The Akatsuki and the Freak [Revamped]
[Author Note: This is my story from another account. It is being redone with the help of the Author of The Akatsuki and the Great Oroki who is also redoing her story. We hope that you all enjoy what we have in store for you!]
Having been wandering around for three days, no sleep, no food, started making Lia weary of her surroundings and wonder why she hadn't ran into anyone yet. Walking over a small hill, she was finally able to see a village up ahead and gave a soft sigh of relief.
"Finally, maybe I can get some rest now." She says softly to herself.
Walking into the small village, she got quite a few odd looks. It was very much apparent that she wasn't from around here, nor did she belong to any village close by. The odd looks were cast towards her face that held an unusual mark that was branded on too pale skin. The brand in question was that of a blue dragon, snaking its way along the left side of her face. With the look of confidence that she didn't actually have, she walked through the village, long black hair blowing loosely in the wind, till she found the inn that she would hopefully be able to stay at and get some rest. After getting a room, she sat her things down and looked out the window with a sigh. "I'm never going to fit in." She whispers to herself as she sees the reflection of her face and places a hand along the brand that was placed there when she was five.
At the age of five, she had not only gotten the brand of what most people would call a freak, but also had lost her family. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened during the day, but that cool September evening, all hell broke loose in her home. She had been sleeping since she had to get up early the next morning to go with her older sister Mari to learn something that most her age wouldn't comprehend. Her parents were skeptical about letting her do something so dangerous, but she was insistent about wanting to learn as soon as she could since her older sister had done so at such a young age. Someone from a rival clan started setting fire to the house, starting with her parent's room. Lia's parent's were trapped in their room, unable to get out, but was banging on their door to hopefully wake the two girls up so that they could get away.
Mari was able to get out just as someone threw something that was on fire through a window into her room. Lia, sitting in her bed was screaming before someone wrapped a hand over her mouth to stop her screaming and she started kicking. Inside her head, something opened like a door that had been closed since birth and her eyes started to turn from green to red. Biting into the person's hand, she got free before looking back at him and tilting her head. Eyes fully red, stared at him for a moment before she bit into her thumb and summoned a dragon.
No one to this day knows exactly how she managed to do it since she hadn't learned how to just yet, other than there was a possibility that she got it out of her sisters head right before she died.
Snapping back to the present, she stared out the window again and sighed just as her stomach growled, reminding her that she hadn't eaten in a few days. Turning away from the window, she headed back out to the village and started looking around for a place to eat. Finally spotting a food stand she smiled softly and tried to act normal, black hair covering most of the brand on her face before she walked in and had a seat. Ordering the first thing on their menu, she ate quickly as everyone in the shop stared at her, knowing that she wasn't what most people would consider normal. Smiling, she paid for her meal and went back to her room. Yawning, she stretched out on the bed and soon passed out due to lack of sleep for several days.
While sleeping she seemed to have a nightmare that was always coming up whenever she slept. Screaming and then suddenly falling out of bed, she woke up after only having maybe two hours of sleep that night and sighed. Getting up off the floor, she walked to the closest bathroom and splashed some water on her pale face, looking into the mirror as she heard the voices from the nightmare echoing in her head. Splashing more water, she gave out a deep sigh which seemed to erase the voices from her mind for the time being. Wiping off her face, she walked back to her rented out room and sat back on the bed, closing her eyes and started meditating which seemed to be the only way that she could get any sort of rest without the risk of having that same nightmare.
Deep in meditation she didn't at first hear the village alarm sound, but as it continued to sound off, she was disturbed out of her meditation and she sprang up out of her bed and went to the window where she looked out to see people outside. Suddenly there was an explosion near by the inn that shook the building and screams rose up from the streets below. Grabbing the cloak that she always wore outside, she ran down to the stairs and out to the street where she seen a familiar cloak, with its black back ground and red clouds, that has been haunting her and hunting her since the day that her family died. The Akatsuki has finally found her once again.
Tobi, being from the Akatsuki was sent to the small Shadow Village in search for one particular person. Him and his partner Deidara were sent to retrieve this person and were only given a brief description of the person they were to acquire. Her name was Lia and she was wanted by the Leader to join in their ranks because of some power that she had that no one really understood. Frowning, he walked into the village while Deidara flew over from the mountain side and started the commotion in hopes to draw her out. Mask over his face, he walked in and seemed to dodge all the screaming, frightened people and found where Lia was. Grinning, he walked towards the inn until he seen her walking out.
"Lia! Hi! It's Tobi!" Raising an eye brow, she looked at him before biting her thumb and performing a summoning jutsu that would bring out one of her dragons that she had learned to summon when she was five.
Frowning, he shook his head and sighed. "All Tobi wanted was to be your friend! Tobi is a good boy!"
"No, Tobi, I'm afraid you aren't because all you've been doing is tracking my whereabouts. Now either you leave me alone or you're going to die." She says icily.
The longer the conversation went, the better because she knew before too long her summon would be coming out to help her. A few minutes later a 9 foot tall purple dragon appeared within the summoning circle. The explosions seemed to get closer and closer to the inn and seemed to be coming from the air. Taking her eyes off Tobi for a minute as her dragon stood between her and him she looked up to the sky and seen someone jump onto the bird like thing and then it exploded before the two people landed on the ground not too far from where she was.
Frowning, she shook her head, she looked back to Tobi. "I see that you've brought reinforcements this go around."
Looking back at the two who landed, she noticed that it was a blond head and sighed, shaking her head. "Great, Deidara is here. I should have known that it was him from all the explosions."
Whipping her head back towards Tobi, she raised an eyebrow. "What exactly do you all want from me?"
The dragon sensing her agitation with the two Akatsuki members swung its tail out towards Deidara as its head lunged at Tobi. Tobi, sensing the attack jumped out of the way, completely avoiding it and grinned beneath his mask. Lia shook her head, patting the dragon as it flung its tail agitated before slamming its tail down and breaking the ground beneath it, leaving a crack not only between its legs and towards where Tobi stood before them but also towards where Deidara stood behind them, rocks and dirt flinging up into the air around them.
Lia chanced a look back at Deidara and noticed him jumping and taking shaky steps before looking back at her dragon where she grinned and waved towards him seemingly amused before looking back at Tobi who was just outside of her dragon's reach.
Grinning towards him, her eyes started to change to a red color as she grabbed a few kunai out of her cloak and threw them at Deidara over her shoulder and looked at the dragon beside her. "You can have a snack if you want."
Grinning, she see's that Deidara just avoided the attacks and shrugs as she looks back towards Tobi. Eyes blazing red now, she grabbed in her cloak again, grabbing more kuni as she looked up at the dragon.
"I do believe you have this covered, no?" She says as she takes a step away from the dragon and back towards where she seen Deidara.
The dragon was still agitated and slammed its tail down on the ground, breaking it even more as the crack began to not only widen a bit but also deepen, rocks and dirt falling in as it also started lengthening, running closer to Deidara and the other female but also towards Tobi. Turning around, Lia walked over towards the two fighting. Finally noticing, the wolf, she tilted her head and watched for a moment, smiling.
"Hm, interesting little trick she has." She says as she starts towards the two again, not seeming to be fazed by the crumbling ground beneath her feet.
The dragon, now behind her, got down on all fours, causing the ground to shake with the force of it as he started stalking towards Tobi. Lia, noticed that the female was slid back, holding onto a bleeding wound as the wolf continued to try to attack Deidara. Side stepping the fight between the two, she walked straight over to the female, and holding up her hands in a fashion that showed that she wasn't going to hurt her, she sat on her heels by the girl.
"I'm going to heal that for you, if you don't mind. You'll be no good for anyone if you're dead."
Lia noticed that the female seemed apprehensive about her being around, but shrugged it off until she got up and shook her head.
"I'll just get hurt again. I doubt he's going to let me rest for very long." She said quickly, wincing slightly as an explosion took out Patter, who disappeared into a poof of smoke.
Raising an eyebrow, she too stood up and shrugged, letting the female get up. Turning to look at Deidara she began to laugh and shook her head.
"A... summon...?" He said to himself, glancing over at the female for a moment in curiosity,before becoming infuriated.
"Hey, no interfering you, un!" Laughing harder, she took a step towards Deidara as the ground crumbled beneath their feet even more from the dragon hitting it with its tail once more causing her to jump up slightly and land just fine back on the ground.
"And what are you going to do about me interfering? I am the one that you came for, after all, am I not?" She states with a shrug.
"And from the look of things, your not going to have much ground left to stand on for too much longer." Grinning, she tosses the kunai in hopes to throw him off balance long enough for the other female to get her own balance and rest up a bit.
Deidara deflected the kunai easily which caused Lia to laugh even more.
"So what? I was trying to teach this art hater a lesson! You're a bother, un!" He growled, reaching into the belt under his cloak. Grinning, she shook her head.
"Aww, are you going to try and blow me up too Dei?" She asks, tilting her head and pouting.
Even without watching the female, she seemed to know what was going on and smiled when everything was darkening. "Nice choice there, kid." She says over her shoulder at the other female as the dragon that she had summoned, reared up and tried to smack Tobi away before making its way over to her, lifting her up onto his head.
Tobi laughed and dodged as if it was just a child's game instead of an actual battle that was going on around him.
"I'm not a child." The female snapped, her hands in the Rat hand seal.
A dark shadow spread across the cracked ground. The blond raised a brow, producing a bird and taking off into the air. Tasha then made her way up onto a nearby rooftop, a wolf on her heels. Lia watched as all this went on, the dragon lifting them into the air with mighty beats of its wings as the ground crumbled even more beneath them.
"You aren't getting away that easily!" She shouted up as the Akatsuki member rose higher up into the sky.
"Shadow blade jutsu!". A large, pitch black hand grabbed at the bird as it weaved and darted to avoid it.
Just in time for the female to throw the shadow, she started a jutsu of her own and hurled it towards the bird, it combining with the shadow jutsu.
"Fire breath jutsu!" Her hands cupping around her mouth as fire blew out from her mouth wrapping around the shadow that had attempted to get a hold of the bird.
Burns began to form on Lia's hands but then soon went away as she watched. The dragon lifted them higher, going after Deidara and his clay bird. Grinning, Lia watched as the bird continued to dodge and shook her head.
"Your not getting away." She says as she starts performing another jutsu after biting into her thumb and drew the circle on the dragons head.
Slamming her hands down into the circle another dragon came into being beside her as the one she was on began to weave.
Lia jumped from the purple one to the red one and began to perform another jutsu. "Whirl wind Jutsu!"
Just as her jutsu was being preformed she seen the other woman standing upon a shadowed hand and smiled, shaking her head as she watched Deidara trying to fly away.
"Don't think your getting away that easily Deidara. I'm seriously tired of you coming after me time and time again. I've told you all, already, I am not going to be joining you, so give it up. I'd much rather die than to join you bunch of homicidal freaks." Lia spat out as her and the red dragon continued chasing after him, the purple dragon spitting out fire towards Deidara and his bird.
As she continued to chase after Deidara and his bird, the purple dragon spat out fire in front of her which caused an explosion, tossing her off the red dragon and the purple dragon to dissolve into smoke, showing that it was going back to where she had summoned it from. Falling through the sky, she had sustained a gash on her forehead from the explosion which caused her to loose consciousness, her dragon barely caught her before she hit the ground below. The village was raging with the fire that threatened to devour it in flames as the smoke from above showered everything in darkness.
While Lia had ran off to fight Deidara, Tobi grinned beneath his mask and disappeared like he tended to do from time to time, even though he had been enjoying the fight going on in the village. He knew that Deidara would be able to handle his own and would like to continue to play with them as he enjoyed his 'art'. Laughing, he shook his head, remembering that Deidara always said 'Art is a blast'.
Once the red dragon landed heavily on the ground, it disappeared causing Lia to hit the ground roughly, keeping her from waking up anytime soon as the wound on her head continued to bleed, dripping down her face and onto the ground. The village continued to burn as the shinobi ran around trying to put it out and villagers were taken care of if they were injured during the battle.
Shortly after, Lia was found and even though she was injured, the village decided to throw her out, leaving her out on the road to be found by someone else if someone ever found her. Since she didn't get attended to, her body started healing on its own, leaving nothing but a red fading line and blood stains on her head and face. A few days later she woke on the ground and groaned, looking around. Sighing, she realized that she had been thrown out of yet another village and shook her head also realizing that her stuff was still in the inn inside the village walls.
Looking towards the village she noticed that it had taken care of the fire that had started to spread, though there was still some smoke rolling up into the sky. Standing, she dusted herself off and started walking away, hoping that soon she would be able to find a place and maybe settle in, maybe a place where the Akatsuki wouldn't know where she was and would leave her be. Rolling her eyes, she shook her head as she realized that was an impossible dream to have as it seemed they always knew where she was going to be, even before she knew where she was going. Setting off on her journey yet again, she stopped in an outpost of a town and stocked up on supplies, got cleaned up and then headed out again.
Thinking about the damage that was left in the shadow village that she had been at made her heart break, knowing that it was because of her that so many people were hurt and so much damage done to the village itself. This wasn't something that she wanted. There wasn't anything she could do about it either because she never knew when the Akatsuki would catch up to her and start attacking, knowing that they wouldn't get her to join them while she was conscious, because like she said to Deidara, she would much rather be dead than to join the Akatsuki.
Tobi arrived back at the base and fell over laughing childishly, rolling around.
"Well that was fun. Maybe we should do it again. I'm really enjoying this game of tag we seem to be doing with Lia chan. Hmm, maybe we could add that other girl in on it too." Grinning wildly, he ran to Pein's room and knocked on the door to tell him how the mission seemed to go.
Grinning, he heard Pein call for him to come in and opened the door.
"Pein! I've come to report!" He says stepping into the room, a spring in his step as he continued to act childishly and laughed. Turning around, he closed the door and then looked at Pein.
Pushing himself away from his desk, Pein leaned back in his chair, eying Tobi.
"Yes, Tobi, I gathered that. Get on with it."
Laughing and shaking his head, he grinned at Pein before shrugging.
"Well, obviously we didn't get Lia-chan, but found out that she is getting better with those dragons. As well as we found another one that may be of interest. She can summon Oroki's wolves."
Pein gave him an irritated look, before raising a brow.
"Oroki? I have no idea what you are talking about." He grumbled, standing up from his chair. The name sounded familiar to him though, as odd of a name as it was. He walked over to his bookshelf, looking through his books until he found mention of it.
"Ah, I see. That is interesting." He set the book on his desk, folding his arms in front of him.
"We'll have to bring her into the fold then. I know just who to use."
Grinning, Tobi nodded. He knew all about Oroki and how useful he would be if they could get him into the Akatsuki. After all, he has encountered Oroki himself once.
"At least the mission was some what successful!" He says laughing. "See, Tobi is a good boy!" Blinking, he tilted his head. "Do you want me and Deidara to continue to pursue Lia chan?"
Pein nodded.
"Naturally. Go fetch Kisame and Itachi for me while you're at it. I want them to do something for me." With a dismissing glance Pein sat back down to finish his paperwork.
Tobi stands there and frowns before huffing and walking out to go find Kisame and Itachi. Finding the two of them, he told them excitedly that the leader wanted them to do something for him and that they needed to go see him as he didn't know what they were going to be doing. After speaking to them, he went into the kitchen to grab something to eat before trying to find where Deidara had ran off to as he didn't know what happened to him after the battle.
Itachi was in his room, being his normal self, a grumpy hermit, that didn't want to have anything to do with anyone. Laying on his bed with an arm over his eyes, he sighed and thought about his little brother, Sasuke and wondered how he was doing. Wondered if he was able to surpass him by hating him. Sighing, he shook his head. His naive little brother wouldn't be able to do it. But for the sake of the two of them he hoped that he would be able to, and soon. Hearing a knock on his door, he grumbled and growled at the door.
"What do you want?" He yells from his bed before sighing and getting up to answer the door only to see that it was Tobi and slammed the door in his face.
Hearing the knocking again, he answered and waited for Tobi to tell him what he wanted and then slammed the door again and put his cloak on before heading out to Pein's room where he met up with Kisame. After listening to Pein about what they were to do, the two of them set off in the direction of where they were told would be their mission.
It seemed almost too long since she had an encounter with the Akatsuki and was beginning to almost worry if everything was okay. Maybe she had finally gotten rid of her pursuers because they had finally died and had gotten the message through the rest of them that she wasn't going to be joining their ranks unless she was dead and they some how brought her back to life with some forbidden jutsu that they had found.
Grinning to herself, Lia had started relaxing a bit and found a stream near by. Smiling and slowly starting to feel almost carefree she undressed and jumped into the cool water to wash up and relax, swimming just for fun. Her joyful laughter rang through the trees stirring the wildlife within the forest and a group of 5 bandits that were near by.
The bandits had started to settle down for the night as they had just gotten back from a raid that they did to a traveling merchant not to far away and had celebrated the great treasure that they brought back to camp with them. They had gotten enough food to last for another year if they were careful as well as money and some spare clothing.
The leader, Jerome, heard the laughter and grumbled, motioning for 3 of the guys to follow the sound and find out what was going on. Finding the female in the spring, the took her clothes and two of the men jumped her from behind, hitting her in the head, knocking her out. Picking her up out of the water, one carried her back to the camp where they tied her up against a tree.
Waking up, she mumbled and groaned, feeling the knot on the back of her head. Blinking, Lia looked around and noticed the 5 men looking at her. Raising an eyebrow, she looked back.
"What is this all about?" She questions before they all start laughing.
Growling, she struggles against the ropes causing them to laugh more before the leader walks over and slaps her in the face, leaving a red hand print on her right cheek. Turning her head to stare at the 5 men before her again, she spit out blood at them as the impact of the slap had split her lip and caused her to bite into her cheek.
"We will be asking the questions and be demanding answers." The leader says, bending down to get right into her face.
Once he was in her face, she wrinkled her nose from the stench of saki and odors of being stuck outside with no way of bathing. Snorting a sneeze, she stared at them for a moment before starting to struggle against the rope again. The only difference this time was that she had freed herself enough to be able to use hand signs and blew the bandits away from her and the tree, throwing them against trees to knock them out at least long enough for her to get free and get dressed then off on her journey once again.
Running away, Lia ran by and grabbed her things from by the stream and then crossing it, she continued to run trying to get as far away from the bandits as she possibly could and found a nice cave that she could settle into for the night. It had been over a week since the battle and she honestly wasn't surprised that she had been found by at least the bandits, but seriously began to wonder when the Akatsuki would find her again.
Itachi and Kisame set out on their mission and took almost a week to track down what they were searching for. They were to find the female that Tobi and Deidara encountered while trying to apprehend Lia, that supposedly used wolves. Not to get bit by said wolves either. Itachi thought it was stupid that they were looking for someone that used wolves, but he wasn't the leader so it didn't matter. Finally finding this female, it seemed odd because Itachi had to use his sharingan to find her because she was using some shadow jutsu or something.
Noticing that the female that they were after was starting to doze he began to get closer, using the sharingan to pinpoint where she was within shadows that was being created. Seeing the wolves ready for attack, he stopped and looked at Kisame before rolling his eyes.
"So is this the place Itachi-san?" Kisame questioned, looking over the cave with a raised brow. It looked unoccupied, and quite dim. He turned to his partner, his arms crossed.
"Are you sure you aren't just straining your eyes too much? I don't even hear anything coming from here."
"Yes, I am sure this is it. She's using shadows to conceal herself from anyone that may be tracking her. As Leader had stated, she has wolves with her, two of them, both in front of her protectively."
Although it looked to be unoccupied by the naked eye, he could see clearly with the power of his sharingan that she was very much there and this was their chance to get her and take her to the base.
Kisame nodded, a wide, toothy grin crossing his face.
"I hope this one puts up a fight better then the last one we went after. I've been so bored lately." Kisame advanced towards the cave, curiously. "It still looks completely empty."
Itachi continued to keep an eye on the female and noticed that her and the wolves started retreating further into the cave.
"Well, she's in there and going further into the cave. So we need to strike now before she ends up getting away through a hole in the back." Itachi says, motioning him towards the back.
"One of us should go around the back and make sure that she's unable to get out that way."
He was unsure of the uses of the wolves but knew that they were going to be an issue so creating a shadow clone, he sent the clone in through the entrance of the cave and walk towards her, sharingan still being used.
Itachi motioned Kisame towards the back of the cave. The back of the cave... which was deeper in the mountain. Kisame raised a brow at him.
"Sure. I'll... do that..." Kisame stared at the cave for a few moments, then started walking around it. He was sure he'd find something eventually.
Itachi continued to watch the female closely and noticed that she was starting to panic, which should make this a whole lot easier, had it not been for the blinding light that suddenly burst throughout the cave, causing him to blink, momentarily blinded.
"So, the wolves are the ones with the jutsu?" He says to himself before walking over to the cave himself and stood there looking at her and the wolves as the crows flew out of the cave.
He wasn't sure what he was going to do about the wolves but stared at her for a moment pulling her into a genjutsu.
As the crows flew overhead, the female started making hand signs as the lighter wolf tried to blind him Mangekyo Sharingan as he started using his shurikenjutsu. once more. Staring at the wolf he attempted a genjutsu on it to stop the flashing of blinding light as he began to wonder what she was doing with the hand signs that she was creating. Feeling that he needed to end this soon, he activated
Itachi heard one of the wolves give out a strained yelp as he tried to put it under a genjutsu before noticing the air changing within the cave and jumped out of the way before there was an explosion and the entrance of the cave caved in on itself, sealing it off from this entrance. Seeing Kisame, he rolled his eyes and started walking off, knowing that they would encounter the female and her problematic wolves that she seems to keep around her at all times.
"So, Itachi-san. What's the plan?"
Staring at him for a moment he sighed and looked at the burn stains on his cloak from the explosion before continuing on walking. "Well first, getting a new cloak, then grabbing that brat and possibly killing those damn wolves of hers." He grumbled.
Falling asleep, Lia laid in the cave, curled up and shivering slightly. Soon she got a strange feeling like she was being tracked by someone and knew that it had to be the Akatsuki sending out their tracking dogs, er rather Tobi and Deidara. Sadly her get away had only lasted a month and in that month she had gotten taken by bandits before running away again. Sighing, she gathered her things and started out walking away and hopefully making it harder for the two Akatsuki hounds to find her. Finding another cave she ducked inside and started fixing herself something to eat since she was able to grab some food that would be able to last her for awhile. As night fell, she started a fire to keep herself warm and kept watch to make sure that she hadn't been found just yet.
After telling Itachi that Pein needed to speak to him about his next mission, Tobi set out to find Deidara and tell him that they needed to continue searching for Lia and actually accomplish bringing her in. It seemed that Pein was getting annoyed that the mission kept failing. More importantly, he himself was getting irritated that it was failing. To say that she was stubborn was an under statement and needed to be taken care of, even if that meant actually killing her. He didn't like that thought as she would be a major asset to the organization but this game of cat and mouse was getting old. She was starting to get good at hiding. Him and Deidara just got lucky that they had spotted her walking into that village that they nearly destroyed, but what about next time? It seemed to him that she was beginning to be able to sense when they were near and would lay a trail that would throw them off, at least temporarily which was all that she needed. Was he starting to get lazy in his old age? Grinning he decided that he was going to change things up a bit and flair up Deidara's ego about his 'art'. Finding Deidara up on the roof, he cleared his throat and grinned beneath his mask before plopping down beside him.
"Sempai! We're to go do some more chasing after Lia-chan!"
Deidara scowled, scooting away as Tobi sat down beside him.
"Sempai! We are going to do some more chasing after Lia-chan!" Deidara groaned, rubbing his uncovered eye with his hand.
"Fine. You better be useful this time, yeah?" He grumbled, stretching his limbs.
Tobi frowned and let out a little whine. "But Tobi's a good boy." He said before standing and jumping off the roof, landing on the ground gracefully before taking a step and stumbling, laughing like a child.
It seemed to him that Deidara was also starting to get tired of the female that they were chasing after. How long had it been since they started this? Oh, right. Since the beginning. Going on 13 years, or at least he himself has been after her that long. Sad that its been strung out like it has, but towards the beginning he was enjoying it, now? It was just getting annoying. Deidara jumped down and joined him.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's just get this done and over with, hm?"
Nodding his head, he dusted himself off and headed towards the direction he was sure that she would have taken before looking at Deidara. "Sempai, I have an idea to trap her." He stated as he continued walking.
Grinning beneath the mask, he continued walking, knowing that Deidara wasn't very happy with him, but considering how he reacted to people about his art, that wouldn't be much of a problem with his plan.
Deidara stepped in stride with Tobi, crossing his arms as they walked.
"You don't say? What kind of plan are we talking about, un?"
Grinning, Tobi nodded his head.
"Of course Sempai!" Clapping his hands together excitedly, he started skipping.
"We'll use some of your wonderful art that you love to do so much around a perimeter and I, as a good boy, will lure her into the trap. But of course without killing her."
Deidara made a face.
"You suck at plans you idiot. The art is the only good thing about that plan, yeah." Grumbling, Deidara trudged along, seeming to be thinking, possibly of a better plan.
Granted, yes it wasn't the best of plans, but it would be fun and an interesting way of changing things up. It wasn't like she would be able to kill him anyway.
"Oh alright. We'll do your stupid plan, un." He finally consented, looking really put off by the whole thing.
Grinning, Tobi started jumping with joy. "Yay! Sempai, this is going to be so much fun! We'll get to enjoy lots of your art too!"
Going all serious beneath his mask, he began to think about what exactly he was going to do with the female that seemed to somehow continually get away from him. It was apparent that he wasn't actually taking all of this seriously, but that would change as he was becoming rather impatient with the whole situation. It really didn't help any that he had to keep up pretenses and occasionally got in the way of things. But for now he would continue to have fun playing with the female and using Deidara as nothing more than a tool in the eventual capture of the female.
