a deidara/ino story

Ino POV

I glared at the boy in front of me. I didn't even know his name and already I hated him.

His black cloak with red clouds blended in well with the darkness of the room. The other Akatsuki members stood behind him. "How'd i do?Un." the boy asked. A man with pointed orange hair stepped from the shadows. "Well done Deidara." he said. I tested the ropes around my wrists. Looks like I loosened them up a bit while i was struggling. As the man kneeled in front of me I gripped a kunai in the pouch on my waist. No one noticed me. I leapt up, bashing the man in his nose with my head. The others sprang into action but I managed to slip past them. "Who said small isn't powerful must be stupid." I laughed as I ran out of the room. The halls in this place were no better lit then the room I was just in. I heard the others behind me. "Ino. Come in Ino." I heard Shikamaru said through the small radio device in my ear. I placed my finger to it. "Ino here. What can I do for you?" I asked. "Where are you?" Shikamaru asked. "No clue. I was captured by Akatsuki. I managed to escape though." I replied. Shikamaru sighed. "We'll wait for you then." he said. " No. Get Naruto and head home. I'll catch up." I commanded. Shikamaru sighed again. "Fine Ino. But be careful." he ordered. I smiled. "Aren't I always?" I joked. "No." he responded flatly. Then static. One of the Akatsuki had caught up to me. His hair was black and he had the sharigan. I leapt over his arm as he swung it trying ,and failing, to catch me. Next came a fatal attempt from a blue shark looking guy. His sword struck me in the gut. I doubled over in pain allowing him to nearly catch me. I shook it off and leapt out a window ,breaking the glass. As I tumbled to the ground a familiar voice rang from the trees. Kiba ,riding Akamaru, ran at me. I reached out and grabbed his outstretched hand. He pulled me onto Akamaru's back and ran towards the cover of the trees.

Deidara's POV

I couldn't help but smile. A Leaf village ninja had just outsmarted Pein. Well she had outsmarted the entire Akatsuki. And in their own hideout too. For shame. I tried to imagine what she looked like. She kept her face covered by her Anbu mask and her hair was hidden by a hair accessory. Since she hadn't spoken a word to me I couldn't tell what she sounded like. Man, this girl was good. Akatsuki better watch their back. They might just be dealing with a master. I laughed to myself. "There I go again. Thinking about Akatsuki as if I'm not part of it." I chuckled. "What's so fing funny!! We just lost a prisoner. Who knows what the hell she can tell her village!!" Hidan yelled. I smiled. "All it takes is one girl to outsmart six Akatsuki men. I find that hilarious. Un." I replied. Hidan made a strangling gesture with his hand. "You could've helped." Kakuzu retorted. I shrugged. "I could've but I didn't feel like it. Un" was my answer. "I don't fing care. You should've helped!!" Hidan yelled. "I should've. But I didn't." I taunted. Hidan held up his hand in a strangling gesture. "One day. " I heard him say. I laughed. "Hidan. You can't even catch me. "I yelled back.
