I don't own Naruto, or the Akatsuki. Deal with it, I have.
Note: This is a Deidara/OC love story. Don't like it? Don't read it.
What do you do when your only means of escape is joining your captors? Katsune Imora, seventeen-year-old ninja fugitive, is captured by the Akatsuki and held hostage. But no one wants her back. So, by scheming her way around, she is admitted into the Akatsuki as a 'lap puppy', she does their errands, cooks, and cleans. But one day, while trying to get into a hot spring, she sees Deidara, topless and sexy as usual. But that's how his scars are unveiled. Katsune is moved by his sad story, but other feelings are starting to surface. Can Katsune fight back these feelings and hope that Deidara doesn't feel the same way, or will life in the Akatsuki turn topsy-turvy just to satisfy two people in love?
Must… escape… That's the only thought running through my mind. I could hear the sounds of others in the trees around me. I knew instantly I was surrounded. No use running. I stopped and almost fell over in the process. I looked around, breathing heavily.
"Who… who's there?" I called out.
I should've guessed I'd get no reply. The sound of feet landing on the soil and slow footsteps, then a figure appeared. I stared at the man, gaping at the piercings in his face and ear.
"You're Katsune Imora," he said.
That's not a question, he already knows. I stared at him, not answering his question. That should be answer enough… He nodded ever so slightly, and there was more noise from around me. I was surrounded.
"Capture her," the man in front of me ordered.
Eight figures jumped at me. I didn't even move, knowing I had no chance of escaping. They noticed this, and only two of the men that jumped at me tied me up. The man that led them nodded again. The last thing I saw before my eyes closed was a blonde man standing in front of me, ready to catch me.
