Umm okay i really don't really have much to say about this one except, IT SUCKS!! I hate how this one turned out. I mean it has it's funny and scary moments like the other ones but i find it just so boring. All well. All stories always have just that one chapter that is totally uninteresting i guess. Don't worry the next chapters will be way better than how this one turned out. And once again i ask you to please comment to tell me how i'm doing and to alert me of any gramatical errors.
Thanks

Chapter III
'that's the way it is'

'Got to run! Got to get away!'

Tinnara ran and ran through the darkness not knowing where she was going, just hopefully somewhere far away from here. The dark figure was close behind, he was clearly faster than her because he caught up quickly.

He disapeared for a moment and then reappeared in front of her and grabbed her by the throat. She grasped his wrist. "Please stop!" Tinnara pleaded. The man stared at her with those emotionless red eyes. His eyes slowly faded and became blue. Bring his head out of the darkness she was able to see his full face. His blond hair over his left eye and his face close to hers, Tinnara instently reconized him as Deidara.

His breath was warm and felt good against her cold face. Deidara's lips were centimeters away from hers. "I will never stop until I get what I came for." he said.

Suddenly the red eyes appeared again this time right next to Deidara, katana in hand. She knew what he was going to do and she was ready for it. She was ready for death. "Go ahead kill me! Than you'll never get what you want from me!" Tinnara screamed desperately.

"Kill you? Tinnara my dear, whoever said anything about killing you. This is for your friend Naruto-kun." Deidara smirked, Naruto appearing next to her on the wall, chained.

"No! Don't hurt him! If your going to hurt anyone hurt me!" Tinnara pleaded crying. Deidara turned to the man next to him, with the smirk still pastered across face and nodded. The red eyed shadow took the katana and began to stick Naruto with it.

"AHH!" Naruto's screams of pain echoed through the darkness.

"Please stop! Just stop, please..." She screamed, her voice failing.

Deidara pushed her harder into the wall and his grip on her throat tightened. It was almost impossable for her to breathe now, she was coughing desperate for oxygon. "If you don't want this fate to befall you as well you will cooperate and follow these directions, understand?" He said staring into her eyes.

Tinnara turned her head towards Naruto. He was severly injured and had taken deadly blows to his abdomine. She turned back to Deidara and nodded.

"Good girl." Deidara said mockingly loosening his grip. "Now listen carefully..."

"AHH!" Tinnara screamed eyes shut tight and sheilding them with her arms. "Huh?" she opened her eyes and lowered her arms. She was in her room! Water fell from her eyes. She gentally placing her hand on her face. She was... crying!? She had never cried before, only in her dreams. Never. Not even when her dad was found brutally murdered. Not at his funeral. Not when she scraped her knee as a kid. Never.

Tinnara got out of bed and walked across her room to her bathroom. Looking in the mirror she saw her hair looked like a mess. 'Better brush this time or I'll get another smart alick comment from that blond haired idiot.'

She picked up her brush and quickly brushed out her long silkly chocolate brown and pink locks. Desiding to go for a different look today she picked out a black hair scrunchy she tired her hair back and let some droop over her eye.

Tinnara than walked over to her dresser and said, "Naruto if your in there you better get out now or so help me you will be breathing through a tube!"

"Oh fine." Naruto said opening the dresser doors and exiting. "You have no sense of humor at all."

"I know, thank you. Now can you either leave or turn around so I can change." Tinnara ordered, her eye twitching with annoyance.

"Hmph, fine Miss grumpy pants Uchiha." Naruto said teasinly. Tinnara's face turned red and she picked up a shoe and threw it at him, hitting him in the head.

"How mant times do I have to tell you I don't like that dumb ass pretty boy! And next time it won't be a shoe I'll be throwing." Tinnara turned back towards her dresser, while Naruto rubbed his face where the shoe hit and he wisely turned around.

Tinnara took out a hot pink tank top, black fish net top that went half down her upper body, and a pair of black caprees. Naruto turned his head to see. "Are you done yet?"

"Naruto, does it really look like it?" Tinnara asked irritated. Naruto blushed.

"No..."

"Than turn back around and wait till I say so!" Tinnara quickly took off her black pajama pants and tank top and put her clothes on. "Okay, now you can turn around."

Naruto hesitantly turned around to look at her when he began to blush.

"Is there something wrong?" She asked sweetly, "Do I really look that bad?"

Naruto shook his head. "N-no you look beautiful Tinnara-chan."

Tinnara smile, "Really!? Thanks Naruto!" She ran over and tackled him, and began to hug him.

"Hehe, I can always count on you to be random Tinnara-chan." Naruto laughed. Tinnara laughed too.

"Here, let me help you up Naruto." Tinnara said offering him her hand. He gladly took it and she pulled him to his feet. "Come on Naruto-kun let's go down stairs and see what my mom made us for breakfast."

"I hope it's ramen!" Naruto said jumping with glee. They both laughed as they exited Tinnara's bedroom and started down the stairs.

Once at the bottom Tinnara yelled, "Hey mom! What's... for..." she stopped, her eyes widened. Across the room she spotted Deidara sitting at her kitchen table smiling, while her mom handed him some tea. He took a sip, "Ah this tea is the best I ever had. Thank you ma'am, un."

Tinnara's mom just smiled back, "Oh no, thank you Deidara, honey." she then turned her head towards her daughter. "Tinnara, honey, this is our new neighbor Deidara."

"Yeah mom I know. We've met..." Tinnara said regretfully. Her eyes were full of animosity. 'Oh yeah the most annoying guy in the world just "happens" to be my new next door neighbor. How can my life get any better' she thought sarasticly.

"Oh really?" said her mom enthusiastically.

"Yes ma'am. You see Tinnara and I are on the same squad, un."

"Oo really?" her mom winked and bent over and wispered into her ear, "It looks like you got another cutie on your team." she looked over at Naruto who was just had and absent look on his face.

Tinnara blushed, "Umm, I think it's time for us to got. Bye mom!" Tinnara grabbed both Naruto and Deidara by the arms and began to drag them outside, when... the door opens. And Tinnara runs right into the guy that opens it.

"Hey look it's Tinnara. In the way as always I see." Kankuro said. Tinnara blushes and glares.

"Well your one to talk Kankuro." She said crossing her arms. Just than Temari came in.

"Oh Tinnara look how much you've grown! You look precious!" Temari sreeched and wrapped her arms around her giving Tinnara a tight hug. Kankuro just laughed.

"I hate you, you know that right." Tinnara directed toward Kankuro.

"I love you too Tinnara-chan." He said with his annoying smirk.

Tinnara looked around, "Hey were is Gaara-kun?"

"He's a little busy with the village at the moment, but he said he'll try to be here before dinner tonight. Hey being the Kazakage is a lot of work." Temari smiled.

"Hey is there any food around here? I'm starving." a voice said.

"Huh?" that voice sounded so familiar. A black sandled foot stepped in the doorway bringing the rest of the body with it. A blond girl striking a surprising similarity to Naruto was now standing in the doorway. Her blond hair was pretty long, about mid stomache long, and her bangs were side swooped. She wore a tee shirt with the 'Love' symbol on it, fish net arm bands, black mid thigh shorts, and had four different headbands on various parts of her body. The leaf was on her forhead, the sand and mist on either arm, and lastly a sound ninja band hanging from her waist. "Masako?" Tinnara practicaly whispered.

"Tinnara?" the girl said.

"So is this really you?" Tinnara asked in disbeleif.

"Yep it's me! Masako Uzumaki, the one and only and twin sister of Konoha's Number One Knucklehead Ninja Naruto Uzumaki!" She grinned.

"Hey!" Naruto said with an annoyed looked.

"Not my fault it's true." She smirked. Naruto just crossed his arms and started to pout. Tinnara, meanwhile, was literally jumping for joy as she wasted no time running up to Masako and hugged her and she hugged back.

When they seperated Tinnara quickly asked, "How did you- when did you- Why are you with Kankuro and Temari?" Masako lightly giggled at Tinnara's eagerness.

"Well I just happened to be passing through the Sand Village of Sunagakure and Kankuro and Temari were on their way here so we disided to just travel together."

"Hey I got a question..." Kankuro started, "how come you never run up and give me a hug!?"

Tinnara and Masako laughed. "Because you never ask, Kitty."

Kankuro glared, "Please stop calling me that."

"Whatever you say... Kitty." Masako and Tinnara said together. They laughed.

"Just like old times huh Tin Tin?" Masako smiled.

"You even remember my old nickname, I'm flattered." Tinnara smiled back.

"Tin Tin huh? I'll remember that." Deidara said butting into the conversation. A smirk once again plastered across his face.

"Shut up Deidara!" Tinnara comanded.

"Oo who's this Tinnara? Is this your boyfriend?" Masako gave her a sly smile. "Sweet catch! He's a good one." Tinnara blushed.

"He is not my boyfriend." She quickly retorted, her face flushed.

"Uh huh sure he isn't, wink, wink nudge, nudge." Masako teased, winking.

"Damn it Masako! He is not my boyfriend!" She argued.

Masako gave her a confused look, "So… you seriously not going out?"

"No duh!" Tinnara stated whacking Masako in the back of the head.

"Ow, you didn't have to hit me." She said grasping her now aching head.

"Well don't be such a smart ass than." Tinnara said, "Okay we talk more later but now we to go train."
