Disclaimer: Once again I do not own Naruto, but I own the ocs…
(=^-^=)
Deidara watched as the purple haired girl bandaged the blonde haired girl's cuts, he smiled they were in the large cream colored room that was the castle infirmary, he watched the girl who had her back turned to him, she was short with an hourglass shape, her long purple hair flowed like a river to her midback, he smiled she was his future mate she just didn't know it yet.
"Deidara stop staring at me and go get the lady… You know she has to see her friends…" The girl said as she turned to face him, her brows furrowed as she stared a the blonde she moved a strand of hair from her eye and frowned her purple eyes glinted as she moved quick and touched the side of Deidara's face, she leaned close to his ear and spoke.
"Get going or Lord Gaara will hear of this…" She whispered Deidara scowled and walked away he wasn't scared of Gaara and Linette was sure he was mad for not being afraid of their master.
Linette sighed as she walked over to the two girls who were currently asleep the blonde was covered in scrapes from being out in the woods but she would live, the other girl though was badly injured it was good thing Deidara got to her or she would have been eaten alive by those nasty wolves that lived out in the woods.
"You two are very lucky…" Linette whispered before she pulled up their covers to their necks and walked out of the room into the dark hall, before she began to hum as she walked down the hall her heels making clanking noises all the way.
(-_-)
Naruto frowned as he looked in the gold framed mirror, he was wearing a red tank top that clung tightly to his body but only went to his upper chest, that and he wore another skirt belt thing this time it was red like his top, and lastly he wore black pants and shoes. But that was not the worst of his attire he was also wearing a red hat with a feather on the side he couldn't believe Shin had talked him into wearing it.
"Hell no I'm not wearing this!" Naruto yelled as he spun around and glared at a smirking Shin, who wore a black leather trench coat, a black leather halter top and black leather pants he also held a bowl of stew and a glass of what appeared to be tea.
"Sorry M'lady but it's either that or walking nude through the castle…" Shin said as he handed Naruto the food, Naruto was about to protest before he smelled the heavenly food he hadn't eaten in so long he felt himself drool before he quickly devoured the food not even waiting to sit on the bed that sat on the far end of the bright room.
"Now M'lady you should pace yourself or you'll get sick…" Shin warned as he backed away looking a little pale it made him a little sick to see food just disappear like that. "Shut up…" Naruto mumbled before he grabbed the tea and drank it all in one gulp "Eh, I think we should go and see your friend now…" Shin said as he backed up some more he felt his stomach turn it was unnatural for someone to eat so fast.
Shin smiled uneasily before a knock sounded on the door Shin moved over to Naruto and stood protectively in front him, "Come in!" He called forcing his claws out ready to pounce if it was one of the dangerous ones that would hurt the lady.
"Hey Shin un…" Naruto stared at the boy who came through the dark wood door he had long blonde hair pulled up into a ponytail with some hair loose so that it covered one of his eyes, he reminded him of Ino in a way even his clothes reminded him of Ino the man wore a black T shirt that looked like a woman's shirt seeing as it had a V neck and only went to his belly button, he also wore a fish net top underneath and black pants but Naruto felt uneasy when he saw what the boy had on his back two leather like black wings like a bat's.
"Deidara what is it?" Shin asked as he moved from Naruto and walked over to the blonde, "So that's the new lady un… He's pretty but not as pretty as my art or Linette…" Deidara said as he looked the other blonde up and down Naruto blushed before he looked away.
"Deidara why are you here?" Shin hissed and walked in front of Naruto again he didn't like the Akatsuki that much they seemed shifty even though they were Gaara's personal guard. "Oh yeah my sweet Linette wants you I found another of your friends, and the one before is healed up now their in the infirmary." Naruto felt his heart jump they found another of his friends he grinned before he grabbed both Shin and Deidara and took off down the hall.
"Lady Naruto where are you taking us?" Shin gasped as he was pulled down the dark hall meanwhile Deidara just frowned he hated walking or running he preferred the air. "Where else? To see my friends!" Naruto yelled before he stopped "Where are they again?" Naruto asked as he turned to his two companions when rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"Idiot!" Shin hissed as kneeled over and tried to catch his breath "Hidan was right you are like the lady un…" Deidara said as he stared at the boy then at the leather clad man that was Shin. "And Shin you need to work out yeah…" Shin glared at Deidara before he heard a soft humming sound his ears twitched before he turned his head and peered into the dark hallways he focused and his pupils widened allowing him to see farther into the shadows.
"Deidara… Linette is coming this way along with Kinuko…" Shin said smirking Naruto looked at Deidara and swore he saw him blush. "Linette!" Deidara called Naruto heard the humming stop and he peered down the dark stone hallway and saw two figures appear in the shadow one seemed to be a woman while the other was surely one.
"Shin, Deidara I thought I heard your voices…" A Sultry voice said as one of the shadows moved "So you're the lady everyone has been talking about…" Another voice said this one a woman with a soft voice. "Please come with us we'll take you to your friends…" The soft voice said again Naruto nodded before following the shadows which moved down the hall meanwhile Shin and Deidara were close behide.
Naruto grinned as he walked through the almost lightless halls with few doors that they had to pass by, two of his friends were safe and that's all he cared about at that moment. "Over here…" The sultry voice said and Naruto followed the voice over to the outline of a door he saw the two shadows then the door opened and a bright light blinded him for a moment.
Naruto blinked at the light and his eyes widened as he looked at the two beds where a bandaged Hinata lay and a cut up Ino sat up looking at him. "Naruto…" Ino whispered as she looked at the boy her blue eyes were blank she stood up and walked toward him. "What happened?" Naruto yelled as he ran past Ino who watched as he ran to Hinata's side.
"I found her un… She was near the werewolves' cave I got to her before she could be eaten yeah…" Deidara said and Naruto looked at him before he grabbed Hinata hand and a few tears slipped from his eyes. "Do you think the others are?" "We don't know but Lord Gaara has almost the entire Akatsuki out looking for them." Linette said and Naruto for the first time looked at the purple haired girl.
Naruto looked at the girl's odd clothes she worn a tiny white halter dress that went to mid thigh it barley covered her; she also wore black stockings that went to her thigh just below her dress, and white boots. "They will be found." She finished before she walked over to Hinata and touched her head Naruto's eyes then caught a glint of something shiny he looked up and saw she had long ears with multiple piercings in each.
"The Akatsuki?" Naruto asked as he eyed Ino who was just standing there shaking a bit. "Their Lord Gaara's personal guard you've met three members already Naruto." Shin explained as he looked over to a very troubled Ino. "Who?" Naruto asked as he stroked Hinata's hair once and walked over to help Ino sit down. "Well there's me un… Don't forget Hidan yeah." Deidara answered moving over to stand by Linette who glared at him. "And lastly we encountered Kisame…" Shin finished
"Naruto… Why did you leave us?" Ino asked as Naruto guided her to the bed and helped her to sit. "You know why…" Naruto answered before Ino looked past him "They killed Karin…" She said before she rolled over. "I know" He said before he turned to look at the other person who had led him there.
He looked at what he guessed was a girl, the girl had long purple hair fixed in a low braid with short bangs, she had pale skin and green eyes she was also an elf but something confused Naruto and that was that the girl was wearing a white kimono "And you are?" He asked the two who bowed. "How rude of us I am Linette the healer here and this is my brother." She turned to the other elf who bowed low. "I am Kinuko a cook here." The Kinuko said smiling.
"Uh right…" Naruto said sweat dropping before a loud blast was heard like an explosion it shook the room a bit and Naruto fell forward and was quickly caught by Shin who hissed at the noise. "Deidara!" Linette screamed as the sound stopped "It wasn't me yeah!" Deidara said smirking seeing as Linette had attached herself to his arm.
"Then what was that?" Kinuko yelled before he stopped moving "Deidara, Kinuko go now outside! Linette protect the girls and Naruto!" Shin yelled before he ran out the door along with the other two.
"What's going on!" Naruto yelled as Linette pulled him close to her chest, "it's those damn wolves they attacked knowing that the Akatsuki are gone." Linette hissed as she pulled out a knife from her boot. "Wolves?" Naruto asked "Yes Werewolves who attacked your friend their after the castle again …" Linette said before they heard another explosion.
"Their after the castle?" Naruto said before a scrapping sound was heard Naruto looked at the door and his heart sped up he knew that sound it was the sound of claws on the hard stone floors. "Shh…" Linette whispered as she moved Naruto over to Ino who was now standing, Linette grabbed Ino and Naruto and dragged them behide Hinata's bed before pushing them behide it and covering Hinata with the white blanket.
"Stay hidden!" Linette whispered before she quickly walked over to the door and hid behide it her knife ready to strike. "It's coming… It's going to kill us… It's going to kill us!" Ino yelled having gone mad with fear. "Shut up!" Naruto hissed before he covered her mouth as she mumbled on.
Naruto peeked out and heard the sound again as a huge wolf came into view it sat in the hall for a bit it's black ear twitching before it rammed the door knocking Linette down. It growled before it walked into the room and began to sniff Linette who kicked it in the face and scrambled away a voice was heard yelling a short distance away it was followed by a another explosion that shook the castle, the wolf faltered giving Linette just enough time to the knife deep into the wolf's skull making a few drops of blood hit the floor followed by the wolf letting out one last howl before it slumped to the ground…
"Lady Naruto stay hidden I have to go and help on the battle field…" Linette said before she slid the sliver knife on the floor it landed near Naruto. She smiled before she stood up and ran out of the room as yet another explosion went off Naruto shuttered as he covered his ears it was so much like that day… Too much like that day…
