CHAPTER TEN
ESCAPING IS FUTILE
I was right. Reading directions make everything better. Deidara's cooking wasn't perfect, but it was still better. And with a little practice he'll be an EXPERT! Okay, maybe not an expert, but pretty close to it.
I could also feel my energy coming back to me. I could thankfully feel where things were now.
"Thanks, Deidara!" I said to him.
"You're welcome, un." he said with a silly grin on his face, even though I couldn't see it, he was obviously pleased with himself.
"Itachi's cooking tomorrow!" I said.
"Like hell I am." Itachi said.
"Come on, Itachi! You can cook without directions! I remember you cooking for me!" I said.
"That was five years ago." he said.
"Killjoy." I said.
"Get over it." he said. "I'm going back to bed."
"No, wait! What time is it?' I asked.
"Four in the morning." he said.
"Where do I sleep?" I asked.
"An extra room." he said vaguely. Then he left.
"Okay, anyone want to show me where an extra room might be?" I asked.
"Sure, un. Follow me." Deidara said. So I did. He led me back to the room where I was probably sleeping in before.
"Thanks, Deidara." I said for the second time.
"You're welcome, un." he said.
"Hey, Deidara?"
"Yes, un?"
"You don't seem like the kind of person to be in the Akatsuki. So why are you in it?" I asked.
"Oh, well, the Akatsuki went seeking me out. When I refused to join their organization, Leader-sama made a deal with me. He said that if I could beat Itachi, I could go free. But if I lost, I would have to joining the Akatsuki with no complaints. Obviously, I lost, un." he said.
"That's not fair. If you didn't want to join, you didn't have to." I said.
"I agree, un." he said. "Good night, Yuki.
"Yeah. Good night." I said and he left. I'm breaking out of this place whether Itachi likes it or not. I felt a window close to the bed and went to see if it opened. It didn't. I guess I have to take the hard way- out the front door.
I tried being as quiet as I could going through the halls. When I opened the door, it squeaked a little bit. I ran out as fast as I could, dodging tree after tree. Not even after 30 seconds of doing this did something get in my way, making me fall back onto my butt.
"Look what we have here." an unknown voice said.
"Someone trying to escape." A deeper voice said. I noticed that it was coming from the same person.
"Who are you? I said fiercely.
"Zetsu. Now come back to the Akatsuki or let me have the pleasure of eating you." he said.
"I'll fight you! I'm not going back there! Why are you guys keeping me there, anyway?"
"Who knows. Itachi sees great potential in you, but all I see is a weak pathetic blind girl." the deeper voice of him said.
"I'll kill you!" I yelled, running at him.
"I don't think so." he said, hitting my pressure point.
"Escaping is futile." was the last thing I heard before I passed out.
