I DO NOT own Naruto


"Hurry up, un, quit day dreaming..." Deidara called over his shoulder as they continued on.

Tegan snapped out of her deep thought and looked up. It had been a week since she had seen Madara last. Whatever secret he had to share with her got interrupted by Hidan who had barged into her room for the millionth time uninvited to inform her that he and Kakuzu had another collection to cash in. It had always been her job to tag along on these types of trips. Madara had been frustrated at the sudden interruption, but quickly kissing the girls forehead again, had promised he would be back soon. Tegan had been wondering what this secret was. Whatever it was it seemed serious and important. For some reason the way he said it held a heaviness that made her worry about what it was.

Deidara was several feet in front of her, looking back at her slightly annoyed. She jogged to catch up to him her Akatsuki cloak billowing behind her. She was never crazy about the big thing. It was hot and heavy and it took too much time to take off during a fight. The rest of the Akatsuki members had become efficient in fighting in their cloaks or ripping them off if need be. But in order for Tegan's jutsu's to work she needed to be able to move freely without any access fabric. That's why she treasured her leotards so much.

Deidara rolled his eyes at her when she caught up and scoffed. "Your acting like Tobi, you know that, day dreaming in the back. Only you're not a chatter box." He reached out to rustle her hair so it stuck out in every direction.

"Hey!" She whined, brushing her hair back into place.

He smirked and kept moving. He was wearing his cloak differently today. Today he was wearing it in a fashion that was similar to the way Itachi wore his. His arms were pulled in out of his sleeves so they dangled freely. The middle of his cloak was opened up so his chest was seen. In the center of his chest he alternated rubbing his reattached arms.

She looked at his stitched arms. "Do they hurt today?"

"No, un. I'm just thinking about those Leaf pests and that basterd Kazekage. I liked it better when he was dead."

Tegan raised an eyebrow. "We got what we wanted out of him...besides those Leaf guys has what's coming to them soon-"

"I want to be the one to take down that 9 tailed jinchuriki- not Leader-sama-"

"Un," Tegan made the sound of one of Deidara's famous scoffs to tease him, she hid a grin in the collar of her cloak.

Deidara shot her a glare.

"Shut up, little brat, un! This is the first time you've been out tailed- beast hunting without two babysitters, remember that! I've already brought in 2 beats, this will be my 3rd."

"This will be my 3rd too!" She protested. "But the first one you caught was all because Itachi and that sharingan of his. The second one you were with the undead duo. This one you might actually have to do some work," he reached out to mess her hair up again and she dunked under his reach.

"I can take down the 3tails all by myself." She grumbled crossing her arms over her chest. "It's a water creature, right? That's right up my alley."

Deidara grinned at her confidence. It had taken a long time to build her up to that point. When she first came to the Akatsuki she was silent or so formal. All the time she spent in his workshop, she would sit on her stool and listen to him. It took months for her to even start talking back more than just a few words. Then it took years before she moved off her stool closer to him. He thought her how to mold his detonation clay though she didn't care for it much. With all the extra space and open floor in his workshop she would practice dancing. Just like Sasori, the two would argue over which art form was the best. "Well, we'll see, kid."

She smiled up at him and they kept walking.

Deidara's mind was on a roll today. The 3 tails didn't concern him in the least. At lot had changed but the Akatsuki was climbing to the top. But he wanted to be the one who shined. He wanted to destroy that 9tailed twerp. Along with Orochimaru for what he had done to Tegan years ago. Though he had been unsuccessful in marking her with his curse mark, he and his underling had created scars on Tegan that still hadn't faded. All 180 of those deep gashes still were visible on Tegan's body. They were small now just thin white lines that she kept hidden but Deidara knew they were there and he hated them for creating them. Also the long lasting mental scar they left on her mind.

Rumors have traveled that Itachi's little brother Sasuke, had destroyed Orochimaru and was now on the hunt for Itachi. Deidara had never liked Itachi and that Sharingan of his and he couldn't care less if he was dead or not. But just like Orochimaru, Deidara wanted to be the one to do it. This Sasuke kid was going to pay for stealing his opportunity to kill Orochimaru and he definitely wasn't going to take his opportunity away for killing Itachi.


"Creepy, un," Deidara muttered as the two stood at the edge of a cliff that overlooked the lake, a hazy fog was hovering over the water. The bodies of two Leaf Village ANBU lay behind them.

Tegan shrugged looking at the grey, gloomy scene. "Looks like home..."

Deidara looked at her from the corner of his eye and then scoffed flipping his hair back over his shoulder. "Then this fog shouldn't slow you down at all. I think I'll sit back and you can do all the work." From the small pouch on his hip, Deidara pulled from clay and molded it in his hands creating his famous bird. Once it grew to size he jumped onto its back and took off into the air leaving the curly haired girl alone on the cliff.

Tegan sighed and unbuttoned her cloak letting it fall to the ground. Then she twisted her hair up into a knot on top of her head and leaped off the cliff. With her chakra focused at her feet it was easy for her to walk on the water's surface. Locating the 3tails was going to be almost impossible unless she wanted to go for a swim. But if she created a distraction on the surface, it might come up looking for a snack. Standing at the center of the lake, Tegan took a deep breath trying to focus all her energy. For the past several years she had been so focused on creating new dances and strengthening her combat skills with her new partners. It had been awhile since she focused a solo dance. But she had been working on a new dance for a couple weeks now. It was time to test its strength.

During training with her mother as a child whenever she fell out of a pose she needed to hold or couldn't handle another single second of kicking a thick tree stump, besides the beating that would earn her. The one good piece of advice that her mother told her was that the human body could hold anything for five seconds. With willpower and determination anything was possible for five seconds. The mind would give up before the body ever gave up that's what made people think things are impossible. That is what inspired this dance. Deidara watched from above crossing his arms over his chest.

Tegan closed her eyes as the music slowly trickled into her ears. The water underneath her slippers started to ripple and as if she were underneath the surface and as if the water was crystal clear, Tegan could see everything. Including the giant 3tailed beast who appeared to be asleep at the bottom of the lake. Slowly she lowered herself onto her knees, her head humbled to her chest slightly. Her head jerked to the right as if she had been slapped and then to the left. Small waves created in the water in the direction her head turned. She bent backwards placing her hands on the water surface and her legs kicked up into the air as she held a hollow back handstand. 5…4…3…2…1. Her feet touched the surface and she spun. Under the water the beast had woken up.

Deidara chuckled from the air. He made sure his masterpiece sored higher than her genjutsu range so that he could help if need be but this dance as powerful. The range was further than it had ever been and if he had been caught in it, he doubted he would have been able to pull himself out. The water moved to each of her moves as the story continued. A child beaten, all the poses she held shaky at first. The child grew becoming stronger finding comfort, each pose that she held for five seconds were seemingly impossible but strong and unwavering. Small waves formed from the water of the lake that became larger as each movement became more powerful. It didn't take long for the giant hidden in the lake to make its way to the surface. Tegan didn't even open her eyes as it did. Her leg lifted into the air by her head kicking up a jagged rock from the lake floor, stopping the beast from swallowing the small ninja whole.

Flowing through the dance Tegan moved in front of the monsters line of sight in front of its odd oyster shaped head. The music and dance pulled at the beasts' attention forcing it to lose focus for minutes at a time. The silvery blue haired girl smiled as the dance was nearing its end she reached into the pocket of her weapons pouch pulling out and turning her back to the beast. Dragging her pointed feet across lake she slowly walked away her hands at her sides. Deidara leaned forward in confusion as she dropped something small from her hands into the bottom of the lake.

The music ended and the monsters focus slowly came back. The blond haired ninja held his breath as Tegan continued to just walk calmly away. Just as Tegan reached the shore of the lake the 3tails started to charge.

"Tegan! -" Deidara shouted but was suddenly cut off as a massive explosion sent water shooting into the air. Deidara gritted his teeth and held his arms up to protect himself from the shockwave. His heart pounded with adrenaline of the blast but he looked around confused as to where it came from.

"I did it!" Tegan giggled from the lake shore as the 3tails unconscious shell floated to the surface of the lake as the water settled. She skipped forward to stand on the beasts oddly shaped shell. Putting her hands on her narrow hips she looked up at her shocked big brother.

The large white bird floated down closer to examine the stunned beast. Finally Deidara burst out laughing remembering the gift he had given her months ago. "Well, well, well, you finally listen to big brother, huh? My detonation clay is unstoppable!"

Tegan shrugged and pulled the rest of the small bag of clay from her pocket. "Yeah, maybe it comes in handy sometimes…But it was my genjutsu that slowed him and if I wanted to I could have beaten him without this!"

"Sure, kid, whatever you say, un" Deidara grinned down at his brat sister. He was impressed but he couldn't let her head swell too much.
