A kunai flew passed you at practically the speed of sound. Your eyes widened and your mouth dropped. A dark shadow ran towards you and knocked you down. You tried to dodge it but just fell down. What's wrong with me? I'm…I'm so weak! He hit you again. Blood stained your lips. What's happening?! Your entire life flashed through your eyes until you got to where you were now… and then went into the future. Just one glimpse of what you were going to look like, what state your life seemed to be in… and who you who'd you be with. Everything was black and white and fuzzy, but it was becoming more clear. Well, until that dark shadow came up to you and well, you know.

You never saw the whole picture, just three figures acting happy. You didn't see aay faces or very good scenery, but you could tell which one was you. You seemed happy with a person, and that's all.

But you didn't die. You simply woke up.

Eww… I'm so sweaty, you thought. You were also panting and was tangled in your sheets. It was around 5 o'clock AM and you were fully awake and energized. Having all the rest you got yesterday, you didn't need to fall back asleep. Instead you took a nice long shower. Once you did that you put on your black shorts that went down to your mid thigh with a blue v-neck shirt with fish nets under it, and a long black, flowing jacket. You kept your hair down and went out to the hall. You tried to find your way to the kittening, knowing there was a door to outside near there. You went down a couple of hallways, got lost and found your way back to your room. The you started again and went into another circle. And then another. It got really annoying so you just stayed in your room. It turned 6:30 until a knock came to your door. You went and found Deidara.

"Hey there ___, you want to see some explosions un?"

"Oh, sure!"

"Alright, I'll show you the training grounds, un. Come follow me."

You nodded and followed. While you were walking you payed close attention to where you were going. You were definitely going to go out a lot. It turned out you went down every hall except for one or two, but found that the door wasn't through the kitchen, but another door at the end of some other hall. Deidara opened the door to a big huge field.

"We better hurry, it's gonna start raining soon, un."

"Really? It's barely cloudy though."

"Trust me, it's going to rain un."

"Okay."

He grinned and said. "Alrighty, time for some art." He put his hand in a bag and waited a few seconds until he pulled out these two tiny birds.

"Aww!!! They're so cute!" you said.

"Watch this un." he said with a gleam in his eye. He threw the birds into the sky and they changed into two gigantic white birds. You gasped as you watched them fly around in the sky.

"Here comes the fire works ___"

You payed close attention to the birds as they collided and bursted into a beautiful aurora of reds, oranges and yellows.

"That was amazing Deidara!"

"You really liked it un?"

"Heck yah! That was beautiful! How did you do that?"

"It's my jutsu actually un." He waved at you to show the hands on his mouth.

"Whoa! " You came up to him and grabbed his hand, palm up. "Oh my gosh! Your so amazing!" Maybe I shouldn't have said that… He chuckled and said,

"Thanks, you are too un."

"Oh please, you haven't seen my jutsu yet. But it's so boring compared to yours."

"I doubt that, but we'll see when you battle Hidan tonight. "

"Oh yeah… which one's Hidan again?"

"The one with the cursing problem, un."

"Ohhhh, that one…OH…THAT one! You mean the one with the huge scythe? "

"Heh, yup. Be careful with him. He's obsessed with killing too, un. But don't worry too much, it should be a short battle, un."

"Yeah, I hope so."

But really, you weren't too sure that he meant a "short battle" because Hidan was going to finish you, or that the time limit was short. I hope he's talking about time!

After a while of hanging outside, you guys went inside and ate some breakfast. Everyone seemed to be on a mission or still sleeping. Deidara described all the Akastuki members and showed you where everything is. You have lots of laughs together and chatted the day away. Well, until some people disturbed you.

"Aww, look at you two love birds." said Kisame.

"Shut up! We're friends un." Deidara yelled.

"But isn't that what they all say? And isn't she a tad bit young for you? I mean a 13 year old?!" He winked at you.

"Um…," You chuckled, " I'm 16." you corrected.

"Going on 60." Hidan said as he walked by.

"Hidan that was terribly rude." said Konan. Where'd she come from… Hidan turned paused before turning around and spewing curses under his breath and left the room.

"I came to remind everybody that you have 5 minutes before showing up at the training grounds." She said then exited.

"Oh man! That reminds me! I completely forgot that I don't have any kunai or weapons with me!"

"Waddaya need? Whatever you use, Sasori probably has," said Kisame. "His puppets are packet full of them."

"Or you could just use mine, un, " said Deidara. "You have to sharpen all of his first and there's no time for that, un."

"Oh! That's be great, thanks."

"No problem," he got up and took off his tool belt and kunai holster. "Here you go, un."

"Thanks so much!" you said as you put them on. You had to adjust it bit, but it fit pretty well.

"How adorable," said Kisame.

"Get out. Now ,un…."

Kisame laughed and left grinning. Now it was just the two of you again.

"Good luck."

"Thanks."

And with that, you left to the training grounds, wet from the earlier rain. Everyone was there except for Hidan, Kakuzu and you guys. You saw everybody and could identify them for the first time. You sat on the bleachers with everybody until Hidan came strolling in, almost strutting, and went to the middle of the field. It's like he was saying he could beat you within minutes.

"Be careful ___" Deidara said as you got up. Your eyes met.

"I will." While you turned away time seemed to slow down until your eye contact disappeared. You could still feel his gaze on you as you walked away. When you go to the middle of the field and saw Hidan acting all high and mighty, thinking he can beat you, you felt the same. A grin came onto your as if you were his mirror.

"You battle will start in exactly 30 seconds. You have until the second dark falls to show us what you can do ___. Don't hold back and act as if your life depended on it. You have 10 seconds left.

"Get ready little girl." Hidan said.

I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

"Start."

Hidan gave a crazy hoot and grabbed his scythe. He charged full on.

Amateur.

You dodged his blow coming from behind, seeing through his illusion. While he swung his weapon you used it as a spring board and launched yourself into the air. There is where you preformed your jutsu. You did multiply hand signs and pressed your hand against the air as if there was a wall there.

"Physic transparency justsu!"

After that, you stood on air. You could now walk any where in space using this jutsu, and no one could see the transparent wall you made with your mind. You could drop when you wanted and land on another space. But that was only the beginning of your jutsus'.

"Da freak?"

"Come and get me tough guy!"

You laughed. But this wouldn't be fun if there wasn't any fighting. You dropped and was heading in a straight line, but then switch direction to be in back of Hidan. He saw you and grabbed your leg as you were about to kick him and swung with his scythe with his open hand. But you simply laid back to dodge, still with him holding your leg. You jumped with your free leg and swung that at him, but he blocked that too but had to let your leg go. You were fighting an intense tai jutsu battle until you both pulled out kunai and were locked. He was winning and was over powering you. Once your kunai gave in he threw his kunai at you to make you bend back, but came back with his scythe from behind.

It was going to be too late. You started to make hands signs knowing you couldn't possibly make it.

You closed your eyes and hoped that you'd made it time, but the heard nothing but something like shattering glass.

A transparent purple wall appeared right between you and the contact of the scythe. The massive weapon just poked your back but the wall prevented it from slicing you in half. Ha, how do you like my mind barrier.

The scythe ripped through your clothing just a little bit, probably cut you but nothing lethal.

But…. why was Hidan smirking?
