The only thing Sir Leader told him about his new partner was that he was, "a high priest of Jashin", so he had no idea what to expect...tell me if you want pairings, might do slight Saso/Dei and Hida/Kuzu...MIGHT!!!

Uh, yeah, Hidan rules, all of Akatsuki rules, and they need more fan fictions!!!!!!!!!!!! So, write more about them please...T-T I'm begging you! Hidan & Kakuzu ... there is so little fiction about them!!!!!! So, that is partly why I'm writing this...the other part is cuz I'm bored & REALLY want to write about them Um, oh yeah! Uh, tell me what pairings you'd like...I might do Saso/Dei, and maybe Hida/Kuzu...tell me, k?

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, would I really waste my time on a sight for "Fan Fiction?

"The Priest"
Ch.1: through rain, sleet, or snow.

Rain pounded down upon the three lone travelers. It thundered violently, lightning piercing the sky.
"Great! Just great!" a loud voice called out in frustration. It belonged to one of the travelers.
"Oi, just calm down, Kakuzu." suggested another, trying to calm his rising temper.
" ...", there was a moments silence before the angry man answered, " Fine..." he ground out, obviously trying to contain his temper. " Let's at least try and find somewhere where we can wait out this storm..." As Kakuzu headed off through the dreary town, the other two followed, glad he had not lost his temper.

The trio continued to walk through the storm. The ground was very wet, and the thunder could be heard from a mile away. Kakuzu didn't like loud, he never talked much, and, really the only ones in Akatsuki that did were Tobi and Deidara. Well, I could have been sent with them on this mission...thank god Leader sent Itachi and Kisame instead... He thought to himself as they continued to slosh through the muddy walk way of the Hidden Rain village.

"Huh, well, I guess they didn't name this village after the rain for nothing! Heheh..." spoke the one who had recently tried to calm Kakuzu's temper.
"...Kisame..." spoke the third traveler who, up until now, hadn't spoken most of the trip, he rarely ever did.
"Yeah, Itachi-san"
"...that's not funny"
"...oh...yeah...eheheh." Kisame replied, a bit hurt. After all, he was only trying to lighten up the mood! It was more grim than the day Sir Leader made all Akatsuki sit through a presentation on "Classic World Domination"...Kisame shuddered at the thought of ever having to watch another educational video again.

Kakuzu was slightly ahead of the two, eager to get out of the storm. Today just wasn't his day. He had just recently killed off his sixth partner, but it was really no big deal, the other s had come to expect it from him. He killed every partner he ever had. However, Sir Leader had had it with his violent temper and sent him to find his new, seventh, partner. It would have been a bit better going if he had more information on him, but the only thing Sir Leader told him about his new partner was that he was, "a high priest of Jashin", so he had no idea what to expect, or how to find him. One thing's for sure, he thought, there's no way I'm going around every church in this place asking if one of the high priests want to join a an evil gang of criminals! What was Sir Leader thinking?!

" Kakuzu!" the sudden cry braking his train of thought, Kakuzu turned looked up, seeing Kisame pointing at something. He followed the man's gaze and found himself looking at exactly what he had been looking for. Shelter. Finally, they could get out of this bothersome rain! On top of that, it seemed to be a church of some sort, if his luck really was turning around, he may find his partner.

The three rushed over to the church, thankful that they wouldn't have to stand out in the storm any longer. When they reached it, they were a bit surprised to see that the front doors had not been locked. Surprised, but glad. They entered with caution, not knowing what might happen. Man, with their luck so far, they might have been attacked by a rabid monk for all they knew! Fortunately for them, no rapid monks.

Kakuzu stepped in first, and once he signaled the "all's clear", Itachi and Kisame followed. The inside was not like a normal church, how they were all white and had colorful stained-glass windows as tall as the wall it self. No, this one seemed rather dark, of course, there was a storm out side, probably not the cheeriest of times.
"Well, this sure is a pleasant place." Kisame said as he looked around. The others did the same, and once the were sure a welcoming committee wouldn't come, decided to wonder around.

Kakuzu, Itachi, and Kisame walked down a long hall way. There were no pictures, but candles burned throughout the whole walk way. They emitted a soft, yet somewhat eerie glow. The place was painted mostly dark red, with some white and black here and there.

"Heh. I can see why no one's here, who'd want to be in the middle of a storm. Just make's it look even creepier." Kisame mumbled through his usual smile.

"...hm." Itachi replied.

They continued to walk at their own leisure until they entered a rather large room. It must have been where everybody met to hear people preach and what not, because it was the most elaborate room in the building so far. Tall candle stands held their burning burden silently, while the vibrant red curtains held the soft glow the gave off. Their was a large glass window on the wall in front of them. It framed the lightning outside and gave an ominous presences through the room.

"Man, feel's like we walked into some old horror movie."

" ...I've seen worse..."

" Yeah, like Orochimaru in a dress." Kisame teased.

"Stop fooling around." Kakuzu stated. " This place gives me an odd feeling..." He trailed off.

" What's wrong?" joked the "comedian" of the group, " You scared, Kakuzu?"

" No. It's just-"

" Are interested in converting? Or should I save you trouble and just kill you now?"

The group whirled around to see a man standing in the candle light. He was tall, his silver hair slicked back, showing off his intense purple eyes. He wore the robes of a priest and had a rosary hanging on his bare chest. His eyes seemed to catch the light of the candles, making them even more ominous. He had a taunting smirk on his face that seemed to say, Go ahead, defy me! I dare you! Kakuzu was uneasy with having to deal with man right now, he really didn't feel in the mood to fight. This is bad...he thought, eyes fixated on what the man would do next.

"Well?" the priest inquired perilously.

Ch.2: Preaching Violence

" Huh, so you losers got caught in the storm?" the man said, looking upset.

" Why so upset? It's no big deal." Kisame said.

" Oh, I could less about you fs , I'm just upset 'cuz I couldn't possibly sacrifice someone so pathetic..."he stated quite bluntly.
