Akatsuki Oneshots

Kakuzu

"It'll be worth your time, I promise!"

"For the last time, NO HIDAN!"

I huffed angrily trying to escape the silver-haired man. For the past two hours he had been trying to get me go somewhere with him, but I knew better than to trust Hidan.

"It's f*cking for Kakuzu."

I stopped in my tracks and turned around to face him.

"See that got your damn attention."

"Hidan what do you want?"

"Just follow me."

Having no other choice I followed Hidan down all the confusing twists and turns of the Akatsuki hideout until we reached his room.

"Why are we at your room?"

He seemed to pick up on my discomfort and he chuckled.

"No it's not for that sweetheart. Your motherf*cking boyfriend wants to see you."

"Motherf... that's a good image to put in my head Hidan."

He laughed before leaving me to enter the room by myself. I slightly opened my door to see Kakuzu sitting on his bed counting his money. Since his back was turned toward me and he hadn't noticed me yet, I quietly sneaked over to him. I climbed on the bed wrapping my arms around his waist and kissed his cheek.

"You wanted to see me?"

He grunted not even bothering to look at me. I frowned disappointed with his reaction. He never paid attention to me anymore, not since he had asked me out. Ever since then he has been distant and unresponsive.

"Do you think you could go get my account book back from Tobi? I don't feel like dealing with the pest.. That's all I wanted."

Never once did he look at me he just keep staring at that damn money of his. I'm not even sure why but the longer I sat there the angrier I got until I couldn't handle it anymore.

"I'm tired of you! You know that Kakuzu! Ever since you asked me out you haven't been the same! Do you not love me anymore? Is that it?!"

He just sat there not batting an eyelash at my outburst. That was the last straw for me. I got up and angrily slammed his door before stalking off to my own room.

About thirty minutes later there was a soft knock at my door. I didn't want to let anyone since I had been crying and I didn't want them to think I was weak.

"____, it's me Konan."

"Come in."

Konan was my best friend as the only other girl in the Akatsuki, and other than that I just felt like I could trust her.

"What happened?"

The bed dipped signaling her presence.

"Kakuzu..he's just..... not he same."

"Have you talked to him?"

"......"

"You yelled didn't you..."

It didn't happen often but when I got mad I yelled, and I never yelled.

"Yeah."

"It's ok all couples have fights."

"But Konan he didn't even look at me. He just keep staring at his money."

"Well it is Kakuzu."

I gave a weary laugh.

"I guess you have a point."

Konan was about to reply when someone knocked on my door.

"___."

It was Kakuzu I would recognize that voice from anywhere. Konan raised a questioning eyebrow at me and I just nodded my head. She left my bed to open the door and Kakuzu brushed past her coming into my room.

"I'll see you later."

With that Konan left leaving me all alone with Kakuzu.

"What do you want?"

I couldn't help but to resent how cold and cruel my voice sounded, but I knew it was for the best.

"To see you."

I scoffed at him.

"And why would you want to see me."

"Because you're my girlfriend."

He sat beside me on the bed and brushed a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Are you daft? You made it pretty clear you wanted nothing to do with me before."

He sighed and laid down on my bed as he thought. I couldn't help but want to take his mask off and see his face, it had been such a long time. My hands moved as if they had their own mind slowly removing his mask. He never opened his eyes or protested, so I took it off completely revealing his stitched mouth and his long brown hair. He was one of the most handsome men I had ever met.

"I'm not sure how to say it."

I looked down at him confused.

"Just say it."

"I...when I asked you out I was so happy. I felt like I had finally found someone that loved me, but I quickly came to realize that you deserve some so much better than me. Someone with a lot more money, someone that could buy you whatever you desired."

I sat there in shock. Was that it?! Was that why he treated me that way?

"Kakuzu...."

"So I decided to distance myself from you. I hoped you would end our relationship because I just couldn't find the strength to do so myself. And now I'm really mad because I sound like a f*cking idiot."

I chuckled.

"You sound like you've spent to much time around Hidan."

He gave me a soft smile before sitting up and brushing a lock of my hair behind my ear again.

"I love you, ____."

"I love you too, Kakuzu."

"So you forgive me?"

"Yeah. I'm thinking about blaming Hidan for all this."

Kakuzu chuckled as I snuggled into his chest not being able to get enough of his touch at the moment.

"And maybe we could charge him for... emotional pain?"

I got an evil gleam at my brilliant idea.

"Now it sounds like I've been rubbing off on you.... so how much money are we talking about anyways?"
