A/N: This is a Fanfic of Kakuzu before he obtained the hearts of the elders, and what turned him into the greedy, miserly man he is today.
Please, R&R so I know whether to go on, or whether I'm just wasting my time.

RATED M. If you are young, and you know you shouldn't be reading this, DON'T READ IT.

Kakuzu groaned. It was day three of their excursion to claim the bounty on one Tensei Omaeda, and Hidan STILL wouldn't be quiet. He listened to the Jashinist go on and on with his complaining.

"And the ****er had the gall to try and pick pocket ME!" He exclaimed, pointing at himself. "I mean, who the hell wouldn't be scared of me? I carry a ****ing scythe around, damnit." He grumbled.

"When are we getting to the next town? I'm ****ing starving, and that bullshit instant ramen isn't cutting it. I need real food, not some ***** food." he said, crossing his arms.

"Shut. Up." Kakuzu said, pinching the bridge of his nose. His head was starting to throb, and it's all because the foul-mouthed man behind him wouldn't be quiet. "If you were quiet, the journey would be a lot easier for both of us." He added, lowering his hand.

"But you still didn't answer my damn question." He said grumpily. Kakuzu turned around all of a sudden, grabbing for Hidan's throat. Hidan, luckily, figured Kakuzu would attack, so had pulled his scythe out, putting it between the two; these actions caused Kakuzu to have Hidan's scythe in his hand, but at the same time Hidan could swing it upwards, cutting through him; this ended in a deadlock for both of them.

"One more word, and I'll be adding YOUR heart to my collection." Kakuzu warned dangerously. Hidan merely smirked, pulling his scythe back, putting it on his back. The smirk instantly reminded Kakuzu of something, or someone in particular. Someone he hated with a passion: Kyosuke Nanbu. His anger getting the best of him, Kakuzu pulled back his fist, and punched Hidan in the face, sending the Jashinist flying backwards. While Hidan attempted to get up, Kakuzu was standing over him, his arms pointed towards the Jashinist as the threads came from his arms, about to impale him.

"What the **** was that?!" Hidan shouted, holding his now-bleeding nose. Kakuzu shook his head, the image of Kyosuke leaving his face.

"I mistook you for a moment." he said, turning and glaring off into the distance.

"Who the **** would make you that angry that you would punch me?" Hidan asked angrily, curiosity getting the better of him. After all, not many besides Konan and the Leader knew about Kakuzu's past; or any of theirs for that matter. Plus, it would make the trek go a lot faster.

Kakuzu sighed in defeat. Since obviously the Jashinist and himself were stuck together for a while, he might as well tell Hidan some of his past. Who knows? Maybe Hidan will learn to shut up. But that was unlikely.

"Kyosuke Nanbu. He was a man from Takigakure when I was a special Jounin." Kakuzu said. Hidan raised a brow, before asking,

"Well, what the **** did he do? You're short-tempered, but you've never actually punched me in the ****ing face before." Hidan cried, still holding his nose. Kakuzu looked at Hidan irritated, but even Hidan could see Kakuzu's past was painful.

"He...raped someone I knew." He said. Hidan could even hear the pain in Kakuzu's usually angry voice. Was his past that bad?

"When I was eighteen, I was betrothed to a woman...He raped her." he said, thinking back to the days of when he was young, and had his fiancee.

Kakuzu heard a rustle and a scream, dropping the herbs he had gathered to run to see what it was. He stepped into a clearing, seeing a familiar white-haired man: Kyosuke. Kyosuke turned, hearing something. He saw Kakuzu, and flashed him a smirk, red eyes seeming all the more menacing. Like Hidan, Kyosuke's hair was pushed back, except for two strands of bang that hung down around his eyes.

"I'm done. Hope your honeymoon goes well." Kyosuke said, grinning. He got off of the now-unconscious woman beneath him: Kakuzu's wife-to-be, Erica. Blood lay pooled around her legs, showing that this was her first time, and Kyosuke had probably ripped her open from her rejection of him. Kakuzu cried out, with a snarl so animalistic that it even made birds flew from their nests, temporarily leaving their young.

Kakuzu charged forward, performing handsigns. When he finished, the needle and thread that had been in his pocket charged towards Kyosuke, who in-turn laughed and ran. Seeing Kyosuke gone, Kakuzu ran to Erica.

"Erica, are you okay?" he asked, tapping her face lightly to awaken her.

"K-Kakuzu...?" She said softly, fresh tears threatening to spill over. "I'm so sorry..." She said.

"Shh...it's not your fault." he said, bending lower to pick her up. "We'll go home, and then I'll tell the elder's. He'll be thrown into prison. I'll tell them before I leave." He said, resolve firmed. Little did he know, the Elders already knew, and weren't taking any action against it. They planned on getting rid of Kakuzu anyway, seeing that he was getting too powerful. Right after he assassinated the first Hokage, Hasirama Senju, they would kill him.

Kakuzu snapped out of his reverie, hearing Hidan speak.

"What was that?" He asked, his voice coming out more ragged and rough than he had intended.

"I said, what the **** happened? Did you kill him? Did she die? What?" Hidan asked. Kakuzu held in a insult he was going to throw Hidan's way, so instead deciding to tell him.

"She died later. From something else. I'll tell you the rest tomorrow. We're here." Kakuzu said, gesturing towards the town. Hidan seemed to be thinking, before muttering.

"What was that? I can't hear you if you mumble." Kakuzu growled. Hidan sighed angrily, before yelling,

"You were ****ing right! That god damn story made it seem to go by faster. Now are you going to finish the damn thing tomorrow? Or just wait until we're traveling again, damnit?!" He shouted. Kakuzu groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"WELL, since tomorrow we ARE traveling again, I'd have to say you'll be able to hear the rest tomorrow." He said angrily, before pulling out his wallet. Kakuzu counted the money, sighing. He would have to get the cheapest food they could get at the time. Not that he would have gotten anything better, it was just now they needed to save money more than before.

"Let's go." He growled, leading the way to the nearest restaurant. After they ate, they went to an inn and slept for the night, Kakuzu's troubling past keeping him awake for most of it.
