Chapter 2: The Akastuki

It was midday and we have been walking for ours without a break. I was getting tired and bored from all the walking. Now I wish I didn't make Kione go back to his mother. I was walking when I bumped into Deidara. I fell on my butt. "OW. What the hell was that for." I said with an anime vein popping out of my dead. "You were always clumsy when you're in your own little world aren't you." He said smirking from ear to ear. My left eye started to twitch. He then quickly picked me up bridal style and jumped down onto the water near a giant bolder in front of a cave. He set me down and I had to look up just to see the seal on the bolder.

Deidara did some hand signs and the lifted itself up. We went inside and there was a statue with many eyes. Its arms were chained up and the fingers were facing the ceiling of the cave. "Stay here." Deidara said. He and Tobi went on two of the fingers of the statue. Then another man appeared. It looked as if he was using the hologram jutsu. He had spiky hair and that was the only thing that I was able to tell he had. I couldn't tell what they were saying.

After 2-3 minutes the hologram went away and they came down. "We're leaving for the hideout. Do you need anything from your house." Asked Deidara. "Actually. My necklace is there. Two of them. They're really important to me." "Is that it? Just some necklaces'." He said with a stern face. "Yes. One my parents gave me and the other you gave me." I said looking down. At that Deidara remembered the necklace that he gave kitsune.

Flash back: Deidara

It was a Saturday evening and you were walking on the street. You wanted to give kitsune something for her 16th birthday but you didn't know what. It has been 3 years since you've been together and you wanted to give her something special. Something that would last forever. You were looking in a window and saw a gold necklace with a real diamond K in it. Then it clicked. It cost ¥356, and you had ¥400 (¥ means yen). You quickly ran in there and got the necklace and went to Kitsune's house. You knocked on the door and heard Kitsune say 'Its opened.' You walked in and went to her room to see if she was ready to go.

Deidara walked into her room and saw that she was in the bathroom. "Are you almost ready yet." You asked. "Yeah. Let me just out my shoes on and we can leave." Kitsune said. She walked out in a long red dress but it went just about her knees in the front. She had her hair down and a read sparkled bow on the right side.

"Wow." Was all you could say. Kitsune walked up to you and gave you a peck on the lips. You stayed there for a little bit until you heard kitsune. "Deidara, are you coming?" "What? Oh yeah."

You and kitsune went to a nice restaurant and then took a stroll in the park. When you went up and sat on a hill with her leaning on you, you pulled out the box. You were very nervous. You didn't know if she would like it or not. You didn't notice that kitsune was looking at you until she said something. "Deidara is everything all right." You looked at her and put the box next to you out of sight until the moment was right. "Yeah everything is perfectly fine." you said while looking in her eyes. You went forward and so did she both of you tilting your heads. You had a long passionate kiss and when you let go for air you said "Happy Birthday Kitsune." At that moment you took the necklace out of the box and showed it to her. You saw her eyes widen at the sight of it.

"Deidara. It's beautiful. Why? I told you that you didn't have to get me anything." She said. "I know. But why wouldn't I get you anything. It took me forever. I just couldn't find anything as beautiful as you. Not even a rose compares to your beauty." You could tell she was about to cry and didn't know why. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" "Because that's the first time anyone has ever said something like that to me." At that moment you two sent the rest of the night in each other's arms.

End flashback: Deidara

"Hello. Deidara are you even listening to me." You waved your hand in his face until he shook his head and said, "Ya Ya. We'll go get your necklaces. But we have to hurry." He said walking off. That made you really mad, but also sad at the same time. Wow you really do love him still. No I do not. Stop saying that. I may have some feelings for him still, but I stopped loving him years ago. Pfft. Yeah right. I see the way you look at him. You're still in love with him. How would you know that? Whenever he touches you, you either slightly blush or your whole face is red. And don't say no it doesn't cause it does. How can you tell when I blush. I'm your inner self, remember. I know everything you do. Besides the fact that you still like Deidara. Okay. Point taken. At that you all started towards your house.

Flash forward

When you got to your house you unlocked the door and went in. You took off your shoes and went up to Kito, your butler. Your house wasn't the normal small house, but a giant mansion. It was left by your parents when you wanted to live on your own. But of course they had you employ the normal housekeepers like maids, 5 butlers, one for you and the others under charge of the head butler. A gardener, the usual people you would find a mansion.

"Welcome home M'lady. How may we be of service?" Kito said. "Yes. Can you go get my mother's necklace and the diamond one as well?" "The heart one with the diamond K. Am I correct." I nodded and he went off. Then I heard fast footsteps headed my way. I looked to my right where the hallway was and saw Kione in her wolf form running towards me as fast as he could. She literally ran me over and knocked me down on the ground. He started licking me everywhere. "Okay. Kione. Stop it already. Haha."

When he stopped I got up and pet him under his ears. That's his favorite spot. "Um Senpia. I thought that Kione was a phoenix, and not a wolf." Tobi said very confused. "Yes, he is. But when their owner comes of age they both can turn into 3 other animals. The first is when they turn into a 13. She was they were both able to turn into a big lion. Then when she turned 16, they were able to turn into a big wolf. And before you ask when I say big I don't mean giant. Big as in big as a horse." Deidara explained. "Oh. Okay. But what about her third one?" Tobi asked. "I don't know. I was forced to leave with the akastuki before her last change. Her first two were painful and I was there when she transformed. But I wasn't there for her last one. I wish I was." He said looking down to his feet.

I came over there next to him and said, "I never got my third one yet. They say it will come either when I turn 19 or it will just come at some random time." "But I thought you said they come with age?" "They do. But since I was born on a blue moon and from what I read I will transform into my third stage on the next blue moon." I said reassuring him. "Okay. Then when will that be?" "This month. On my birthday, when I turn 19. Then in a few weeks it would be your birthday. Right." I said looking in his eyes. "You never forgot when my birthday was?" he asked looking back into my eyes. "Why would I forget? I celebrated it with you for 10 years." I said smiling at him. With that he smiled back and we just gazed in each other's eyes until Kito came up to me. "Your necklaces, M'lady." He said handing them to me. I thanked him and put them on, which Deidara helped. After that I we went outside and I hopped on Kione and we headed for the rain village.
