Love Story: DeiSaku
"What are you yelling about?" Sai asked.
Deidara couldn't handle the truth of Sai being the Jade Ace. He had to make sure.
"You're the Jade Ace, aren't you? Hmm" Deidara asked. He saw Sai stop drawing as his pencil had rolled to the ground.
"I wonder how you came to that conclusion" Sai said as he reached out for his pencil and continued to draw. Deidara walked up to Sai as he pulled out the paintbrush. Sai's eyes widened as he grabbed it and put it back utility holder.
"I see" Sai said. "Yes, I am the Jade Ace. What are you going to do about it?"
Deidara made a face. "Nothing. I just want to know why you didn't tell us earlier. Does Temari even know? Hmm"
"She does. We kept the identity of the Jade Ace a secret to protect Sakura" Sai said. "If Sakura knew the identity of the Jade Ace, she would be on my side and go against her kingdom. I will not allow her to put herself in danger."
Deidara understood how Sai felt about Sakura. If Sakura chose to be with their side, Tobi or Orochimaru would kill her. He would never let that happen! He wanted to protect her as well. So he agreed to keep the identity of Jade Ace a secret from his friends.

(Yume no Tsubomi-Utau Hoshina (child version))
yume no tsubomi hiraku mabushii sora wo aogi
mune ippai hirogaru yasashii kaori
The dream bud flourishes and looks up at the bright sky
filling our hearts with a tender fragrance.
kikoeruwa koi no RIZUMU
kisetsu koe ai ni kite ne
I can hear the rhythm of love,
it has transcended the seasons and came to see me.
"daisuki da yo" sasayaitara
sekaichuu ni kikoechau kana
hazukashikute utsumuiteta
watashi no te wo tori hashiridasu
If I whisper "I love you",
will the whole world hear it?
I lowered my head in embarrassment,
but you took my hand and ran!
Sakura slowly opened her eyes to see herself in her bed. The sun's rays warmed up her skin as she sat up and stretched. She didn't dreamt of that day in the longest time.
When she was younger and still lived with her foster parents, she had gotten lost in the forest and cried. A boy had found her. Instead of talking to her, he began to play a song on his violin. That had cheered her up. She and the boy began to hang out with each other after that. He had taught her how to play the violin and made up lyrics for that melody he had played to her the first day they met. He told her that this would be their song. This song would be for no one else. She had gotten close to him. I guess you could call him her first love. She couldn't remember his face though. A few months later, the boy had left her with a violin and not a single word to her. It had devastated her.
Sakura shook her head. She had to get ready and meet the kids to get ready for today's music session. After changing and eating breakfast, Sakura had brought some food for the kids and her instruments and put them in the basket.
"Off we go!" Sakura said cheerfully. An arm had blocked her way as she could see Temari and Sai in front of her.
"Where do you think you're going?" Temari asked.
"I'm going to spend time with the kids today" Sakura said.
"Are you sure you're not going to sneak out to hang out with that blond guy?" Sai asked.
Sakura's eyes widened as she looked at Temari. "H-How does he know about Deidara?!"
"I saw him walking you to your bedroom last night" Sai said. Sakura had turned red.
"No, I'm really hanging out with the kids today!" Sakura cried.
Temari smiled. "I know Sakura-chan, but now that you're Queen of Sound, you have to be more careful around the village. You know that there are spies around the Kingdom. As your protectors, we have to make sure your safe at all times"
Sakura felt weird when Temari said spies. She had a feeling that Temari was a spy, but she didn't want to believe it. For now, she'll just play stupid.
"I know Temari-chan, thank you" Sakura said with a bright smile. "I'll see you guys later. Oh and Sai, since I'm busy, you know what I need you to do"
"Yeah, yeah, just take care of yourself, Ugly" Sai said with a fake smile. Sakura gave him a fake smile back as she punched him in the gut.
"Idiot" Temari muttered as Sai fell to the ground in pain.
"Such an evil thing" Sai said as he clutched his stomach.
"Bye!" Sakura said as she ran to the front of the gates. She was greeted by the children.
"Alright, let's go everyone" Sakura said as she took the kids to the forest.
Hours passed as everyone was sitting down and listening to Sakura sing a song. They were sitting in a field outside of the forest. The oldest boy in the group, only being 13 years old, was playing the violin for her. He was the older brother of Ayu. They looked alike as well. The song ended as the children cheered.
"Good job Masashi" Sakura said as she ruffled his head. "You could be a famous violinist if you wanted to.
"Thank you" Masashi said politely. His little sister, Ayu, came up and touched the violin.
"This is a beautiful violin!" Ayu said as she admiring the violin.
"It truly is" Sakura said. "My first love gave this to me when I was little"
The girls giggled. "What was his name?" they asked.
Sakura blushed as she scratched her head in embarrassment. "Haha, actually to be honest, I forgot his name. Anyways, enough about me. Masashi, let's play the new song I was teaching you"
"Yuuki no uta?" Masashi asked. Sakura nodded.
"Alright" Masashi said as he brought the violin back up under his chin. He began to play as Sakura sang along:
la la la utao utao
kao age kokoro no mama.... utao
akiramecha ikenai
dekinai koto nantenai
yuuki no uta
dare ni mo makenai
yume ga aru
aruki daso-
Sakura stopped as she heard the sound of one of the string break. Sakura looked to see Masashi looking at the violin shocked.
"Oh no…Masashi…" Sakura said as she began to walk up to him. Masashi quickly stepped back from her.
"I-I didn't mean to" Masashi cried. "I'm sorry!" Masashi took the violin with him as he made a dash for the forest.
"Masashi!" Sakura cried out. "Damn it. Everyone, pack everything up, we have to go after Masashi"
XxXxXxX
Deidara yawned as he took a walk around the forest. He could hear something running his way. As he slowly reached for his sword, he saw a boy crying as he ran into him. The boy had fallen to the ground. The violin landed in front of him.
"I-I'm sorry sir" Masashi cried out. Deidara looked to see a violin on the ground.
"Why does this seem familiar? Hmm" Deidara asked out loud as he picked up the violin.
"S-Sir, please don't touch it. It's not mine!" Masashi said.
"The string broke, hmm" Deidara said as he observed it.
"I-I broke it, sir." Masashi confessed. "I ran away with it because I was scared. How can I be a violinist, if I broke a string while playing?"
Deidara smiled. "You want to be a violinist, hmm?"
Masashi nodded. "The best there can be in this Kingdom"
"I can fix the violin" Deidara said. "Come with me"
Deidara had taken the boy back to the campsite. Luckily no one was there. Going through his stuff, he found an a few extra strings and brought it with him.
"Here you go, hmm" Deidara said as he walked the kid back to where they came from.
"You play the violin as well?" Masashi asked.
"Yeah, haven't played it in a while. When I was a traveler, I would always play my violin. I kinda gave it up when I was younger though. I gave my violin to some girl I met a while back. I remember finding her crying in a forest. I didn't know what to say to her. So to cheer her up, I played a melody for her. After that day, we began to hang out. I loved being around her, she always made my day. I guess you can say I fell in love with her, hmm" Deidara said, trying to cheer up the boy with a happy story.
"What did she look like? Was she pretty?" Masashi asked.
Deidara let out an embarrassing chuckle. "Actually, I kinda forgot what she looked like, hmm. Anyways, what song did you try to play earlier?"
"Yuuki no Uta" Masashi said. "I'm still learning it"
The two stopped in an opening in the forest. He remembered being here with the girl from his past.
"I like the song. Let me put the new string first and I'll show you how it goes, hmm" Deidara said as he sat down and fixed the violin. "You know, I used to have a violin like this. My friend Sasori made it for me as a birthday present. He inscribed his name on the back…right around he-"
Deidara stopped when he saw Sasori's name on the back of the violin. "No way…"
"Something wrong, sir?" Masashi asked.
"Where did you…"
"It belongs to our music teacher" Masashi said.
"Hm, I wonder. She's probably looking for you, right, hmm?" Masashi nodded.
"I think I know your teacher. I can probably bring her here with this song, hmmm" Deidara began to play Yuuki no Uta. Masashi watched with surprised. Deidara played really well.
XxXxXxX
Sakura and the kids ran around the forest, calling out for Masashi. Ayu began to cry as Sakura comforted her.
"Don't worry Ayu-chan, we'll find your brother soon" It was quiet as the sound of a violin playing was heard.
"D-do you hear that?" Ayu asked.
"This sound, the way it's being played…could it be him…?" Sakura asked out loud. "…the boy from my memory?"
Sakura ran towards the sound of the music as the children followed her. They soon made it to an opening in the forest. Sakura saw Masashi sitting on the ground, but he wasn't playing the violin, someone else was.
"It's Deidara." Sakura said as she continued to listen to the music. "This song…" Sakura began to sing along happily.
Deidara had soon stopped playing as he noticed Sakura's presence. "So it was you, huh. You were singing quite happily"
"I-I wasn't really singing happily!" Sakura said embarrassed. "Anyways, what are you doing here with Masashi?"
"I found him and fix the violin of his. I was feeling bored anyways. It doesn't matter if I'm accompanying your horrible "
"Horrible?" Sakura said.
"Hey, hmm" Deidara said to Masashi. Masashi nodded.
"1, 2, 3…" Masashi counted.
"Go!" The kids said together.
Sakura took a deep breath before she started to sing again:
la la la utao utao
kao age kokoro no mama.... utao
akiramecha ikenai
dekinai koto nantenai
yuuki no uta
dare ni mo makenai
yume ga aru
aruki dasou mune hate
watashi dake no michi ga aru
shinjiru no sha-
The sound of a string snap was heard.
"The string broke again" Masashi said.
"It could be because of Sakura-neechan's voice!" Ayu said as she giggled.
"Maybe, hmm" Deidara said. Sakura's mouth dropped.
"No way!" everyone laughed.
"Don't worry kid. Now you know that the string didn't break because of your playing but because of how Sakura here sings, hmm" Deidara commented as he ruffled Masashi's hair. Sakura glared at him as she stuck her tongue out at him.
"You better keep that in your mouth, hmm" Deidara said with a grinned. Sakura blushed as Deidara had brought his face close to hers. She could feel his hot breath on her lips. The two soon stopped as they noticed the kids were watching them. Sakura immediately pushed Deidara away from her as blushed more.
"Are you in two in love?" Ayu asked innocently.
"W-What are you talking about?!" Sakura exclaimed as she turned redder if possible. She began to wave her hand in front of her face. "I-I'm married! Deidara is just a good friend of mine! That's all!"
"Y-Yeah, what she said, hmm" Deidara said.
"Doesn't seem that way" Masashi said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "It's either you guys are both in love with each other or one of you guys are falling for the other"
Sakura pondered on Masashi's words as she looked up at Deidara. Deidara didn't even try to look at her but she could see that his cheeks and ears were red.
"I think Sakura-neechan and the new guy would be nice together" A girl named Himeko said.
"I think so too!" Ayu said happily. Sakura sighed as she squatted down to face Ayu.
"We probably would, but I'm married to Tobi-sama now. I can't be falling in love with another man. It's not right" Sakura said. Deidara looked at Sakura as she said that but said nothing.
"But are you happy with him?" Masashi asked. Deidara's eyes widened. It was like Masashi knew what he was thinking and asked her for him.
"…Of course I am!" Sakura said. Deidara could hear the hesitation in her voice. "You guys are too young to talk about these kinds of things. Go back home now."
"Whatever…" Masashi said as he carried Ayu on his back and headed home with the little kids.
Sakura sighed as she lay down on the ground. "Glad that's over" She muttered.
"Where did you get this violin, hmm?" Deidara asked as he was fixing the violin string.
Sakura soon turned on her stomach. "Why do you ask?" Sakura had her elbows on the ground as her fists cupped the sides of her chin.
"…I didn't know you played violin, hmm" Deidara said as he finished fixing the violin.
Sakura was silent as if trying to remember the day she received the violin. Deidara watched her as a gentle smile formed across her face.
"A boy gave me it when I was younger. I don't remember what he looked like." Sakura said. Deidara's eyes widened.
"You still kept the violin even though you don't remember him? Why not just throw it away, hmm?" Deidara asked.
"I couldn't..." Sakura said. She soon paused as if trying to choose her next words right. "...because this violin was given to me by my first love"
"...Your first love, hmm?"
Sakura nodded as she soon sat up. She looked up at Deidara as he tested the violin a bit.
"I met him when I was younger. It was a year after I stayed with my foster parents. I had gotten lost somewhere in the forest. It was actually in this spot. I was crying. Soon this boy came and found me. He didn't say anything to me at first. Then he began to play the violin for me. The song went like this."
yume no tsubomi hiraku mabushii sora wo aogi
mune ippai hirogaru yasashii kaori
Sakura's eyes widened when Deidara was actually playing the melody on the violin. He wasn't supposed to know this song.
kikoeruwa koi no RIZUMU
kisetsu koe ai ni kite ne
Deidara's blue eyes never left Sakura's as he played.
"daisuki da yo" sasayaitara
sekaichuu ni kikoechau kana
hazukashikute utsumuiteta
watashi no te wo tori hashiridasu
"How do you know that song?" Sakura asked as she quickly got up and pointed her finger at him, her mouth dropped a bit in shock.
"How can I not remember how to play the song I created" Deidara said with a smile as he closed Sakura's mouth with his index finger. Sakura's eyes widened. Deidara was the boy from when she was little?
"How could I not remember you when I first saw you?" Deidara and Sakura said at the same time. They soon laughed as Sakura came and hugged him tight.
"It's been so long since I've done this" Sakura said as her face was in his chest. Deidara could soon feel wetness on his shirt. "Why did you leave me? How could you leave without saying a word? What's wrong with you?!"
Sakura shook as Deidara wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. "I'm sorry"
"Why?" Sakura asked
"I was a traveler. When I was younger, I couldn't stay in one place for too long. I didn't want to leave you. Truly, I didn't. But I had to. You were too young to bring along. So I left you with my violin that my friend made for me, to remind you of me, hmm" Deidara said.
Sakura looked up as Deidara was blushing. Sakura began to raise her head up as Deidara lowered his. Their lips met for an innocent, soft and sweet kiss. Deidara soon pulled away from a blushing Sakura.
Deidara had a serious look on his face. "I have to say one thing, before this goes on, hmm"
"W-What is it?" Sakura asked still kind of out of it. How could a simple kiss make her feel like this? When Tobi kisses her, she felt nothing like this. She felt like she was in heaven or something close to it.
"This is actually our second time…hmm" It took a moment for Sakura to process Deidara's words.
"WHAT!!!!!" Sakura's scream was heard throughout the forest.
XxXxXxX
Ino, Hinata, and Tenten were walking down the hallway as they saw Sakura storming down. Her face was noticeable red.
"Hello Sakura-sama!" Tenten greeted.
"I can't believe him!" Sakura screamed. "Why, when I get my hands on him, he'll regret kissing me without me remembering!" She soon noticed the girls. "Good day!"
She soon turned the corner as Ino squealed. Something juicy must have happened.
"Sakura-chan kissed someone!" Ino said.
"I-I wonder who would have the courage to k-kiss a married woman" Hinata asked.
A few seconds passed before the girls giggled. "Deidara!"
Sakura had continued to walk down the hall while caught up in her thoughts. Sakura didn't notice the other people until she bumped into them. Before she could fall, someone grabbed her by the waist.
"Are you okay, Sakura-sama?" Sakura looked up to see five new people in front of her. Sakura didn't know what to say so she just nodded.
"My name is Pein." The man said as he bowed. "My group and I were sent here by Tobi-sama to take care of you"
Sakura just stared at the man in front of her. The first thing she noticed was that he had a lot of piercings. He soon looked at the woman behind him. She had blue hair and what seemed to be an origami flower in her hair. There was only one word to describe her…Beautiful. Behind them were three other men. One had half his body green and the other white. The other one had silver slick back hair. The last one resembled a human puppet. She soon looked back at Pein and Konan.
The woman had noticed Sakura staring at her as she smiled. Sakura soon blushed.
"The name is Konan" She introduced herself with a bow. "It's an honor to be in your presence. I wish I could be as beautiful as you"
Sakura's mouth dropped a bit. Had she never looked in the mirror before?
Another man came up to her as he bowed. "My name is Zetsu. Nice to meet you" He had grabbed her hand and gave it a peck.
"You're taking so fucking long. Hurry the fuck up now" A man said as he pushed Zetsu out of the way. "Hidan's the name. Pleasure to be at your fucking service" He finished with a grin.
'This guy cusses way too much' Sakura thought in her head.
"Must you cuss, especially at the Queen's presence?" the last man asked as he went up to Sakura. "My name is Kakazu; I expect to be paid 1000 yen a day"
"Eh?" Sakura sweat dropped. "Um, this is very kind of you, but I already have a lot of people guarding me."
"Tobi-sama really cares for you and wants to make sure you're safe at all times. He wouldn't have left for that meeting with Orochimaru-sama if he didn't send us to watch over you" Pein said.
"What am I, a child?" Sakura muttered. "Let's make a compromise"
"And what would that be?" Pein asked.
"You guys will be able to still guard me, but you have to be guarding the kingdom's walls. You know the walls are protecting the castle and the towns inside. I want you to not only protect me but the citizens as well." Sakura demanded. "One last thing, you must not interfere with the Jade Ace's business. He had protected me many times, so I must repay his kindness with protection. I hope you understand"
The group looked at each other before looking at Pein.
"I understand. We will fulfill your command, but you must have Konan here with you as another lady in waiting."
"Fair enough" Sakura said.
"I'm glad we came to this agreement" Pein said as he stuck his hand out.
"Likewise" Sakura smiled.
The boys left with a bow as Konan and Sakura were the only ones in the hallway.
"Did Tobi-san give you a room?" Sakura asked trying to break the quietness between them.
"Yes, it's quite fitting for me" Konan said with a smile. Sakura blushed. She was really pretty.
"How long have you known Tobi-san?" Sakura asked as the two walked around the halls.
"We met each when we were younger. I was with Pein at the time. We soon formed a group between us. Later on, we met the others and they joined as well. We call ourselves the Akatsuki. We decided to make Tobi our leader. We tried to recruit other people but they wanted to stay loyal to their kingdom and loved ones."
"I see" Sakura said.
"Tobi loves you a lot. So when he found out he had to leave you for a while, he contacted us right away and here we are"
"Yeah…" Sakura said beginning to feel guilty.
Tobi really cared about her and just a couple minutes ago she was kissing Deidara. She knew she was in hot waters now. She was attracted to Deidara; there was no question about that! They were different from each other. She was the Queen of Sound and he was a spy from Konoha. Their Kingdoms were sworn enemies. Sakura knew she was going to break the rules, but she can't help it. Her heart is calling out for Deidara but her mind chooses Tobi…
What do you do if you're falling for the enemy?

The rest of the Akatsuki group showed up. I'm currently watching Shugo Chara. I love their songs and I couldn't help but add some of the songs in the story. AMUTO ALL THE WAY! (Clears throat) Anyways, Sakura is realizing that she's falling for Deidara; yet, she's married to the powerful Tobi. Find out what will happen to these star-crossed lovers in the next chapter. Thank you for reading everyone!
