Zombies

For the next two days they were supposed to scope out the area of the city, Thursday they would rest, and Friday the mission would finally be carried out. Hidan still wasn't sure about how it would go, it would probably go fine. He was immortal after all...
with injuries... Not starvation or old age though... okay he should be cautious if they got him he was better off dead.

The walk was short- or short for a walk during an apocalypse. They had parked near a neighborhood in Peoria in a patch of trees, hiding the van from the naked eye. "Once we arrive in the main city, the streets will become dangerous. Stay with a partner at all times. Wecan't afford anyone to die during this trip. " Nagatos words were advice that Hidan would most definitely follow.

Hidan stepped a bit closer to Kakuzu who gave him a glare but said nothing. Hidan started seeing zombies  wandering around endlessly, he had seen one who's flesh fell straight off the bone... it was disgusting. He stared at a zombie in the middle of the street who limped around, and catching a glimpse of the group of living people it ran towards them. Sasori held out his gun and shoot it, Nagato giving him a glance. "You are lucky it has silencer. "

"I'm lucky, period. "

"Very funny. "

The conversation ended there and the group continued to walk through the streets of the once populated city. It was sad looking around only to see zombies, crashed cars, and... emptiness. You could feel the sadness radiating in the atmosphere of the place.

~~~

Getting to a building close to their targets building, they spent that whole day observing their patterns throughout the day. Nagato and Konan gasped at an orange haired man they saw that day, and quietly shared a glance. Hidan wondered why they would go so deep to save a friend, but... he would do the same.

The next day, the group had separated into their different teams.

Looking up at the dusty ceiling of the room they were occupying he felt like going to sleep and not waking up. Ever. A sigh escaped his mouth and he fell back onto the even dustier floor with a thud. Deidara scoffed and looked down at him. "What's up? " Deidara stared into the binoculars to get a better look into the building. He was taking the mission pretty seriously.

"Nothing. "

Sasori glanced at the two and then right back into the building. They got lucky the guy wasn't under government, it would have been.... impossible.

"Have you guys done a mission like this before? "

Sasori, Deidara and Tobi all shared a glance and looked away from one another. "Yeah, I guess you could say that. "

"What was it? You all looked at each other. "

"We lost three members that mission. " Zetsu said it for them, he clearly didn't have any emotion at all or it just didn't affect him.

"Yeah... and it was just a supplies run. " Hidan pitied them as they talked about their dead comrades.

"Deidara it wasn't our fault. "

"But what if it was? "

"It wasn't. "

It must have been a mission from when Diedara and Sasori were still fresh to the group. Tobi even dropped his facade.

"Deidara, it wasn't your fault. "

Silence filled the room fast as they remembered their old comrades who they lost that mission... they couldn't ever forget them. Daibutsu... Kie... Kyūsuke... those names ran through the fours head as they thought about that mission.

They died so fast, they hadn't even had the chance to grieve till they got back to base. Hidan felt bad for bringing it up.

so bad.

"I'm sorry I brought it up, I didn't know.. "

"It's okay Hidan, you didn't know. "

"I'm still sorry. "

"It's fine, yeah? "

Hidan gave Deidara a nod and returned back to scouting the place out. He wondered how Kakuzu was doing, and if he had found out about their dead comrades yet.

-

"Alright, you four will scout out. " Nagato said, and the four nodded and walked to the windows of the room they were currently in. Both groups had already separated in preparation for the big day. Kakuzu was staring out the window scanning the building for any movement patterns that would help them. He didn't see much, and by the end of the day he realized how pretty the city looked. Despite all that was broken down, the zombies wandering aimlessly, it was pretty as sundown.

They all sat on the roof, staring up at the sky at the end of Tuesday. Kakuzu had caught Hidan staring six times. Was something wrong with his face? Or did Hidan have an epiphany while in silence for all those hours. Sitting on the roof of the building was the safest bet, zombie wise, human wise... they weren't so lucky. Luckily for them, no human was out of the building at night. It was dangerous at night, as zombies skills doubled. In the daylight, only few had intelligence, during the night they all had reasoning. Well- not enough to open doors, just enough to know that it was survival of the fittest. They would run, jump, and do just about anything for a quick meal.

Kakuzu hadn't stopped thinking about that night when Hidan was drunk for the whole time, and he wished it would stop. It didn't mean anything, Hidan just had no reasoning since he was drunk. What bothered him the most about thinking about it- is that he wished it would happen again. Why was he getting attached? He promised he wouldn't get attached again after his daughter, he wouldn't trust strangers, he wouldn't trust. Trust got his daughter in danger, and he... would do about anything to get her back. It was a major reason he joined the group.

A team so that when he returned to the place, he would retrieve her with more power. Thinking about it now... she was most likely dead. It hurt him to think about it, but she either escaped, still is held hostage, or is... dead. He hoped it was escaped. Knowing her smarts, she had very well befriended them and let her go, every power day he tried to call her and no pick up...

He could only hope for the best huh... Fuu... the sound of steps snapped him from his thoughts and he looked up to see a dog, Samehada was its name? He looked at it and it stared back at him, and laid its head on his lap. He looked around for Kisame, what was the dog doing? It was a well trained dog from what he had seen, it never barked, it was trained well. And it was scary... but a sweetheart from what he had seen.

Not seeing Kisame or Itachi, he assumed they were either fucking or making out, maybe both. He sighed and started petting the dog in his lap which made its tail start to wag. It was a cute dog...

Very cute.

Maybe he would give it treats more often.

just maybe...

Who was he kidding he would give it treats a lot.

"Kakuzu... I'm cold. " He looked at Hidan, who was shivering like there was no tomorrow. He sighed. This kid wouldn't bring a jacket... of course he wouldn't.

"Why didn't you bring a jacket? "

"I forgot. "

Kakuzu rolled his eyes and took his hoodie off and handed it to Hidan, who smiled. "Thank you. "

"No problem, pass me my bag. "

Hidan did pass him the bag with no complaints and put on the hoodie that fit him extremely big.. Kakuzu maybe thought it looked cute. He wouldn't say it aloud. He grabbed his extra jacket and Hidan stared for a second 'he always came prepared.'

Hidan pulled his bag towards him and placed it next to Kakuzus and lied down on it, probably was gonna go to sleep. He looked up at the sky, that was completely dark. It was probably about 7 or 8.

He heard a door open and Itachi and Kisame stepped back into the roof, Samehada instantly jogging over to them. They definitely fucked, and he knew it. The look on their faces said everything. Kakuzu looked at his bag, and also lied down on it, he wasn't gonna sleep. He knew that, he would take awhile before he went to sleep. Hidan was already asleep, he knew how Hidan functioned. As soon as his head hit a pillow, he was asleep. Lucky bastard.

And of course after only ten minutes without thinking about it... that night was back in his head.

why?

~~~

Wednesday and Thursday passed by and it was the morning of Friday, the attack day. The plan would go flawless... not a single thing would happen... or that's what Nagato could hope for.

Arriving at the building, they quickly eliminated the guards at the front door with a simple knife to the neck, and Zetsu took his position as lookout. Without another moment to spare the group ran through the doors and distractions took their places to distract the rest of the building while the other team sneaked up to Danzo, who was located at the top floor from what they had seen.

"Hey you! And you! And you! Hiyaaaaa! " Tobi exclaimed, acting like the man child that he is and got the attention of several guards. They ran towards Tobi with intent to eliminate them but Tobi out skilled them... fortunately.

An explosion rang through the building and got the attention of even more of the guards and Deidara grinned, "Hey Knuckleheads, ya gonna catch me! " the guards grunted, and pulled out there guns and Deidara smiled even more. "Yo! Hidan, give me a hand would you? " Hidan nodded and stepped in front of Deidara as a human shield of sort as Deidara readied another bomb, and the guards were more than shocked seeing Hidan take so many bullets without even flinching.

When Deidaras bomb was ready he threw it into the group of guards... Hidan was so shocked seeing how much skill the group actually had, made him feel worthless and weak. "Thanks, my man! Let's go see Sasori in his art of distracting. " the two walked up to see Tobi done with the group of guards he was dealing with, and they knew he had a stupid grin on his face under the orange mask.

Sasori had gathered a fairly sized group around him, and already had his stupid smirk on his face. "Alright, before you kill me, which you will let's think this through logically, killing me? Not such a good idea. My grandma? She is the one and only Chiyo of the sand, that's right she was the 1st Kazegage. Killing me would send her into a frenzy no? "

The group looked astonished, and they most likely were. Not only did a group of kids break into their base, they acted as if they were above them all. Asking not to be killed? What? "And you see, my Father is head of the Akasuna family... that would... devastate him. I'm afraid of what would happen to you. " the group didn't even take in his words in and they raised there guns mad that they would take so long to kill him.

"Bad idea. "

And within the next few seconds they all fell to the floor. "Poison. " was all Sasori said as stepped past the bodies and towards Tobi, Hidan and Deidara.

"It's always so cool. "

"Oh? "

"Oh."

Hidan shipped them really hard. He didn't even know why he just did. Well he knew exactly why they would be such a good couple. He was gonna get them together... maybe.

"You see anybody with orange hair? " Sasori asked as he looked around the room filled with bodies... they did a massacre. A sigh escaped Sasoris mouth seeing no orange hair throughout the place.

"No. "

"Nope! "

"Nah. "

"I guess we'll head upstairs no? "

~~~

"Alright, on my signal we'll enter the room. " Nagato whispered, and made a sign with his hands meaning enter. The group rushed in and Danzo stared in horror at the sudden entrance, clearly his employees never did that.

"What is the meaning of- " As he turned around his face filled with rage and confusion. "Who are you and why are you here? " Nagato said nothing and motioned them to take on his body guards, there was exactly three of them, which was perfect. Without another word between them Kakuzu, Kisame, and Itachi all rushed at different guards leaving Danzo defenseless.

Kakuzu and the guy he was fighting were evenly matched and it took him awhile to beat him. The guy was fast, way faster than Kakuzu was. But Kakuzu paid it no mind and took the guy out with a chop when his guard was down, and shoved a knife deep into his stomach as a finishing blow. Finished with his he turned to Itachi, Kisame and Samehada. Samehada sat patiently by the door and would warn them if anymore enemies came by.

Itachi used his sharrigan accordingly. Though it wasn't as strong as it had been in Ninja days, it did what it had to do. Increasing reflexes, and if used to it's full strength... it could induce a dream into the person. He had beat the guy quickly as his strength was nothing compared to Itachi. Itachi turned his head as he felt people walk into the room, it only being Deidara, Hidan, Sasori and Tobi.

Kisame finished his job by stabbing a sword into guys stomach and they all stood by Nagato as he acted his revenge. Konan placed her hand to the guys chest and smiled.

"Yahiko, a man you enslaved four years ago. Where is he, and just maybe we will spare you. "

As Danzo looked up at the group, he felt fear. The group towered over him, all had a look of disgust.

"Yahiko.... he should be resting about now.. in the next room to the right. "

"Right, guys. " Konan stood up and walked out the room, leaving the rest to do what they pleased. Nagatos eyes shinned purple and the guy was horrified. Those eyes...

Nagato stuck his hand out, and the guys neck snapped. His eyes fading back to its normal color. The group shared nods and-

BOOM!

A gunshot. What did it hit? Who did it hit? A sound of a thump filled their ears and they all whipped their heads towards the direction. "Sasori! " Deidara ran towards Sasori and held him in his arms. Deidara felt his emotions run out of control, all the moments they had ever had ran through his head. The good and the bad. Everything he took for granted. He didn't feel the tears running down his face, all he saw was a bloody Sasori was had no emotion on his face, his eyes wide open... not blinking. He was blank. The bullet hole on his heart continued to bleed. He was dead.

Hidan stared in horror at the scene. Sasori was shot right in the heart... deidara was crying over him and didn't look okay as he held Sasori face in his hands.

"I-"

Hidan was enraged and sad.

He stared at the guy on the floor who was dying slowly with a sad smile on his face. Hidan walked over and stomped on the guys face his anger increasing. He reached out his arms and grabbed the guys neck, and twisted with full force. A crack noise filled the room and a the group stared in silence at the scene. Their emotions, they felt sad. They lost a member, a friend, their family. They lost another one. They lost Sasori.

Hidans hands started to fidget as his skin turned black and white. The group stared, their anger being hidden as Hidan let it all out. Suddenly, impulse took over his body. He sat down next to Sasori and Deidara stared at him.

"What happene-" Deidara shut up as Hidan bent down and his hands gently grabbed Sasoris face. As Hidan laid his lips on Sasori's lips, Deidara stared in horror.

The group stared at Hidan with confusion, not knowing what the fuck was going on, why Hidan was kissing a dead body, why Hidan had turned black? They didn't know. They were confused. What?

Hidan pulled away and reached into his back pocket and pulled out his knife and sliced his wrists, letting the blood pour out all over Sasori.

Deidara continued to stare, what was he doing? What? What was this supposed to do? Hidan felt his eyes rolling back into his head and he didn't remember another thing as he hit the floor.

"Hidan? " Kakuzu walked over to Hidan. He was beyond confused as he shook Hidan. He didn't flinch nor wake up. He was out cold. A shuffle was heard in the direction of Sasori and they all turned their heads.

Sasori didn't say a word as he rose up from his laying position, he felt good as new, he didn't feel the wound in his heart having anymore effects on him... he wasn't dead anymore. "Wh-what happened? "

Deidara gasped and jumped onto Sasori and gave him the biggest hug he had in forever. He wouldn't ever let anything bad happen to Sasori again. Sasori stared in confusion at the group who was in distress. Everyone was either crying, looked depressed and shocked everything about the room said something bad had happened. He knew he had died, but how was he back.

How on earth was he back here with everyone?

"Did Hidan just bring Sasori back from the dead? "

Everyone looked at Tobi, and then back at Hidan who was passed out on the floor.

"Tobi, for once... I think you are correct. "

"Nagato, I found him! " The door bursted open and Konan was holding an orange haired man who looked confused... "What happened? "

"Sasori died... but Hidan revived him? " Nagato answered.

She looked at everyone and down at the bodies on the floor. Deidara was in hysterics... she could believe the information she had just learned.

"We are leaving now, someone carry Hidan. "

~~~

Hidan groaned as he woke up, he felt like shit. Like his life energy had just been sucked out. "What the fuck happened? " Hidan held his head as he rose up, and everyone turned to look at him. They were at base. Everyone was in his room? Why?

He didn't remember shit after seeing Sasori dead-"What happened to Sasori?! "

"I'm right here... you don't remember? "

Hidan did not.

"Remember what? "

"You turned black and white.. a skeleton pattern. And then you kissed Sasori and bleed on him, and now he's back. " Ninja days...

In ninja days, this was how his religion worked. This was how it worked, "Ninja days! That's how Jashinism worked-for the most part. "

Itachi raised a brow, "Your religion heals people? "

"No. It's the god of death and destruction... I'm not sure how I did this. I heard stories of tasting someone's blood connected you the them, any pain you felt they would also feel. "

Silence filled the room. Hidans stomach broke the peaceful silence.

"I'm hungry. Like really fucking hungry. "

"I'll get you something. "

Hidan was thankful for Zetsu, cause that man sure could cook.
