Introductions, warnings, and other crud-
First of all, there may be spoilers, since this is set later in the series's timeline it's gonna have them. It's set right after the Hidan and Kakuzu arch. so. yeah. *Spoiler* Asuma, Hidan, and Kakuzu, are dead. well. Ok Hidan is just buried. No events that happen afterword happen in the fanfic tho. So it's Kinda AU.

Onto the introduction.
Wow, it's been AGES since I wrote anything...I probably still suck at it to. and this computer don't have microsoft word so it's anoying. Anyway, there aren't enough DeidaraxHinata fanfic's with a happy ending. So I got it in my head to make one. There will be OOC'ness on Deidara's part and possible the others aswell. I'll try my best to keep them somewhat in character. This is also my first time writing in POV style. I hope I did ok.

summary: Deidara is given a simple enough mission, spy on the Kunoichi of the leaf, but what does that mission become when he starts developing an interest in on of his targets? DeixHina fanfic, may also contain other couples.

onward with the story~~~


Deidara's POV

It was a pretty nice day, the sun was out, there was a pleasant breeze, it wasn't too hot either. But that didn't make the ridiculous job I had to do any more fun...Watch the damn leaf Kunoichi...of all the stupid jobs I've ever taken after being forced to join the Akatsuki... this had to be one of the lamest. But there I was, in a tree a little off from where three of the four I was to watch were sitting in a field chatting about who knows what. It was boring as hell to say the least. I laid down in the tree for a moment. Taking my eyes off of them to look at the cloudy blue sky...I'd soon find out this was not one of my better ideas.

Hinata's POV.

It was a beautiful day and the grass was blowing. I was talking with Ino and Tenten in a rather awkward conversation about boys... I was determined to keep it on the boys that they were interested in though, before they started asking about me. It was quite successful really, till we got up to go back to Konoha...

"So...Hinata," I heard Tenten start...I could only fear what was to come. "you ever gonna confess to him"?

Yup, just as I thought...I stumbled for words and as usual, I failed... "EH? C-confess? To..to who would I c-c-confess to?" I blurted out, rather patheticaly. Really, sometimes I wish I could be a little more like Neji...instead of being so shy. But that was NOT going to happen anytime soon.

"C'mon," She continued, nudjing me, "We all know your totally in love with Naruto, well, all 'cept for the dense blockhead himself." she laughed.

Well...there went my plans of not being drug into this convo, right out the window. Of course, I had to say something to this, and I was gonna fail no matter. I decided to just say whatever came to mind when I opened my mouth, to save myself some pointless thinking on the matter."I-I don't know what you're talking about!" I put my hands in front of my face nervously,trying to hide the blush I knew covered my face. Wow...denial. That was sad. Surely there had been a better way of answering than THAT I thought, mentally kicking myself. And that wasn't the end either, Tenten absolutely loved to tease me about this kinda stuff. I braced myself when...

"Tenten, stop teasing her, you know she's super shy."

Thank god for Ino. I sighed in relief as our short journey back to Konoha's gate came to an end, with far less teasing then I'd expected.

"Hey, look Hinata, I'm sorry" Tenten broke the silence with an apologetic look on her face. "I know I tend to go overboard, but I just can't help it, How about we all go to Ichiraku for lunch, and I pay?"

A bit surprised at this, I considered for a moment before declining...or well, TRYING to decline, her offer. "Oh no, i-it's quite fine, you don't ha-"

"No buts about it!" She interrupted, dragging me over to Ichiraku and telling Teuchi not to let me pay.

We chatted for a while there too. Ino had even invited Sakura, who seemed rather glad for an excuse for a little break, apparently Tsunade was going a bit hard on her lately. I giggled a bit.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Sakura looked at me with a quizzical look.

"Oh, nothing, just...it, it's been awhile since we've all hung out together." That, I swear, was one of the calmest sensible remarks I'd made that day.

"Yeah, now that I think of it, it has been awhile, huh?" She grinned. "Hey, hey!" Lets go hang out at the Dango shop for a little desert while we're all together!"

"Yeah! with all the training Gai has been putting me through, I haven't even got to go there lately. I'm in!" Tenten quickly Payed for the Ramen, respectively both hers and mine, and got up to follow Sakura to the Dango shop.

"Hey! Forehead, don't forget about me!" Ino yelled teasingly at Sakura,

Those two sure got along well. I giggled quietly, before following them to the shop.

Deidara's POV

I heard the sound of birds chirping, it was rather comfortable, I just wanted to lay there forever in the nice, peaceful, QUIETNESS. Yeah. It's noisy as hell at the base, and..my new 'partner', was an annoying brat who acted like he was five friggin' years old. Can't blame me for enjoying the peace, really, it was a rarity. But wait...
"Shit." I said aloud to no-one in particular. "I fell asleep...un"
Nice.
Real nice.
Not only did I fall asleep while on a mission. The 3 Kunoichi, who it was my mission to spy on, were no where to be found. 'Damn...they must have gone back to Konoha...' I mentally kicked myself as I'd now have to search the entire town. And, actually, if I planned on coming out without 50 friggin' Anbu on my tail, I'd better go get a half decent disguise. Why hadn't I thought of that earlier? I swear my partners stupidity is wearing off on me... So back I went, to the little worn down house I'd been staying at near the outskirts of Konoha.
I slipped on some gloves, as much as it annoyed me, for obvious reasons, then put on a more casual outfit, ditched the robe, and hid my Akatsuki ring. Then of course there's my hairstlye...I really wasn't keen on changing it. But I knew that they had some info on me, and I was in no position to risk getting caught.
I separated my bangs, so they'd go out to both sides, took of my eye scope and put it in my pocket, then proceeded to putting the rest of my hair in a low ponytail. Looking in a mirror, I actually admit this disguise was pretty damn good. Hell, I could probably walk through the front gates like this. And that's exactly what I did.

'Wow, they're security sucks, the entire Akatsuki could get in here before they even knew what was going on' I thought smugly to myself, unable to stop from laughing aloud.

Now for the fun part. I had to find them.
I figured being midday, they'd probably be eating, hanging out. It was there day of after all, a fact that I had discovered yesterday. So I started checking the food shops. And soon enough, I found them. Sitting inside a Dango shop, chatting away. Seriously, is that all girls do? Chat all day? Deciding that wasn't worth wasting thought on, I casually walked closer, obviously no one recognized me, so I was in the clear and had quite a bit of freedom to move about. As I approached the shop, I debated whether I should watch from afar, or go in and order something for myself, Sakura was my only worry really, she'd seen me in person a number of times, and I wasn't sure I wanted to risk her finding me out.

I decided to risk it after all though, as it was possibly the only chance I'd get to actually listen in on them for a while. I had ordered some dango and was eating slowly while listening to them, not that I expected anything good at this point, Tenten had just been rambling on about Neji for the past several minutes.
I was really starting to get bored after 10 more minutes had past, and they had moved on to talk about what's under Kakashi's mask, now this, I admit, had me a bit interested. I'd seen the said Jonin around, and fought him, I won't lie to being a little curious as to what he was hiding, but still, this information was hardly useful.
I sighed, wondering what had possessed Leader to send me on this mission in the first place, what did he hope to gain from four Chunin Kunoichi? Now maybe, just maybe Sakura would be useful, but I highly doubt she'd go telling the Hokage's secrets to her friends in public. Why not just capture one? I wondered about this for what seemed like ages before being startled by one of the Kunoichi standing up suddenly and knocking a chair over.

"F-Fine! I-I WILL c-c-confess to him, just you all watch!" he heard Hinata say, before, apparently, realizing that she'd just made a scene, and had then slunk back to her seat and attempted to hide her bright red face from onlookers.

This one was interesting.

I just sat there and stared at her for awhile. I had pinned her as shy, this behavior was quite the opposite of what I'd expected. I started to think, maybe, just maybe, this mission could be fun after all.

Hinata's POV

I had just yelled out loud I was going to confess. God...Help me. what am I gonna do. I thought for quite awhile when I noticed...he was staring at me. A blond man sitting a few tables away with a dango in his hand, just staring straight at me. Judging by his appearance, he was just a normal citizen, but, something about him told me there was more to him then that, alot more. And why was he wearing gloves to eat dango? Odd fashion sense he has there. Wait, what time to I have to think about a stranger, this was a serious bind I just put myself in! I freaking promised I was going to confess! Where on earth is my brain today? Or even a little common sense? I leaned onto the table, face-planting into it. Tomorrow...was gonna be a long day.


Well, that's it, what do you think? Due to the error. I have the next 2 chapters done already. so I'll upload them soon xD.
