Okay so here's the deal this is a side-by-side story for my other story 'And this is my story' this story's going to be told from Deidara's point of view but in the early chapters it may switch back and forth with Naoki as does 'And this is my story' but I'm going to try not to repeat myself too much in the stories; but enjoy it; you'll see in way later chapters why I did this!

Disclaimer: Yeah still own nothing!


The room was dimly lit up, and the air hung heavy with the dusty smell of old musk, making my lungs feel like they weighed ten times heavier.

"So have we located her?" The leaders deep voice seemed to boom off the walls, not that he was loud or angry, his voice just demanded respect, and more likely than not fear, but I suppose it would have to, if you wanted to run a group of S-Rank criminals.

"Yes leader-sama, un." I'd only just joined the Akasuki about 6 months ago; well not so much did I chose to join but rather was forced, but it's not horrible, there are times when I miss my old life but I have a feeling things about to get way better.

"Leave when you're ready then."

"Yes leader-sama, un." I turned to head back out the heavy wooden doors, as I heard leader speak up again, mental groaning in my head I turned back to face him, really I just wanted to leave already.

"Deidara, bring her straight to my office when you get back."

"Yes leader-sama, un." Why he would want to see her was beyond me, he said I could pick anyone I wanted and I knew right away who it would be, she was always on my mind, I just wish I could have been there with her when she had needed me so many years ago; I was always with her, not in that creepy stockier way or anything, I was just keeping a promise I made to her father some 12 years ago. It was the same day I met his daughter, when he walked me back to my mother's house he made me promise to stay by Naoki's side when they no longer could.

Making it back to my room, which was down the corridor that the rest of the members rooms were, all but Pein's and Konan's room that is, I let myself fall backwards to my bed my hands resting behind my head, I started thinking of all the ways she could react to me; whether it be happy, sad, confused, or even angry I don't think I'll mind as long as she remembers me just as long as she does that, that's all I want.

Breaking myself away from my day dreams of her, as I jumped off the bed and began to pack a few things I might need, mostly clay and a few other odds and ends. As I shut and locked my door, I figured I might as well tell Sasori and Kaede I'm leaving. Stepping in front of their door I knocked 3 times, and waited for them to call me in, trust me just barging into their room wasn't something you wanted to do, if Sasori didn't try to kill you with one of his puppets, then Kaede would defiantly poison you, the two went well together Sasori made and fought with the puppets while Kaede was a Medical Nin and she would also makes poison to dip all of Sasori's weapons in.

"Come in." Finally I felt like I'd been waiting hours standing there staring holes into the rich dark wood of their door. Stepping into their shared room, quickly take note to the fact that Kaede looked like she want to murder me, I should make this quick;

"I'm leaving, un."

"Is it already time?"

"Yeah, un." I said nodding my head for extra emphasis;

"Well why are you still here, go already." He wasn't saying it to be mean, but I'd been telling him all about her since Pein said since I finally became a full member I could have my own "toy" was what he called it.

"Right, I'm heading out then, un." The entire bye I got from those two was a nod of the head and a flash of a wave; when I reached the exit of the hideout, I took to the skies and headed towards the Village Hidden in the Leafs.

A few hours later I reached the small village by the border of Konoha, where Zetsu said her mission would lead her, hovering over the pathetic village I focused my scope to zoom in to see if I could spot her, after about 3 hours I was livid, frustrated with searching for her I figured I missed her and had to take this aggression out on something, then I thought 'my art sure would nice all over this dinky little shithole, un.'



Alright so I'm trying to keep it at the same time line as its sister story, so first chapters short. And if you don't already I highly recommend reading 'And this is my story' alongside this one to really get the full effect. Alright well I'll update soon since I'm taking my last examine for the semester today!
