Hey :D Cassie here. So here's the first chapter to my story. It's short but I felt like it had the perfect ending, so yeah. I'll have to do some editing since I transported the writing from another document onto this. (don't worry, it's mine) :P

So I would like to say that currently, there is only one OC in this story, but I assure you that there will be more in the future. Just wait. It'll be fine.

So yeah. Read. Review. You know how it works. Buh bye~!

Chapter 1: Enter, the Akatsuki!

Normal POV

"Can we bring her to the base?"

"Shh. No."

"But, senpai!"

"I said shut up, un!"

Cassie creaked open her eyes, instantly shutting them when sunlight shot it's bright rays into them.

"Deidara-senpai! I think she's awake!"

"No duh, un."

The girl lying on the hot dirt path shot her eyes open again when she heard the familiar name. She widened them when she saw both two of her personal favorite characters from Naruto. From the Akatsuki!

The blonde bomber was glaring at his partner for acting foolish and saying dumb things. But he soon turned his shocked expression on her when she managed to cough out, due to some dust getting into her lungs.

"Tobi…? Deidara?"

The shocked Akatsuki member then narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

"How do you know our names, girl? You're a random villager from whatever village and you know the Akatsuki, un? How is that so?"

Cassie blinked. This is a dream, right? Tobi and Deidara can't be real, right? Right! This is definitely a dream. She must be dreaming… 'Just keep reassuring myself…'

But she threw those thoughts away. If this was a dream, she was going to make the best out of it and have fun. But if this ends up being real, then she will have to be careful with what she does and says. They now know that she knows them. They are now demanding how she knows of the Akatsuki. They believe that she's from this world. They believe that she is a random villager; a non-ninja human.

"How do you know I'm not a ninja?" she asked slyly, pushing herself up and coughing once again due to the dust that had somehow entered her mouth. If this wasn't a dream and if this was real, then how did she get here? Would this place be another planet? No. Another world? Another...dimension?

"Us ninja can tell if a fellow person has chakra or not, un," Deidara said flatly in a matter-of-factly tone. "And I can feel that you don't have chakra, un. Therefore, you're not a ninja. Simple, un."

"Huh." I was impressed by how smart Deidara was. Although he is in an organization filled with 10 S-Ranked murderers, he, in the show, seemed a little on the 'bright side.' Meaning dumb. Stupid. But then again, my question was a little stupid as well. A stupid question for a stupid ninja equals an easy answer, really.

"So, senpai," Tobi said in an excited voice. "Are we gonna bring her to the base?"

"I already told you-" he stopped himself with a blink, looking over at Cassie. "Wait, you know our names, un. And you still haven't answered how you know that. But that doesn't matter right now. All I know is that you hold valuable information that cannot be leaked out."

Tobi cupped his hands together. "So she's coming with us to the base!"

"Yes. And she doesn't have a choice in the matter, either, un."

~along the way after dragging the girl down the path for many miles and 'almost' reaching the base~

"So…" Cassie started, a little bored. She wasn't the least bit scared about being kidnapped by the Akatsuki. To be honest, she would die happy if she ended up being killed by them. It would be an honor to know that they had once acknowledged her existence, even if that was to protect their own organization.

It had always been her dream to somehow meet ninja from the Narutoverse. Of course, she didn't know her dream would someday come true.

"So…" Deidara repeated, having nothing to say for once. No mean remarks. No rude comments. No pissed off moods. Just...bored like her.

And surprisingly enough, Tobi, of all people, was as well. He looked from Deidara and Cassie then back to Deidara before putting his hands behind his head and looking forward with a sigh. "So…"

Cassie looked down at the ground, trying to think of some questions that would fill up the uncomfortable quiet air. Then an idea struck her, she smirked as she looked up at the blonde bomber walking ahead of her, and then to the masked man beside his senpai. "Hey."

Deidara looked over his shoulder, boredly glancing over at her. "What, un?"

Cassie smirked. "'What, un?'"

Her plan was to repeat everything they said, just for fun and to annoy them. Well, her main goal was to annoy Deidara since she didn't think Tobi would get annoyed. Not at all.

"I said, what, un?" Deidara repeated, already getting a bit annoyed for having to repeat himself.

"'I said, what, un?'"

"Yeah you did, but I asked it first, un!" Deidara said. A tick mark formed on his head.

"'Yeah you did, but I asked it first, un!'"

"Ugh!" Deidara stopped in his tracks and turned around, glaring down at the sixteen year old girl. "I asked it first! Not you, un!"

"'Ugh!'" Cassie smirked. "'I asked it first! Not you, un!'"

She expected him to bash her in the skull or bomb her up right then and there, but instead, he seemed to take a step back and relax. "I see. You're just another Tobi I have to ignore." He took a deep breath and continued walked down the path.

Cassie blinked, then shrugged, following after them.

Tobi looked over at her with a laugh. "Nice one, girl! You really made Deidara-senpai angry!"

"I can tell how fun you must enjoy doing it on all those missions-" Cassie started jokingly, then quickly covered her mouth.

Deidara, up ahead, halted and turned to glare at her. "So you know our names and our actions, un! Is that so?"

"Answer me, girl!"

"...Whoops," Cassie gulped and backed away slowly.

"That's what I thought, un." Deidara walked up to her and threw her over his shoulder. "Now hurry. I have a feeling the more time we waste walking on this path with the amount of information you hold, the worse it will be when we finally reach the base."

"Put me down!" Cassie wailed, flailing her arms and legs to try and escape.

"Quiet, girl!" he hissed in response, shoving his free hand into his clay pouch and a moment later, opening his hand to reveal a miniature bird that he threw into the air and yelled, "Katsu!" The bird expanded into a giant bird which he always rides on.

Cassie, not at all impressed with the art that she has seen so many times on TV, pouted and looked away, crossing her arms. "My name is not 'girl,' it's Cassie! But call me Cass!"

"Whatever, girl," he responded, hopping onto the giant clay bird and setting her down a moment later.

After Tobi jumped up at well and sat down, his legs criss-crossed, Cassie gulped and looked up at Deidara.

Nervously, she asked, "What if I fall off when it reaches the sky?"

"Then we leave you behind to die," Deidara said, turning to her. "And how do you know this thing flies? Are you some kind of spy that spies on our organization and reports news back to your village?"

"Deidara, I'm pretty sure that if I were a spy, the Akatsuki would find out quickly," Cassie said matter-of-factly. Then she smirked. "Now, to answer your question. I'm also pretty sure that birds," she motioned to the clay animal she was on, "can fly."

Deidara blinked at his own stupidity, making Cassie smile even more. She gave Tobi a high-five after a moment of Deidara looking down at his bird and twitching in thought, probably thinking that he should keep his mouth shut before any more stupid questions escaped from it.

Cassie's POV

The bird then lifted off into the air and I screamed to my heart's content, nearly fainting when I glanced down at the ground and saw the little stubs of oak trees and patches of grasses and little gray dots for boulders and such. "I don't want to die! I don't want to die so young!" I cried out, clutching the clay and holding on for dear life.

Tobi and Deidara both gave me a weird expression.

"Oh come on, Cass-san!" Tobi said enthusiastically. "It's fun! Just stand up and let the wind brush past you!"

I gasped and looked up at the childish man, narrowing my eyes. "Hell to the no! I'd never risk my life for no reason! I would obviously get pushed off the bird from the wind and then fall to my death!

"Plus, you guys have chakra which you can easily coat on the bottom of her feet to stick to the stupid clay bird!"

"Oh…"

"'Stupid clay bird'?!" Deidara roared, scowling at my cowering figure.

"Please don't push me off," I squeaked, scooting away from him so he wouldn't get any ideas. But instead, he just grinned.

Grinned? Why, you ask?

Oh, well it's probably because I'm about to scoot right off the bird and fall to my doom.

Well, shit.

"HALP!" I screamed, flapping my arms around in the air to try and slow down my fall. Of course, in the end, that wouldn't work out that much. I'm still falling at about 70 mph right now. Damn it. Now I wish I had ninja skills!

"Please!" I begged again, shaking uncontrollably as I cast a glance down at the ground. It was coming closer, and closer, and closer… "Deidara, you Goddamned son of a-"

"Now that's no way for a little girl to speak to a criminal like me, un."

A pair of arms reached out and wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to them until I could feel the clay bird under my feet. I whipped around in relief and thanked Tobi a billion times for catching me, but once I saw Deidara's smug look, I stomped right onto his toes and marched away in anger. That damn bomber! How could he wait that long to save me? I could've had a heart attack before dying from smashing into the rocks down below.

But with a sigh, I realized that I should thank him, too, for saving me. No matter how long it took, all that mattered was that I was still safe on the bird, thanks to Deidara making up his mind to ride over to me. Glancing over, I opened my mouth and sighed out, "Thanks, Deidara. I know you said earlier that if I fell, you would leave me to die. And I actually believed it. But in the end, you saved me."

"Yeah, yeah, un." The blonde brushed off, glaring down at his stubbed toe. Then a moment later, he steered his bird back forward and continued his way to the base. After a few minutes, I thought back earlier when he mentioned that they were close to the base. But now it's been a half hour and there were still no signs of the base.

But then again, that was for Deidara and Tobi to decide. I myself had no idea what their current base looked like since they moved all the time so their location would never be revealed and ambushed.

"So, when are we going to reach the base?" I asked after another minute of silence. Currently, I was seated near the center of the bird's back, my arms wrapped around Tobi's leg. Thankfully, the childish masked man didn't seem to mind. He was busy looking over the bird most likely trying to find the base.

"Right now, un."

I blinked and cautiously crawled up Tobi's leg, trying to stand up to see for myself. A second later, I furrowed my brow in confusion and slight disbelief.

"An abandoned village?"

Down below was a large dark patched clearing with dense woods surrounding it. It seemed really hidden, which was impressive, but when you look harder, you can make out the stone and wood ruins of a very large village. Almost half of the buildings were knocked over into stone rubble, and some of the remaining stood tall and study. But the rest looked like it was on the verge of collapsing any second.

I blinked when the two Akatsuki members turned to look at me, Deidara's expression was in shock, and I'm guessing Tobi's was, too.

"How did you know our base was in an abandoned village?" Deidara demanded, the most amount of suspicion throughout their first meeting firing in his showing eye.

After a moment of waiting for him to say his was kidding, I blinked and looked down at the village, then back up to him. "...You're joking, right?"

"Of course, not!" Deidara threw his arms into the air. "How the heck did you get all this information about us?"

"Deidara, keep that stupid mouth of yours shut for once and think before you speak."

Tobi, who had been standing there in silence for the whole exchange, finally raised his arms as well and happily said, "Deidara-senpai! I think she's talking about the village on top of our base!"

"Oh, you mean she wasn't talking about the underground village after all, un?"

"Nope! It's kind of obvious once you figure that out. Now you look kind of stupid, senpai…"

Deidara glared at his partner, but kept silent. Instead, he lowered the bird onto the ground and hopped off, immediately grabbing my arm and yanking it with him as he made his way through the thick woods and finally into the large clearing where the village sat destroyed.

"So...there's another village under this one?" I squeaked, looking at the village in shock. "Wow. That's smart, really."

"It was all Tobi's idea, un," Deidara muttered. Said masked man ran up happily to them.

"Yeah! I'm a good boy, am I not, senpai?" Tobi asked, cupping his hands together in hope that his partner would praise him.

But the bomber simply ignored his childish partner. He raised his hand and shouted out his signature word before the clay bird, out in the distance by now, poofed out of existence. Then he tugged me forward until we reached what looked like the middle of the village. It was a little town square with a large broken statue, too damaged to be identified as what it was supposed to be, on a silver plated pedestal. It had ancient scripts carved into the plating, and neat maroon bricks circled around the pedestal.

Deidara then raised his hand and aimed his ring toward the statue. It was followed by a rumble from the earth, and I watched in shock and awe as the statue itself moved off of it's pedestal, revealing a deep, black hole carved into the ground underneath.

"Wow," I breathed, skipping up to it and looking down. The hole was big enough for three people to freely jump into it at the same time and still have enough room to land - that's how big the statue was. But after a moment of awe, I snapped back into reality and noticed something that I wished it had but it didn't. "Er...where's the ladder?"

"Ladder? There's no need for a ladder, un," Deidara said, almost in a grunt of laughter. "All we have to do is simply jump down about forty feet. That's all, un."

"That's all?!" I said in shock, looking up at Deidara as if he had gone mad. "I'd break my legs if I jumped down that hole! Heck, never mind me breaking a leg. I might as well die!"

Normal POV

"Okay, okay, un," Deidara spat, glaring down at the over exaggerating girl. "I'll just carry you with me."

After a moment of reconsidering this, Cassie finally nodded. "Fine. But if I break something, you're dead meat!"

"Says the one facing two S-Ranked criminals."

Cassie hung her head in defeat.

Tobi went first, jumping up into the air and drawing his knees to his chest while yelling, "Cannonball!"

Deidara and Cassie rolled their eyes before stepping up to the rim of the hole. Cassie gulped in fear.

"Ready, un?" Deidara asked. But without waiting for an answer, he threw her over his shoulder and jumped down. They were in mid-air for about four seconds, and in those four seconds, Cassie nearly had a heart attack.

But in the end, they landed safely, much to Cassie's relief. Deidara already started to walk along a dimly lit tunnel by wall torches, and the tunnel itself sloped downward even more into the ground. Tobi stayed behind to help the black haired 'villager' out before, together, the trio made their way through the tunnels and finally, into a large rectangular room with tiled walls, placed in fancy patterns. The floor was dark and dusty, and the whole room seemed quite vacant, much like a cave room. There were rusty iron doors every few feet on the back walls from where they had just walked in from.

Cassie blinked in shock when she started noticing the objects not lining up on the wall, but what was in the room itself. There were chewed up couches and chipped tables with little wooden stools. On one side of the room was another door, but this one was a polished iron one instead of the rusted ones back by the back wall. Then she turned her gaze to the wall parallel to the fancy door's wall to see yet another fancy door, expect this time the door was wooden.

After another minute of looking around the lightly lit up area, she sighed in relief at the comfort she felt. All she had to worry about now was about where the rest of the Akatsuki were.

And as if Deidara had read her mind, he looked over at her and pointed at the polished iron door. "We have eight more members in our organization. They're all in the meeting room right now."

"HEY GUYS!" Tobi called out suddenly, cupping his hands around the part on his mask where his mouth would be in an attempt to make his voice louder than it already was. "COME OUT! WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST RIGHT HERE WAITING FOR YOU!"

A moment later, a movement shifted on the ground and Cassie squeaked in fear, jumping back and hiding behind Deidara as Zetsu morphed out of the ground, staring right at Tobi. "We're in a meeting, Tobi. So shut that mouth of yours and-" he was cut off when he caught a glimpse of Cassie crouching behind Deidara. "Why would you bring a non-ninja into our base?"

Deidara stepped to the side and glanced down at Cassie. "She holds valuable information about us that cannot get out. I'm just doing my job and keeping our organization safe."

Zetsu looked at Cassie for a long moment before seeping back into the ground, most likely relaying this information to the leader.

'The leader' Cassie gulped, taking a step back. She suddenly had a feeling that it was about time to act serious, or she would get killed for her foolishness. "Deidara…? Can I leave now?"

"Of course not, un!" he snapped. "We're going to get all the information you have about us and kill you afterwards."

Cassie screamed and attempted to run out of the room but was stopped when she felt her hair pull backwards and herself behind pulled back into the room, the complete opposite direction she wanted to go.

"Universal Pull!"
