Kiku-chan: Hi people! This is our first fanfic!
Kuro: Did you have to tell them that?
Kiku-chan: yes I did -throws rotten granola bar at Kuro-
Kuro: -burns granola bar- Anyways, like she said, this is our first fanfic, and it's an OC.
Kiku-chan: yesh ocs are cool. especially since nobody ever pairs dei-chan up with any girls. its always either sasori, tobi, or some other non-akatsuki guy. i don't approve of shonen-ai, and especially don't approve of yaoi. -gives kuro a disapproving glare-
Kuro: thanks for reminding me. yeah, i just can't wait till chapters 4, 5, 6, or 7
Kiku-chan: Kuro loooooves sasunaru yaoi loooooves it -sings- ladedadedum. take that neville! -pokes itachi with wiimote-
Kuro: all right, i'll just leave you in your misery, then. HE should be here soon, kiku, you'd better hide
Kiku-chan: er, who's "HE"?
kuro: you'll just have to wait like everyone else. anyways on to the diclaimer!
Disclaimer: Neither Kiku-chan nor I own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto gets that honor.
CHAPTER 1: Over The Sand
They traveled silently through the night, long black cloaks hiding their bodies, with strange looking red clouds on them. Every time they jumped, they moved some twenty or thirty feet, not slowed down even a bit by the dry sand of the even drier desert. They kept quiet, not murmuring a word about the chill in the night air, especially in the winter time. They had snuck away quietly, under Pein's nose and the orders of Sasori, to accomplish a secret mission. They were Akatsuki.
Kikue was in the lead, her unmanageable, short, silver hair flowing softly out behind her. Through her long Akatsuki cloak, a few traces of her silver kimono could be seen, though it was not in very good condition. She had big, brown eyes, equivalent to those of a small puppy. Overall, she was an average 16 year old, reaching a total height of 5' 6", forming the youngest member of the Akatsuki. Behind her followed her best friend since the age of 10 years old, Deidara.
Deidara was as quiet as her, but had nothing particular on his mind. He was aware that he was getting closer and closer to the city of the Kazekage, Suna. But it didn't bother him at all, because, to the Akatsuki, without his Jinchuuriki, the Kazekage, Gaara, was nothing, and had no use to them, what-so-ever. His sand colored hair flew back against his face as he obediently followed Kikue, but he never missed a chance to turn and glance in her direction, noticing her fine features.
The ever present wind blowing through the desert, quickened, and so did Kikue. It was a while before Deidara noticed, and soon caught up with her, himself. The silence was annoying him right then, after all, he liked noise. Loud noise. "Hey! Kikue-chan! Where are we going again?" He had asked just for the sake of hearing her voice. In actuality, he had memorized their plan down to the smallest detail.
"We are going to the Temple of the Poison God. It's ancient, probably deserted. But to find the room we are looking for, we must search carefully. The temple will most likely be filled with traps. Sasori-sama himself needs it, and apparently, it's the strongest poison in he world, killing whoever touches it in an instant. He needs it for special use." Kikue's silky voice whispered. "And before you ask, no, I do not know why he would possibly need it. Also, please refrain from calling me 'Kikue-chan' ever again." During the last few words, her voice had a sharp steel edge to it. Kikue definitely meant what she said. But, Deidara definitely saw a small smile spread across her face.
"Yeah, yeah, sure...Exactly why are we doing this for Sasori? Why can't he just get it himself, if it's so dangerous and useful?"
"He's still recovering from the battle after you had captured the Kazekage. He nearly died, you know!" Her sentence ended in a way that meant that she didn't want to talk anymore. But the silence didn't last long, for she saw something that disturbed her. Over the horizon, past the millions of sand dunes, there were three growing figures, still tiny in the distance. "Deidara-san," she paused, and Deidara flinched. "Who are those people? They look like ninja."
Deidara turned to look towards the horizon and his eyes widened for no longer than a second. Kikue had now stopped completely, and so did Deidara. "Crap! Why does it have to be them?" Kikue turned to look at him with questioning eyes. "The copy ninja, Hatake Kakashi. He's the one who cut off my left arm, the one that you had to heal. His student, the Kyuubi brat, Naruto, I think. He was supposed to be my prize, the nine-tailed Jinchuuriki. And the pink-haired girl...ugh. What a whore. She doesn't look like much, but is a medic-nin and is the student of the Hokage, Tsunade. I think her name is Sakura, and she is the one that nearly killed 'Sasori-sama.' They are all greatly skilled Konoha ninja. It's best we avoid them for now...Shall I?" Deidara stepped forward, his hand reaching into his clay pouch to pull out some clay.
"Hold on, Hatake Kakashi, you said?" Deidara nodded to her question, but listened to her commanding voice. "Lets go say hello, shall we, Deidara?" Her voice was emotionless, and Kikue just started to walk towards the now clear figures. They were all in plain sight of each other, coming to meet about 40 feet apart. Recognition flared through all of them, including Kikue, and for a while, all was silent, even the loud Naruto. Kakashi was staring at Kikue, recognizing her as a 10 year old he had once met, on a trip to Suna. To him, she had seemed innocent enough, but he was mistaken, it seemed. A few more moments passed, and a sudden outburst from the #1 most unpredictable ninja in Konoha brought them all back to reality.
"YOU!!!" Naruto yelled, pointing at Deidara. Anger filled up inside of him, but surprisingly, he had kept it under control. Sakura was looking at Deidara too, both her and Naruto ready to attack at any moments notice. Deidara was prepared too. Except, Kakashi and Kikue kept on staring at each other.
"Well, I guess I was wrong when I judged you, Kikue-san. I truly thought that you were a good person." Kakashi voiced.
"Kakashi-san, judging is too easy, but can be very misleading. I trust you will not make the same mistake again?" replied Kikue. "It was nice to see you again. But, my friend and I here really must be on our way." She bowed, giving Deidara the signal to use his clay creation. Team Kakashi was confused for a second, but that was all they needed to get away. The bomb exploded, and when the smoke cleared, Kikue and Deidara were gone.
