"Who are you?" Oni asked looking the blond in the eye. After all, she was one of the top two interrogators in Kohona.
"I'm Deidara of the Akatsuki, un. And who are you lovely ladies?"
"I'm Oni Yamanaka, this is my twin sister Ino, and this is our best friend and segregate sister Sakura Haruno." Oni said leaning back in her chair.
"I see, un." Deidara said, also leaning back in his chair. "So, Oni-Chan, Ino-San, Sakura-San. How would you three like to join the Akatsuki?"
"I don't see why not." Oni said.
"ONI! Are you out of your mind?" Sakura asked staring wide eyed at the blond.
"Sakura, think about it. We're in jobs that we can excel any farther in, we've either lost our whole clan or a majority of it, all of the guys have either left or found someone, we'll be well protected and we'll kind of have a family again." Oni said, looking at Sakura like she was a lost puppy.
"Sakura, she has a point."
Everyone turned to look at Ino who had finally spoken up.
"I mean, you're the top medic in the whole Land of Fire and you're amazing with genjutsu. Oni is a phenomenal ANBU and the damn best torture and interrogation specialist I've ever met, hell she beat out our own dad! And me well-"
"And you're the best mind reader, you're awesome strategist, and pretty damn good at genjutsu traps." Oni interrupted with a smile on her face. "Now," Oni Started turning back to Deidara, "What do you do?" She asked pointedly while staring him down.
"Well, un, I-" He started before Sakura interrupted him.
"He makes bombs out of clay. He infuses them with chakra and then throws them at a target. To detonate he says 'Katsu'." Sakura said, smirking when everyone turned and looked at her.
"Sakura-San, do you have some sort of a fan girl/stalker crush on me, un?" Deidara asked cracking a smile.
"No. I've just seen you fight. And I saw you get your arm ripped off, twice." Sakura said glaring at him.
"Nani? When, un?" He asked, looking at her.
"When you tried to catch the Kyubi. I was on his team, you know right after you extracted the one tail." Sakura said with a satisfied smirk, she could see the gears moving in his head.
"Wait, were you that pinky who 'killed' Sasori-Dana, un?" He asked putting air quotes around "killed".
"What's with the air quotes? I totally killed him!" Sakura said, her temper starting to come through.
"Ah, so you were. And Sasori's Grandma helped if I remember correctly, un." Deidara said his eyes lighting with recognition, "Well, now I get why Sasori asked for you by name, un. Anyone who can kill him without dying themselves is pretty amazing, un."
"What do you mean 'Asked for you by name'? He's dead! I saw him die!" Sakura yelled standing up and smashing her hands down on the counter. "Explain!" The yelled furry in her eyes.
"You killed Sasori's puppet body, un, not his human one. His soul goes back to it's human body and can't be re-transferred, un." Deidara said in a lower tone, trying to keep her calm.
"Oh my God." Sakura said sitting down, eyes wide open in shock, "H-he's not dead." Sakura whispered, covering her face with her hands. "I can sense his chakra. I don't know where from but, I can feel it." Sakura said hunching over in her chair.
"Wait, Sasori? As in the puppet master Sasori?" Ino asked, eyes going wide in recognition of the name.
"Hai, and, Ino-san, he would be your partner, un. Thus you would get to see your sister all the time. Me and Sasori are best friends, un." He said with a smile.
"Oni, I'm liking this deal more and more. Sasori's kinda, like, really hot!" Ino said with her hand separating them and Deidara.
"This," Deidara said copying Ino, "does not make it a private conversation, un." He said with a chuckle.
"So?" Ino said crossing her arms and pouting. Oni let out a giggle.
"Um, I have a question." Sakura said, leaning forward on to the counter, "So, um, where do we, uh," She fumbled, trying to word it, "how do I say this?" She snapped her fingers, as it donned on her, and smirked "Where do we sign up?" Oni and Ino nodded in agreement with smiles.
"Well, un, you kinda just did." Deidara said with a happy smile. "It's nice to have more girls in the Akatsuki, un." They all smiled.
"Okay, now it's time to pack and I wanna try something." Oni said with her smile getting smaller. "Also, we have to say good bye to Hinata."
"The Hyuga, un?" Deidara asked looking at Oni.
She blushed under the pressure of his stare. "Um, yeah. She's one of our best friends."
"It's not necessary, un. You'll see her soon any ways." He said shrugging.
"Why?" Oni asked, giving him a look that urged him to talk.
"'Cause she's Itachi's Kohona informant and they're an item, un." He said, smirking at their reactions; dropped jaws and big eyes.
Ino was the first to recover. "Makes sense. Has anyone else noticed that when she's around Naruto her blush is a little forced and so is her stuttering. But he's still oblivious as always." She added rolling her eyes.
"I thought I was imagining that!" Oni exclaimed looking at her sister. "I bet if Itachi hadn't left Kohona they'd have to get married any ways." She added with a giggle. "I bet there adorable together."
"And silent." Sakura added, "I bet it's all looks and touches with those two." She said with a laugh.
"Yeah, it is. And it's gross when they attach at the face, un." Deidara shivered with disgust. "And one of them is a screamer, and I pray it's white eyes, un."
"Jesus! How long have they been together? Hinata's not the kinda girl who puts out." Oni yelped looking at Deidara wide eyed.
"Hmmm? Two years I think, un. And she's been his spy sense he left." He answered scratching his arm.
"Wow. She is a good actress! She never even let it slip around us." Ino said, baffled that the quiet girl had kept this from them.
"Yeah." Oni mumbled, slightly distracted. Deidara was checking her out, and he thought she didn't know. "Soooo… Let's go pack." Oni said, thumbing in the direction of the bed room.
"Well, we actually have three days before we have to go back, un." He said with a smile.
"What was this the first day you even had the mission?" Oni asked looking at him.
"Maybe…" He mumbled.
"Your funny. I think we can get along." Oni said with a smile.
"Is Sasori anything like you?" Ino asked looking at Deidara.
"Not particularly, un. Why?" He asked, turning his head from her sister.
