Tobi was unsure of what to think of this new girl. Surely, she was very pretty, but DeiDei was acting veeerrrryyyy~ strange. He had never seen him act so...flustered before. He decided to ask the girl a few more questions, and surely it would reveal why it is that DeiDei acted so strange around her. "I like you a lot, Yki, let's be friends!" Step one initiated: pretend to be friends to gain trust. "...Alright." The girl looked as though she was a bunny rabbit being thrown a carrot in a field of beets. Step one complete. Step two initiate, determine roots, worth, and if possible, back story. "So, Yki, where are you from?" Tobi smiled innocently. Yki gladly ate the carrot, "I'm from the village of Fire!~" Tobi gasped in a childish way, trying to play up his innocence, "Really?~ Wow! I LOVE that village! I just new I liked you, Yki!~"

Yki smiled brightly, "Well, I was raised in the village hidden in the leaf and..." The girl descended into a completely worthless backstory with no worth to Tobi. He quickly grew bored of the story as he realized she would be of NO use whatsoever to him, and most likely JUST a distraction to DeiDei. And anyway, hadn't they come far enough with her? Naruto would run right into their hands looking for her. And GOD her voice was annoying. Her presence just pissed him off, although he kept nodding kindly at everything she said, putting in the proper gasps when needed and "Oh yes~" as needed. She was in the middle of recallng a story where Naruto stole her popsicle and she cried for days and then he apologized by bringing her a new one a few days later when Tobi decided enough is enough. "I'M BOREDDD. Its time for you to go." And with that, he pushed her, BOUND, off the flying bird, and down she went, plummetting toward the ground.

Now of course, as stories go, it just so happened that passing by, watching over Deidara and Tobi's efforts to make sure they didn't screw up, as they USUALLY and JUST did, another fellow Akatsuki member was hiding in the bushes. All the member could hear besides Yki's incessent screaming was Deidara shouting at Tobi, and Tobi crying. The member sighed. What a bunch of idiots.

As swift as ever, the member ran out of the bushes, although the proper term would most likely have been teleported, because thats how fast the person ran, and landed right under Yki, catching her in time. The member smartly chose to remove the cloak that had donned the member a few moments ago, making the member look like no more than an unusually strong town member. On the outside, at least.

Yki was angry. No, FURIOUS. Of course, she wasnt stupid. Her original plan was to make them think she was, until they got tired of her and threw her away. But actually tossing her off a bird? Who the FUCK did that bastard think he was? Yki looked up at her savior and did a doubletake. He was...hot. So hot that using a word like "gorgeous" didnt even feel meaningful anymore. She tried to think of something to say, but couldn't make up the words. He was on the same level of hotness as the blonde that had captured her. But of course, she didn't think Deidara was as noble as this beautiful man in front of her. At least she didnt know that yet.

And since she wasn't going to say anything, Cascade took the liberty of doing it for her. "You fell off a bird. I caught you. Now were going to party." Before Yki could answer she saw the clay bird coming to a stop on the ground. "TOBI YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE. WHAT WAS THE POINT IN THAT? WE NEED THE GIRL ALIVE YOU IDIOT!" Deidara looked even more angry than Yki. "Sorry, Sempai. During that conversation I forgot she was useful enough for anyone to need her!" Yki pulled away from her savior and walked over to Tobi. "Oh, it was just an act. I was trying to get away. Now listen." Yki pulled Tobi by his cloak. "If you ever touch me again I'll rip your face off!" And with that, she threw him about a mile away, thanks to her amazing chakra control that Tsunade had taught her.

Deidara and mystery man both looked into the distance where Tobi had been hurled. (I thought it was a good first line.) "He'll walk back." Yki simply stated. "Yki, are you okay?" She turned to Deidara, he actually seemed worried. "I'm fine. Why do you care?" "No reason, just drop it, un." "Okay." Yki turned back to the other guy. "And who are you?" "My name is Cascade." He took her hand and gently kissed it. (Yki hadn't noticed, but her restraints had somehow fallen off while she was in midair) She blushed, and while she wasn't looking he grabbed both of her hands and tied them across her back. "Looks like I'll have to help finish what you and Tobi started. Lets go another mile, then set up camp. Tobi will eventually find us." "Dont tell me your one of them to." "I dont have to tell you. I just showed you." Cascade said, poking her hands.

Cascade and Yki began walking into the distance when Deidara shouted after them, "HEY! Where are you going with her?"

Cascade smirked, and Yki's heart skipped a beat. "It's none of your business, tongue."

"DAMNIT, CASCADE. This is like the FIFTH TIME THIS MONTH!~" Deidara suddenly realized, this girl was strong, and if she knew what he really was, she would beat him up. Or so he thought. He called out after them, "YKI! THAT GUY! HE'S A WOM—" Deidara suddenly felt his mouth zippering shut, as though someone who latching it together, silencing him. He recognized this jutsu. Cascade laughed to himself. "That's enough lip out of you, tongue."

If looks could kill, the one Deidara gave Cascade could murder in an instant. "What?" Yki asked. Cascade looked down at her. "Nothing." He stated flatly. Cascade sighed and set Deidara's mouth free. Deidara didn't say anything, but began walking next to Yki, with Cascade on the other side. "So, what's gonna happen to me?" She asked after a few minutes. "Nothing, as long as you behave. The better you are, the quicker you can get home, un." Deidara answered quickly before Cascade got a chance to. Cascade laughed. "You left out the part where she has to spend a minimum two weeks at the Akatsuki base, which is filled with perverted rapists ten times stronger then her." Cascade said, just a bit to casually.

Yki jumped back slightly at Cascade's last remark, and Deidara jumped back while Cascade tensed, thinking she was trying to escape. She only look surprised, and for a minute the whole group was confused at each other. Yki was only surprised at Cascade's last sentence, but because she jumped back and THEN looked confused, Deidara and Cascade were confused at her. Cascade became impatient and tired of playing "the nice guy". "Enough fooling around," he glared, "Let's get the show on the road." He flashed underneath Yki, and she squealed as she felt herself being swept up in his arms, bridal style. Deidara gasped, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING-?" "This is taking too long," And with that, Cascade catapulted off in the trees with Yki, who was bound up, and shocked.
