Deidara's POV
Dark. It was still dark out when I woke up. I looked at the clock to realize it was 6am...Why had I woken up at 6am? Probably has something to do with the lunch I had planned at 11...I got up, put on my disguise, and proceeded to head banging against a tree, as I was actually looking forward to this 'date' with Hinata...some villain I was being. Of course...even after the time I took to get ready, it was still only 7am, 4 hours from said date, I needed to do something to occupy myself till then, I guess I'd go spy on Sakura, who was the only one who'd really have any info worth knowing. So off I went to find Sakura. I checked the hospital, then hung out near the Hokage's office, to no avail, I guess she was out...I was really getting bored with this whole 'spy on the Kunoichi' thing. If I'm gonna sneak in Konoha, wouldn't it be better to maybe, Oh, I dunno, spy on Tsunade herself? Or better yet, steal some documents? But whatever, orders were orders...I guess I'll just walk around town for a few hours. Maybe I should consider this mission a vacation or something as that's more what it seemed like. I turned a corner to head towards the shopping area. When I ran into someone, and, upon closer inspection, that someone was Hinata...I wasn't sure if this was lucky, or incredibly misfortunate.
"Oh! D-dei-san! G-good morning." She got up, brushed herself off, then started apologizing for running into me.
"Um...good morning, un" Was my rather confused reply. I was somewhat worried now, worried that if I spend to much time with her...No, no way. Not gonna happen so there's no reason to think about it. I brushed off my troubling thoughts, and returned my focus to Hinata. "So um...What are you doing around so early, un?" was my feeble attempt to start a conversation.
"Oh, I have a few errands to run for my Sensei, I have to deliver some items. W-what about you Dei-san?" She was smiling at me.
Odd girl, I'm still practically a stranger and yet...she seems to really enjoy talking to me. "Oh, uh...I kinda got up a bit too early, and...was worried I'd sleep in to long if I went back to bed...un." Damn, what was I getting myself into?
"I see," She smiled again, "Well...I only have to deliver one more thing, after that...you wanna hang out till we get lunch?" She looked a bit nervous, and was messing with her fingers.
"Uh...sure I guess, un." Wait a sec, no, no, no, I can't just agree to hang out with her, what the hell is wrong with me! "Wai-" But I was cut off.
"R-really? I'll hurry then! W-would you..mind waiting for me here for a little please?" She was definetly blushing when saying that.
I'm so screwed. No way I can refuse now...that'd just be rude...Yeah, cause it's rude. That's really my only reason. I kept telling myself that the entire time I was waiting too. Though I knew in the back of my mind, that my worries were slowly coming to pass...
I only had to wait about 10 minutes in all, not very long, before she came running back, panting quite heavily to... "The hell? Did you run a marathon or something, un?" I hadn't even meant to say that out loud, but it was a bit to late for that...
"Oh...um...hehe, I guess I rushed a bit to much, I-I'm kinda out of breath..."
"Mmm...if you say so...so um, what exactly are we gonna do till 11, un?" I really was wondering how far exactly she had to go for her errand but, I somehow doubted she'd answer.
"Well...um...maybe we could...um...g-go for..a-a walk?" she stuttered then looked at her feet.
"Um...ok, un?"
It was silent for a moment as we both just stood there. I decided this was getting awkward... "So.. um, where are we walking to, un?"
"Um...m-maybe to the field I always hang out at." She fidgeted.
"Which is where exactly, un?" Of course, I knew since I'd been spying but, I figured that saying 'Oh yeah I know that's where I was spying on you with Ino and Tenten!' wouldn't get me a very good response. And the one it would get would involve a bunch of Anbu and me running.
"Um...It's a few minutes walk past Konoha's main gate...J-just follow." She walked away, looking back at me to see if I was coming.
I reluctantly followed her though, and we headed towards the field. The silence was getting quite awkward again...but I really wasn't great at starting conversations...
"Um...D-dei-san?" She stuttered. Why did she always stutter my name? Well, 7 out of 10 times at least..., "So uh...why do you always say that sound after every sentence?"
"Eh?" I stared at her blankly. "Oh, you mean un?"
"Y-yeah that." she stared at the floor. was she embarrassed for asking or something?
"Um...I dunno, force of habit I guess, un?" Hmmm...why do I say un? I don't remember ever not saying it...when did it start...I wondered about this for a moment. "Why? Does it bother you, un?"
"N-no, not at all..." she trailed off, "I think its a cute habit."
Wait what? I just stopped and stared at her at that point. She took a few more steps before turning around nervously...
"Di...did I say that out loud...?" she gave a nervous smile.
"Um...yes." I wasn't even sure what to think at this point, but. Oh crap. She just passed out...now what do I do? I face palmed. I guess I have to carry her somewhere...I can't leave her on the ground...So I picked her up, and carried her to the field...wait, I wasn't supposed to know where this was, I hope she's to confused when she wakes up to ask...and... I'm so gonna get fired from the Akatsuki if they find out...and being fired probably involves being chased and killed... How annoying, why did I have to get involved with such an annoying organization anyway? Oh yeah, Itachi owned my ass, and I was forced to join...I'm going to really have to kill him when I get back from this vacation...I mean, lame mission.
"mmm..."
Eh? Oh, she's waking up. I wonder if I should be glad or worried? Whatever, I'll just have to distract her from asking any details about how I got here. "Oh, are you awake, un?"
"Hmm?" She sat up, and looked at me, "U-Um, I...I di-did...ntmea..n to-tott..s-a...y th-th-th..." she muttered, making no sense whatsoever.
"What? You're making no sense, un... I really don't get why you'd faint over something so small, you should calm down, and before you start, you don't need to apologize either, un, you've done nothing wrong." Sigh...I really did not like the way this mission was turning out.
"U...um...I'm so- I mean, Ok." She looked around. "Um...Dei-san..."
"Hmm?"
"H-how did I get here?"
"Oh um...I carried you after you passed out..." Her face went bright red. Oh great what if she asked how I knew where this was...I need to think of an excuse, and fast...
"Um...H-how did you know where this was?" Yup, she asked...
"Um..." Think Deidara think... "I uh...just kept walking and found it eventually, un" Hmm...I guess that's not the worst excuse I could have come up with...
"Oh. I see..." She looked as the ground. Again. I swear she spent more time looking down then anything.
"You know, you don't have to freak out every time someone talks to you, un. And it's rude to look at the ground. Also, Don't apologize, I'm not mad at you, just saying, un" Suddenly I was starting to feel like her mentor or something...Seriously, I was acting very un-villain like...
"D-dei-kun..." she blushed and started to look down, but stopped and looked back up at me when she noticed, "T-thank you." She grinned.
"You don't have to thank me, un..." And now I was just confused. I really wasn't following what was going in in her mind right now..
Hinata's POV.
Wow, today was already going weirdly and not even halfway into it...Dei's going to think I'm hitting in him or something if I keep saying odd things.. 'Wait, what if I am hitting on him? What is wrong with me? How can I just go from loving Naruto to...to liking some stranger? But..he was really nice, and, he keeps saying such kind encouraging things. I feel like I can stop being so nervous if I talk to him more...Wait, what time is it anyway' I stopped my inner rant and looked at my watch... "Ah!"
"What?" He looked surprised at my sudden outburst.
"I-it's almost 11. W-we're late for the l-lunch we planned." I made sure to look right at him while speaking. "U-um, I'll take you to the restaurant." I Grabbed his arm and pulled him with me without even thinking. "Ah! I-I-I'm sorry!"
"It's fine, un.." He looked somewhat annoyed, and also surprised, probably from my suddenly grabbing him.
"O-ok...A-anyway. F-follow me ok?" I stuttered. A habit I really wished to be rid of. Honestly we got there far faster then I'd expected. I hadn't expected Dei to be so fast. I thought I'd accidently outran him when I took a rather...difficult shortcut over some fences and various debris. But he kept up easily. I wondered if he had any shinobi training? Regardless of that, we made it to the restaurant just a few minutes after 11.
"So...seeing as we were already together...why was the time we eat so important, un?"
"oh...um...I-I s-sorta have to..go on a mission later...so...I won't be able to go..."
"Hmmm? What kinda mission, un?" He looked a little bit to interested, but I figured there was no harm telling him.
"Oh...uh...I-if you'd like, I-I'll tell you after we order food..."
"I look forward to hearing about it, un." Hmm, this guy had weird interests, or he was a ...Nah, couldn't be.
We ordered our food and sat down. Of course he ordered the largest possible serving. Which I just stared dumbfounded for a few moments as he went at it. "Y-You act as thought y-you've been living of instant ramen or s-something..."
"I have been, un!" He shouted, "Uh, I mean ...Just pretend you didn't hear that...un."
Ok, this was awkward. Why was he living off instant ramen...? Should I even ask? "Um..."
"So, weren't you gonna tell me all about the mission your going on?" He interrupted me.
"Oh...y-yeah. Um well, it...it's nothing big really...m-me and Kiba just have to go to a village a f-few miles away and catch some bandits..." I really didn't get why he was so interested, either that or he was distracting me from asking why he was living of instant ramen..yeah. Probably that. The ramen thing would also explain why he was so wiling to come, and why his only demand was 'anything but ramen' I laughed.
"Hey, what's so funny, un." he looked confused.
I laughed more. "No need to over react, I'm only laughing, un" I said, mocking what he'd told me yesterday when he was laughing.
"Hey! You stole my line, un!" He seemed to be surprised, "And un is my thing, un, don't copy."
And at this point I'd just started laughing hysterically, probably causing a bit of a scene in the otherwise quiet restaurant. But for once, I didn't care. Today was turning out to be a great day.
Deidara's POV
I had no idea what was going on really, but Hinata had started laughing hysterically after mocking me, and, it was kinda causing a scene...I was not liking the extra attention at all either. "Hey, Hinata, calm down, you're making a scene ya know, un..."
"I-I'm s-s-sorry I can't...s-stop." she managed to say before resuming her laughing fit.
"Besides, we've been here like an hour, is your mission soon, un?" I asked hoping to distract her from laughing.
"Oh. I-I still have about half an hour left..." She looked at her watch, "So...w-wanna hang out for a bit more?" she fidgeted, but kept her eyes on me. A definite improvement.
"Um...I kinda have a job to do..un."
"Hmm? W-what kinda job?" she looked curious.
Crap. I can't tell her I'm an Akatsuki spy... "Um...um..." there was silence for a few moments while I tried and failed to come up with something. "I kinda can't tell...yeah...sorry, un." was my failure of a cover-up.
"Hmm. I see..." She looked deep in thought...hopefully no thoughts of spies or Akatsuki were in there... "I guess..I'll go get ready early then...since I won't be back for 3 days I have some packing to do and all." She sat there and stared for a minute. "Um...D-dei-kun?"
"Hmm?"
"D-d-d-do you think...w-we could...um...d-d-do this again?" She stuttered horribly.
"Eh? I guess...But why, I thought this was just to make up for running into me yesterday, un." Oh god what have I gotten myself into...I'm so dead if Leader finds out about any of this. Or..maybe i can say this was to get more info, yeah, I'm sure that's fine, I can just befriend her and use her for info on missions and stuff. Yeah, that's perfectly fine.
"Um..w-w-wwell I-I-I uh..." She continued to stutter horridly. Making no sense whatsoever.
"Ok, yeah, you're not makin' any sense, un..."
"I-I'm sorry, I uh...y-you're k-kinda...f-f-fun t-t-to h-hang out w-with I-I guess.." Ok that made a bit more sense. But me? Fun? That's new. Regardless of that tho, I guess I have to go find another one to spy on for a while unless... I follow Hinata on her mission or something, But I was only told the general outline of her mission anyway, not like I could. "So um. What time are you going to leave Konoha exactly for your mission, un?" I mentally kicked myself so very hard at that.
"Um...around 4pm. Why?" She titled her head.
"Oh.. No reason really. I was just curious, un." Ok so I did have plenty of time to get ready and follow her. Tenten and Ino wouldn't be worth my time anyway, and Sakura...I couldn't even find her today. I assume by some of what I overheard the other day, she was on a week vacation or something with Temari in Suna. A place I sure as Hell was not going to. I'd have the entire country after me if I was even seen after what I did there. "Well, I guess I have to go now, there's something I have to go get back at my uh..house...See you around I guess, un" I headed back to my house.
Alright. I guess I'll just take everything, I don't want someone to find this place while I'm not here and figure out that I've been spying on them. So I packed up the few things I had a small bag, threw on my Akatsuki robe and stuff since I wasn't planning on being seen at all on this 'trip' and headed back Konoha, Of course. Hinata's house was definetely not a good place to sneak into, seeing as I'd rather not risk being spotted by another Hyuga, I just hung out on a rooftop near the entrance to wait. and sure enough, at around 4pm she emerged with a backpack and ninja clothing. I followed her from the shadows as she met up with Kiba, then headed out to whatever small village was having bandit issues. I had no idea what I had just gotten myself into...
Phew, there. edited and put up the other 2 chapters I ahd done. Probably still some errors. But whatever xD So how am I doing so far? I'm trying to make Deidara and Hinata be in denial for now xD hopefully succeeding. also trying to keep Deidara from going way OOC is hard. And I'm really not gonna go into any other characters deeply. They're just there to exist, nothing more really xD. there will be slight hinting at other couples tho. Like maybe NejiTen or whatever random pairings I get in my head. Remember to review cause it motivates me. Tho I probably wont be updating daily or anything. I'm doing a lot of things, and I have 2 more fanfic ideas and am writing a second fanfic already xD. another DeiHina one. Probably gonna upload chapter 1 later.
