With Aiko
"Hiss, owie..." Aiko shoved a medium sized rock off her stomach, one of her wrists after sliding the other out of under one, and stood back on her feet, cracking her fingers and pulling her arms to feel a good pop in them. "Dang, what the hell caused that explosion? Hopefully it ain't Deidara's doing..." Aiko mumbled to herself having a small stress mark on her head. "Well, forget about that. My first priority is to get out of here and find that Youkia Ring..." Aiko said to herself, rubbing her cold hands together.
After having that large fall from the ledge where Aiko escaped the villagers, she ended up hitting ground that had shallow water upon it, freaking Aiko out (She doesn't know how to swim -.-). She then saw a tunnel on the rocky side after she found ground that was suitable for standing on without freaking out about drowning. But when walking inside it for ten minute stops, the whole place suddenly rumbled and large rocks fell from the ceiling above her. She luckily survived but some rocks took and impact on her wrists and stomach, but thankfully that was all that hit her. Due to the explosion unseen to Aiko, it blocked the entrance so she couldn't get out of here if all it held was a dead end.
'No turning back now, I need to keep moving forward...' Aiko thought to herself, forcing her cold feet to move forward. There was torches attached to the sides of the tunnel, some survived from the explosion but very little. Aiko took one out of its holder and carried it in front of her so she could see what beheld before her...just rocks in her way that she could squeeze through, jump, or duck under. "Ah -beep-" Aiko said to herself when a pile of rocks blocked her way, she set the torch down, avoiding any puddles that could lit it off fire. "Okay, focus your chakra..." Aiko said while slamming her knuckles to come in contact with her open palm on her other hand, she let out a deep breath.
"HYAH!" she yelled, drawing her arm back and slamming her knuckles, that were glowing with blue chakra , into the piles of rock in front of her. The rocks exploded on the other side, flying away from Aiko and landing what was behind them or become stuck on the sides. "Hwoo..." Aiko said, shaking her hand that punched the pile of rocks. She continued this if any more piles, or large enormous rocks came in her way, crashing them further or out of her way into the tunnel. "Huff, man how deep does this tunnel go!?" she asked, getting a little tired of these never ending obstacles. She threw a punch at another large rock making it break and be scattered. "Hmm?" she said when seeing another pathway on the side of the tunnel.
"I'll leave this here if this just leads to a dead end..." Aiko said, leaving the torch at the entrance of the pathway and continued her way down the destroyed tunnel she was on. "GOD DAMMIT!" she yelled, putting all her anger into the punch she sent at a pile of more rocks. They crumbled and was out of her way now... Only showing more piles of rock not far from her. "Geezus, I'm getting sick and tired of this!" Aiko said, putting her head down, a palm on her forehead and a hand on her hip with a stress mark on her head. She raised her head back up to the view of the piles of rock. "Huh?" she said, walking a little closer to the pile, there was blond hair seen underneath a large boulder and a part of a black cloth along with it.
"DEIDARA!?" Aiko yelled, running to the pile of rocks. She uses nearly all of her chakra to lift up the boudler, that was covering/crushing her partner, and throw it far behind her (not blocking her way back). "Deidara!? Deidara answer me!" Aiko yelled, getting on top of some of the smaller rocks that was underneath Deidara but made it a higher level to Aiko (At least not that high). "Rghh... Dammit...!" Aiko grunted when pushing another boulder off his leg, hoping to not break or damage any bones in his leg. "Hahh..." she panted when pushing the boulder completely off Deidara's leg, resting her forearm on it's side (from using too much chakra).
"C'mon Deidara talk to me!" She yelled, kneeling next to him, shaking him violently by the arms. "Wake UP!" she screamed, slamming him down, causing his head to hit the rock underneath him harshly and roll his head to the side subconsciously. "Ah! Shit...!" Aiko said, bringing a clenched fist to her mouth. She covered her face with her hands being silent for a couple minutes but then snapped out of it.
She picked up Deidara piggy-back style, after positioning him, and carried him away from the place he was before. "Don't die on me you bastard, I can't do this alone.." Aiko mumbled while hanging her head low (The water that was drowning Deidara in the previous chapter was drained on the other side of the piles of rock if you were just wondering).
She found the torch nearly going out due to a puddle, slowly easing to the flame, and went through the new pathway leaving the torch behind. 'I wish Nyoko was here right now so he could heal Deidara's injuries...' right after Aiko's thought ended she halt in her tracks. Her memories of being in Squad 4 flooded her mind, she shook her head 'Snap out of it...!' she scolded herself but she couldn't stop the tears from blurring her image and fly when she shook her head. She just let out a deep breath and continued to walk forward, tears rolling down her cheeks when the familiar memories corrupted her mind.
"Argh... It's so dark..." Aiko said aloud as she squinted her eyes to get a better view of the dark surroundings around her. "AH!" she screamed when she stepped a foot forward and found herself fall off a ledge she was once on. "OW!" she yelled when she did a somewhat summer-sault forward, losing hold of Deidara and hit her head protector on a rock when she rolled back up. "Ow ow ow..." Aiko groaned while holding her slightly dented head protector (pain was sent right to her forehead). She heard a groan, not come from her, she turned around to see Deidara slightly move. "Deidara!?" she called and ran to his figure, slightly slipping on a slick rock but quickly regained balance.
"Ahh, my head hmm..." Deidara groaned as he grasped the back of his head while slightly sitting up. "Thank God you're up..." Aiko said, crouching next to him when she could see him clearly now. "Huh? Aiko..." Deidara said, turning his view to her, she forced a toothy grin "Hey" she said having the grin still on. "Where...WHERE THE HELL ARE WE HMM!?" Deidara shouted, trying to get a look around but his body reacted in pain when he tried to turn his upper body to the sides. Aiko closed her eyes and had a stress mark visible while she stuck a finger in her ear, trying to aid her injured-from-Deidaras-yell ear drum. "Shut it you idiot! God only knows if there's someone else around in this underground place. We need to keep quiet!" Aiko said, in a harsh whisper and the stress mark still visible.
"Well you shouldn't have dragged us down here! It's all your damn fault hmm!!" Deidara replied, sounding very pissed." HEY! I saved you from being crushed by huge rocks after escaping some villagers myself! So don't go spitting about it's all my fault!" she yelled with the stress mark growing bigger. Deidara growled while turning his head away from Aiko making her fist bawl up tighter. "Anyway... We can't stay here for too long, we need to get out of here" Aiko said, holding in her anger. She rose to her feet, "Can you stand up?" she asked the scowling Deidara. "Oh course I can hm...-Argh!" Deidara's sentence was cut off short when he failed to stand up, feeling pain sweep onto one of his legs that was hit by one of those boulders before.
Aiko let out a mushroom cloud sigh and bent down to Deidara, getting a hold of one of his arms and putting it over her shoulders while having a grip on his wrist. She forced Deidara to his feet, making him grit a sound of pain inside, "Let's go..." Aiko said, moving forward and dragging Deidara along who had an angered look on his face.
Hours they walked and they still couldn't get out of the underground tunnel/place, Aiko's eye's slightly widened when she heard something fall and made a small 'sploosh' in water. She turned her head to the sound seeing ripples form on a large body of water that was unseen to them before. "Let's rest here..." Aiko said releasing Deidara's arm from her shoulders and walked to the water. Deidara immediately sat on his butt, not wanting to feel any pain be shot up in his leg if he continued standing. He was pissed beyond words, being so useless and letting a girl help him even to walk,it made Deidara sick. "Uh..." he said when he heard his stomach growl, he blushed a bit.
'Fine time to be making sounds you stupid stomach...' Deidara thought with a slight glare, he crawled his way to the water. Aiko knelt down by the bank of the water, scooping her hands in it and drinking her handful. 'It tastes so pure...but I'm starting to feel strange...' Aiko thought, gulping the last of her handful, "Hopefully we'll get out of here soon or else we'll starve to death hmm" Deidara said, now some-what next to Aiko making her slightly jump, not noticing he was there. "Quit saying things like that, we're gonna get out of here. I hate it when someone just pulls out negative ideas out of their motuh" Aiko replied, glaring at the water.
Something was wrong, had her voice deepened? "-Glug-Glug-Glug Wow, this water's extremely fresh hmm" Deidara said aloud after getting two handfuls of the water. 'Wh-What!?' Aiko had a very confused look on her face, was she hearing things!? 'I could've sworn his voice was-' "OK breaks over, let's-" Deidara cut Aiko's thought off but his own got caught off when the pain shot up in his leg (He stood up) causing him to slip and fall in the water. "Ack! Deidara!!" Aiko yelled, about to step in the water but her fear struck her and forbid her to move any closer.
Bubbles could be seen on the water and soon enough Deidara burst above it, water covering his waist down. "Damn! It's deep down there! Why didn't you dive in!? I could've drown due to my leg! Do you have any idea-" Deidara kept rambling about but Aiko wasn't even paying attention. She just had her eyes humongous at the sight of Deidara. "D... Deidara..." Aiko said, cutting off his ranting. "What!?" he replied. Aiko pointed to his chest with a shudder run up her body. He looked down... He saw-
"OMFG I HAVE BOOBS!!1" Deidara screamed hugging himself, hoping what he saw wasn't really there. "How could-?" "I-Is that MY voice...!? WHY DO I HAVE A HIGH PITCHED VOICE!? WHAT THE -beep- IS GOING ON!?" Deidara screamed, splashing around. "WILL YOU SHUT UP!?" Aiko screamed at Deidara who immediately shutted up. "It's amazing...yet weird." Aiko began while dipping her hand in the pure liquid. "This water must have the ability to change the gender of anyone who drinks or dives into it...amazing" Aiko said, not taking her eyes off of the liquid escaping through her fingers on her hand.
"AMAZING!? I CALL THIS A -beep-ED UP POOL OF TRANSSEXUAL LIQUID HMM!!1" Deidara yelled in his girly voice once again (Think of Ino's if you can't think of his female voice e.e). "Just shut up-!" "I'll shut up when I feel like it bitch!! Not only does this scare the crap out of me, but also when or HOW do I change back hmm!?" Deidara yelled as he swam back to the bank. "How am I suppose to know!?" Aiko yelled when Deidara got back on dry land. "Well, we'll find out soon enough... BY DOING THIS!" Deidara said calmly with a evil smirk on his lips at first, then he shoved Aiko into the water causing another big -sploosh- to appear in the water.
"Ack! Hey what was that for!?" Aiko yelled... Now having a deep voice, "Ha! Now you're the opposite gender, we're even!" Deidara said grinning evilly while crossing his arms. "You mother -beep-er!!" Aiko yelled, splashing Deidara harshly, Deidara reacted to kicking/splashing Aiko in the face... Thus the splash fight continued.
Aiko sat on solid ground with a pissed off expression with her... His... Its knees up with her/his/its arms wrapped on top of them. Deidara was busy wringing his/her/its cloak out until it had no more water soaked in it (He wasn't wearing it right now). Aiko looked up, Deidara's back was facing her from where Deidara stood. He would pass for a gorgeous girl, he didn't look that different despite the boobs and curvy figure he now had. Deidara glanced at her/him/it "What?" he/she/it asked in an annoyed tone with a slight glare. "Uh, nothing" Aiko responded, looking at something else now. Her voice bugged her... it was just unfamiliar to her (Umm... uh think of... Shino! Yeah Shino's voice for her voice! 8D) Hopefully this water infection would go away anytime soon...
"Okay, we're done resting. Let's get a move on hmm" Deidara said as he/she walked up to Aiko, his/her cloak over his/her shoulder while his/her fingers kept a hold on it. "Are you sure that's a good idea?Going out like... This?" Aiko said in disgust looking down THERE on her having a shudder pass her. "Look boy or girl, we still have to get the Youkia Ring so we can get the hell out of here" Deidara responded with a slight glare. Aiko sighed and arose to her/his feet, "Oh my God... How do you guys DEAL with this thing down here!?" Aiko said with squinted eyes upon her disgusted face expression, hands covering THAT.
"Long story, now let's get going hmm!" Deidara replied, walking forward to whatever this underground tunnel lead to with Aiko following.
It felt like hours since Deidara and Aiko had left the pool of 'transexual' water, Aiko, kept her/his eyes glued to the ground infront of her/him the whole time following Deidara. She/He raised her/his head up when she/he saw Deidara barge his/her forearm to... what seemed a wooden trap door on the ground above them. "Give me some help will ya hmm!?" Deidara yelled, trying to open the trap door with both of his/her hands. Aiko immediately went to help, trying to open the door with all of her/his might.
Finally, the trap door bursted open when both of the Akatsukis gave it one hard shove, Aiko climbed out of the hole first, then helped Deidara rise to the higher ground. "OMG AIR!" Deidara exclaimed and inhaled as much air as he/she could, as if getting high from it. Aiko let out a mushroom cloud then took a look around, they seemed to be in a forest... Probably not far from the village she/he presumed. Something caught her/his eye... It looked like a small, circular machine thing attached to the ground "What's that?" she/he asked themselves aloud and walked over to it.
"What's what?" Deidara asked, turning his/her head to Aiko who was walking away from him/her. Aiko bent down to the little machine, it had a few buttons on it that were glowing so they could be seen in the night time view (It's night right now to them). "Got any idea what this is?" Aiko asked, looking up to Deidara who was walking to the little machine as well and crotched next to it, across from Aiko. "Hmm..." Deidara replied, studying the little machine. He/She noticed that the little machine had thick wires coming from it and disappeared in the ground. Deidara had a thought struck him/her "Could it...?" he/she asked themselves, still staring at the machine. "What?" Aiko asked.
"This little machine could be the cause of not allowing anyone to use a jutsu besides him hmm!" Deidara said, looking at the machine then the wires and possibly where they lead to. "What do you mean?" Aiko asked in confusion, "You wouldn't know since you hardly use any jutsus, but when I tried to explode my clay bombs they would never explode. The guy responsible for all this mess told me something about 'this place not allowing any jutsus or chakra to activate through out this whole village'-" "What guy?" Aiko cut off Deidara's explanation. "I'll tell you later hmm, right now we have to destroy this sucker" Deidara said, rising to his/her feet now.
"But that doesn't make sense, I used chakra to give me strength to break through the piles of rocks in my way inside the tunnel..." Aiko said, staring at the machine then at Deidara. "Maybe the device didn't reach that far or deep around here... Anyway we need-" Deidara was cut off when he heard a laughter echo through the darkness of the forest. "What's wrong?... What was that?" Aiko asked while arising to her/his own feet then looking around, getting a little scared from the echoing laughter's that seemed to grow louder and closer to them. "Oh my GOD...hmm" Deidara said with black under his eyes when a familiar figure came into view, walking fast up to them.
"Uh...? Ha! Dolly! Dolly!" the 6 ft. villager exclaimed, waving his arms again, one of his hands missing due to Deidara's previous attack in the main part of the village. "... Dolly?" Aiko asked, looking at Deidara weird. "It's a long story!" Deidara yelled in Aiko's face with a huge stress mark. The villager laughed like a child once more as he ran up to Deidara, trying to grab a hold of him/her, both of the Akatsuki's jumped from opposite directions away from the villager dodging him grasp. "Ah!" Deidara yelled when he landed on a unstable log that rolled underneath him/her causing him/her to lose balance and fall flat on his/her butt. "Ack!" Diedara yelled when he saw the villager come charging at him/her, he/she quickly crawled away and regained balance on their feet but the villager suddenly grabbed a hold on his/her wrist and brought her into another EXTREMELY tight bear hug.
"Dolly even more pretty! Dolly even more pretty!" the villager exclaimed hugging Deidara with all his might. "Ahhhh! Let go of me you freak!!" Deidara cried out in pain and pounded the villagers shoulder and neck as hard as he/she could. But due to the fact he was a girl, his strength decreased at a large amount, "Let go of him-er-her... IT!" Aiko yelled, getting a thick piece of wood and crashing it on the 6 ft. villagers head. He cried in pain and let Deidara go, causing him/her to fall straight on their butt again. The villager started to grow angry and threw a punch at Aiko, she/he ducked to dodge which worked then she/he kicked the villager in the stomach, causing him to stumble backward.
"Deidara! Find some way to destroy the anti jutsu and chakra device! I'll take care of this weirdo!"
Sorry but I have to end it here! :) And I apologize if the story is hard to understand... I feel kind of out of it today XD... I"m sorry.
