Really good backstory for Hidan and Kakuzu. I especially liked how you interspersed bits of Kakuzu's past towards the end.

I love this story! I think you did a fantastic job on it!

yays!! I'm going through stories to add to my community... and you won't BELIEVE how many romance stories I went through to get to one of the good ones... thanks. Ahahahaha...

Wow... I love the setting and Kakuzu's thoughts on this... Honestly, the only thing I don't like is that it's a one-shot. You have a very nice way of presenting these characters, creating the setting, explaining the situation, and leaving just enough unsaid to make everything seem real.

Excellent work.

damn that was awesome. Kinda wanted a sequel but then i'd feel spoiled X3

cool

Very nice. I like the whole atmosphere of the story, as well as the subtle, concise way in which you compare Kakuzu's and Hidan's personal going missing-nin stories. I always love the idea that they might have come across each other before they became Akatsuki partners, but your take on Hidan here is especially interesting... that "comical-tragical" approach to him -- the impractical robe, the "pretentious scythe" (as Kakuzu so rightly puts it), the overall awkwardness of his figure mixing with angelical beauty -- is not something you see everyday, but it fits the character perfectly. ^_^ Now it would be great to read your version of Hidan joining the Akatsuki, taking this one shot in consideration. You should totally write that (if you haven't yet :-p).

Ah, this was so good to read! You have a very nice way of writing, good style, I haven't noticed any grammar or spelling mistakes, very imaginative. Though I see some things about their pasts differently, this shot you wrote was absolutely amazing and fits them both really well.

truly amazing.

love the way you did the flashbacks and made hidan seem weaker then he really is.
you've did an pretty amazing job!
