Guess what everyone? It's chapter three!
In exchange for this chapter being so long, with such a short wait between chapters, I might take a break from writing, only for a few days. I'm sorry about my spelling and grammer mistakes.. Don't mind them, please..
Deidara: Why am I always the one who has to say it?
Endless.Nonsence: -glares at Deidara-
Deidara: Fine, fine, yeah. Endless.Nonsence does not own Naruto. Happy, yeah?
Endless.Nonsence: -nods-, smiling Yes, I am.
Chapter Three:
Deidara carried Ino down the dark, damp halls of the Akatsuki Headquarters. The halls were long, and twisted, like a maze. There were many doors along the stone walls, but most of them were just for show, if opened, it would open to the same stone wall. Deidara untied, and unblindfolded Ino as soon as he walked inside of the Headquarters, and yet, she slept through everything, just as he had hoped. He looked down the hall, to see the four-way fork on the hallway. He looked down the four hallways, and than back down the one he had been walking down, and he walked into the centre of the cross-over, only to vanish into thin air.
Deidara appeared infront of a large wooden door, and backed into it, pushing it open. He did not want to wake the sleeping chunin in his arms. Deidara looked down the dimly-lit hallway, expertly knowing exactly where he was going. After a few more twisting hallways, Deidara opened a door, just like he did with the larger wooden one. He smiled, and sighed, as he walked into his bedroom. There was a large bed, positioned against the far wall, and beside it, in the corner, was a small bedside table, with a large black book on it. Deidara wrote down all of his missions in it, just so he could check them off, and brag to everyone how many missions he had been on while he was in the Akatsuki. He smiled to himself, knowing he had another one to be checked off. Deidara took a few steps towards his bed, and placed the sleeping girl onto it carefully. He silently walked over to the large black book, and flipped through many pages, until he found the current mission. He checked it off, and looked at the next one. It clearly read 'Set a trap for Inoichi Yamanaka, using Ino Yamanaka as bait, than kill him.'
Deidara looked at the sleeping girl, and shook his head. Akatsuki members are supposed to be ruthless, and dangerous. Why was he feeling so hesitant? Was he sick? No.. He felt perfectly fine. Except, he could not explain these feelings he had, whenever the Yamanaka girl smiled. Deidara shrugged it off, as he set the book back down.
There was a knock on the open door, as a tall, brown haired boy, wearing an orange mask stood there. The mask covered his whole face, except his right eye. The boy waved at Deidara, and pointed at Ino. "You got her! Good job Deidara-Senpai!"
Deidara ran over to him, and slapped the boy on the back of the head. "Shut up! Can't you see the girl is sleeping? Yeah!"
The boy stammered back. "I'm sorry Senpai.. I didn't know you cared." The boy said in a whipser.
Deidara looked at Ino, than back at the boy. "I do not care for this girl, un. She is just a mission. I just don't want her waking up. Now, Tobi.. Get out."
Tobi sighed. "You said you would train with me today! Come on Deidara-Senpai! Please?!" Tobi said eagerly, practically jumping up and down on the spot. He really respected Deidara, and wanted his opinion on his newest fighting style.
Deidara shook his head. "I have a mission, yeah. Tobi, if you can't respect Leaders orders, you should not be apart of the Akatsuki. Yeah." He knew it was harsh, but it had to be said. Everyone else in the Akatsuki didn't go out and train while looking after a hostage. It just wasn't right. Deidara was just about to close the door, when he saw his partner look to the ground in shame. "Look Tobi, yeah. I'm sorry, but it is true. I cannot go training with you, because I have to watch the girl. Yeah."
Tobi looked up, and hugged Deidara tightly. "I know Deidara-Senpai. When is the killing dated, and where is it?"
Deidara thought back to the note that he had left Inoichi Yamanaka. Even though it was only a few hours ago, he almost forgot. "It is a week from now, near the Village of Taki, yeah."
Tobi nodded. "I want to help you.."
Deidara nodded slowly. Truth was, Deidara needed the help. "You only watch the girl. I want to do the killing, un. Oh, but be warned. If Inoichi brings any reinforcements, we have to kill the girl immediatly un." Deidara was hesitant saying these words. Deidara felt this weird turning feeling in his stomach. He couldn't have any feelings towards the blonde kunoichi, could he? Deidara shook his head clear of these thoughts. Impossible. Akatsuki members can not fall in love. They could get killed for saying the word out of context.
Tobi nodded, and looked at Ino. "She is waking up, Senpai."
Deidara turned around quickly, looking at the girl. Tobi was right. Her blue eyes fluttered open, and she stared at the two Akatsuki members. She jumped slightly, as if she were suprised that she was there. Than she relaxed slightly, sitting up. She stretched out her arms, and turned her body, placing her bare feet on the floor, but she didn't stand. She smiled at Tobi, as if happy to meet the new dangerous criminal. "Morning."
Deidara smiled, and walked over to the bed, and sat beside her. "Ino, this is my partner, Tobi. We have been partners since Sasori-Danna died..Yeah."
Ino side-glanced at Deidara, and was looking at his hands, as if there was something written on them. She leant over, and noticed two small mouthes, on the middle of each palm, grinning at her. She jumped back, and backed against the wall. "What the heck are those?"
Deidara shook his head. "These are my hands, yeah. Don't they teach you anything in the Leaf Village?"
"No.. Those! On your hands!" Ino was half disgusted, half intrigued.
"Ooh. Those are what feed the chakra into my creations, yeah. Watch." Deidara reached into the small pouch on his waist, and the small mouth on his right hand licked some up, and engulfed it into the hand. It seemed to be chewing it up, until the mouth spit it out. Deidara just gave it a simple squeeze, and the clay clump, turned into a small spider. Deidara threw it onto the ground. "Tobi, demonstration. Yeah."
Tobi shook his head. "Not again Senpai.. The last one hurt!"
"Thats the point, un." He said, as the small spider crawled towards him. "Ino, watch my art closely, you will like this. You tend to like fire. Yeah" Deidara made the handsign of the tiger, and simply stated. "Art is a bang, yeah" The small clay spider made a large explosion infront of Tobi, who jumped up, and ran down the hall.
Ino clapped slightly, laughing at Tobi's reaction. "What do you mean, I tend to like fire?" She gave Deidara a suspisious look, and crossed her arms.
"Well, you seemed to enjoy watching Sasuke Uchiha practice his fire jutsus, yeah." Deidara said, looking back at her.
Ino looked at the black sheets of the bed. Deidara was right.
Flashback
Ino was walking along the road, when she noticed some light coming from the Uchiha House. She decided to investigate. She walked into the backyard, where she saw a tall, raven haired boy. She recognised him as Sasuke Uchiha. Her heart raced, and she took a few steps closer, onto to see a pink-haired Kunoichi running down the dock. She hugged the Uchiha tightly, and kissed him.
Ino couldn't bear to watch this anymore. She now knew that it was Sakura that Sasuke had liked all along, not her. Ino turned, and ran, as fast as she could, to her room, so nobody would see her cry.
End Flashback
Ino felt tears beginning to form in her eyes at the thought of the Uchiha and the Haruno together. Ino really liked Sasuke, but, if she showed this weakness to the Akatsuki, would they exploit it? She wiped her eyes, and stared at the stone walls.
Deidara looked into the Yamanaka girls eyes, and noticed the sadness, and pain hidden in them. "You love that kid, don't you? Un."
Ino shook her head, still not looking away from the wall. "No.. Not anymore."
"You don't have to lie to m-" Deidara was cut off, by a hurt voice.
"I'm not lying to you, Deidara. He has hurt me too much.."
Deidara nodded. "I transported your things into that corner over there, get dressed, and I'll be waiting for you outside the room, yeah. Oh, and if you're not out in ten minutes, I'm coming in to fetch you.. I'm starving, and I can't wait too much longer for food. Yeah." Deidara stood up, and walked over to the door quickly. Before he closed the door, he heard Ino standing up, and walking towards the corner that Deidara pointed out. He closed the door, and leaned against the wall, looking down the hall.
Ino picked up her clothing, and smiled. She quickly changed. She noticed the fishnets and a long purple ribbon laying on the ground, and picked them up. "He didn't forget any of the little details.." She grinned, and put the fishnets on over her knees, and elbows, and pulled her hair tightly into a high ponytail, leaving the bangs hang down over her right eye. She sighed, as a small peice of hair fell out of the ponytail on the left side by her ear. She reached into the pouch on her shirt, and smiled, as she found her usual purple clip. She pinned her hair up, and walked towards the door.
Deidara heard her footsteps, and waited for her to open the door. He held her ninja headband tightly in his hand, because he had forgotten to give it to her earlier. He saw the door open, and he held out the band to her. "Sorry, I forgot about this, yeah."
Ino looked down at it, and shook her head. "It.. Doesn't go with my new outfit.." She lied. That wasn't the real reason she didn't wear it anymore. The true reason, is because when Sasuke left, Ino felt as if she betrayed the village, because she still loved him. So she stopped wearing her headband about a half a year later.
"You should at least keep it with you, yeah." Deidara had never realized she had no headband on when he was planning how to catch her, how could he have not seen it?
Ino took it, and nodded. "Thanks.." She shoved it into her Kunai pouch, and walked down the hall.
"Ino, you're going the wrong way, yeah. The kitchen is this way.." Deidara pointed the opposite way that Ino was walking. He walked over to her, and grabbed her hand, and pulled her the way of the kitchen.
Ino shrugged, and looked down at his hand, and suddenly, she felt something soft, and wet on her palm. "Deidara.." He ignored her. "Deidara! Your hand is licking me!" She tried to pull her hand away, but Deidara just laughed.
"Sorry, yeah. They tend to have a mind of thier own." Deidara released her hand, and pointed ahead. "Take a left up there." After a few long hallways, they finally arrived at another large door. "There are at least five other Akatsuki members in this room, don't be afraid, they won't hurt you, un."
"Pfft. Like I'm scared of a few S-Class criminals. They won't do anything to me." Ino said. She was afraid, but, she knew that she was needed for something, and if she was needed to be dead, Deidara would have killed her already. Ino pushed the door open gracefully, and walked into the room. She saw at least six other Akatsuki members. Three were sitting around a table, playing a card game, one was at a large fridge, and two were sitting on a large couch on the other side of the room, talking to eachother, but as soon as Ino opened the door, everyone turned to look at her. Ino looked at each one carefully, as Deidara walked in behind her.
"You hungry, un?" He whispered in her ear.
Ino shook her head, unwilling to speak infront of everybody.
Deidara shrugged, and walked over to the fridge. "Kisame, stop eating all the meat, yeah! Zetsu will go after you if you eat all of his food, un." He said, looking at the large Akatsuki member by the fridge.
Ino looked over at him. He was tall, and had spiked blue hair, and a large sword strapped to his back. That was all Ino could see, since he was facing away from her. Her gaze turned to the three playing cards. There was what looked like a giant venus fly trap, wraped in an Akatsuki cloak, it was closed, and yet still playing cards. This confused Ino, as she examined the other two. One was tall, and had long raven coloured hair, who looked strangely like Sasuke. The man sitting in between them, Ino knew was Tobi. Ino waved at him, who haved back, and beckoned her over. Ino took a few slow steps towards the boy, and looked at the raven haired boy.
"Ino! I want you to meet a few people. This is Itachi Uchiha. You may have heard of him..And that over there is Zetsu, do NOT get to close to him." Tobi said, he sounded happy.
Ino's gaze sharpened at the word 'Uchiha'. Itachi looked up at her, his onyx eyes showing no emotion. He said nothing. Ino just stared at him, as if he were a terrible monster. Itachi looked into her eyes, and sighed, speaking with no emotion in his voice. "You know, I would kill you for looking at me like that."
Ino glared at him. How dare he say that to her? He had no right! He killed his family, and left Sasuke to suffer! He was a monster..
Itachi suddenly appeared behind her, grabbing her ponytail, holding her in place, and he pulled out a kunai. "Look girl, if you don't stop looking at me, I'll kill you. I don't care what Leader will do."
Deidara turned around quickly, and shot an angry glare at Itachi. "Itachi! Leave her alone, yeah!"
At this point, the two on the couch were staring at the crowd around the table. One of them standing up. He had whitish-grey hair, combed neatly behind his head. his cloak was open, revealing his chest, and a long chain. What stuck out most about this man, was his three bladed sythe, secured on his back.
Ino closed her eyes tightly, and kicked Itachis leg, with enough force to break it. He jumped back, releasing the girls hair, letting her free. When he spoke, he used the same tone of voice, as if he didn't care. "You're not fast enough."
The white haired man walked up to Ino, and bowed lightly. "I am Hidan. Let me apoligize for my comrades behavior. He needs anger management, but since we are all S-Class criminals, nobody will help him." Hidan grined towards Itachi, and looked at Deidara, who was storming towards him angrily. He returned his gaze back to the blonde girl infront of him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Yamanaka."
Ino waved at him. "Hey." She laughed, as Deidara threatened to lick Itachi.
Hidan's grin grew. He had always thought a girls voice sounded sexiest in the morning.
"Look, yeah. If you don't leave Ino alone, you will have me, and the rest of the Akatsuki to deal with, un." He held his hand out to Itachi's face, the mouth on his palm drooling with anticipation, awaiting the cheek that was infront of it. Deidara easily pressed his hand against Itachi's cheek, and pulled it away, leaving a long, wet streak along his cheek. Deidara laughed. "I win, yeah." Itachi glared at Deidara, and stormed out of the room angrily. Deidara turned, and grinned childishly to the rest of the room. "Danna would have been proud, yeah."
