Chapter 4: Mission Accomplished, Home Wrecked
Upon arriving at the Akatsuki base, Sumiko had been quiet. Daisuke took the hint and said next to nothing on the trip. Although Sumiko did not object to answering Itachi or Kisame's questions, there were obviously some things that she preferred not to talk about… such as her and Sasori's family life.
Sasori hoped this would be fast. No other members would see her and he could get his sister home. However, his hopes were shattered when he heard a certain accented voice ring through the base. "Sasori, are you back you idiot, un?"
Sumiko glanced at Sasori and was about to open her mouth, but he gave her a look. "It's just easier to not ask." Sumiko raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
Deidara found Sasori and his eyes certainly found Sumiko. His jaw dropped so fast that nothing could match its speed. "Sasori! Who's your hot friend?"
At this, Sasori's hand went to Deidara's throat, but Sumiko whispered some words in Sasori's ear. "Come on bro. He is unaware…"
Sasori snorted and released Deidara. "Hit on my sister again and you will be gone just like your art." With that, Sasori walked away, but paused for a moment. "Sumiko, we will rest for a day and then escort you home."
"Yes, of course." Sasori stalked off, but Deidara gawked at Sumiko.
"You're Sasori's sister, un? I didn't know he had family still alive."
"Yes, I'm his twin sister… For reasons, it tends to be safer to not mention our relations."
"Of course, un. Wait a moment… if you are Sasori's age, that means you are…"
"35. I do not know how I still look young. I know how Sasori looks young, but I assure you, that is not the method used on me."
"Ahh, I see, un. I still don't take back what I said earlier by the way, un." Deidara winked at her and Sumiko smiled.
"Come Deidara-san, show me around this base."
"You don't have to be so formal Sumiko-chan, un."
Sumiko laughed. It was a small laugh, but still made Deidara feel warm. "My brother will kill you if you call me Sumiko-chan in front of him Deidara-kun."
"So I just don't call you Sumiko-chan in front of him then, un," Deidara smirked. He took her hand and gave her the grand tour. After a few moments, she noticed something different about his hands.
"Deidara-kun, your hands are…"
"Oh… you think they're weird too, un…"
"No. Things are the way they are for a reason. I am just mildly curious. That's all."
"It's a long story." Deidara told her all about his kekkei genkai and she listened through the whole thing. "Well, it's not all bad. It lets me practice my art!"
"Art huh," Sumiko's expression becomes impossible to read. "What is your definition of art Deidara?"
"Art is a bang! It is a momentary thing, un. Something that its destruction is as beautiful as its creation, un. It's different from Sasori's eternal art. Sumiko-chan, what do you think of art?"
Sumiko's eyebrow twitched, but she glanced at Deidara. "I hate art; any kind of art. It destroyed everything I held dear. I'm going to sleep. Good night…" With that, she stalked off towards the guest room.
The next day
Daisuke was walking around the base. Being in here is like being in a treasure room. Who knows what I can bring back? So much information just ripe for the taking… Just as Daisuke was about to go to the kitchen, a scythe came very close to severing the fox's head.
Daisuke glanced up and saw a rather irate Jashinist. "What the fuck did they think bringing a mangy animal in here?" Hidan reached down and was about to pick up Daisuke when he snarled at him.
"Keep your fucking hands to yourself you stupid bastard!"
Hidan looked at the fox. "A talking fox, eh… Kakuzu will like you; he could sell you for money."
Daisuke rolled his eyes, "I can't believe you're still an idiot Hidan. Don't even recognize me."
"Who are you and I didn't tell you my name so how do you know me?"
"Easy," Daisuke jumped up on Hidan's shoulders effortlessly, "We both became Jashinists the same time remember bro… Of course I didn't have a fox's body back then…"
Hidan looked wide-eyed at the fox. "No fucking way! How the hell did you become a fox? I heard you died a long time ago Mamoru."
"It's a long story. I'd rather not explain it now. Too many things are in danger now. I need to find Sumiko-sama now."
"Sumiko… Sasori's twin. Wait a moment; she's the one back then who…"
"Yes, yes. We need to go now Hidan!" With that, Hidan began aiding Daisuke in his mini adventure to find Sumiko.
Sumiko was trying to distance herself from everyone here, even her brother. She did not feel very happy returning to the Wind Country. She had a bad feeling something happened…
However, it was decided her escort back to the Wind Country was to be not just Daisuke, but Deidara. Sasori began arguing, but Pain told him he had a solo mission for Sasori. Sasori grumbled, but before they left, Sasori confronted Deidara.
"If you dare touch my sister, I will rip you apart and feed you to Zetsu while you watch."
Deidara swallowed and nodded slowly. Sasori backed away agitated.
One Day Later
Sumiko was quiet. She did not even talk to Daisuke the whole trip. She was too preoccupied with this bad feeling she had. She did not talk much to Deidara either. He was ignorant of what made her mad, but was wise enough to distance himself.
When they arrived at her isolated home, she was agape with anger. Her whole home was decimated. It looked as if a tornado had struck. Or a sandstorm she thought to herself.
Deidara looked at her and Daisuke. Daisuke looked confused at the situation and Sumiko was broken. Deidara pulled Sumiko into a sudden hug: an action that made Daisuke snarl, but Sumiko silenced the fox.
"Deidara-kun… what are you doing?"
"Trying to stop you from blaming yourself, un. Whoever did this to your home is your enemy and we respect that. However, you need a safe place to stay and where better than the Akatsuki? Pain-sama said he would accept you as a member if you wished."
Sumiko looked at Daisuke as if trying to garner advice by merely looking at him. She then turned her glance at her abode and then finally turned towards Deidara.
"Let's go home then to the Akatsuki."
