Chapter 13 – Stained Memories
hr
The Blizzard furiously blew along with the heated meeting within the Akatsuki hideout, on the very same day minutes after that meeting Itachi and Deidara met in the corridor.
"Itachi you jerk! Don't you know how much that will hurt…?" Deidara yelled as he advanced near Itachi and punched him.
Itachi just stood there and accepted the furious blow from the Iwagakure ninja…He was still standing there, and Deidara was looking at him very furiously he was panting very slowly and Itachi held him by the neck and spat at his cloak.
"You still don't understand do you? You heartless little- - -" Deidara was cut off
"You don't need to finish that sentence I'm not completely that heartless, you know that I was doing that because she was already hurt."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"I don't want her to know what I feel."
Deidara looked at Itachi's eyes and for once saw the furious Magenkyou Sharingan fade away and his look change into something that can never be explained in words or actions.

They we're about to enter the Akatsuki hideout when Itachi felt a piercing pain from his sides.
"I told you, you shouldn't strain yourself too hard." Ino said full of concern.
"Don't concern yourself with me." Itachi said bluntly.
"I still haven't forgiven you, you know." Ino said as she looked the other way around.
"You should have just left me alone."
"Yeah I should have done that." Ino thought as she just stared at the snow and clenched her fist.
"Why didn't you just leave me behind after healing me?" Itachi said not looking at her.
Ino fell silent, while she just followed behind Itachi as they entered the hideout. As they closed the door behind them the Akatsuki leader appeared. He looked really furious.
"Itachi I have to talk to you...we have to talk about the girl." The Leader said coolly.
"Girl?" Ino thought in disbelief.
--
The leader was giving Ino emotionless stares, as if he was reading her like an open book. He was talking to Itachi on his table while she just stayed by the door way…but what are they talking about? She couldn't hear them on where she's standing on.
"Itachi you we're supposed to bring me the bait for the Kyuubi. Do you know how much, of a failure this mission is?" The leader said as he advanced near Itachi who was kneeling down to pay his respect. He was having second thoughts of replying but then just held back and let the leader kick him.
"Don't do that!" Ino shouted as she saw how Itachi was being treated.
"You better shut your mouth you insolent pest." The leader said really pissed.
"My lord we also failed in assassinating Orochimaru…" Kisame said, Kisame and the others just arrived after escaping from the Konoha ANBU.
"And you have to let go of the traitor?" The leader said furiously.
"I knew it the genjutsu I placed on Kabuto must be discovered by Orochimaru already." Sasori said
"Or maybe it lost it's efficiency. Oh boy" Deidara followed.
"All because Deidara wasn't doing his job properly." Itachi said while looking at the floor.
"Oh excuse me Itachi…you are the one who was not doing his job, while me I had to dispose of those ANBU while you had to settle a score with your snot nosed little brother." Deidara said in a who-do-you-think-you-are-blaming- - manner
"But you're showing weakness you should know that." Itachi still looking at the floor since he was still bowing.
"Well if we got the wrong person we're better off killing her, than making her miserable days waiting for someone to rescue her when we all know there's nobody there to help her." Kisame suggested as grinned in an evil manner.
"Brilliant deduction Kisame I was thinking of the same thing." Sasori said initially agreeing.
"Why don't you just leave me alone and let me live." Ino said infuriated already.
"Well I was thinking the Samehada could taste a woman's blood like yours." Kisame said in a blood-thirsty-manner.
"Or maybe we could just torture her slowly until somebody from that weak village comes for her, and if nobody comes we will desecrate her pathetic corpse." The leader said while he advanced and stood in front of Ino cupping her cheeks and squishing them making her twitch, without warning she slapped him across his face.
"Oh…this weak pathetic saucy little harlot has the guts to do that." The leader insulted.
"Boss you shouldn't do that." Deidara said as he try to be emotionless.
"Why not?" The leader said with a smug look on his face.
"It was stated in the rule book that we must respect, the hostage even at times that it would demand great anger towards both sides." Deidara said matter-of-factly tone
"Your still a newbie…no doubt about" Itachi said mockingly
"Shut the hell up all of you! You don't know me well!" Ino said furiously while she attempted to punch the leader in the face but sadly, he managed to catch her wrist.
"For somebody like you you're still no match for me." He said while he slowly crushed Ino's wrist, Ino slowly groaned as she received the slow crushing pain. Kisame chuckled at the sight of it.
"The next time you fail I won't accept apologies or excuses and the next time you fail I'll kill this woman in front of you, and you know who you are." The leader said as he finished staring at Ino.
"Meeting adjourned." Itachi said, as the leader, Sasori, Kisame and Itachi left the room. Leaving only Deidara and Ino.
"You didn't need to defend me." Ino said really irritated.
"I don't know why I had to defend but would you at least thank me?"
"Sorry I thought all members of Akatsuki are supposed to be heartless and emotionless."
"I'm different right now and it's all because of you."
"Is this a way for you get happiness by confusing a person who already is suffering too much, too much time with psychopaths."
"I am not a psychopath at the moment I am being who I am right now…Deidara I am not the person who doesn't care at the moment being sarcastic just to confuse the enemy I am being who I really am."
"Shut up and stop making me feel better because honestly you're making me feel worse."
"Look I'm trying to stick with and back up your butt, and I can't really say it straight forward but…"
"That's it Deidara if you really want me gone, screw up on your Orochimaru mission and just let your boss kill me, besides that's what you guys want, and I should let you know that your plan on kidnapping Sakura wouldn't work."
"You just don't understand how I feel for you."
"Excuse me but for a guy like you you're technically losing it, or maybe I'm being delusional already."
"Ino you don't really get it do you?"
"You know stop you better just get going because I really don't know how I feel about you!"
"You do understand now what I meant about my emotion?"
"NO! WHAT I FEEL RIGHT NOW IS THAT I WANT TO KILL YOU OR I JUST WANT TO LOSE IT OR MAYBE I'M GETTING THE PYSCOPATH DIESES ALREADY."
Just then Deidara hugged Ino, around his arm really close and tight…
"Don't you feel it moving?"
"Deidara…" Ino mumbled and Deidara gave her a glimpse. Just then Ino punched Deidara with her injured arm.
"Don't make me choose… you bastard…now leave me alone…" She then pushed him back and closed the door in his face with a strong thud.

Deidara stood up and saw Itachi leaning on the wall which happens to be a meter away from the room and the conflict begun…
