Hey guys! :)
Look, I know there have been tones of "truth or dare" style fanfics before, so please don't start telling me how I copied your idea. For anyone who actually came up with said idea on their own, you are AMAZING. And I hug you for being so awesome. XD
Anyways… I'm pretty sure everyone knows how this works. You all get the chance to make any character from Naruto do (or say) whatever you want! It's the chance of a lifetime, and I need all of your help to make it come true. You can even dare me, if you like!
So click on the review button and send in your ideas! Or, if you want to make them even more surprising, send them to me by e mail! I'm really hoping to get some reviews soon!
By the way, for anyone who didn't know, my name's Thistle! Yes, I know it's an odd name, but I like it. :) Thanks for your help!!! And if there's something that bothers you about the style I'm writing this in, don't hesitate to tell me! I'd really like to improve my writing, and if I have the chance to improve, I'll definitely take it. :D
That's all! Have a great day, and please submit some ideas! *Pokes review button* Isn't it pretty? :P
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. :D
It was a gloomy day outside of the Akatsuki hideout - the clouds loomed above, dark and menacing, the wind roared through the trees, and, of course, it was raining. A cold, black rain.
Deidara stood at the entranceway to the cave, eyeing the sky with a thoughtful look. He had spent the morning gazing out at the land, trying to come up with some new ideas for one of his clay bombs. Sasori had always insulted his views on real artwork, but Deidara thought differently.
"Still looking outside?" Deidara frowned as a familiar voice drifted into his thoughts, disturbing his peace. He turned his head. Sasori stood behind him, grinning. "You know, a real artist doesn't grow overnight. You need time to develop your skills, and, maybe one day, they'll be as good as mine."
Deidara chuckled. "As good as yours? Mine are already much better then yours could ever be, un. I still don't understand how you can't see the beauty in every piece of clay." He rose from his cross-legged position, and leaned against the damp stone wall. "You really ought to try, hmm?"
He heard Sasori give a rattling laugh, an odd, chilling sound. "Art is something that can be gazed upon for decades upon decades, Dei. Something that can be cherished throughout the dawns of time. Not something that can, say," He grapped a piece of Deidara's clay from the rocky ledge, and if one swift move, and thrown it into the forest. It errupted in a loud blast, the ashes spraying across their faces. "Explode in an instant. Bombs aren't art, Dei. You should know that, of all people."
Deidara gave a subtle "humph," and strode inside, leaving Sasori in the rain. He had no patience for arguing about the meaning of true art. Sasori would never understand what it meant.
"Deidara-Kun, Deidara-Kun!" Tobi ran up to Deidara, bouncing on his heels. He tugged on the Akatsuki member's shoulder. "Come play with us!"
Deidara frowned. "Hmm? Play what? With who?"
Tobi dragged him along into one part of the cave, crowded by the other Akatsuki members. Some of them were smiling, others, grumbling. They sat in a circle, surrounded by many other shinobi that Deidara had never seen.
"It's truth or dare, Deidara-Kun!" Tobi leaped to the ground, and sat in the middle of the group. His shoulders shook with excitement as he pointed to the others ninja. "They've agreed to play as well!"
"Sorry, Tobi, I don't have time for this." Deidara narrowed his eyes, and spun on his heel. It was bad enough that he hadn't gotten any inspiration for his art, and been chastised by Sasori... But now he was being forced into playing such a stupid game. There was no way, no how...
"Come on, Deidara. Loosen up." Kisame waved Deidara over, pointed teeth exposed by his wide grin. He was seated next to Itachi and Konan, sword swung across his back. "Seriously. You've been sitting out there all morning. Tobi has gotten us all here... Why not just give it a try?"
Deidara sighed, aggravated. "You know how much I hate this game. It's absolutely pointless! There is no outcome, except for-"
"Having fun?" Zetsu interrupted, eyebrows raised. "You're right, it would be so much better just to sit outside, in the rain, all alone... Why would you want to play such a childish game? But don't sulk afterwards, having been left out on the fun."
"And don't get angry if some of the dares involve you." His other side spoke up, a menacing whisper. "Who knows how... violent they'll get?"
"I just don't want to play!" Deidara growled, fists tight at his sides. "Why don't you just-"
"Come on, Deidara! Come play with us!" Tobi chirped, waving his arms from side to side.
"Yeah, come one! It'll be fun!" Kisame chimed in.
"Just give it a try!"
"You won't regret it!"
"It'll be exciting!"
Deidara tried to drown out the continous shouts, shaking his head. But after a few moments, shoulders sagging, he stepped in and joined the circle. "Just don't blame me if I refuse to do any of the dares." Deidara grumbled, arms crossed. He scowled, thinking about all the possibilities. "I don't like doing stupid things just for the heck of it."
Itachi chuckled. "Really? Well, you had us fooled."
"Shut up! I never-"
"All right, everyone!" Tobi jumped up again, spirits high. It was amazing how much energy that boy had. "It's time to start! Sasori has promised to join us in a bit!"
Hidan raised a hand. "But what the h*** are with all these freaking people? Do you even know everyone here???"
Tobi nodded. "Tobi is a good boy! He got everyone from different villages! Now it'll be even more fun!"
"Oh, for god's sake," Kakuzu snarled, resting his face in his palms. He shook his head. "Half of them could be spies! What the-"
"Let's start!" Tobi jumped back down, clapping his hands. "Truth or dare, anyone?"
Time to receive the ideas! Please send some in! It'll be greatly appreciated!
I hope to continue really soon, maybe even tonight! I'm really counting on you! Yay! :D
