AN: Oneesan: Older Sister. Otouto: Younger Brother

Third Person P.O.V.

Kiri swam towards Deidara, he swam backwards. Her mouth turned up into a smirk. She vanished and appeared behind him, putting an arm around his neck. "See, that would have been easy." She whispered into his ear. He chuckled slightly.

"But you didn't kill me un." He replied, removing her arm from his neck.

"That's because currently you present no threat." Kiri responded, swimming back towards the shore.

Deidara stared after her,"If you only knew un..." He said to himself softly.

Kiri's P.o.v.

I looked back to see him just treading water, he was staring after me. I looked back to the shore, then back to him. I sighed, swimming back towards him. Once I was beside him I smiled. "I decided to not leave you swimming out here alone." I said quietly.

He looked at me, a tinge of something I couldn't place was in his eyes. But it quickly disappeared. There was a frown stretched across his face. I brought my hand to the surface of the glistening water. And moved it flat palmed toward him, causing the water to rise and splash all over his face.

Droplets ran down his canary yellow hair. I noticed then that he wasn't wearing his headband. Maybe he hadn't worn it into the water. His blue-gray eyes stared at me. He was clearly amused. His hand came sweeping across the water top. Causing a wave of water to cascade down over me. My bangs covered my eyes, and my hair clung tightly to my head.

I flung my arms out, searching for him. When my hands came in contact with his chest, I gave him a hard shove. I felt me lose contact. I flicked my bangs from my eyes and laughed. He resurfaced, his hair covering all his face. He took his hand and swept it to it's normal state, or as close as it could be to normal.

"I think this is the most I've laughed in a while." I said, while taking in a deep breath.

"Why's that un?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know actually." There was a tint of surprise in my voice.

He stared at me for a moment. I looked away, towards the shore. I swam quickly over quickly. Climbing onto the shore I threw myself onto the nearest rock, I decided to lay there to dry off. I could hear Deidara walking onto the shore. A shadow hovered over my closed eyes. I didn't open them until I felt water dropping onto me. It fell onto my face, little drops landed onto my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes to see Deidara standing over me, droplets of water falling from his bang. I scowled, "You're blocking my sun."

He stood there for a moment longer, then sat on the rock next to me. He propped himself up on his elbows and looked out over the lake. The water was so calm, you could see each individual fluffy white cloud. I reached down beside my rock and felt the cool touch of a small round rock. I ran my fingers over the smooth gray surface before moving my arm back. I snapped it forward and the pebble landed in the once peacefully water. Deidara looked at me, "What did you do that for un?" He inquired.

His wet mesh shirt, clung to his body. I was curious as to why he hadn't taken it off while swimming. "Because nothing lasts forever." I replied softly.

He nodded. Once I could feel that my shirt was no longer damp, nor were my shorts I stood. Walking over towards were I had laid my pants legs, and my sleeves. I slipped them back on and clipped them into place. I pranced back over to the rock and frowned. "I have to go back to the village, I have to report." I said, sadness darkening my voice.

"See you soon un." He muttered, not looking at me.

"And how pray tell do you think I'd find you?" I asked, placing my hands onto my hips.

"You don't need to, I'll find you un." He said, turning his head slowly. His blue-gray eyes showing a bit of humor.

I laughed, showing him one quick smile. I looked at Yume, patting her on the head. "Home." I told her, she looked into the woods and began to run. I waved my hand at Deidara, focused my mind and disappeared.

I re-appeared in front of the gate to the Konoha, once I was let in I headed straight to get some ramen. I pushed open the door of the orange topped building. I could see Naruto seated at the counter, devouring a bowl of the noodles. Typical him. I slid into a seat next to him. "A bowl of ramen please." I asked, he nodded and smiled at me.

"Kiri-chan! Is your mission done?" Naruto asked, looking at me. He had a long piece of ramen hanging from his mouth.

I shook my head, a grin spreading across my face. "Not even close."

"You'll finish it. Believe it." He cheered.

"I hope Naruto, I really hope." I said, wrapping my hands around my bowl of ramen. I began eating it, Naruto and I chatted for a bit. I left and walked to the Hokage Tower. The guards let me pass, I pushed open the door and kneeled in front of her desk.

"Hokage-sama." I said, bowing my head.

"Report." She demanded, not looking up from her stack of paper work.

"The whereabouts of Sennin Orochimaru are currently unconfirmed. Rumors place him somewhere between Rock country and Rain. I also sighted two Akatsuki members just outside the village. One with a orange mask covering his face. The other was wearing a hat, covering his face. Forgive me Hokage-sama I didn't get his identity."

Her eyes didn't move, just running over the lines on the page. "Forgiven, continue tracking target. Dismissed."

"Hai." I said, nodding and walking out of the room. I walked to the center of the village. There leaned against the side of a building was the spiky haired boy I called family. And his little white dog. "*Oneesan." His voice rang out, beckoning me forward.

"*Otouto," I replied walking towards him.

Akumaru walked up to me and lapped at my hand. I wiped the drool off into the leg of my pants. "Are you finished your mission?" He asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

I shook my head. "Not yet, I just came back to report." I answered.

"How much longer will it take?" He queried.

"It depends, why do you miss me beating you?" My head tilted to the side as I smirked.

"I always go easy on you." He muttered, hanging his head.

"We shall see." I said. "I have to go home, then in the morning I'm off again." He nodded Akumaru barked after me as I left. I kicked up some dirt with my foot. It spread up into the sky for a minute, then disappeared.

I ran the rest of the way home, I pushed open the door and yelled for Papa. There was no reply, so I assumed he wasn't home. I put my clothes in the washing machine to be washed, and decided to hope into the shower. The warm water ran down my shoulders, releasing the built up tension. I washed my hair and stepped out. Rubbing my hair vigorously with a towel to dry it. Then I combed it out, I pulled on a pair of light pants and a t-shirt.

"Hello?" I heard a voice call from the porch. I ran down and hugged Papa.

"I came back to report, I'm going to sleep here tonight and leave again tomorrow." I released a breath and beamed.

He smiled, his wrinkles deepening. Papa had always told me I looked like Mother. I had her heart-shaped face, and her deep brown eyes. But my hair was unique. Blonde on the top with black on the bottom, not your usual colour. But I liked it, it made me stand out.

"I'm proud of you, you've always been so strong." His voice rattled slightly.

"I love you Papa."

"I love you too Kiri, you were the greatest gift." He said, smiling and wrapping me into a tight hug. I rested my head on his shoulder, just like I used to do when I was little. I sighed deeply, pulling away to retreat upstairs to throw my clothes in the dryer. Darkness was taking over the sky. I went to my room and laid my head on my pillow. It felt nice to sleep in your own bed. And then tomorrow I was off again.
