AN: Back from exams! Enjoy the chapter!
It Ended With a Bang Chapter 10: Undercover work!
Deidara was violently pulling her comb through the tangled blonde tresses upon her back, which was a huge hassle. On a normal morning Deidara would simply tie her hair in a ponytail, because when you're pretending to be a guy you don't need to worry about being pretty. Sadly for Deidara, society judges women more harshly on their looks.
"Jeaz un" she groaned, but soon after was a bit satisfied with the silkiness of her locks. "Finally done"
"Senpai is very pretty today" Tobi stated, sneaking up behind her. Deidara pushed him away, ignoring the generous compliment.
"What did I say about getting too close? You're violating my rules" Deidara fumed.
"But Tobi wanted to see if senpai smelled as good as she looks" he spoke in a somewhat teasing voice. His reward was Deidara blushing slightly, and having her heart beat at a faster, but noticeable pace.
Madara's fantasies were interrupted by a sudden rapping on the room's door.
"I'll get it!" Deidara squeaked, to get away from the tension between her partner and herself. Running towards the door her white nightgown dragged behind. Behind the close doors was a man wearing a black, who was taken aback by the angel in front of him.
He blushed as he spoke, "Good m'rning miss"
"Miss?! Who you calling a girl punk?" Deidara snapped as she grabbed the innocent and very worried man by the collar. It had slipped her mind that she was her true self, a woman.
"Megami, honey" Tobi laughed and put an arm around her waist. He looked toward the man, "I'm so sorry" he started as he took Deidara's hands from his shirt, "You see my wife were playing a ninja game" he implied suggestively with a wink.
Deidara stomped on his foot hard for it.
"Mmm..Megami" he moaned, making Deidara more angry. "My wife gets so involved with the game that she can get a little carried away" he chuckled, which made Deidara fake giggle along.
The man looked at them questionable, but shrugged it off. "I'm here to remind you about tonight's ball"
"Ball?!" Deidara questioned, a little shocked.
"Yes it's a fancy dance, the Mist is very poor, and we are trying to give our village a better name" the man explained.
"I know what a ball is" she snapped back, "But why are you telling us"
"Why, you don't remember? My employer said you and your lover would be coming"
'crap' she thought. "Oh yah we'll be there"
"Great, I was really hoping to see you there" he muttered with a blush on his cheeks, and walked away.
Bang! The door slammed shut behind Deidara's back as she faced her partner. "Don't you ever do that again," she glared, "I would never ever do that…with you!"
Madara forced himself to nod, and go back into his Tobi-form. "Gee Senpai, are we really going to a ball!!"
"Of course not! I'm not wearing a fancy gown in public, there's no way" she finalized.
"You know Senpai going to a ball might help us find information on the jinchuriki kid, with all the Mist people in all"
Deidara groaned for once Tobi was talking logical.
As Tobi would say, the sky was lit with a half eaten cookie and someone spilled the milk too! Tonight was different though. Tobi stood wearing a tux with a red rose pinned above his heart; he was waiting for Deidara to finish dressing.
"Senpai?" he asked, starting to get impatient, "Are you okay?"
"I..i'm fine" she stuttered strongly back, "Just not use to this crap"
"Want me to come in Senpai?" he questioned to the door of the bathroom.
"No! not again" she warned, but then settled, "Just go without me"
"Bu…"
"I'll catch up with you, just go" Deidara ensured.
"But I want to stay her with Tobi's Senpai!!" he whined to her.
"You better get the hell out of here Tobi! Don't make me bomb you!" Deidara directed even though he left the first sentence.
In the ballroom, Madara wasn't even expecting this and that's saying a lot. Mist is known as poor, but this was beautiful. Crystal chandeliers reflected the light, the floor a white marble was polished to see yourself within, and golden decors about the place. What's more is that the dance floor was packed with gentlemen and ladies.
Even with all this change, Madara was still not excited. Surprises in general do not affect him….or so he thought.
Though the grand opening a beauty emerged, this made every man in the room her way. Her blonde locks, curled at the tips, swayed with her round hips as the dark purple gown dragged behind her heels. A face of an angel is what she had; it was touched up a little with peach lip stick, and rose blush.
'Deidara?' Madara asked shockingly in his as she approached closely.
Deidara was uncomfortable, it seemed as all male eyes her and the female ones were glaring through her. "Did I do something wrong? I dressed like the other ladies" Deidara whispered nervously.
"Perfect my dear" Madara flirted and pulled an arm around her waist as he used his other hand to grab hers. The swaying started, then transformed into dancing. Deidara didn't have much experience in this art, so she allowed him to lead.
'I like this' Deidara thought happily as she waltzed around with him. Deidara was enjoying herself so much she didn't realize her head was rested on Tobi's shoulder, and his hand rested on her back.
'She can calm down a lot' Madara chuckled in his head, but it didn't last for long for Deidara caught up with herself. She pulled away nervously and straitened her posture.
"We're supposed to be asking around not dancing" she said in a sad voice before leaving in the other direction. She started asking around, but many people gave her strange looks, until she asked a man who was very interested in her.
"So you know something about the Yagura kid?" Deidara pressed, smiling fake to charm the man in the black suit.
"I wouldn't call him a kid" the man chuckle, and moved closer to Deidara.
Deidara moved back slightly. "He's not a kid"
"He was, but was also the Mizukage" the man revealed, but his main goal remained getting closer to the blonde beauty.
'Mizukage? Pein never mentioned that, it's like him to keep things from me' Deidara thought, and then came to her next realization. "Wait, was…that means"
"He's dead" the man finished, winking at Deidara.
"How? When?" she questioned while ignoring the man's suggestive moves.
"A while ago, but I don't know how the government probably made that classified" he stuttered, only proving that his drinks were catching up with him. "You know I don't know why you want to know so much about that brat!"
Deidara was taken aback by the man's sudden change of personality.
"I mean yah he's was a strong kid and wanted to protect this village, but who could trust him with that demon in him. The truth is nobody in this village really trusted him!"
Deidara looked around at the bystanders over hearing, and their eyes told that this man was telling the truth.
"He couldn't change who he was, which was a monster!" the man slurred, aiming his grubby hands for Deidara, but she stepped away.
Her eyes hardened at the jerk's comments, and said coldly, "Thanks for your help"
She ran across the ballroom; her heels clacking away. Tobi was merely standing there as she grabbed him and pulled him out into the chilled night air. 'Typical Tobi, not doing anything useful, couldn't even go around and ask questions'
As Deidara thought, Madara followed wherever she pulled him, but he had no idea where they were heading.
Close to the destination, Deidara's black high-heel's stained with the mud they squished in, and her once angelic hair turned devilish; it knotted up as well as hung in her face, smeared with makeup. She came to a halt when her vision showed a gray gravestone engraved 'Yagura, 4th Mizukage'.
'So she found out he was dead, but why did she take us here. As proof' Madara pondered.
The gravestone shocked Deidara for this was no respect to give a leader or a normal person for that matter. It was for one thing filthy! Moses and weeds grew around or on the gravestone, almost making his name illegible.
"So that's it. The kid's dead, that must mean the biju is too" Deidara sighed.
"No, I heard that the kid had the ability to control his demon and that it was out of him. The demon is still alive somewhere" said the knowledgeable voice that Deidara did not know.
'How does he know that? He wasn't asking people thing' she thought, but it disappeared as her sadness came back by staring at the grave.
Madara watched as Deidara swiped her hand over the name of the boy to clear it, and then place down wild flowers that were around her.
"Senpai, why pay respects to someone you don't know?" he asked as Tobi.
Deidara smiled sadly, "I can connect to this kid, he was seen by a stereotype. In his village he was considered a monster; in my I was considered a tramp, un"
Madara nodded for he now understood, and he continued to wait for her.
Deidara paid respects not to the former Mizukage or the third biju prize of the Akatsuki; she saw a kid that only needed to be seen for the way he was, like herself. Afterword she took a deep breath, and stood up against the world.
"Abort mission Senpai?" Tobi replied.
"Yah, un. The mission was a failure. Let's go tell Pein-sama all about the good news "she finished sarcastically as they both walked towards the rising sun.
