"Hello there, old friend." An albino patted the top of a dusty grand piano. The thing was absolutely beautiful. It was large, shiny, and black. It gave off a fancy feeling, gothic really. The cobwebs and dust just added to the emotion. Hidan sat on the piano seat, what a full-filling sensation for him. He smiles in ecstacy and then looks around nervously. "Good, no-one around. Just you and me." The masochist patted the top of the large, dusty instrument; causing some of the dust particles to drift off, "Like fairies." Hidan said contentivley. He pulled out a few sheets of paper from his Akatsuki cloak and set them on the piano, where the music sheets are usually set. A large exhale of air from the sitting albino. "Man, I can't beleive me, of all people, wrote this." Another exhale then a small, but settle, inhale. "Here goes." He then profesionally started to press the keys of the piano, each in perfect tune with the previous and the next. Then he sang.

"We're driving slow through the snow on 5th Avenue,
And right now radio's all that we can hear ,
Now we ain't talk since we left, it's so over due
It's cold outside but between us it's worse in here."

Hidan shuts his eyes slowly and a small, sweet smile plays onto his lips. A smile as beautiful as the music being played. All there was in his world right now was him and his grand piano, he wouldn't care if even Pein walked in suddenly (ohkay, so maybe he would just a little.) He was happy right now and he hasn't been that for a while. Another part of the song came gracefully out of his mouth.

"The world slows down,
But my heart beats fast right now ,
I know this is the part
Where the end starts."

Another smile, this one of disbeleif. Jashin, I feel like a girl. He chuckles and listens to the music he was making with his steady, white fingers. He smirked when he noticed how amazing he really was at the large instrument, he was always told he was a failure; at the piano, at school, at life, at everything. A longer section of the song slipped out of his lips.

"I can't take it any longer,
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger,
Slipping through my fingers ,
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you."

Hidan's smile fell to a small frown. He looked up from the piano, fingers still playing the music. Damn, I wish I didn't relate to this song so much. A chuckle. It feels like I'm reading my dreams. He turns his white-haired head back to the papers and sings.

"I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here."

Just then Kakuzu, Hidan's partner, had walked into the room. Hidan had stopped singing before he came in but he was still playing the beauty of an instrument; Unaware of his partner's presence. Kakuzu watched in awe at his partner's hidden talent, or at least the talent hidden from him. He was even more amazed when the pianist opened his mouth.

"Everyday, 7 takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine,
Gotta talk to you now 'fore we go to sleep
But how will I sleep if I don't I tell you what's hurting me."

Kakuzu's mouth fell open, Hidan's voice was mesmorizing. Yes, he quite liked it when he talked before but this was absolutely breath taking. Kakuzu was still in the doorway watching the smaller man quietly. Itachi walked past the open door and peered inside. Kakuzu looked over and took a step sideways so the teen could watch. Itachi couldn't help but gasp at the sight and held his breath in when he heard the pianist sing.

"The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part,
Where the end starts."

Kakuzu felt himself melt when he saw the smile that creeped upon his partner's lips. Posotivley amazing. The miser thought. "What's the-" The blue man who just walked by stopping by the doorway was silenced by a hand upon his mouth. He then whisperred in the Uchiha's ear. "What's the noise?" "Watch." Itachi replied, his breath tickling the sharks ear. He did as told and was in shock at what he saw. His mouth dropped wide open. Itachi looked at him with a 'really, Kisame?' look on his face and closed his mouth. But the blue man couldn't help but open it a little more when he heard the pianist sing.

"I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you..."

Hidan's smile fell and so did everyone else's.

"I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here."

Who is this song about? Kakuzu thought but was interupted in thought when he felt an arm on his shoulder, he looked down and saw Konan watching Hidan, eyes wider then usual; Pein not to far behind. Hidan sang another section of the all amazing song.

"I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing's wrong,
But there is no more time for lies
'Cause I see sunset in your eyes."

Hidan's frown was still set upon his face, even though everyone else was smiling. He still had yet to notice them, he was too entranced in the song. Like said earlier: All there was in his world right now was him and his grand piano. The smile once again came onto his face, he couldn't beleive how hard he would kick himself if any other members found out about this hidden talent of his.

"I can't take it any longer,
Thought that we were stronger,
All we do is linger,
Slipping through our fingers,
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you."

Deidara and Sasori stopped by the crowd standing in front of the previously unmentioned room. "Wanna' check it out, danna, un?" "Don't see why not." Deidara motioned for the puppet to get on his back, a sigh. Angrily the puppet-master did as told. They walked by the entrance of the crowded doorway, being as quite as possible. Both staring in awe when the smiling pianist began to sing the song again.

"That I gotta do it,
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it
I hate this part
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it,
I gotta do it."

Hidan, who is this song about? The miser thought angered by not receiving an awnser to his unasked question.

"I hate this part right here,
I hate this part right here,
I just can't take these tears,
I hate this part right here..."

The pianist played his last notes.

"Hidan..."

"Kakuzu..."
