probably the last one i'm posting tonight

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was just after your eloping. When your now husband said he wanted to share something with you. You just sat patiently and listened all the while ready to comfort as soo as it was needed.

Kisame:

You had just snuggled in against Kisame's bare chest with tired and heavy lids. Your earlier actions weighing your body down with exhaustion. When you felt something off. You just nuzzled your cheek against his peck assuring yourself that you were imagining things. Until Kisame's hand, wrapped around your waist, tightened briefly.

"(name)," he called softly "you trust me right...?"

your brows creased and you peeked at him. Although from this angle, you couldn't see much other than a clenched jaw and his face turned to the ceiling

"without a doubt" you drew out, confusion easily traceable in your tone

"And...I can trust you with what I want to say right?"

you sat up-er tired to but Kisame's tight grip held you down easily. You did turn in his grasp though and stared at him

"you literally just married me, I would hope that you could."

you could feel the chuckle rumbling behind whatever was bothering him

"unless you're going to tell me you were already married, have kids and have been continuously cheating on me...then you should run now"

again Kisame sputtered out a laugh and although wouldn't look back at you, had a clear smile on his lips

"do you know why I am here?" he asked and for a moment silence dominated the room

"well..." you sighed deeply "you never told me, but I've heard the odd remark. Something to do with killing someone you weren't supposed to"

Kisame shook his head, such a vague idea.

"When I was in the mist, I dealt with individuals who had high security intel for the village. Because of the situation, I killed them to keep the secrets safe. Which i was supposed to do if said situation happened." he took a deep breath

"that doesn't sound that awful..." you mumbled under your breath but reached your handover his body and twinned it with his free one.

His fingers laced with yours right away, and he continued after a moment.

"The man above me, who had given me the orders turned out to be handing out our important information-"

"what an ass!" you shot out suddenly then sheepishly shrunk back into his side with a soft 'sorry, go on...'

although you interrupted, Kisame was good natured about it nodding in agreeance.

"I couldn't stand the deception and manipulation. So I killed him, took Samehada and decided I was leaving." he tilted his face to look at you, although you couldn't see him very well for some reason... "I was asked to join the Akatsuki shortly after. Although there was some other events between, they're much less impactful"

you cuddled in closer squeezing his hand briefly, to get one returned to you

"I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to tell me. I can't say I haven't wondered why you were here...but now that I know..."

"do you want to leave...? I can't blame you if you did. i am-"

you shut that down promptly but sucking on the mark you had previously left on the man's neck. He let out a strangled noise and you easily could feel the bit of embarrassment radiate off him

"I am going no where. Not without you." you scrambled up on top of him and glared into his eyes "you're stuck with me Mr. Hoshigaki. Forever. You're absolutely screwed. Besides" you leaned forward and brushed his hair back "as much as killing people is not good, you did as you were told. From what I know of the shinobi world, you followed the rules. Nobody should hate you for that. The more you share, the more I'm convinced that you don't belong here."

"what...? what gave you that stupid idea...?" he asked with a brow raised

"you are far too good of a person."

he scoffed immediately at you

"i mean it. I feel like people decided to target you because of how they see you. They lumped you in with those who did unsavory things because they thought that about you. Thought about you, not you are. You are, however, sweet, and funny and gentle...and dare I say~ lovable"

"well that's going too far" he teased back with a bright grin "so you aren't going to take off?"

"over my dead body. and even then, I'll just ghostly follow you around. what else am i going to do? I'll be bored and dead"

To this, your groom chuckled and brought you close to him.

"alright, let's go back to cuddling and falling asleep"

Hidan:
The two of you were lazing around in bed, clothes long since missing but lazily forgotten as you two were locked in your hotel room. You were laying on your stomach flicking through tv channels while Hidan laid against you side ways on the bed, his head on top of your back while he seemed to amuse himself with the ceiling.

"hey babe"

"mmm?" you hummed back flicking the channel again

"you never ask me about my past" he pointed out

"you have one?" you joked but with a soft slap to your bare butt cheek you rolled your eyes at him "I honestly felt it might be a touchy subject. So I avoided it. I didn't want to make you uncomfortable"

he seemed to accept that answer, as you felt him nod his head gently. but you could tell there was more to it

"what was it like? if its not painful to talk about?" you knew he wanted you to ask, he just didn't want to be the one to say it.

Hidan, ever the tough boy act.

"well, you see" he chuckled leaning back into your frame with a grin "When i was a kid things were pretty normal, i guess. Bei from a ninja village an all. But this one time I found this fucked up place that stunk so fucking much! Adults called it the valley of hell or whatever. Doesn't matter." he waved it off animatedly "what does matter is i found this crap load of dead bodies!"

"....and that's...good?" you asked turning a bit with a confused look

"well, not reaaaaaaally. Cuz when I went back to the village and told the grown ups, the fuckers thought I did it! Like I know I'm fucking amazing but that was an entire clan. There was no way that I could've done that back then"

you shook your head softly. This was the strangest story you've heard from your groom to date. 

Maybe you shouldn't've asked...

"so then they launched a whole ass investigation!" he snorted with laughter "But they gave up on the idea I killed them all pretty shortly after that. Then the whole village went to fucking crap"

"did some idiot get put in charge?" you asked hearing his dejection

"nah. Fucking tourists kept showing up and ya know. Tourists mean money and yadda, yadda, yadda." he grouched

"was this before or after him?" you asked quietly

"eeh?" the white-haired male looked at you and you easily saw he didn't know what you meant "he the fuck who?"

"jashin"

it was like someone switched a light on in a dark house. His eyes lit up and his lips quickly formed an 'oh'

"Jashin-sama came to me after that" he clarified "and I guess I was just too damn good at my job, cuz Kakuzu, Konan and Sasori practically BEGGED me to join their shitty little parade" he gloated puffing his chest out.

This you easily could tell the embellishment.

"so you killed that many that the nations sent them after you, huh" you mumbled
"that's not what I said...they begged me to join" he repeatedly stubbornly...yet that pout of his pulled over his lips giving away what he was trying to hide.

"I'm sure you gave them a run for their money" you would let the fib go, knowing he wanted you to think he was cooler than he believed himself to be.

"damn right i did!" he beamed sitting up "good thing too, else I wouldn't have found your fine ass" he yanked you over and planted a loud kiss on your cheek.

Deidara:
The two of you were sharing a bath, just lazily soaking up the warmth of the water before you were head to bed. After quite the exciting day and barely being able to pry yourselves off one another...this was much needed. Deidara was in the middle of tying your hair back when he mumbled under his breath

"huh? I'm sorry honey, I didn't hear that" you peeked at him and saw his steady blush

"yo-you're beautiful, you know that right?" he stammered

"so you like to tell me~" you giggled enjoying the compliment "buuuut~ I still think you're prettier"

"hmph" he huffed at the girly term you continued to use for him

"I feel so tired and lazy~" you stretched "totally unfair on your energy level"

"that's because I was a good ninja before i left" he smirked, you could just hear it in his voice

"were you?" you asked questioningly

"do you think id be here if I wasn't?" he asked with a verbal brow raised.

"true, but if you were so good...then you would've stayed home"

"that place wasn't my home. Sure I grew up there but that doesn't count. People there are shit" he grumbled

you turned in the tub to face him

"how?"

Deidara sighed unable to tell you no, you were married now anyways...only for a few hours though. He hoped he'd have a while before he had to explain his past... oh well.

"long story short. They didn't agree with my art, un" he promptly crossed his arms

"well, I could see someone being concerned since it explodes and you are trigger happy" you nodded reaching up and fixing the pin that held his bangs out of his face

"yeah well, I did a lot more than be trigger happy" he said with a sigh "I stole jutsu, I worked against the kage, Fought a lot with the tsuchikage - that crotchety pile of bones...we worked together for a little while though. I was in a division where i got to blow crap up all the time. That was pretty good" he nodded wistfully at the memory

"so then you got kicked out cuz you stole...?" you asked. sounded kinda lame reason to you

"no...!" he grouched defending himself on a dime "I actually...kinda...blew up everyone that came after me and then started working with some people that might not have been all that great" he chuckled rubbing the back of his neck a bit embarrassed

"oh Deidara..." you sighed through your nose

"well I left the village, I wasn't kicked out." he said adamantly "then since i was a missing nin I just worked with whatever nation was willing to let me use my art for whatever reason. I didn't really care" he shrugged softly

"that's..."

"it's not exactly romantic or tragic. Yeah. I figured since were going to be together forever and stuff...that like...I'd let you know, hm. What you bargained for"

he actually seemed a bit unsure of himself with spilling the beans to you
and so, you clung yourself tightly to him. you'd make him forget those insecurities - regardless of how cute he looked right now

"i didn't bargain-" you said against his lips, dragging him into another round "i won top prize~"

Itachi:
"(name), my dear"

you rubbed your eye and cuddled closer to your groom answering him with a soft hum. You were still tired from your consummation and really just wanted to cuddle.

Itachi chuckled softly at your sleepiness and brushed some hair away from your face, kissing your forehead with the softest peck.

"i want to share something with you, would you indulge me?"

you peeked open an eye at him which only made him stifle another chuckle

"do you trust me?" his words felt heavier than they were meant to, you assured yourself.

but you nodded nonetheless.

within a moment, Itachi pulled you close and angled your eyes into him.

the next moment you knew, you were not in the inn bed you two were only just sharing.

"...uhm...where are we?" you asked gently clinging to the uchiha.

He smiled at you kindly and gently pulled you in step with him.

"this is a genjutsu, i wanted to show you my home. What it used to look like" he words were weighty, yet his tone was light as he showed you around and told you what everything was.

He showed you around the entirety of the section of the hidden leaf that was set aside for just the uchiha. You were impressed and had a nagging feeling that there was more to this.

"I brought you into a genjutsu because what I want to share not only no longer exists...but has to be kept secret. This is for the sake of the hidden leaf as well as for Sasuke." he explained softly as 

the two of you sat on the walkway into his family's garden.

"are you sure you want to tell me? what if someone uses me against you and they find out?" you asked nervously

"while that is a possibility, its a rather slim one. I'll place a safety measure with you if you wan-"

"yes." you rushed out surprising your now husband.

Itachi stared at you with widened eyes for a moment, taking in the quick and serious way you made the decision. But only for a moment before his gaze melted before you.

"...alright. I'll do that before we leave here." he promised in a hushed tone. "with that assurance, will you listen to me?"

you smiled and nodded

Itachi told you, most likely, everything. The slight favouritism in his family, how much he adored his brother, his best friend Shisui, how they used to all be happy together, the coup, the decision he was forced to make, the unhappy events that lead to it - including Shisui's death, the entirety of the slaughter, his performance for Sasuke, how he cried for his brother and then how he steeled himself away.

and then he told you even more...

"-i entered the akatsuki, first I was set up with Orochimaru...but after that did not turn so well in his favour, Kisame was made my partner-"

"and you two became best friends~" you smiled with a teasing tone

"as close as i could have one in how my life is, yes i suppose so" he relented

"Itachi...?"

"yes, my love?" he asked grabbing your hand softly "if there...is anything there that is too much. Let me know. I will respect your decision on whatever you feel and choose"

you scoffed at him and gave him a smack to the shoulder

"I wasn't breaking up with you, dummy" you rolled your eyes but then squeezed his hand that held your other captive "I wanted to ask you...don't you ever want to tell Sasuke the truth? even just part of it? that way you can be together again...?"

Itachi's sad eyes answered you long before the words came from his lips

"yes, but I kn-"

you cut him off with a sudden and rough hug. Pressing all your weight into him for max comforting and with a smile Itachi just cuddled right into it.

"it seems you already understood what I wanted to say" he cooed gently as your face peeked up out of his chest at him

"then let's make it happen. I know you'll be so much happier. I want you to be happy. so happy its a crime!"

he didn't respond right away, taken off guard by the tears beading in your lashes and by the sheer amount of absolute love you had for him. Not that he doubted your love, but as thought he had just realized he had only seen the tip of the iceburg and this reaction had shown him a glimpse of what could be awaiting him.

"...only if that makes you happy"

Kakuzu:
It was very early morning when Kakuzu roused you from your sleep. Your hair rubbing against your bare skin, his calloused fingertips softly digging into your shoulder as he shook you...you grumbled and clung to your elderly groom.

"nnnnnnnnot yeeetttt....sleeppyyyyy" you moaned out snuggling right into him

"I want to talk" he rumbled out sounding just as tired, if not more

you could feel your ears pricking at the sound of his voice and hummed in response

"you awake enough to remember?"

"I'm surprised you can remember, with being damn near at dementia's door" you countered a bit bitterly wanting to sleep "I'm sore, lemme sleep"

instead of a harsh response you got a tsk and pulled closer.

an odd move considering just who your groom was...

you peeked open an eye at him sensing his need to talk and with doing so noticed he seemed to have not slept yet.

"its keeping you up huh..."

he groaned, unhappy you figured it out but looked down at you, shoving his hair out of his way and flopping it over the top of the pillow

"I'll be brief"

you sighed through your nose and silently agreed to his condition with a nod. he returned a curt one in agreement before he began to speak.

"do you know how old i am?"

"that's bothering you?" you grumped "sorry, continue" you added seeing his glance

Kakuzu continued softly.

"so old that the catalyst for this life I have now, sprouted from a mission to murder The first Hokage. Hashirama Senju"

you nodded along but blinked at the old name. You knew a bit about the different village leaders but nothing more than surface level. with said knowledge however, you knew he was one of the founders of the leaf.

"hol' up. what...?"

Kakuzu chuckled deeply at your surprise

"yes, that old." he responded with a smile "my assassination did not go to plan, however, and instead I was ostracized for my failure. I was also imprisoned, and...punished." he paused for only a moment having seemed to want to censor the treatment for your sake. 

and in that moment you clung tighter. hands wrapping around his naked middle underneath the sheets hoping to give some semblance of comfort.

he continued whether it helped or not.

"-i broke out, of course, but decided to give the elders a taste of their medicine before I formally defected. After that, my life wasn't terribly different than it is now. I had no organization but I still did my bounty work. I was a little more free with selecting hearts to keep though..." he mused in his last words thoughtfully

"oh" was all you could really respond with

"does...it repulse you?" he asked cautiously

"I mean, kinda...? but I mean, I already knew you ripped hearts out. Mines off limits though. I forbid." you added quickly "but...."

"but...?" he urged you to continue

"but I don't feel differently. I still love you. I'm still happy we're married - even if it's only been hours. I'm sorry you had such an awful time in your village..."

your newly made husband sighed heavily before pulling you in close and kissing the top of your head

"well, maybe we can pretend it was something like those silly shows you watch. maybe fate or something. And I suffered so i could live all this time to find you"

"wait what..." you grinned at the sappy words

"nothing, get off me - you're suffocating me. gods you're such an annoying brat!" he immediately went into defence mode

"ahwwww~ that was so corny and sappy~" you cooed as he rolled away from you and hid under the blankets. no doubt hiding his blush with him "ahwwww 'kuzuuuuu~"

"don't call me that! go to bed!" he snapped

meanwhile all you could do is giggle and cuddle right up behind him.

Sasori:
Sasori had taken you on a small trip. It was a small inn within the land of wind. Somewhere relatively close to the border but also far in enough to get a similar feel as to the sand village. He had told you he wanted to spend a 'wedding night' with you somewhere that was like his hometown. Someplace he wanted you to get an idea of where he came from.
You had no complaints. Anywhere Sasori wanted, as long as he was safe and happy you...you could not care less. You had Sasori with you, what else did you need?

After settling and spending some time using your inn room for its intended purpose...

"may I...share something with you?"

you turned from the sink, toothbrush in your mouth and one hand pulling your pj shorts up. you blinked at your still naked groom with a blush but nodded and garbling out around the tooth brushing an affirmative.

He waited for you to spit and rinse, finishing up your nighttime tooth brushing before he herded you to the edge of the bed.

"is there something wrong? is it not safe anymore?" you asked concerned and peeking towards the door

your redhead shook his head softly and with a gentle smile began to explain.

"I just...wanted to tell you about my past. I am very grateful you have let me keep it a mystery up until now. It's not particularly something I care to speak about, it's not really exciting by any means. but as my wife, I feel i owe you an explanation"

you turned on the bed and sat criss cross apple sauce, hands leaning on your ankles as you listened intently. eager to find out this info.

"-h" sasori just stopped himself from laughing at you and instead let out a soft snicker "I'm glad you want to know. Where to start...I suppose I could explain why I like puppets..."

"you told me your grandma taught you, once" you chimed in with a grin

"yes, granny taught me everything about puppets, before i took the torch of researching and figuring them out further instead." he smiled "she took care of me after my parents died in the war"

"I'm sorry" you said before he could continue

"no need." he sighed "I eventually made myself stand ins for them. And they helped with dealing with their passing, but they were not my parents. I continued making more puppets, each one more intricate then the last...but i eventually found the true way to craft good proper puppets."

you hummed softly grabbing a pillow to cuddle

"peoples"

"peoples" Sasori confirmed with a nod and a smile at your childish words "starting with a friend and ending with, well, you saw the latest one the other day by accident." he rubbed the back of his neck "I forgot to clean that one up better before you returned with Tobi from the village nearby..."

"yeah, that was uber gross" you pouted with a slight shudder

"I promise to be more cautious. I realize, while it works for me...that not everyone is as well equipped with the gore"

"nope, were not" you said popping your 'p'

your groom sighed softly with a shake of his head and a smile on his lips.

"regardless...I later left the hidden sand, why doesn't really matter anymore, and after some time...konan beat me in a duel. I lost, so I had to join this merry band" he said with a bit if sass

"konan beat you...?" you blinked

"she is quite strong, I would suggest you stop stealing her chocolates..." he warned gently "she might turn her rage at you"

"....nahhhhhh, konan loves me~" you gloated like a fat cat that was spoiled by their master

Sasori only chuckled at your Cheshire grin

"that, is what I wished to tell you...of course if you have anything you wish to as-"

"so when did you decide making yourself a puppet was a good idea...?" you asked cutting him off

you could see the slight twitch in his left eye in annoyance at your lack of manners

"yes, well...I believe questions are over with..." he smiled sitting up and going to his side of your designated bed

"wha-sasori...! you said I could ask....!" you gaped at him scrambling across the bed "i wanna knooooooowwwwww" you whined hanging off him as he somehow managed to sit on the bed

"it was before I joined, let's leave it like that" he mumbled under his breath

"but whyyyyyy~ telllll meeeeee~" you complained like a bratty child

sasori huffed and shoved you into the mattress

"don't worry about that, it was quite the messy business and I know it will give you nightmares. so be a good bride as shoosh."

you pouted but flung yourself about the bed in a whiny small tantrum before laying like a starfish.

Your puppet newly wed husband rumbled with soft laughter as he crawled into bed above you and kissed your nose

"how about I give you something else to think about...~ hm...~? my beautiful....blushing....bride...~?" he asked in such a hushed yet low tone, his finger trailing up the side of your cheek and with it your blush following

"uh...y-yeah...o-okay~" you stammered out as his lips descended upon your own

Tobi:

(this one is short because I feel that Tobi wouldn't tell you as much since it could potentially jeopardize his plans)

It was about a week after you and Tobi had eloped, things hadn't changed much at all for you all in all. But tonight, Tobi had you both go out for a small trip to a hot spring not too far away from the hideout.

You enjoyed your evening and it wasn't until you were cuddled up in the futon that had been set up for you two when he had slipped into speaking with his deeper tone.

"have you fallen asleep yet...?" he asked quietly

You could feel him leaning over to peek at your face.

"I'm still awake" you yawned

You could see in the very little moonlight escaping into the room the outline of Tobi's face, his mask must have been set aside for this night.

"Do you remember me telling you before about that person that was important to me...?"

You nodded

"you said that when you proposed" you confirmed

"I did," he hummed with a sigh before continuing "I wanted to explain that a bit...since we're husband and wife"

"alright, I'm all ears" you grinned

Feeling a hand find your own then squeeze it softly you were made aware of his own happiness at your reaction.

"a long time ago, when I still belonged to a village and was a genin, I was in a team. You know, like most genin are in" he began "and with my sensei, I had 2 others in my group whom were very important to me."

"I've heard that some villages have very close team relations" you mused

"yes, my team...didn't always get along, but at the end of the day we all cared for each other. But I fought at lot with the other boy in my team. In the end I put us in precarious situations in quite a few missions. One time, I got hurt...and I wasn't able to be with my team anymore."

"I'm sorry, you don't have to continue if its too difficult" you murmured gently

"...let's just say that I had my teammate promise me something...and in the end they couldn't keep it. Everything was ruined." He sounded like he was gritting his teeth

"its alright Tobi" you said trying to comfort him tugging him close and pressing your forehead to his with your eyes closed.

Even if it was hard to see him, you wanted to give him the privacy he seemed to need so desperately.

"you're far too kind to me...you don't even know what you're comforting" he whispered before cuddling into you.

As you settled into the futon you couldn't help but hear his words echo in your mind. They didn't sit well...

Zetsu:

(Okay so considering Zetsu's situation, I seriously don't think he would actually tell you anything. 

First, this is because it severely would put him at a disadvantage in his plan. 

Secondly, because it wouldn't really help nor hinder your relationship. 

And third, he honestly doesn't seem to be someone that would be hung up on that. 

So sorry for the Zetsu lovers)
