My Decision To Join the Akatsuki (Deidara Love Story)

by PrincessMikimoto

Princess Mikimoto of the Land of Pearls will be made Queen in a little less than a week. She doesn't want the responsibility, and she is tired of being a goody good. One strange dream and she sets off to join the Akatsuki and start her new life. *Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto* Also, this story does NOT follow the Naruto storyline, I may make up some things.

1. Chapter 1

I look down from my balcony and see the villagers of the Land of Pearls setting up decorations and hanging banners that read "Queen Mikimoto of the Land of Pearls." The Land of Pearls is a small land, I would assume its population only consisted of about 10,000 villagers. We are basically in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a huge ocean. I am not the queen yet, I am only the Princess for now. I turn 18 next week, which will be celebrated at the coronation ceremony as my grandfather, King Akoya, steps down from his position of leader of the land due to his old age.

I continue to look down at the people of my village, the people that I care about so deeply. I have gone through missions and put my life on the line for the sake of keeping this village safe, I am one of the strongest shinobi this village has to offer.

The set up for next week's coronation is almost complete. As I continue to look at all these people I can't help but feel a twinge of anger. I'm angry at my grandfather who decided to pass the duty of leadership to me. I'm angry at my dead parents for bringing me into the world where I would be made a royal and have so many responsibilities. I'm angry at all the villagers who look up to me as some kind of hero. I DO NOT want to be queen.

It was almost two years ago when I just turned 16, my frail grandfather told me that his time was almost up. He felt that I would make a good ruler, me being a strong shinobi and being so committed to the village. After I was given the news I fell into a deep depression, not only that but my anxiety has gotten worse, I would regret every day that I woke up safe and sound because I knew that I was just one day closer to becoming queen. I started to feel another one of my panic attacks coming, I grabbed my hair and started screaming at the top of my lungs, "WHY ME?!"

I ran out into the woods to calm myself down, I then traveled to the neighboring village, the Village of Diamonds. I was looking for a fight, I was willing to fight anyone, I'm always up for a good fight. Being a royal, I was always subjected to kidnappings, I was kidnapped once when I was five years old. After that, I vowed to become so powerful that nobody would dare mess with me again, and if they did, then they wouldn't live to tell the tale. I've mastered the five basic nature types, fire, lightning, wind, water, and earth. I walked around the Village of Diamonds for an hour, everyone seemed so peaceful, I guess there wasn't going to be a fight for me. I left to go back home, when I got back it was almost midnight. I guess I'll go to bed.

I lay restless for a few hours until I finally rolled to my side and drifted off into a deep sleep. I dreamt of a dark sky, and in the dark sky were red clouds.
