Okay. After reading a bunch of kawaii Hina x Dei I've decided I'll do the request I got from thefullygirlalchemist. It's basically gonna be Hina x Akatsuki, but eventually said pairing. Ha I'm listening to "My Band" by Eminen. Funny and way nasty song.

So again, this story is for thefullygirlalchemist.

I hope I don't di from over exhertion. This will be the third story I'm working on and I will be leaving for camp on the 28th...Ugh. I'm totally pissed about that.

Hinata walked through the shadow carrased streets of Konoha. Normally she wouldn't be out this late, but ever since she moved out of the Hyuuga Compound, she felt free. Hinata was also more confident than ever. She had the courage to walk up to Sasuke and yell at him in his face for calling her a weakling.

Let's just say he never said anything bad about her again.

Anyways, she calmly traveled the deserted roads, no sounds were heard except for the occasional rustling of the leaves. Hinata pulled out the key to her apartment as she neared the said destination. The door creaked slightly as it was opened slowly. She sighed as Hinata plopped herself onto the couch.

She was sick of her bland life. Sure, most people would think that risking your life daily for people you don't even know half the time doesn't seem boring, but it wasn't exactly pleasant.. She wanted to leave the village that chained her to these so called "duties". They believed that it was her "duty" to die for her village and customers.

Hinata thought otherwise, hating the fact that she was thought as meerly a tool. A tool, that was all she was in this accursed place. A living hell as she would call it.

"I hate it here..." She whispered somberly to herself. Wishing she could just disappear from this life, it was granted. A man with sun stained golden hair jumped in through the window. He looked to be about 18, but Hinata assumed he was older, seeing how he was wearing an Akatsuki cloak.

"Don't even think about screaming, yeah. I'm here to bring you back to headquaters." The man said flatly. Hinata shrugged.

"Okay." Deidara's jaw would've dropped, but he was too calm and collected for that. Though he still looked shocked.

"Y-you're not gonna try t-to escape?" She shook her head.

"I was just thinking about how I wanted to leave this pathetic excuse for a village. I guess this is my escape."

"Whatever, hm. Just get on the bird already." He stated, reffering to the rather large bird hovering outside the window. Hopping onto the enormous flying animal, she realized that it was made out of clay.

Hinata was going to freak out, but saw the mouths on his hand. Her skillful brain put 2 and 2 together and figured it was his keke genkai. How right she was.

"Erm..-"

"Deidara."

"Deidara-san, why are you bringing me to the Akatsuki headquarters?"

He scratched his head. "When did I tell you that's where we are going, yeah?"

"You told said headquarters earlier and you're wearing an Akatsuki cloak." She pointed out blankly. He felt a bit stupid, but nontheless answered her question.

"We were told to recrute shinobi with useful keke genkai. Yours is-"

"The Byakuugan." He nodded. "I see." She licked her lips. "Sounds interesting. So...Is it fun to be a member of the Akatsuki?"

"Yeah, I suppose it is if you like killing. If you don't, then you will be either tramatized or killed. If you hesitate at anytime, you will die, hn."

"I've actually never tried killing. I've been on missions, but none involved homocide." She smirked. "But I have a feeling I will like it." Deidara smiled.

"That will make the membership that much easier." Deidara had to swirve the clay figure to avoid hitting a tree, making Hinata loose balance and fall into is lap. He smirked. "Didn't know you liked me that much, yeah." Slightly blushing, she sat up and ajusted her jacket.

"We're here." Deidara said breathlessly. A large boulder with a single seal on it was before them. A gigantic, red gate was built infront of the rock, but behind them as of now. Forming a handsign, the stone shifted out of Deidara's path. "Stay near me. If we get seperated, you will die." Hinata gulped before running up towards Deidara and clinging to his arm.

A hidden figure stepped from the shadows, showing nothing but his luminescent eyes. "Deidara, you have brought a suitable member for me?"

Deidara motioned for Hinata to step forward. "Hai, Leader-sama. Hyuuga Hinata, a strong konoichi that possess the Byakuugan."

Leader quirked an eyebrow. The Byakuugan. A most useful keke genkai. With it, Akatsuki will continue to gain power. "Wonderful work, Deidara. I am impressed." With that, Leader left the room.

Deidara let out a held breath. "Thank Kami, I was worried he would be displeased." Hinata cocked her head to the side. "Oh, that was Leader-sama. Some advice, don't talk to him unless he requests or if it's urgent. Obey all orders and rules given. Consequenses here are very serious and leave you near death most of the time."

Hinata nodded her head slowly, trying to overcome the chills in her spine. "Ano, where will I be staying." Deidara turned his head, cheeks slightly pink.

"About that...we have a shortage of rooms...you'll be staying with me." Hinata just nodded, retaining a cool composure. Although, inside she was blushing profusely and screaming.

Hinata yawned. Looking at the clock, she decided she wanted to go to bed. It was 2:30 a.m. and she was tired. "Whatever...I'm going to bed." With that she started to walk towards the stairs, but stopped. "Erm, where is our room?"

"Upstairs, second door on the right." Hinata thanked him before lazily dragging her body up the stairs. Deidara decided to wait until the next day to introduce her to the other members.

Okay, time for the middle of the chapter thing. I will be making longer chapters for now and putting two one. This may mean a longer wait, but hey, you get more of the story.

Disclaimers are boring so I'm gonna do it in a flashy way.

(smiles) If you accuse me of owning Naruto in any way, shape, or fashion, I will personally kill you! (thumbs up) Have a nice day.

Nah, kidding about the killing part...or am I? (I just had to write it)

The next morning, all the Akatsuki members awoke to a delicious scent lingering in the air. Deidara noticed Hinata was no longer sleeping next to him, so he decided to begin the day. Slipping on his cloak, he walked out of his comfort zone and began walking towards the kitchen.

Apparently so did every other Akatsuki member. In a matter of minutes, the kitchen was filled with hungery criminals, practically tasting the exuberant smells elluminating from the pan in which Hinata was cooking breakfast.

Within ten minutes, Hinata served potato croquettes, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), miso soup, pickled daikon radish, cucumber, cabbage, and umeboshi (sour plum).(A/N This is a traditional japanese breakfast if it sounds strange to you) Kisame, Zetsu, and Tobi ate their meals quickly, barely leaving so much as a crumb. Deidara and Sasori ate very slowly, savoring the taste. Itachi, Hidan, and Kakuzu ate like normal people and finished at a normal speed.

Hinata had ate slowly as well, but not so much as for the flavor, but so she could feel herself get full. It was never good to train after eating gluttunously.

Afterwards, Hinata washed the dishes and did the many neglected chores.

- La Dee Da - La Dee Da - La Dee Da - La Dee Da -

Hinata gave a accomplished sigh as she oraginized the cleaning utensils, putting them in their correct place. Just as she finished, Deidara and everyone else walked in.

"Sorry, Hinata-chan. I didn't introduce you to everyone else yet." He notioned to a man with gorgeous, silky hair in a low ponytail and endless midnight colored eyes. "Itachi." A man with pale blue skin that look rough to the touch and what seemed to be gills on his face. "Kisame." A man that appeared to be a Venus Flytrap with a split personality. "Zetsu." A childish looking boy with fire-red hair and stoic crimson eyes to match. "Sasori no danna." A kid-like man that wore a swirly orange mask. His I.Q. seemed to be as small as his maturity level. "And finally Tobi."

Hinata clasped her hands together and mustered up a warm smile. "I am pleased to meet you all. I hope we can become acquaintances very soon!" If not for their emotionless years of the ninja life, they all would have blushed. Tobi being, well, Tobi ran up to her, hugging her tightly.

"Tobi is happy that Hinata-chan is Tobi's friend! Tobi is a good boy and will be nice to you!" Tobi practically yelled in Hinata's ear.

Escaping from the bone-crushing hug, Hinata said, "I believe that Tobi is a good boy. Now be a good boy and go play with this." Hinata handed him a yoyo. Tobi's eyes sparkled as he took the gift and ran off to his room. "Whew, glad he's gone. It would have been troublesome if he had stayed, ne?" They all just stood there, amazed that she found a way to keep the king of all that is annoying occupied.

"We've been trying to do that for years..." Kisame said, stunned.

"Well, just give him something a child likes to do. It's that simple." Hinata replied, grinning. "Now, are we gonna train, or what." They all mumbled things that sounded like 'I don't wanna' and lazily stomped outside to the training grounds.

Heyys! I hope it was long enough for ya! ;P I'M GONNA BE AWAY AT SUMMER CAMP FOR TWO WEEKS!!! I leave Saturday. I really don't wanna go but alas I have to. I will be computer deprived and not able to update. I'm so sorry. I will update all my stories before I leave!!!
