Accidentally

Chapter 4: Understatement

Sakura awoke quite unceremoniously to...well...screaming.

Begrudgingly opening her eyes, she sat up slowly, stretching hastily and stood, momentarily wondering why she was in a cave.

When she came to the opening, however, and got a glimpse of that bright orange mask, it all came back to her.

"What has that asshole gotten himself into now, yeah?"

Glancing to her right, she saw the blonde-Deidara, it was-, slouching with a wary expression.

When another scream sounded, Sakura realised that it was Tobi that was in distress. Looking around for some sort of threat, Sakura's vision was cut short, a blur rushing past her.

With a bear close behind.

Deidara groaned.

"Ugh, dumbass. Here, I'll just blow the thing up for you," He said, reaching for his pouch.

Sakura grabbed his shoulder quickly, "Wait! There's no need for that! I-I'm good with animals,"

So then the next time Tobi passed, she grabbed him by the arm, flinging him inside the cave. The bear stopped, standing up on its heind legs in an attempt to be intimidating.

Sakura stood, unfazed, and stared the beast in the eyes. Soon enough, it stepped down to all fours and walked away.

Deidara was a bit dumbfounded.

Sakura smiled lightly before turning around to glare at Tobi.

"Now...what exactly did you do that made the poor thing so angry in the first place?" She asked him, giving him the 'Go-clean-your-room-before-I-kick-your-ass-all-the-way-to-Mist' look.

Quite unbefitting of the situation, but she was tired and it was still mildly dark outside.

Survival tip No. 137: Don't wake Sakura up before she gets her full nine hours if you want to keep your face.

Tobi held out his hands, revealing them to be filled with various berries, and laughed nearvously.

Sakura's shoulders slumped, and Deidara preformed a dramatic facepalm.

Moving on and stepping out into the forest, The mouths on Deidara's hands began kneading handfuls of clay. Minutes later, there was a large bird, cocking its head and waiting for its master to give an order.

Deidara turned to Sakura, "Well, climb on, yeah."

Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Excuse me? Thanks, but no thanks. You guys got me to safety, and through the rain, and that's it. I'm going-"

"Going where? You don't remember abandoning your village just a day ago? We have reasons for tracking you down, Sakura. And going to such lengths to save some little Genin? Rediculous," Deidara argued.

Sakura's chakra flared slightly.

"Little Genin? I'm eighteen, you jerk! And I'll have you know, that I am a very capable, qualified, Anbu Black-ops Captain !"

Deidara scoffed, turning back to his creation.

"Tobi."

"But, senpai! I don't-"

"Fine. Whatever. You're right. I'll go to-to where ever it is you're planning on taking me. Just don't ever mention my village to me again. It's too soon." Sakura was glaring at nothing right about now.

Fuck it. Fuck it all, reserves included. If they wanted to take her to their hideout and torture her, have her work as their maid at ransom, or even try to kill her, then so be it. It's just not worth the argument.

Deidara crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well. Glad you see it our way. I apologize for being a bit rude there, but it's that assholes fault for waking me up." He said, pointing at Tobi.

'My point exactly. Everybody needs their nine hours,' She thought amusedly.

Climbing onto the bird, Sakura wondered what they were going to do with her.

Deidara nearly left Tobi behind when he began to lift off, but soon enough they were soaring.

And not long after, Sakura had fallen asleep, leaning her back to Deidara's, with Tobi tousling her hair every so often out of boredom...

OoOoOo

-Sound-

As Kabuto sits near the river, cleaning his medical supplies, he happens to glance upwards...

"That is one fat bird..."

Sasuke walked calmly ip beside him, kneeling over and splashing some water in his face. He and Orochimaru were currently training, and his second teacher had called for a break- which Sasuke had strongly protested to-.

"Hey, Sasuke, look at that bird. It's...really fat. Never seen one that big. It's really not supposed to be scientifically possible..."

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he did as suggested.

Shifting quickly, he began running back towards Orochimaru's hideout.

Kabuto started, "Eh? Hey! Where are you going?"

"On a roadtrip," Sasuke replied firmly.

Sighing, Kabuto went back to work, rinsing out another syringe.

OoOoOo

Wow, only took me a few hours! A little rushed, but I just felt like you guys deserved a little more after that long wait. Thanks for sticking with my story! You all make my day!

Also, if you're just now reading this after this story is finished, or when it's much farther along in the chapters, DON'T BE AFRAID TO REVIEW, NO MATTER HOW LATE YOU ARE! I UNDERSTAND!

And yes, chococherryblossom, those forementioned characters will be appearing very soon! I love them too! The former a bit more than the latter, though.

But then again, I LOVE ALL THE AKATSUKI TO DEATH!

...except for Tobi...how dare he kill Ko-chan...

:D

Ciao!
