Off the Beaten Path

By: Silverwolf

Patrol was slow and Kurotsuchi was growing completely bored. In the darkness there wasn't very much to be found within Iwa. Honey blonde reflects in the moonlight causing the girl on patrol to run in search of what she hopes she saw.

Kurotushi leaves the border of Iwa in silence. Off the beaten path and settled down briefly for the night is exactly who she thought she saw. Deidara couldn't have been sleeping long. Cobalt eyes open as the blonde's ears hear a howl. With a stretch Deidara places his arm back under his head and closes his eyes again.

Kurotsuchi pinches her own arm only to yelp in pain. Crystal eyes open swiftly. Kurotsuchi sinks back some. Deidara looks around. "What the heck, yeah." Kurotsuchi grins happily. Pink eyes tear a bit as she slowly steps forward. She didn't expect to be pulled from her feet as swift as it happened though. It seemed Deidara's guard was set extremely high.

The blonde holds the girl pinned under him. "Deidara-nii." Kurotsuchi watches the grin spread slowly. "ain't you a sight now, yeah." Kurotuschi giggles a bit. It only becomes louder when she feels Deidara's hair against her skin. "It's been a long time Deidara." The reply the female gets is a lazy grin. The girl remains pinned under the blonde until Deidara lets her get to her feet. "you do that on purpose." Deidara looks at her playfully annoyed, "what'd be the fun in that, hmm."

Kurotsuchi laughs at the comment. Deidara snatches her out of the cleared path at the sound of others from Iwa's night patrol. Kurotsuchi takes the moment to place herself back against Deidara. "I heard you're with the Akatsuki." Deidara nods. "Did you choose to join them?" Deidara tilts his head, "long story, yeah." Kurotsuchi gives a slightly confused look. "Well make it a short one." The blonde grins at Kurotsuchi, "lost a fight, got stuck there, his name is Uchiha Itachi. Don't worry I'm gonna beat him, yeah." Kurotsuchi shakes her head placing her around tightly around Deidara. "I've missed you like hell, you know that?"

Deidara makes a face, "I do now, yeah." Kurotsuchi glares at the blonde. Deidara laughs some. Kurotsuchi hits the blonde lightly, "don't laugh at me. It's not funny." The honey blonde hair that once sat freely around Deidara's shoulder falls forward as the blonde lowers his head, seeming to be hurt. Pink eyes go wide as Kurotsuchi believes she's actually harmed the blonde. "I'm so sorry."

Deidara raises his head and sticks his tongue out at the female. Kurotsuchi makes a face as she realizes the blonde is teasing her. She playfully hits Deidara. The blonde responds by acting as if Kurotsuchi has killed him, complete with a fall to the ground. Kurotsuchi blinks and then looks towards the ground. "I hope you plan to stay there."

The girl meeps as she's pulled to the ground next to Deidara. The blonde smirks lightly and pins her to the ground. Kurotsuchi responds by acting as if Deidara is hurting her. When the blonde gives her space, obviously concerned Kurotsuchi pounces Deidara. The blonde smirks lightly.

Kurotsuchi looks at Deidara. "I know there's no way for you to come home, but I really miss you." Deidara closes his eyes, "just say it, yeah." Kurotsuchi tilts her head, "say what?" The blonde moves causing Kurotsuchi to slide to the side of him, "say how you feel. It's easier, yeah. And you now guard the Kage." Kurotsuchi places her head against Deidara's shoulder. "You remember when we were still training to be shinobi?" The blonde nods lightly, "and now we are. Both on different paths, yeah." Kurotsuchi sighs, " yet you looked out for me throughout training like you knew me. And you didn't. But you were a sculpting prodigy who had to do more than just sculpt." Deidara grins, "because art is a BANG." Kurotsuchi laughs. She's surprised at how immature the blonde acts around her. Though at the same time Kurotushi could've been acting like the same scared girl still training to be a shinobi. It seemed that time had't changed what she thought she felt for Deidara only made her desire stronger.

Deidara looks at Kurotsuchi, "shouldn't you be worried about the old man, yeah. Aren't you his guard?" Kurotsuchi shrugs, "I should be taking you into custody to be tried for your crimes as a member of the Akatsuki." Deidara places his forehead against Kurotsuchi's own. "You can't do it, hmm." Kurotsuchi laughs at the blonde until her pink eyes lock onto the crystal pair in front of her. Kurotsuchi moves forward slightly. Deidara moves back a bit and then stares at the female. The pair stare some and seem to inch forward periodically during that time. Kurotsuchi's lips brush against his. The blonde doesn't react at first. Deidara only blinks. Kurotsuchi turns away slowly. The blonde grabs the girl a bit harshly. Deidara pins her against a tree a bit roughly. Kurostuchi grins. Deidara's lips meet Kurostuchi's own briefly before the pair hear someone calling.

The blonde grins a bit and slowly moves away. Kurotsuchi moves forward kissing Deidara a bit forcefully. The blonde continues the kiss as the calling starts to get closer. Deidara pushes Kurotsuchi into the shadows. "Tomorrow, promise, yeah." Kurotsuchi sighs a bit as she watches Deidara disappear.
