Sakura and Ino had been on a mission looking for the Akatsuki for almost an entire month. "Shit" sakura thought. They had been given a time frame of 3 months to complete their mission before naruto, Kakashi, and Sasake were to come find them. The Akatsuki had captured Hinata about 3 months prior to Sakuras dispatch. The best tracking nin in the village, Kiba, Neji, and Shino, had been on important missions at the time and most of the jenin in the village were on missions as well. This had left sakura and Ino as they had been taking a break to work at the hospital and training young medical nin. They were to find the Akatsuki base of operations and report back to the hidden leaf with their findings.

"Well before we go to the next village to look for clues we might as well get cleaned up"

"Agreed Sakura"

"Let's meet back here in an hour then leave"

Sakura jumped over the trees to get to a river and Ino did the same to find her own place to bathe.

"There she is the one Itachi wants to see about to bathe"

"Let's go then no use in wasting time"

The moment Sakura got to the river she began to strip. She had just taken her shorts off when she heard a rustle in the trees. "Who's there" she yelled out loud believing that it was just an animal in the treetops. Satisfied with the lack of response and noise she reached for the buttons on her top.

"Now dear let's keep the rest of our clothes on shall we"

Sakuras heartbeat quickened at the voice behind her. She slowly started to turn towards the voice even though she was already familiar enough with it.

" Deidara"

"Oh you remember my name how touching"

Sakura subtly drew her kunai and started drawing chakra towards her hands as she turned to face the blonde man.

"What do you want what are the akatsuki doing now"

"Oh dear you'll find out soon"

"What have you done with Hinata"

"You'll see once we capture you now won't you "

At this sakura raised her fist to slash at Deidara with a kunai. As she raised her fist a hand from behind caught her arm. She turned around to see pein holding her fist still. Then as she took a moment to process Deidara hit her in the shoulder with a kunai. Sakura immediately started loosing blood.

"You idiot we were supposed to knock her out not kill her"

"Well she's about to pass out isn't she and she won't die you're being over dramatic pein"

And pass out sakura did. She had tried to hold onto consciousness for as long as possible but eventually she had succumbed to her fading energy. But before she passed out her yelled out as loud as possible "INO I NEED HELP"

Pein and Deidara decided to gag her after that. So with an unconscious Sakura draped over Deidara's back the two Rouge nin started leaving the forest. However Ino had heard Sakuras last call and was hot on their trail. "Crap what has forehead gotten herself into now, how in the world am I supposed to take on two Akatsuki members" Ino slowly creeped closer to the rouge nin. When she was only a few yards away she struck.

"MIND TRANSFER JITSU"

By the time pein and Deidara turned around it was too late. Ino's body dropped to the ground and Pein's eyes filled with a glassy look. Ino used Pein's body to attack Deidara. She had almost gotten him to drop Sakura when he held her to him and held a knife to her neck.

"Come any closer and the pinkette gets it"

Ino backed pein up a little. Then Pein's body started convulsing. Within moments Pein's eyes showed clear and bright and Ino's body got up groggily.

"H - how did you shake my mind transfer gitsu?"

"Nothing that you need to know"

"Hey pein how glad do you think Itachi would be if we brought him two kunoichi from the hidden leaf" Deidara said after knocking out Ino.

Pein simply grunted in return having had enough of taking to the loudmouth. Deidara got the memo and picked up Ino's unconscious body. The two nin once again started for their headquarters. The blonde and the pinkette's heads bobbing in the air as the two didn't bother transporting them any other way then slung across Deidara's back.
