Chapter Twenty-Nine: Self-Assigned Mission

Sasori was about to lean in for another kiss but he noticed that all the people on the dance floor had clustered into a circle. He wasn't sure what was going on so he gently took Loren by the arm and dragged her over to the crowd that was jumping and roaring. When he was close enough to see what was going on he sighed. Deidara had beaten up some civilian kid, perfect; Pein-sama was going to love this.

"For the love of God," he muttered and Loren also sighed next to him. They watched a teacher suddenly swoop in and took hold Dei and Jenny by the arm and led them out of the cafeteria. "Idiot brat," Sasori growled making note that he was personally going to beat the shit out of the blond when they got back to the Academy. He was about to fallow his friends out when Loren took his hand.

"Please…I want to stay," she said looking at him with a cunning eye "they got in trouble not us."

"But…" he blinked as she pulled him back to her.

"I only get a week to have you like this," she said taking his soft cheeks in her hands and looking into his maroon gaze. "To have Sasori as a human…let me enjoy it."

Sasori wasn't sure how to react to the statement. On one hand she'd rather have him as a human rather then a puppet. Which was fair in his mind though slightly insulting to his art. On the other hand she was accepting to move forward their relationship. Which in his mind was a major plus since he did like her a lot (enough to kiss her in public) and she seemed to like him to (she let him kiss her) so in his mind this was a very easy decision. He'd worry about the puppet thing later.

"Your right," he said carefully putting her hands from his face and to his shoulders. "I'm sure they can work out their own issues," he said moving his hands down her lovely curves and rested them on her hips. "For now we enjoy the night."

She smiled at him happy he was about her own height; she liked it when guys didn't tower over her. In middle school she even use to beat boys up that where taller then her. Yeah, I don't get it either.

As another fast song came on Loren smiled leaning forward and pressing her body to Sasori's. The puppet smiled slightly and kissed her again.

Birds annoyed me awake. To most birds singing in the morning would be a pleasant thing but for me I'd be more likely the shoot down the damn things and go back to bed. I growled groggily and rolled onto my back. As I looked up at the ceiling I recalled the night before and instantly I felt my belly fill with butterflies.

Deidara had kissed me! No, more like totally made-out with me! Was I dreaming? No, couldn't have been…well maybe… I looked over to Deidara's bed but he was nowhere to be seen. I touched my lips as if checking to see if they gave any clue to last night's events. They told me nothing and I carefully got out of bed and tip toed to the bathroom. I had no idea what time it was but by the light that came through the windows I guessed about eight or nine in the morning maybe later.

"Jenny!" I heard my brother call from down stairs.

"Yeah?" I called back as I squeezed some toothpaste onto my toothbrush.

"Want some coffee or tea?" he yelled and I thought it over.

"Tea is fine!" I said and there was no reply so I brushed my teeth quickly then washing my face. I headed down stairs still in my purple kitty pajamas (very attractive).

"You look lovely this morning," Sasori said from the sofa in his hands a steaming cup of tea I believed.

"Don't I?" I asked striking a model pose and flipping my un-brushed hair over my shoulder. Next to him Deidara gave a cute smile and I blushed bashfully at my silliness.

"Ma's got your tea…ugh how can you drink that?" he spat giving a disgusted look.

"My sempai at the Academy drinks it every morning with me," I said with a shrug as I padded past the boys and into the kitchen where my mother stood sipping on her coffee in a red and black robe. She looked up at me and smiled before shifting her head to point out the mug of green tea sitting on the counter top.

"Deidara is in a peppy mood," she said quietly as I picked up the mug "I thought you where mad at him."

"I was," I said quickly blowing over the hot liquid. I knew I could trust my mother she was my mother after all but I wanted to tease her with the news. "But we made up."

"Oh?" she questioned and I nodded with a stupid grin on my face. "So you talked?"

"A little," I shrugged taking a sip of my tea. "Hmm I miss Itachi…"

"Hey don't change the subject," she said with a sly grin that made her look like a teenager. The woman was beautiful with tanned skin from island sun and her black hair curling around her face. "Tell your Mama what happened."

"Okay well," I said softly checking the door for anything when I was content that no one was listening I spilled my guts. I knew I'd done talks like this before to my mother it just felt very natural. "He kissed me…well we kind of made out."

"Made out?" my mom raised a brow unsure of my meaning.

I blushed giggling insanely. "Well we where talking and then he came onto my bed," my mother's eyebrows became hidden in her hair line "he was on top of the covers Ma," I stated as if it was a valid excuse "well I was a bit surprised and tried to push him off but…he told me to shut up and trust him and he kissed me Ma." My insides flipped and I quickly tried to warm my belly with the tea. I felt I should just stop their I'm sure my mother wouldn't want to know that I was on my back and Deidara taking full advantage (in a good way) she might go Amazon on him and beat his skinny Asian ass. Though I'd actually like to see that happen I would fear for Deidara's life if my dad where to notice the events.

"Was it nice?" my mother asked her eyes soft and understanding.

"Yea," I said with a soft smile.

"Just be careful," she said in an authoritative tone "oh and don't tell your father it might be the end of that boy's life."

"I was just thinking about that," I said with a smirk.

After my little talk with my mom I felt a lot more relaxed as I sat down on the sofa next to Deidara. There was space between us but we gave each other glances and Deidara's usual guy smirk. Sasori could obviously tell something was up and Kenny was beginning to catch on too.

"So…is being a ninja hard?" my brother asked trying to get our attention.

"Kind of," Sasori spoke "it's different then a normal school."

"Very different," I sighed slouching down in my seat.

"Oh," Ken said bringing his feet up onto the recliner chair. "Must be cool," he said and I could almost feel his jealousy.

"It's a lot of hard work believe me," I said "very physical and mental stuff." (I described ninja training as stuff. Jeez Itachi would kill me)

"I'm surprised you're becoming a ninja," Kenny said with a dull look "you got like a C in gym class didn't you?"

"My sampai trained me hard I guess," I said with a shrug and Deidara snorted next to me. I glared at him. Pervert. "Besides," I said looking back at Ken "no one really knows who chooses you to become a ninja it's not like I sighed up."

"I'm sure," he said not believing me and I scowled.

"Yea I love you too," I said with a grumble looking up at the TV.

My friends gave wry looks at me as I crossly sipped my tea. The new was dull but it kept my mind off other things. Then some blabber about a major kidnapping in south Boston hit my ears and my head snapped at Deidara and Sasori. I knew both of them must be bored with being at home all day.

They're where never any rules that said we couldn't 'practice' our skills while off duty and it was to help mankind. I smiled at the boys as I rushed upstairs to get my phone and quickly dialed Loren's number.

"Hey?" Loren muttered from the other end of the photo.

"Did you hear about the kidnapping in Boston?" I asked very quickly as I dived into my closet to find something to wear.

"Yeah so what about it?" she asked "It's been on like every new station for the past hour, it's a gang or something and there holding like twenty people in some warehouse off the Mass Pike."

"What to go kick some ass?" I asked with a sly smile.

"Um are you sure? We are only students and if we are found to be ninja the Academy is screwed and so we will be."

"I'm sure that's all fine and dandy but what if we have a senior ninja with us?" I suggested knowing full well that her mother in fact was a ninja as well. "I'm sure Deidara is itching to blow something up too and I'd rather it not be my house," I stated picking out a pair of jeans a black T-shirt with a pentacle on it that I'd gotten on a visit to Salem and my black sweater of course.

"Um well...Ugh fine I'll ask my mom! Call you back," she sighed before hanging up. I snapped close my phone and began to change.

Everyone was soon dressed for comfort though we knew this was going to be a mission (self assigned). So now all we had to do was wait for Loren's call back. She had been completely right when she said we would need a graduated Shinobi with us to make sure we didn't mess up big time. So we waited quietly on the sofa not answering any of my family's questions and watched the news for any new detail on our mission.

There was an unknown amount of gang members which wasn't helpful, they were well armed and the hostages where thought to be locked somewhere in the Danny and Sultana warehouse. I could tell Sasori was getting antsy. He hated waiting for something to happen, no wait he hated waiting for anything.

Finally the phone rang and I quickly snapped it open as Sasori gave a sigh.

"Well?" I asked into the phone.

"Mom said she'll except watching over us for the mission," she said and I smiled. "How do we get there?"

"We can travel by clay bird," I said glancing at Deidara who smiled. "It's way faster then by car and it will be safer."

"Okay we will be at your house in five minutes undo the disguise jutsu on all of you okay? We can't look like civilians during the mission." She said.

"Okay that's fine," I said "see you in a few." I shut the phone and opened my back pack that held all of my own Dragon scrolls, two bags of Dei's clay that he had brought, and a few of Sasori's scrolls that held his favorite puppets. Lastly I took out the medical scroll to undo the disguise and passed it to Sasori. My brother watched interested but we didn't care if he saw.

Quickly each of us did the quick seals that undid the glamour and made ourselves back to 'normal.' I quietly scratched the scales under my eyes as Loren's mom's car pulled up into the driveway.

"Oh! Jenny um…where are you three going?" my mother blinked looking at the three of us stuff kunai up our sleeves and under our shirts. I looked up and smiled at her as the doorbell rang.

"We're going on a mission," I said and again she blinked at us gawking at Deidara's yellow hair as I opened the door. Loren walked in fallowed by her mother.

"Ah Jenny you look so beautiful," her mother said with a thicker Spanish ascent then my mother's.

"Donyeta," my mother blinked saying Loren's mom's nickname. Donyeta smiled at my mom. "What's going on? Um where are you guys going?"

"South Boston," Sasori said giving my mom a dull half lidded stare "it's on the WBZ-4 news."

"Don't worry I'll take care of the kids," Donyeta said with a smile "do you think I could leave the car in your driveway?" My mom nodded mutely and I hugged her and gave my brother a kiss on the forehead.

"Watch us on the new okay?" I said and they both nodded as we left the house, my mother and Kenny watched from the doorway.

Deidara groped at the clay in his bag and the mouths in his palms chewed. It took a few minutes but then Deidara was finished molding the clay and dropped a tiny crane like bird and preformed the seals to make it expand. The bird was engulfed in white smoke and then suddenly towered over us from twenty feet up. It was long enough to fit maybe ten people and had two pairs of wings for speed.

The crane lowered its head and the blond climbed on walking on the spine of its neck till he stood at the base and made a motion to come on. Donyeta jumped up bringing chakra to her feet and soaring up onto its back. Sasori climbed up next fallowed by Loren. I looked back smiled at my mom and brother and stepped onto the crane's head. As I stepped on the head began to lift up so I skidded down the neck and hit Deidara square in the chest.

I coughed bashfully and moved out of Deidara's way so he could drive the bird. Loren broke into a fit of giggles as she sat down on the clay. I sat down next to her and clamped myself down on it with my chakra.

Then the bird opened its great wings careful not to hit the house and lifted off. I took a breath as the vertigo fell over me and made my stomach flip. I looked up as best I could from the wind and watched Deidara's form stand tall at the front of the bird his gold hair whipping around his head.

"What's our coordinate hmm?" he yelled over the wind.

"North east at a 48 degree angel," Donyeta called.

Deidara nodded and the bird shifted slightly so we where heading in the right direction.
