Helping the blonde make a few clay bird's no one had yet asked her what it was she actually did art wise but by the way she worked her finger's Deidara could tell it must have seen something very delicate and intricate. Smiling at him every so often the bomber turns his head away to blush slightly wile Tobi skip's off out the door to so something else, silence taking over the room as Vixen mumbles every so often when she makes a mistake.
"how's this?" she enquires holding up a small sausage shaped piece of clay but the blonde says nothing as she blink's at him, glancing back down at it she pout's. "it was supposed to be a caterpillar but…" staring at it she stare's gloomily at her dirty hands, the azure eyed male almost having a heart attack when her eyes start to well up. Jumping towards her he begins massaging the teen's shoulder's at a lack of word's, the tear's disappearing slowly as she rolls it up to squeeze like a stress ball.
"it just need's practise, un. What kind of art do you do?" he enquires trying to change the subject as she blushes slightly, twiddling her finger's she smiles slightly. "I wont laugh, yeah" he point's out waiting.
"I….sing" she mumbles only loud enough for him to make out and translate slowly, giving a small 'oh' he smirks.
"it would make a change if your singing was any better than any of the other's around here, un" the blonde states stilling massaging her tense shoulder's that ache from being smashed against the wall of the cave. "let's go get something to eat, un" the blonde chirps helping her up to go to the door, following him out Vixen sticks firmly close to him as they sit down in the living room with bowls of noodles.
"this is good" the brunette smiles sucking up the chicken to sigh with a blush, she ate a lot like Naruto leaving nothing to the imagination along with nothing in the bowl instantly.
"you can really eat, un" the bomber snigger's still sitting with a half full bowl, the girl scratching the back of her head as she glances at a boy with black hair and red eyes.
"Sasuke?" she enquires with a blink watching him give an irritated eye twitch.
"Itachi" his blue friend point's with his thumb, the girl's lips curling up suddenly.
"ah, sorry Itachi-sama, it would appear most Uchiha's are rather handsome then" she smile's lightly as the Uchiha backs up into his high rise collar, the shark smirking with amusement at the reaction.
"I'm Kisame" the shark states expecting her to pass his name off and ignore him but she only smiles at him as well.
"it's nice to meet you" Vixen pleasantly replies getting up to bow and follow Deidara out of the room, smiling at any random passing attention she tries to keep up with the blonde whom was going too fast for her to keep up with. Losing him around a corner she sigh's and leans against a wall trying to relax her aching leg before sliding down to sit on the ground, yawning aimlessly she tilts her head back before dropping back with a 'oof' to rest on a pair of feet. Blinking she looks up at a boy with slicked back white hair who is staring at her, sitting up and shuffling to the side he sticks his head out to look down on her again.
"sorry, I didn't know that was a door" she states waving one of her bandaged hand gently, something flicking in the albino's mind.
"you're the chick Deidara blew up" the albino plainly states getting a small forced smile, it would seem this was the only reason anyone recognised her. "Boxen or something" tilting her head slightly she twitches her lip and eyebrow.
"Vixen, and you are?" she question's peering up at his purple eyes calmly.
"Hidan" he mumble's staring at her sitting on the floor in the middle of the empty hallway randomly. "why are you sitting here?" he bluntly asks seeing no one around the area but her.
"I was trying to keep up with Deidara but got lost…my injuries got a bit strained in the process. Heh" she smile's squirming for a moment before just glancing up at him. "sorry if I disturbed anything" she smiles glancing down again to the ground, watching him wander off she blinks before trying to keep her legs out of the road of any passing feet.
Starting to doze off she jumps and look's about in a panic when something says something to her.
"eh, huh, what?" she enquires sheepishly looking up at the orange swirl with a Uke's expression, kneeling down he prod's her forehead curiously.
"why are you sitting here?" he squeaks questing her as Vixen blinks slowly and glances about looking half asleep, her head tilting as Tobi taps her. "neih, don't go back to sleep. Tobi want's you to stay awake" he plight's as she flops her head onto him to sleep again, her forehead nuzzling him the crook of his neck making him sigh and tilt his head down in defeat quickly. Picking her up the spastic swirl carries the girl towards the bedroom while getting odd looks from a few people, Vixen's arms curled up to her chest while she holds onto his green scarf to nuzzle. Deidara glance's from his desk when he enters and put's the sleeping form on the bed.
"senpai should really watch where he is leaving pretty lady" he states skipping over to sit next to him, the bomber mumbling something under his breath before turning to look at her still gripping the scarf causing Tobi to skid onto his bum with a heavy thud. "owie…" he squeaks trailing the scarf back up to her whom is trying to pull the cloth back, untying it the scarf disappears when she turns over to shove her face in it.
"she's a comfort sleeper" Konan point's out entering the room to look at the mess, glancing at the scarf she rolls her eyes. "just be careful how close you get, or you'll end up her teddy and she'll probably suffocate you from holding on too tight" picking up the dishes the blue haired nin disappears again out of the door followed by the annoying Tobi, the blonde bomber glancing at the clay then to Vixen whom is muttering, the scarf on the floor.
Cautiously he steps closer and picks up the discarded article to hold out above her head, twitching her nose every so often like a small rabbit she opens her eyes to look up at Deidara.
Yawning she grabs him in one fowl swoop and flips him up and over to be against the wall facing her, azure eyes wide as she squirms closer to rest her forehead against his abs. her finger's intertwining with a blanket before she seems to still to a calm state. With a panicked face the blonde stare's down at her while holding his breath for as long as he can before it releases, the brunette nuzzling him every so often.
"I told you do be careful…" Konan smirk's picking up Tobi's scarf and waving as she leaves without an ounce of care, Vixen amazingly does not wake up throughout all of the noise but just turns over to have her back up against Deidara. For several hour's they sat alone until eventually the blonde had gotten bored and sat playing with clay he had put in his pocket, apparently as long as he stayed on the bed Vixen would not have any complaints. Yawning is heard as the girl starts to wake up to swivel her eyes about then turn them to look up at Deidara whom is leaning over a piece of clay. Sitting up she glance's at her hand's then away again to the floor.
"sorry" she states getting a small reply from the blonde.
"for?" he question's still fiddling with his clay and poking eyes into it.
"you must have been sitting there for hour's because of me…I really shouldn't be here. I'm just a burden" she mumble's rubbing the bandages over her hand to resemble a fingerless glove and arm warmer.
"I don't mind, un" he states glancing at to her, slowly she glances up at him. "y-you're not a burden either, un!" he urgently states before tensing slightly when she wraps her arms around him to give Deidara a gentle cuddle.
"thank you" she smiles leaning into him while he messes with the clay again, the silence consuming again while she just closes her eyes.
After a week of healing Vixen could walk about on her own and was soon placed on guard duty up a tree outside, a strange man with a Venus fly trap walking by every so often talking to himself. When Itachi finally came to take over she jumps down and wander's off into the deeper parts of the forest to look about, a pond set out from everything else with a stone table, willow and a Sakura tree around it. Sitting down Vixen stares in awe as small insect's suddenly attack her to sit on her shoulder's or face, smiling she watches them float above the tranquil water.
[You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies could light up the world as I fell asleep, cause they fill the open Air and leave teardrops everywhere] she sing's pleasantly glancing as they swirl and twirl making her laugh again. [You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare because it's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep cause everything is never as it seems] crouching near the pond to swirl the water she stares at her reflection.[I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs as they tried to teach me wow to dance] turning her head to watch them buzz about she smiles before sitting down on the ground. [A foxtrot above my head, a sock-hop beneath my bed but I'll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre because I haven't slept in two days]
Watching them all fly away she pout's slightly before hearing something coming up behind her, gripping the sleeve of her Akatsuki cloak that was open and way too big for her she glances up at the man from before.
"oh, hello" she smiles holding her sleeve to her mouth while it's cupped into her fist.
"you shouldn't sit out here, something might happen to you" he states watching her stand up so she reaches his shoulder, smiling she glances at the multicoloured shades of his face.
"what's your name?" she question's with a blink while his golden orb's pierce her own.
"Zetsu" he mumbles calmly getting another cheery smile.
"it's nice to meet you Zetsu-sama, I saw you walking about earlier. Did you lose something?" she questions but the strange plant like man just shakes his head. "oh, ok. I better get back in before Deidara get's annoyed, feel free to come talk to me if you like" she smiles wandering off past him towards the base, pushing the door shut Vixen stalks about the hallway until jumping when something grips her shoulder.
"d-Deidara, you gave me a fright" she gasps with shock.
"I was wondering where you had gotten to, un" the blonde mumbles looking her over cautiously, taking her hand he pulls her towards their room swiftly. "I'll be going on a mission with Tobi so I was going to keep you in charge of the room key because the last time I gave it to someone Kakuzu stole all of my money, un" he pout's with a glare as Vixen blinks curiously.
"I can't come with you?" pouting further when she shakes his head, Tobi running through to pull at the blonde. "I'll see you later then…" she mumbles feeling the room seem darker than usual, shutting the door and turning to lean against it the brunette stares about. Sitting on the bed and looking out the window while leaning on her elbow she sigh's in a bored manner, someone entering but stopping on seeing her. Turning to look at the tanned miser she smiles, a guilty look on his face as she waves and quickly leaves the room without another word.
Cleaning the room from top to toe Vixen spins slightly while putting things in random places.[I'll watch the night turn light blue, but it's not the same without you because it takes two to whisper quietly] sitting down she glance's about with her finger's together before looking down at them gloomily. [The silence isn't so bad till I look at my hands and feel sad cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly] skimming out to the hallway and along into the empty living room she turns on the T.V to watch with her nightgown on and a hot mug of milk with sugar.
Slowly her legs curl up to one side as her toe's stretch, there was nothing interesting on but she stops to listen to a soap. [but drenched in Vanilla twilight I'll sit on the couch all night, waist deep in thought because when I think of you I don't feel so alone] she smiles after putting her T.V. on mute for the adverts, sipping from the hot up she sigh's and starts to nestle down. [When azure eyes get brighter and heavy wings grow lighter I'll taste the sky and feel alive again and I'll forget the world that I knew, but I swear I won't forget you] switching the channel over to watch something else, the door opening close by.
"shouldn't you be asleep?" someone enquires as she turns her head to look at the shark nin.
"it's only 9:15, besides…I slept the entire day to be wide awake for the watch-out" she smiles as the shark sit's down to one side of her, moving her feet to let the weasel sit down to the other side ending in her being squashed between them.
"say, if you had to choose between any of the Akatsuki. Who would you rather date?" the pearly white's shining as Kisame grins at her, Vixen glancing down to think to herself.
"I dunno.." she blink's fiddling with her finger's carefully.
"there must be someone" the Uchiha mutter's glancing at her from the corner of his eye. "there are 8 guys to choose from…" he mumbles while she starts to blush, her eyes shifting about a lot.
"well, not Pein…he's the leader and Konan is his girl anyway…Kakuzu and Hidan are either too old or religious" she mumble's thinking about it. "Zetsu…is never around" she mumble's blinking.
"there are still 4 other's…" they state with a blink watching her shift her eyes about again.
"if I had to choose…It would be a battle between Tobi because he is funny and comfy and Deidara who is sweet and nice to be around" both of them seeming to tilt their heads in silent defeat as she hums gently. "but…I don't know what Tobi looks likes and Deidara doesn't seem to take much interest.." Vixen mumbles glancing to the floor.
"you've tried?" they enquire as she nods slightly, finger's intertwining together again.
"his eyes seem to be else where a lot of the time…maybe he is with someone back at the stone village" she seems to blush and stare into space. "ah, how romantic. Far from her touch and still he loves her with all of his heart" she sigh's dreamily with a blush before leaning back to look at the ceiling. "I'm jealous of her really, having someone who loves her like that…I just hope she is as honest as Deidara is…" smiling she sigh's again.
"I sound so selfish" Vixen mumble's glancing at either of the partner's. "have you guys got anyone to look out for?" she enquires curiously as they stare into space this time.
"not really" they mutter in unisons as she sigh's along with them.
"same…well unless you count a gravestone as something to take care of" she giggles gently yawning sheepishly and pulling her gown further over to cover her PJ short's. "why were you asking anyway?" she enquires curiously.
"everyone's fighting over who you will end up dating" the shark nin points out getting a short nod and 'oh'.
"probably stay single, since I would get in their way" she smiles looking back down gloomily.
"no ones complained about you…most of us like the change in atmosphere really" Kisame points out as she blinks. "the worst of us stopped singing in the shower so everything is so much better" both men sighing thankfully. "since you kind of sing in the morning for us" they smirk as she blushes out of embarrassment. "to be honest I think you should just ask Deidara, you never know" both getting up to disappear as she sits in the living room staring down at the her empty reflection, it wouldn't hurt to try, would it?
Throughout the week of the duo's absence Vixen had found herself dodging everyone else so that the reoccurring question wouldn't pop out at her every time, hiding in her room snoozing there is a random thump every so often like a leap as the door opens. At the moment she had been lazing on Deidara's bed since she took to randomly sleeping on different bed's to play out the boredom, lifting her head to look at them she drops it again to sleep until realising something and getting up onto her knees.
"why is Vixen on senpai's bed?" Tobi enquires skipping over to give her a long missed cuddle, the brunette just mumbles sleeping to be still half asleep. Staring at the blonde she could see him glowing like a bulb as he sits fiddling with his clay again, the orange swirl skipping off.
"neih, Vix' thought you wanted to ask Deidara something" the shark calls through as he passes by with the sniggering weasel, the bomber pauses to look at her as she turns bright red and shifts her face away from sight and into her cloak. Footsteps creeping closer as she looks up at him staring down at her through the funnel, pulling her head out the stone in could fully see the brighter than a volcano red burning it's way through her cheeks and nose.
Opening her mouth to say something it is silenced by a single finger as he leans closer and kisses her gently, widening her eyes until he pulls away her head shoots back into the cloak as a giggle comes out of it. Deidara wrapping his arm's around her until she pulls her head back out for another kiss, something grumbling in the background that sounded jealous.
