Rose: I really like this fic…Does anyone think that I've spent too many chapters at the Akatsuki? If so just tell me! Thanks.
Disclaimer: I only own the plot, thanks!
"There's a Festival in the town this weekend, un" I looked over at Deidara, he was leaning against the wall, his hands grasping his knees and his teeth were clenched as his eyes board into me "and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me"
I folded the towel I'd been using to dry my hair and rested it on the chest of drawers "that sounds like fun" I stated, I was still mad at him for spying on me. Who knows how many sketches he's done…
"Good, un" I could tell that he too was annoyed, probably because I'd caught him "the Monday after I leave with Sasori for a mission" I shrugged, he'd been on missions before, usually he left without a moments notice "I'll be back after a week, un" and returned without a moments notice "so don't try to escape!" he glared at me and I snorted,
"No offence Deidara. But I've never tried to escape the entire time I've been here. I'm not stupid!"
"No. And that's what I'm worried about, un, to be an Anbu captain you have to know how to plan your attacks…" he left the sentence hanging and I crossed my arms,
"Like I said, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going to attempt to escape because I know I wouldn't stand a snowman's chance in hell!"
"Good, un" the blond repeated, still glaring at me, we locked gazes for a moment before I cast mine downwards,
"What crawled up your ass?" I mumbled,
"Nothing" he replied before grumbling something that sounded a lot like "but I'd like to crawl up yours" I ignored his comment and grabbed his artist's broom to clear up the clay particles around the statue "what are you so upset about? Un" I could almost hear his smirk, I gripped the broom handle tightly,
"Oh nothing" I chirped, still sweeping,
"Are you still miffed about the spider? Un"
"What do you think?" I snapped, finished with the sweeping I leaned on the broom and glared at Deidara "you complain about getting erections all the time but did you ever think that not spying on me in the bath would help?"
His grip on his knee tightened slightly and he breathed out a hissing sigh "God you look so appealing right now, un"
I threw my arms up in defeat "for fucks sake" Deidara clicked his tongue at my choice of words "oh shut up!" I batted him with the broom before returning it to its original position by the statue "you swear all the time so I'm going to as-well, I'll stop when you do!"
"Fine then, un. We'll make a deal" I looked back at his grinning face "if you can go longer than me without swearing I'll stop…With my perverted behaviour and you can swear whenever you want, un" I crossed my arms "but if you lose, un-"
"Which won't happen" I mumbled,
"Then I get that beautiful body of yours when-" I made a chocking noise in the back of my throat, cutting him off, he grinned and licked his lips, there was silence as Deidara's gaze wandered over me continuously, I shivered as a breeze blew in from the window, I decided to start a new conversation. Instantly pausing any thoughts the blond had about me…Typically I picked the worst subject…
"How many sketches have you got of me?" I chewed my thumbnail before leaning over to close the window,
"I dunno, un. I haven't kept most of them"
"I don't mean the ones where I posed willingly;I mean the ones where I was in the bath. How many do you have?" I glanced back at him as he flicked through the sketchbook,
"Sixty-two, un"
My jaw dropped "what? S…Sixty-Two?"
"Yeah, un. What to see?"
I clapped my hands over my mouth in a mixture of shock and horror. Sixty-Two nude pictures of me? I stalked over to him and reached for the sketchbook but he jerked his hand out the way and patted the spot next to him, his apparent arousal and anger from before gone. I gulped silently before crawling onto the bed to sit next to him, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him, all we were missing were two children playing in-front of a fireplace and a dog. I mentally shivered at the thought.
I took the book from the blond and lay it across my lap; taking a deep breath I opened it to the front page, I bit my lip and Deidara sniggered quietly into my ear "you look good, un"
As I turned the pages I became more and more used to the pictures in-front of me, most of the where of me in the bath, although one was of me with my robe just hanging off my shoulders as I un-dressed, and another was me while I was asleep.
The last one was of my upper body, my mouth was parted and my eyes lidded. It took me a moment to realise that it was me when I almost had sex with Deidara;
I began to count the blank pages "six" I stated,
"What? Un"
"You have six blank pages…Am I right to assume that you're going to, attempt, to continue spying on me?"
"Nah. You've figured it out, un. I'll find something about you to fill those pages"
"Great…" I sighed; I flinched when Deidara pressed his lips to my neck before gently taking the book from my hands, tossing it somewhere on the other side of room, before caressing them gently with his own, the tongues flicking out every so often. I stretched out of his reach and quickly leapt to my feet, the blond fell flat on the bed with a grunt,
He pulled his face out of the pillows and glared lightly at me, I giggled at his expression, covering my mouth with his hands, I yelped when he appeared in-front of me, backing me into a wall and pressing his lips to mine.
"So what is this Festival for?" I asked, glancing up at Deidara as he gripped my hand and steered me through the crowds, I stumbled slightly and jogged to catch up with him, pulling my coat tighter around me as I did,
Because it was colder than usual I'd decided to wear a longer dress with boots and a coat that reminded me of the ones Hinata used to wear when we were Genin,
"It's the Winter Festival, un"
We paused in-front of a stall selling trinkets and hand made jewellery; I brushed my hand over them, taking in their beauty and careful details,
"They're all hand made" the man chuckled "would the young lady care to try them on?"
"No not really" I declined politely "I'm not really much of a jewellery wearer" Tobi bounced up next to me,
"Ohhhhh!" he reached over and picked up one of the necklaces "pretty! Doesn't Deidara's Petal think it's pretty?" I smiled and nodded,
"Yeah it is" Deidara was standing next to me looking incredibly bored, I tapped him on the shoulder "you okay?" he grunted, I shrugged and moved further down the table with Tobi, moving from necklaces to bracelets and rings, the man selling the trinkets turned and began to chat to Deidara, we paid no attention until the blond man emitted a low growl, Tobi and I looked up in shock, the man looked pale and Deidara's hands were inching themselves towards his clay pouches,
"Uh…Tobi thinks he and Deidara's Petal should move away" I nodded in agreement,
"Quickly, move, move!" I pushed the masked man further down the road, away from the seething Deidara, and took refuge on a bench, a few minutes later a small explosion sounded and a great puff of smoke rose into the air. Most of the crowd didn't bat an eyelid as they were used to it. Deidara broke out of the crowds, an annoyed look still plastered on his face, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to my feet, slipping a ring on my left ring finger "what the…?" I removed it and looked it over; it was a simple silver band with 'beautiful' written on the inside, I blushed lightly,
"It's real silver, un" he stated "I checked"
"Uh…Thank you" I whispered, I went to slip the ring back on but my arm locked up, Deidara wrapped his long fingers around my wrist and pushed forwards, gently forcing it back on before intertwining his fingers with my own, the mouth was kissing at my palm and forcing me to suppress a shudder. Tobi had disappeared back into the crowds.
"Let's see what else there is, un" he seemed to have forgotten all about his previous anger and I knew better than to push the subject,
He tugged on my arm lightly, jolting me back from my shock, and we continued walking forwards, checking out each of the stalls, Deidara spied Sasori looking at a puppet-seller's merchendice,
"Pitiful, not even art" the red-head mumbled, he dropped the wooden creation back on the table and turned to walk away when he saw us,
"Hey" I chirped, raising my right and free hand in greeting, the ex-Suna Nin nodded towards me before his eyes locked onto my left hand,
"Deidara may I speak with you privately?"
"Sure, un" Deidara released my hand and began to walk away with the red-head "stay there!"
"Yeah" I sighed, turning back to look at the puppets, the man behind the stall looked rather shaken, he was young with dusty blond hair and dark blue, almost black eyes, he didn't look any older than twenty-five "are you alright?" I reached over to him but he jerked awake and stepped away from me, eyes wide,
"They were…Akat…Akat…"
"Akatsuki?" I blinked and he nodded "you're not from around here are you?" he shook his head, his blond locks bouncing,
"Me and my family come here every year for the Festival…But I've never seen any of…Them around before"
I shrugged "you don't have to worry. As long as you don't pi…Make them mad then they won't bother you…Well, Hidan might…And Kakuzu…And Zetsu…And Itachi now that I think about it…But apart from that they're totally harmless!"
"You would say that. You're married to one of them" I choked on my own spit,
"W…What? I'm not married to-"
"Isn't that a wedding ring?" he pointed to the flash of silver on my hand, I quickly hid it behind my back,
"Uh…" I felt as though I'd been struck by lighting, that was why he'd bought it? That bastard! "n…No, it's a chastity ring…That man's my…Boyfriend?" I shrugged sheepishly,
"Really…Because he-"
"Petal…"I glanced back as Deidara and Sasori approached me,
"Bye" I smiled, the man nodded back at me but his eyes were locked onto Deidara, who was glaring fiercely at him, the ex-Rock Nin wrapped his arm around my hips and crushed my side next to his so hard that it hurt, I grunted and tried to push away from him as we walked down the street, but his grip was to tight,
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sasori whisper something into Deidara's ear, the blond scowled slightly and a moment later his hold on me loosened, I rubbed my aching hip.
"Let's get something to eat, un"
"Sasori?" I jabbed the puppet Nin on the shoulder,
"Yes?"
"If Deidara swears while you're on your mission…Could you tell me when you get back?"
Said blond was busy chasing Tobi up the hill back towards the base, the masked Nin had won a game of darts and a stuffed monkey, which he had paraded about in such a manor you'd have thought him a small child. Deidara had finally gotten fed up with his behaviour and threatened Tobi with death upon explosion if he said another word. Of course Tobi thought he was joking, and being Tobi, had told Deidara so.
The artist had, of course, snapped and backed up his threat. Tobi had thrust the monkey into my arms and sprinted away screaming. Deidara right behind him.
"Why?"
"We kind of have a bet…"
"I understand" he sighed,
"So…You'll do it?" I hugged the monkey tightly in anticipation,
"Very well"
"Thank you" I threw my arms around the puppet man's neck before breaking away and running the final stretch of path to the base.
"…And remember, un. Don't try to escape"
"I know" I snapped "you give me that speech every time. And I already told you, I know I wouldn't stand a chance so just drop it!" I crossed my arms as Deidara approached me,
He slipped his arm around my waist and pressed his lips tightly to mine, when I didn't respond, unwillingly or not, he pulled back "what's wrong? Un"
"Nothing. I just don't want you to be late" I twisted out of his grip and smirked cheekily over my shoulder at him "you know what Sasori's like"
He sighed "fine, un. But only because of Sasori…" he yanked the door open stiffly "by the way…Tobi's going to keep a tap on you, if you swear I'll hear about it, un"
"That's fair"
"What? Un"
"Sasori's gonna keep a tap on you!" I stalked up to him, making sure to give my hips an extra swing, his jaw dropped slightly and his nostrils flared. Indicating he liked what he saw "see you in a week" I whispered, tracing his jaw before turning away and walking down the hall.
There is no way I'm having sex with you bastard…I'm gonna make you crack. And if it takes the Kunoichi way to do it, then so be it!
Rose: Damn this is fun. I'm thinking of making Akina tease Deidara a bit more? What do you think?
Review please!
