Deidara woke up the next day with a terrible headache. Last night he had a nightmare...even though these things usually didn't actually scare him when he had them, this time he was freaked out by it, since it was a result from Tsukuyomi. He rubbed his head as he slipped out of bed and dressed himself in Akatsuki uniform. He walked to his bathroom, turning toward the mirror to look at himself.
Why did you kiss her? Deidara asked his reflection in his mind. I mean...damn...so what now, are Hinata and I together now or...gah...I was never good in these situations... after finishing in the bathroom, he walked out to the hallway, walking down to the little spiral staircase. Maybe Danna'll be useful...
"Deidara," a voice spoke. Deidara looked up to the top of the stairs he was walking up on, finding Konan on the next floor he was about to get on.
"What, hmmm?" he asked.
"Have you seen Hinata around? I can't find her anywhere..." Konan said, a shocking hint of worry in her voice. Deidara raised his eyebrows.
"No I haven't, hmmm," he answered.
"Well please assist us in finding her then. We're all looking," Konan told him, before walking off down the hallway. Deidara came all the way up the stairs, walking down the hall Konan disappeared around the corner in.
Don't tell me she ran away or something... Deidara thought. Hmph, it'd be so stupid if she did...
"HEY DEIDARA!" Hidan yelled from the corner of the hallway Deidara was approaching. Deidara inwardly growled. "Hey! I heard you and Hinata hooked up! You're a fucking idiot, you know."
"What did you call me, hmmm?!"
"It's true. Itachi's gonna fuckin' murder you soon..."
"..."
"Yeah well, while you go wallow in your own shit, I'M gonna go find the bitch. No one has any idea where the fuck she is...later," and with that, Hidan left. Deidara sighed, heading towards the entrance of the base to go to the forest to see if he could find her.
-:|:-
Hinata wearily opened her eyes. "Hm...?" she groaned. She looked around, finding herself on the ground, leaning on a rock to help her sit up. She found a cover tossed over her lap too. Hinata picked up the cover.
"So you're up huh?" Hanabi asked. Hinata saw about 5 feet infront of her her so-called half-sister, squatting on the ground staring at her. Hinata's countance angered.
"What are you doing with me?" Hinata asked. She then wondered why SHE hadn't kidnapped Hanabi, let alone why she LET Hanabi do so...
"I'm bringing ya back to Konoha of course," Hanabi said, standing up. "We traveled a good couple miles from where we were, so our village is close by! I think we'll b-"
"What do you mean by OUR village?" Hinata asked, standing up, letting the cover fall off of her. Hanabi looked up at Hinata with a little fear. "I'm not of Konoha. I'm of Akatsuki. My mother and father are Pein and Konan. My brothers are Sasori and Kisame. My idiot cousin is Hidan. My elder is Kakuzu. My boyfriend is-" she didn't finish that sentence. Hinata looked at her feet.
"YOU have a BOYFRIEND?!" Hanabi yelped. Hinata narrowed her eyes at Hanabi again. "...Sorry 'bout that..." Hanabi apologized. "...and what do you mean by this brothers and cousins crap? You do realize that they're not REALLY related to you, right?"
"Of course I do," Hinata responded. "It's just that that's how I see them as. Most of them have been with me my whole life, so I see them as family."
"But you have a REAL family now! Don't you see?!" Hanabi shouted. "You have me and Uma, our mother. She's DYING. We don't know how long she has, so you better come with me to Konoha and make her feel better, because I believe that if she can just look at you again, she'll be better!"
"Are you telling ME what to do?" Hinata asked darkly. Hanabi flinched.
"Y-Yeah...but damn it! She's your freakin' mother! Aren't you the least bit curious on what she looks like or WHAT she's like?!"
"No," Hinata answered simply.
"What do you mean by "no"?!" Hanabi yelled angrily.
"Why would I ever want to see the face of the woman who abandoned me in the forest in a campsite to die for no apparent reason? They didn't even search for me. I was barely a year old...if Konan didn't find me, I'd be dead by now..."
"What are you talking about? You weren't abandoned!" Hanabi exclaimed. Hinata looked at Hanabi questionably. "That's right! You WEREN'T. You were stolen by some Paper Goddess or whatever, her real name being Konan. SHE killed our family, Hinata. She's our enemy. I don't know WHY she spared you and took you from mom but..."
Hinata's eyes widened. "WHAT?!" Hinata shouted. "How DARE you lie about something like that! Konan RESCUED me. And no way did she destroy the Hyuuga clan...that was someone else...it had to be..." Hinata's eyes eased. Hanabi stared at Hinata. She looked down.
"Believe what you want Hinata, but the truth's the truth. Konan's the reason you were taken from us. We sometimes assumed you were dead, but mother NEVER stopped having faith that you were alive somewhere. Remember that..."
Hinata said nothing. She simply stared down at the ground not knowing what to believe. Konan was of course pretty dark, but deep inside, she had a good heart. She'd never do something so evil...would she?
"Hinata, I can tell just by being around that you're a pretty tough kunoichi..." Hanabi started. "...and since you're so stubborn, I don't think I have a chance of bringing you home by force now...but that doesn't mean I won't try...one of these days...so, before you run off, could I atleast have your picture?" Hinata furrowed her brow.
"What?" Hinata asked.
"Your picture. I want to take your picture so I can show our mother. She's been dy- I mean, she really wants to know what you look like very badly. So...could I...?"
Hinata blinked. A picture...? she thought. She narrowed her eyes yet again. ...if she gets my picture, who knows what she could with it...they'll be sending countless squads after me all the time...I can defeat them easily, but they'll discover the Akatsuki base location, and then we'll have to relocate and everything... Hinata looked at Hanabi. ...but what if it really IS to show my mother? Wait, what?! I thought I didn't believe her!
"If you don't believe me yet, then look at this..." Hanabi walked to her backpack, unzipping a little compartment and taking out a piece of paper. She gave it to Hinata. Hinata looked down at the paper. It was actually a photo. It showed a woman with the same she had with short dark hair. She was holding a sleeping baby in her arms and was smiling. Hinata looked at Hanabi. "That's you and mom," Hanabi said, as if reading Hinata's thoughts.
"This could be anyone," Hinata stated, giving the photo back to Hanabi. Hanabi growled.
"That's your freakin' mother damn it! Stop being so damn stubborn and BELIEVE me! What other proof do you want?! I have the same eyes as you, so does the woman in the picture, who is, as I already said, OUR MOTHER! Why is this so hard fro you to understand?!"
"I'll only believe it if Konan says it's true..." Hinata answered. "...but I already know it isn't. Konan would NEVER kill a whole clan. She sees me as her own daughter, and I see her as my own mother. Unless she admits that this is true, I will not believe you, but, as I already told you, I know it isn't. So I guess I will just go waste my time and ask her..."
"Wait, you're going to ASK her?" Hanabi asked. Hinata nodded.
"She'll just LIE to you, no duh!"
"Konan has never lied to me in my whole life," Hinata said. "She WILL tell me if what you say is true or not...goodbye, for now." Hinata turned and started to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Hanabi called.
"What is it?" Hinata asked.
"Please! Let me take your pictue!" she begged. "I don't know if I'll ever see you again...and mother'd really like to know what you look like!"
"No! Who knows what you could with my picture..." Hinata replied.
"Come on! Just ONE simple picture?"
"..."
"...?"
"...Fine. But just ONE, and one ONLY, understand?"
Hanabi nodded. Hinata groaned, knowing she'd regret this, and turned to face Hanabi. Hanabi ran to her backpack, grabbing a camera out of it, and ran back to Hinata. She aimed it at Hinata.
"Smile!"
"Yeah right."
FLASH!
"There!" Hanabi smiled. She forced the little camera into her pocket. "Mom's gonna be so happy!"
"Yeah, yeah...again, goodbye for now," Hinata disappeared in that moment.
That had to be the stupidest thing that I have ever done, Hinata thought as she made her way back to base. Hanabi sighed...she didn't know if she'd ever see Hinata again, but if she didn't, she at least had Hinata's picture to remember her by.

Deidara flew overhead of the forest, looking all over for Hinata. He saw a flash of black and red in the corner of the lense on his scope. He looked towards that direction, zooming in towards the quick figure. He made it out to be Hinata, seeing the character's long, shiny black-purple hair. Deidara smirked, swooping down on his giant clay hawk to her.
Hinata heard the cry of the hawk from above...a LOUD one. She looked up, finding the blond Akatsuki riding the large clay figure. She stopped running, letting Deidara's creation land in front of her.
"There you are, hmmm," Deidara said, his clay hawk's wings still flapping as its feet reached the ground. "Where the hell have you been, hmmm? We've been looking everywhere for you."
"Not even the great Akatsuki members could track me? That's a laugh," Hinata said. Deidara jumped off his bird, walking up to Hinata.
"You're pretty far from the base, hmmm. Why is that?" Deidara asked.
"I wanted time alone...you know, after what happened last night," Hinata lied.
"Hmph...well, speaking of last night, does this mean that...you know...we're together now?"
"I'm not sure...I guess so..." Hinata said, looking to the ground. Itachi... she thought. Deidara grinned.
"Great, hmmm! Let's get back home-I mean, to base..." he grabbed Hinata's wrist, dragging her to the hawk. Hinata felt the mouth on Deidara's hand sucking on her wrist the whole way to the bird, but for some reason she let it do so. They hopped on the clay creature's back, Hinata automatically hugging Deidara from behind where she sat, her arms under his arms. Deidara smirked (yet again) at that, commanding the bird to fly up into the air. It did just that, and headed back to base.
On the way back, which would take a while, considering that they were a good number of miles away from it, Deidara noticed how Hinata would peer down at the earth occasionally.
"What, is the great Akatsuki Princess afraid of heights, hmmm?" he said with a sly smile.
"Oh shut up," Hinata said. "I'm not afraid. It's just that I've never been this high above ground, so I'm just getting use to it right now."
"Of course you are, hmmm..." Deidara said sarcasticly. He looked at her from over his shoulder. "...don't be afraid to snuggle up next to me, hmmm. I won't bite." He was amused to see a hint of red on Hinata's cheeks, Hinata stubbornly trying to hide it. He snickered before looking back at the out-stretched land before him. Hinata stared at him, just barely seeing his eyelashes curve up from the side of his face from her angle. She quietly sighed as she pushed herself closer to him, tightning her grip on him, letting her chin rest on his shoulder, her head leaning on his. She could feel him smirk again. He looked at her from the corner of his eye, and saw a sad look on her face. "Hinata?" he asked. She looked at him.
"What...?" she asked gloomly.
"...You're thinking of Itachi, aren't you?" Deidara asked. Hinata looked down at the ground slowly passing by. She knew she kind of hated Itachi for almost causing Deidara to go into mental health problems, but at the same time, she still cared about him...but just a little. And yet, at the same again, she didn't want to like him anymore and-
Hinata sighed.
God I hate teenage drama.

Kiba sniffed the air. No sign of Hanabi. He sighed. They were more than half way to the nearby area of Sunagakure and there wasn't even a trace yet of their friend.
"Kiba, did you forget to pack one of our tents?" Kurenai asked.
"No! I packed EVERY ONE OF THEM!" he yelled.
"Then why is yours missing?" Kurenai asked, pointing at his backpack. Kiba looked over his shoulder, finding that his tent wasn't rolled up ontop of his backpack. WOW.
"Uh...this is embarrassing..." Kiba said nervously.
"Oh Kiba..." Shino sighed frustratingly.
"Fine, fine! I'll go get it! Geez...just-just wait here! I'll be back in 2 minutes! Stay here Akamaru."
"Rooo..." Akamaru said.
"Good boy," Kiba said before leaving the area. In just a few moments. Kiba reached his destination to the small area they stayed the night in. He saw his tent half packed and half discombulated on the ground. He sighed, grabbing it and starting to pack it all nice and neat. Then, like yesterday, he heard more rustling in the bushes. Kiba sprung up, throwing a kunai into the bushes.
"YAH!" Kiba yelled.
"GYAAH!!!"
"...?"
Kiba was more than surprised to see Naruto crawl out of the bushes...a kunai in his butt. Ouch. Kiba tried to hold back the urge to laugh. Naruto shakily looked up at him.
"YOU...bastard..." Naruto growled, ripping the kunai outo f his body. "GYOUCH!"
"Well what kind of ninja makes obvious rustling sounds in the freakin' bushes while he's stalkng anyway?!" Kiba shouted. "I was suspecting it could of been you...the scent I smelled was too foxy...no Naruto, not THAT kind of foxy..." Kiba added, seeing the disturbed look on Naruto's face. "So why're you here?!"
"I came to help you all find Hanabi-chan!" Naruto yelled triumphly, waving a "heroic" finger in the air. Kiba sweatdropped.
"Uh...sure..." Kiba replied. "...but Naruto, we really don't need your help. We've got it under control...we caught Hanabi's scent a few hours ago earlier this morning...we're on her tracks."
"Really? It took THIS long for two chuunins and a jonin to find the where-abouts of a newbie chuunin?"
"Shut up," Kiba said, glancing to the side. Naruto grinned.
"But seriously Naruto, go home."
"BWAHAHA! That's funny...you're expecting ME of all people to go home! Ha-ha!" Naruto said.
"Guess you're right..." Kiba siad under his breath as he finished tying up his tent. He attached it to his backpack, putting the load back on his back. Naruto had a giant closed grin on his face. "What's with you?" Kiba asked.
"I'm just happy! I can't wait to see Hanabi...you know, if she found anything on her sister, since the reason she left is because of that! Wonder if she's hot...ah it don't matter! Long as she's nice..."
"Yeah, I've been wondering that too...what this girl's like..." Kiba mumbled.
"So can I come with you guys or what?" Naruto asked.
"Isn't it obvious? We don't really have any other choice..."
"YESH! LET'S GO!!!" Naruto said, running off into the forest.
"..."yesh"...?" Kiba asked himself. He blinked. "NARUTO WAIT! THAT'S THE WRONG WAY, YOU DUMBASS!"
-:|:-
"Here we are, hmmm," Deidara said aloud, the large clay hawk landing infront of the base. The rest of Akatsuki, already sensing their presence, all came outside to see them (except for three of them though: Pain, Madara, and Itachi)
"There you are bitch! What the fuck's wrong with you?! Why the fucking hell did you run off?!" Hidan yelled.
"Do you ever stop cursing Hidan?" Hinata asked as she got off the clay creature.
"What the fuck do mean by cursing?! I don't ever fucking cuss er swear! So shut the fuck up!" Hidan growled. Hinata formed a small smile on her face.
"Hinata..." Konan spoke, walking through the crowd to her. Hinata looked up at her.
"Mother..." Hinata stated.
"Tell me, why did you run off like that?"
"Yeah sweety, tell us all about your damn problems," Hidan sarcasticly said.
"Pipe down Hidan," Kisame spoke with his unusual sharky grin, taking the words right out of Deidara's mouth. Hidan once again growled.
"Mother, we need to talk in private..." Hinata said. "Would you...?"
"Of course. Follow me," Konan responded, walking towards the base with Hinata following. Once they closed the door behind them, Kakuzu turned to Hidan.
"Hey, Jashin-bitch," Kakuzu said. "Let's go. We've gotta bounty of Hiroshi Yushitama. He's got 2 million on his head. He was last seen near the border of the Mist Village...so let's hurry up."
"JASHIN-BITCH?!!" Hidan screeched. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE LORD JASHIN'S NAME IN VAIN LIKE THAT!! DAMN YOU TO HELL KAKUZU YOU SON OF A FU-"
"HIDAN! SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP, HMMM!" Deidara yelled. "God, you're even more annoying than...than..."
"Tobi...?" Sasori finally spoke out of the blue from his point next to Kisame.
"Yeah...that little bastard is so da-"
"SENPAI!!!"
"Shi-"
BAM!
Deidara was tackled to the ground, being snuggled to death by his commrad. Kisame snickered his high-pitched snicker while Sasori just stared and Hidan just laughed his head off. Kakuzu wasn't paying attention at this point.
"Senpai! I'm so glad you found Hinata-chan! She's been gone forEVER! And you saved her! Yay! Senpai saved his lubby from certain death! Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Tobi heard how you and Hinata-chan hooked up! Poor Itachi...but now Senpai's getting the goods now, huh?! HUH?! Ha! Senpai's cool like that because he's number one! Senpai! You're number o-"
"TOBI!"
"Yes...?"
"Get off of me now before I have you regret the day your mother ever met your father, hmmm..." Deidara gritted through his teeth, giving Tobi an icy death glare.
"YIPE!" Tobi jumped off of Deidara, letting the blond stand up. Deidara patted the dirt form himself as he did. "So...is Tobi correct? Deidara's with Hinata-chan now?! Huh?! Huuuuh?!"
"..."
"...HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP TOBI, HMMM!" Deidara snapped. Tobi flinched.
"Yeah is this shit true or am I just hearing a bunch of fucked up rumors?" Hidan asked.
"...It's true, hmmm," Deidara answered quietly.
"YAAAAY!!! Senpai! You finally have a girlfriend!" Tobi yelled happily, flailing his arms.
"Was that an insult...?" Deidara growled.
"N-No I-"
"Doesn't matter, hmmm. Besides, I've had tons of girlfriends back in Iwa...some freakin' hot, some really plain, some nerdy, some dorky, some incredibly sweet, and the rest devilishly evil, hmmm..." Deidara shuddered.
"...?" Tobi stared at Deidara, Deidara noticing it.
"What, you think these good looks went to waste in that dump of a village?!" Deidara asked, pointing at himself. Hidan coughed. Deidara glared at him while Hidan just stared at him innocently.
