Just make sure you read and review! I'm always open to feedback but please no hate! only constructive! nothing negative please! reviews keep me motivated!

I own nothing! I do not own Naruto!

"Tobi..." a dark harsh growl echoed from the forest floor, below the thick canopy of the trees. Tegan's eyes snapped opened, her body trained to sleep lightly and awaken at even the slightest unfamiliar sound. Without even having to think about it, her hand reached to the weapons pocket she had strapped to her thigh and pulled out a kunai, clutching it to her chest. Silently she rolled from her back to her stomach on the thick mossy tree branch that she had been sleeping on. She peeked around the branch to the ground below.

Dark cloaked figures were standing close together. From how high up she was it was hard for her to see clearly and she didn't have the best eye sight to begin with. The black cloaks had unfamiliar red markings on them which sparked her interest. There wasn't a lot of marks she didn't recognize from all her training. They were both male from what she could tell. One was a young man with long blond hair pulled up into a ponytail, his bangs covering one eye. The other was strange wearing a spiraling orange mask, his dark hair sticking up wildly in all different directions.

"Tobi, shut up!" The blond one barked again lifting his arm to hit the other one. The orange masked one laughed- more like giggled wildly like a little kid running several paces in front of the young man.

"But, Deidara, I'm so hungry! And the nearest village is only a few miles away!" He whined, exactly like a child.

"We don't have time for food, you moron! Leader-Sama has called a gathering. We need to hurry up and get back to base." The blond one, Deidara grumbled, as he continued to move deeper into the forest.

"What's the rush, Deidara? Itachi and Kisame are all the way in the Hidden Leaf Village, we'll surely beat them back even if we do stop to get something to eat!"

Those names made something flicker in the back of Tegan's mind. Kisame? There was no way this goofball meant Master Kisame, did he? It was impossible! Master Kisame didn't like many people and surely he would kill someone as annoying as this guy. She knew first-hand how low of tolerance Master Kisame had for people. Something about this name Itachi ran a bell in her mind too. She couldn't remember from what, but in the foundation that name had been talked about before.

"Talk about food again and I'll blow you up, un!" Deidara shouted causing small animals hidden within the bushes to scatter.

Tobi shrank back a little pouting and grudgingly followed.

Once again she was being left alone in this giant forest.

Tegan didn't know why, but suddenly her stomach dropped when she saw the two other them starting to walk away. It had been almost a year since she had fled her village. Almost a year, she's been hiding in the forests or in the mountains, never staying anywhere for more than a few days. People had run across her path before, but they never saw her and if they did they only believed her to be some poor, dirty child and left her alone. She never wanted them to interact with her anyway. She wanted to be alone. But for some reason, watching these two men walk away from her now, made her feel lonely and hopeless. Inside her chest her heart pounded painfully at the thought of never seeing them again. She didn't want to be alone anymore.

Quickly she stood on her tree branch stowing away the kunai she was holding back in the pouch on her thigh. She grabbed her small stuff sack that she had been using as a pillow and that held all what little she had and threw it over her shoulders. Then she twisted all her crazy silvery blue curls up into a knot on top of her head and leaped forward onto a nearby branch. The two on the ground kept walking deeper into the woods unaware of their visitor in the trees. Tegan leaped, silently from tree to tree, refusing to let the two out of her sight. Her black long sleeved leotard and dark navy blue shorts kept her hidden in the shadows pretty well.

"We're being followed," Deidara said lowly under his breath, glancing at the girl tiptoeing in the trees from the corners of his eyes.

"What?! Followed?!" Tobi whipped around looking behind them, then up into the trees.

"You idiot, don't give it away, un." Deidara hissed.

Tobi turned back around, looking at his partner confused.

Deidara grumbled under his breath, he hated that Leader-sama paired him and Tobi up together for this mission. But with Sasori being on another "more important" mission to meet his secret informant. He had no choice but to get partnered with Tobi. With a slight jerk of his head, Deidara motioned to where their visitor was. "Up there. A girl, un."

"A girl?" Tobi whispered musing to himself. He followed Deidara line of vision and spotted the girl in a high branch of a nearby tree. She was hidden quiet brilliantly in a thicket of leafs. The only thing giving her away was her shiny silver hair. She was a tiny thing, petite and just skin and bones. Her pale skin covered in dirt, cuts and bruises. The girl couldn't have been much older than 12 or 13. She wore a long sleeved black leotard and short navy blue shorts that cut off on her upper thigh. Her weapons pouch was strapped to her right thigh. On the left arm was a tear in the sleeve of her leotard and Tobi could spot a familiar tattoo, a tattoo that one gets being in the ANBU black ops of the Village Hidden in the Mist. Looking to her other arm he spotted the Hidden Mist headband tied around her upper arm and he knew he was correct. But he was surprised to see the slash cut deep within the metal plate."

"An ANBU, pfh," Deidara scoffed. "Probably a spy."

"She's rouge," Tobi said softly. "Look at her headband! Do-do you think she's working for Orochimaru?"

"Un, that slimy snake has never produced a follower that could defeat my art. If she is then we have nothing to worry about. Just ignore her for now. We have to be getting back."

With childlike innocence and worry Tobi looked at Deidara. "But-but we'll lead her straight back to base!"

"So what? If she gets that far then she won't live to tell the story."

"Leader-Sama will be angry!"

"Not for long. He'll probably want to kill her himself for sneaking that far into our hideout."

They continued silently for miles keeping their heads low. Tegan followed, dancing from tree limb to tree limp. It was exhausting keeping up with their speed without being detected. She hadn't eaten in days and she was weak. By the time they finally slowed down in front of a large mountain on the outskirts of the Hidden Rain village, Tegan was out of breath and exhausted. Her stomached ached with hunger so much that she almost collapsed to her knees. She held onto the trunk of the tree she was standing in for support and watched as the men approached the mountain.

The young blond male stepped forward, pulling a small scroll from his robes. He opened it with a whoosh and laid it on the dirt in front of him. His hands moved so fast that Tegan couldn't see what jutsu he was using and she was far enough away that he couldn't hear what he was saying. Deidara slammed his palm onto the center of the scroll and the mountain began to shake. A large round stone at the base of the mountain began to move creating an opening way into the cave.

Deidara gathered his scroll and the two of them moved into the cave. Tegan jumped down from the branch she was on, still hiding behind the tree. She was curious to know what was inside of that cave. But she also knew that if she followed, she was putting herself at risk of getting trapped. They disappeared inside and the stone opening started to close. Inside her head she grumbled and gritted her teeth. She dashed forward, sliding into the cave just as the large rock slammed shut, back into its place on the mountain.

Quickly she stood up, brushing dirt off her leotard and disappearing back into a shadow. Her heart raced, thudding painfully inside her chest. The two men hadn't noticed her entrance. They continued to walk down a dimly torch lit hallway.

At the end of the hall the room opened up into a large grand room. In the center of the dark cave on the far wall was the large statue of a terrifying monster, its hands extended out into the room. On top of the hands stood 8 figures. Tegan stopped behind a rock, careful not to be spotted as the two traveling men walked into the giant room towards the beast. She huddled down behind the rock trying to control her breathing and heart rate. Once she controlled her breathing she carefully peeked into the room. All the figures wore the same dark cloaks but were all very different from each other. In the center was a tall man with crazy orange hair and his face heavily pierced. Besides him was a woman, she was beautiful but stoic, with short blue hair and an origami flower pinned in her hair. A short red headed man with distant bored eyes. A taller younger man with slicked back grey hair. Besides him, a tan man with a mask covering his mouth so only his dark eyes were seen. Another tall man with scars under his eyes, a slick ponytail held his long black hair back. The strangest of them all was a scary looking creature that looked like it came out of the forest, its body encased in a plant, its face split with a white and black side. Tegan tried not to look at it because it sent chills down her spine. The final figure is what she had hoped for. Master Kiseame, he was alive and well! His large sword was strapped to his back, he looked the same as when he left the village.
