Poisoned Heart

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters, because if I did Sakura would be dead, Sasuke would be dead (thanks to chapter 358 TT), Orochimaru would've been taken care of sooner and the Akatsuki would be ruling the world with sunshine and smiles, yeah. Oh yeah, and Sasori would be my bishie. .

Chapter 3

The brunette looked up into the warm sun and stretched. "Ah! It's been awhile since I've last seen the sky." She turned to Deidara and Sasori, giving them a sweet smile, "Thanks for getting me out of that place."

Deidara and Sasori, who were a few feet away from the girl, took note of her strange behavior. Deidara waved back, while speaking to Sasori, "I may have only known her for an hour, but I can definetely tell she's ready to run, un." Sasori's indifferent gaze watched Torah as they began to walk again.

"No doubt."

The two nins fell quiet as soon as Torah approached them.

"Hey, do you mind if we stop somewhere real quick before we set out?" the fake smile still lay on her lips.

Sasori returned the smile, giving him the appearance of an angel. (Kawai/// )

"Not at all…"

Deidara forced a smile too, "Sure." I know it's fake, but damn she is cute when she smiles!

some time later la la la

The soon arrived to a small house that sat near the outskirts of the village. Torah walked through the open doorway and into the house. After walking down a couple of hallways, Torah disappeared into a room.

Sasori and Deidara waited in the hallway for several minutes, Deidara took note of how long she had been in there.

"Hey Danna."

"…hm?"

"She sure is taking her time."

"So?"

"So, maybe….do ya thinks she could've-

The two looked at each other at the realisation of what had happened. Cursing himself for being so careless, Sasori burst into the room with Deidara at his heels only to find Torah, half-naked, just snapping on a black bra. (Mind you, they don't seem to supply underwear in prison. Sorry, this just had to be done )

Sasori blinked a few times in surprise, while he tried to get a hold of the scenario, unfortunately a heavy book hit him square in the forehead before he knew what was going on.

Deidara came into the room just as the book made contact, "Sasori-danna! What hap-

The blonde quickly realized what had thrown the book as soon as he looked up, big mistake. Deidara's face quickly turned as red as Sasori's hair, just before a lamp connected with his face.

"YOU LITTLE PERVERTS!!" Torah grabbed a clay sculpture from the dresser, threatening to throw it while trying to cover herself with the prison uniform she just took off.

Just as soon as the sculpture went airborne, the two nins were already out into the hallway. Deidara slumped against the wall and let out a sigh, "Geez, I didn't expect that…" The Iwa nin's wise-ass smirk returned, "Hey danna…"

Sasori who had been staring at the wall very hard, looked at Deidara, "What?"

Deidara's smirk turned into a grin, "I betcha' if it wasn't for your body, there would've been a puddle of blood at your feet right now, un."

Sasori's eyes began to show traces of a glare, "What are you implying? The book would have only caused a bruise."

"I wasn't talking about your forehead, un."

Sasori glared, at the blonde for his stupid sense of humor, "….Deidara…" the puppet master was just about hit Deidara, when the two heard someone behind them.

Torah stood at the doorway, the mist shinobi was now wearing a black tank top with a grey chesire cat printed on the front, and grey shorts. A pouch hung from the back of her shorts, inside was a number of senbon, shuriken, a few medical scrolls, and explosive tags. Torah tugged at the gloves that ended at her wrist, the fingers for the gloves were cut off for better grip. Also, where the gloves had ended, fishnet extended up to her elbows. Her dark brown hair fell down her back, the headband still in it's place.

Deidara gaped at the girl, Torah cocked her head in question.

"What?"

Sasori stepped between them, completely unfazed by Torah's appearance, "I'm guessing you're ready to go?"

Torah nodded, "Yeah, let's go already."

outside

Deidara cocked his head with a quizzical expression, "So, you're coming with us?"

Torah frowned, "I never said anything about joining you…" The girl turned on her heel and began walking in the opposite direction. Before she had even put some distance between them, Torah sensed a small shift in the air. Torah shifted her weight into one leg and spun around to face her attacker. A flash of metal, then searing pain sliced Torah's chest.

Torah's leg buckled under her and the girl hit the ground. Torah looked up at her attacker, even though she already had a pretty good guess. Torah was just about to charge after him when a strange scent caught her nose, "Poison…"

Sasori held out his katana, "Such a smart girl…" Torah could've sworn she had glimpsed a look of triumph in his blank eyes. "As you can see…we want you to reconsider your answer. If you answer correctly, well…" Sasori's free hand dipped inside his cloak and pulled out a small bottle filled with a red liquid. "Also the poison takes effect rather quickly, so I'd best hurry up if I were you, the results are…quite fatal."

Torah glared up at the puppet freak, Great, I just bust out of that crap hole and now I fall into another one. My day just keeps getting better…

Sasori gave her a hollow smile, "Tick tock…"
