Hidan whispered another jutsu as he made a long cut on his chest with his kunai. Blood ran down his body...there was a smirk of pleasure plastered on his face as he watched his blood dripping on the floor. He loved the view of blood, and the feeling he got when he harmed himself. He thought of one jutsu he never used before...it inhabited his mind for a while now. It was one of the most dangerous jutsus ever created by Jashin-sama. Hidan thought for a while before grabbing the scroll with the jutsu on it and reading it over.

*...blah, blah, blah...consequences...blah, blah...f*ck sake...* Hidan threw the scroll on the floor and prepared himself. As he whispered the jutsu his mind for dreadfully thinking about the consequences, yet he didn’t stop. It wasn’t in Hidan’s nature to doubt his actions...and so he finally said it.At first he didn’t feel the difference...but after a couple of minutes he could feel his body become numb...he tried to move his hands or legs, but they were paralyzed. *F*ck me sideways...* he cursed in his mind before falling on the ground lifelessly.

* * * * * * * * *

Kakuzu entered the room, just to find Hidan’s lifeless body on the floor. He rolled his eyes and came closer. He kicked Hidan’s body with his leg: “Get the f*ck up Hidan. Leader-sama needs to see you.”

But Hidan didn’t move an inch. Kakuzu raised his eyebrow.

“Come on a**hole. Stop fooling around.” He said angrily. Yet there was no reaction from Hidan’s side. *Looks as if he isn’t pretending.* Kakuzu thought quite surprised. He kneeled beside his partner and observed him. *Coma. Better tell the leader.*

* * * * ** * * * * * *

“What will we do with him, un?” Deidara asked looking at Hidan’s body.

“Can I make him my puppet?” Sasori asked hopefully.

“Or we can just eat him...” Zetsu suggested out of the kindness of his heart.

“Hnn...” Itachi didn’t say much, just glare at the walls wanting nothing more but leave the room.“We will not do any of the suggested.” Pein said raising his arm to calm everybody down.

“Then what do you suggest?” Konan asked with her arms crossed on her chest.

“We need to bring him back. We need him and his powers.”

“But how are we going to do that? Nobody knows the jutsu he used...nobody can do it...” Kisame said confused.

“We won’t...we will take him to someone who can.” Leader replied sighing at how stupid Kisame could sometimes be.

“Oh...” Kisame said dumbstruck.

“Whom, un?” Deidara asked raising his eyebrows.

“I’ve heard of this girl named Mayu, she’s one of Jashin’s believers, but her real occupation is healing. She’s a medic nin. Nobody can compare with her abilities.” Leader replied.

“So we guess we can’t eat him then.” Zetsu’s black side said disappointed.

“No. Kakuzu, Itachi...get him ready. We’re leaving in half an hour.” Leader said getting up and walking out with Konan closely behind him.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Akatsuki walked to a huge rich looking temple. They looked around and walked inside. Kakuzu gasped at all the golden statues around, just to receive a glare from the leader’s side.

Kisame walked behind everyone carrying Hidan, not really caring about anything.As they approached the altar somebody’s tender voice broke the silence:

“Who may you be?”

Akatsuki stopped and turned around. They guys couldn’t help but gasp at the girl standing in front of them. Her beautiful dreamy sky blue eyes were sparkling in the sunlight from the window...her gorgeous long black hair with purple strands fell on her small but firm breasts. Her pale skin was so clear that it seemed as if she was a walking and talking doll. She was tall, very tall for a girl, with beautiful body. The guys eyed every inch of her visible skin, until she broke the silence again.

“Who are you, intruders of my temple?” she asked, her voice sounded amused.

“We are here for help.” The leader spoke recovering from the shock.

“I see.” She walked down the small steps and approached the group closely. “And what kind of help do you seek?” she asked looking into the leaders eyes. There was fear in her eyes...not even a tiny bit.

“One of our members fell in coma after performing a ritual...and we need to get him back to life...” The leader explained.The girl listened carefully lightly nodding her head.

“I see. Bring the member of your group here, I’ll see what I can do.”

“We already brought him.” Kisame said loudly stepping in front and placing Hidan on the floor in front of the girl.

Her eyes widened as see looked at the man lying near her feet. Her heart was beating faster and faster with every glance she took at him, even though from the outside she was absolutely calmed.

“I cannot help you.” She said emotionlessly taking a few steps back from Hidan.

“...but you can cure anything...” Leader said.

“Yes...but...not him.” She replied coldly.

“Why is that, yeah?” Deidara asked staring at her.

The girl sent him a death glare and turned around.

“Because I said so, now don’t waste your time trying to persuade me. I will not do it. Not now not ever.” She walked to the altar and sat down.

Leader looked at Hidan than at the girl. There was something wrong. He could sense it. Some kind of tension between the two.

“Everybody, wait outside.” He ordered as he approached the girl.

She didn’t look up, nor did she move from her place. She remained still.

“There is a reason why you refused to help...” He stated in a matter of fact way, she didn’t reply, just continued staring at the wall. “...not because you can’t...but because you don’t want to.” He stressed the last sentence. This made her look up and glare at him.

“So I see you’ve got it all figure out. Well done.” She said bitterly.

“...it seemed to me like you two already know each other. Am I correct?”

“Yes.” The girl sighed heavily.

“Whatever personal matters there are between you two, it doesn’t matter right now. You are a healer...you do not choose whom to help...you help everybody who needs your help.” He stated eyeing her with his piercing eyes.

The girl once again didn’t reply. This man with various piercings knew what he was saying.

“What’s your point?”

“My point is...it is your DUTY to help him...ignoring the personal matters...ignoring your feelings and...”“I got it.” The girl raised her hand to stop him from talking. There was an awkward silence between them until she finally stood up and spoke.

“Fine. I will help him. But I don’t know how long it will take.”

“THAT is NOT a problem.” The leader smirked.

“Leave now.” The girl demanded.

“As you wish mistress...” the leader bowed a little and exited the temple.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Mayu sighed heavily and called two of her assistants. They carried Hidan into the ritual room and laid him of a large polished black rock. They bowed to Mayu and exited the room.

Mayu walked around the room slowly gathering the ingredients and placing them in front of the black rock. She kneeled beside and started preparing the potion; she whispered required jutsus quietly causing small explosions from the jar she placed the ingredients in.

When she was done, she stood up and walked closer to Hidan’s body; she took out a kunai and made a deep cup on her hand. Mayu placed her hand over Hidan’s body letting the blood drip onto his bare muscular chest. She whispered a couple of words and took the jar into both of her hands. She spilled the contents on his chest and started rubbing it in, letting it mix with her blood.

At last, she took the kunai again this time making a cut on his chest. The cut was deep; the blood was running down his chest while Mayu took the jar into her hand and spilled the left over in the wound. The wound started healing with enormous speed...Mayu took a wet cloak and started cleaning the blood off his body. When she was done, she walked to the other side of the room and sat down crossing her arms on her chest. She closed her eyes and quickly drifted to sleep.

When she opened her eyes, Hidan was still lying in the same position as she left him before falling asleep. Mayu sighed and got up to walk out of the room when she heart noises behind her. She froze and slowly turned around.

Hidan lifted himself up on his elbows and slowly opened his eyes. They widened lightly as he realized that he was in an unknown room. His eyes slowly scanned the room until they reached…Her.

He couldn’t move…he couldn’t breathe…he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Mayu stood with her hands by her sides, holding her head slightly down, looking at him. The light from the candles reflected in her sky blue eyes, yet they remained emotionless.

Hidan stood up and slowly approached her, making her take a step back.

“Mayu…is that…really you?” He whispered reached out to touch her but she avoided his hands and walked away to the small window.

“It’s been a long time Hidan.” She replied looking outside. It was night already; the stars were shining brightly making her smile a little. She always loved looking at the stars.

Hidan didn’t reply. He leaned on the nearest wall and looked at her. She was gorgeous…just like she was when he left her. The painful memories came back once again…ever since he left they haunted him almost every night. Her puffy red eyes, tired look on her face…messy hair and breakable body…

He sighed heavily and closed his eyes.

*Flashback*** (Mayu – 19 (human), Hidan – already immortal)

“Hidan-san,” Mayu called running into his room with a wide smile on her face. She wrapped her arms around him and pressed her face to his back.

A small smile spread on his face but it quickly faded away. He turned around and unwrapped her arms.

“Mayu…I’m leaving.” He said coldly trying to avoid her gaze.

Her big beautiful blue eyes widened in shock and horror. She leaned in to wrap her arms around him again but he slapped them away irritatingly. Mayu bit her lower lip and held back a cry.

“Hidan…” she whispered his name so quietly that he could barely hear her soft gentle voice, “why are you leaving me? What did I do wrong?”

“You were born.” He replied harshly getting up from his seat and walking to the exit.

Mayu stood paralyzed by his words. Tears were running down her cheeks and dripping on her chest, while her hands shook violently.

“Hidan-san…?” she called making him stop, but not look around.

“What f*cking is it?” he snapped angrily.

“…I…I love you…” she whispered chocking on her own cries.

Hidan closed his eyes and clenched his fists. These were the most beautiful and desirable words he ever got to hear in his entire life…and they were addressed to him. yet he brushed them away as if they meant nothing.

“Love is a weakness…and I don’t like weak people.” He stated and walked out of the room.

Walked out of her life. Walked away.

*END FLASHBACK***

Hidan opened one eye and looked at her again. His heart ached from the flashback. He had no other choice…he had to leave her. If he didn’t, he’d put her in too much danger…or worse…she could get killed because of him, and knowing her stubborn nature…he knew she’d rather die than obey.“Did you heal me?” he asked looking down at him body.

“Yes.” She replied softly. Her voice was just as beautiful as it was before…even better…it sounded more mature, but still tender and quiet. “You are fully healed now, you may leave.” She added not moving.

“Leave…” he repeated to himself. *She told me to leave…* he thought processing the words in his head, but he couldn’t seem to focus.

He pushed himself away from the wall and made his way to Mayu. She felt him standing behind her but she didn’t turn around.

“What do you want Hidan?” she asked emotionlessly.

“I want you…” he replied putting his hands on her shoulder but she pushed them away and glared at him.

“Since when?” she asked rudely, her eyes sending daggers at him.

“I’ve always wanted you Mayu.” He replied trying to touch her again, but once again she slapped his hands away.

She laughed, but her laugh contained no happiness…it was bitter…yet sweet to his ears, just because it came from her.

“I think you should just leave. There’s no point and no need for you to be here.” She stated walked past him to the rock he laid on. She gathered his belongings and some of his clothes including the cloak and handed them to him.

Hidan reached out to take them, making their fingers touch. This simple move made Mayu immediately pull her hand back as if his hands were on fire.

Hidan walked to the exit but stopped in front of the door. “Can I come to see you again?” he asked not turning around.

“No.”

He groaned and walked out leaving her behind. Mayu looked at the space he was just a minute ago letting a single tear escape her eyes. “No…” she whispered once again.

**** * * ** * * * * * * * * * *

Hidan whispered a jutsu making a giant rock shift from its position and open the pass to the hide out. He walked in silently not making any noise, not because he didn’t want to but because his mind was occupied with Mayu.

Hidan opened the door to his room just to find Kakuzu counting the money again. He cussed under his breath and walked in. Kakuzu looked up and his eyes widened. Then a smirk spread on his face, Hidan couldn’t see it because of the mask.

“So I see she did bring you back.” Kakuzu said slyly.

“What the f*ck do you mean you f*cking ugly piece of sh*t.” Hidan spat, being in the lousiest mood ever.

Kakuzu groaned angrily but didn’t make an attempt to kill him.

“Well, when we took you to that girl, she refused to help.” He stated moving on to another case with money.

Hidan’s eye twitched making him clench his fists.

“What do you mean?” he asked emotionlessly.

“I meant what I said; she didn’t want to help you. She refused, though after leader-sama had a word with her she agreed. Dramatic isn’t it?” Kakuzu said now looking up at Hidan.

Hidan took a step back not believing his ears. *She didn’t want to help. She didn’t want to help.* the phrase cut his ears like a razor. *Why wouldn’t she? Does she hate me this much?* Hidan thought colour leaving his face.

“Oi Hidan,” Kakuzu called getting up. Hidan looked up and watched Kakuzu approach him.

“What?” he barked angrily.

“Do you know that girl?” Kakuzu asked blankly.

“That’s not your f*cking business.” Hidan snarled rudely pushing past his part to the exit. He made his way to the temple thinking. He didn’t care if she didn’t to see him. HE wanted to see HER, and that’s all that matter for him now.

He walked into the temple silently not wanting to make any unwanted noise. The temple seemed deserted. The deadly silence ruled in the temple, until he heard movement behind one of the doors. Hidan approached the door slowly, he put his hand on the handle but hesitated to open it. Brushing his thoughts off he pushed the door slightly open and looked in.

Mayu poured some essential oil into the bath, making the room smell like lavender, jasmine and roses. Hidan inhaled the scent silently not wanting her to notice him. She slowly approached the tub and started undoing her dress. After a couple of minutes the dress fell on the ground leaving Mayu in nothing but a pair of silky white panties. Mayu had her back turned to him so he couldn’t see her front making him pout quietly.

“I know you are there Hidan,” Mayu said quietly making him trip over his own feet and fall into the room. She turned around and looked at him. “What are you doing here? I told you not to come.” She spoke her voice calmed and emotionless. Completely opposite of the old Mayu Hidan knew.

“Why didn’t you want to help me when they brought me?” Hidan blurted out.

Mayu shrugged and covered herself with a bath robe. “Why would I want to help you?” she asked gazing at him with her beautiful sky blue eyes, that made his heart melt so many times before.“Because you love me…” he mumbled not meaning for it out like this.

Mayu raised her eyebrows surprised. A small smile spread on her pale face. She chuckled which made Hidan groan angrily. He didn’t understand what was so funny.

“Hidan, Hidan, Hidan…do you really think that after you abandoned me five years ago, I’d still be deeply and madly in love with you? You are so naive.” She laughed, but the laugh didn’t come from her heart. It was cold…as if she forced it out of her.

“Stop f*cking around Mayu,” Hidan groaned angrily punching the nearest wall. “I only left you because I didn’t want to put you in danger…being with me could have been fatal for you…”

“It was fatal for me.” He interrupted him. Mayu took a brush and started brushing her black & purple locks, letting them fall freely on her beautiful feminine chest.

“What?” Hidan asked confused of what she was trying to say.

“…after you left, I didn’t feel like there was a need for me to live in the village anymore…I didn’t feel like there was a need for me to live at all…So I left. I’ve walked many days and many nights, but the pain didn’t leave, so on the 6th night I’ve decided to do IT. I walked to the edge of a cliff and jumped off…” Mayu said, her voice quieter with every word she spoke.

Hidan’s eyes widened in shock and realization that HE, Hidan, killed her. That it was HIS fault…everything was his fault.

He ran to her and kneeled besides her taking her small hands in his. “Mayu…I’m so sorry…” he whispered kissing and caressing them. “I didn’t mean for this to happen…all I wanted was to protect you…” he continued caressing her pale hands with his. “Will you be able to ever forgive me?” he asked pleadingly a few tears escape his breath taking eyes.

Mayu looked into his eyes, getting lost in their depth. She sighed and tried to pull her hands away but he held them tighter.

“You are not allowed to have physical contact with women Hidan. You religion forbids it.” She said once again pulling her hands away. This time Hidan pulled her towards him almost crushing her in his hug. “My religion forbids me to have any physical contact with Jashin-sama’s Mistress only.” He whispered into her ear.

Mayu groaned and pushed him away. “You never let me finish Hidan…after I jumped off that cliff; I’ve died instantly as soon as I hit the ground. A couple of men in white robes found me and brought me to this temple. I was reincarnated by various forbidden jutsus, after three days I got all my senses back. This temple was given to me along with the healing technique gift, in exchange of my faithfulness to a certain somebody…Hidan…I AM the Jashin’s Mistress.”

Hidan’s breath got caught in his throat. He suddenly felt paralyzed. He couldn’t move, he couldn’t speak…he couldn’t even look at her anymore.

His mind was blocked from all the thoughts but one: “The girl he was in love with belonged to his God.”Mayu watched him carefully, studying the change in his expression, but there was none. She stood up and walked over to the bathtub. With a quick move she removed her clothes and got in. bubbles covered her naked body, hiding her from his sight, but he didn’t seem to notice her actions.

Mayu relaxed a little, but her eyes were still on Hidan. He looked like a zombie. The man she loved five years ago…the man she died for…he was there so close yet so far away.

Mayu sighed heavily trying to understand her feeling towards him. After five years of desperately trying to forget and stop loving…she couldn’t…she was still in love…but it was never meant to be.

*Flashback***(Mayu – 18, Hidan – god knows how old he is)

Mayu cried in pain and looked down at her leg. It was broke. She could a bone sticking out of her think leg, blood was running down her leg and dripping onto the soft green grass. Mayu felt sick, she turned around and held a hand to her mouth.

She heard Hidan cuss loudly at the ninjas. She looked up and her mouth dropped open, she watched Hidan sacrifice four men, one after another. When he go to the last one, the one that broke Mayu’s leg, he couldn’t help but torture him. Mayu screamed quietly and closed her eyes.

She hated watching people get hurt or killed…she hated what Hidan did to those men…but she was in too much pain object, besides she knew he wouldn’t listen.

When he was done, he rushed to her and kneeled beside looking at the wound.

“I will have to put the bone back in,” he stated in a matter of fact way. “This will hurt.”

“No, wait, I don…ARGHHHHHHH….” Mayu screamed on top of legs letting the tears run down her face. Her fists were clenched and nails pierced the soft skin.

“Shhh…I’m sorry…I’m almost done…” Hidan whispered lovingly. He was rarely this gentle with her. Even though they’ve known each other for many years…Mayu practically grew up with him…he was never this gentle with her.

He placed his hands over her wound and in a matter of seconds it started healing. First slowly, then faster and faster until it was fully closed. Hidan observed her leg, making sure there were no other injuries and sighed.

“I’m putting you in too much danger…” he mumbled to himself.

Hidan picked her up and carried her to the lake. Mayu wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest, listening to his heart beat.

Hidan sat her down and placed both of her legs into the water. He got in the lake himself and with slow movements he started washing off the blood and dirt that dried up on her pale flesh.

Mayu blushed as his hands tenderly stroked her legs. When the last bit of dirt was off Hidan suddenly ran his fingers from her toes to her hips, sending shivers down her spine. He gave her a question look expecting her to protest, but she didn’t…

Hidan pressed his lips gently to her bare flesh, sending electricity through both of them. It wasn’t the first time he was with a woman, but it was the first time he treated a woman like that. Usually he just got what he wanted and left…but he couldn’t do it with Mayu. She was too pure, too innocent to be treated like that. More to the point, he wanted to be with her, not only for physical contact but for the love she possessed.

His lips blew small kisses all over while his rough hands massaged her hips. He stopped and looked up at her, her pale cheeks were slightly rosy and her eyes were widely opened. Hidan wanted to stop, but there was so much need and want in her eyes that he couldn’t restrain himself. He picked her up and laid her on the grass gently with her arms wrapped around his neck.

Hidan leaned in and pressed his cold lips to her warm ones. At first the kiss was slow, like both of them were getting used to the new feeling, but when that phase passed, both started kissing more passionately, hungrier, needful. Hidan’s hands made their way under her shirt. Mayu gasped, he gave her a question look.

“Cold hands.” She mumbled slightly embarrassed.

A huge smile spread on Hidan’s face. “That’s not for long…” he whispered back.

He massaged her belly while his other hand rubbed the inside of her thighs. His lips pressed to hers, immediately he licked her lower lips demanding the entrance, Mayu parted her lips lightly, but it was enough for him to slip his tongue in. His tongue roamed her mouth wildly as if he couldn’t get enough of her. After a small fight for dominance, Hidan let Mayu slip her tongue into his mouth. Her tongue was gentler than his as it traveled from one inch of his mouth to another, memorizing it.

Mayu broke the kiss gasping for air. Hidan kissed his way from her collar bone to her neck earning little moans from her side, until he finally hit the spot, that made her moan out loudly. He smirked over her flesh and continued kissed and biting on that same spot, leaving a huge hickey. Mayu moaned loudly, while she ran her fingers through his soft blonde hair then over his already bare back.

Hidan removed her shirt eagerly, he fought with her bra but he couldn’t seem to figure it out. He cussed quietly under his breath and tried again. Mayu chuckled looking at his attempts. He placed her hands on her bra and undid it for him. Hidan brightened up.

“Thanks…” he mumbled as his mouth instantly fell on her right breast, while he massaged the other.

He sucked on it like a baby, making Mayu arch her back. She ran her finger nails over his back, feeling him shiver under her touch. She smiled knowing he enjoyed it.

His lips travelled from her breast to her belly. He licked around her belly button, pulling her belly ring very lightly.

“You are beautiful…” he whispered making her blush. She was glad that he didn’t look up to see it.

He pulled her shorts down leaving her only in her panties. With a swift move he removed those as well. Leaving her naked for his admiration.

Mayu tugged on his pants, he pushed himself up letting her pull them off along with his underwear.

Hidan looked lovingly into her eyes as he pulled her closer…Mayu wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered quietly into his ear: “This is my first time…”

Hidan nodded rubbing her back. “I’ll be gentle,” he whispered back as he entered her slowly.

Mayu dug her nails into his flesh and bit her lower lip in agony. A few tears escaped her eyes but Hidan rushed to kiss them away.

He whispered sweet words into her ear while he moved in and out of her slowly. After a few minutes Mayu’s pained expression changed. She let out a loud moan and wrapped her arms tighter around him.

Hidan moved faster, earning louder moans from her until she started yelling out his name. “Faster…please.” She moaned looking into his eyes.

He crushed her lips on her parted ones shoving his tongue into her mouth. Hidan slowed down making her break the kiss and groan from desperation.

“Hidan…please…”

“Please what?” he smirked playfully.

Mayu pulled his face closer to her. “Faster…” with that she licked lips and bit on his lower one.

“As you wish mistress…”

He moved faster and faster and faster…Mayu felt like she was going to faint from all the pleasure he was giving her.

Finally, he collapsed on top her breathing heavily. Mayu ran her fingers through his hair smiling. Hidan popped himself up on his elbows and looked at her. She looked more beautiful than she usually did. Her long black and purple hair was spread messily on the grass; some fell on her firm breasts. Her chest moved up and down while she breathed making him want to touch it. Her full red lips were lightly parted, while her sky blue eyes watched him intensively. There was a faint blush on her pale cheeks which made her even more desirable.

“Mayu…” Hidan whispered.

She gave him a question look.

“I…you are mine…” he whispered not able to bring himself to admit that he loved her.

Mayu wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her forehead to him.

“I know.”

*END FLASHBACK***

Mayu looked at Hidan who was still sitting on the floor silently. He brought so many memories…unwanted memories, but yet such a sweet ones. Mayu let a tear escape her eyes, not able to hold it back anymore.

Hidan turned his head and looked at the girl in the bathtub with bubbles. Her hair was up letting him see her long gorgeous neck and the bit mart he gave her six years ago. The memory of their first time together came back, leaving his heart aching.

He got up and walked to the bathtub; he kneeled beside it and placed his hands on the edge of it. Hidan looked into Mayu’s eyes searching for a hint that she still cared. And he found it. Mayu turned her head away from him letting more tears escape her eyes.

“Mayu…” he whispered turning her head to face him again.

“Hidan…don’t…” she whispered removing his hands.

“I can’t…” he whispered back leaning closer to her beautiful face.

“You will get punished…and this time I might not be able to save you…”

“I don’t care…just one last kiss…” Hidan whispered pressing his lips to her. Her eyes closed immediately as she wrapped her arms around his neck letting him deepen the kiss. Their chest pressed while she ran her wet fingers through his hair and he held his hands firmly on her waist.

Instinctively Mayu opened her mouth letting him slip his tongue in. his tongue moved eagerly around her mouth, memorizing every inch of it, not wanting to miss anything.

When they broke the kiss they pressed their foreheads together and looked into each other’s eyes breathing heavily.

“I love you…” Hidan whispered. A small smile appeared on Mayu’s face.

“I love you too Hidan.” She whispered back, while he hugged her tighter.
