Two figures crouched in the shadows, staring at the clearing in front of them. Traps were scattered along the ground, along with a chakra-depleating field. Those two together created a lethal defense. One foot in there and you were dead.
"Can you negate the field?" whispered one, not taking her eyes off the clearing.
"Of course. Just a sec." Replied the other. She closed her eyes and performed a few hand seals. "Ryo me no jutsu!" When she opened her eyes again, they had changed from a deep blue to a striking violet. Focusing on the field she awakened something inside of her. Slowly the field receded.
"Great, c'mon" The two shadows jumped up, into the clearing.
Deidara hated guard duty. It was pointless. The liar was so well hidden, nobody ever found it. Even if someone did, it was so well protected; he wouldn't have to lift a finger.
He was killing time by sculpting an intricate model of his breakfast. He had just finished the waffles, when one of the wires attached to his hand twitched. It was the one for the chakra barrier. It went limp. He looked up, to find the barrier was disappearing. He frowned. Zetsu had created the barrier. It was invincible, he had tested it himself. Nothing could get through it. So what was making it disappear?
His question was answered as two figures jumped into the clearing. They walked forward. Deidara was amazed that they avoided all the traps, even the sub-terrainian ones. He frowned. Were they bait? A distraction? From the looks of them they were only in their teens. It wasn't possible for them to do all that without help.
Suddenly one of them looked up at him. Her piercing violet eyes seemed to bore right into him. He stepped back. Something wasn't right. Something inside him was pulling him to the edge, to keep on staring into her eyes. The deeper he looked, the more it pulled. A breeze touched his cheek. It had a sweet smokey smell. He grew drowsy. It was just a few seconds before he lost conciousness. He tried to tear his gaze from her. But her eyes were so fierce, it was impossible. He felt himself drift into sleep, like a feather floating to the ground. The last thing he remembered were her eyes shift from that intense violet to a deep, solomn blue.
"Let's hurry, before others come." The first one said. The other just nodded, tearing her eyes from the fallen man, then following her partner into the entrance of the lair.
