The Akatsukis and Hinata walked out of the cave. Itachi was, surprisingly, in the back.

"Ok, let's begin" Sasori started.

"Let me train her this time, yeah!" Deidara exclaimed. Sasori sighed but nodded.

Soon, Deidara and Hinata were facing each other. "I won't go too hard on you Hina-chan, yeah" the heiress nodded. She positioned herself in a stance. So did Deidara. Sasori observed with Kisame and Itachi, who seated themselves against a tree. Hinata activated her Byakugan. She could feel her veins come out and stretch from her eyes over to her bangs. Deidara smirked as he pushed his clock away. The Hyuuga girl could see a bag attached to Deidara's hip. She wondered how he was going to use it.

Then the battles began.

Deidara put his hand into his bag. Hinata took this chance and charged at him. She stuck her hand out in an attack. Deidara barely missed it, jumping back. He took his hand out of the bag.

He stared at his hand. Hinata was dumbfounded. What was he doing? Looking at his hand in the middle of a fight? No matter, Hinata attacked again. And again Deidara jumped back, barley missing.

"He has to pay more attention on the battle, not just on his hand" Kisame pointed out.

"He has to find out when it is ready" Sasori said. Itachi staid quiet.

Hinata kept charging at and attacking Deidara. And again he jumped back. Hinata was beginning to pant and sweat. But she kept going. Because, if he kept going back he would end up in the forest, Deidara jumped to the side and hid in a tree. Hinata's Byakugan could see him. And…he was staring at his hand again. Ok, now Hinata was getting a bit upset. Was he teasing her or something?

Hinata jumped into the tree. She was quickly blinded by leaves and branches. She couldn't hear anything. No rustling or steps indicating someone was there. Hinata pushed her way through. Then suddenly, Hinata took a step forward but did not feel anything below her foot. So she came tumbling down, scraping herself on branches and loose bark.

The Hyuuga girl landed with a loud thud on the ground. A bolt of pain went up Hinata's back. She moaned. Then she heard foot steps coming. As fast as she could, Hinata jumped to her feet. Deidara stood a few feet away from her, smirking.

Then he raised his hand up so Hinata could see his palm. But she was completely shocked and a bit scared to see a mouth open up and a tongue come out.

"Done" he whispered. Then his hand spit out what looked like a wade of white clay. Now Hinata was really confused. It was so small. Deidara closed his hand on the clay and started rubbing it back and fourth. Then he lifted his hand to reveal a clay bird. Throwing it to the ground, Deidara preformed two hand signs.

Hinata stood back in awe to see the clay bird puff in smoke but was completely startled when she saw that the small sculptor turned into a large white bird. And not just a bird made out of clay. A bird made out of clay…that moved! It lifted its large head and looked at Hinata with its hollow eyes.

Deidara quickly jumped on the bird's back.

"I'm gonna try an attack above, try and catch me Hina-chan, yeah" he smirked. The bird lifted him high in the air. Hinata couldn't believe this. Her specialty was close-ranged combat. But with Deidara in the air, it would be impossible to attack.

"Not only is Deidara a long-ranged fighter, but his clay has a special tactic of its own" Sasori explained.

Hinata ran out to get a better look at Deidara. He looked about 30 feet above the ground. This was bad. Very bad. The Hyuuga girl could only watch as the blonde Akatsuki as his bird circled the air. Deidara smirked again. He reached into his bag again.

The tongue of the mouth reached in and sucked up a bunch of clay. His other hand reached into another pack on the other side of his hip. The mouths began to chew up the clay.

The Hyuuga heiress walked around, trying to find away to get up to Deidara. But with no luck, Hinata could just wait and see what happened. The mouths stopped chewing. Deidara smiled.

The clays popped out and he began to form small birds.

"He better not make a big mess" Sasori grumbled.

"Or take to long" Itachi spoke up.

"Ha, Hinata-chan looks so clueless" the fish man chuckled. Itachi stared at Kisame then at Hinata.

"There is a way to get up there" he said. "But she has to find it out herself" Sasori nodded in agreement.

"I see it"

Kisame looked at the two. He didn't know what they were talking about. So he just went on watching. Deidara finished his set of birds. "Now" he whispered. He threw the birds to the ground. Two fell in front of Hinata. She stared at them, curious.

Then, she noticed a small light in their eyes. Her own eyes widened as she jumped back. But it was too late. The birds exploded, sending her tumbling back. More of the birds exploded. Soon Hinata was surrounded with explosions. She shielded her eyes.

"Arg" she groaned. When she opened one of her eyes, smoke was swirling around.

"Damn that Deidara, with all that smoke, he'll blow our cover" Sasori growled. Itachi let out a slight sigh.

The blonde watched as the smoke flew up to him. "Hmm, art is a bang, yeah!"

Hinata flapped her hand around her face to get the smoke out. But Deidara wasn't done yet. He reached into his bag again. Grabbing the clay again, his hand mouths chewed it up into blobs again. And again he formed another set of birds.

He threw them and this time they exploded quicker and closer to Hinata.

"Arrrrr" she grumbled.

"He isn't really going easy on her is he" Itachi commented.

"That's Deidara for ya, even if he likes someone, that won't hold him back from giving his all" Kisame smirked. Sasori 'hmm'ed in agreement. Itachi's gaze fell on Hinata. She was shielding herself again. But it was no use. She was getting dirty from all the mud that exploded on her and her arms were getting scrapped and were bleeding.

Her defense wasn't good if it was just her arms. But he must admit, the way that she held herself up was impressive. Deidara sent yet another set of explosives her way. She continued to get hurt. But she never fell. By now, even tough Chunins or miner Jonins would fall. Hinata was now panting even more. Her face was covered in scratches. Her clothes were either ripped or covered in stains. Her arms were bleeding even more and she drooped down. But her Byakugan was still activated and a fierce face was shown.

Itachi could realize this quickly. When he first saw her, his first impression was that she was a complete weakling and an idiot too. At first, that was how she acted as. But now, with the way she looked now, she seemed to be more confident. The Uchiha kept staring at her as Deidara, once again, sent another set of birds her way.

But this time, Hinata thought fast, and dodged them. The exploded in the place she once stood.

Itachi, Sasori and Kisame were a bit surprised at this.

"Wow, all of her running and attacks had drained her of a lot of chakara, but she still has the energy to dodge them, not even getting a little bit of dirt on her!" Kisame exclaimed. Sasori was surprised at that too. Her dodge was perfect. Had she memorized Deidara's attacks? Itachi was the least surprised, but surprised none the less. He realized that she still had some energy left, the way she withstood those attacks. But what surprised him more is that she had figured out how Deidara attacked like that quickly.

It would take awhile for most people, since Deidara was unpredictable.

Up in the air, the blonde Akatsuki smirked happily.

Heehee, I can train Hina-chan well too, yeah he thought.

The Uchiha saw Deidara smirk. So, being the smart-ass Akatsuki, Itachi realized that this is what Deidara intended on teaching her. She had to learn to think quickly and not take time, or the enemy would take advantage of her staling.

"Hmm, maybe he isn't so useless after all" he said to himself.

"Let's see if she can dodge them again, yeah!" Deidara exclaimed. He sent even more birds at her. Hinata jumped up and dodged many of them. Some caught her but she could escape them just barely.

"Good" the blonde smiled completely. "Now to see if she can think quicker!" Deidara formed new types of birds. These had longer wings and were skinnier. He sent them.

Hinata smirked, thinking this was getting old. But was taken aback to see that these we're faster. She was barley able to escape them.

"Now he's getting faster" Sasori spoke.

"Let's see if she can take it" the Uchiha said. Deidara sent more at her

"Go faster Hina-chan!" he shouted. Hinata began to dodge them quickly. But some still caught her.

The Hyuuga was exhausted. She had been running around and dodging alot so of course her pantings were getting even tougher. To add to that, she was bleeding every where on her arms. And the scraps and scratches on her face began to bleed as well. And she was very dirty.

But she couldn't think of how she looked or anything else because Deidara sent more fast birds at her. She continued dodging them. But she was a getting slower everytime. She just couldn't move faster any more. It was too much for the 19 year old to handle.

"She's losing it" Kisame snickered.

"She's losing a lot of energy, Deidara is working her to death" Sasori said.

Itachi looked up at the blonde "That's Deidara"

The birds left coming and Hinata kept dodging. Then it finally happened. The Hyuuga heiress fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

The clay bird fell to the ground and disappeared. Deidara jumped to the ground. She walked to Hinata. Kneeling down, he smiled.

"You done, Hina-chan, yeah?"

The Hyuuga girl looked up at him, still panting. "I'm…done"

Itachi and the other two walked over to Hinata. Deidara helped her up.

"You were really good Hina-chan, I actually thought you would fall a few minutes ago, yeah!!!" Deidara exclaimed, loudly again. Kisame nodded in agreement.

"You are getting faster" Sasori commented. Itachi staid silent.

"Th-thank you" she smiled. She hadn't stuttered because she was nervous, she stuttered because she was completely tired.

"Let's get in to fix your wounds" Sasori began. He looked up to see the sky dim "it's going to be night soon, let's get inside"

So the four Akatsukis and what seemed like a future member, Hinata walked into the cave. Itachi kept glancing at the heiress, talking and smiling at Deidara and the others. After all that, she could still smile and laugh.

Then he did something so unpredictable, so impossible. For just a split second, Itachi smiled.

Jonins and ANBUs raced through the forest, going deeper and deeper. Till the soil turned dark.

Sasuke entered the estate. He walked through the garden path till he saw a familier face. Neji was pouring some water into plants.

"I didn't know you were a gardener, Hyuuga" Sasuke smirked. Neji looked at him a glared.

"What do you want, Uchiha?" he growled.

"Just wondering if the princess is here" he answered. Neji knew he was talking about Hinata.

"Why?"

"None of your concern, where is she?"

"She's missing, we sent out a Missing Person mission for her"

Sasuke was surprised. Then he remembered the Jonins and ANBUs. She was the missing person?

How stupid he thought, as he walked out of the estate. Before leaving her turned to Neji.

"Has she ever returned?"

"Not since two days ago"

Two days ago. That was when she ran away to the forest.
