Author's note: This is basically the end of chapter two. The italics are small excerpts from a song called Ravine and was used as effect for this particular piece.
Chapter Two - Interlude - A piece of the Sky
Why do you, why do you ask?
Why I’m not blaming my god?
I tell you, I’ll tell you what,
He was the only one there…
That’s it.
My heart. Maybe My heart can…
There was no more thought needed. Hidan knew what he had to do. Placing Kakuzu gently on the ground He began chanting a prayer, over and over, concentrating on nothing but the task at hand. To properly do this he needed to be completely focused. Removing the Rosary from Kakuzu he placed it about his own neck. It was still warm from Kakuzu’s body and his concentration wavered for just a moment before he returned to his prayers, reaching for the nearest weapon on the ground. A kunai, from one of the dead assailants. It wasn’t as sharp as a sword but it would do. He reached out to Kakuzu, grabbing a few of the stray tendons and pulling them gently out of his body, noticing they were still showing some signs of movement and that was promising.
”This is all I can give you Kakuzu.”
He readied the blade, remembering what his teacher had told him.
"In being immortal Hidan, To offer a piece of your body is to offer yourself to that person. There will be no returning, and you will be enchained to that person forever. Once your blood has flowed through their veins you will be unable to break from them. You will be bound body and soul. You will never be able to turn your back on them and you will never be able to abandon them, even if it means sacrificing yourself. Any part of an immortal’s body, right down to the blood is not to be given lightly. Even if they reject you, you will be heartbound to them forever."
Once again I see a piece of the sky…
And my joy never will be denied,
‘Cause I Was meant to be here, the only place on Earth,
Where you are near…
"You must be certain."
Hidan looked down at Kakuzu once more and he was sure.
"I have never been more certain master. I have never been this confident in what I am doing. This is right. This is my way of repaying him for everything he has done for me. And if he refuses my gift that is fine as well, all I can do is try. I need him to live. It’s the reason I’m here now."
He’s my reason...
With a final chant and a sharp intake of breath he plunged the blade into his own chest, slicing open the flesh though to the bones of his ribcage. He winced, the pain in his chest more intense than the usual battle-wounds. Dropping the blade and reaching into the wound he drew another breath and pushed his hand through the wound and past the bones of his ribcage, hearing one of them snap with a dull click.
"I am certain. This is my decision." He whispered
The only place where you are near…
He wrapped his hand around the strongly beating heart, feeling its strength pulsing through his fingers. This would be the only chance he had. He had to do this right. He made a silent prayer to the sky and with a sharp pull he detached the organ, pulling it back through the opening of his chest, as a warm rush of blood poured from the new wound. The body shock made him sick and he had to do his best not to scream. The pain he was feeling now, was worse than anything he had ever felt before. Worse than being torn apart, worse than being burned alive. It blinded him and made him feel weak, but he had to push forward. He had to save Kakuzu. He concentrated, forcing his vision to clear and willing the pain to subside for a moment as he gingerly reached down, placing his heart on the tendons that lay close to Kakuzu’s limp body. Manually he closed the little black threads around the heart, easing it back into Kakuzu’s chest cavity, hoping the extensions had enough strength to revive him. The very thought of failure made Hidan’s eyes well up with fresh tears, tracking down his cheeks and blurring his already failing sight.
“This is all I can give you. Please let it be enough. What I have given you is more precious than anything I own, or anything I will ever have. This gift is my dedication…my promise to you…It is all I can give, and everything I wish I could tell you…”
He would not be able to tell if it worked. Another wave of pain washed over him, bringing him to his side on the ground by Kakuzu, his face just a few inches from the man’s cheek. The pain was clouding his vision again and the loss of blood was causing him to lose his battle with sleep. He reached out, his arm moving just a few inches before he lost all consciousness, his hand falling to lie across Kakuzu’s outstretched hand, their fingers lacing together.
My apologies Kakuzu-kun…
I have learned…
I have learned,
The most horrifying nights have an end.
I was hurt, I was lost
In the dark I found the way to a friend…
