expression, and his moans drove him crazy. "Fuck”, was all he could mutter. The older one wanted to start slow, to give his partner time to adjust, but he couldn't.

The moment Hidan impatiently rolled his hips, Kakuzu lost it and started to fuck him. With a low growl-like sound, he pulled Hidan closer onto his hips, digging his fingers into the soft white skin, bruising it as he recklessly started to move his hips.

Hidan arched his back, moaning loudly and unhinged as he felt Kakuzu thrust into him without mercy, hitting that sweet spot deep inside him, again and again. His initial discomfort was gone; he could feel himself tighten and pulse around Kakuzu.

It didn't take long for Kakuzu to come, especially when Hidan started to roll his hips again. He couldn't help it, as he buried himself deep into his younger partner while he pulled him close, wrapping his arms around the other male's torso and just keeping him like that.

The Jashinist enjoyed it thoroughly, even though he didn't finish. He also wrapped his arms around his partner, keeping him like that, while the older one came inside him. A moment passed before Hidan turned his head, his lips brushing Kakuzu's ears. "That was hot… but I am not done yet… You could at least jerk me off, you know…" the younger purred softly into his partner's ear.

"Jerk you off?" Kakuzu's dark voice was practically dripping with amusement and… and something else. Suddenly, Hidan was not sure about this. When Kakuzu finally let go of Hidan, he slowly sat up, grabbed the Albino by his thighs, and pulled him back on his lap. "Did I fuck you numb already?" the older one asked, and it was only now that the Albino realized that Kakuzu was still hard buried deep inside of him.

"Now that you are wet enough… The real fun begins-" Kakuzu's green eyes gleamed in the dimly lit room with something he only noticed when the older one counted his beloved money. Greed.

Tendrils slowly crept their way from Kakuzu's scars over Hidan's body, wrapping themselves around limbs, bending and forcing him into a somewhat submissive position. The tendrils also made sure that he stayed like that.

Hidan's legs were spread, and his back and neck arched like an offering to Kakuzu. The tendrils not only kept him in place but also supported him. Soon, Hidan had relaxed a little as Kakuzu repositioned himself, bending over him and marveling at the sight before him.

A hand was moving carefully and slowly over the bent body, carefully applying pressure on the stretched muscles, teasing the exposed nipples, and making Hidan's body catch fire. "The fun for me," he mumbled as he bent over and stopped before Hidan's face. "Tell me to stop and I will, I promise." he kissed the Albino again, this time slower, deliberate, more passionate than before. "But I pray to your god you won't"

Hidan could swear this position lets Kakuzu glide in deeper, or at least get the impression of it, because by Jasin, every thrust made Hidan lose something of his sanity.

Even though the older male moved slowly, the thrusts were hard and deep, not only hitting every sensitive spot that existed inside the Albino but also abusing them.

What's worse was that Kakuzu had access to his whole body in this position, as if Hidan was on a silver platter. He could feel the big, rough hands roam freely over his body, teasing his nipples, squeezing his muscles, or stroking his throbbing, hard cock, making Hidan's moans grow louder and more desperate with every damned thrust.

Hidan was unable to move or do anything besides moaning and whining.

The pace was also maddening, dancing around the edge but never entirely over it. Kakuzu wanted to torture him for sure.

Hidan's eyes rolled back in his head as he not only moaned in lust but also the name of his god again and again, as if he was the one fucking him and not Kakuzu.

For a while, Kakuzu let him moan as he pleased, but soon he was done with it.

Hidan's begging or moaning prayer to this damned god Jashin made the older male furious.
How dare, how dare he think about somebody else, how dare he beg and pray to his god while Kakuzu was the one fucking him.

With a last roll of his hips, Kakuzu stopped his motion, leaning over the Albino and forcing the younger one to look at him. "You are mine, Hidan. Do you understand that?" he asked angrily, growling deeply.

The tendrils slowly retreated, and Hidan could finally move again, but not for long. Kakuzu had other plans as he grabbed Hidan by his hair, forcing him to look at him as he slowly retreated, almost entirely, only to then harshly thrust deeply into him again. "Say my name!" he ordered the younger male, repeating his order and movements repeatedly. It drove the Albino even madder, in sheer despair. Hidan wrapped his legs and arms around Kakuzu, trying to move against him to feel and get more. It was no use; Kakuzu was physically stronger than Hidan and was kept pushed down; whatever Hidan was trying to do was useless.

Desperately, he tried to urge Kakuzu to move more, to fuck him deeper until he finally moaned his name, begging him desperately to continue fucking him.

"You're here with me, not your damn god!" Kakuzu's growl was deep. Hidan looked up at his partner. There was this greed, this hunger he could feel radiating from Kakuzu.

Only then was Kakuzu moving again, fucking Hidan's brains out and making him moan and scream with his name in his mouth.

Both of them gave up control, only existing for the lust and need to feel each other. Kakuzu's thrust got more erratic and unhinged, and when both finally came, Kakuzu buried himself deep inside of Hidan. At the same time, the Albino had wrapped his legs and arms around his partner, pulling him close and keeping him tight against his body.

When both finally calmed down from their intense orgasm, Hidan finally relaxed and let go of Kakuzu, freeing him from his grip.

Slowly, Kakuzu rose and looked down on his partner. Hidan enjoyed the afterglow with his eyes closed, just lying there. Kakuzu, on the other hand, marveled and enjoyed his handiwork.

His tendrils have left marks as well on the perfect skin of the albino, just like his hands have left bruises, or he had left hickey and bite marks. "Hidan, turn around for me, would you?"

The Albino let out a soft sigh but obliged the request. He turned to lie on his belly and showed Kakuzu his back. "Hmmhh, what now?" Hidan asked, looking over his shoulder.

Kakuzu was clearly not done. He was hovering over him like a starving animal. Kakuzu was still hungry. "Greedy old bastard," Hidan mumbled as he slowly got on his knees and was soon rewarded with his partner's cock inside of him again.

When Kakuzu was finally done, he helped Hidan into the shower but didn't stop there. Even though Hidan was tired, his muscles hurting, and protesting, he couldn't refuse Kakuzu.

Somehow, Kakuzu had total control over him, even though the older one gave Hidan plenty of opportunities to stop him. He asked him over and over if he was sure to go on. Truth be told, a few times, it was even Hidan who started it all again.

However, they managed to get somewhat clean and make the bed. They collapsed on the freshly made bed, finally done and satisfied.

Hidan was covered in bruises and marks, his body felt sore and was screaming for a break, while Kakuzu was covered in Hidan's bite marks and scratches. One bite mark was nasty because the Albino had bitten him so harshly and deeply that Kakuzu had thought he would get eaten.

Hidan lay sprawled out on the bed, and Kakuzu was on top of him, his head resting on Albinos' shoulder. Both had their eyes closed, and both were finally exhausted.

"Kakuzu….?" the albino suddenly started making the older one grumble and shift on top of the Albino "We don't have to move tomorrow do we?" he asked carefully making the older one snort a little "You should be alright in the evening again" the older one replied making Hidan groan "Then I want to stop by a nice inn with a hot spring."

Kakuzu shifted again to look up at him. "Are you kidding me?" he asked in a rather annoyed voice, but Hidan also looked at him with an irritated look. "Don't you remember the deal we made?" the younger one raised an eyebrow in amusement.

There was silence again between the two when Kakuzu replied, "Alzheimer's…" He lay down on top of the Albino again, satisfied with himself.

Hidan was baffled by the answer. Did Kakuzu just? "Next time we make a deal, you should write it down and make me sign it," Kakuzu said with a satisfied smirk. Otherwise, my old brain might forget it."

Hidan lay there, his mouth open in disbelief. Kakuzu just played him like an ice-cold criminal, which he technically was.

"Sleep, Hidan, we have a long day tomorrow."
