Deidara sighed, wiping her brow with a sleeve. She was not required to make another sculpture but she was feeling stressed. The Akatsuki had managed to build a building specially for crafting and sewing since Kakuzu had joined, adding to their muscle. He was also skilled in sewing which surprised everyone, including Hidan. She had just recently stopped making fun of him for it after he threatened to make her sleep elsewhere. He sat across the room from Deidara, fixing a hole in a blanket.
Just as Kakuzu finished, Tobi entered, Taiyou in her arms. Deidara's expression became one of longing as she gazed at the infant. Tobi noticed and offered her child so she could help Kakuzu fold the blanket. Deidara sighed, stroking the child's cheek while the other two headed outside. She followed them to Zetsu's home. The blanket was made for the family since the cold season was approaching. The farmer was currently tending to his crops in the field. Sasori and Kisame were helping since Zetsu's farmland had increased size. The whole village was growing bigger, it seemed. Yet the population
remained exactly eleven when excluding their angel and gods.
In the center of the town, the other villagers gathered. Konan had summoned all of them to discuss population. While waiting for the others, Hidan and Itachi started a discussion of their own.
"Hidan-chan... do you plan on marrying Kakuzu-san any time soon?"
"Why the fuck would I do that?" Hidan scoffed.
"You two are a couple, are you not?" Itachi quirked a brow.
"Why is everyone thinking that?" She whined.
"You two share the same bed-"
"So do you and shark boy." She retorted.
"We plan on getting married."
"What? When?" Hidan's jaw dropped.
"Whenever I find my brother..."
"You have a brother?" Itachi nodded.
"Do you have any relatives?"
"Nah. Killed when our village was conquered by the Mist. Those that weren't offed were made into slaves like myself." She smirked.
"You don't seem too upset about it."
"I'm not. Fuckers were cowards." She shrugged.
"Hidan, how many times do I have to tell you to curb that street rat tongue?" Kakuzu and the others had arrived.
"Yeah. Itachi grew up surrounded by royalty, un." Deidara sniffed distastefully. "She can't handle a woman's tongue."
"Itachi is a woman." Kisame defended.
"Nah, this bitch is a lady. Completely different." Hidan smirked.
"And you're neither, Hidan. You're a bitch." Kakuzu sneered.
"Fuck you!" She snapped.
"Later, whore." He retorted, almost playfully.
"Tobi doesn't think this language is appropriate for Taiyou..." Tobi offered quietly, the infant in her arms.
"Excuse me... are you going to let me speak or continue fighting?" Konan drawled, bringing silence upon the villagers. "Pain has brought to attention that we are lacking in numbers. We need more support should we come under attack."
"And what do you advise we do about it?" Hidan huffed.
"I know of some that might be willing to join us but we'll need money." Kakuzu mused.
"Tch. You and your fucking greed..." Hidan grumbled. "Last time I checked, it was money, or lack thereof, that brought the destruction of my home village."
"I thought the Mist-"
"Nah, they only finalized it." Hidan interrupted her blonde 'friend'. "Money makes you a bigger target and breeds mistrust."
"Bullshit. You just haven't seen it used properly." Kakuzu scoffed.
"Both of you have a point." Itachi cut in quietly. "It was money and mistrust because of the money that brought about my clan's slaughter." She paused, "However... if we could bring in people willing to fight for it... and keep them at a distance from us should they decide to take it or revolt..."
"I see where you're going." Kakuzu nodded. "That should work and I could keep them in line. Not to mention, we have Pain. It's amazing what one will do for their almighty god." He glanced at Hidan.
"Hey! If I don't pray, I die." She snapped, taking it as an insult.
"See? Fear does wonders." Kakuzu smirked.
"Yes... Then it is decided. We must get money and strong, trustworthy soldiers." Konan explained. "Kakuzu, you shall be in charge of handling that. Kisame and Itachi could perhaps see if there is a way to recover the Uchiha's riches."
"If they have not yet discovered the hiding place, then I suppose we could try." Itachi nodded.
"Sasori, will you be able to create weapons and armor?" Konan inquired.
"Yes... in a month's time I should have some ready."
"Very well. You have that long to prepare, Kakuzu, Kisame... Itachi." She then turned, heading back for the temple.
Zetsu and Tobi returned home while Orochimaru pulled Deidara away for her check up. Sasori and the blonde was still trying to have a child yet for some reason, it was not happening. Hidan yawned boredly then also headed for home. This left Kakuzu with Kisame and Itachi.
"Kakuzu, do you plan on taking her with?" Itachi inquired, seeing that the large, tan man was watching Hidan leave.
"Yes. Despite her looks, she's pretty strong in battle..." He mused.
"It sounds like you've fought her yourself." Kisame snickered.
"... How do you think I got this scar?" He held up his shirt, point to a long, jagged cut going from his shoulder to his hip.
"Damn." Kisame whistled, eying the scar. "Remind me not to piss her off..."
–
Sasori sighed, leading his fiancee to their bed. Their attempts have still gone without result. He could tell it was stressing Deidara out. She slumped into the bed, her expression blank. Hesitating, he slipped under the blanket, pulling it over her in the process. He had a feeling she did not want to try this night.
"Sasori, what if I can't have another kid...hm?" Deidara whispered after awhile.
"Deidara... I'm sure it's my fault, don't blame yourself. If it really comes down to it... I'll let you lie with another man so you may have a child." He replied, playing with her hair.
"I would never, danna." She protested, turning to face him. "I'm sure we're just not... trying hard enough, un."
"Perhaps..." He whispered; 'We've done nothing but try, brat.'
"Maybe if we take a break, un?" She offered.
"If you want to." Sasori shrugged, holding her close.
–
The next morning, Orochimaru woke up, the bed cold. Frowning, he looked around for Kabuto. The woman was not inside. He got up from their bed and pulled on his clothes. He jumped when he saw Sasori waiting for him. He sighed, guessing what the artist wanted. He gave him a scroll on which a plant was drawn.
"This is a fertility plant found a little ways down the river. In the delta." Orochimaru explained.
"Thank you, old friend." Sasori sighed. "I will be sure to gather some herbs as well."
"I suppose there is no reason to tell you to be safe." Orochimaru smiled slightly.
"I don't know if I should go just yet though... It's a few days travel and I'd like to have my wedding before having to leave her side for long." He explained.
"Of course." He paused. "Have you seen Kabuto?"
"She said she had to speak with Hidan about something." He shrugged.
Orochimaru nodded and returned to his room. Sasori headed out to where Kakuzu and Hidan resided, spotting the women but no sign of Kakuzu. He assumed he was helping Kisame or Zetsu and entered, listening to their hushed voices carefully.
"I threw up this morning... I heard from Deidara that it's a symptom..." Hidan whispered.
"Now, now, Hidan. Don't jump to conclusions. It's probably too early to tell..." Kabuto soothed her, setting her back down on the bed. "You could just be sick."
"But what will I tell him if I am—What are you doing here, Sasori?" Hidan snapped, noticing his snooping.
"I just wanted to tell Kabuto that Orochimaru was looking for her." He explained, heading back outside.
"Well you told her now piss off." She shouted.
"I'm going, I'm going. Yeesh." Sasori rolled his eyes and went to the artist stand. "So even she might be having a kid... Deidara's not going to like that one bit..."
–
A week passed and Sasori was waiting for the marriage ceremony to begin. He could not wait to see Deidara and be joined with her for good. They met and walked past their friends, hands entwined, up to where Konan and Pain awaited within the temple. A piece of cut fabric was tied around their wrists and they were married.
In the crowd, Tobi was quieting her child, smiling at the newlyweds. Zetsu looked bored, waiting to return to his crop. Besides them, Kakuzu and Hidan were both sulking, impatient for the love-fest to end so they could go home and Kakuzu could try once more to get Hidan into his bed. For awhile, the woman had been sleeping on the floor, stubbornly refusing Kakuzu's advances. This just made the man more intolerable for the other villagers.
When the ceremony finally finished, Sasori took Deidara to their home and informed him that he had to go to the delta. He promised the blonde that he would return with a befitting present and then some. He kissed her passionately then joined Kabuto at the river. Kisame was waiting with a raft of sorts. He would be leading them down the Ame River to the fertile delta where Sasori's goal grew.
–
Two days passed and Deidara had made many clay figures and dishes, with some help from Hidan. They were painting the last one when Sasori arrived, hurriedly whisking his wife to their home. He had brewed the fertility plant in some tea and offered her the cup. They toasted and drank quickly; Deidara could not wait for her present.
–
Soon, the end of the month arrived and Kakuzu was preparing to leave for the following morning. Hidan noticed this and frowned, placing a hand on her smooth belly. Kakuzu did not notice her standing in the room until he had finished and she crawled into bed. He looked eager but then he noticed a serious expression on her—something uncommon for the feisty zealot.
"Kakuzu... I don't feel too well." She whispered as he lay down beside her.
"Hmph. You've told me this excuse every night. Why are you in the bed?"
"Don't you want me in your bed?" She replied quietly.
"Well... yes..." He frowned in confusion.
"Can I not just sleep in the bed, for once? Or are you just using me to please yourself?"
"Is that a trick question?" He smirked, earning a lighthearted smack. "Fine. You can sleep. I'll have my way tomorrow night..."
'Bastard doesn't get it...' She sighed, burrowing her face in his chest.
–
The next morning, Kakuzu woke up early. He glanced down at Hidan, her face contorted in pain. He frowned and kissed her forehead before getting out of bed. He threw an extra blanket on her, thinking she was cold and then changed his clothes. He grabbed the bag he had packed the previous night and slung it over his shoulder. He glanced back one last time and went to wake up Kisame. He would return for Hidan later.
He arrived at the fisherman's hut, pausing as he realized he had walked in on a tender moment. Kisame was holding Itachi, letting her cry into his shoulder. Kakuzu was confused but remained silent. He waited until Itachi had pulled away from Kisame, wiping her eyes. She stood and went to grab some clothes. Kakuzu decided to get Kisame's attention then.
"Hey. When'd you get here?" He smiled falsely.
"What's up with her?" He asked quietly, motioning to the former princess.
"She worried about returning home." He replied with a shrug. "Where's Hidan?"
"I'm letting her sleep in. She's been acting funny the past few days." He grumbled.
"Just because she does not want to have intercourse does not mean she is acting 'funny'. It just means she is losing interest in you or is simply tired of being taken advantage of." Itachi sniffed, glowering at Kakuzu.
"Where the hell did that come from?" Kakuzu scoffed.
"We'll go see if Sasori has those weapons for us, Itachi. How about you finish here and then go get Hidan?" Kisame urged, pushing Kakuzu out. "We'll meet you two there."
"Alright, Kisame-san." She nodded and went back to packing.
They went to the artists' home, waiting for one of them to wake up. After Kakuzu knocked on his door, Sasori arrived. He blinked a few times, still waking up and then stumbled back inside. He returned with a few blades and explained that he had poisons packed as well for their use. Symptoms written on a scroll along with an antidote. He followed them back to Kakuzu's home, pausing when he heard retching.
"Are you okay, Hidan?" Itachi's voice brought the males inside where Hidan was leaning over a bucket.
"Does it look like I'm okay, bitch?" She gagged. "Get me some fucking water."
"I'll go get Kabuto." She fretted.
"No!" Hidan pulled away from the bucket but she had already brushed past the men to get to the medical hut. "Damnit... I just need some water..."
"I'm sorry, Hidan... I didn't think sleeping on the floor would get you this sick." Kakuzu frowned, grabbing a nearby bucket of water for her.
"Tch, it's cold on the floor, bastard." She sniffed, cupping her hands to wash the vile taste from her mouth.
"You made her sleep on the floor?" Sasori scowled. "Idiot."
"Oi, she insisted on it..." He huffed.
"Did not. You only let me in bed while I was sleeping with you." She grumbled.
"Ah... Itachi told me you had thrown up, Hidan. Do you doubt my suspicions now?" Kabuto had arrived, a smirk on her face.
"Fuck you, slut." She snapped moodily.
"Well... you're going to need to rest so I can keep an eye on you." Kabuto still sounded smug but Hidan did not argue.
"What's wrong with her?" Kakuzu demanded.
"Nothing. Just go. I'll still be here when you get back. Not that you care." Hidan grumbled, allowing Kabuto to lead her back to the bed. "At least I'll get to sleep on the fucking bed for once." She sighed in bliss.
"Tch. Damn bitch..." Kakuzu rolled his eyes and left his home. "Come on, Kisame, Itachi."
"Are you sure you can just leave her like that?" Itachi voiced Kisame's concern.
"She'll be fine." He shrugged. "She claims to be immortal thanks to her god." He explained. "Besides, it's not like we love each other."
–
Kisame led Itachi and Kakuzu to Konoha by the river, stopping twice a day to get fish. It took them two days to reach the village which blocked out intruders with a large wall. Kakuzu scoffed at the high 'fence'; his village had a low stone wall but it kept the poor out of the rich part of town. Clearly, Konoha did not have the same hierarchy system as his home village.
"How will we sneak in?" Kisame mused.
"The Uchihas have a secret entrance..." Itachi explained, heading for deeper forest.
Kisame and Kakuzu exchanged a look but fell in behind her. She stopped at a section of fence that had an emblem carved on it. She explained that it was the Uchiha crest and pried the wooden slats apart. She slipped in but had to have Kakuzu make it wider in order to get the much larger men in. Kisame then followed her to the large house looming before them, leaving their stitched comrade to guard the fence. Itachi paused at the door, glancing at Kisame uncertainly.
"It's awfully quiet..." He murmured.
"What do you expect?" She sighed, leading him in. "Everyone's been slaughtered."
"No thanks to you." A male growled, startling the couple.
A boy closely resembling Itachi appeared from the shadows, arms crossed and a frown on his face. Itachi stepped closer to Kisame's side and greeted the boy formally. It was his brother, no doubt in Kisame's mind.
"Sasuke... you have grown..." Itachi smiled slightly.
"It's been years, sister." He scowled.
"'Years'?" Kisame echoed in confusion and looked to his bed-mate for an answer. "I thought..."
"... I ran away much sooner than I told you. I apologize for the lie." Itachi dipped his head.
"I see..." He frowned but then grinned again. "You usually have your reasons. You're a smart girl."
"Not now, Kisame." She blushed, looking away.
"So this is why you left? To shack up with some freak?" Sasuke scoffed, earning a glare from his sister.
"Watch your tongue, Sasuke." She snapped. "He is not a freak in the least."
"Is the sex really that good?" He retorted; Kisame felt his skin boil.
"Listen, you little punk," He grabbed the boy by his shirt, slamming him against the wall. "I don't care what you say about me but Itachi is not that kinda girl. If you say anything like that about her again, I'll gut you like a fish."
"Kisame, it's alright. He is just a child that does not know better." Itachi spoke softly, grabbing his arm. "Sasuke, I am very sorry for what I did to the family and I pray that you were not burdened by it..." She looked her brother in his eyes.
"... You should control your pet shark." He replied, earning a slap across the cheek from his sister.
"Itachi... are you sure you want him to come with us?" Kisame whispered.
"Why would I?"
"Why would you not?" She returned. "You know those of Konoha fear you for your lineage."
"... I don't see fear in their eyes when they look at me." He frowned.
"Brother, please... I miss you..." She whispered. "Our family was going to start a war with Konoha."
"... You're lying." Sasuke blinked.
"I am not. Konoha's king ordered I marry his son so our family would have no reason to overthrow him." She explained.
"Why didn't you?"
"How would you feel if you were told, at sixteen, you had to marry some one you do not love?" She shouted. "That your life is over because it's not yours to control?"
"... It was a respo-"
"Don't give me that 'it's your responsibility' bullshit father drilled me with." She cried. "You don't understand anything. I left, I tried to take you with me. Father and mother did not care for you like I did." She slumped in exhaustion. "Please, give me a chance to show you... what a family should be like..."
Sasuke stood there, pondering for a moment. It was a bit much for him to take in. His sister had always gotten the attention from their parents. Yet she had given him the love they failed to share. He watched Kisame hold her, smoothing her hair and whispering words of comfort. He had been abandoned for years now. He had only one person in his life in Konoha and she was going to be killed. That is when he realized Kisame's size and smiled.
"I'll go with you." He said, "On one condition."
"Anything." Itachi smiled.
"Help me break my friend out of jail." He grinned and Itachi's face fell.
"That's suicide..." Itachi frowned.
"Please, sister? I'm sure the behemoth could do it." Sasuke pleaded.
"Don't call him names." Itachi huffed, "If your friend means that much to you, then we will."
Itachi and Kisame led Sasuke back to where Kakuzu was waiting. The little Uchiha was shocked to find the man was also large, and covered in stitches. Kisame informed him of the situation and the man frowned. However he agreed to help. Itachi and Sasuke were ordered to stay put and wait while Kakuzu and Kisame went to retrieve 'Naruto'. They followed the map instructions Sasuke had given them to the prison and sneaked past the guards.
A blonde was sitting in a grimy corner, crying silently. It was the only girl in the place so Kisame began to look for a way to free her. Kakuzu grunted and began to pace the prison, looking in the cell. He saw a few potential soldiers but decided to keep quiet and wait until he was back in Takigakure. He returned to Kisame's side and punched the poorly made cell entrance. Naruto jumped in fear. Kisame helped her to her feet and told her they were here to rescue her.
The girl nodded and followed them to the forest where Sasuke and Itachi were waiting. The raven haired boy hurried to embrace the blonde. She continued to sniffle into his shoulder and he provided comfort. Once she had finally stopped, Kakuzu urged them on to his old village. Not before telling Itachi and Sasuke to retrieve anything valuable they had left. They arrived at the village in two days. Kakuzu covered his head with his hood and led them to his old house.
"Stay here, I'm going to gather some of my 'friends'." He dipped his head and then left.
Slowly, people began to arrive at the house, saying they had been sent by Kakuzu. They were pretty strong looking but clearly poor. After a few more, they stopped coming. A few hours passed and the Akatsuki began to worry. Itachi approached the last addition and asked where he had seen Kakuzu last.
"He said he was heading over the wall." He shrugged. "I heard he single handedly took down the king too."
"Probably revenge after they threw him in jail for failing that impossible assassination attempt." Another muttered.
"Heh. At least he succeeded the revenge assassination." The first one laughed.
"Kisame-"
"I'll go check it out." Sasuke interrupted his sister.
–
"Hidan, un!" Deidara tackled her friend, laughing happily. A week had passed since Kakuzu and the others had left. "Guess what, un."
"You're pregnant?" Hidan guessed with a sigh.
"Yep, you jealous, un?" She smiled.
"Far from it." She grunted.
"Deidara-senpai, Hidan-chan!" Tobi had bounded into the craft center, "They're back!"
The two women jumped to their feet and followed Tobi to where a fairly large group of men were gathered. Hidan stood on his toes, looking for his housemate. He saw Kisame push his way through the crowd with Itachi and two other people on his heels.
"Where's Kakuzu at?" She frowned.
"Well... we're not sure..." Itachi fidgeted.
"He's in prison." Kisame whispered. "Or at least that's what we hope."
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Hidan snapped.
"He was taken by Takigakure. Pretty sure he's on death row." A man explained grimly.
"Ginji, you bastard!" Hidan slammed her fist into his face, making him stagger back. "You sold him out, didn't you?"
"No. I just didn't help him when he got caught." He returned, flinching as Hidan raised her fist again. "I didn't think he'd be captured so easily, ma'am."
"Fucking... ow..." Hidan winced, holding her stomach.
"Calm down. It's dangerous to become stressed in your state." Kabuto appeared at her side.
"Fuck... I'm gonna kill that bastard when he gets back."
"If." Ginji coughed, earning a glare.
"Why didn't you free him, un?" Deidara scowled at the Uchiha.
"Well..." Itachi glanced at Kisame.
"He was under heavy security." He mumbled.
"At least you tried." Kabuto sighed, looking to Hidan whose expression was blank.
–
Kakuzu sighed, trying to see through the darkness. He knew he was in Takigakure's prison again. He glared at his bound hands and feet. They had learned their lesson from his last imprisonment. He would not be able to free himself as easily as last time. He grunted and flopped against the wall. He hoped Hidan would be fine without him. He scowled at his worry; of course she would be fine, why should he care any way?
Of course, the woman was ill when he left. He was so busy in thoughts of her that he never saw them coming.
–
"Hidan must love Kakuzu after all, un." Deidara smiled to her husband, serving his meal.
"Why?" The redhead had not been out of the house, making his puppets so he was not informed of their missing villager.
"Well, she's really shaken up right now, un." She continued.
"Over what?"
"Over the fact Kakuzu was thrown in jail."
"He was what?" Sasori's eyes widened. "In Takigakure?" A nod. "Hidan isn't shaken up over that 'cause she loves him. It's 'cause she's carrying his child."
"What?"
Sasori tried to stop his wife but she had already hurried out. She ran to her friend's empty house and saw her slouched over the table, head in her hands. Deidara approached, placing a hand on Hidan's shoulder.
"Hidan-chan?" She whispered.
"What do you want, Deidara?" She sighed.
"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant, hm?"
"It's none of your Jashin-damned business, whore." She snapped.
"But Hidan, without Kakuzu... you need a man to support you, un." She frowned.
"I don't need nobody." She hissed.
"Come on, you haven't even eaten yet, un. You can eat with danna and me." She urged her to come with her.
Hidan scowled but allowed Deidara to lead her to her home. Sasori quirked a brow at his wife's actions but continued to eat. Deidara placed a bowl of soup in front of Hidan. She only stared at it.
"Honey-"
"Don't call me that." She snapped.
"You need to eat, for the baby, un." She explained. "Kakuzu wouldn't like to come back to find he lost his child."
"He doesn't even know, nor care, about it." She scoffed.
"How do you know he doesn't care. He will find out regardless, because I am going to tell him, un."
"Bitch, mind your own business."
"No. Now eat or I'll make you eat."
–
After two months, the villagers Kakuzu drafted had homes just outside the main village. Yet of him there is still no sign. Until, late one night, a group of men arrived at the border. Kisame and Sasori went to confront them. They were more men, sent by Kakuzu. They informed them that Kakuzu had escaped and was making his way home but had to stop at a village for 'business' reasons.
"That fucking bastard! How much longer is he going to make me wait?" Hidan complained to Naruto and Deidara once they had been informed.
"I hope it's not much longer." Naruto huffed, grumbling as she washed Sasuke's clothes. "You're getting on my nerves-ttebayo."
"It's the pregnancy. You learn to deal, un." Deidara sighed yet agreed with the other blonde.
"Fuck you, blondie." Hidan grouched, nibbling more on a fruit Ginji had given her. "I'm tired, Ginji."
Since Kakuzu had been taken, Ginji had become somewhat of Hidan's servant. He claimed that it was his way of repaying Kakuzu for saving his life. The others were convinced that he really just wanted Kakuzu's lover. Two days after the newcomers arrived, Kakuzu was heading for his hut, ignoring the greetings of his fellow villagers. He opened the door and smiled when he saw Hidan sleeping peacefully.
"Hidan..." He whispered, nudging her shoulder. "I'm back."
"Ginji, that's not funny." She mumbled, rolling her head to look up at the person that disturbed her.
"'Ginji'?" He echoed with a growl. "Don't tell me you've been sleeping around, whore."
"Kakuzu?" Her magenta eyes shot open and she immediately slapped him across the face. "You fucking bastard! Don't you dare call me a whore." She screeched, "I have been stuck here for months, alone, listening to the others bitch and complain about the painful condition you put me in!"
"You were in pain?" Kakuzu frowned.
"You would be too if your baby's daddy left you!" She huffed, crossing her arms over her somewhat swollen belly.
"Wait... what?" He gaped.
"I said I'm pregnant with your child, dumbfuck."
"Wha—when?" He stuttered, grabbing her hands in his. "How much longer?"
"I dunno. Kabuto says six or so..." She frowned, her head down.
"I see... you're sure it's mine?" His question earned a cold glare.
"You're the only man I've ever slept with. Of course it's yours, bastard."
"Just checking..." He murmured. "So what are we gonna do?"
"Wait for it to be born and raise it together, duh." She scoffed.
"You want it?" Yet another glare. "Does this mean you love me?"
"... I don't have a choice." She shrugged.
"Of course you do." He sighed, pulling her into a kiss. "Because I love you."
"Really?"
"You seem shocked..." He smiled, "I couldn't stop thinking about you while I was gone..."
"I love you too, Kakuzu!" She cried, tackling him onto the bed.
They had a feeling the village was going to be just fine. Kisame and Itachi announced their marriage plans. Sasori and Deidara had a kid. People were happy and they now have an army...
