Chapter eleven is up and running! I held onto this longer making it better and changing the things that sucked. This is for all of you who have read and continue to read this thing. Personally I enjoyed writing it so I'm sincerely hoping you enjoy reading it. As always read and review..tell me what you think! I'm also looking for a beta..someone who might prod me into doing my stories faster. If you're interested..PM me and we'll chat! I'm out! Oh yeah and one more thing..this story is rated M for a reason.


Excitement was in the air and all around the household. The hours ticked by in preparation and Tenten stayed out of the way. She did this by soaking in the bathtub. Steam filled the room as said woman lounged in the relaxing water, her mind the complete opposite.

I am a Konoha kunoichi, he is Akatsuki. We will fight eventually and I have to protect Kagino.

As much as she didn't want to admit it these things were fact and if she had any more personal interactions with Deidara she was sure to lose it. The cold fingers of dread exploded inside of her causing the utter need to flee to roar alive. There was no way to know how the night would turn out she had thought to warn someone but..

That stupid Tomi never made plans to meet up in Skinagwa before we split. Still he's got to be close maybe he all ready knows?

It was a slim hope and not something Tenten was willing to stake her life on. For the first time Tenten was alone in a predicament she wasn't sure how to handle. There was no way to know what he wanted. That wasn't entirely true he had shown that he wanted her.

But too what extent would he go to? If it was just for a good lay he could certainly find enough women. The man's attractive, so why come after her? It's probably a game to him, trying my patience, seeing if I'll give. Screw that!

Feeling the presence of others before they knocked, Tenten got out of the tub and dried off. The maids were waiting for her to get all primped and proper then head out to a wedding she didn't even care about.

It was just like back at her previous mission where somebody tried to douse her in make-up. Tenten once more allowed a bit of lip gloss to her lips. This time though it was a very shiny plump red. When she looked into the mirror she wanted to gag.

Relenting for the sole purpose that the shiny gloss alone would look ridiculous, she closed her eyes feeling them swipe on eye shadow. Her mouth fell open, for there in the mirror was a woman who could easily be read as a sex kitten.

Her sultry red lips beckoned men while the shimmering purple eye shadow drew them into her eyes. Yeah, Tenten didn't recognize herself. Quickly she was ushered into another room and a hair stylist got to work unknotting her long locks.

"I had a special request from Kagino-sama not too long ago." The woman giggled as she retrieved something from the vanity mirror. "He said that you would look absolutely stunning with this." The handkerchief was removed and what it revealed had her senses on overdrive.

"I think he's into you, you know." Tenten wasn't listening instead she expanded her chakra searching. Looking for the man that lurked in her dreams at night. The comb was as long as a shuriken and coated with silver glitter. It was her comb the one from before...before... The woman twisted her hair up and into it, her motions the same as...

It's not possible...he didn't recognize me. Oh shit. Could he have known my reactions? Was he testing me in the changing room? He had to be! He knew it was her!

"Kagino-sama even told me to put a few strands on the left side of your face. He's such a visualist don't you think?" Tenten jumped to her feet right after she was free, she had to leave and NOW. "Where are you going?"

Tenten slipped back into her room and collected a scroll, one that held her weapons. She had switched it over but didn't think she'd have to use it so soon on her mission. Her fingers brushed the comb, the one she had left behind. The one Deidara peeled from her hair as he kissed her, touched her, set her body to burn with a few smutty words.

He knows! Gods he KNOWS!

There was no longer a play-it-safe method, if he struck out she'd fight him. That was all she could do, Kagino came into view. For now she'd give him the first move. As Tenten hooked her arm into Kagino's she hoped that his first move wouldn't be her last one.

--

Every since the wedding ceremony started Tenten was tense. She could feel the eyes of every man in the room on her and that only spurred her into paranoia. Her kimono hugged her form and she brushed her legs together. There wasn't any place to put her scroll without it being obvious.

So with a few wrappings Tenten tied it on her inner thigh knowing nobody would be that bold to look for it. Well one man might and she searched the crowd for him. Nobody stuck out to her and she could only assume he had taken up a disguise.

The wedding was over when the groom popped open a bottle of champagne and declared: "It's time to party!" The mood had changed drastically from respectively quiet to incredibly loud. Kagino left her side to collect matching glasses of champagne from a passing waiter.

Unsure of herself Tenten waited near their seats as seconds ticked by. Kagino's presence scared the lesser men off, with him gone it was only a matter of time. Her eyes landed on an approaching man before she turned up her nose at him. He halted measuring his chances before shrugging and walking off.

"Excuse me miss." Tenten whirled to face the man almost shocked at how quiet he had been. His hand clasped around hers as he brought it to his lips. "You must be Tenten, Kagino has spoken much of you." He licked his lips for effect, placing a kiss upon the back of her captured appendage. He was bold...too bold, that only meant..

"Ahh brother! How nice of you to show!" Kagino handed her the glasses as they shared a great hug together. Tenten drained her glass, she would need the courage to be bold. The man pulled a woman to his side who blushed majorly.

"This is my wife Kagino! I'm sure you haven't met her, she's very shy." Well that goes that theory, it was one thing to be one person but no way to be two. Kagino kissed the woman's hand and she blushed even more, then his eyes slid to hers.

"I see you have met my lady friend, Tenten-san." His brother nodded and both men noticed the empty glass in her right hand. "My Tenten-san, I never took you for a drinker." Kagino laughed along with his brother and Tenten downed the other glass.

Champagne was nothing much on the terms of things that can get you drunk. Spiked punch had more of a kick then the bubbly substance.

"I'll go find some more for you, Kagino-san." She retreated taking the empty glasses with her. A waiter passed her and she plopped them down on his tray, taking the two full glasses he had in her hands. One she downed and placed it back with him. "Thank you."

The waiter looked both surprised and impressed before bowing lightly and taking off to serve others. A fast song came on and Tenten couldn't believe the countless bodies gyrating together. Speaking of bodies...

"That's quite a sight to see, a woman as petite as you downing a drink without even blinking." Man number two smiled down at her and Tenten merely located Kagino. He was showing himself as if he were be pleased to have her socializing.

"I'm not a woman of delicacies, these wimpy drinks do not hold my interest." The man laughed and Tenten's voice was sultry, like silk and sex.

"Truly a woman such as yourself would like to accompany me for a few rounds of sake?" Tenten cocked her eyebrow and sipped from the champagne flute, a sly smirk donning her features.

"You are bold, you've yet to know my name as I have yet to hear yours." The man's features looked taken back and Tenten mentally laughed. This was power, the utilization of a woman's wiles.

"Ah forgive me and I've yet to learn if you're here alone. Tell me are you?" Shaking her head Tenten mentally laughed as the sweat rolled down his neck.

"No, I'm here with Kagino, he's been so kind to me." Casually sipping again she took notice of the emotion his eyes had.

"Ahh..Kagino-sama? You're his date? Forgive me my lady I was too bold." He bowed dissolving into the moving dancers surrounding them. He wasn't bold enough meaning he wasn't the man she was looking for.

--

Deidara smirked from his position. That man had approached her and looked as though he'd take Tenten to dance. But one mention of Kagino's name and he retreated like a whipped dog. She had been sly about it to. Casually remarking about her date, even dropping the honorific to make it seem more personal.

Deidara heard the drop in her voice, the words she spoke made all the sexier by her appeal and tone. Scanning her now Deidara couldn't help but feel a hell of a lot hotter. The kimono clung to her like a second skin leaving so much covered but a whole lot more to the imagination.

And by the looks of the men around him he wasn't the only one appreciating her outfit. Men with dates turned their heads to get her too notice them but she never did. She was searching the room and Deidara's grin grew. She was persistent about finding him and it filled him with exhilaration at her unable to do so

A series of slow songs would be played and at that point he'd move in for the kill. All he had to do now..was sit back and wait.

--

She had danced with several men during the slow songs but none were him. She knew this because of so many factors: They held her too far away, their hands stayed where they should and not to mention the fact that they looked everywhere but at her!

Fed up Tenten was heading straight for Kagino when her momentum was used against her and she was pulled into strong arms. Her gasp was cut short when those same arms traced up her body to come back down and encircle her midriff.

Her hands gripped his biceps and she felt them jump at the contact. There wasn't an inch of space, her breasts pressed into his muscular pecs and she bit back the groan of protest. That hurts! She didn't have to look up, didn't have to breathe his name. They swayed to the music and both enemies danced.

"Hiding in the shadows I never knew you were a coward Dei--" He swept her across the floor and then crushed her to him again. There was a look in his eyes that Tenten didn't trust, even with his transformation in place.

"I'm no coward I was merely laughing at your useless attempt to find me." Tenten growled low in her throat but kept her features from betraying her.

"Is that right? Then when you transformed into Kagino you were just testing my reactions?" He pushed against her once more, one hand dropping, pressing searching. His fingers touched her inner thigh and she jerked out of his grasp. He curled her into him before whispering in her ear.

"It looks like you were preparing for a fight. was that all you were preparing for?" Tenten turned to face him, fire in her eyes.

"Yes." But before any more words escaped her his body was back flush against hers.

"Your body is reacting to me." He swayed his hips and she could feel his hardened need. "Just as my body is reacting to you." Tenten straightened at the blue eyes looking back at her. They were intense, sharp, waiting, devouring the moment's details and in the back of her throat she whimpered.

He leaned forward and held her so she couldn't move. From the way he moved she thought he was going to kiss her but instead he bypassed her lips and a warm tongue traced across her neck. "Five seconds Tenten, it's all I'm giving you to get away. If you don't I'm going to do something I really..really want to do."

He leaned away from her and all protests died in her throat. So intense, so needy, so sexually aroused, wanting, hoping, pleading with her for something Tenten could only grasp the meaning of. Had he not been holding her so tightly she would have been floored by his open expression of need for her. "Five."

Realizing time was wasting away, she fled. Through the throngs of people and leaving out the open doors, she hit the cool night air and didn't stop running. Deidara smirked, all was going well.

--

Tenten waited for the moment where Deidara was going to come bursting through the trees. Even when the houses thinned out he hadn't come after her.

I was right! The bastard's just messing with me!

With her anger as a blanket from the cold Tenten took a step forward as a shadow befell her. Snapping up to attention she relaxed, the eagle mask was too much of a give away.

"Tell me do scavengers hunt just as well in the nighttime?" There was a muffled laugh before Tomi motioned for her to walk with him. She complied and both headed in the direction she had run from.

"My part of the mission is complete and you're doing very well with keeping Kagino safe. I think we'll stick around for a day or two and I'll come to the household to get you."

"Just like that and we're out of here?" Tomi nodded. "That was quick."

"And boring, did you know that a Hummingbird's flight speed can average twenty five to thirty miles per hour, and can dive up to 60 miles per hour?" A blank stare was his answer as he held up a bird book.

"Bird watching?" He shrugged and opened it up.

"Don't forget..a few days." And then he was gone, nothing but smoke gave away his even being there. For good reason to, the complex was just over the next hill. She quickly got inside but kept away from the ballroom. No need to run into anymore people tonight.

Her borrowed bedroom was her sanctuary as she stripped, set her folded clothes aside and slipped beneath the covers. She unwrapped the scroll and shoved it beneath her pillow, dream land soon took her away.

--

Everything was set..Kagino was put to rest, the party was still going and even the idiot Tobi was busy on his own little mission. Deidara moved from one building to the next, his target within one of these buildings. Her chakra was steady so he figured she was asleep. Not for long though, that's for sure.

Finally coming upon the room she was in, Deidara dropped to the ground and peered inside. He would've opened the window and jumped right in had he not seen a metal wire tied to the lock and disappearing inside a dresser.

Boobie trap. Ahh seems like she wasn't as unprotected as I thought.

Leaping off and into an unlocked door he found himself in the kitchen. With his destination in mind and the reception going, he easily made it to her room. Nobody was there to stop him as he turned her door handle and found it locked.

Fine, she didn't go to sleep without having anything else in mind. Besides that would have been far too easy!

He removed the gloves from his palm and placed a small wad of clay into it's mouth. Seconds passed and then a spider hopped out, crawling into the lock hole.

"Katsu." A popping sound was heard and the lock imploded, it was a faint sound but she'd probably hear it. Quickly he opened the door and just as quietly..shut it behind him. The room was dark but near the window moonlight pooled underneath the sill.

First priority for any ninja was to disarm your enemy immediately. His exposed eye scanned the room before landing on her. If she was paranoid she'd have something close, something in reach. Tenten rolled over and he noticed the edge of an item under her pillow.

Clipping the trap wire to the window was simple, stealing a scroll from under her pillow would be a bit more difficult. Crossing the room he leaned forward and pulled the scroll slowly out of there. With inches to go she rolled over and almost hit his arm. Had he not pulled back, scroll in hand, she definitely would have woken then.

With a relieved sigh he slowly retreated to a chair by her dresser. Dropping the disguise right after making it into her room, Deidara put the heavy Akatsuki cloak on the chair. With a chuckle he patted the scroll and set it down on the cloak.

Last time he never got the chance to remove even his shirt, this time though... The cotton shirt hit the floor and a startled gasp came from behind him. In the darkness she couldn't see his smirk but her startled expression showed she knew he was there. Her hand was flipping her pillow up as she searched for her weapons scroll.

"I wondered what would happen if a kunoichi who loved her weapons was suddenly parted with them." She stopped and faced him, she wasn't running...yet and Deidara took it as a good sign.

--

No way this isn't happening!

She had been dreaming of him again and as a silent comfort her hand sought out the security of her weapons. It was when her hand brushed nothing that she started to wake. For a moment she thought she was still dreaming when she saw his silhouette in the corner.

Then he started to remove his clothes and Tenten gasped. Flipping the pillow up she found the bastard had indeed taken her weapons and his remark only strengthened that thought. Gathering her courage a glare surfaced making him pause in his approach.

If he touched her she would be a goner, so that only meant she had to keep him at a distance. What better way to do that but keep him talking? She opened her mouth but he moved into the moonlight, shaking his head.

Gods he's hot!

Tenten stomped out that thought, his looks were tempting and his expression was predatory.

Just like last time!

"Why me? Why not someone sleazy!? Don't fuck with me bastard! I won't..I refuse to be another notch on your bedpost!" Deidara grinned outright at her as his hands touched down on the bed. One knee raised and the sexy image of a half dressed Deidara crawling towards her was such a turn on.

Stop it!

But all thought processes stopped at his sensually suggestive words.

"Why be only one notch Tenten...when together we can make many?" That was it..the catalyst to the lust rearing up inside of her. The feeling slamming against her well placed hold..the one she tried so hard to keep contained. Her feet hit the floor as she ran for the door.

She didn't give a fuck if she was only in her underwear, she had to leave! But that option was closed when her body was trapped against his larger one.

"Let me go you bastard!"

"Never." His hands were on her and everywhere! She could feel fingertips, nipping teeth and greedy tongues all over her naked skin. She bit her lip and tasted copper on her tongue. One bra strap broke as a hand enveloped both breast and areola. His finger massaged the skin as his tongue flicked her nipple.

"Stop it!" The other hand descended, licking a wet pathway to her panties. She was far from immobile as she bucked, kicked and elbowed at him in his hold. Gripping his wrists tightly she stopped them from moving but not the wet tongues that still messed with her senses.

He yanked free the hand not on her breast and pushed her hair all over her right shoulder. He pulled her up and into his body as a hot mouth bit into her flesh. Tenten could no longer feel the carpet beneath her feet but still tried to levy away from him. He nibbled his way to her neck and sucked the flesh there into his mouth.

A strangled cry broke free before she clamped her mouth shut. Warm blood dripped down past her chin. Apparently fed up, Deidara tossed her onto the bed pinning her body with his seconds later. She barely had time to register the motion before his body stilled above hers.

Sky blues eyes took in every inch of flushed skin and the evidence of her resistance. A dark look passed over his features before a smooth hand touched the side of her cheek. Torn between pulling away and pushing closer, Tenten remained still.

His face lowered and his tongue licked the blood from her lips. The hand on her cheek tangled in her hair, forcing her to arch as he sucked the blood off her skin. She had to make him stop! If his hands went any further, anything at all she would lose herself in him!

"This is wrong." He paused and that dark look came back, his appearance was that of a hawk eyeing prey. From the pouch at his side a kunai was gripped and pressed to her neck. His weight was supported by her body as his face hovered over hers.

"Get all your protests out now because I don't want to hear them when I take you." Shakily she found her voice.

"Take me?" His hips ground hard into hers and a gasp passed her lips. His body was indeed reacting to hers splendidly.

"If you had any protests it wouldn't matter soon anyway." He pulled back enough and eyed her bra cladded breasts.

"Why not?" The kunai cut through the middle of her bra before he carelessly flung it to the floor.

"Because you'll only be moaning." With that said his hands revealed her perky breasts and intertwined behind her back. Forcing her against his mouth, off the bed and with nothing to cling to but himself. Which was fine by her because she was indeed lost within his ministrations.

It was her turn for a hand to tangle within his hair as the other held onto his back, the short nails digging into his skin. Before she even knew what was happening she was slammed back onto the bed as Deidara moved to her lips. She refused his entrance before his snarled reply came.

"Release." Without any alternatives she did and he forced his way around. His kiss was forceful, meant to dominate her very existence and it caused her to grow even wetter between her legs. He moved down her body and with his kisses, his touches she arched into him every time.

Tenten moaned and responded like a well played instrument and Deidara was her tune. Two fingers breached the only fabric she had left and probed her opening. Her protests were muffled by his lips overtaking hers.

"These lips up here should take some advice from these lips down here." Whatever comment she thought up, whatever the hell she was going to say died when he began to move. It was a steady in, out but everything was so amplified that he might as well have been fucking her.

"Ahh! Oh.." Deidara watched her face searching for any pain. There was nothing there to give him that idea.

She's experienced..then this next part might not rile her up as much.

His movements became harder as he moved down her body placing open-mouthed kisses on the way. Her string thong tied at the side and Deidara undid it with his teeth. That flimsy garment was enough for him to second guess if she had other ideas than fighting.

It didn't matter what she was planning for Deidara is the one leading her. Her insides were tight and hot and just so tempting around his two fingers. She clenched him as if she were a virgin but he had found no evidence of such a thing. Her head was thrown back, mouth opened and eyes screwed shut. Deidara cursed that he had left his scope back in the hotel room.

His left hand pushed her leg out more as he settled comfortably in position. He kept his fingers thrusting inside her, the slicking sound growing louder as his tongue brushed her clitoris. Her right leg smacked his head and momentarily stunned, she took the opportunity to scoot away from him.

Deidara glared up at her one hand holding the side of his head. She was flat against the wall her eyes showing so much: confusion, arousal but most of all she was worried.

Had I read wrong? Assumed too much?

With a quick hand he had her body back against his, her thighs on top of his. With a chaste kiss he spoke, moving down her body again.

"Relax Tenten I only want to make you reach your peak." Without even waiting..because God knows he couldn't..Deidara was right back licking her...tasting her. Having her moan and writhe and say his name like that! There was no way he'd let her get away from him. No way in hell he was ever letting anyone get the chance to do this to her again!

Tenten tore a fold of sheet in her teeth using it to muffle the sounds that surely would have drawn attention. Her body was so filled with a feeling of euphoria that she had never known. Everything in her body was winding up, retracting, sweating out her form.

Deidara suckled her clit into his mouth and her teeth ripped the sheet. She sought more fabric as a primal scream had her whole body in motion. Deidara is talented of this there wasn't a doubt. Many times his name was spoken as his motions refused to cease. It felt as if he was picking up the pace but Tenten wasn't sure.

"Tenten..gods..everything about you could send a man over the edge! Your scent, your taste these responses you give me so freely! I want to be deep within you...I want to have you like few have before...I want to drive you to the edge! Let me...let me." His words were spoken against her and she writhed and moaned as they shot straight up her spine.

He went back to showing her instead of telling and his mouth was sin to her duty-filled world. The words were lost in her scrambled thought processes but the need was there. She could hear him begging, pleading with her to be in HER. Tenten never thought it possible, she was resisting why? Hesitating for what reason again? Everything was muddled and the predominant thing in the haze was him.

"Yes.." Her words were spoken in a gasp and Deidara tensed for her to be more clearer. "Yes!" Deidara grasped the waistband of his jeans and popped open the first button. He didn't need a prod, a shove into action. He didn't heed the fact that she spoke it through sheer need of him. A yes was a yes. The zipper opened and both occupants froze as someone knocked on the door.

Deidara wrapped his body around hers trapping her against him. He buried his face in her shoulder and bit into her flesh to keep from groaning.

"Tenten-san? Are you okay? That man you were dancing with told me you weren't feeling well. Should I call the doctor?" Tenten tried to move but Deidara wouldn't budge.

"I'm fine Kagino-san."

"Gosh Tenten your voice! I'll go get the doctor right away just wait a few minutes!" Both of them

heard his departure and Deidara cursed.

"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" With each exclamation his fist hit the bed and Tenten wasn't sure what to do. Reality was a harsh splash of cold water to the face. He yanked away from her body and a menacing glare was aimed at the door. "I should go and show him not to interrupt me!"

"No!" Her arms were held out and Deidara didn't hesitate to clutch onto her again. "Don't...I have to protect him."

"There's too many distractions or interruptions when it comes to you woman! It'll just be easy if you came to me." He pulled back from her and met her eyes. "You don't know how much I've waited to have you against me again!" Tenten found herself sitting on his lap, secure in the embrace of her enemy.

"I'll find you..I'll hunt you down! When I find you again I'm going to fuck you. I don't care where, in the forest, in a hotel room on a fucking dance floor!" His lips were on her breasts and she was shocked into silence by his audacity.

"Deidara." Her head was tilted forward, lips caressing hers.

"Say it again." His mouth was all over her and she felt the embers turn to flames.

"Deidara!"

"I'll have you say my name like that! When we meet again I will have you, that I promise you. Just remember..you said YES." His promise was sealed with a kiss that threw them higher into bliss. Seconds later him and his clothing was gone and Tenten wanted to sob with her unfulfilled release.

Instead she pulled on a bath robe and dived under the covers, taking her undergarments with her, as the door opened.

Damn them..but bless my soul..his words were enough to get me all riled up!

--

The hotel room was dark except for a light that shown from under a closed door. The shower could be heard running and the only occupant could be found there. Deidara was just coming down from his orgasm, his breathing all ready settled back to normal.

His shoulders slumped as he used the shower wall for support. The shower's spray rained down his hair and continued to river down his back, straight to his feet and then the drain. His shoulders slumped leaving the tension to be swallowed away.

"That's the second time that woman has made me use my hand." He removed his hand from his shaft, giving it a thoughtful look. "At least you're still around." Finishing with his shower was much easy now that he had taken care of his predominant needs.

Stepping out of the shower, the water was shut off and Deidara wiped the water droplets off with a towel. Brushing out his hair, he thought of her hair. How it felt when he wrapped his hands deeply into it. Her hair smelt fresh and he knew that she had bathed before the wedding for it felt cold on his fingertips.

Tenten was a hot little number, moaning and crying out like that. Her eyes were so honest, open..as if there was no secrets she could have. Which Deidara knew from personal experience was a lie. She was trained in ninja arts and there was no way she didn't have any secrets.

Gripping the edge of the counter, Deidara felt his cock tighten at a whole different thought. When he had begun to eat her out, her eyes were wide and innocent. It was as if she didn't know what was happening. Kunoichi were trained to seduce if nothing else worked.

Maybe that's what she is here for...to seduce me to bed and then kill me?

Deidara turned the thought away.

It can't be true, she was far to open with her expressions to be sent for that purpose. If that was the case they would have sent an older woman with more experience to do it.

Finished with combing his tresses, Deidara opened the bathroom door.

Besides, she all ready told me she had to protect Kagino..only someone who wasn't worried about hiding anything would make a slip up like that.

Tenten tore whatever self control he had left all too shreds. He had brushed his teeth twice all ready just to get the taste and the remembrance of her taste out of his mouth. Deidara sank into bed, his arms behind his head and his hair fanned out on the pillow.

Much like Tenten's hair had been spread across her shoulders. Thinking back now Deidara specifically remembered that her mouth tasted like champagne. And he was certain, now more than ever, that she was something he couldn't give up and vehemently refused to give away. Slipping off into sleep Deidara made his promise to her true...many times over.
