Chapter 2 -- the capture of her
The sun was starting to set and the wind was growing colder. It would turn dark soon and Nina stopped and looked across the border to Bird country. She still had to get to a town before dark or she was going to have to start setting up a campsite.
Just then, she heard the familiar rattle of wagon wheels on the dirt road. She whipped her head around to see a produce wagon hauling apples and pumpkins speeding up the road at an alarmingly fast rate. She noticed that the driver was lying across the seat limp as if he had passed out or something. The horses must have been spooked by whatever had knocked out the driver and now the cart was careening out of control.
Nina was airborne in an instant with a super-chakra-infused-power jump and she landed ever so gracefully on one of the two horses pulling the cart. She pulled on the reigns while letting her chakra sooth and calm the animals. In an instant, the horses and the cart slowed to a smooth stop. Nina swung her legs around and leaped off the horse turning her attention to the driver she skipped up to the elderly man and began using her chakra to probe him for injuries. The old man looked like he had just had the wind knocked out of him and would probably be ok.
"Grandpa, grandpa are you ok," Nina looked up to see a little boy running up the road after the cart. He had bib overalls on and a bowl haircut. His black hair contrasted his now tomato-red face due to him running after the cart. He was a tad bit on the plump side and Nina did not pick up any chakra patterns that would signify him as a ninja.
"Hey kid," Nina yelled at the little boy who jumped back in a start because he had not noticed her presence until she spoke.
"What happened?"
The boy huffed trying to catch his breath, "we were on our way to the market so we would be able to set up our stand for the morning and out of nowhere these ninjas came out of the woods and spooked the horses. I fell off the wagon and I guess grandpa must have passed out or something."
Nina looked at the boy. He didn't notice but she had activated her sharingan for a second to make sure he was telling the truth.
"What did these ninjas look like," she asked.
"Well there were two of them and they both wore black robes with red clouds on them. One of them was blond with a strange device over his eye and the other wore an orange mask."
"Deidara and Tobi," Nina cursed under her breath.
She scanned the area for those familiar chakra patterns and bingo she found them hiding in the bushes about two hundred feet from where she was standing.
"Your grandpa will be fine get in the cart and continue on," Nina said looking at the boy with her sharingan now fully activated. She dropped the tone of her voice down so it was a soothing hypnotic sound. "Go to the next town and forget about me," she told the boy with a mental push.
The boy did exactly what she told him. He climbed next to his still unconscious grandfather and gave the horses the order to start walking. He did not look back because all he could focus on what the buzzing order in his head to go and forget about someone.
Once the cart was at a safe distance away Nina stood up strait and looked right in the direction of the two Akatsuki members. "What is it," she asked in the direction they were positioned.
Before she had a chance to react she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist. "Let go, Deidara" she yelled and began her defense by trying to kick herself out of his grasp.
"Shh, Nina, calm down, yeah" Deidara whispered in her ear. Tobi was now standing in front of her, "Nina comes home with Tobi and Deidara now please." Tobi said while picking up one of her dyed black locks and examining it.
"I don't want to," was her response.
"The Akatsuki has allowed you time to grow; now it's time to return, uh"
Nina felt her face flush at the closeness of the two men. She had only really been close to her uncle Itachi and Kisame. She knew who the others were but rarely had to work with them.
"No," was Nina's response. She decided to keep using her hypnotic voice activating jutsu that she discovered make a great combo with her sharingan.
Deidara felt a buzzing in his head but quickly shook it off and tightened his grip on her. The sudden squeeze from Deidara made all the air in Nina's lungs to get pushed out of her in a surprised sigh. Meanwhile Tobi continued looking at her seemingly unaffected by her jutsu.
Deidara grinned like a Cheshire cat and moved in closer to her face, "We can make you; your uncle might have gone all soft on you when he let you go on purpose. But, we are far stronger than you little sister, uh."
"On purpose," Nina thought aloud right before Tobi lifted his mask for a second and knocked her out with his sharingan.
