"Hey Tsubaki…" Deidara said.
"Yeah?"
"Are you sure it was a good idea to get all friendly with the jinchuuriki, un? She's annoying as hell, especially since Tobi started talking to her, un." Deidara said.
Tobi was carrying the jinchuuriki on his back, and he had been talking to her nonstop.
"Yeah, and so I was all, like, hey sempai, why so mad, and he was all like, RAWR I'M GUNNA EAT YOUR FACE!!" Tobi said gleefully.
The shichibi giggled, "Dei-Dei sempai's so mean!" They both looked over at Deidara, "So mean, sempai~."
"She's right you know," Tobi commented.
"Shut up, Tobi! And quit telling her all those dumb stories, un!" Deidara scolded. "Besides, since when do I say rawr?"
"Rawr means I love you in dinosaur, sempai. Fuu-chan, did you know that?" Tobi asked.
"Yes, yes I did. How could you not?" the jinchuuriki replied. "Does that make Dei-chan a dumbass?"
Tobi nodded, "I believe it does. You are wise."
"Both of you SHUT UP or I'm going to blow you two half to hell, un!" Deidara shouted.
*What's that about Deidara-chan?*
"Oh, come on, sempai; you know we were only-," Tobi stopped mid-sentence.
"What is it, Tobi?" I asked.
A kunai flew past my face and sunk itself into a tree. I wiped my head around to see our attackers. Only one of them was out in the open. Her long, wavy, pale blue hair was up in a ponytail, and her skin was naturally very tan. She almost looked like a nymph.
"You three aren't moving any further!" the ninja, Natsumaru Kita. "I'm only going to ask you once, hand Fuu over, or else!"
Deidara scoffed at her, "Please, a bunch of little chunin don't stand a chance, un." He turned over to Tobi, "Get the jinchuuriki and get out of here, un."
"Right sempai!" Tobi jumped to the trees with the Shichibi. What happened next came so fast I'm not sure how it happened. A flurry of shuriken flew from the trees. They spun around Tobi, coiling him with wires. The shock made him drop Fuu, so she fell to the forest floor, along with Tobi.
Tobi struggled to free himself but it wasn't working, they were too tight. Kita smirked, "So, what was that about us not standing a chance, pretty boy?" Deidara gritted his teeth. "Emi; you know what to do!"
The blond one, Emi, came out of her hiding spot into the open. "Ninja Art, Mind Transfer Jutsu!" The girl's body went limp, and so did Tobi's.
Then Tobi stood up, the wires loosened. *What the hell is happening?* He walked over to Fuu and picked her up.
Kita went to pick up her limp partner, but…she didn't seem to be worried about her at all. "Emi, did you make it in safely?"
"Yeah, it was a complete success, Kita-chan!" Tobi responded, or the blond one in Tobi's body. She walked over and stood next to her teammate, "Now, you should just let us go or your partner dies," she said as she held a kunai to Tobi's throat. I looked over at Deidara, he wasn't fazed by this. Did he know something I didn't?
He threw a kunai at Kita, but she ducked under it. "I won't have to get any closer to kill you both, un. Tobi would've just been dead weight anyway, we can fight just fine with two of us, un."
"If he was such dead weight then you won't mind him to kill him yourself then!" Emi shouted. "Come on and fight us, you bast-," she stopped mid-sentence, like she was paralyzed or something. "What the-?"
Emi's eyes burned, she could feel one of them bleeding. She feel to her (or really his) knees, clutching her right eye. She turned to look at her actual body; its right eye was bleeding too! She tried to escape this body before anything else happened to it, but she couldn't move.
"E-Emi! Get out of there!!" Kita shouted at her. She could barely hear it though, she though she was going to die at any minute.
"I would've warned you to stay out, but you didn't really give me a chance to," a voice in her head told her. Her eyes widened, Emi couldn't see the forest or her teammates anymore. She was in some kind of lake, with the moon overhead. She looked down at her hands, they were her's not the one called Tobi's…They had blood on them.
"W-who are you?" she asked.
"Who am I?" the voice said, "I'm just an innocent puppet here to welcome you to hell."
A chill went down Emi's spine. She couldn't stop thinking, "I'm going to die; I'm gunna die; I'm gunna die!"
"Calm down; I'm not going to kill you. That would be too easy on you," he chuckled, "First I'll take your eyes, then your arm…"
Emi's heart was pounding out of her chest, "No! Please, don't! I'll tell you anything!" She was trying to escape, but couldn't do a thing.
"You don't have to tell me anything, because I already got what I wanted to know. And…" he paused, "I already taken your one of your eyes, little girl." The voice let out a laugh that pierced though the air, leaving Emi feeling nothing but pure despair.
She felt something smack her across the head, ripping her from that horrible place, back into her own body. "Emi, wake up!" she heard Kita shout.
That girl laid there shaking like she had just seen the reaper. I didn't know who was more shocked, us or them. Deidara looked every bit as confused as I was. I leaned over to him and whispered, "Do you have any idea what just happened?"
"Not at all; I say we just play along with it, un," he whispered back.
I nodded. This would give us an advantage.
"You stupid kids, don't you get it? You can't beat us with those methods. Just accept it, you won't be able win. If you leave now you two and your little traitor friend might live." I drew some kunai. "So what's your answer?"
"NEITHER ONE!" I turned around to see the short one, Hotaru coming at me. Before I could do anything, she punched me in the face, sending me to the ground. I had to be honest, she punched harder than I expected (which wasn't that much to begin with).
Tobi finally stood up, but it was almost like he had a bad hangover. "Tobi, give Tsubaki the jinchuuriki, un," Deidara ordered him, "Tsubaki, I'll take these bitches, un. We'll catch up to you when we're done, un."
Tobi tossed her to me. "Be careful Tsubaki-chan," Tobi told me.
I smiled at him, "You too, Tobi." I ran away with the girl. Hotaru tried to run after me, but Deidara set off an explosion behind me, blocking her way. I looked back, but I couldn't see Deidara because of the smoke.
I closed my eyes, "Be careful, Deidara-kun."
