Hi! Well since you guys liked the first chapter I shall continue! If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me! I'm more than willing to listen! :D anyhow I don't own Naruto or any of the characters is this story…though I wish I did…I don't….On with the story!
By now rain was beginning to lightly fall, and off in the distance you could see the lighting light up the dark sky for a few seconds. One of the shinobi stepped forward, she had light brown hair and dark blue eyes she also seemed to be the leader of the small group.
"We are shinobi from the village hidden in the mist, our missi-"Before she could finish, the young blonde cut in "It doesn't matter why you here un," begun Deidara as he smirked, "you're going to end up as part of my art anyway, you see… art is a Bang!" With that Deidara threw the clay bird and yelled katsu. The three shinobi dodged the bright explosion without effort. Though Deidara was expecting they would do so, and used it as a distraction while he reached for more clay. Each dangerous clay bird that Deidara had prepared seemed perfect and one by one he threw them as his enemies quickly avoided them while jumping tree to tree. The rain was now pouring down harder and harder making the large branches of the many trees slippery. For Deidara it didn't seem like much of a problem…but to his opponents it was. The shinobi were now only barely able to escape the explosive clay creations. Each explosion seemed to be getting bigger and more powerful. As each went off the trees shook, and the noise of the blasts resounded throughout the forest.
It was quick. Just one slip and one of the shinobi had fallen. He closed his eyes as Deidara set off yet another much more powerful blast. He hit the ground hard. The wind was knocked out of him and the pain was mostly in his left arm and where he had fallen. He opened his eyes to see a huge tear in his sleeve, and blood rushing from a rather large wound. The skin around it was red, and it stung to even gently touch it. His shoulder was incredibly sore and moving his arm wasn't an option. Deidara smirked as he looked down at him…this is why weak ninja should challenge S rank criminals thought Deidara as he failed to notice the two remaining shinobi had thrown several kunai. The weapons flew rapidly towards him and made a slight whooshing sound as they picked up speed. It was almost too late before Deidara had noticed, and at the last minute moved quickly to the side. If only he had moved quicker he would have been able to avoid it completely. One of the kunai had hit him in the right side creating a deep cut that immediately started to bleed when he pulled it out. His eyes were wide with shock. He fell to his knees on the branch, and one hand covered the wound, while the other was on the tree keeping his balance…his eyes closed tightly for a moment or two before they slowly opened again. He breathed in slowly then stood up. The kunai that had been thrown at him was now in his right hand, and he planned to use it.
Deidara pushed several strands of hair out of his face and looked straight forward. His enemy stood on another branch about 20 feet away and for a moment their eyes met. He quickly looked away and swiftly jumped to another branch, cringing because the deep cut in his side still troubled him. He threw the kunai but missed by a couple of feet. His opponent laughed mockingly and followed him, as he continued forward through the forest.
"Looks like someone is running away…fearing for their life…" she said as one of the other remaining shinobi reached for more weapons. While they readied their attack, Deidara readied his. Picking up speed as he shot forward though the forest dodging other kunai and shuriken, he came to a small clearing and landed…waiting for his opponents to show up. When she did he realized the other wasn't with her…had he gone back to help the other? Well it didn't matter…this is the one he really wanted to fight. She reached for weapons when suddenly Deidara seemed to disappear before her. She heard the slight sound of feet hitting a branch. Before she could turn around, he threw the explosive clay from the safety of a nearby tree behind her.
She waited for the explosion but nothing happened. The clay hit the ground…but nothing happened. It was silent. She turned to see him standing there, eyes wide. His legs gave out and he fell. He landed on his knees, bent over looking at the ground. His expression was still the same…shocked. It took her a second to notice the huge gash pouring blood and the kunai sticking from his back. She looked up at the tree to see her other team member standing in the same spot Deidara had. She smiled relieved and took a step forward.
It hurt. No it didn't just hurt…it as much more than that. The pain was one of the worst Deidara had ever felt, and it wasn't just from the wound...Deidara couldn't believe it…he had been defeated so easily…he had to do something…she couldn't win…he moved his head slowly just enough to see the clay bird he had failed to explode, a couple feet away from him. Though it hurt like hell, he reached for it. Once he had it in his hand… he used the last of his strength and energy to weakly yet slowly stand up, ignoring the pain. He threw it towards the shinobi and he choked out the word katsu. She turned around just in time to see the bird go off in an explosion but was too stunned to move out of the way. The blast had thrown her and Deidara in different directions, both crashing into nearby trees. The impact seemed to do more damage than Deidara hoped. Only able to take short quick breaths, he looked up.
His heart was beating quickly and his head pounded. Everything was blurry and he couldn't move. He lay on his side under the tall tree noticing what looked like a pair of feet heading towards him. It was the ninja who had saved his partner earlier from his attack…Deidara assumed he was going to kill him but before anything could happen someone else had arrived. Struggling to see…Deidara barely made out an orange swirly mask and a black cloak with a red and white cloud.
So now he decides to show up…
He was moving too quickly for Deidara to see exactly what was going on…but one moment the shinobi is standing the next he is on the ground. Deidara heard a somewhat deeper voice…and it wasn't the ninja…it was Tobi. Finding this odd Deidara fought the urge to black out…he wanted to find out what was going on.
Tobi laughed…but it wasn't his usual laugh…it was much darker. "It's a shame my partner couldn't defeat such a weak shinobi. Maybe I should have stepped in before he got himself hurt…well it doesn't matter now...you would still have died in the end." He looked down at the frightened ninja and placed his foot on his throat, with one swift move he had stomped down crushing his neck. Just like that…it was over.
Though the memory was fuzzy…it stuck in Deidara's mind. It kept repeating itself constantly. When everything else went black it was still there, as if it was dream….but it all seemed too real. Deidara opened his eyes to see the sky filled with different shades of oranges and pinks, as the sun descended over the mountains. The clouds had cleared almost completely, and the sound of rushing water was loud and when he looked over he noticed there was a stream not too far away. Turning his head in the opposite direction he saw Tobi sitting on rock with his mask turned just enough to see his mouth. He was eating a small piece of bread, and just as he finished he noticed Deidara.
"Sempai! You're awake!" Came the cheerful voice of Tobi, as he turned his mask back to its usual angle. Deidara moved to sit up but was stopped. "You shouldn't sit up right away, sempai…the bleeding might start again."
Deidara lay back down and watched as Tobi walked over to him and handed him something to eat. He accepted a piece of bread and took a bite. He thought about earlier that day. What exactly happened back there? Had he dreamed up the last part? Most likely…it seemed so unlike Tobi to actually kill someone….and what about that voice? It must have been a dream…it must have.
Settling on that, he spoke between bites…."Where exactly are we, un?" Tobi looked over at him and answered. "We are only mile or so away from the village where we were supposed to arrive at today….leader-sama should be informed that we are late." Nodding, Deidara took another bite. The headache he had before he blacked out was still faintly there, but as he ate it begun to completely disappear. When he had finished the bread he looked around for something to drink. Without luck of finding anything, he asked. "Is there anything to drink, un?" Tobi nodded and looked around until he spotted a small bag. He reached for it and took out a bottle of water, and then he handed it to Deidara.
Taking off the lid he begun to drink, soon realizing how thirsty he really was. By the time he was done more than half the water was gone. He was feeling much better since he ate and had something to drink so he sat up and looked around once more. By now the sun had faded completely and the sky was filled with many bright stars. The sounds of crickets could be heard along with the rushing stream and the occasional rustle of a bush.
"Should we head out tonight? Or do you want to wait till morning when you're feeling better, Deidara sempai?" Deidara turned to look at his partner and thought about his answer. He felt fine mostly…but when he moved to suddenly it hurt where he had been slashed and where the kunai had hit him in the back. He didn't want to slow them down…especially if they needed to make a quick escape. But waiting till morning, could also slow them down more than they already were. But then again if they went now while it was still dark, they had a better chance of sneaking into the village. Choosing his final answer took only a few seconds before he spoke. "We should go in a little while, un." Tobi tilted his head, "Are you sure sempai? Wha-" "I'm sure, un." He said as he stood up, almost falling to the ground. He staggered back as he tried to regain his balance. He had to admit that he was a little light headed, but it left just as quickly has it had come. He looked back over at Tobi for just a second and turned towards the stream, heading over to it to wash his hands.
The water was cold and the stream was over flowing. The rain from earlier probably had caused it to flood. Standing back up, Deidara wiped his hands on his cloak and headed back through the bushes towards Tobi. When he had arrived, he saw that his partner had already picked up their belongings and put them back into the little bag. He now was sitting on a rock, most likely waiting for Deidara to return.
Several minutes later they were back on track, and heading to towards the small village…most likely the one that the shinobi they had encountered earlier were from.
Tobi sighed and continued to walk. He never got an answer to the important question he had asked earlier. Had Deidara forgotten? Most likely. He wanted to know the answer but he didn't want to annoy Deidara by bringing it up again and asking the same questions. Maybe I should ask later when the mission is over, thought Tobi but he quickly changed his mind, no… I want to know now. Just to be sure. He looked up and started to say something but was shushed. Deidara pulled him to the side and told him to be quiet…they had arrived.
Okay well here is chapter 2…it probably sucks….sorry! I hope you enjoyed though! If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me! Like I said, I'm more than willing to listen!
