She was going to murder Derek.

Kimmy had regained consciousness a little while back but hadn't bothered to make it known to her captors. These men are dangerous. The blonde one had used explosives on her.

Scratch that.

She was going to strangle Derek and then murder him. She believes she would also torture him before she killed him. Had he planned this somehow?

She continued feigning sleep as her mind processed one thought after another. What should she do? Try and escape, but how? She needed a plan...

She bit her lower lip, grateful her face was hidden by her long hair. It didn't matter though since the red head, Sasori no Danna from what she picked up earlier, was walking ahead of the blonde whose name she still did not know. What a weird name. Sasori no Danna. Is it Sasori or Danna? The blonde guy had said it together though... There was always the mentions of murderers and sex traffickers kidnapping people. What if this wasn't something Derek had planned and she really did run into some bad group of people?

Whether this was some kind of twisted joke on his part or she just did happen to run into some really bad guys she had to be careful. What kind of normal roommate would plan something like this?

Derek though was not acting anything even close to normal when he led her to the park.

"Deidara,"

Kimmy blinked, keeping her breathing slow and even. The last thing she needed was to have them catch onto her act.

"I know,"

Just breathe. In and out, in and out. Relax...

She felt the blonde jump. And then continued jumping after that.

What the..? What is he doing?

She peaked down and bit her lip down, stopping a gasp from escaping her lips.

Her captor was jumping from tree branch to tree branch!

Fear seized her, forgetting all other thoughts of feigning unconsciousness and gripped her fists into his cloak for dear life. These trees somehow looked much taller than what she remembered them to be.

I'm too young to die!

Kimmy felt the blonde, now assuming it to be Deidara, shifted his shoulder. His hand now over her back keeping her steady.

"Don't worry, I won't drop you, hm." She could practically feel his amusement rolling off of him in waves. Kimmy glared at her captors' back, feeling peeved yet too terrified. Partially of him and partially of being so high up in the trees and how the hell is he jumping like this on the trees?! How did he even get up here without climbing it first?!

Without breaking stride Deidara pulled the woman off of his shoulder to carry her in his arms. She stared up at him with wide eyes, lips parting a bit in surprise. The corners of his lips pulled up at the sight of her unease.

"Things are going to get a little interesting."

Before Kimmy could register what was happening, she heard a loud pop and she felt him stop suddenly. She noticed instead of moving forward through the trees, they began to rise up towards the sky. "Whaaa-?!" She looked down and saw… A white bird?! A huge ass bird more like it. And he was standing on top of it.

Her heartbeat accelerated clutching onto his chest not caring in that particular moment getting closer to him.

"Scared of heights, hm?" He said tauntingly.

"Heights; no. Trusting you not to drop me, hell yes!"

She tightened her grip on his cloak to affirm her declaration.

There was a spark in his visible eye when she said that. "Really," There was amusement in his voice that much Kimmy could tell. Dread started to fill her.

She sensed it first, and then she started to feel she was leaning backward. The white bird had shift position and was now starting to tilt its body to the side. Deidara didn't budge from his spot. To her horror, she felt his hands go slack to his sides, letting go of her. The only thing that kept Kimmy Sanchez from falling to her doom was her tight grip on the insane blondes' cloak.

She was NOT going to give this deranged madman the satisfaction of seeing her fear.

She had a feeling he enjoyed that type of thing. Instead, she opted to glare at him as she dangled there. His smirk seemingly to only widen at her glare.

He made no move to pull her hands off his cloak nor did he bother to help her in any way.

Why is he doing this to me?! This guy really doesn't care if I fall to my death. He just wants to see my reaction. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction in seeing her fear, far be it from her, she needed to survive this.

Forcing her pride down, Kimmy sharply pulled herself up against Deidara, quickly wrapping her arms around his torso. She felt his chuckle vibrate through his chest.

"I like how you're so attached to me. I could get used to this, hm." An angry blush tinted Kimmy's cheeks.

Oh how much she wanted to lash back at him! She wasn't stupid though. She was in no position to insult the one whom she was hanging on to.

Deidara watched the expression on the young lady's face, enjoying himself way more than he should have. He grinned, satisfied knowing she already knew he could dispose of her so easily.

He wasn't going to be doing that anytime soon though. He liked her attitude. It didn't hurt that she was attractive either. Her flawless skin and dark emerald green eyes had caught Sasori's attention. He had a soft spot for beautiful things to transform into his artwork. And, she's feisty Deidara noted. For a civilian. At least, that's what Deidara assumed. Her attire was rather strange. It was nothing he'd ever seen anyone dress like before. Even the material looked foreign. He couldn't complain though. It outlined her assets quite nicely. The V-neck in her shirt giving him a nice view.

His grin grew wider. Definitely pleasing to the eye indeed.

He sensed his partners' chakra signature. It flared twice signaling to Deidara that Sasori had finished speaking with one of his spies.

"Tch, just when I was having some fun..."

He had his clay bird to angle itself upright and descend for the ground below.

"How can you control the bird? What is it?" He looked back down to look into cautious but the slightest bit of curiosity in those green orbs.

She expected some type of advanced technology. Even the idea of him coming up with the idea and manufacturing it himself didn't seem too far-fetched either. The answer she got though was something she hadn't expected to hear.

"It's a piece of my art." Deidara's whole countenance had changed from amusement to excitement. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he dug his other hand into the pouch with clay. "I bring my artwork to life. Look, hm" He brought his hand up to her eye level to show her an intricate designed clay bat. She stared at it as the bat stretched out its wings and actually start to fly around them.

"But-what? How?"

"I mold my chakra with the clay, hm. fusing my chakra together with it; I have control over it then. But that's not all, hm." Deidara's eye gleamed with borderline excitement as he explained it to her.

"My artwork isn't just beautiful to look at, it's fleeting! It becomes art, leaving nothing behind, hm. Once it's no longer there, you truly appreciate it in all its glory! Hm, because my art is an explosion!" Putting his hand up to make the familiar hand sign, he exploded the clay bat before their eyes.

Kimmy stared, wide eyed, thoroughly terrified.

Just what did she get herself into?

And he has those things prepared already in his pouch?

She hadn't noticed the mouths on Deidara's hands. She didn't really quite get the whole 'chakra molding with clay' bit either.

He must have something on him to detonate them or something. Kimmy couldn't think more on it though as they, finally, reached the ground.

Sasori was waiting for them. Kimmy quickly pulled away from Deidara, sliding off the clay bird.

She didn't even have a chance to run as Sasori appeared before her, blocking her chance of escape.

"Now where do you think you're going Doll?"

"Uhhh... With you?"

Her heart hammered in her chest as she wondered again how the hell was she going to escape these two.

"I wouldn't want to ruin your beautiful face Doll." He took a step closer cupping her cheek. "Beauty such as yours should be preserved but if you try to run away I'll be forced to."

Kimmy felt a mix of terror and fear at the same time as he let her cheek go to take her hand as she dumbly followed him.

She knew what the blonde man was capable of with those flying bombs of his but she had no idea what this Sasori guy could do. How could she run away? They didn't have to tie her up, she knew she wouldn't be able to escape under those conditions.

She distinctly heard a loud explosion and Deidara catching up to them to walk on the other side of her.

This was bad, this was really bad.


Derek sat on the couch inside the house he rented with Kimmy. His expression was somber as he stared at the TV, not exactly focused on what was playing.

His thoughts were on his roommate. He was wondering how she was doing.

Derek got up from the couch, leaving the TV on as he strolled towards her empty bedroom. Opening the door, he peered inside seeing everything left exactly the way Kimmy had last left it. Other than the covers being disarrayed on her bed, the room was neat.

He looked around the room remembering off handedly she commented to him once that he would look great if he dyed his hair black.

Your blue eyes would really bring them out more.

He stared a while longer before leaving the bedroom to go grab Kimmy's car keys from off the coffee table. She always kept a spare just in case she couldn't find hers. He left the house wondering where he could buy some hair dye.


Kimmy had a bad feeling. That bad itchy feeling that wouldn't leave her mind alone. Her subconscious thoughts were pestering at her something was wrong. She couldn't exactly put her finger on it but she tried to figure out what the problem was besides the obvious with her being kidnapped.

She hadn't let Sasori's hand go ever since he took her hand four hours ago.

The sun was setting casting eerie shadows from the trees into the pathway they were walking on. Both of the men were silent. She wondered what they were planning on doing with her.

She blanched at the few possibilities. She IS a female after all. They are males. She became disgusted with the thoughts that flooded her mind. She had hoped someone, anyone, would have crossed their paths by now but she hadn't seen a single soul. Something about that told her there was something very wrong.

"-most there, hm."

Snapping out of her thoughts, Kimmy looked up at the sound of Deidara speaking and then to look ahead where they were going.

She felt that sinking pit in the middle of her stomach, finally understanding why her subconscious mind was nagging at her so much.

Ahead of them was a huge lake and a tall rock cliff on the other side of it.

She wasn't at the park anymore.

What really bothered her though was; since when did they leave the park?
