Chapter 8- Love & Hate

Hidan's POV

Heh, looks like I can take my plan to action, some of the others are gone, and Akira is gone as well, so this time could not be any more perfect! I went to my room and called up a special visitor…

"Ah hello again, now's the time you can come, I think he'd really appreciate it to see you again," I smirked.

When everything is all set, all I have to do is serve up a couple "non-alcoholic"' drinks, get a couple people drunk and Pein and Akira's relationship will be shambled!

Pein's POV

Even though the mission was a success I was still stressing about Akira's injury, I just hope I did not upset her making her think I was treating her like a child when I was only trying to look out for her. I was back in my room in my regular "stressed out" position, until Hidan decided to barge on in.

"Sorry to intrude leader, um…..but I think I should make myself…..useful my at least taking the tension away," he said.

"What are you talking about?" I grumbled giving him a look; he was not his sleazy perverted self today.

"How about I give you some tea, I know you don't drink like I do, but I want to try make myself a worthy member," he offered me a glass of tea; I decided to accept it just to get him out of my face. After I drunk it, my head became nauseous, and I had a terrible headache.

What the hell did I just drink?

Before I knew I believe I found myself getting intoxicated, I could barely walk let alone stand. Soon then Hidan stuck his head in the room with a grin on his face, "Ooooh leaderrr, you have a visitorrrr!"

I did not say anything because I could not focus but a young girl with blue hair sat next to me on the bed.

"Pein! I'm so happy to see you!" said with girl with intense cheerfulness, I think she was drunk as well.

"W-who are you?"

She gasped, "you forgot about me?" she cried, "I-It's me…Konan!"

I narrowed my eyes trying to focus, the name came to me, but I did not know why she was here in the first place.

"I came back for yoooouuu," she said with slurred words, "we had something you know? And I want to start over,"

I shook my head, "not a good choice, I have enough on my mind,"

Soon then, she pushed me onto the mattress and crawled on top of me, "well if you're so stressed, why don't I take the stress away?"

The situation was odd at first and I was defiantly not in my right state of mind, so I went with it, when she kissed me down my neck it did make me feel good.

As the moment passed I heard some noise outside the door, and then I heard the door swing open. It was Akira with eyes wide with shock. She had caught us making out.

"Oh…is that your girlfriend?" Konan smirked.

"Ex…" Akira muttered with the meanest look and ran off.

My mind instantly became clear, "Akira wait! I can explain!" I cried as I pushed konan off me to catch up with her, but I was too late. She was gone.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I was beyond angry; this anger boiled so much that I do not even think I could handle it, I stopped down the hall quickly pushing whatever and whoever that was in my way.

"Akira what's going on?" Deidara asked.

"Fuck off bastard!" I roared.

All men are the same! They tell you these wonderful lies and make you think they love you when really they do not! All they want is one thing; clearly, I thought Pein was better than that. Apparently, I was wrong.

When Tobi tried to come up to me, I gave him the meanest look ever, "You can fuck off to! you hyperactive bastard!" I shouted out of anger, before he could make it up to me, he ran off in tears.

When I made it outside, I got in dragon from and flew as far as I could, I landed in the middle of a forest with a lake nearby, and I went back to normal and just stared at the water.

Why would he cheat on me! I thought what we had been real; I thought we were meant for each other.

I just stood there wondering why Pein would make such an insane choice, after all this time was our love fake?

After a good hour, I heard a rustle in the bushes, I jolted up, and preparing for whatever the thing was. Turned out it was Deidara.

I relaxed, "What are you doing here?" I muttered.

He sighed trying to catch his breath, "I….I followed you here,"

"Well you wasted your time, all you MEN are the same, no respect for women, so I suggest you leave…"

Deidara was silent for a minute, "well, I never thought I tell anyone this…but I'm gay,"

I turned around raising an eyebrow, "Huh?"

"Heh, yeah you herd right, I'm gay, and I don't know if that matters now, but I just want to be your friend…"he said, "someone you can trust at least, I know it's weird being surrounded by a bunch of guys, especially for a beautiful girl like you,"

It was my turn to be silent, I would have never thought of Deidara as a homosexual. "Well, I guess you're off the hook," I said softly.

"Now," he said comforting me, "What happened back there? Between you and Pein,"

I frowned at the thought of another girl kissing him, "he cheated on me…"

Deidara gasped, "Nuh uh!"

"Yep…"

"That's…so not like him! I mean he worshiped you!"

"Apparently it was an act…"

"But… I always herd Hidan talk to someone in his room, talking about having them visit Pein and I heard something like ruining a relationship…it was weird,"

After he said that, my mind suddenly clicked, "wait, explain that again?"

"I always herd Hidan mumble about saying that he'll ruin a relationship, and that if he couldn't have you no one could," he explained, and then he snapped his fingers figuring it out, "So It wasn't Pein's fault!"

"How?"

"Dude, think about it! Hidan always got pissed when Pein caught him trying to flirt with you, and he got so jealous that he ruined you and Pein's relationship,"

After I thought about it, it did make sense, but why would Pein kiss another girl anyway!

Moment's later Pein emerged from the woods; I just looked at him, not saying anything.

Deidara stood there awkwardly for a minute, but decided to leave us alone. He gave me a hug and a light kiss on the cheek, "Be strong ok, and follow your heart," he said after he left.

"Akira…" he said.

"Pein,"

"I saw Deidara leave, so I figured I followed, if that was ok…"

"I don't know if I should be pissed or infuriated, I mean Pein, you REALLY hurt me,"

"I know Akira and I'm so sorry! I really am, Hidan gave me some drink, I thought was tea, but I guess I was not because I got drunk, and then here comes konan, trying to get back with me. I wasn't thinking at all…" he looked down in defeat, "I'm sorry it had to end like this, I just want you to forgive me,"

Hmmm, hearing what he said and what Deidara said, I believe all this is started to lead up to what Hidan did. This is his entire fault.

"Pein… I know it wasn't your fault, Hidan fooled you into cheating on me to ruin our relationship, since I put two and two together, its clear to me now,"

Pein cursed his self for falling for Hidan's trap.

"But…. It still bothers me that you would kiss another girl, drunk or not,"

"Yeah, I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me… I don't know how to make it up to you,"

"You can't, what's done is done," I said, "however, did you notice where we are…"

He looked around, noticing the familiar surroundings, "This is…"

"When we went our separate ways…"

He signed, "How ironic…"

I gave a small laugh, "Don't think we're going to separate again Pein, I mean yeah I'm upset, but I still want to be with you,"

He looked up, "Really?"

"Yeah, I still feel affection for you Pein, but my mind is still unsure if your love is real…"

It was silent for awhile then Pein suddenly walked up to me and gave me the longest, and most passionate kiss ever, "My love IS real Akira," he said after, he held my hand and asked, "do you believe in me now?"

I smiled and hugged him, "Yeah, I believe in you Pein."

"So, were you coming back to the base, or did you still want to be left alone?"

"Heh, no I'm fine, but we do need to do something about Hidan though,"

"Yeah, your right, he can't get away with this."

I thought for a minute, "Hmm, I think I know someone that would love to...Accompany him, let's go down to a special building down near the village"

When we got back to the hideout, Pein and I walked in hand in hand, when Hidan saw us he squeezed the glass he was holding so hard it shattered, "W-what the hell is this?" he cried.

"Your lil scam failed Hidan, and you're going to pay big time," Pein said in a strict voice.

"Tch, what are going to do…kill me?" he said mockingly.

"Na, that would be too easy," I said, "we want to thank you actually,"

He had a puzzled look "Huh?"

"Yeah," I continued, "You made our relationship stronger than ever, and it's all thanks to you Hidan,"

"Tch… yeah right you're—"

"That's why were rewarding you with something were sure you'll like" I said with fake excitement.

"S-say what?"

"Yep it's true," Pein, said, "You get to spend a WHOLE month with a special someone" he grinned.

"Whoa! Are you fucking serious? Are you guys yanking my chain?,"

"Oh Yeaaah, since you say you're so GOOD with romance we found you a little…friend" I told him, I went to the door and slowly opened the door.

Everyone waited in anticipation to see the mysterious girl, Hidan widened his eyes in excitement. When the door opened, a very large sized woman wobbled in with a smile.

"Meet Aoi!" I cried, "We picked her out down at the whore house for you, since you're so smooth with the ladies and all, she's your blind date for the whole month!"

Everyone covered their mouths to prevent a laugh, when Hidan saw her he instantly became pissed, "Whoa wait the fucking minute? You two expect me to fuck this wide load!" he shouted.

"Oh you're right, he IS a foulmouthed smooth talker," Aoi grinned, "That turns me on so much!"

Hidan shoved Pein, "you think you're fucking funny with this shit? I am not going to be with Dumbo for a month!"

Pein smirked, "complain all you want Hidan, we signed a deal and forged your name, so by law you're going to be Aoi's mate! And don't bother trying to kill her; she's tough like steel,"

"I don't care what you say about me," Aoi smiled, "I love a man who talks dirty!" With small effort, Aoi carried Hidan's small body and carried him out the door with him pounding on her back cursing and threatening us all.

"Have fun you two!" I shouted. Heh serves him right!

When the commotion was over, Tobi walked up to me, I could not tell but I am sure he had a worried look on his face, "A-Akira-Chan?" he said in a shaky tone.

"Yeah Tobi?"

"Are you still…mad at me?"

My heart dropped instantly feeling bad for lashing out on him, "Oh no Tobi! I was so upset and I accidently yelled at you, I am sorry I did not mean what I said, I was having a bad day that day,"

The masked boy pulled me to a hug with joy, "I forgive you!"
