And Voilá there's the next chappie! I guess it turned out a bit foggy... I rewrote this part nearly four times and I still think something is missing...

Chapter six: The tapes

Morning. It is morning already.

This thought woke Sakura up from her long night sleep and she tried to stretch her back, but her chained arm stopped her from doing so and she sank back into the pillows. Her chained arm hung outside of the bed and was terribly cold, but so was Deidara's.

After the kiss of the evening before they had went to bed straight, and this time Sakura had put on some pajamas beneath her blankets, carefully folding her normal clothes next to her bed. Deidara had simply taken off his Akatsuki cloak and his shirt and was now sleeping with a bare chest – and that strange tattoo - and his muddy pants. What reminds me, she thought while looking at his face. He still hasn't showered yet. Gross.

Her eyes lingered over his face. It was good proportioned and his nose was elegant and long, nearly that of a woman. His lips were thin but not too thin and not too wide, and were curled into a sleepy smile of a dreamer. His eyes were closed and his eyebrows were relaxed, and his short blonde hair spiked out to several directions, the traces of Sakura's scissors still very clear.

She blushed. I really need to get Ino to cut his hair. He can't walk around like this, people will laugh at him! And immediately after that, she frowned. Since when did she start caring about how Deidara felt, or about what people thought of him? She shouldn't care about that. Heck, she shouldn't even think about it! he was still her enemy and a very dangerous one, too.

She sighed and looked at the alarm clock on her nightstand. 10.04 AM. It was about time for them to get up and dress, and for Deidara to shower. Ibiki was coming back from his mission today or tomorrow so she would have to prepare on their interrogations. She shivered. What if Ibiki was going to torture Deidara to get his information… Then she would be tortured too. And she had heard terrible things about Ibiki's ways to get his information….

She looked at the ceiling after that and felt her eyes linger over the plaster, until she reached a corner of the room. The dark lens of a surveillance camera stared at her and she stared back, not totally aware of why her heart was beating so fast, and her stomach knitted together at this sight. Then she saw the red lamp beneath the lens going on and off, and then she finally knew what was wrong with her.

Cameras, she thought and her eyes widened. Tsunade said in every room, except for the bathroom. That means that they were in the living room as well… She swallowed as she stared at the camera. They've got everything on tape!! I have to get that surveillance camera tape and destroy it… I wont allow anyone to see me KISSING DEIDARA!!!

Her loud thoughts woke up Deidara who moaned and then rubbed the sleep out of his eyes with his free hand. "Something wrong, hmm?" he muttered while still lying on his back, not looking at her. Sakura nodded and then realized that he couldn't see her.

"There are… yesterday… there were…" she coughed. Deidara opened one lazy eye and glared at her. "What, hmm?"

"Cameras. Taping everything."

He stared at her and then got up from the bed slowly, his eyes wide of shock and surprise. "Cameras?" he repeated, looking her right in the eye. She locked her eyes to his to be sure that she didn't see his creepy tattoo and then nodded, not speaking.

Then the corners of his mouth started to tug upwards, and the next thing Sakura knew was that he was laughing his lungs out, collapsing half, slapping his free hand on his leg and tears running down his face. "OMIGOD, HMM!!" He laughed, pointing at Sakura. "I totally FORGOT!!! HAHAHA!!!"

"Shut up! This isn't funny!"

"Yes it IS, hmm!! Hahaha…! Those freaking cameras…!!"

Sakura threw a pillow at him, her face red of anger. "Get yourself something to wear, you stupid," she snapped at him, pissed off badly. "And get a shower because you stink. And then we'll get those tapes." She glared at him. "And you WILL help me."

Deidara pinked away a tear of his laughing. "…yeah yeah, sure, hmm. But…"

"WHAT?"

He smirked. "Have you forgotten that there are people watching those tapes 24/7, hmm? Might better find out who that are first, don't you think?"

Sakura swallowed. She hadn't thought about that. "Fuckkk!!" She screamed and then stood from her bed so quick that she dragged Deidara to the floor. She buried her face in her hands and muffled it around a bit. Things got more and more complicated with every second and she couldn't stand it.

"Say, what do you think of me not speaking for a day again, hmm?" Deidara asked from the floor. "How does that sound? But I wont do it for free… hehehe… AUCH!" Sakura kicked him against the side of his head and then pulled him up at his arm, dragging him in the bathroom, ignoring her newfound headache.

"And how does it sound if you would finally SHOWER!?" she yelled angrily. "We have to hurry up before others see the tape! Please, please hurry up!!" And she jumped up and down, giving him a startled look. He sighed, rolled his eyes and then started to strip off his clothes in front of a now very, very red Sakura.

"OY!! Don't put off your clothes while I'm watching! That's gross!!!" And she turned around quickly, covering her eyes with her free hand and her cheeks still red as cherries. She heard him chuckle.

"Why wouldn't I? At least I have nothing to be ashamed about, hmm…"

Sakura's left eye twitched and she withstood the urge to punch him. "Just hurry up will you," she hissed, still not looking. "The clock's ticking!!"

-A half hour later-

Deidara and Sakura ran down the stairs of the Hokage building, running as fast as they could without falling, sweat running down their backs. The sun burnt their skin as they left the shade of the large tower and started running towards the building where the surveillance videos were watched. It was quite a large firma and was hired by most people of Konoha, with the extremely original name "Surveillance and Co".

"Here it is," Sakura panted when they reached the building. Several people had looked at them while they raced through the streets, but Sakura hoped that no one had recognized them. "Let's hope we're not too late."

Deidara rolled his eyes. "Gee, it would be so terrible if we were too late. A real disaster, hmm." And he chuckled. Sakura glared daggers at him but decided not to speak at him as they had reached the counter.

"Um, hello…?" Sakura tapped on the small bell on the counter. The room had cream white walls with a shiny floor that reflected like a mirror. The counter was from dark solid wood and behind that stood a computer and a chair, but the chair was empty.

Soon someone came walking towards the counter. It was a young female with short, light brown hair and slightly yellowish eyes. "Hello," she said, sitting down behind the computer. "I'm Hazel. What can I help you with?"

Sakura smiled at her. "I would like to see some videos from my- um, our apartment. If that's possible, of course."

Hazel looked at her with a pitiful look in her eyes. "I'm terribly sorry, but I cant let you see the videos. Part of the rules, I'm afraid. You'll have to ask permission first."

Sakura's eyes widened. "But I have to see them! You don't understand – it's really, really important that I get to see them." When Hazel shook her head again, Sakura roared out of anger, frightening Hazel. "Please stay calm, or I'll have to get the guards here," she said, standing from her chair.

"Okay, sorry, I'm sorry," Sakura muttered, hearing Deidara chuckle behind her. "I mean – it's just so important for me to see those tapes. You need to understand, people might blackmail me with its contents!"

Hazel opened her mouth to say no when someone's voice rang out. "Hazel! Let me handle this." And Tsunade appeared from behind a door and got Hazel up from her chair. "you did fine but I'm afraid that I'll have to take care of these two. Besides there are some problems on the second floor with the electronics – do you think you can help them?"

Hazel nodded, clearly happy to be able to get away from Sakura and the very silent Deidara, and then stood from the chair and got up the stairs without even saying goodbye.

"And what is it that makes you so upset, Sakura?" Tsunade asked, her face calm and relaxed but her eyes worried. "Something happened with Deidara?"

"Oy, you woman," Deidara spat from behind Sakura and he stepped forwards. "Don't talk about me like I'm not around, hmm. I hate that." And he gave her a threatening glare. Tsunade gave him a glare that was even more frightening and Sakura saw Deidara swallow.

"As I asked, what is wrong?" Tsunade asked, focusing on Sakura again. Sakura heard Deidara crack his teeth but ignored him. "I need to see the tapes of our living room of yesterday evening," Sakura stated, knowing that Tsunade would probably ask for an explanation. She did.

"And why is that?"

Sakura swallowed. "Because. Just… just because."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow. "Come on Sakura, you know me long enough to know that I wont take that for an answer. As it is right now, no one else but the surveillance guards are allowed to see the tapes."

Sakura's face lit up as she heard that. "Really? No one else?"

She heard Deidara growl next to her and saw Tsunade raising an eyebrow. "That's right."

Sakura felt so good that she felt like jumping on a roof and scream as hard as she could. The guards who saw it were not allowed to talk about what they had seen, and the tapes were secured in Surveillance & Co, so that meant that she didn't need to worry anymore!

"Sakura, are you alright? You're face has gotten kinda red, you now." Sakura looked up at Tsunade and smiled at her. "I'm fine, Tsunade-sama. I've heard enough…" she looked at Deidara and nearly laughed at his unhappy expression. "I guess we'll be heading back, then."

Deidara frowned. "I didn't think so. You see, hmm, I would like to see those tapes. It's not like you can simply decide what we are going to do, hmm. You should know that I don't like it if I don't get things going my way…" and he smirked at her angry expression.

"And you should know that forcing me into doing things doesn't work at all! I mean, come on, it's not like I'm deciding what we're doing all the time."

Deidara got red. "Oh yeah? Well, then I've got news for you: you do." He sniffed and then continued in a high pitched voice. "Come on, Deidara, you need to shower because you smell. We need to get those tapes, Deidara, and you will help me… I've got enough of that, hmm!"

"Then I'm sorry for you but it doesn't seem like you are actually trying to do something," Sakura returned, her face red of anger as well. What was he thinking?!

Tsunade meanwhile tried not to laugh but that was easier said than done.

"And I don't like sitting down the entire day!" Sakura continued. "You know what wonders me?" When he didn't responded but only gave her an angry glare she continued. "I'm wondered why they even keep you at the Akatsuki! You're a lazy, ego centered, bulshitty prick, you never help someone out of free will and you don't even care about your teammate when he's captured and nearly killed! And not even to mention those ugly artistic creations of you…!"

She shouldn't have said that. Tsunade, who hadn't been able to speak out, saw a change in Deidara's attitude and felt the air around him change. Her eyes widened and she leapt forwards, between the two people, but was too late. Deidara had thrown himself on Sakura and had dragged them both to the floor, and was now kicking and punching every square inch of her body that he could find.

Sakura shrieked of pain when he hit her abs and then hit him between his legs with her knee again, forcing him to collapse on top of her. She rolled over so that he fell on the floor and then rested on her elbow, waiting for the pain to come. Seconds later an awful splitting pain shredded her body to pieces and Sakura and Deidara both clenched their teeth on each other, both bleeding out of wounds that they had inflicted on the other.

Tsunade pressed the red alarm button for the ANBU surveillance guards and then kneeled next to Sakura, helping her up half and healing her major wounds, while keeping an eye on the knocked out Deidara on the floor. Sakura spat out some blood on the floor and then pulled away from Tsunade's healing jutsu. The hokage gave her a puzzled look.

"Just let me be," Sakura muttered from between clenched teeth. She had bitten her tongue and spat out some more blood. She felt her abs hurt again but that was nothing compared to what she felt on the inside.

She shouldn't have let herself go like that. Showing emotions was a weakness, and he used that weakness to attack her. She kept forgetting that he was dangerous and lethal, and that he wouldn't hesitate in killing her by blowing himself up. She couldn't risk an explosion as they were in center of town and there were a lot of people around.

She looked at her free hand. But he let go of himself as well, she thought and she felt his fists connecting with her stomach again. She clenched her hands to fists. This is a no go. I wont be able to hold out longer next to him… she looked at Deidara who got up slowly and felt the tugging of the chain.

The chains started to hurt miserably whenever she thought about them and she mostly tried not to, but this time she had to. The glossy surface of the cuffs reflected some of the sunlight and if you didn't know what they could do then you could even call them pretty. The glass chains between the two handcuffs were a bit stretchable but still very strong and she wondered who had made these chains and why.

Then she felt the glass hurt her skin and she closed her eyes, trying to think about something else. Her thoughts twirled back and forth between the cuffs and Deidara, both subjects she wanted to forget about, and it didn't matter how much she tried. They kept coming back, haunting her and driving her crazy.

She didn't realize that Tsunade was talking to her until the Hokage carefully shook her shoulders. She gave Tsunade a foggy look and the Hokage sighed. "I'll repeat it once more. Listen carefully."

Several ANBU members came running in. Tsunade helped Sakura getting up while one ANBU member pulled Deidara up by his armpits. He groaned and then shook the ANBU off him, shifting uncomfortably. "I can stand for myself, thank you, hmm," he hissed and then he glared daggers at Sakura. She swallowed and then Tsunade started speaking.

"As Ibiki is still not back, we'll start the interrogation today. I had planned it around four but since you are here we could as well start immediately." She nodded at the ANBU guards and they all disappeared except for one who stood directly behind Deidara. "Now if you would please follow me…?"

Sorry if it was a strange chapter! And i wanted to thank everyone who has reviewed or reacted again.
