Time Can't Stand Still
Chapter Two: Surprise!
Naruto's POV
The blonde sat down lazily by the tree in the park waiting for his tardy sensei to show his face.
Where is he? He thought, it's been over an hour. He better get here or I'm leaving, believe it!
Just as he finished his thoughts Kakashi came from behind and scared the crap out of him.
"Glad to see you here, Naruto." Kakashi started.
"What took you so long?! You're always late and you always have a lame excuse. I've been here for over a damn hour, believe it!" the blonde hyperactive teenager exclaimed.
"Well, actually this time I will tell you the truth. I was talking to Tsunade about Sakura's mission. I'm sure you've already heard about it by now…" Kakashi said casually. "It's all over the village. I'd be surprised if you didn't hear it by now…"
"Wait… What? I knew she was going on one, but what's so special about it? It's only a D-Rank. I bet its not even that!" Naruto snickered, "I mean, its Sakura, dattebayo! Tsunade would never make it more than a simple and clean mission."
"Clearly you haven't heard what she's doing. Tsunade sent Sakura one a "D-rank mission" but, lets just say, Tsunade has been working hard and she needed a break. So she drank maybe just a little too much when she gave Sakura the mission and-"
"What's your point, Kakashi sensei?"
"Okay, to sum it all up, Sakura's on a mission to get pictures of the Akatsuki."
"Oh well that's nothi- WHAT?!" Narutos once curious eyes grew deep with shock. "AKATSUKI?! SAKURA?! WE HAVE TO HELP HER! C'MON KAKASHI SENSEI! SHE NEEDS OUR HELP, BELIEVE IT!" Naruto shouted.
"Easy, Naruto. You like to baby Sakura by not letting her help. How about if she doesn't come back within- oh lets see… Three days we go after her?" Kakashi casually said.
"Three days? She could be dead in three days! We would be too late! And especially with Saosori being back and-" Kakashi cut him off.
"Naruto. I will not let that girl die. Besides, a house almost full with all males and about only one female? They'd have "fun" with her first…"
"But, Kakashi sensei-"
"Naruto, everything will be alright. It is a simply yet, dangerous mission, but Sakura's smart she won't get caught. Even ask Sai, he agrees with me."
"Sai could probably care less!"
Before Naruto could finish convincing his stubborn sensei, Kakashi and been halfway across the park.
Just sit tight and wait. He thought, everything will be alright. Won't it? It should… that's what Kakashi said. I just hope he's right. Yeah, Sakura will live! Believe it!
Deidara's POV
"Deidara, get in here!" Pein called from his quarters.
Ugh! What did Kanon tell him now, yeah? I didn't do anything this time! I know she saw me test a bomb on Tobi, but she wouldn't have said anything, would she? Damn girl. Deidara thought as he entered the office-like room.
"You wanted me, yeah." He began.
"Yes, Deidara. Since you are the one who is the most experienced with explosives I would like for you to put some of your little sculptures in the snake and rabbit holes outside. I would ask Tobi, but I'm pretty positive he would blow himself up. So that's why I'm asking you."
Deidara sighed, "Sure, yeah. No disrespect or anything, leader, but, when can I go on a mission? Preferably one without Tobi singing 'ding fries are done' the whole time."
"Consider this a mission. Sure, it's a chore but it's got to be done. Oh, and you can chat with Kisame, he's out there cleaning the pond, willingly." Pein said coolly.
Without any further argument, Deidara set off towards outside. He walked through the main hallway and went out the front door. As he opened the door, the sun blinded his visible blue eye. As he shielded his eye, he heard Kisame out in the pond, talking to the fish. Why does he talk to them? Do they really talk back, yeah? Wow, today must be far over 80. Stupid weatherman. With that thought Deidara took off his cloak to be in only a pair of jeans and a white shirt bearing his arms, which he never did show often.
"Whoa Deidara! I see you got rodent duty! Haha!" Kisame shouted with a shark like grin. Deidara responded with a dirty look. "Wow, your pissy today! It's not so bad being out here today. It's wonderful out! The water is fantastic and the fish are talkative. When you're done, you should come swim!" Kisame was being over-enthusiastic today. Deidara just sighed and walked into the shoulder-high grass.
Deidara was placing a small explosive animal in every hole he could find. While doing so, he has an eerie feeling… Like he was being stalked? No, more like watched. Deidara kept glancing over his shoulder to make sure Tobi wasn't going to spring out of no where and scare him. The slightly cool breeze made the grass shake, causing Deidara to look all around to see if he could spy something, or someone watching him.
What's wrong with me today, yeah? I think Tobi is waiting to scare me again. As Deidara thought this, a piece of grass whipped him in the face.
"Gah! Stupid grass, yeah!!" Deidara openly shouted.
Sakura's POV
"Ugh! I can't wait till I blow this shit up so all of this can be gone!" A voice yelled from 3 feet away from her. Sakura was so close to being done. She got a great shot of the house, a fantastic shot of Kisame swimming around talk to fish. The whole talking to fish thing seemed a tad bit odd to her. It had taken her only three hours to get here. So, this better be worth whatever she would get for this mission.
"Tsunade better be happy with this. Or I swear…" Sakura whispered to herself.
"Hey! Is anyone in here, yeah?" The same voice called. "Tobi, if that's you, I swear to god that I will blow up your sorry, stupid little ass. There are explosives everywhere, yeah! So I recommend you getting out of there, yeah!"
Sakura looked around. In every single little hole there was a cream colored sculpture. She had been detected by Deidara. She knew it was him. It was the same guy who killed Gaara. Sakura resented him deeply for that.
"You have to the count of five to get out of there!" The guy shouted.
"Oh shit!" Sakura whispered to herself again. "I got to get out of here!" Sakura began to turn around, still crouching, when she hit something hard that knocked her over.
"Deidara, is this who you're yelling at?" A familiar voice asked. Sakura already knew who it was, Kisame. She almost didn't dare to look up.
Damn! Ughh! What am I supposed to do?! I can't run! If I move I'm sure Deidara will make his sculptures explode!
"Surprise!" Kisame shouted."Nice to see you again." Kisame said, "Now, tell me what you're doing here, girl and maybe I'll let you go. But no guarantee." Kisame drew his gigantic sword.
"Well, um… I came here to…" Sakura began, "I came here to see if I could possibly join the Akatsuki!" Sakura bluntly lied.
Kisames left eyebrow shot up. "Really? Wait…" He examined her. "Oh, shit! What am I thinking? You have a damn camera in your hand! You were spying weren't you? Deidara! Blow this area up!" At that moment Kisames sword handle had smacked Sakura in the back of the head, knocking her out.
Deidara's POV
"Kisame? What are you doing?" Deidara asked, completely confused. "It's not Tobi is it?"
"No, it's not. It's that leaf ninja. You know, the pink haired one. She was taking pictures of us." Kisame snarled.
"Oh, her. Sakura her name, yeah? Something like that. But, didn't she say she wanted to join?"
"Hah!" Kisame almost yelled. "No! She had a camera you idiot! She didn't want to join! It was a lie!"
"Oh, yeah. Did you kill her?"
"No, I think I just knocked her out. Hey, I'm going to go inside… Let's not tell the leader about this, okay? Just blow up your holes and her of course, and go inside. Nothing will ever happen, deal?"
Deidara couldn't believe Kisame just said. He stood there completely dumbfounded while his thoughts jumped all over. He started to ask, "Don't you think the leader will find out about it anyways? He always does somehow. Why can't we just snatch the camera, give her amnesia and set her off towards Konoha?"
"So you're saying you want to save her? Aw, does Deidara have a little crush on her? How cute!" Kisame snickered while Deidara blushed. "Fine, do as you please, but I was never here."
"Um, okay, yeah. Oh, and Kisame, I don't have a crush on her. I don't even know her!"
"Hah. Sure. Whatever. Bye!" Kisame said as he sprang towards inside.
Just blow her up and get over it. Deidara thought, it will be like she never existed.
Deidara sighed once again, "Maybe if I delay the explosion I won't feel as bad… Okay, here it goes, yeah! Katsu!"
Then, Deidara saw her, struggling to stand up. Explosions closing in on her. His thoughts were all over. Save her. Don't save her. Save her. Don't save her. Save her. Don't saver her! Save her! Don't save her! SAVE HER! DON'T! SAVE! NO!
"That's it!" Deidara shouted at himself, the explosions still inching closer and closer. "Damn you, mother, yeah!"
At that moment, Deidara lunged himself towards her. He wrapped his arms tight around her, picked her up and sprinted away. But, it was too late. The section had exploded as he passed it shooting him, still holding her, into the air and beyond.
