Disclaim: No own. Kishi does. 83
Coral: Say thank you Deina!
Deina (CoughDeidaracough): Un! (waves)
Naruto: After all this, I should have a hefty salary. 3X
Coral: Okay guys? This story might contain vast proportions of seriousness, so don't be too ready to laugh.
Art is a Bang, un! Chapter 4!
Naruto screamed in fury as he ran left and right. "Where is he?! Where is that guy, dattebayo?!"
People from down the light yelped and screeched, holding onto whatever they could for the sake of survival as the Kyuubi container rushed through the streets with the might of a thousand men!
"DEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNAAAAAA!!"
"Deina" in the meantime chuckled. His little game with the kyuubi was proving to be more fun than expected! He narrowed his unseen eye in excitement. Reminding himself that he still needs to get Naruto to trust him completely, he recalled every single event that has happened. Yes, every single little jerk of clumsiness had a reason... To gain Naruto's trust. Even that silly little kiss held the purpose to drop the Genin's guard... And there was a bit of something that he didn't count on at all... The enjoyment of such.
'Is everything going according to plan, Deidara?'
"Hai, Leader-sama. Hmph. It's all going well, yeah." He answered while hiding in a secluded part of the forest. He glance up at the treetops, the sun's rays shimmering through the branches... No wonder Konoha is widely visited. He chuckled a bit hearing the Genin's loud bellow. "You'll soon have the ninth Jinchuuriki... Yeah."
'How long do you suppose before you can capture him?'
"With any luck within this month, un."
'Good. Currently, I've sent Sasori and Tobi off to Suna to retrieve the one tailed bijuu.'
"Tobi? Why him? I thought he's just an Akatsuki-member-to-be?"
'While it is true, I can't have Sasori roaming about without a partner, thus I temporarily enlist Tobi. The reason why you are there in Konoha without one is because this is a mission you requested yourself. No help, remember?'
"Hai, Hai." Deidara said tiredly. "I know, un."
'Good. I expect a report soon.'
With that, the link was cut and Deidara placed the hat back on. Wiggling because of the large brown overcoat that he wore that was uncomfortable, he leapt back up to the rooftops of Konoha buildings. From there, he spotted the sad Genin walking pathetically into the training grounds.
Smirking in his hat, he was just about to leap down to molest- er, hug the boy when out of nowhere (so it seems) a guy came rushing toward the said blond. Deidara narrowed his eyes and stealthily whooshed over to some nearby bushes. 'Hm... And just who is he?'
Naruto turned his head sadly, then widened his eyes at the sight. "Eeh? Neji? What are you doing here?"
"Saw you moping around. The others forced me to come here for something." Neji answered blankly with a stoic annoyed face.
See, what happened was that Naruto practically tore down the ramen shop in his sorrow to find Deina, but alas, no such luck. The other Chuunins gathered round and discuss the weirdness of Naruto being so glum. It was then given a vote as to who should cheer him up. Unfortunately, that person was Neji.
Naruto stared in dismay. "And you're telling me all this?!"
Shrug. "You needed to know the truth." The long haired boy then looked toward the other. "So what's wrong?"
The blond bit his lip in hesitation. Did he really want to tell Neji that he was ACTUALLY having trouble with his MISSION? He shook his head. "Iie. I can handle it." He murmured looking to the ground.
Neji wrinkled his brow. "What do you mean, Naruto?" The Jounin leaned over the Genin, trying to recieve a clear answer. Their faces were close, blue eyes meeting pale.
Unfortunately, what could a have been a picture perfect yaoi moment for NejiNaru lovers was interrupted by a huge brown happy package!
"Uuuun!" Deina cried happily as he hugged his friend. Indeed was he happy to find him.
"D-Deina?!"
"Un!" said the guy bobbing his head up and down.
"Where were you?!" Naruto cried in relief hugging the other tightly.
"Un!"
"I don't know what that means, but I don't care! I finally found you!"
Neji stared. "Don't you mean he found you?"
Those words hit the Genin hard on the head.
"Who is he anyway?"
"Huh? Uh nothing! Just my mission! I have to find this guy-" Naruto's voice trailed off in realization. Oh yeah! He had to find Deina's soulmate! Ignoring Neji entirely and not noticing Deina's snickers, He grabbed the guy and ran off in persuit of another girl.
Neji blinked before closing his eyes. Too much angst totally isn't good for a guy.
"Okay Deina, Now's the time that you find the date you deserve." Naruto said flatly.
Deina opened his arms out indicating for a hug. "Un!"
"No! Not me, you need a girl!"
Cursing inwardly, Deina kicked the ground. "Un."
"Anyway, according to your profile, you could find a girlfriend in..." He stared at the survey. "Ino!" Snickering inwardly, 'Perfect! Now he won't go after Sakura-chan!'
"Un!" A flapping noise was made as he shook his head like a dog.
"Oh grow up already, Deina! How do you know you'll hate her if you don't try?" Naruto grinned and pushed Deina towards the blond's house. "Just leave all the arrangements to me! Don't worry, I'll be there to help!"
Deina gulped a bit. As soon as they've reached the shop, he whipped around and jumped into Naruto's arms. "UUN!" He yelled in fear.
"Now don't be a chicken!" Naruto chirped as he pushed Deina to the door. Ringing it, Naruto grinned.
Upon opening the door, Ino swished her hair slightly at the sight of them. "Can I help you?"
"Hi Ino! Can you do me a favor and go out with him? He really needs a date from a really pretty girl, and you're just the one!"
Ino stared at Deina. She stared at his straw hat. She stared at the brown cloak. She stared at the dirt. She stared at the flies buzzing. She then blinked. Before she could say no, a certain lazy Chuunin with certain sand nin girl walked by talking animatedly. Her inner fire then bursted.
Deina stared as the girl suddenly latched on his arm. "Suuure!" She gushed, gazing at the couple angrilly. The poor guy sweatdropped at the syrupy thick tone of the blonde. "Un?"
"Ehehe! Well, no time like the present! Off to your date!" Naruto exclaimed pushing the two... It was perfect, fine even... But at that moment, time seemed to have frozen. A voice husky and low whispered in his ear, "I don't like it that you keep pushing me away..."
Before the Genin could find out who it was, Deina and Ino were already on their date. He blinked a little nervous. What in the world was that? He scratched the back of his neck worried.
The setting for lunch was ironically the same place that Shikamaru and Temari chose to eat. Ino scooted real close to Deina, every once in a while glancing back at the other group for signs of discontent. She closed her eyes shut. 'Okay Ino! You can do this!'
"Heeey, you!" She said happily.
"Un?"
"Oooh, say that again, it's so sexy!" Ino said.
"Un?"
"Oh yeeeaaaah..." Ino quickly whipped her head toward Shikamaru and Temari, who were still talking. They seemed quite uninterested in what Ino's doing. 'Darn it!'
Meanwhile, Deina was sweatting Niagra. What the heck is this girl doing? Doesn't she know that he has to get back at the Jinchuuriki as soon as possible? But seeing as how she keeps looking at another group, he then understood.
She had a motive to keep the two from talking together for some reason.
Deina frowned. "Un."
Ino whipped her head around. "Hmm? Oh sorry, just play along for a little bit longer, okay?" She patted Deina's back, then drawing circles. Her voice grew seductive, yet loud enough for the two to hear. "It's been a while since we've been like this, honey..."
Shikamaru glanced at their direction questioningly. What's Ino doing with that guy? Whatever, it's troublesome. He then stood. "We'll have to talk with the Hokage about this."
"Yes. If what the information says is true, then there really is an intruder." Temari then joined the shadow nin to the door.
'Oh no you don't!' Thought Ino. Grabbing Deina, she yanked the poor man over towards the entrance nearby. "Why don't we move it up to the next level?" Although Ino did not intend to do anything rash, Deina got scared.
"Uuuuun!" He waved his arms wildly.
Ino screamed as she caught a brief glimpse of what was inside the brown cloak. 'My... Hair... Stolen...'
If she had actually analyzed carefully, Deina doesn't look like Ino a whole lot at all... But then, she passed out.
Deina stared in shock. "Un?"
"Ah, so troublesome." Shikamaru muttered carrying Ino out bridal style.
Temari then grinned at Deina. "Well, see you around! Hope your date went well for the most part." She then quickly left.
Deina frowned to himself. "Un."
"Oy Deina!!" cried the familiar blonde's voice. Naruto ran in just in time to see... No Ino. "Eh? Where did Ino go?"
Deina then tried to perform his civil duty by explaining everything to the Genin. "Un, un un, un un un un un un un, Uuuun, un un un un!" (Un! translator: Well, you see, I was dating Ino when, booom, she just fainted!)
"What?!"
"Un!"
"I said stop saying un, dattebayo!" A fist collided with Deina's poor forehead.
"Uuuuunnnn..." Deina sniffed. He then leaned close to Naruto.
"Huh? What is it?"
"Un."
"I have no idea what you've just said! Can't you speak anything OTHER than un?!" Naruto roared.
"Uuuuuuuuuuun!" Deina cried hugging Naruto tightly, as if saying, I'm sorry! Give me another chance!
"Okay, not Ino, then we're going to try someone else!"
Deina pointed at a nearby clock.
"Eh?! Your bed time already? But it's only noon!"
"Uun..."
"You take afternoon naps? What the heck?!"
Deina then led Naruto back to the hotel happily. "Un!"
"NO! I'm not going to watch you go to sleep, it's boring and it's stupid!" Naruto shouted. "Can't you at least try to get someone?"
"Un!" Deina shook his head.
"WHAT?! You're the one who made the mission in the first place! You wanted a freakin' soulmate, but who'd want a guy dressed up like that, who has curfew, afternoon naps, and only says UN?!" Naruto sobbed. "I'll never get it done!"
Deina patted Naruto on the back. "Un!" and he laid Naruto on the bed. He then walked to a cd player and pressed a button. Soft lulling music filled the air, soothing.
Naruto yawned as his eyes grew heavy. "Mmn? Deina... That sounds really nice..."
Deina sat next to the soon to be sleeping Genin. He was then surprised to find himself embraced.
"Deina... I hope we can become good friends... 'ttebayo..." With that the boy was asleep.
Deina stared for a moment, then took off his hat. "Well... Looks like I'm beginning to gain your trust... Heh." He then gathered up the Jinchuuriki into his arms... Whispering. "It won't be long before I have you... And you'll become mine... Un." He then licked one of the boy's whiskered cheeks slowly. "Huh. Have you been eating ramen while trying to find me? Figures." He turned Naruto's face towards him. "There will come a time when I show you my art... And when I do... You'll become... My masterpiece." And he sealed that promise with a soft kiss, so as to not awaken him. It was definitely a good thing that Naruto was such a deep sleeper.
