Hey ya'll! This is the first fan fiction I've ever shown anyone and I'm hoping you all like it. Thx!

Ok. So, since this is my first story, I will only start with one chapter and either add on if I like it or if people seem to think it's a good jump-start into a good story. So give your opinion plx!

My story starts off with Deidara running through the woods surrounding Iwa, thinking to himself. This story has the main idea of some of the Akatsuki's past but I changed a lot of it (a lot). Deidara is just 8 at this time.

Okay, enough boring author junk. Time to WRITE/READ!!!

p.s. #3: I might have to make up some jutsus for some people… sry…

Chapter 1: Chosen

Deidara continued to run. He was growing tried and could feel his chakra depleting. He had been running all night with the stranger he had meet (or, rather, been kidnapped by). He raised his head to pay attention to where he was jumping and noticed something wet on his face. 'A tear?' Deidara thought to himself as he raised his arm to wipe it away. This was not uncommon for him to cry by himself. But why should he be crying? "Oh yeah…" Deidara said out loud. "That."

Deidara had just returned from the ninja academy. Today, he had passed the exam to become a ninja. All of the other children's parents congratulated their children and blessed them with promises of feasts. Deidara, however, came back to an empty home. No feast for him. No loving hugs from his family. His parents weren't there, and they never would be. They left him long ago.

He looked at the mouths on his hands. They were the idiotic reason.

He walked into the kitchen and took a quick swig of milk straight from the jug like guys did in the movies. He pulled out his high ponytail and sat down on the sofa, when he felt his eyelids shut.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He woke in the arms of a dark figure. His or her run was fast and he could here shouts of a cloaked figure running through the village with a blond haired girl in their arms. 'Ugh… Not this again…' Deidara thought to himself.

"I'M A BOY!" he shouted out loud, and diffidently not on purpose.

The stranger looked down at him with an annoyed look and put a very feminine hand on his forehead, and he intently fell unconscious.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For the second time, he woke with a stranger. There was a fire between them and Deidara noticed a thin blanket had been put over him with a soft package of some sort under his head wrapped in brown paper.

He considered sitting up, but remembered what had happened when he spoke last time. The stranger had a dark, hooded cloak on that hid all of their eyes.

"You can sit up. I won't bite," said a voice that fit the hand he felt earlier. Deidara slowly sat up into a sitting position and looked at the stranger. 'Why is she being nice? No. I can't say that yet. I'm a ninja. I can't underestimate her.'

While Deidara was doing all of his thinking, the girl seemed to smirk. "Gee, Deidara. I knew you were quiet but not this quiet!"

The kidnapper turned toward him and slowly lowered her hood. "I'm your sister, Misa, Deidara."

Deidara had just stared at her in shock, and still did sometimes. She did kind of look like him. Misa had dark Blue eyes, angular facial features, and the same long blond hair, but her's was pulled back in a in a high pony tail and had several crimson streaks in it.

Misa said that his family was in trouble and he had to help, using those special hands of his. Deidara still wasn't sure why he was going to help his traitor family, but she said she would kill him if he didn't help them. He said that if she needed him so much, that she wouldn't dare hurt him. But she lunged at him and put a katana to his throat. "I can and will kill you if you don't help." She dropped the sword and then started to run again.

Deidara sighed at the memory of the yesterday. He could see the sun rising above the horizon. Suddenly all of the running and working got to him. He plummeted from the trees and collapsed on the forest floor, unable to move.

Misa jumped down from the trees and kneeled down beside him. He tried to turn his head to see her, but it felt as though a cement block was on his head. His hair was knotted and sprayed out around his body from where he had forgotten to tie it back up. His clothing was muddy and torn by some of the tree's branches.

"Ugh… Deidara. What have you done to yourself now? Used up all that precious chakra? Tsk, tsk, tsk." She pulled Deidara into her arms and had started running again. "You have 6 hours to heal up. Then we have to go save Mom and Dad." She said with a smile on her face. 'How is she so happy right now? She's carrying me, her backpack, and that small brown package.' Deidara thought.

Deidara had drifted in and out of sleep while being carried by Misa. He was starting to believe that she might really be his sister. She seemed to love him...

He dreamed about what a real family would be like. He dreamed of coming home to a happy mother how would kiss his cheek and rub his back when he had nightmares. He dreamed of a father who would read to him from the newspaper and books. He dreamed of coming home at night and not going to bed alone but rather to be with someone, anyone that loved him.

A few hours later, Deidara was able to run, but Misa still carried him. "You need to keep up your chakra if you're going to help me save Mom and Dad!" They had stopped at a small café to get some dango and green tea and were back to running.

"Misa," Deidara started, but then didn't know what he was going to ask.

"What is it, Deidara?" She replied, with an almost worried look on her face. "Do you feel sick? I think there's a vill-"

"No, I don't feel sick, but, what happened to Mom and Dad?" He had decided to call them that, not knowing what else to call them.

Misa sighed, then said, "Mother and Father are Johnin. They went on a mission to Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, but were mistaken as enemy nin. They have been captured by the Village's ABNU. They are being held captive in an underground interrogation center, and it's our job to go save them!"

"I see," Deidara said, taking in this new information. "When did they leave me? Was it because of my hands? How old are you, Misa?"

The teenager laughed. "I am 17. We left you soon after you were born, when I was 9. The doctor said you had died at birth and, in grief; we headed out to be roaming nin. We discovered you were alive when we came back to town for a day. Ever since then, we've been coming back to check on you. We didn't come speak to you because it would endanger you and ourselves. In Iwa's eyes, we are missing nin, and you being seen around us would have gotten you killed for treachery."

"How did you know it was me that was your brother?"

Misa had a moment of pause. She knew this question would come up, but not this early on. She hadn't thought of an answer yet! "I'll tell you after w find Mom and Dad."

Deidara looked mad at that but let it go. She had to admit the boy was smart, but she couldn't let him find out the real reason he was chosen.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So plx tell me what you guys think of it!!!! And sorry for the shortness. I just loose attention if I try to make it to long.

Next time, Deidara travels more with Misa and discovers the power of these "useless" hands. And does Misa have a secret plan for him?!? Hmm… Oh well! It'll all come in good time! (Even I don't know if she does! I'm practicing improvising! :3
