Sasori's grip tightened on his sword and he pressed it closer to her skin. "Don't press my patience woman" he seethed. Deidara only smirked and then looked forward at the other Captains shielding Jiraiya.
"Soar, Nendokinchou" she said under her breath and her sword broke into the birds and flew between her and the others. Jumping back in alert Deidara took this moment to push Sasori's sword away and escape his grasp.
They birds swarmed back to her and her sword was once again whole. Deidara turned around tried to slam down on Sasori but was only met with his own.
"Hehe Sasori-danna, my master wants you dead" she smiled widely as she pushed down harder.
"Really now, how interesting who is this master of yours?" he wondered holding her at bay.
"Well wouldn't you like to know" she smirked. Deidara flinched a bit and jumped back holding her head. She turned her head and looked at Hinata with blood shot eyes. She tightened her hold on her sword and jumped at her only being met with a familiar sward.
Sakura glared up at the blonde, "Deidara what on earth are you doing!?" she yelled only making her smirk and push down. Sakura grabbed her sword with both hands and pushed her back.
Deidara looked to the side and smiled. "I must take my leave now, but don't fret I will be back" she laughed before running to the balcony and jumping off. Sakura ran after her and jumped on the banister looking down and seeing nothing.
"Find her!" Jiraiya ordered making all the Captains do a double take. "She needs to be found something is controlling her and we need to make sure she doesn't get to where this "master" is meeting her" he said hurriedly.
"Itachi, Tsunade, and Sakura you go as the first group. Gaara, Sasori, and Kiba are on the second. Hinata, Naruto, and Shikamaru and then Shino will come with me" he ordered as they all ran off in their own groups going to find their lieutenants.
Sakura and Tsunade ran beside each other with Itachi in the front. "We have to find her, not only because she's my best friend but-"
"She holds part of the Isei stone" Tsunade finished for her.
Sakura faced forward again and tried to pick up the pace. She could help but notice Tsunade kept glancing back at Shizune. Itachi stopped and Tsunade and Sakura halted behind him.
"I don't think I have ever seen them before" he said signaling to the man and woman on the building across from them. The woman had blue hair and the man had piercings all over his face.
Sakura went wide eyed as she saw the two for the second time. She looked past the two and saw Deidara standing with her back facing them. "DEIDARA!" Sakura shouted.
She looked back somewhat but ignored the call and ran off once again. Tsunade was about to chase after her when Sakura grabbed her arm. "Now Tsunade-teichou these two were with the ones who attacked Deidara and I" she said making both Itachi and Tsunade look at her.
"Be careful," she told them.
"Sakura-teichou please let me, Shizune, and Kisame handle them while you pursue Deidara-teichou" Ino said pulling her sword from its sheath.
"No!" Both Itachi and Shizune said harshly making Ino jump.
Itachi turned back and looked at the two new enemies. He took out his sword slowly as the other two did the same. The blue hair woman stepped forward and smile at them. "Well, well hello there Uchiha-teichou. You sure are much cuter in person" she smiled.
"I am Konan. I will have the pleasure of fighting you" she held her sword out and pointed it at him.
"Seeing as you could take on Sakura and Deidara I will not waste time with you." He said simply looking at his sword and then to her. "Consume, Gensou" he said opening his now red eyes. His sword was then engulfed with a black fire.
She jumped forward and slammed down on his sword that he quickly and easily blocked. Shizune came beside Sakura and looked around, "Sakura-teichou can you feel that?" she asked.
Sakura nodded and looked around as well. Sakura walked a bit forward to try and see where it was coming from. Suddenly the roof that they were standing on rumbled and a rag doll looking man jumped from the hole. Shizune went wide eyed as she turned to see him and Tsunade and Itachi looked over horror on their faces.
Itachi pushed Konan out of the way with his hand and pointed his sword at the area between the two and a huge black fire ball shot out at him. Jumping back to avoid it, Shizune shot through and cut him clear across the chest.
Konan seeing the opening slashed at the arm holding his sword. Seeing her move Itachi tried to evade but her sword cut through his shirt and cut his arm. Konan looked up and jumped out of the way as Kisame's huge sword smashed down onto the place where she had just been.
Tsunade already having released her sword ran at the man who had yet to intervene with Ino following close behind her. Slamming her sword down in the spot he had disappeared from the building began to cave in. Tsunade and Ino jumped off and landed on the roof the man had gone.
"You have quite a unique sword Tsunade-teichou; please allow me to introduce myself. I am Pain and what a pleasure it is to fight the Special Army's leader" he smirked.
"Where is Deidara?" she glared standing up straight.
"Ah now see if I told you. My Master would be very displeased; he doesn't wish to be revealed until necessary" Pain said calmly as Tsunade's gaze hardened.
Pain held up his sword and slashed at Tsunade but she was just out of his reach until a mist shot out and surrounded both Tsunade and Ino. Both covered their face with their arms and Tsunade looked around for him. But she slumped a bit feeling tired.
"Tsunade-teichou," Ino slumped to her knees and fell to the ground unconscious still holding her sword tightly.
"Konan, Kakuzu let's go" Pain said grabbed Tsunade's now unconscious body and throwing her over his shoulder.
Konan jumped back from Kisame's swing and looked to the fog, "Alrighty" she said flipping back into it. Kakuzu looked over and pushed Shizune back knocking her into Sakura. He jumped the small gap between the roofs and disappeared in the mist.
Itachi hurried over to Shizune and helped both her and Sakura up. "Are you alright?" Itachi asked mostly Shizune. Sakura looked over to the mist and went wide eyed. Kisame walked over as it began to clear and picked up the blonde lieutenant.
"Where's Tsunade-teichou?" Shizune asked looking around.
"She's not there" Kisame said looking down at the unconscious Ino.
Sakura went wide eyed when she realized they took Tsunade. She glanced at Itachi and wondered, wasn't he supposed to protect Tsunade? Why was he so bent on protecting Shizune, Tsunade had part of the Isei stone and now this mysterious enemy had two parts of the stone.
Sakura looked over at Itachi and grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him off leaving a very confused Shizune and Kisame.
"Itachi! What are you doing aren't you supposed to be protecting Tsunade-teichou?!" she whisper yelled.
Itachi looked down at her with a bored expression, "It is not that I do not care for Tsunade-teichou, but I do have a job and Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-teichou made that very clear" he said walking past her and back to the others.
Sakura twitched and glared after him, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" she asked herself. Sakura followed Itachi back and they all headed back to the center of Seireitei.

Deidara sat on the steps below a throne. She grabbed the sleeves of her black Shinigami outfit and tore them off. Doing the same to the other side she leaned back against the legs of a shadowed figure.
"Master when are the others getting back?" she asked looking up at him.
"It should be soon my sweet," he coaxed as he placed his hand on the top of her blonde head. The door across the large room opened and Pain, Konan, and Kakuzu walked in. Deidara sat up and looked closer seeing something over Pain's shoulder.
"Who's that?"
"Master we have brought Tsunade-teichou at your request. Also we found this amongst her things," Pain said tossing a green orb to Deidara.
She caught it with ease and looked at the shiny sphere. "Hey it matches mine," she smiled and pulled out an identical yellow orb. "Master are these what you want?" Deidara asked walking up to him and placing the two in his hand.
"These are in fact exactly what I require and Deidara I assume you know where the other two are, don't you?" he smirked.
Deidara smirked as well and crossed her arms, "Of course I do, and in fact it will be easy to get them. The two that have them are Sabaku no Sakura and Hyuuga Hinata, Sakura could never hurt me, and I am her friend and Hinata well she's just a push over"
"Alright then I will leave them to you," he said tossing the two orbs back to her. "If the time comes use those but be careful I don't want to lose you again," he said leaning back in his throne.
Deidara smiled and placed them in the top of her outfit. "It would be my pleasure master" she said grabbing her sword fro the stairs and walking past the three and out the doors.
"Now you three restrain this woman and take her sword and lock it away, it's dangerous having her here" he ordered and the three nodded and left.
"Your plan seems to be lying out perfectly" a pale man hissed as he came from the shadow.
"Indeed it is Orochimaru, indeed it is" he smirked and rubbed his hands together.
-
"Well Ino will be fine; it was the same toxin as before. So it was easier to extract" Hinata said standing up and turning to Sakura.
"That's great new Hinata" Sakura said happily clapping her hands together. Both of them smiled at each other and then fell silent. "It can't be . . ." Sakura went breathless and both turned wide eyed to the window.
Suddenly the glass smashed in and Deidara stood up straight. She smirked evilly and reached into her shirt and pulled out the two stones holding them between her fingers.
"I assume you want these back," she grinned bearing her teeth for them.
"Deidara!" Sakura yelled taking out her sword. "I don't want to fight you and you know that. Please I know you're stronger then what ever is controlling you" Sakura said weakly holding her sword tightly.
"Ah, so rash Sakura, why don't you step aside this turn and let me fight Hinata? If I recall neither you nor I have seen her released sword it should be interesting no?" she pulled her own out and pointed it towards Hinata.
Placing the orbs back inside her shirt, Deidara ran at Hinata, who did nothing to protect herself. "I will not raise my sword against a friend" she said firmly.
Sakura stood between them glaring up at Deidara. "Unlike Hinata, I will do what I have to, to stop you" Sakura said gripping her sword with both hands and her pink reiatsu surrounding her.
She pushed her back and swung against her sword knocking her back through the wall. Hinata looked sadly at Sakura who just turned away and ran jumping out the hole in the wall.
Hinata's face was in her hands as she cried, "I have to do something" she said quietly turning to the door and running out. She ran toward the Captain's room where she knew the three would be.
Sliding to a stop she thrust the door open seeing Gaara, Sasori, Naruto, Itachi, and Shizune. "Deidara is back and she and Sakura are fighting right now" she said completely out of breath.
Immediately Sasori, Naruto, and Gaara were out the door leaving Itachi and Shizune behind.
-
"I can just take yours now Sakura-teichou" Deidara hissed as she batted Sakura away like a fly. "You know I should use the Isei stone, I wonder what powers it will bestow upon me?" she wondered aloud.
"And to think Sakura if one is powerful how about two" Deidara laughed taking out both the green and yellow stone. She held the yellow one out on the palm of her hand and smashed it. She glowed yellow for a moment before turning back to normal and crushing the green one.
When nothing happened Deidara opened her hand to see the green crystal dust. "That wasn't the Isei stone" she glared up at Sakura. "Where is it?!" she snapped running at her faster then before and slamming down harder.
Sakura just as confused as Deidara searched her thoughts. It that wasn't the Isei stone, and then who had the real one?! Cold fear washed over her as she tried to fight off the now even more powerful Deidara.
Sakura flipped back and closed her eyes thinking for a brief second, who had the part of the Isei stone Tsunade had received? Did Tsunade foresee her own down fall? There were so many questions but now wasn't the time to sit and think, that would cost her life.
