Deidara and Akimoto where flying high through the clouds so no one would see them. It was quite calming. At first, Akimoto freaked out because they were flying so high, Even though she flies on her Air hawk jutsu she doesn't fly so high, But calmed down noticing it wasn't so bad and that she felt safe with Deidara, Her partner. They had been flying for half an hour before Deidara broke the silence, looking back at Akimoto. "Are you alright back there? You're awfully quiet un."

Akimoto blinked as if being pulled back from another world. "I'm sorry, Deidara-sama...I didn't want to disturb the peace, because you like quiet...Right?"

Deidara sighed. "Not that quiet, un. Well we're going to stop at accommodation in Konohagakure...The trip takes four days at the least. So we won't be recognised and stir up unnecessary panic...We will use the Transformation technique jutsu, We still have a while to go, So think up your persona un."

Akimoto nodded and Deidara turned back around to face the front. "(A transformation technique...Back to basics...Hnn.)" Akimoto was now picturing the perfect fake persona. "(Short black hair... Golden eyes...About 16...Purple clothes with bandages and a non-ninja! Brilliant if I do say so myself. Now a voice hnn...Light and chimed I suppose...Hnn!)"

After flying for about the whole day, Akimoto had fallen asleep on Deidara's shoulder, Deidara looked down and noticed a good spot to land. He nudged Akimoto and she groggily opened her eyes. Deidara sighed. "Hey, We have to land so use your transformation jutsu." Deidara clapped his hands together and a white poof of smoke appeared and revealed a seventeen year old boy with red spiky hair, grey eyes and black clothes with fishnet on his arms and legs. Akimoto did the same revealing the sixteen year old girl she had made up before she fell asleep.

They had landed and consulted what their excuse would be. It would be that they where looking for a place to stay because they had left their own country for personal reasons. It was night time and they were walking through lantern lit streets until they found a place to stay. They got a few stares and glances before they came across a rather large and fancy looking hotel. Lucky Akatsuki members got an allowance from Pain or they wouldn't be able to pay for things like this. Deidara, or Arata, his alias, Walked in the hotel dragging along Akimoto, or Izumi. There was a grey haired receptionist behind a shiny brown desk. "Can I help you?" Deidara walked up to the counter and spoke in his younger version of his voice. "Can we please stay a night, We are tired from running from our country and we need a place to stay,un." He remembered that his habit would get in the way of him acting as a different person. The lady behind the desk shot a sympathetic look at the two. "Sure. But you still need to pay the fee." Deidara nodded and handed over the money. They were then guided to a room with a double bed. There was no complaining as they had to sleep together at the hideout anyway. The person who guided them walked out and they sat on the bed, still in their transformed state. Deidara sighed. "I hope they don't come in." He transformed back. "Un." Akimoto did the same and nodded. She faced back to Deidara. "Are you tired?" Deidara got up and walked over to the bag which had their clothes in it. "Nnn" He grunted as he got out a pair of knee high shorts and a grey shirt. "I'll go get changed." Deidara walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Akimoto sighed. "(I'd better get changed too then.)" She got up and pulled out her pyjamas. She quickly slipped them on and collapsed on the bed pulling the curtain to the side a bit to see the faint glow of the streets. Deidara came out and put his clothes on the bag and sat next to Akimoto. "We'll leave early in the morning so we get time." Akimoto nodded enjoying the cool breeze coming through the window. Deidara sighed getting up and going to the opposite side of the bed and lying down. Akimoto did the same facing Deidara and admiring his long hair which wasn't in its ponytail. Deidara was already asleep. Akimoto moved a little closer to Deidara and hugged him. She fell asleep.

It was dawn when she was woken up by Deidara nudging her with his hand. "Rise and shine." Akimoto slowly opened her eyes to see that Deidara was already dressed. She sweat dropped and jumped up. "I'm sorry!" She grabbed her clothes and ran into the bathroom. Deidara raised an eyebrow. "Uh huh..."

They were at the spot which they landed the night before. Just as Deidara created an owl looking clay bird, Akimoto remembered to tell him something. "I almost forgot! There is a jutsu that runs in my family called the Air Hawk jutsu!" She made a few hand signs and a heap of wind swirled around. A few seconds later, It came to rest as a hawk shape and Akimoto hopped on. Deidara's eyes widened and he smirked. "You are full of surprises. Let's go, un."

The sun rose as a marker of how long they had been flying. They had to fly until the sun set until they could land, and then it would be a two day, non stop trip over the ocean. They would also get supplies on their next stop. The place they would stop would be close to a beach as they would be stopping on the border.

To pass time, The two flew next to each other and chat. "So, you seem to know Sasori well..." Deidara nodded and laughed. "It's really a love hate relationship. He just won't accept the true meaning of art un!" Akimoto looked at him, curious. "What does he think it is?" Deidara looked back smirking. "He thinks it's eternal, never ending, stuff like that, un. What's your opinion?" Akimoto looked confused. "On Sasori or art?" Deidara looked amused. "Art, of course!" Akimoto nodded, looking slightly embarrassed. "Well...My point of view is that art is bright, burning colours...Then disappearing forever. Well that's my view anyway..." Deidara looked in awe at Akimoto. "You truly are the most understanding of true art un!"

They landed on a dark beach in the sand. They both then encountered unneeded trouble as they where just about to transform. A ninja, in his 20s, stood before them and raised a kunai. Deidara chuckled at this useless weapon then grunted as he would have to waste his clay for this. "What's up? You really going to kill us with that?" The ninja shook. A younger ninja with yellow hair in a long ponytail came up behind the ninja in shock. "Akatsuki?" Deidara grunted again. "We really don't have the time for this..." Akimoto walked forward a bit. "I'll do it." The yellow haired ninja's eyes widened. "You...Your Akimoto, Keikai's friend! What are you doing with the Akatsuki? And where is Keikai?" Akimoto squinted trying to remember who it was. It was Ino. "Hey, your Ino. A chuunin from Konoha...Non the less, I don't have to tell you a thing. Prepare to see art! (Not as good as Deidara's, But anyway...)" Akimoto raised her palm and held her arm with her left. A white orb formed and it shone brighter than ever. She threw it. Moments later, the whole beach lay in devastation. Ino lay on the ground trying to get up. The other ninja was dead, sprawled on the ground. Akimoto walked up to Ino who was desperately trying to get up. "I hope you don't mind, Deidara-sama, But it is against my likes to leave a person half dead." She got a good old fashion explosive tag and stuck it to Ino's back and seemingly whispered something to her. There was a boom and it was all over.

Akimoto sat on the bed, slightly worried. "I'm sorry how I acted earlier..." Deidara didn't seem the slightest worried. "Hnn. It's fine. You got the job done, What does it matter." He lay down. Akimoto sat on the bed looking out a window. Deidara sighed and pulled her down on the bed and hugged her.

They had a long trip ahead.
