Bookworm: I do not own Naruto or the characters, I am simply an angelic writer sent by god herself to write stories for her subjects *grins*
Hidan: Che, there's several things wrong with that, Jashin, is a fucking MALE!
Bookworm: *throws script and clonks him aside the head* Shut it dumbass!
Ain't Life A Bitch?
Kiku-chan winced as she trailed after the puppeteer. Each movement gave her a jolt of pain through his body. 'Still totally worth it.' She thought, remembering Sasori's cute and innocent act earlier. She thanked Kami she had a strong immune system against poisons or else she'd be screaming in agony right now.
Her self-pitying was slowed to a halt as a familiar lollipop was spotted a few streets down. "Oji-san," She murmured, tilting her head to one side. "is that Tobi?"
The puppeteer blinked, before gazing in her general direction. "What's that idiot doing this far from the base?" He grumbled, changing directions. Tobi failed to notice them as they made their way towards him. Kiku picked a nearby rock up and threw it. It clonked the masked man on the head, causing him to trip over his feet and fall flat on his mask.
He leaped up, in a taijutsu defense pose. "Under attack!" She let out a snort of laughter, then winced, holding her gut as pain shot through her. 'Daaamnit...'
Sasori noticed her unease and smirked, before passing past her and over to Tobi. "What are you doing here?"
Tobi gawked and started to flap his arms about. "Tobi can't find Senpai!" He said frantically. Kiku-chan felt her chakra spike. "What?"
He winced. "Senpai blew Tobi into sky and now he find him!" He cried, gripping his visible hair. Sasori narrowed his eyes, "Kiku, this mission has been put on a halt. Summon ten earth clones and-"
"As much as I'd love to help find my brother," She broke in angrily. "but I can't function my chakra because some little red haired prick-"
"One more word and you'll loose the ability to move your legs." The red head growled, causing her to clampt her mouth and nod warily. "H-hai..."
"We'll meet back at the Widow hotel at sunset, head out." And in a blink on an eye, they disappeared, leaving a distressed Tobi. "Tobi donno where Widow is!" He went silent for a moment and cocked his head slightly to one side. "Fucking assholes," He growled, turning and stalking away, 'dark tobi' had come out. "They didn't establish any boundy markers or places where Deidara-Senpai could be." Muttering profanities under his breath, he disappeared in a gust of wind.
With Kiyo and Deidara
"Aww, but I wanted to meet him!" Kiyo complained, as Deidara dragged her away. "He seems like a fun drunk to hang with!"
"Trust me Kiyo-chan, you won't even last five minutes with him, un." He warned, as they marched down the street. The kunoichi huffed in indignation. "I am a proud kunoichi of the rain, I can handle some crazy lollipop anyhow!"
"If you're so proud of Amegakure, why'd you leave?" He inquired, getting a venomous glare in response. "Maa, thought so."
"It's ninja stuff," She said, but beneath he could hear a snarl, "Something obnoxious travelers won't understand." He smirked. 'Try me.'
"Excuse me ladies," Came a pleasant voice. A man with long white hair and red streaks was staring at them with an over glazed look in his eyes. "But could I interest you in-"
Deidara ignored him entirely and marched past him, his hair bristling as he did so. The old coot didn't catch the message and jogged to catch up. "My mine's-"
"Not interested." He growled, picking up the pace.
"But-"
The blonde halted and turned, eyes blazing. "First off, I am a MALE!" He practically shouted, shoving his index finger into his chest. "Second, I don't care what the fuck you're advertising so go fuck yourself, hmm! And third, that outfit you're wearing looks like shit!" And with that, he stormed off, dragging a laughing Kiyo behind him.
The 'old coot' stood there, shocked. 'That's a boy?!' Was the only thing that was processed through the entire scream fest.
"Aw man! Did you see the look on that man's face?!" Kiyo crackled once out of sight. "He totally thought you were a chick Pretty boy!"
Deidara came to a halt, "Kiyo, is it me or everyone staring at us, hmm?" He asked, glancing at the numerous of people staring at them strangely.
Kiyo finally noticed and shrugged. "I donno, maybe they're so shocked at my sexy body they're frozen." The kunoichi looked down, then went red.
"L-let go of my hand!" She spluttered, ripping out of his grip. "No wonder they're staring! They think we're lesbians!"
The blonde cocked his head. "Lesbians...?"
A small part of her brain exploded. "A girl dating another girl!" She snapped, seeing his face grow red in anger. "I AM NOT A GIRL DAMNIT!" He shouted to the crowd around them. They exchanged glanced among one another before breaking out into a stream of whispers.
"Poor thing, too ashamed to admit it..."
"I would to, falling in love with another woman, disgusting!"
"Shh! Don't be rude!"
The blonde gripped his hair in frusturation. "That is it, hmm!" He tore his top robe off, showing his flat and very non-girly chest. Several gasps were heard. "I will very well take my pants off to prove I am a guy!" He growled, placing his hands on the hem of his pants(Very ooc for him, but ah well). Most of the girls eeked and looked away, blushing like mad.
It wasn't every day a very fit boy took his shirt off in the little town of crows. Beside him, Kiyo was blushing like mad. Seeing all the shocked looks, he nodded in satisfaction. Picking up his discarded green robe, he slipped back into it.
By now Kiyo had just processed what had just happened and sent him flying across the street. "What the hell was that?!"
The blonde rubbed his already swelling cheek. "I took my shirt off, duh..." A tick mark bulged on her forehead. "You just don't go stripping like that in the middle of the street! Were you raised in a barn or something?!" She demanded.
"Che, I wish..." He muttered, tilting his head to one side, dodging the incoming fist.
"You got a problem, hmm?!" He growled, catching the next fist that flew his way. He wasn't exactly in the most cheerful of moods having to PROVE he was male. And he wasn't exactly pleased to have some confusing kunoichi scream at him for something as stupid as this.
Seriously, where all girls like this?
She smirked. "You aren't a traveler, are ya Pretty Boy? Someone who can run faster than a ninja and dodge a ninja has got to be one themself."
He shrugged, clearly aggitated. "Soooo?" She looked almost surprised that he had given up so easily. There wasn't a point to lie anymore, he had failed his cover-up and that was that. Besides, it wasn't like he was going to be tortured or anything. Kiyo seemed to be no higher than a chunin rank nin. Not like she could actually hurt an S-class criminal such as himself.
Kiyo's eyes sparkled, all signs of anger suddenly gone(much to his confusion). "Lets spar!"
"Eeeeh?"
-Thirty minutes later-
"God-damnit!" Kiyo hissed, barely dodging another round of fists that flew her way. "I didn't know you were this good!"
Deidara smirked, leaping back to summon a shadow clone. Kiyo's shoulders sagged in dismay. "That isn't fair!" She growled, pointing an accusing finger at him. "I can barely take on ONE of you! It's bad enough I'm getting my ass kicked by a kid younger than me, but to have him look even more feminine? That's just wrong!"
Deidara decked her in the face, sending her across the clearing. Both clones cracked their knuckles. "Say that again, I dare you, hmm." They said in sync, smirking sadistically.
The kunoichi rose, rubbing her cheek. "Wow, who the hell taught you how to fight?" He crossed his arms, a killer intent seeping off him. "A lying bastard that will die very soon..." She coughed awkwardly, getting into offense position. "So your also a rogue nin, pretty cool. But what's with that lollipop from earlier?"
As she charged and attacked the two, he replied. "He's my insane partner, one moment he's a complete baka, and the next, a serious guy with a knack for pissing me off, hmm."
"Sounds like my old teammates." She mused, knocking the clone of its rear before leaping back to preform a jutsu. "Water style: Thousand Needles of Death!" Deidara managed to leaped back, avoiding all iced needles that plunged towards him and his clone.
His clone, wasn't so lucky.
"Ha!" Kiyo slammed a fist to her chest. "Kiyo: 1-"
"Dei 23." He said, watching her scowl in amusement. "Face it Kiyo-chan, I've got you beat, yeah."
The violet haired girl flipped her bangs out of her face. "The awesome Kiyo does not loose, she allows you to win."
"Your so full of it, I'm surprised you have enough room to think!" And with that, she charged him once more. They exchanged kicks and punches until a drop of rain landed on Deidara's nose. He stepped to one side, letting Kiyo fly past him and fall.
She extended a leg and spun, knocking him flat on his ass. "Haha!"
He shrugged and sat, extending a hand. Another drop hit, then another. "I'm calling off the spar, or whatever this poor excuse for a fight was." He said, getting a foot stomped on his back.
"Wha'd you say beensprout?"
"You heard me, un."
With a gust of wind, he appeared behind her. "Now I'm going back to town before the rain gets heavier, you coming?"
She scoffed. "Of course, I still have to get my things before I skip town."
"Ahh, hunter-nin right?"
"Yeah, damn bastard sent them after me." She grumbled, walking along side him as they made their way back to town. "But I'm not going back, not to that hell hole."
He raised an eyebrow, his curiousity getting the better of him. "Why, yeah?"
"Everyone there treats me like I'm an idiot. They constantly looked down on me like a parasite, but where I'm going, I'll be treated like a somebody, not some weak little kunoichi." She said spitefully. Deidara blinked. "Do you have a family, un?"
"No, they were killed during the Shinobi world." She said, not an ounce of sadness in her voice. "So what about you? What's your story? Where'd those mouths come from?"
He rubbed the back of his neck. He saw this one coming a mile away. "Well...I stole a kinjutsu...and blew up an entire village, yeah."
Kiyo pointed at him in awe. "Holy shit I know you! You're Deidara Okamoto! The infamous Tsuchikage's pupil that blew up half his office building! Dude, you are a freakin' legend!" She mentally whacked herself for not identifying him sooner, he had been in a notebook on the Kage's desk she found (and read without permission) a few weeks back. "Even the Kage has tabs on your ass!"
"That's...creepy..."
She shrugged. "That's the 'god of Amegakure' does. He's got a pole shoved so far up his ass it isn't even funny."
He doubled over in laughter. "Bwhahahaha!" She just described his character perfectly! It took a few good minutes to calm down. Taking a deep breath, he gave her a cheery wave. "It was nice meeting you Kiyo-chan, but we both got places to be, hmm."
The kunoichi nodded and he had only taken three steps when she spoke. "Hey Deidara?" He turned around. "Yeah?"
She fiddled her forefingers, pink coating her cheeks. "Well...I was wondering if you and I...I mean we...can go out for breakfeast?"
"Okay? Where?"
"Gimoa's food stand!" She spluttered, bowing, then taking off. He watched her leave in bewilderment. 'Just what the hell is her malfunction? One moment she's happy, then angry, then...that.'
Not wanting to think much on it, he shrugged and walked on. It was pissing down rain by the time he got back to the hotel. The woman behind the counter coughed. "Excuse me sir, but you still have to pay for yesterday..."
"I'll pay when I leave, hmm." He said briskly, pulling out his pokerface. "Got a problem with that?" She flinched. "N-no..."
Passing by her, he slipped a stack of bills onto the counter. Ignoring her gasp of surprise, he kept walking. He entered his room, surprisingly there sat Tobi.
He tilted his head, even with the mask, Deidara felt his eyes boring onto him. "Where have you been, Senpai?"
His voice was dark and alarming. It was rare for Tobi's other personality to emerge. "Out." He answered briefly, kicking off his water-logged sandals.
"Found Kiku and Sasori earlier," He went on, "Spent more than half the day looking for you." The blonde bristled, hating the superiority in his voice.
"Che, I can look after myself." He growled.
Tobi narrowed his eyes under the mask. "Orochimaru will come back for you, I know just as well as the others he'll stop at nothing to get his most favorite test subject back."
Deidara whipped his head and glared. "And when he does, I'll be ready, yeah!" He snarled viciously. Tobi slammed him against the wall. "You really think you can take one of the legendary Sannin down?!" He hissed, sending a shivers down the blonde's spine. "What would have happened if he appeared? You left all your clay here and I know for damn sure you won't last five minutes without it! No matter how far you go, no matter how hard you hide, he will stop at nothing to get your DNA. And if he manages to successfully transplant your kekkei genkai into another human it may very well be the end for the Akatsuki and thousands of innocent people!"
He had done research on his partner's clan and they were feared for their power to explode mountains and completely reform landscapes into craters. Once the user of the exploding release gained full control over their kekkei genkai, anything they touch could be destroyed. It was one of the most powerful known to the Shinobi world, out rivaling the sharingan and byakugan easily. Such power helped them mold the foundations of early Iwagakure into what it was today.
But as time wore on, many lost the secrets to their clan and were unable to completely control themselves, causing the once proud Okamoto-clan to wither into shame and destruction. Many Okamoto's had been killed over the Great Shinobi Wars, causing their numbers to decrease greatly. Any person whether it was a woman or child was killed if they possessed the exploding release, no exceptions. As far as he knew, only Kiku and Deidara were the remaining heirs to the clan. Their blue eyes and blonde hair ment that they were full Okamoto's. Their blood wasn't mixed with any other but their clans. This led him to believe that their mother and father had been arranged to be married. But that caused an even greater question to mind: Who married the last two Okamoto's?
He cleared the troublesome question away, the only thing that mattered was that Orochimaru didn't get his filthy hands on Kiku or Deidara. Because if he did manage to implant their DNA into his subjects, destruction and chaos would rule the Shinobi world. If one could not control the exploding release, then they would be nothing more than walking time bombs.
Deidara shoved him off. "Fuck off!" He roared, stalking into the bathroom with a lou BANG. Tobi sighed and leaned against the bathroom door. "Your not alone Deidara, you have an organization of S-ranked criminals behind you. As long as we're around, Orochimaru won't dare to come for you."
Oh how wrong he was.
Bookworm: Decided to input some data on the history of the Okamoto clan. Everything is made up, so don't take it seriously okay? Anywho, review and make the magical bookworm happy :)
