Jashin (hidan love story)

Chapter 24

  After a few weeks of experiments dying it became very apparent that the scroll we were using would not help us any further. Aggravated by this revelation, Orochimaru has ordered Kabuto to do some more research into the subject. So our experiments have been temporarily halted, and i was back on training duty with Sasuke. Sasuke is more than thrilled about this however since while i was gone he had no one of interest to spar against. Thanks to my training there weren't many people in this facility that would last long against him. Sadly for Sasuke I have been feeling much stronger than usual for the past few weeks as Hidan seems to be taking his anger at me out on his sacrifices. In fact his sacrifices tome have nearly doubled since our last meeting. I wonder if he would continue to worship Jashin if he knew that his god was the one that knocked him out and lied to him, but i won't dwell on it, I'll just enjoy the energy it gives. Today i decided to give Sasuke a break, after a few sparring sessions i told him it was enough for the day. Instead of leaving to wherever the hell he normally goes after our sessions however, he decided to follow me around, once again asking questions about his older brother. I thought that we were over this sort of thing, but at least this time he did not ask about a location, knowing that it had been too long and by now they will have moved around too much. This time it was questions such as how strong he had gotten before i left, how far his sharingan has come, and other such combat knowledge. I answered him to the best of my abilities, not seeing a reason not to tell him, and reminded him that his brother had most likely gotten stronger than the last time that i had seen him. "Don't worry Sasuke. I've taught you more then enough. You should be able to beat your brother by the time the two meet up again." I smiled over at him and he seemed to relax. Then suddenly he got nervous. I could tell because he wouldn't look me in the eye. "What's wrong Sasuke? Something on your mind?" He seemed to deliberate for a minute on weather or not to tell me before he took a deep breath and looked back up at me. "I'm leaving soon Kira, If i am indeed strong enough to take on my brother then there is nothing left for me to learn here." He looked away as he continued speaking. "I wanted to ask you.... If you would join my team. Your strengths would be a big asset to the plans that i have. Would you at least think about it?" I looked over at him sympathetically. "Sasuke you know Orochimaru will not just let you leave. You are his next body. And even if you did leave I don't want to fight Itachi. I considered him a comrade." "No one is asking you to fight my brother. I want no one interfering in that. It is my battle to fight. I also already have my exit planned out. Orochimaru will be notified of my leaving beforehand i promise. I need your help with different battles." "I will promise to think it over if it means that much to you. After all what sort of teacher would i be if i didn't at least consider the requests of my student." H nodded his head and turned around, walking back into the building I had recently led us out of. I continued on toward the edge of the island. walking through the shallow waters. Suddenly i felt yet another energy sap and knew that it was yet again Hidan. I lent him a little extra strength this time, still feeling bad that i had hurt him, then continued my walk around the island. As i finished my lap i felt my Energy levels increase quite a bit more than usual. By that alone i could tell that his sacrifice this time had been a higher ranking ninja. I smiled and sent him a little strength as my thank you, knowing that performing these rituals as often as he has been lately can surely drain your chakra levels by quite a bit. I went inside, walking the corridors toward the kitchen to grab myself a bit of dinner before i went to bed.Things here had begun to get repetitive. I didn't understand  it really. Usually as long as there is pain and suffering then i could be entertained for eons, but i had begun to feel as though there was something missing. As i laid down to bed that night i suddenly got a bad sense of foreboding, as if everything would soon be coming to a close for me.
