Chapter 9: the Akatsuki appear

Tetsuya and Hitoshi stopped dead in their tracks. Her eyes widened as she turned around to see a seven foot shark holding some kind of sword and a blonde boy about her age, maybe a little older. They were both wearing black robes with red clouds outlined in white.

Akatsuki….they're trouble…Tetsuya thought.

"What do you want? We are not looking for trouble." Tetsuya tried to say without shaking.

"Oh Kisame, she doesn't want to play…..yeah?" The blonde said.

So Kisame is the shark's name……Tetsuya thought.

"These two look like trouble." Hitoshi whispered to Tetsuya.

"Stay behind me." Tetsuya ordered.

Hitoshi gladly took a position behind her, though he felt like a coward for letting a woman protect him against these two men.

"It seems she is protecting this man…….he must be important." The boyish one said.

"Don't touch him!!!" Tetsuya yelled as she readied her kunai.

"Oh feisty aren't we?"

"No need for violence little girl." Kisame laughed.

He appeared behind Hitoshi and grabbed him. The blonde grabbed Tetsuya before she could make a move.

"Don't even think about it." he lowered his face and looked into her eyes with his icy, blue eyes. The corner of his mouth lifted into a half smile.

Tetsuya freaked out and her kunai dropped to the ground. The blonde holding her had mouths on his hands. Gross, what kind of freak is this? They bit down, strengthening his grip. Tetsuya screamed in pain and fear.

"Deidara, you know better than to scare the little girl."

So, you're Deidara…..Tetsuya thought. She had to do something and quick. She hadn't the time to waste. She closed her eyes and concentrated. Shadow possession won't work because I cant free myself to make the signs, even if I somehow got free I still couldn't do it because it's dark.

---------------

"Hehehehehe." Kisame laughed.

Hitoshi struggled to get free, but he was in the same boat as Tetsuya.

--------------

What am I going to do…….Tetsuya thought. Suddenly she felt a burst of chakra run through her. With all her strength, she somehow broke free of Deidara's hold. She began using her taijutsu, focusing her chakra to hands and feet.

Man she's fast…..Deidara thought. He was barely able to dodge her attacks. That chakra surrounding her hands and feet…..if I get hit with that I'm done for…..

Deidara looked for an opening. Haha..there! He grabbed Tetsuya's arm and swung her down just as she hit his chest with the other. Damn it! Deidara fell to the ground, coughing up blood. Uh…….. she's faster than I could've imagined……well….she just missed the vital spot by inches. He was breathing very heavily. Tetsuya got up.

"Deidara! What are you doing!"

Deidara slowly stood up. Tetsuya reached for some shuriken. In an instant Deidara was gone. What!? Where did he go? She looked every way except one, behind her. Just as she turned around she felt hands grab her arms and secured them behind her back. The next thing she knew she was pinned to the ground with Deidara on her. His knees were pinning the back of her legs to the ground and he held hers wrists. Once again the hands were biting down.

There was no way she could move now. The hands licked her skin softly and acted as if it was something Deidara would do to her with his own mouth. Sick…… He leaned forward and whispered into her ear.

"Nice try….."

His hot breath traveled down her neck and face. Then he began to laugh.

"You like that…..yeah? His lips brushed the side of her face. She did her best to avoid it, but she could only move her head so little.

---------------

"What do you want with me?" Hitoshi asked Kisame.

"Who said anything about wanting you? As far as I'm concerned we should just kill you." Kisame laughed. "We wouldn't want you to go stirring up trouble for us now would we?"

Hitosho shook with fear.

---------------

"Please….. just let us go. Please." Tetsuya cried. "I'm on an important mission……please."

"Oh I just love it when someone like you begs for their life."

He licked the side of her face.

'Uh……" She gritted her teeth. "You're going to kill me?"

"Not yet."

"What! No you have to let me go….I need to get the messenger to his destination! He is very important to me and to my mission!!!!!"

"Oh really?" Deidara looked back at Kisame. "Kill the messenger."

"What!!!!!!" Tetsuya yelled. Hitoshi's eyes widened.

He gulped and he and Tetsuya were both shaking with fear. I can't move……err…She struggled to free herself, but it was still no good.

---------------

Kisame kicked the messenger down to the ground.

"Shall I make this quick or slow?" Kisame said, readying his sword.

Hitosho quickly reached for the smoke bombs and threw them at Kisame's feet. Purple smoke immediately began to cloud the area. It allowed Hitosho to escape. Kisame swung, unable to see the messenger. The messenger crawled on his hands and knees, avoiding the sword.

"Kisame! Get him!"

"I can't see!"

Soon the smoke spread toward Deidara and Tetsuya. Then it faded after about five minutes.

"Kisame…..we need to leave….now. We have what we want."

He released Tetsuya and stood up. Now's my chance….She tried to summon all her chakra. Suddenly she felt as if it were all stripped away from her. She fell at the feet of Deidara.

She looked over her shoulder to see Kisame.

"My sword, shark skin devours chakra." He laughed.

My body feels so weak and heavy….that sword. Kisame walked up right behind her. She was now sandwiched in between them. Deidara was staring down upon he. He had the look as if he were undressing her with his eyes. Suddenly she felt a throb in the back of her head and she passed out.
