Sunlight washed over Fukuko as she stepped out of the dark damp cave. Beside her stood Sasori hiding within his puppet like a vampire hiding from the sun, and Deidara who was still as annoyed as he was earlier. Ignoring the negative attitudes of the two men, Fukuko skipped cheerfully along in a long black pair of trousers, and a dark blue t-shirt, that had fish-netting across the collar. Being too big for her, Fukuko had tied a purple ribbon across her stomach so it remained tight.

It felt so wonderful to feel the sun light on my skin and having the moment to enjoy it!Grinning happily, I skipped along. "So what's the mission from Big P?"

"We need your stealing skills to help us break into a village and steal a scroll un"

I laughed nervously and stopped in my tracks, "You want me to steal what? No seriously, what's the mission?"

"There will be no arguing" Sasori said darkly, "If you refuse or fail in this mission, you will certainly be killed"

No win situation. . . I sighed and ignored the threats. If I refuse, they kill me. If I succeed, I turn into a criminal like them. . But if I was caught. . . I smiled wickedly. Then I won't hesitant to hand them over to the ninjas and run free again.

"You'll be fine un" Deidara said taking my wrist and pulling me along, "You're good at escaping. You got pass me twice."

"But that was easy" I said before I could stop myself. "I mean. . ." I laughed nervously, "There was only one of you, and there's a whole village of them"

His grip tightened on my wrist and stayed silent. So much for keeping him in good mood. Another thing I fail at.

I turned my attention to Sasori and tried to start a conversation with him instead. "So. . . What's your favourite colour?"

He ignored me like Deidara and I glared in annoyance. They could at less try treating me with respect.

I growled and kicked at the ground but regretted it at once. When I heard a stone thud against Deidara's head.

I whistled innocently and looked away. Maybe Deidara has a split personality, I thought as he dragged me along. One day his nice side talks, and the other his grumpy side takes over. Or maybe there's two of him!

"Hey Deidara" I asked him, "Do you have a twin?"

"No un" Deidara said confused, "Why?"

"No reason." I shrugged, "You just seem more annoyed lately. I wouldn't mind too much if you wasn't using my arm as a stress ball."

His grip loosen quickly, "Sorry un" he apologised.

"No problem" I smiled, "You can make up for it by buying me new clothes in the village"

"Fine un"

Time dragged as we walked silently along. On and on and on and on and on and on. My legs begun to ache and I was growing more tired from the past sleepless nights.

"I spy with my little eye" I yawned, "Something starting with D"

I looked around, dragging my feet along. "Darkness!" I cried, "I'm good at this game"

What? … No one else would play with me.

"I'm bored!" I whined, "Can we rest yet? My feet hurt!"

"No" Sasori growled.

"Please!"

"No un" Deidara said.

I love this game.

"Rest!"

"No"

"Rest!!"

"No un!"

"REST!"

"NO!"

I fell silently and pouted, "I don't like this game."

"You're weird un"

"Not" I whined again, "I'm sleepy and my legs hurt!"

"We'll take a break in an hour" Sasori said, "If we stop here we're sitting ducks."

Another whole hour?! I pulled my hans free of Deidara and crossed my arms stubbornly. "I .. Want.. To.. Rest .. Now" I said slowly.

"Fu Hina we can rest later un!"

"Now"

"Later"

"Now"

"Come on un!"

"Now"

"Move now!"

I paused in thought as an idea came to me.

"Deidara" I purred, "Can you carry me?"

"C-Carry you un?!"

"Please" I pouted, "I'll be so ever grateful"

If flirting worked once on Deidara, it must work again! And sure enough it did.

5 minutes later I had my arms wrapped gently around his neck as he carried me on his back.

I sighed lightly and rested my head on his shoulder. The wind blew through his hair and sent it tickling the back of my neck. I giggled and closed my eyes breathing in his scent. It made me dizzy and sleepy even more then I already once. But it also made me feel safe and protected, even though he was a S-classed criminal.

I smiled lightly as I fell into a deep sleep. "Deidara. . ."

Fukuko made her way silently across the forest in her new disguise. She had transformed herself into a red haired girl with dark blue eyes. She wore a tight leather outfit that held her many daggers.


She came to a halt and narrowed her eyes as she sensed something behind.

She turned with a smile and bowed as source emerged from a tree trunk. The person looked down at her with yellow eyes as his snake like tongue swayed in front of his pale face.


"Good evening, Orochimaru-Sama"
