Chapter 21: Roommates
Third person pov
"Listen up brat, we're roommates now , which means you're obligated to tell me when ghosts are peeking in on us. I don't want those fucks spying on me anymore than they already have." Hidan explained. "Also, we're going to get you some new damn clothes. Those aren't cutting it. You're still pathetic."
Hollow nodded hesitantly in understand, looking around the room they shared. It wasn't large, but neither of them had much. Especially Hollow. She had a lamp and three very nice light bulbs that Konan had gifted her, and the clothing she'd been given. Other than that there wasn't much else she could call her own. Her bed was hers, and so was the dresser, but those things didn't count all that much Hidan said.
"And we're decorating this place. Together. You need to get yourself a damn personality or something. You're like a skittles bag that's trying and failing to be edgy or some shit like that." Hidan explained as they walked out of the room. Hollow wondered if they would be getting her shoes. It is not that she needed shoes all that much! She would be find without them, but she did not want anymore glass in her feet. She did not like glass.
"We need matching outfits. People are afraid of me, and if you look like me, they'll assume you're a mini me no matter how the hell you hold yourself." Hidan said as they walked for the hideout's exit. Itachi's eyes followed them as they walked towards the door. Hidan was rambling on, and Hollow trailed after him like a lost puppy, looking at him in slight awe. Itachi sighed through his nose. Hidan wasn't the best role model for a girl who was supposed to change the world.
"H-Hidan-san-" Hollow was cut off.
"Just Hidan, brat. What the fuck is it? Speak your mind." Hidan corrected her before falling silently, offering her a chance to speak. She swallowed heavily, her eyes trailing down to her feet. Hidan followed her gaze, pursing his lips. That was right. This kid had nothing but the clothes on her back. Even her self-esteem had been left somewhere, along with her self-confidence and ability to be a badass.
"Alright, I see." Hidan picked her up. "So Hollow, what the fuck do you thing should go in our room."
Hollow hesitated, gazing up at Hidan as though asking for permission to speak. The man had formed sort of a hammock or chair, his hands intertwining so Hollow could sit on his arms. She was just so small and easy to carry around, Hidan couldn't help it. This was also better than piggy backing, especially in the woods.
"A-A... M-Maybe a ca-carpet?" Hollow suppressed her urge to tell him that it was alright if he did not want one and if he thought it was a terrible idea. She was quickly coming to learn what he liked and what he didn't like, and what she was and wasn't supposed to do in order to become a badass. That was the ultimate goal, it seemed. After all, she was meant to save the world.
"Wonderful fucking idea. Then I can get rid of my ugly ass slippers. Good idea, kid. I didn't think of that shit." Hidan praised vulgarly. Hollow lit up, her eyes shining. She had said something right! This was a good thing, right? It had to be, because Hidan had not corrected her! He had... agreed. This was a good thing.
"What else?" Hidan question, stepping over a branch. They'd be in the closest town in a few minutes or so. He wanted to get Hollow to open up more, at least to him. With her mindset and personality, there was no way she was doing shit for this world. She was afraid to suggest adding a carpet to her bedroom.
"T-The... T-The walls a-are... b-bare, I b-believe y-you call i-it." Hollow murmured. Hidan nodded. She was right. The cracked concrete walls were going to get boring to look at eventually, at least for her. Hidan was probably going to be around a lot more too now that Hollow was around. Leader-sama had put him in charge of her, probably because he was one of the least important members, but also the only one he could trust. Sasori was their spy, Deidara was an idiot and everyone else was hella badass. Of course, Hidan was super badass too, but he wasn't the most important for jobs and such. He was just... there.
"So we need some decoration shit. And some storage for all the cool shit I'm going to buy your ass." Hidan grinned as the town came into view. "But lets start with clothes. You look like a fucking muppet in those."
