Love Story: DeiSaku
Today was the day of the festival. Everyone was getting ready for the big night. It was almost six as Sakura was putting on her kimono. Looking at herself in the mirror as she did, she saw her doors opening.
"Hey, Sakura, are you rea-"Deidara had stopped in his sentence as Sakura was barely putting on her kimono.
"Deidara?" Sakura said as tilted her head to the side. Deidara said nothing as he covered his mouth with his hand. His face was visibly turning red. Sakura just shrugged as she finished putting on her kimono.
"Ready to go?" Sakura asked. Deidara had recovered from his nose bleed as he took a look at Sakura. She was wearing a dark green kimono with gold decorations and obi to match.
"I can't let you go out like that, hm" Deidara said. Sakura gave him a questioning look as Deidara touched her hair. "Can't have people talking, can we" He said with a smile. Sakura blushed a bit as she nodded. Going to her closet, she took out the wig she wore as Jade Ace.
"Taa-daa" Sakura said. "Let's go! I've never been to a festival before. Orochimaru has always restricted me from going. He said it wasn't safe."
"Are you serious? Festivals are the best. Especially the fireworks! They're the best. They always go out with a bang" Deidara grinned. "You'll love them, trust me, hm"
Sakura's eyes widened for a bit. Deidara looked really cute when he was talking about stuff like that. He sounded so happy.
"How's your foot by the way? I remember you sprained it a few days ago, hmm" Deidara said as he lifted her kimono a bit.
Sakura's green eyes widen in panic as she slapped Deidara in the head. "Its fine, you pervert"
"That hurt! Hm" Deidara said as he grabbed his head.
"Hmph! Serves you right" Sakura said as she stuck her nose up in the air. "Let's get going" Sakura walked out of her room as Deidara slowly followed her while rubbing his head.
Deidara helped Sakura up on his clay bird as he sat behind her and held her gently by the waist.
"You know what to do, right, hmm?" Deidara asked.
Sakura nodded as she kicked the bird gently by the side as it rose up in the air. Sakura giggled with excitement as she could feel the nice air. Deidara held his breath as he felt Sakura lean against him.
Sakura looked down below to see the colorful lights. She could see people from the village having fun. Deidara grabbed Sakura by the waist as they jumped down gently. The clay bird had disappeared.
Deidara smiled when Sakura chained arms as they walked to the festival. There was a large bonfire as people were dancing, easting, and chatting.
"Let's find my friends. Temari should be with them, hmm" Deidara said. Sakura knew that Temari and Kankuro were spies for Suna and that her ladies in waiting were spies for Konoha. But she knew she had to act normal when she was with them.
"Okay" Sakura said as Deidara led her to a certain group of people.
Temari's eyes widened as she recognized Sakura with Deidara. She soon informed Kankuro, Sai, and Matsuri.
Matsuri moved her blonde hair from her shoulders as she walked up to Deidara and blinked her light purple eyes a couple times.
"Hey, I'm Matsuri. I don't think we met" Matsuri said as she stuck her hand out. Deidara shook it.
"I'm Deidara. Now we met, hmm" Deidara said.
"Who's this Deidara?" Kisame asked as he walked up to Sakura.
"Nice, a talking fish" Sakura said jokingly. Kisame chuckled as he chugged a bit of his sake.
"You're funny" Kisame said. "I like you. Kisame soon introduced the whole group. Sakura's eyes widened when she saw Kakashi, Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi, Ino, and Hinata. They looked like people she met before. She looked at Deidara talking to Sasori. It seemed like Deidara didn't want his friends to know he was with the Princess. So she decided to play along.
"What's your name?" Sai asked as he smiled. Sakura frowned when she saw Sai making fun of her. He knew who she was. He stuck out his hand as she shook it.
"I'm Kimi" Sakura said. She saw Sai's smile grew.
"What a very ugly name" Sai said. "Your parents should have named you better"
"What an interesting fashion sense you have. Isn't a two piece supposed to be for girls?" Sakura commented back as she squeezed Sai's hand until it turned purple.
Sai quickly grabbed his hand back. "What a horrifying creature"
"What are you doing here? Are you allowed to even leave the quarters?" Temari whispered for Sakura to only hear. "What about the new guards Tobi sent to watch over you?"
"They think I'm sleeping" Sakura whispered back. "I stuff pillows and sheet to make it look like I'm in the covers."
"I don't like the new girl" Temari muttered. "I don't trust them"
"She's nice though" Sakura said with a smile. "This is actually my first festival, Temari-chan!"
Temari smiled. "I know. Enjoy it as much as you can…okay?"
"I'm surprised you're friends with Deidara" Sakura said. Temari began to sweat. Someone told her that Sakura knew something about her being a spy. But she decided to just act normally.
"Y-Yeah, he knew Sai a-and you seemed to really be getting along with him. I also met him when i went out to the village as well"
Sakura mentally laughed. Temari was so bad at lying. Sakura nodded happily as she ran to Deidara and pulled him to dance with her.
"Why is Deidara with that girl?" Naruto asked. "I thought Deidara was in love with Sakura-chan?"
The others just ignored him as they went to have fun at the festival.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed Hinata's hand and went to follow the group.
Deidara was running around happily with Sakura in tow.
"D-Deidara, wait" Sakura said tired from all the running.
"It's going to start soon, hmm" Deidara said as he took Sakura to the forest. The large clay bird was in front of them as Deidara carried Sakura in his arms as he went on the bird and flew up.
"What's going to start?" Sakura looked up in the now colorful light in the sky. "Fireworks…" she whispered. She looked up to see Deidara's grin on his face. He seemed to have notice her staring at him.
"Art is a bang, hmm" Deidara said as Sakura laughed.
"Thank you Deidara" Sakura said as she laced her hand with his. When she did that, she noticed a change in Deidara's eyes.
Deidara slowly brought his face closer to Sakura's as she realized what he wanted to do and she allowed him.
She knew deep in her heart. She may like Tobi, but her feelings for him were nothing compared to Deidara.
She didn't care if Deidara was a spy from Konoha, or that she was the Queen of Sound, or that she was married to Tobi. She was unconditionally in love with Deidara…
She felt Deidara's soft lips on hers as she kissed back. Deidara soon pulled back as he rested his forehead against Sakura's.
"D-Deidara?" Sakura whispered as she placed her hands on Deidara's chest.
"Not here, hmm" Deidara said as Sakura felt the bird begin to move again. Deidara soon kissed her once more as the bird headed towards the Princess' quarters.
Matsuri looked up in the sky to see a large bird flying across the sky with something pink and yellow on it. "Interesting" Matsuri said with a smirked as she began to walk towards the kingdom as well.
XxXxXxX
Deidara held Sakura bridal style as the two were still kissing. Sakura had her arms wrapped around his neck. Deidara jumped off the clay bird as it disappeared. He walked out of the forest and ended up at the area where he found out Sakura was the Princess of Sound. Walking and entering her room, he closed the door behind him with his leg as he moved to the bed with Sakura under him.
He didn't care if she was the Queen of Sound or Princess of Konoha, or that she was married to Tobi. He loved her unconditionally and that's all that matters.
Deidara pulled away as he went to catch his breath. "Sakura…"
Sakura slowly opened her eyes. "Yes…?"
"You told me before that when I find the person I love, give this to her, hmm" Deidara said as he pulled out a red rose. Sakura's eyes widened as she took the flower.
"You...love me?" Sakura slowly said.
"No" Deidara said. "I'm in love with you. There's a difference. I can say I love you to anyone, but not really be 'in love. When you say you're in love, you really mean it'"
"Deidara…"
"So-"Deidara was cut off when Sakura pressed her lips on his.
"I'm in love with you too" Sakura said as she kissed him again. Deidara closed his eyes as he lied on top of Sakura and kissed her.
Under the sounds of fireworks and music, the two slowly and tenderly made love. Unknown to them, a pair of eyes watched them from the crack of the door. The person's lips formed a wicked grin.
"Caught you right in the act Sakura-sama…" the person whispered to herself as she walked off humming.
XxXxXxX
The next morning, Deidara woke up happily as he stretched. The thick canopy surrounded them, so no one could see them if someone walked into the room. As Deidara propped himself up with his elbows, he rubbed his right eye as he yawned. He looked to his left side to see Sakura still sleeping. It was quiet as he could hear the birds happily cheering outside.
He probably had to go back to the group. They must have realized his absence and must have realized where he went. His clothes were on the floor and he was too lazy to pick it up. What was the rush? He had a beautiful g he loved right next to him sleeping.
Deidara could hear Sakura beginning to wake up. Deidara smiled as he resting on his left side. His elbow was holding him up. With his right hand, he played with a couple strands of hair. Sakura slowly opened her eyes to see Deidara smiling at him.
"Good morning" Sakura murmured as she stared at him with her large green eyes.
Deidara kissed her lightly on the lips. "Good morning to you too, hmm"
"That kiss was real" Sakura said as she touched her lips. "So last night wasn't a magical, vivid, sensory dream"
Deidara laughed as he poked her on the head. "You're weird. Are you always like this in the morning, hmm?"
Sakura shook her head and smiled. "But that's why you love me"
The two were about to kiss again as they heard the doors of her room open. Sakura's eyes widened when she heard her ladies in waiting open the door.
"Sakura-chan, are you awake?" Temari's voice called out.
"Our clothes!" The two whispered loudly as they immediately grabbed their clothes from the floor. Sakura quickly put on her robes as Deidara tried to put on his clothes. Sakura could hear the canopy about to move. So Sakura did the best thing she could.
When the canopy was off, Temari and the others could see Sakura on her stomach as her thick blankets were over her.
"Sakura-sama, are you okay?" Hinata asked.
"I'm fine" was her muffled reply. Deidara hidden under her as he was placing butterfly kisses up to her mouth. "I want to sleep a little bit more"
"…Alright" Temari said. "We'll be back in an hour"
Deidara began to suck on her pulse as Sakura had to hold back a moan. "O-Okay".
"Do you want anything for breakfast?" That was Ino's voice.
"I…" Deidara began to nibble on her ear. Sakura was turning red. She was trying to stop both of them from getting caught and here he was…doing this! She wouldn't deny that she liked it, but wrong timing.
"Surprise me?" Sakura squeaked as Deidara began to do other stuff to her. The girls gave each other weird looks. Temari looked on the floor around the Queen's bed as she saw a bag of clay near the bed.
Temari blushed but smirked. "Let's leave the Queen alone now so she could sleep." Sakura heard the footsteps walk out of the room. She soon heard someone walked around the room as the canopy began to surround the bed.
"Don't be late later" Was all Temari said.
Deidara knew it meant for him. So Temari knew he was here. Talk about embarrassing.
"Huh? Late for what?" Sakura asked but Temari had already left. Sakura soon sighed as she glared at the man under her. "Are you out of your mind? I can't believe you did that while the girls were here! Did you want us to get caught?"
Deidara didn't say anything but smirked. "Want to finish off where we started, hmm?"
Sakura giggled. "You're so bad" She joked.
"But that's why you love me, hmm" Deidara said as he kissed her gently on the lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tight.
"Yeah, probably" Sakura teased as she rolled her eyes.
"You do love me right, hm?" Deidara asked. Sakura noticed the seriousness in his voice.
"Of course I do" Sakura said.
"Then leave Sound and come back with me to Konoha, where you belong, hm" Deidara said.
"I can't" Sakura said. "I can't leave these innocent people under Orochimaru's control. They look up to me for hope and future. I can't leave them…"
"That's why you created Jade Ace, right?" Deidara asked.
Sakura nodded. "It wouldn't look nice if the Queen of Sound was planning to go against her own kingdom. So I created my alter-ego, Jade Ace."
"Sorry…I ruined the mood, hm" Deidara said.
Sakura kissed his knuckles. "No. You're just worried about me" Sakura said with a smile. "You should go back to your friends. Don't want them worrying or thinking about things that are probably closer to the truth."
"What does it matter? Temari already knows we did something, hmm" Deidara said with a laugh. Sakura sighed. "Alright. Alright. I'll go to them. Don't mind if I sneak myself in here tonight?"
Sakura smiled. "No. I'll be waiting for you"
"See you later" Deidara said as he kissed Sakura once more. He put on his clothes and gathered his stuff. With a smile, he left the quarters.
Sakura knew she had to go and eat breakfast. She got up and took a bath at the main house. The maids assisted her as she got ready to eat. When she got there, she noticed a large group of people. On the throne was Tobi. He was early. Next to him were Kabuto and one of the new guards, Pein.
"I gathered everyone here to announce that King Orochimaru had died during our trip. Right when he was giving a speech about war on Konoha and Suna, an assassin came and killed right in the spot. He died seconds later. Now, I, Tobi…Madara Uchiha, will be from here on out King of Sound!" Tobi said.
Sakura's eyes widened. Uchiha. Why did that name sound familiar.
"Sakura-sama, this is your new bodyguard and friends, Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha" A woman with hazel eyes said. "They always wanted to meet you"
"Hello, I'm Sakura Haruno" A little girl said.
"I'm Itachi; this is my little brother Sasuke. You guys are the same age. It will be a pleasure to take care of you" The older man said.
"Hi, I'm Sasuke. We'll be best fwiends. I'll protect you prum anything, so you won't be hurt no more."
The little smiled. "fwank you"
"Those who oppose the new king will be killed in front of public eye as a warning and example to those who go against our new king" Kabuto said.
"From here on out, the kingdom of Sound will change for the best. We will start off by destroying the main person who will show as a challenge to me. The Jade Ace! I want him found and killed at the platform, in front of the village. Find the spies and kill them as well.
Sakura covered her mouth. Deidara, Temari, Sai, and the others were in trouble. She had to do something.
"Sakura-chan, I take it you heard everything" Tobi…no Madara said. Sakura narrowed her eyes. Her husband seemed to have changed. He seemed different…more malicious.
Sakura slowly nodded. She watched as Tobi walked up to her. "I'm so sorry for this tragedy. Don't worry. I'm here Sakura-chan. I love you"
"You love me…" Sakura whispered.
"Yeah, I love you"
"You told me before that when I find the person I love, give this to her, hmm" Deidara said as he pulled out a red rose. Sakura's eyes widened as she took the flower.
"You...love me?" Sakura slowly said.
"No" Deidara said. "I'm in love with you. There's a difference. I can say I love you to anyone, but not really be 'in love'. When you say you're in love, you really mean it'"
"I-I love you too" Sakura said. Tobi smiled as he placed a kiss on her lips. Sakura kissed back for a quick second then pulled away.
"I-I have a lot of things to do today, so I can't be with you right now" Sakura said not being able to look at him.
"It's fine. I came here without warning. At least be here with me at dinner" Tobi said.
"Of course" Sakura said with a bow as she left.
When Sakura left, Konan and Pein came up to Tobi and Kabuto and said "We some matters to discuss about the Queen's actions when you left. We were tipped by an anonymous person. Last night, the Queen was seen kissing another man, but it might have been the other way around. The man must have taken advantage of her since you left and she was alone. She said she had a hunch of who that person was, but she'll make sure find out who the man was for you"
"I see. So that's why she had a guilty look just now" Tobi said as he watched Sakura's retreating form. "Once you find out the man who had the guts to kiss my Sakura-chan, I want him burned at the stakes.
"Yes milord" Pein and Konan said as they bowed.
"And if the person ends up being the Jade Ace, I want him to have a public torture and death penalty with Sakura-chan front row and center." Pein and Konan felt a chill down their body. The way Tobi said that scared them.
"One more thing…" Kabuto said. "You were the one who killed Orochimaru-sama"
Tobi turned around and smirked. "He was taking too long to die and go along with his plans on destroying Konoha."
Unknown to them, Kankuro had heard the whole thing.
XxXxXxX
When Deidara arrived at the camp, he saw everyone staring at him, some were glaring at him, and others were smiling.
"Did you enjoy your night?" Kisame asked.
"I don't' know what you're talking about, hmm" Deidara said as he sat down next to Sasori.
"Where did you go last night?" Naruto asked."You never showed up at camp. I was worried that Orochimaru's men might have gotten their hands on you"
"Or the Princess might have" Itachi commented.
Deidara blushed.
"So my assumptions were right. You were with the Princess last night!" Kisame said. He soon went up to Kakashi. "Pay me what you owe me" He said with a grin.
"You guys made a bet, hmm?" Deidara asked.
"We had a feeling that the girl you were with was the Princess" Sasuke said glaring at him.
"Really?!" Naruto said.
Everyone looked at Naruto as if he just said he hated ramen.
"How'd you figure that out, hmm" Deidara asked.
"No woman here would be able to wear an expensive Kimono like the one" Shikamaru said.
"We would know" Sasuke and Itachi said together.
"Yeah, I was with the Princess last night. What of it?" Deidara asked.
"Do you realize that this affair you two are having might cause the destruction of Konoha and Suna?" Kakashi asked.
"This isn't an affair!" Deidara shouted as he stood up. His actions surprised everyone.
"Deidara-" Sasori began to say but his best friend cut him off.
"This may seem like an affair to you guys. But it's not! The love we have for one another is real, hmm" Deidara said as he pounded his fist against a tree. Leaves from the tree began to fall as Deidara removed his hand. There was a large dent.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you" Kakashi said. Deidara said nothing. "If you really love Sakura, I'll be okay with it. She's like a little sister to me if not a daughter. I'd rather have you two together than her being the Queen of Sound with Tobi."
"It's okay, hmm" Deidara said in a soft tone.
"Even though Sakura-chan doesn't remember us, I'll always think of her as a sister. You better protect her from Tobi and Orochimaru and bring her back to Konoha." Naruto said with a smile.
"I promise" Deidara said.
"Anyhoo, about the Jade Ace…" Shikamaru began to say.
"What about me?" A voice said.
Everyone looked to see Jade Ace smirking as he walked up to the group. Behind him were Temari, Ino, and Hinata. Deidara noticed that Sai wasn't in the group. So playing Jade Ace today was Sai.
"How was duty, ladies?" Kakashi asked.
"It was okay" Ino said. "Nothing much to do. The Princess was really tired for some reason when we woke her up for breakfast"
"Yeah, it was odd. Usually the Princess would be up and ready. So we decided to let her rest more. I wonder why she was so tired" Hinata asked.
"I have a really good guess why" Kisame said with a grin. Temari looked at Deidara and smirked.
"Really now?" Temari asked. "Care to tell us your theory?"
"The Princess was tired because she and De-"Deidara had punched Kisame hard in the gut.
Hinata didn't get it but Ino did. Her sky blue eyes widened with realization.
"YOU DEFLOWERED HER!" Ino screeched. "How dare you! When I get my hands on you, I'll-"
"EVERYONE!" Kankuro yelled as he came running up to everyone. He was sweating and out of breath.
"Kankuro, what happened?" Jade Ace asked and Temari asked at the same time.
"S-Sakura-chan…" Kankuro began to say. He was still trying to catch his breath.
"What about Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked as he grabbed Kankuro's shoulders.
"She is now the Queen of Sound. Tobi came back from h-his meeting early. O-Orochimaru was assassinated at the meeting. Tobi came back to tell everyone that he was now the new King of Sound. H-He was the one who killed Orochimaru." Kankuro said. He had forgotten hearing about the Queen's affairs.
"Sakura is in danger, hmm" Deidara said. "I say we just go and bomb the whole place up"
"And risk killing innocent people?" Shikamaru argued. "We'll just play it safe. If Tobi does something that shows he's planning to attack Konoha, that's when we attack. But we have to warn the villagers ahead of time."
"We just have to wait" Kakashi said. "Those who are soldiers have to watch carefully when around Tobi. Ladies, if worse comes to worse, expose yourselves and take Sakura out of here. Now, we just need Neji and Tenten to come back with Tsunade's orders."
