The smell of wood was thick in the air; the room was dim with candle light as the small child awoke. 'Where am I? Where's Neji?' She thought. Her head tilted a bit and her eyes squinted, trying to decipher what she was looking at. It appeared to be something like a head piece of a suit of armor in its shape but it looked like it had a piece of tattered cloth covering the bottom. She squinted her eyes, still confused at what it was; she slowly reached out to touch it.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" The thing said.

The girl screamed to the top of her lungs and jumped back, hitting the rail of what she now realized was a bed. "Wha-what are you?"

The thing came closer to her and said "I, am Sasori of the Red Sand."

"Wh-where am I?"

"You are in your new home now." Sasori said inside of his Hiruko puppet. "Now, what is your name?"

The child looked at this Sasori character, puzzled by his appearance.

"What are y-you mister Sa-sasori?

"Well?" He the impatient puppet master spat.

"H-hinata! Hinata Hyuuga." She cowered, gripping onto the bed rails behind her.

"Good….good…that's and easy name to remember," Sasori pulled out his Scorpion like tail and wrapped it around the child. Her eyes widened and she tried to climb away, though to no prevail and was of course, screaming her head off.

"Shut up girl. Now, you work for me. You see these broken puppets over there in the corner? You will repair all of them."

"B-but I don't know how to-"

"I will teach you that later," He pulled her to his face "Now, are you hungry?"

Hinata frantically squirmed under the tight grip of the tail. "N-no…"

Then the door slammed open. "Yo, Sasori where's the little brat Kakuzu was bitching about, un?" The blond questioned, then seeing the child he smirked and said "Well, hello there, un! "

That was about all poor Hinata could take, she squealed and passed out. The poor thing abducted and scared out of her mind and all in one day too.

Sasori turned his head to the moron in his door-way. "Deidara, I really hate you."

One hour later Hinata finally woke up; again she was on Sasori's bed. Next to her was a tray with tea and onigiri. She blinked. "Sa-sasori….?" She looked around for the large cloaked scorpion creature. He was nowhere to be found.

"Hello un!" The blond from earlier jumped up onto the bedrail grinning through his teeth.

"Aahhh!" Hinata screamed, falling backwards. "Who a-are you?"

The boy smiled at her. "I'm Deidara, and your Hinata right un?"

Hinata examined the boy; he couldn't be too much older than herself, maybe about three years tops. "Y-yes, I'm Hinata. She stared at him, he appeared to be...well he seemed odd. He was sitting on the bed rail and leaning back and forth just slightly.

"So Sasori no Danna is taking care of you un? Funny I'd never think of him as the fatherly type un."

Hinata opened her mouth to speak but Deidara placed an onigiri there before she had a chance. "You should eat un. You look so poor, hm."

Hinata spat out the onigiri and facing Deidara desperately asked "Where am I?"

The boy grabbed the other onigiri and nibbled on it a bit, making her wait for his answer. "You are in the hideout of the Akatsuki un." He continued eating, leaving her yet again waiting. "I," He said proudly "Am the youngest member of the Akatsuki hm." The blond beamed.

"Now, Danna tells me you are going to be working for him now am I right un?"

Hinata thought for a moment and slowly nodded her head. She really did have no geometric idea where she was and odds were she would never succeed in escaping, especially with that wooden scorpion thing lurking around. Plus it would probably be better off for her to stay; her very life could be at stake if she attempted to leave.

She felt a sudden poke on her forehead. "Hello, anyone there hm?" The boy poked her again.

Hinata flinched, looking at the boy again she said "How are you a m-member of an organization, y-you're not much older than m-me."

Giving her a bored stare Deidara remarked "But I'm stronger than you un."

She remained quiet, and feeling a bit upset she started to tear up. "Wow, stop it un! I didn't mean to make you cry hm!" He patted her on the back of her shoulder. "Please stop crying hm. I'm sorry un!"

Then poor Deidara nearly suffocated, Hinata jumped up and grabbed him, wrapping her arms around his waist and crying into his stomach. Deidara's only thought was 'What the hell?'

"Deidara!" Sasori's voice boomed as he entered the room, making Deidara jump. "What are you doing you little brat?"

"Nothing un, I swear on it hm!"

Sasori's shadow crept closer as Deidara panicked trying to detach Hinata from him.

"Why is she crying? What have you done you little pipsqueak?"

Sasori's face appeared from the shadows, this time he was outside of Hiruko.

His voice said it all, he was irritated and in no damn mood to be fucked with.

Deidara finally escaped Hinata's iron grip and ran from Sasori. Though it didn't work out all that well.

Held by the back of his shirt, Deidara was suspended in the air like a piñata by Sasori. Placing his free hand on his forehead the puppet man grumbled "What the hell did you do to her Deidara?"

"I didn't do anything un!" The child protested. "Why the hell do you always have to blame me for shit hm?

Sasori just stared at his pint sized teammate. "Do I really need to answer that you baka?"

Deidara just folded his arms and grunted. Sasori glanced back at the child on the bed; she had stopped crying a while ago, now with a curious look on her face, she watched him and the baka.

Sasori sighed. 'This could take a while.' He thought.

Gripping the blond tighter, he opened his door and gladly tossed the tiny brat out.

Turning to face Hinata he sighed and mentally cursed Hidan for making him take care of the runt. 'When the hell did I become the damn babysitter? First bomb boy now little miss stutter.' He groaned 'I'll have to get rid of that before I skin her to pieces from hearing it.'

Walking over to the silent child, the puppet master closed his eyes and knew that this was not going to be simple.

Yet silently to himself he uttered 'You're a real bitch Hidan.

Well I must admit, I'm a little scepticle of this chapter. Its more my style to do a time skip but I kinda felt that this extra chap was needed so please let me know what you thought.
