Chapter 2

"I said hold still, girl!" Sasori barked as I wriggled once more. I sent him the most evil glare my eyes could muster without me breaking something in my body. Trust me, it's happened before. Wasn't pretty.

"I would gladly hold still, Pinocchio. It's entirely my fault that I'm so incredibly uncomfortable in this," I snapped. Wow, I should be sued for this amount of sarcasm used in one sentence.

Deidara raised an eyebrow at me, and I snapped my not-so-threatening gaze to him. To me, it was my if-I-try-hard-enough-I-might-actually-kill-you-rawr-fear-me look. But to a ninja, it was probably this-is-all-I-can-do-because-I-have-no-power stare.

"What're you looking at, Blondie?" I growled. A vein ticked in Deidara's forehead and he opened his mouth to reply, but got a sour look from Sasori.

"She has no chakra signature, but there's this odd form of energy coming from her," Sasori growled, tightening the tail around me which caused me to gasp. "She'd make a fine puppet."

I started to freak out a little bit. When I got nervous, scared, excited, embarrassed, all that stuff, I tend to stop using the fleshy pink object in my skull called a brain. "Oi! Put me down right this instant, puppet-boy! Get your red-headed ass out of that tank you call a puppet and face me like a man!" I snapped. Sasori froze, slackening his grip and letting me fall to the ground onto my behind.

"Ow," I grumbled, rubbing my sore buttocks as I stared up at Sasori with an eyebrow raised. I got to my feet, crossing my arms.

"How did you know that?" Sasori growled. I chuckled nervously, realizing I should have kept my mouth shut.

"Um… Wikipedia," I said with a small smile. The puppet only advanced on me. Obviously he didn't know what Wikipedia was.

"Hey, Blondie, help me out and I'll give you a life time supply of hairspray!" I called, backing away from the angry looking Pinocchio. Deidara merely raised an eyebrow.

My eyebrow twitched, and I jumped away from Sasori. Obviously Deidara wasn't expecting it from Sasori's statement about the chakra, because I tugged the band out of his hair and fired it at him. I may be slow as possible, but I had killer aim. The band hit the blonde Akatsuki member right between the eyes. "HEADSHOT," I snapped, before leaping over a small rock (because I wanted to look cool) and darting away.

"Ha! Score one for Maya!" I said, while running into the forest. Deidara chased after me, but after a while I seemed to have lost him.

"Stupid Blondie can't keep up!" I smirked to myself. Then I realized- they were ninja. As I complained loudly to myself, I tripped and landed in something soft.

I looked down, realizing that soft thing was a clay bird and that thing I tripped over was a tree root. "Cursed thing, I shall have my revenge, someday!" I grumbled. Then I stared at the bird. Wait, clay, bird? That meant one thing.

"Damnit! Where's Blondie?" I grumbled. Then I let out a high pitched squeal as the bird under me poofed into a bigger model. Deidara stepped out of the shadows, followed by Sasori. I turned, realizing that the clearing I was in was not far away. So, my large mind (sorta) made the conclusion that during the small time I had ran, Deidara made a clay bird, somehow moved that tree root there, and laid waiting. Damn ninjas!

I turned, making to slide off the bird but Sasori's tail pushed me back up.

"Hey! Let me off, OP!" I snapped. Sasori kept his puppet-face passive, but I was telepathic enough to guess what he was wondering.

"What's OP, un?" Deidara asked, shooting me a weird look.

"Obese Pinocchio, of course," I answered loudly, giving him a peace sign.

Deidara raised an eyebrow, while Sasori tried hard not to inject me with some lethal poison. "Tell me. How did you know what my real body looked like?"

I rolled my eyes, like that was the most stupid question in the history of stupid questions. "Wikipedia, did I not say, OP?" I huffed, "it's the magical land where a mighty wizard called Internet and his helper, Forums, answer all your questions!" I said, with a cheesy grin and the magical finger-twiddling.

Deidara smacked his forehead, and Sasori twitched. I shrugged.

"Well. Since you're hesitant to cooperate, I suggest we take you over to Leader," Sasori growled. Maybe he wanted the best possible torture ever to befall on me.

"What? Am I not good enough for your silly little poisons, so you decide to take me over to pumpkin-headed metal face?" I snapped. Sasori's gaze darkened, and I sweatdropped.

"We're definitely taking her to Leader," Sasori growled to his blonde partner, who was staring at me skeptically. Damn, I really need to learn to keep my mouth shut.

"Uh… can I pass?" I asked with a hopeful smile.

Sasori ignored me, "Take her up, Deidara. I want to make sure she doesn't escape," the puppet said.

"But, Sasori-no-Danna, what if she does something to my masterpiece, un?" Deidara asked. I huffed indignantly.

"Hello? I'm still here, alive and breathing, y'know!" I said, leaning over the bird to knock on Deidara's noggin. I swear I heard echoes.

"Whoa, is there anything in that hollow head of yours?" I asked, "Maybe if I shake it around a bit…" I reached my hands toward Deidara's head, but was swatted away by his hand.

"Don't touch me, un!" he snapped. I muttered something about shaving his head in his sleep before sitting on the bird.

Deidara huffed, before jumping up with me. "Can I tie her up, Sasori-no-Danna, un?" he asked.

"Go ahead," Sasori grunted. Deidara grinned evilly at me, before reaching over with a rope in his hands.

"Oh, no way, no fucking way are you tying me up!" I snapped. I backed away from the advancing Iwa-nin, only to find myself pushed to the edge.

Deidara grabbed my wrists, tying them together, and none too gently, of course.

"Damnit, curse you! And curse all of your children, if you don't die a lonely, cold death!" I snapped. "Which you don't," I muttered under my breath, "it'll be nice and warm for you…"

Deidara sent me a deadly look, "What did you say, un?"

I sniffed, "I ain't tellin' you nuffin! This is your punishment for tying me up," I snorted.

"Hurry up, Deidara," Sasori called. In that time, the puppet had poddled about fifty yards away.

Deidara nodded, before speeding up the clay bird. Soon, we were flying over the head of Sasori-no-Puppet.

Then, the sound of screams once more came to my ears as I peered over the edge of the bird to the ground below. The feeling of the glass scratching against my skin, the wind rushing into my face, my mom's hand clamped in mine…

Soon, I was screaming at the top of my lungs. I was hunched over, burying my face into the clay bird until I soon couldn't breathe. I had covered my ears with my hands, which was hard since they were bound, and thrashed back and forth.

I felt a pressure on me, something that rolled me over and pinned me to the bird. I gasped in air, but kept screaming. "NO! NO! LET ME OFF THIS DAMN THING! I WANNA BE ON THE GROUND!" I screeched.

"Will you calm down, un?" Deidara snapped. I opened my eyes, which were blurred by the tears on my cheeks. Deidara was pinning me to the ground, with my wrists over my head and he was sitting on my gut. Lucky him I wasn't a huge fangirl, otherwise I probably would have molested him or something.

"Let me off of this bird, Deidara," I muttered, sniffing. I hated crying. I hated sniveling up to the terrorist even more.

"Please?" I muttered. He looked down at Sasori, before lowering the bird and letting me roll off onto the ground.

When I landed, the contents of the small breakfast I had had before my death had unearthed from my mouth and onto the ground. I let out a dry sob, spitting out the taste of bile and rolling onto my side.

I heard talking, but I didn't care. I closed my eyes, letting myself slip away like when I had died. But, this time I had slipped away into an uneasy sleep.

Me: Wonderful! This chapter… not as long as the first. I wanted to continue it, but meh.

I realized we haven't done the disclaimer! DEIDARA. YOU DO IT! Or I'll get Hammer-san…

Deidara: No… Starpelt does not own Naruto. She only owns Maya and other characters she makes up.

Me: Good boy.

Deidara: Help me…

Me: *pushes away Deidara* Ignore him, kiddies! Read and review, OR FACE THE WRATH OF HAMMER-SAAAAAAN! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
