Enslaved!

WARNING: Story contains graphic lemon, lime, and adult stuffs XD. Oooohhhh, that's right, BEWARE!! The plotline and characters are also kind of insane, so this is very different from any of my other stories. All I can say is, I was trying to be as creative here as possible. Don't kill me!

Chapter 9:

For the rest of the day, Deidara did his best to give Ino some space. She hadn't come out of the room, and he was beginning to be a little worried about her, but there was nothing he could do by going there. It would only upset her more.

"Is Deidara-senpai mad?" Tobi was sitting next to him on the couch, hogging the remote to Akatsuki's only TV, as usual.

"No, un. Just worried about someone."

"Is it the girl?" He seemed almost serious now, despite the crazy disposition the silly man protrayed. "That Ino girl?"

"Yeah... She's been locked in her room all day! Which actually is my room, un! And I don't know what to do. If I talk to her, she'll think I'm crowding her, and if I don't she'll think I'm ignoring her. Any ideas what I should do, yeah?"

"Forget her," Tobi pouted adorably behind his mask. Too bad Deidara couldn't see it. "Sasori is gonna be maaaaad..."

"Huh? Why is that, un?"

"Nothing. Don't worry..."

Deidara shrugged. Most of the time the funny man was just talking nonsense anyway. It was best to just ignore him.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There seemed to be some tension on their team, now that Sasuke and Sakura were a couple. Kiba was still oblivious to any of it, but Shikamaru was watching the two carefully. Maybe this would benefit the team in the long run, and make his job that much easier. But he somehow doubted it. In his book, Uchiha plus Haruno could only equal a fight, eventually.

"Sasuke-kun, where do you think we should look next?"

"Hn," He shurgged, looking at Shikamaru for guidance.

The Nara smoothed his hair down behind his neck, inadvertently pulling loose a few strands of hair from his ponytail. Kiba eyed the motion hungrily. "I think we need to do a stakeout on that first Inn. That guy obviously knew something that he wasn't telling us yesterday. Judging from his body language, he could be working for Akatsuki too, or the Inn may have stuck some kind of deal with them."

"That makes sense," Sasuke remarked. "And if I know my brother, he has a way of getting people to do what he wants them to."

"So this is what we do," Shikamaru began, looking over his team once more, deep in thought. "Sasuke and Sakura, you two are going to patrol the woods around here, and look for any signs of struggle. From broken twigs to dead bodies, or anything you can find. I know you have skills as a tracker, Sasuke-san, and Sakura-san has other skills you may need."

He didn't miss the look on their faces. It was extremely funny, and the Nara had to struggle not to laugh. So they hadn't missed the sexual innuendo. Hah, good.

"But what about me?" Kiba whined, at the same time Akamaru did.

"You and I are going to watch that Inn. Come on."

And with that, the teams dispatched.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"What's with all this splitting up, anyway?"

Sasuke turned to his new partner. "Why are you complaining?" He advanced on her, pinning her back against a tree. "I thought you would want to be alone... out here... with me."

Then she felt his delicious lips descend on hers, and it ignited a deep flutter within her stomach. The fire was back, and it burned them both hotter than ever. They had made love three times last night, and still that didn't feel like enough.

She mewled and gasped in pleasure beneath his skilled touches, her delicate skin being pressed flush against the rough bark of the tree she was pinned against. Sakura would have fallen if not for the strong arms holding her up, she was certain.

Sasuke wanted to take her, he really did. But he couldn't help but think about what they should be doing. They couldn't very well abandon the team, now could they? No, they were supposed to be looking for his brother. Even though it was wrong, he still couldn't betray his brother by turning him in to Konoha. He had thought he was strong enough to be an avenger, but he knew now that he was not.

'Damn it... I'm going limp!' He thought, panicked. He didn't want to hurt Sakura, but these thoughts were really getting to him. 'Stupid aniki...'

"Maybe we shouldn't do this," He pulled himself away from her, despite his longing to stay there.

Just his luck, she looked hurt. "Are you alright, Sasuke-kun? I thought we were... well, you know... together? Or was it a one time-"

"No, no, we are!" Sasuke hugged her quickly, in an effort to reassure the confused girl. Despite appearances, he was not one to love and leave. And he despised one night stands. They reminded him too much of Itachi... "I just think we should stick to the mission. I mean, we're supposed to be finding Akatsuki, right? And we need to-"

A voice greeted them smoothly, from out of nowhere. "Looks like we found you... otouto."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Deidara eventually found himself with no other choice but to go into the room. It was late afternoon, and he was left with nothing to do. His only mission had been to watch the girl, and he was already doing a piss-poor job of that. What else could go wrong?

"Ino-san...?"

He opened the door and entered the room very quietly, in case she was sleeping or something.

"Deidara..." He heard a faint voice coming from the bathroom, and he didn't like how weak she sounded. "Are you... h-here...?"

"Yes, Ino-san, I- Oh my god!"

Taking a look inside the open door, his vision was assaulted by an onslaught of scarlet and crimson. There was blood everywhere! It was splattered across the mirror, all over the sink, and in the bathtub. He looked at the big, white porcelain bathtub. It was where he'd bathed every day, since he'd first joined Akatsuki. And the sight of it was nauseating.

And it was soaked in blood. Blood filled the water, and the weak girl was draped over the side of the tub, covered in blood. Her arms were both cut open from her wrists to her elbows. It looked really bad.

"What happened?!" He was panicking now, and as a result, couldn't think of a single thing to say.

"I... just leave me... I want to... die..."

Her eyes said that the words she spoke were the truth. And from the way Ino had acted earlier, she wouldn't have been surprised if he just left her. That was what Deidara felt like doing, but at the same time he felt an odd feeling tugging at his heart. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before; a kind of rushed panic starting to build, along with something else. It was something he could not name.

He looked at her. She was a pitiful mess, with her blonde hair let down, and hanging freely over the side of the stained tub. She sat there, her lower half submerged and veiled by the swirling red clouds... Her breasts pressed into the cool tile, but she didn't care.

"We've got to stop the bleeding!" He shouted at the half inocoherent girl, forgetting his speech impediment for the moment. "There has to be something we can use, un... Hang on!"

She just sat there in the deep pool of blood mixed with water. It was swirling and tainting it, making it look like blood too. Ino hung uselessly over one side, her blue eyes glazed over in emptiness.

Deidara was looking around frantically, and couldn't find a single thing. He yanked his shirt off over his head, and began ripping pieces off, using them to tie her arms at the elbows to prevent any more blood loss.

"What're you... doing?" She slurred her words badly. Hopefully he wasn't too late...

"I'm making tourniquets for you, yeah. We've got to stop the bleeding, so just hold still. I think you're gonna make it, un."

"No, but..." She tried to pull her arm away but didn't have the strength. "I don't want to... I want... to die... please, leave me... alone."

Not listening to her nonsense any more, the man lifted her nearly lifeless form from the wine-red water, after rinsing off the cuts she had made. Deidara wasn't surprised to see that she was naked. He tried to look away, but his body had other ideas. His libido had the worst timing ever! But the way Ino clung to him, looking to him to hold her, to protect her,- to save her- didn't help matters any.

"Just lay here and rest, Ino-chan."

"You... mean... -san, right?"

"What?" He bent down so he could hear her. She was speaking so softly...

"You called me... chan?" Ino closed her eyes, exhausted.

"Stay with me, un!" He begged her. "Just rest, and don't exert yourself. Don't die on me."

"I'm... sleepy."

"I know, you can sleep," Deidara walked back into the bathroom to get some bandages, but he kept talking to her. "I'm going to bandage those arms up first, though."

He rummaged through the small cabinet quickly, in a hurry to get back to her. He didn't like the idea of leaving the girl alone this long, and he knew his instincts had been right earlier. Deidara wanted to come in and see what was bothering her, but his sense of pride wouldn't let him. Next time, he would not hesitate.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A/N: Okay, so I know Ino's not really a cutter but... She does almost seem kind of emo, right? I needed something to happen so this chapter wouldn't be boring, and I also needed to show that he cares for her. How am I doing? I am not so sure if it was good or not. And yes, I know I left you all in suspense in regards to the Sasuke/Itachi situation. Don't worry, more will be revealed in the next chapter! But even fasterif you review and comment!
