He walked down the semi-long corridor, the walls and the ceiling were the same crisp, sterile color of silver that they had been for years, at least ever since he was born anyway. He doubted they had ever been different, this place was never different. Everyday and everything were the same, he hated it.
The only thing he wanted was to see the outside world for himself, he had been born and raised in an underground training facility, he was one of their top 'weapons'. Very few people even considered him a human, worst came to worst he was to be a living bomb and kill who or whatever his enemies were with one humongous explosion while the top guys evacuated.
He considered them cowards, still, it didn't matter what he thought right now, he had another day of stupid training to complete. At least here he could use his explosions and not get in trouble for it. He smiled briefly at the thought of that before gaining his usual expression and entered the training room.
A tall man dressed in green military attire and had a sharp face looked at the boy who entered the room. "Welcome, are you ready to begin?"
"Yes, General sir, un." His vice filled with sarcasm and boredom. He knew he was being disrespectful but he didn't care, they didn't care about him so why should he return the favor?
"Are you going to allow him to get away with such blatant disregard sir?!" A lower ranking officer was standing nearby with a clipboard, here to make a report on what he would be seeing the boy do today.
"Quiet soldier, petty things like that don't matter right now. We're already almost behind schedule as it is." He turned to face the blond headed boy. "As for you, your performance today will be under heavy evaluation. Now go get in position."
"Whatever, un." He turned and headed down the stairs to the arena where it took place everyday.
//////////\\\\\\\\\////////////////\\\\\\////////\\\\\\\\\\\///////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////
Later that night he plopped on his bed harder than normal. Around eight or a little after, the General had come to speak to him and had asked him a few dumb questions.
They were in the cafeteria, it was around eight or so and he eyed the General sitting across from him who was looking rather deep in thought. "You wanted to talk to me, un?"
The General snapped out of his reverie and looked at the boy. "Tell me, what is the one thing you want more than anything else in this world?"
He was half expecting something to do with more explosions. The boy seemed quiet happy with those, he almost always looked somewhat peaceful whenever there was one, especially if he caused it.
It was his turn to look thoughtful for a moment before he replied."I wanna see the outside world for myself,un." Everything was artificial and dull here. At least to him, to almost everyone else it was a lucky chance to be in a special cutting edge military project, sometimes he wondered if things would have been different if he had been born somewhere other than Iwagakure.
"It is a sad thing when a child's only wish is to see something as simple as the sun. Understand that you are doing a great thing boy. And one day you will get your reward for what you are doing now." He allowed the kid to get away with a few minor things, after all he was going through. Not to mention going through it alone, well, after tomorrow he wouldn't be alone anymore, the only thing the boy had learned of outside was what he was allowed to read of it. This place was far to strict for even his own liking.
"I don't see how it's a great thing to be waiting on an attack just to be a human bomb,un." He crossed his arms and huffed a little.
"I know how you feel about this place and the people in it, but at least believe me when I say you will get your wish."
He didn't see how that was possible but the General only switched topics on him. Turning over he started to doze off completely unaware of what the next day was going to bring.
/////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\/////////////////
"So we move in tomorrow f*cking night?" A man with violet eyes said while looking at another with bright orange spiky hair. "Yes, he is young but very powerful. I have been over the report from our inside man." He turned to face a hunched back man. "Sasori, this kid will be your partner, but there is one thing that you should know when dealing with him."
"What?" He was far from thrilled to be getting a new partner, let alone a brat who would probably just cause him more problems
than he was really worth.
"He was raised inside the facility since birth, he's never left it once. So he may have some problems with the world we know."
"Meaning since he's never been outside he'll be annoying me over every little thing?" If he could he would've rolled his eyes.
"We don't know that and remember, no threatening to turn him into a puppet everytime he may annoy you." Sasori wasn't his first choice for this but he needed a partner and he couldn't overlook this unique power being wasted.
Sasori refrained from saying what was on his mind since the leader was an annoyingly stubborn person, any argument now would be pointless.
Their Leader went over the plan with them one last time. They were to strike the next night when everyone would be sleeping, bring back the boy alive and convince him one way or another to join Akatsuki.

The next day went the same as usual and that night after going in his room, he looked around at the baron walls and his made bed, it was the same thing day in and day out. He wanted to escape from this place but even he had limits. He would only ever be a weapon and probably be fated to die as one.
He fell onto the bed harder then normal, frustrated. It had taken him a second to realize that the alarm was going off. 'I'm I going to die tonight, un?' he thought as he headed to where the trouble was.
He was informed by a passing soldier that there were intruders in the training arena. Why there of all places he couldn't figure out. Nothing of value was kept in there and the top secret junk was kept in the Generals office under strict lock and key and a genjutsu.
Entering the arena he saw two people dressed in black cloaks with red clouds on them. One was wielding a giant scythe and the other was cautiously eying the place.
The silver haired man spotted him first. "Is that the f*cking brat?" "Yes." Not having time to ponder what he meant, he jumped down to face them. "For your intrusion you will die, un." He tried to look defiant and tough but he was only a twelve year old boy with blond hair that was a little past his shoulders and the end of it was held together with a rubber band, his visible eye was a deep blue and his bangs completely covered his left eye.
"Pfft. You can't kill me runt." He readied his scythe barely remembering that they were to bring back the boy alive. The boy had stuck his hand in a pouch that was on his left side and wasted no time after it was finished sending it at the silver haired man,
The guy had been charging toward the kid when he felt something wrap around him. He looked to see that it was a caterpillar made of what he guessed was clay. "What the f*ck is this?!" He stared at the boy angrily, his movement was slightly restricted.
"Katsu, un!" The clay bug exploded and it's creator grinned but before the smoke could even clear the same man came charging forward out of it.
This caught him off guard for a moment but he recovered in time to jump out of the way as the guy swung his scythe downward and totaled the part of the floor where he had just been.
Trying a more direct approach he sent a smaller creation he had made earlier directly at the silver haired mans head and detonated it, knocking the mans head off of his body and it rolled a good few feet away from them. Stiil, he was more than surprised to hear it talk. "Kakuzu get your f*cking a$$ over here and help me already!" The body was walking around trying to locate its head. "That should have killed you, un." He said with some disbelief, his clay was loaded with C4, nothing should survive his explosions, let alone talk. "I'm f*cking immortal kid, nothing can kill me! Now wheres my damned head, Kakuzu get over here already!"
He had briefly forgotten that there were two of them. Suddenly he felt a presence behind him, his eye widened for a second, turning around he was met with a pair of the freakiest green eyes he had ever seen, it looked like they were glowing. Before he could jump out of the way, he felt something pierce his stomach. He tried not to show any pain despite the fact that it really, really hurt. He jumped to the right and stuck his hand in his pouch again, he tried to work a little faster but this was also his art. He was going to have to step it up if he wanted them fear it and die.
Of course Kakuzu wasn't going to wait around for some kid to attack so he went heavily on the offensive, he had numerous things that looked like sharp thread coming from under each of his cloak sleeves.
While the green eyed man was charging at him and striking with those things, he wasn't exactly sure what they were, he was doing his best to jump back and evade. He still got hit with a couple of them and before he launched his own attack, one cut the left side of his face.
Finally he got the chance to send a small bird at the man and quickly detonated it, he was still close enough to feel a minor impact from the explosion, knocking himself backward a little bit but at least he knocked down his opponent. "Aw man, I can't believe you guys are having trouble fighting a little kid." Much to his dismay he looked at the arenas entrance and three more dressed in the same cloak had come in. It also seemed that the tall blue one was about to burst out laughing, from his stand point he had immediately seen Hidan wandering around trying to find his head and Kakuzu was getting up from being knocked down, he also looked extremely angry, last time he had seen Kakuzu look like that, well it wasn't a pretty site for his enemy.
Having made a couple of more creations he jumped in the air and threw them at the newcomers, a spider and a bird. "Fear my art, un." He detonated them and had a feeling that it wouldn't have been be be so easy to kill them either.
The smoke cleared a little faster since they were smaller bombs and he had been right. "Pathetic, art is not explosions, art is eternal." Having jumped down into the arena he shot his tail at the boy who narrowly avoided it.
"What would you know old man, un?" He sent another spider at the hunched back man. "More than you brat." He tried to avoid it but part of the explosion hit his front leg, of course it was nearly impossible for someone else to tell since the cloak more than covered his legs.
Before he could blink the tall blue one had charged at him with a giant sword, he rolled out of the way of the attack but didn't have time to evade when the green eyed man shot the sharp thread looking thing through his shoulder. He grunted doing his best to conceal the pain when he noticed that the alarm stopped, that was his cue. That meant it had been deactivated at another location and everyone had evacuated.
Shakily he got up and started laughing to himself, he got what was left of his clay. "I think the kids lost it." The blue man commented.
"I got the signal, it's time to die and I can take you all out at once, un." He knew it was going to come to this, they were strong. Not like the weak stuff he was forced to fight against everyday in this place.
"Hate to break it to ya kid but from where I'm standing it looks like you've already lost." The blue man had noted that five against one kid wasn't exactly his style but it had to be done. Leader wanted this kid back alive.
"The alarm stopped not too long ago, that means I do my part and kill you as a human bomb, un." He said and looked maniacal. Kisame thought he could only see that look on his young partner, Itachi.
He shoved the clay into the mouth under his shirt and was just about to activate his special jutsu when everything went black. The hunched back man had shot his tail at the boy and hit him just below where his chest-mouth was. Just using a simple knockout mix he had for when he saw potential subjects for his art.
"Why didn't you use that in first f*cking place!" Hidans body was still wandering around but his head saw the rest.
"I don't use my poisons or my potions needlessly." "We should get going." Kakuzu looked at Sasori when saying so and went to go hand his partner his cursing head.
Itachi who had been on the side line for this walked over to the knocked out child, just a few years younger than himself. He eyed the boy cautiously for a moment before picking him up himself.
They each got out of there as fast as they could and they made the journey back to their Iwa base.
Meanwhile at much farther off location, a certain General was pretending to be furious that the old place hadn't gone up in flames yet, was actually quiet content knowing the boy was in their hands, he couldn't allow the boy to keep living how he was. So while on the outside he was slamming his fist down and cursing a little, inside he was relieved and almost happy.
'I told you you would get your wish, Deidara.'

End chapter 1. Hope you enjoyed it, oh and our cat had kittens on 01/30, they're so cute. And they get to stay in my room for the time being, I'm really happy about that.
And I'm working on getting the updates up on my other stuff and just so we're clear, this is only a family/adventure/friend fic. Semi-chibi too. No shounen-ai or yaoi will appear at anytime during the story.
If I have right then this story will probably be about 12 chapters, can't guarantee that they'll all be this long though.;^^;.
I'm out.==^-^==.
