Enslaved!

WARNING: Story contains graphic lemon, lime, and adult stuffs XD. Oooohhhh, that's right, BEWARE!!! The plotline and characters are also kind of insane, so this is very different from any of my other stories. All I can say is, I was trying to be as creative here as possible. Don't kill me!

Disclaimer: (insert random statement of disclaimentinationishing here) In other words, I don't own the Naruto series! Masashi Kishimoto does.

Chapter 26:

The team from Konoha that had been sent to deal with the disaaster had never imagined what they would see there. Naruto, Chouji, and Shikamaru had all volunteered to go. They didn't have a captain, but Shikamaru was appointed team leader for this mission. They'd been sent to protect Suna from any enemies that might find out their scrolls had been taken.

But they didn't expect to see Akatsuki there. They were shocked when they noticed Sakura, Ino, and Sasuke had all joined. Of their own free will, it seemed. The other two had tried to stop Naruto from going after Sakura and Sasuke. But he wouldn't listen.

The blonde boy had a whole big long speech planned out of what he wanted to say to try and persuade them. It shocked everyone when he came back with Sasuke in tow.

"Where's Sakura-chan?" Shikamaru had been worried about her ever since she'd disappeared with Sasuke.

"Don't worry," The younger Uchiha assured him. "She's in good hands. And she's there of her own free will, I didn't force her. I didn't even want her to come with me."

"You made the right choice by coming back..."

Shikamaru sounded kind of depressed, and no one dared to say anything about it.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ino was falling, twisting her lithe frame in the air, and trying to think of a way out of this mess. It was only a few mere seconds, but it felt like hours that she was suspended, waiting for her death. She knew it would come, any second now...

"Ah!" She let out a little squeak, as she made impact with... someone? A pair of steady arms held her. "Hidan-san?"

He smiled down at her. "Do you think you can stand?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine..." She was stunned. She was at a loss for words, as she found her footing, and he stepped back.

"Don't fucking worry about it. I was the only one that could get to you. Why did he fucking push you?"

"Deidara-kun... pushed me?"

"Well yeah I saw the whole fucking thing," He chased after some of the local civilians who were staring at them and scrambling for their lives. "Might wanna ask the fucker about it when you get a chance!" And then he was gone.

Ino was angry. And sad. But most of all she felt alone. She hadn't seen it coming. She felt so safe up there, soaring through the heavens with her love. Why did he do that? Deidara hadn't said one word, just shoved her off, and she fell. The thought filled her with dread.

'He did it deliberately.'

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Naruto was ordered to stay with Sasuke, to make sure he didn't try anything funny. Shikamaru and Chouji went to find Gaara to help sheild him from attacks. The Sand Village's defenses were down right now. And they were facing a drastic shortage of Sand Ninja.

"Everything okay?" Shikamaru asked the Kazekage.

Piercing blue-green eyes, set in a sea of black kohl, stared at them, regarding them for a long moment. "Yes. I'm not afraid. I can fight them."

"You shouldn't do that," Chouji walked over to the left side of him, where he stood his ground.

"Chouji's right."

"No," Gaara looked outside. He really wanted to go fight them. "I have a responsibility to protect Suna!"

A piercing scream was heard, and Shikamaru went to see what the commotion was about. It came from inside their house. He ran into the back to see Temari fighting off some of Deidara's clay spiders. She tried to blow them away with her fan, but it wasn't working. The creatures were not only too heavy, they were able to cling to anything they touched. One of them had blown up right beside her.

Shikamaru used his shadow possession jutsu to keep them where they were. This also stopped the creatures from exploding. Temari was able to escape, and she stopped behind Shikamaru.

"Thanks, I owe you one."

That didn't sound like her. Shikamaru could remember the girl that he had to fight during the Chuunin exams. They had fought, and in the end he would have won. She didn't stand a chance against his genius intellect. But something he had never had to nerve to tell anyone was that he threw the fight. It was true. He just didn't have the heart to finish off the pretty little blonde girl. She was so scared, he could read it in her eyes. That was why he had pretended to be out of chakra. It had ended in a draw, with neither of them being seriously injured. Everything had worked out for the best.

"I remember you," He stated, smiling happily once he had deactivated the clay bombs. "I fought you once."

She smiled back. "Chuunin exams, right?"

"Yeah. You almost had me too."

"You're alright for a Leaf-Nin. So why are you here? And why did you help me?" Temari was naturally suspicious of everyone. It was just her way.

"I was sent here on a mission from Konoha to help you and the Kazekage. We're just here to help. You'll be safe with me... Temari-san."

And it was true. She knew it was, because she felt safe with him. She always had, except that one time when they were fighting. Temari was glad he had spared her, even if she secretly knew that for whatever reason he had faked it.

'He remembered my name,' She thought.

Just like that, he had gotten over Ino. He knew she was here, he saw her with the blodne bomber guy. They looked so happy together, and he just knew they were a couple. So she was a traitor too. Just like Sasuke and Sakura. At least Sasuke had made the right decision, and come back.

A blast blew apart the building they were in. And just like that, Deidara had found Gaara. The remains of the building separated them from Chouji and the Kazekage.

"Let's get out of here!" Temari yelled, taking Shikamaru's hand. "We can't fight Akatsuki, let's go before something awful happens!"

"No. I was sent here to protect Gaara, and that's what I have to do."

She got angry when he protested. Here she was doing the guy a favor, and he was going to refuse her?! "I know a passage that will lead us underground. We can come back out when it's safe."

Not waiting for an answer, she pulled a fighting Shikamaru into a secret compartment under the floorboards.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It was over before he could blink. Chouji was blown to bits, and Gaara was picked up and taken away. The sand moved to protect him, and Deidara was forced to let go.

Gaara tried to fight, but he was already injured from fighting on a mission the day before. Though he was tired, he gave it his all. But in the end, Akatsuki still won. Some strange guy in an orange mask surprised him by using a Genjutsu on him. Then, a guy with red hair that looked suspiciously a lot like him, poisoned him. It wouldn't kill him, but now he and the demon within him were rendered paralyzed.

"Let's get him back to the fucking base before Pein finds out and starts bitching that we're not fucking back yet. That motherfucker knows every fucking thing that happens!"

They listened to Hidan, and they all headed back to the base. Tobi had been obnoxious, and disobeyed by running off to loot some shops. He'd gotten a lot of stuff, and it was hard to carry.

"Sempai!" He called to Deidara, who was securing the kazekage to the back of his clay bird. "Can sempai help Tobi carry this stuff? Tobi got a lot of it. Tobi is a good boy."

Hidan cringed. 'Fucking good boy my ASS!!!' But for once he kept his mouth shut.

"Fine, un." The blonde man rolled his eyes, and did as he had asked, piling all the stuff on.

Ino was hanging back with Sakura, away from Deidara. She was still upset, and she didn't know why he had pushed her! Sakura was being comforted by Itachi. She wasn't talking much, except to her friend.

"I can't believe he pushed you!" She said, perhaps a little too loud for Ino's liking.

"Be quiet. I'll talk to him about it later."

"Why not now?"

"I guess I just don't feel like thinking about it right now," She sighed, playing with a piece of her hair.

"Cheer up," Itachi said, placing an arm possessively around the pink-haired girl. "Both of you."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That night, Ino planned to talk to Deidara about what happened. Everyone else had gone to sleep, or at least they were in their tents.

"Damn it you two!" Hidan was cursing and yelling at Itachi and Sakura, who were being unusually loud tonight. "It's bad enough I have to fucking hear this shit when we're at the hideout! Shut the fuck up and go to fucking sleep!"

"Hidan-chan..." Tobi surprised him by using an honorific for once, even if it was the wrong one. "What does 'fuck' mean?"

"And you!" The priest turned on him. "Don't even try to act like you're fucking innocent! You rapist!"

Ino was sleeping alone. She hadn't spoken to Deidara since the incident in Suna, and he and Sasori had been charged with watching Gaara. They would have to hurry back to the hideout before the poison wore off.

Ironically, she was the first one to awake in the morning. No one else was awake yet, and she happened to see Tobi's stash of stolen goods. There were cloths in all different colors and textures, as well as some scrolls, lots of food, and other various items. She took some ramen noodles from there, and started making breakfast for everyone.

Before long, someone walked up behind her. "So did you fucking talk to the fag who did that to you yet?"

"Hidan-san... You scared me," She gasped. "I made breakfast for everyone."

"Something tells me you're avoiding the fucking question."

She just gave him a blank stare. Ino felt sad again. Would she ever be able to talk about it? She knew she should confront him about it. But at the same time, she felt afraid.

"Here, I'll ask the stupid motherfucker for you."

"No, wait!" She grabbed onto his arm, pulling him back. "Hidan-san, don't! I'll talk to him, but... I'd rather wait until we get back."

She didn't know the man that well, but from what she could tell, he was the type to rush in and do things his own way no matter what. There really was no stopping Hidan when he wanted to do something. She pleaded with her eyes for him not to go. The last thing Ino needed was interference.

Hidan stopped then, and grabbed a plate of food. He silently went back into the tent that he and Tobi shared. Ino knew she had to talk to Deidara, and fast.

"What's that?" Sakura pointed to a bowl of ramen that Ino had made.

"Oh, hey Sakura-chan. I didn't know you were up... I made ramen for everybody."

"Wow, thanks."

Itachi gave her a sideways glance. "Trying to avoid confrontation, ne?"

"What would make you think that?" The blonde girl batted her eyelashes cutely. "Well you can have it guys. I'm going back in my tent until we're ready to leave."

She didn't even get a bowl of it for herself. The poor girl had enough problems already, without having to worry about such trivial things as eating.

'Besides, ramen is fattening anyway...' She thought bitterfly, listening to everyone talking outside.

It sounded like everyone was gettign ready to leave. The only one still asleep was Tobi, but after Sasori threw cold water on him, he woke up. Ino sighed and packed her things. She didn't want to talk to or be around anyone. Why was this depressing her so much? Deep down Ino felt betrayed. The one she loved had thornw her to her death. She had a right to be mad, yet still she felt guilty somehow.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Finally, they had made it back to the Akatsuki base, and Gaara was just starting to wake up. Deidara took him straight inside to Pein. They were ordered to perform the ritual ceremony to remove the Jinchuuriki from the Kazekage's body.

It didn't take long, and once that was done, everyone could go back inside the lair. Kakuzu and Zetsu were back from their mission, which was successful, although they didn't tell anyone what exactly it was.

Ino had finally summoned the courage to talk to Deidara, but she knew it wasn't going to be easy.

"Dei, we need to talk..."

"Finally, un!" He brought her inside his room for the first time since they'd been back. "I've been waiting for you to talk to me... so I could tell you what happened, yeah. I knew you were mad at me, un. That's why I didn't say anything to you yet."

For some reason that only made her feel more angry with him, but for now she let it go. "I just wanted to know why you pushed me."

"You were in danger. I couldn't let you stay with me through the fight with Gaara, un. You should know that, Ino-chan."

"WHAT?!" The whole Akatsuki base probably heard her. "You could have killed me!!!! All you had to do was tell me, and I would have let you handle it. But he couldn't hurt me anyway. You forget, I'm a shinobi too! But who gives a damn about me?! After all, I'm just a 'slave girl'!"

"Ino, I... I'm sorry, un." He tried to comfort her, but she shoved him away.

"Yeah whatever."

"Whatever, yeah!"

His uncaring attitude only made the girl madder. "Not only do you look just like my Dad, you sound just like him too!" This was the first time she had admitted what had really been bothering her all along. He and her father did bear a striking resemblance to one another. It had been secretly bothering her for a while now.

Deidara had no idea what to say, so she continued.

"And you're so clueless about that fucking puppet's feelings for you! He likes you, you baka! And not in a platonic way either! You can just forget about us. You obviously never cared anyway. For all I know, you're sleeping with him behind my back, too. You were probably planning to kill me!"

"Ino, it's not like that, un. Sasori-san has... feelings for me, yeah? Why didn't someone tell me?"

"Duh! Because it's obvious! Oh, I can't believe you! Have a nice life, idiot."

She slammed the door, and hurried to her own room. Ino needed to be alone for a while.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A/N: Well another chapter down! Too much drama... I didn't plan for them to break up originally, but let's face it- it was getting kind of boring with all the couples all cutesy and together-ish. So now we have more fun! The plot gets a little more dense over the next few chapters, so don't forget to review and comment! Was that a good breakup scene? B/c I am starting to doubt it... I just don't know what they should say to each other. Oh well I got through it.
