----------------------
. . : RAIN’S FINAL CONNECTION : . .
01 - Motion
Gears were set into motion the very moment sharp metal pierced through Yuni’s chest, drilling swiftly into her body with a movement her eyes could barely trace.
02 - Cool
The Akatsuki loyalist feels the familiar warmth of blood spill over his tightly gripped hands; the invigorating sensation making him reluctant to finally release his grasp on the cold blade.
03 - Young
The young kunoichi glanced up fearfully, seeing nothing but sadistic gratification in her opponent’s eyes as he forced the retractable pike to penetrate through her other side...the painful outcry which followed echoed unheard for miles around; her final scream pure ecstasy to his ears.
04 - Last
As an impromptu battle between a mediocre Leaf-nin and a highly-skilled runaway from Amegakure no Sato, nothing but fate could be blamed for the question of their crossing paths...but when the former loses the battle by a landslide, the latter assumes it would be the last he ever saw of that woman.
05 - Wrong
Nearly three years later, Hidan finds that he is wrong.
06 - Gentle
‘His swiftness...his grace...that undeniable certainty in his eyes...’
During her incapacitated absence, the survivor had developed a somewhat-paranoiac obsession with both her near-death defeat and her newfound rival’s seemingly-infinite strength; their next encounter is anything but gentle as her rage-driven efforts finally find themselves an opportunity for revenge.
07 - One
Hidan curses the fact that his teammate left him alone that afternoon to collect a bounty from the next village over.
08 - Thousand
At first glance, history seems to repeat itself as the Jashinist easily begins to dominate the second engage; yet, he soon discovers that, out of the thousands he’s battled in his abnormally prolonged lifetime, this girl is the only one to uncover the secret of the Reverse Blood Pact so far.
09 - King
With blood from her torn shoulder dripping from the edge of his scythe, and blood from his scratched cheek lining her kunai, the two Shinobi face their respective opponent from a distance, knowing that they have mastered each other.
10 - Learn
Trying her hardest to suppress the scarlet fluid flowing from her mangled arm, Yuni raises her unwaveringly determined gaze to meet his own, daring to ask her adversary for nothing more than to learn from his faith.
11 - Blur
Hidan immediately froze up, lowering his scythe in disbelief when the young woman’s unexpected request reached his ears, the suddenly proposed prospect of fulfilling a minor aspiration taking a moment to come into mental focus.
‘Seriously, how stupid do you think I am, anyway? Where the hell do you get off even asking me for something like that, you fucking heathen? Do you think you even deserve to be Saved after everything you’ve put me through? What are you, fucking crazy or something?’
12 - Wait
Disregarding the blatant rejection, Yuni continues to explain that she revered him for his effortless victory three years ago, and since that day she’s waited, refocusing all of her endeavors to one day search him out and prove herself a worthy opponent in his eyes...yet, even years of training, preparation, and repeated analyzations of their last battle only led to match a physical strength; even if she combined his blood with her own and was granted a temporary power over his immortality, she knows that wouldn’t be able to overcome his spirit, and that continuing this battle would simply be prolonging her inevitable demise.
13 - Change
She says she couldn’t change herself because her life lacked faith, the very passion of absolute conviction Jashin seemed to empower his soul with all these years...she fiercely claims that if he couldn’t help her, he should save them both the time and effort and kill her now, because there was nothing left in her life worth living for.
14 - Command
‘Kid...you seriously have got to be fucking kidding me.’
A sensible air of mistrust fell about Hidan’s wary light red eyes as he mentally weighed his options: on one hand, he could easily just finish off this chick and get her out of his hair forever; but on the other hand, denying an enemies’ request to be Saved went against the very ideologies of his religion...he chooses to remind her that if she does this, she agrees to follow his every command under penalty of immediate death, for there was no turning back once the Conversion was complete.
15 - Hold
The key to their simultaneous destruction is released from her hold as the blood-stained kunai clings to the ground.
16 - Need
The kunoichi gave Hidan a respectful bow when he impassively agreed to host an initiation somewhere, thanking him whole-heartedly as he turned his back and walked away...it was the first time she ever found the need to place the word ‘sama’ at the end of his name.
17 - Vision
Witnessing the Ookamiza cloaked in traditional baptismal robes somehow fills Hidan with an undeniable sense of achievement, an odd aura of pride he couldn’t seem to shake off; the same as a teacher would feel for his student, or a Father to his child.
18 - Attention
Hidan gave his prospective underling his undivided attention as he read from the volumes and blessed her with recited prayers...carefully following his every instruction, Yuni draws her blade and completes the ritual, finally obtaining her mentor’s trust whilst he watches the stark-white garments stain red with her blood.
19 - Soul
Jashinists live out their lives in the belief that their physical state is insignificant, and that the condition of the human soul is the only thing worth protecting; this is why they are expected to brave the masochistic rituals as often as humanly possible...Yuni is amongst the first to see that Hidan’s immortality allows him to push the rituals much further than the norm.
20 - Picture
Somehow, Hidan had pictured his student giving up after suffering the pain of her first ceremony...to his ultimate surprise, she endures each one without any trace of hesitation or regret, ultimately determined to fortify her spirit using the pillars of Jashin Himself.
21 - Fool
When she asks why Jashin-sama needed human tributes, Hidan tells her that it’s their task to save the world from the foolish heathens who reject God’s ideals, and who choose to treasure their physical beings moreso than their own souls...it was all the explaining she needed.
22 - Mad
Hidan isn’t reluctant to voice his displeasure towards the fact that his student chooses not to abandon her village to join him, but he tells her that she must somehow maintain her monthly sacrifices otherwise.
23 - Child
Hokage Tsunade is somewhat impressed by the young Jounin’s sudden interest in assassination missions.
24 - Now
A certain Akatsuki member begins to wonder why his zealot of a teammate now insists on completing his monthly rituals solo...it being a time-consuming burden off his shoulders, he doesn’t bother to give it a second thought.
25 - Shadow
The two Jashinists make sure to choose a different rendezvous point each time for safety; through snow, sleet, sunshine, or rain, she trained and studied under his guidance for a few days each month...from that moment on, she became his shadow.
26 - Goodbye
Whenever they bid their farewells, they jokingly promise not to die on the other before they meet again.
27 - Hide
For security reasons, they were forced to keep their newfound alliance hidden from their comrades.
28 - Fortune
It was simply bad luck that it wasn’t all they decided to keep hidden.
29 - Safe
The irony of the situation was that keeping their secrets safe from each other unknowingly endangered their lives; Yuni never learned of the Akatsuki’s true intentions, and Hidan didn’t discover Yuni’s secret until it was far too late.
30 - Ghost
In the meantime, though, it was far more than a ghost of a chance that their ties grew into more than just a highly-cherished student-teacher relationship...over several months, they learned more about each other through the religious mass-sacrifices and killing sprees, appreciating everything they were and laughing at all the things they ‘should’ have been.
31 - Book
Amongst the intense scripture readings and multiple pilgrimages to sacred ground, Yuni grew to admire Hidan’s passion even moreso than she did at first, and Hidan both respected and treasured his ally’s independent enthusiasm in his work.
32 - Eye
To them, any declaration of ‘love’ unassociated with God was nothing but a loosely-granted phrase; a meaningless term that was thrown around much too carelessly by the world to be taken seriously anymore...still, every time their eyes met, they were filled with the compassion and reassurance that only lovers knew.
33 - Never
But all disciples of Jashin followed a strict vow of chastity, and they took a certain pride in upholding that promise together.
34 - Sing
She hates it with a passion whenever he dares to call her ‘kid’, but whenever she comes back angrily and calls him ‘choir-boy’, he finds it as arguably the most adorable thing in the world.
35 - Sudden
One day, Kakuzu tells Hidan that a Jinchuuriki had suddenly made its presence known, and that it was their job to head towards the outskirts of a remote village and catch up with it later that afternoon.
36 - Stop
Since Hidan was an esteemed member of the Akatsuki Bijuu-hunters, why would he stop to give the mission a second thought?
37 - Time
But time itself seems to freeze as he sees her sitting contemplatively across the field.
38 - Wash
‘No...it couldn’t be...’
All hopes of mistaken identity were washed away when a suspicious Kakuzu continued to remind Hidan that this young woman was the Jinchuuriki they were searching for; they were to bring her back to headquarters for the extraction of the beast, and the disposal of whatever was left behind.
39 - Torn
Hidan found his inner intentions split in two; torn between keeping his loyalties to the grand responsibilities his organization had entrusted him with, and the devotion he had towards his unfailing student, his faithful accomplice, his loyal apprentice...his friend.
40 - History
Personal history aside, the fact remained that she contained a Bijuu, a demon whose power would be extracted and controlled to properly maintain God’s world; serving Jashin came first before anything in this life, and that ideal was something he accepted long before he ever met her.
41 - Power
‘The privilege of sending her to Jashin-sama is in my power, and it belongs to me alone.’
These words didn’t mean as much to Kakuzu as they were intended, but the statement’s utter resolution was somehow enough to convince him to stay behind; the two Akatsuki members may have hated each other, but they held enough of a grudging respect to know when to stay out of the other’s way.
42 - Bother
At risk of objection, Hidan didn’t bother telling Yuni what it was he was after.
43 - God
He only tells her that since Jashin gave her the faith and strength she needed to carry on, her soul was obligated to return the favor, and now was the time to redeem herself...Yuni was truly grateful, yet sorrowed by the fact that, unlike her master, her soul was free to join God at any given time.
‘I wouldn’t rather die any other way than by your hand. It would be an honor...Hidan-sama.’
44 - Wall
There was no hint of an objection when she fell blindly into his embrace, no sense of doubt as her gloved hands clung desperately to the back of his cloak as she braced herself for the final strike...they fell, kneeling humbly to the ground together, Yuni’s inner walls and defenses crumbling as Hidan slowly extracted the weapon from behind him and breathed a final blessing in her ear.
45 - Naked
Hidan wasn’t remorseful towards the fact that he had to kill her, for reaching the Lord’s final embrace was a Jashinist’s highest honor; he was only ashamed of the fact that he was forced to save her bared soul under false pretenses...he didn’t want her to leave this way.
46 - Drive
An inexplicable sense of longing stabbed his heart long before the weapon did...he held her trembling body covetously close to his own, shut his eyes, and drove the heavy pike through the both of them.
47 - Harm
Blood began trailing down the corners of her flickering smile as her final breath carried his name; her last expression of innocent gratitude torturing his guilt-ridden mind for all eternity.
48 - Precious
He doesn’t remember exactly how long he held her precious, lifeless body in his arms...or how long it took before Kakuzu emerged from the sidelines and asked what the hell he thought he was doing.
49 - Hunger
Risking the undeniable imminency of the Akatsuki Leader’s wrath, the lone Jashinist flatly refused to attend the following extraction, as he knew he hungered for nothing more than the opportunity to join her...she was the only one who found the power to destroy him, and he knew that she held the power to save him as well.
50 - Believe
Whenever he looks tenebrously to the Heavens and wonders when his spirit will grace the gates of the Almighty, his mind is racked with the memory of her departed soul, and his heart rises with the belief that she’ll put in a good word for him up there...the deed was finally done; he had sent his angel home.
