PLEASE READ THIS: I want to start a new story, but I have to decide what pairing to do. i was thinking of Gaara and Hinata, or Ino and Zetsu. I also rewrote some chapters thats why the numbers of words increased if anyone noticed. And I gave Tobi and everyone more lines. This is probably the best thing well at least its the longest I've ever written so I hope you enjoy!

Deidara landed the massive bird in a desserted area close to the festival at around 7:30 a.m Everyone woke up at 9:00 a.m though. Hidan was on Konan's lap, and Pein was resting his head on her soldier. Konan, Hidan, and Pein woke up at the same time. Konan screamed," Kyaa! Get off!"

Hidan yelled," What's the matter with you!"

Pein fell off the bird and landed on his back, " Well that sure made me look uncool."

Konan scrambled off the bird to help Pein " Sorry about that. Its just that you guys surprised me."

Hidan yelled," What about me!"

Konan said," Oh you were here?"

"Gahhh! What the fuck! Then Kisame shot him a glare from swearing. The Hidan mumbled,"Never mind"

Deidara noticed Hinata hasn't woken up yet. So he went up to her. ' Wow she looks kinda cute like that.' He quickly used his scope to take a picture. " Okay Hina-hime I think you should wake up now, yeah." She moved a little. but then went back to sleep. He was gonna try to wake her up again until Tobi butted in.

"Dei-Dei, Hinata won't wake up if your being that gentle". Tobi pounced on Hinata. " HINATA WAKE UP!"

Hinata woke up suddenly, feeling something heavy on her. "Wh-what?" Before Tobi could say anything. Hinata kicked him off.

Zetsu said, "Wow hasn't Hinata gotten stronger? Or maybe its just because Tobi is a little slow."

Deidara and Hidan were laughing like crazy after Hinata kicked him off.

Tobi was feeling a little dizzy as he was stammering, " S-ee? I knew I could wake her up."

Hinata was by Tobi's side hugging him tightly." I-I'm so sorry f-for hurting y-you!" Thats when Deidara stopped laughing and ran over where Tobi and Hinata was. Deidara pushed Tobi to the side.

Deidara said," Tobi says he's fine now,un! Let's just go get some breakfast now! I'm starving,un! He grabbed Hinata's hand, holding it tightly. Hinata's faced was still a little red. Though she was getting used to it. "Hinata, your face is a little red, ya know"

"I-I know that!"

Pein agreed to the breakfast idea," Ok everybody lets go."

Kisame had to carry Itachi on his back because Itachi was not a morning person. Irachi was muttering," Put me down I can walk myself." But seemed to tired to actually mean it.

"Hey Shino have you seen Hinata lately?" Kiba asked

" Hm no now that you mention it."

"Maybe we should go to her house and ask if she wants to go to the festival with us. She went last year with us after all"

" Okay why not?

Shino and Kiba walked to Hinata's house but nobody was at home. The housemaid told them that Hiashi was at the hokage's place right now.

Kiba shouted," Oy! Shizune! Is Hiashi here?"

Shizune answered," He's in her office," She saw the two young boys walk towards the office door. Shizune said panicky," Wait you can't go in there yet!"

Shino and Kiba ignored her and went in anyway.

Shino and Kiba walked in to see Hiashi yelling," Hinata is still missing! How long is it going to take to find her!"

Tsunade sighed feeling like she has said this way too many times," I told you our ninjas can't find her! The world's a big place and nobody knows where the Akatsuki base is!"

Kiba shouted even louder," HINATA'S MISSING?" He started to panic and ran in circles aroung the room. " Where is she? How far could a little blind girl run? Noo now I'll be stuck with Shino thw whole time at the festival."

Shino grabbed Kiba's collar and asked," What do you mean?" He was feeling concerned because Hinata was one of his few friends.

Tsunade answered sadly," She was captured by an Akatsuki member, but we still don't know where she is. Now young ones shouldn't worry about these things. The Konoha Spring Festival is today afterall!"

Hiashi was about to say something until Tsunade kicked all of them out of her office.

The Akatsuki and Hinata walked into a nearby pastry shop in their disguies.

The shopowner said," My you kids sure look ready for the festival," she was kind looking elderly lady. "I've never seen you kids hear before."

Sasori answered calmly," It's because we live quite the distance from here."

They all say down to eat in the shop. Everyone ate 3 people's worth of sweets. In Tobi's case he ate 5 peoples because they haven't had any of this stuff for a while. Pein just handed the elderly lady the money they owed and left. They left the store with Hinata holding hands with Deidara and Konan linking arms with Pein. They walked aroung until it was 6:00p.m and was about to enter the festival grounds.

Itachi stated," Since we don't want anyone to get lost, we're just gonna hold hands while walking in the crowded streets." Everyone made a face thinking that he's lost his mind. " Don't give me that look! We're just doing this for safety anyway. Now draw sticks to decide who's holding hands with who."

Hidan said," What are you Dora? Who cares about safety," Now that little outburst earned him a hit from Kisame's sword. " Bastard" Then Konan endd up punching Hidan's head. " Why is it always me that gets hit?"

Everyone drew their sticks and the order was: Zetsu, Tobi, Deidara, Hianta, Sasori, Pein, Konan, Hidan, Itachi, and Kisame. Itachi gave everyone walkie talkies.

Deidara said," Ok now lets go,un. ' Yes I'm with Hinata! He entwined his fingers with Hinata's. When they started looking around the stands, they heard a lot of comments. Like, " There so adorable "

"Aw isn't that cute?"

"Those yukatas look very nice, and expensive. I wonder how they could have afforded those."

" I wish my children were that cute" It seemed that nobody reconized them, but they were getting sick of the comments.

Hidan asked Koan," Look theres a gold fish scooping stand! Isn't it stu-"

Konan said," I always wanted to play that!" Can we go check it out?" Noone ever played before but heard about it. So, they went over there.

Hinata said," I d-don't th-think I can pl-play this game." obviously dissapointed.

Deidara said," "Its okay,un. I'll get one for you. " Deidara was focusing a lot. He failed the first two trys, but he managed to get one. " Here you go Hinata." She took it shyly.

"Thank you, Deidara."

For some reason Kisame cought about 15 fish without even trying, but only kept 2.

Konan spotted some stuff animals she really wanted from a shooting game. She ran out there without thinking. Hidan and Pein ran after her. She already paid, but couldn't get the blue teddy bear. "Your a horrible shot you know." Hidan said after catching up to her.

"Sh-shut up!" Before she could say anything else Hidan grabbed the gun out of her hands and won the bear.

The guy running the stand said," Your a mighty good shot kid. Did you win that for your little girlfriend over there?"

" No! We're just a part of the same group"

The shopowner thought there was something more going on but just said," Whatecer you say boy."

Hidan said," Uh for you." he handed her the bear. Pein was admiring the moment between them thinking that they looked good together.

" Thanks Hidan. Listen I'm sorry about pushing you this morning." She gave a bright smile.

Hidan was blushing really hard. The only things that came out of his mouth were," No prob."

* Zetsu*

Itachi said," Geez I wonder where those three ran off to."

Deidara said," Don't worry about them, un"

Soon Zetsu came to a sudden stop. He was saw a young blonde haired girl running a flower stand.

Zetsu stated," Hey guys I'm just gonna go over there for a bit. So don't come and bother me." Nobody dared to object him going off. " Hey, nice flowers you got here." he said to the girl. He was starting to feel a little nervous.

" Hiya yeah thanks my name is Ino Yamanaka. Whats yours?" She was thinking that his appearence was a bit strange, but in a way he was kinda good looking. " You know, your kinda hot." This was also the age she got interested in boys.

" My name is Zetsu, and I have to say you are very cute." His stomache was growling. " Oh sorry about that"

" You hungry?," She asked curiously. "My mom got me some food earlier, but theres only takoyaki left and some chicken." She took out the takoyaki and held it out for him to eat.

He shyly ate the takoyaki in one bite. " Thanks Ino. But I can feel myself " ' Shoot my voice came out menaceingly '

Ino looked at him a little bit strangely.

"Yeah sorry I sort of have a split personality and its kinda hard to control sometimes." looking for any sort of reaction.

" Wow well I'm not to surprised by it judging by how your face has 2 colors, and you don't have to hold it back. Just be who you are." She looked at Zetsu seeing he looked kinda sad. " But like I said I think your hot that way." He brightened up and they continued to chat and learn more about each other.

Sasori said," Well now we lost 4 people. I think I'll just go off by myself"

Kisame said," Yeah me too.

Itachi said," Well I don't want to be the third wheel so I'll just go too lets meet up to watch the fireworks later though."

So then there was only Deidara and Hinata left. Deidara said," Soo, what should we do now,yeah"

" How about we grab some food?" So he led her into a takoyaki stand and he was having fun feeding her. " Dei-deidara! I-I c-c-can feed m-myself!"

" No way! What if you get you yukata dirty, un."

"F-fine but I was wondering if you could buy some k-kind of headband for me because the wind is m-messing up my hair."

"Yeah sure I think that shop over there sold some. " He walked over their with Hinata and was looking for something for Hinata.

Then the shopkeeper said," Looking for something for your girlfriend?"

Hinata said embarrasses," We're j-just fr-friends."

"Shot down already little boy" He said jokingly " I think this blue one with the bow would look very nice on the little lady."

"Thanks I'll take it,un." Deidara payed and put it on Hinata's head. " You look very pretty Hina. " So her bangs weren't covering her forehead so he took this opportuniy to do something shocking. He leaned down to kiss her forehead.

Hinata was stuttering ," E-e-eh EH!"

" Now you don't have to owe me anything for the headband, yeah." He shot her a teasing smile.

* With Itachi *

Itachi was looking for something interesting to do. He beat a lot of games easily. Then he heard a girl screaming." Leave my brothers alone!" Itachi had nothing better to do so he went over to find a girl with four ponytails fighting two guys. 'She deffinitely can't take both of them on'

" Hey cops there are two thugs trying to hurt children here!" He said this very loud the two guys cursed and then left.

The girl came over to him and said" I could've beat those guys myself. Hey Kankuro, Gaara take this money and play around a little more. meet me here later." The two scurried off excited.

" Ha! like you could take on those guys now for saving you I should at least get a thanks"

" I said I didn't need your help bastard"

" This bastard's name is Itachi and I still don't here a thank you"

" Whatever ok! Thanks" She glared at him.

"Your welcome um...?"

"Temari" She said smiling slightly

" You my lady look beautiful when you smile." And he really did mean that. Though Itachi didn't show it.

" Idiot weasel-kun" She turned away blushing.

"Hn"

" Thats weird, my brother says that all the time too."

"I'm afraid it's getting late now and I have to get my friends. Until next time." He said that and just left wishing he had a picture of her smiling face.

Itachi called everyone to see the fireworks. Zetsu had to say goodbye to Ino feeling dissapointed. They all sat on the grass staring at the colorful fireworks. To Hinata they were more like loud explosions, but she heard Deidara say," Wow this is art,un." So she just kept quiet and linked arms with him and put her head on his shoulder. He noticed this and wrapped his arm protectively aroung her. ' Deidara is like my knight and shining armer'
