They sat in wait, watching their target. 5'3", jet black hair, elegantly held up in artistic curls with only a small amount left as bangs hanging to her left, though not covering her ice blue eyes. She wore a black kimono styled dress, strapless it clung around her B-cup breasts perfectly. Unlike the majority of the people here she only wore one small item of jewellery, a locket made of some black metal with a strange insignia carved into the front of it. It was this item that confirmed this was indeed the girl they were looking for, and also gave the two ninja another reason to keep staring at her boobs. Though you couldn't really blame them, they had been sent on this mission, where they had to loose their ninja attire, get dressed up in some snobby kimono and leave their weapons behind. Though of coarse the blonde had managed to sneak a small pouch of his signature clay in. They were bored out of their mind's after the first ten minuets never mind waiting for three hours, but Leader-sama said this mission called for finesse not force. Otherwise this place would have been blown to bits, and she would have been dragged out kicking and screaming if necessary.
"Another hmm" The blonde but his empty glass down on the bar. At least they had some perks, Kakuzu had been made to give them a very generous amount of cash, how else were they meant to fit into the most exclusive gambling club in the whole of the five countries.
"For fuck sake Deidara, how much longer is this going to take" Deidara's less patient partner, Hidan, hisses as he waves for another drink.
The blonde ignores the comment and glances into the mirror to the side of him to check on the target, still on the same table as when they came in, same bored expression on her face. All that had changed was the was now three empty vodka bottles next to her, if she ever does leave that table not letting this escalate into a fight could be very difficult. Though it would be better if the two most destructive, impatient and some would say idiotic members weren't the ones sent out.
I glance down at my cards, *would you look at that, a flush* looking up I look at my opponents, scrutinizing every movement of their body and faces. *defiantly a winning hand* I smile to myself before something catches my attention from the other side of the room, and it wasn't for the first time tonight
"Hikari?" the dealer questions.
"Fold" I lay the cards face down and stand up from the table for the first time in the night. Now I was certain, they hid their reactions fairly well but there was no mistaking it I was being watched, and had been for a long time. It wasn't your normal drunk trying to get a peek either, these two were up to something. Without hesitation and haste I left the room in the exit furthest from the pair.
"Finally" the jashinist rolled his eyes as the doors shut behind the girl. The pair paid the bar tender and followed her route out of the casino. Outside the casino is a lightly lit garden, a couple of square acres at least, large fountain, and thousands of flowers brought here from across the whole five countries. But she was no where in sight.
"Fuck sake, where's she gone now" Hidan shouts to the foliage.
*well they can't be assassins, or at least not good ones* I shake my head as I watch them from a window sill only one floor up. *idiots* I roll my eyes, before jumping down from my hiding spot, landing silently behind them.
"Who are you? And what the fuck do you want?" I hiss, causing them to jump slightly though they hid it well. The Blonde opens his mouth to speak, but I cut in. "I can tell from your matching rings you're from some kind of organisation looking to assassinate or recruite me…or a gay couple looking for a threesome" I laugh slightly as their faces drop at the gay comment.
"The recruitment one" the ivory haired one almost shouts, a small vein pulsing on his forhead.
"Well, that's a touchy subject" I muter under my breath, receiving a glare from the two men. "What makes you think I'd be interested in joining whatever pathetic group you are part of anyways?"
"Most people wouldn't say the Akatsuki are a 'pathetic group, yeah" the blonde smirks.
"The Akatsuki?" I question.
The two look rather dumbstruck at my ignorance.
"The Akatsuki, the most feared group in the whole five countries."
I just slowly shake my head from side to side.
"Consisting of S-ranked missing ninja from more than seven different hidden villages" the blonde continues to try and jog your memory.
"Sorry, means nothing to me. Now if you would kindly piss off I need to get back to my game." I turn heel to head back to the door.
"No fucking way" A strong hand grabs my shoulder stopping me from moving any further, and causing my brow to instantly furrow. "We've travelled four bloody days to get here, there's no fucking way we're leaving till you heal us and agree to leave with us"
"Ahh, so that's it, you want a new medic." I turn around anger still clear in my eyes as I stare into the pink eyes of the bastard that dared to shout at me. "Well tough shit, I gave that up a long time ago. Go find some other sucker to heal your little boo-boos, I've got better things to do."
The bastard looks ready to blow his top, as he blonde just smiles then does a over the top sigh. "Oh well Hidan, I guess it's time for us to leave. Yeah"
"WHAT!"
"It's obvious she's not coming with us. Probably couldn't hack it anyways, we need a expert healer remember. Maybe that guy from, house of healing would be a better pic? hmm What you think" The blonde smirks at his partner, who smirks back.
"Excuse me" I stomp towards the cocky blonde. "There never has been, and never will be a better healer on this planet than me" I snap, prodding him in the chest. He just laughs.
"Then this would be no problem for you then" the blonde smacks his partner in the stomach causing him to double over.
"WHAT THE FUCK, THIS TIME I'L-"
"Of coarse I fucking can" I answer Deidara cutting off Hidan's ranting. "Follow me" I turn and take off up the side of the building, not noticing the smirks plastered on the two akatsukis faces as I jump from sill to sill till I reach a balcony at the very top.
