Kakuzu kidnapped Ten Ten >:3 (gift for a friend) 

[dozydawn]

Kakuten is a kind of ojime, an ornamental craft product of the Edo era in Japan. Kakuten has also attracted the particular interest of collectors because its material has been believed to consist of the red crown of the Japanese crane. Recently, the texture and composition of the kakuten were investigated under high magnification and by microarea Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and it was clarified that the kakuten is made from the tooth of a grass-eating animal.

In the present study, the species of animal has been identified using analysis of the DNA sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome B gene (CYTB) including the species-specific region. Nucleotide sequence data indicate that the kakuten is very similar to and has a close phylogenetic relationship to a horse; thus, we conclude that kakuten artifacts are fashioned from the teeth of a horse.

I really love your stories that pair Konoha ladies with Akatsuki guys and a friend and I were talking about them, mostly wondering if you would ever do another one because they are so good. But out of curiosity, if you were to do a story of that kind with Tenten, which guy would she somehow get saddled with?

THIS QUESTION IS SO GOOD. Like I’m wringing my hands struggling to type because there are so many interesting OPTIONS. I really like Tenten why haven’t I written about her yet?

Deidara? Birb? Two long-range fighters, endless fight that goes on for days, they both run out of ammo/weaps/clay eventually and try to kill each other by hand which they both incidentally suck at so eventually it just becomes hilarious because she’s trying to strangle him with his own hair and he’s trying to bite her to death so she’s like ok ok ok truce omfg I’m gonna piss myself laughing you are so bad at taijutsu and he’s like excuse me let go of my hair you’re ruining it and have you ever thrown a punch in your life b/c that was actually pathetic like maybe you could hurt a baby and she’s like you punch like a girl so whatevs - wait are you a girl? and he’s like EXCUSE ME U UNARTISTIC LIL BUN-GIRL do u not see my masculine traits and she’s like bun-girl?? which buns, now? and he’s like well both actually both pairs are cute and then… things happen… you know.

OR. or or or.

Kakuzu. Is working for some super wealthy rare items collector dude who has heard that Kakz can obtain anything. There is a weapon that collector-dude wants, that would be the pinnacle of his collection, and he would pay very big bucks to have it. Like Kakz could actually retire on this cash. But the weapon is like, mythical. Hasn’t been seen for a thousand years if it ever even existed. So Kakuzu is like, fuckit this is a bullshit waste of time. BUT THEN. Some months later thru the grapevine he hears about this weapons-girl kunoichi who has some fancy-ass scrolls & can summon super rare mega powerful and incidentally mythical weaps into existence. And he goes to find her. And she’s like lol no I ain’t summoning shit for you. And he’s like I shall convince you, please observe these thread-tentacle things, and be afraid. And she’s like I will never give in I have the WILL OF FIRE and he’s like hmm let me sexily pin u up against a tree with my threads and she’s like ok ok i’ll summon it for you so he lets her go and she takes out a scroll and says PSYCH! *THROW* Here is a shuriken, try not to choke on it u thready asshole and he catches her and then… things happen… you know. 

Thanks for this question I’m kind of hyped omg

for the OTP meme - KakuTen! :D

Who made the first move: Kakuzu. TenTen kinda realizes making the first move runs to risk of scaring him off. But Kakuzu is also a complete loser about it. Like, he'll order a pizza with coupons and watch whatever's free on On Demand and at the end of the night be like "So, second date?" and TenTen is like "What the hell, I didn't know we had a first date!"

Who said ‘I love you’ first: TenTen and she's super casual about it. "Well, I gotta go. I'll be home late, so either cook yourself or order in. I love you, bye!" and Kakuzu just sort mumbles like, "Yeah, yeah, love you too" and then has to sit for a minute and just think over what happened.

How often they fight: Not...very? Kakuzu sort of uses all of his energy dealing with Hidan. They have sort of exasperated arguements some times but one of them is always like "This is stupid and a waste of time, let's watch a movie instead."

Whose big spoon/little spoon: They alternate.

What their nicknames are for each other: TenTen calls him Kuzu occasionally. Also "rich old codger". "Scrooge" when she's particularly mad. He calls her "dear"  sometimes but mostly in the context of "Hey Kakuzu, do x, y, and z for me, please?" "*long put upon sigh* Yes dear." 

Whose the better cook: TenTen. She can make something good even out of the cheap ingredients Kakuzu buys. As long as the fridge is half-decently stalked, she's good.

Their song: "Better Dig Two" - The Band Perry

Who remembers their anniversaries: Both of them. TenTen because, well, it's their anniversary, and Kakuzu because he remembers all occasions where he's expected to spend excessive amounts of money.

Their favorite thing to do together (besides sex): They read together quite often. Kakuzu reads newspapers and journals and non-fiction and TenTen reads mostly fantasy but they'll pile on the couch and TenTen will put either her feet or her head in Kakuzu's lap. They could do it for hours.

Who ‘wears the pants’ in the relationship: Both of them. To varying degrees depending on the situation.

How they would get engaged: Old Man Kakuzu fails at technology and forgets he leaves his tabs open and doesn't clear his history and TenTen sees all the engagement rings he's been looking at and just emails him a link with the subject line "I like this one <3"

What their wedding would be like: Small, intimate. Probably outdoors. Cheap. 

How many kids they’ll have: I really don't see them having any kids, actually.

Send me a ship

Your kakuten drabbles and headcanon: BEST. THING. EVER. I need more of this. Like a million of this. Like, pls.

KakuTen is massively important, anon. Massively.

I'm almost always accepting prompts! It might take a while to get a little thing written but but if there's a certain KakuTen thing you wanna see, I will gladly give it a shot. :)

Something inspired in Hurricane by 30 Seconds to Mars? And you're amazing!!!

No matter how many deaths I die, I will never forget.

(Personal, self indulgent shipper headcanon that TenTen gets bored with how slow business is going at her weapons shot and is determined to resurrect the Akatsuki memembers she never got to spare with. She resurrects Kakuzu, they spare, end up resurrecting Hidan and the trio go around scamming people. TenTen and Kakuzu, after a long laborious uphill slog, manage to fall in love.)

Send me a ship and a prompt!

It wasn't surprising when some other ninja, finally, got the better of Kakuzu. The guy was well into his hundreds technically. Well, if the years before his first death counted. He had been in his early 90s when TenTen has resurrected him.

Now, neither of them were doing so hot. The female couldn't do much in the way of help, her broken arm hanging limply at her side. She had valiantly attempted to keep fighting but she didn't last too long.

For once, it was Hidan to take care of business, not messing with his sacrifices--"Forgive me, Jashin-sama"--and getting the two quickly to safety.

"Don't worry about me, moron, take care of Kakuzu!" TenTen insisted when Hidan moved to make her a splint.

"Don't."

2 pairs of eyes--one brown, one wine red--looked at the man on the ground. Blood was soaking through his layers of clothing. Even if they managed to stop the bleeding, there had clearly been a substantial amount of blood loss.

The other ninja had taken out his masks as well; this was his last heart.

Tears began welling in TenTen's eyes, thought she tried to hold them back. "We can fix you. I've done it once, I'll do it again," she stated with more confidence than she felt. Her hands sought his larger, rougher one and held it closer to her chest.

Kakuzu smiled, a slight quick upward of the corners of his mouth. "It was gonna happen eventually," he mumbled. "'m not...like Hidan."

"Shut the fuck up, asswipe, and let us help!" Hidan protested, voice hoarse. But he made no move. He wouldn't until Kakuzu gave the word.

"Like I said...hell runs on money. I'll be fine," he assured them both, giving TenTen's hand a weak squeeze and meeting Hidan's glare. "You both...Hidan...TenTen..."

And he was gone.

The year was 2014. Kakuzu and Hidan were at the bar they frequented after work. Well, after for Kakuzu--who managed to score a decent desk job at a bank in town--and before for Hidan--who often worked graveyard shifts as a temp security guard. 

They never quite spoke about it, but Kakuzu got the feeling Hidan remember. Whatever it was they had shared together in the pasted. Brief visions and dreams, sometimes nightmares. There was always blood and death but they were together quite often.

And there was another person there.

A person that...actually sorta looked like the girl sitting at the bar, nursing a glass of amber liquid.

Kakuzu stalked over, ignoring Hidan yelling about how Kakuzu can't leave in the middle of their game of pool, you jackass.

The long-haired man slid onto the bar stool next to the girl, waving his hand lazily at the bartender to indicate he wanted a drink.

The girl pointedly turned away from him. She had no interest at being hit on by creeps at the bar, thank you very much.

"TenTen."

Shit. How the hell did he know her name?

She froze briefly but turned--either to tell him off, move, or both--but she saw him and she froze again.

He smiled, a slight quick upward of the corners of his mouth.

"Kakuzu?" It was barely a whisper.

The smile grew by a fraction of an inch. "Did you really think I'd forget?"

[asexualsteverogers]

I think you should write KakuTen based on Hurricane by 30 Seconds to Mars

Yes, it's in the works! I've actually got to listen to the song first.

And I have a paper dude in 6.5 hours so that's first priority.

It'll be done soon, patient anon!
