Love Story: DeiSaku
Kakashi and the gang were waiting at the camp the next day. They were having another meeting about their mission.
"The Princess is Sakura-chan, I'm sure of it" Naruto said.
"She admitted it to me the other night, hmm" Deidara said.
"The other night?" Everyone asked.
"You and Sakura-chan were alone at night?!" Naruto yelled. "What do you think you were doing with my Sakura-chan huh?"
"Calm down Naruto-kun…" Hinata said as she wrapped her arms around his arm as she blushed.
"Sorry Hinata. It's just that Sakura-chan is like a sister to me. I really care about her" Hinata's eyes widened. So Naruto was never in love with Sakura.
"The Princess admitted she was your Princess from Konoha?" Temari asked. "I knew it. I didn't want to say anything though until I knew for a fact."
Deidara nodded. "But Orochimaru or Tobi put some random story in her head to make us look like the bad guys. Remember the story Kakashi told us. Instead of thinking Orochimaru was the one who killed her family and tried to experiment on her, she was told that it was Jiraiya-sama, hmm"
"That bastard" Sasuke spat. "I'll kill him"
"Don't worry little brother. We'll have our chance" Itachi said. "Now, we just have to worry about the Jade Ace"
"The Jade Ace said he'd join our side, didn't he Deidara-san" Sai said with his fake smile. Deidara made a face.
"Yeah, hmm" Deidara muttered. 'How could he act like he's not the Jade Ace?'
Everyone could feel the vibe between the two.
"Did something happen between you two?" Kisame asked.
"Not at all Fish-boy" Sai said. Kisame glared at his nickname.
"You've met the Jade Ace, Sai-kun?" Ino asked. "Is he as hot as he looks?"
Deidara made a face. You can always count on Ino to talk about boys. But he always thought Ino had a thing for Shikamaru. He soon looked to see Shikamaru and Temari chatting it up. He smirked. Ino was jealous of Temari.
"That isn't a thing you should ask guys. Ask Temari instead, she's met him and they're actually good friends"
"You two are friends!" Naruto shouted. "Then why did you make us go through all that trouble to persuade the Jade Ace when you could have asked him yourself"
"Shut up!" Temari said. "It's to protect Sakura-chan. Everyone in the kingdom knows that the Jade Ace is opposing Lord Orochimaru. If Orochimaru knew that I was in good terms with the Jade Ace, he'd find out that I'm actually a spy. He might do something to Sakura-chan since she and the Jade Ace are good friends. And I mean really good friends!" Temari said as she looked over to Deidara. Ino smiled as she realized what Temari was trying to do.
"Really good friends?" Ino asked as she raised her fist to her mouth. "As in there's something going on between them?" Temari smirked at Ino's question.
The two watched as Deidara's ears twitched. They got him.
Shikamaru sighed. This is why girls are so troublesome.
"Huh? But isn't the Princess already married to the upcoming King?" Naruto asked.
"I don't blame her falling for the Jade Ace. He looks hot" Ino commented. Deidara looked over at Sai to see him smiling back at him. Deidara glared at him.
"Well, finding out that Sakura is our Princess, we have to send two people to report back to the King and Queen" Kakashi said as he was reading an orange book.
"What are you reading?" Kankuro asked.
Kakashi giggled. "Do you really want to see it?"
Kankuro nodded. Kakashi looked around as he passed the book over to Kankuro. Before they knew it, a large fan hit them hard in the head.
"Don't be idiots" Temari scold.
"Sorry sis" Kankuro said.
"I'll send Tenten and Neji back to Konoha" Kakashi said putting his book away while rubbing his new bump on his head.
Tenten and Neji nodded as Kakashi handed them a scroll. The two soon disappeared in the forest.
"When are Tobi and Orochimaru coming back from their meeting?" Shikamaru asked.
"They said they'd be back by next Wednesday" Temari said. "So we have 8 days"
"Good. That will give us a lot of time to gather information and find out their plans" Shikamaru said.
"Does that mean we can take a break for at least a few days?" Naruto asked.
Shikamaru and Kakashi sweat dropped when everyone came closer to them and gave them the look, excluding, Sasuke, Itachi, and Sasori. Shikamaru sighed.
"It's up to you Kakashi" Shikamaru said.
"I'm okay with it" Kakashi said. "I wonder if they sell Icha Icha Paradise around here."
Everyone cheered.
"Finally!" Hinata said. "W-We can actually just relax around without being suspicious"
"I know what you mean" Temari said. "This is actually my first break in months!"
"Hey! You guys looks!" Naruto exclaimed as he waved a paper in the air. "There's going to be a festival this Friday! We should go!"
"S-Sounds fun, Naruto-kun!" Hinata said with a gentle smile
"Hinata, we're going to have a fun time!" Naruto grinned at her.
Deidara took the paper as he examined it. 'I wonder if Sakura would like to come with me'. He soon looked over at Temari. He wondered if Temari would even let him take her. He soon remembered that he had to talk to them.
"Hey Temari. Can I have a word with you, hmm?" Deidara asked. "You too, Sai"
"What is it?" Temari asked when the three were alone.
"When are you going to tell everyone the truth about the Jade Ace's identity, hmm?" Deidara asked. Temari's eyes widened in shocked.
"When did you-"
"I found out after I brought Sakura back into her room after her wedding, hmm" Deidara said.
"I wasn't planning to" Temari said.
"Why the hell not? We're allies! We're supposed to tell everything to everyone to help us on this mission. And not telling everyone that Sai is the Jade is not okay, hmm" Deidara said.
"Bec-Sai?" Temari repeated.
"Yes Sai! You can't lie to me. I have clues to back me up on this one, hmm" Deidara crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Temari looked over to Sai and smiled. "Sai?"
Sai chuckled a bit and shrug his shoulders. "What can I say? This guy is "smarter" that he looks"
"I see" Temari said. "Let's make a deal. Keep the secret of Sai being the Jade Ace and I'll let you take Sakura out to the festival this Friday"
Deidara's eyes widened as a faint blush appeared on his face. "I-I never said that I wanted to take her to the festival, hmm?"
Temari and Sai sighed. He didn't have to. The moment Naruto talked about the festival, you could tell what he was thinking.
"You don't want to?" Sai asked. "Then I guess the 'Jade Ace' is going to have to bring her"
"It will never leave my lips, hmm" Deidara said as he walked away.
Temari laughed. "He's so predictable. And you" Sai gulped. "You're just lucky that Deidara only found out that you are the Jade Ace."
"I know, I know, but he didn't right?" Sai said. Temari glared at him.
"Whatever. I'm going to go check on Sakura-chan" Temari said as she left.
XxXxXxX
The next day Sakura had called in her ladies in waiting.
"Hey everyone, I haven't seen you girls since my wedding. I want to introduce you to my new lady in waiting. Her name is Konan"
Hinata and Ino were surprised to see how pretty the new girl was. Matsuri and Konan had eye contact with each other as they nodded at each. Temari noticed a red cloud pin on her top.
"Tobi-san sent her and her group to watch over me while he's gone" Sakura said. The girls could tell she wasn't happy about that.
"If you'd like, I can show her how things are done around here" Matsuri offered to help. "I mean, Temari-chan already had to teach the new three members. It wouldn't be fair"
"Thanks" Temari said.
"Well, that is all" Sakura said. All the girls left except for Temari.
Temari watched as Sakura got up and began to put her hair in a bun.
"Going out today?" Temari asked. Sakura nodded as she smiled at her.
"I haven't been able to go around because of all the wedding preparations." Sakura said.
"I'll go with you today. Need to buy food anyways" Temari said. "I'll wait for y-"
"Nah, I'll just meet you at the city" Sakura interrupted her.
Temari shrugged. "Suit yourself"
Temari arrived in the square as she was picking apples from a nearby vender. In the corner of her eye, she saw a few guards trying to get a lady. Not too far away, she saw Deidara in the area as well.
"I said leave me alone" the woman shouted.
Temari sighed. She knew what was going to happen. Temari just walked away and went to buy bread from another side of town.
"Stop touching me!" The woman shouted again.
"You can't order us around" One of them said. Deidara was going to go and stop the guards.
Before they knew it, the guard was kicked in the face as he flew into a nearby water fountain.
"She said stop" The new person said.
"Jade Ace!" The woman cheered.
Jade Ace smiled at her as he bowed and handed her a rose. Deidara made a face. Darn Sai, that show off…
Deidara watched as Jade Ace was caught off guard. A big guy came and held her from behind.
"So you finally show up Jade Ace" A guy which seemed to be the leader showed up cracking his knuckles. "Orochimaru-sama ordered us to capture you." The leader punched Jade Ace in the stomach really hard as the Jade Ace gasped for air. The big guy dropped him on the ground.
"Sai!" Deidara said in a low voice. "Damn it, hmm" Deidara threw a clay bomb in the middle of the guards as he grabbed Jade Ace and ran away.
"Get them!" The leader shouted.
"D-Deidara!" Jade Ace said in shocked. Deidara was still holding on to his hand as Deidara led them around the city.
"If I wasn't around, you'd be sent to Orochimaru and Sakura would be sad that you were captured" Deidara frowned. "Hurry and run, hmm"
Jade Ace's eyes widened as he nodded. More guards came after them. Jade Ace and Deidara had to jump from roof to roof but the guards were still on their tails.
The two soon had to stop. In front of them was a large river.
"You have nowhere else to run" The guards laughed. "Hand over Jade Ace and we will spare you life…or we can just kill you first"
Jade Ace glared at them as he took out his sword. Deidara noticed a cherry blossom chain hanging on the end of the sword.
"Come and get me if you want me so bad" Jade Ace taunted. "Unless you're all just talk"
"Bastard, I'll kill you" The big guy said as he pulled out his sword. Deidara watched as their swords met with every hit.
Jade Ace just smirked as he threw his sword up in the air.
"The hell?" The big guy said as he looked up. Jade Ace took this chance to take out his bow and arrow. It pierced the guy right in the heart. He soon grabbed his sword and slashed his throat, killing him the process.
"Who's next?" Jade Ace asked.
"Get him" The leader shouted as one by one came and attacked him. Deidara smirked. Can't let Sai get all the action right? He took out his sword and began to fight them as well.
One by one, the leader's men fell to the ground dead.
Jade Ace walked up to him as he pointed his sword at him. "Do you give up? I killed more than I have to. I don't want to kill anyone else"
"Die!" The leader shouted. Deidara's eyes widened. The leader was really fast, he could barely see him move. The Jade Ace was surprised as well when the sword pierced him in the stomach. He coughed out blood.
The leader laughed evilly as he kicked Jade Ace from his sword. Jade Ace screamed in pain as he was sent flying. Jade Ace glared at him as he quickly shot an arrow at the man's forehead. He felt himself hit Deidara as the two fell down. Deidara quickly wrapped his arms around Jade Ace as he got ready for the impact.
XxXxXxX
Temari had finished buying her food as she heard people yelling.
"What's going on?" Temari asked but people were in shocked to answer.
Temari looked around to see a familiar face in the crowd.
"Hey, what's going on?" Temari asked.
Sai couldn't answer as he pointed up in the roof. Temari quickly looked up to see the Jade Ace with a sword through him. The guard had kicked him as the sword went out of him painfully. Temari's mouth dropped in shocked along with her bags.
"Oh my god!" Temari screamed as she ran to the edge of the small wall to see Jade Ace and what seemed to be Deidara falling into the river.
"Jade Ace!" The villagers screamed. Sai rushed and grabbed Temari's hand and tried to follow the river.
"Come on, we have to find them before the others do" Sai said.
XxXxXxX
Deidara opened his blue eyes slowly as tried to get up. Looking around, he found himself in a shallow creek. Not too far away was Jade Ace. Blood was slowly flowing into the river.
"Hey Sai! Sai, are you okay, hmm?" Deidara asked as he shook him. He didn't respond. Deidara took out some bandages that he had with him and tried to stop the bleeding. He saw that Jade Ace wasn't breathing. "I have to give him CPR"
Taking off the Jade Ace's shirt, his hands began to feel something soft and squishy. "The hell-" Deidara blushed when he noticed what he was touching. He soon remembered that the person in front of him wasn't breathing.
Deidara pinched Jade Ace's nose as he blew air into her. He soon pumped her chest a few times and repeated the process. After a while Jade Ace coughed out some water along with some blood.
When Jade Ace tried to get up, Deidara noticed that Jade Ace's red hair was tilted to the side as some pink was showing.
"Damn it, that hurt" She said as she looked around and saw Deidara staring at her in shock. "I guess the jig is up"
Deidara watched as she stood up and pulled her red hair off. Long pink hair came down as she took off her mask. "Hello"
The Princess was the Jade Ace? What the hell was going on?
"I know you're confused as hell, but can we dry up first before we talk?" Sakura asked. Deidara just nodded. "I know there's a small hut around here, we can dry up there."
The two found the hut as they dried themselves off. Sakura sat down as her hand glowed green. She hover it over her wound as it soon disappeared. She soon stared at Deidara to see him staring at the fire between them.
"What's going on, hmm?" Deidara asked. "I thought Sai was the Jade Ace?"
"He is" Sakura replied. "We're both the Jade Ace. When I'm not able to go around the village, Sai takes over for me. He wears the wig and costume but has to use green contacts."
"So you're actually going against your own kingdom, hmm" Deidara said surprised. Honestly, he did not see this coming. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"And have word get out that the future queen is actually the one trying to bring down the kingdom? Yeah, didn't think so. I knew all this time that Orochimaru was up to no good, I'm not stupid. But I had to make sure I could trust you and the others. I know Temari and Kankuro are spies from the Suna Kingdom and that you and the other new members are from Konoha. I just had to play stupid for a while before I made sure. That's why I created the Jade Ace. I'm sorry for lying to you all this time…" Sakura said. "But I don't think Tobi is a threat, he doesn't seem to like Orochimaru as well. We can use him to get information and stop the war."
"I have a question though, hmm" Deidara said. "Who was playing the Jade Ace when I chasing that one time, when we both fell down the hill?"
"That was me" Sakura said. She watched as Deidara laughed.
"Thank god! I'm not gay, hmm" Deidara cheered. Sakura giggled.
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked.
"I was attracted to the Jade Ace that day. And when I first found out Sai was the Jade Ace, I thought I was gay. But it just happens that I was just attracted to you!" Deidara said with a smile. He soon noticed what he said.
"You're…attracted to me?" Sakura asked while blushing. "Is that why you kissed me the yesterday?"
"Actually I only kissed you because your face was really close up to me. It was just how I reacted to it, hmm" Deidara said bluntly. Sakura's mouth dropped.
"So if it was just another girl, you'd kiss her as well?" Sakura accused.
"Yeah, hmm" Deidara said. He soon felt a punch in the face. "What the hell was that for?"
"For what you said!" Sakura shouted. Deidara was going to yell back but soon realized something. He smiled.
"You're jealous, hmm" Deidara said. Sakura turned red as she turned around.
"Ha, not even. I'm happily married" Sakura said.
Deidara just laughed. "Don't worry. You'll still be my favorite pink-head, hmm." He said as he ruffled her hair. Sakura soon blushed. Why did simple words like that make her react like this?
"Anyways, you won't tell anyone that I'm actually the Jade Ace, right?" Sakura asked.
"I promise, but only on one condition, hmm" Deidara said.
"And what's that?" Sakura asked.
"You have to be my date this Friday for the festival, hmm" Deidara grinned.
Sakura laughed. "Sure"
"So are there anymore secrets you're hiding from me Sakura?" Deidara asked. Sakura was silent for a bit, and then smiled.
"Nope, nothing at all" Sakura said.

Eh, I don't really like this chapter, but I didn't know what else to type. But yeah, Sakura is truly the Jade Ace and Sai just takes over for her when she's busy. I hope I'm not going to fast with the DeiSaku thing. I wanted them to slowly fall in love. But yeah. School is almost over! Yeah! I want to thank everyone for reading my story so far. It makes me happy. Please wait patiently for my next update.
