I looked away
then I looked back at you,
You tried to say
the things that you can't undo,
If I had my way
I'd never get over you,
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through.
NOTE: THIS IS NOW TAKING PLACE DURING THE SHIPPUDEN ERA
WARNING: SOME SMALL NARUTO SHIPPUDEN SPOILERS IN THIS CHAPTER.
I tried to us as small amounts as i could... so hopefully it isnt to bad and doesnt give away too much
"Wake up… Kam... Wake up now or I'll dump water on you." My eyes sleepily blinked open, and I groaned.
"About time."
"Oh shut up," I groaned, sitting up.
"Some one woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Rin said, smiling.
"You try having Tsunade-sama teaching you," I replied," She wasn't kidding when she said it would be hard and rough."
"I bet- I remember watching Sakura train- and that even tired me out," Rin told me, and I blinked at her a couple times," Well- I came to tell you that Tsunade-sama wanted to see us in her office."
"Alright- thanks Rin," I smiled, and she left. Now that me and her were 18- we had our own apartment rooms. Quickly, I got ready for the day, put my Leaf headband on- and sighed. Another day in the life of the average kunoichi. Little did I know- this would be anything but the average day.
-
Walking up the stairs, I wondered what Tsunade-sama wanted this time. Was it time for a mission? Or was there more training to do? I had gotten pretty good at keeping my empathic abilities a bay- or at least under control for the most part. As I got to the door, I saw it was open- so I walked slowly towards it and slowly poked my head around.
"You wanted to see me Tsunade-sama?" I said, looking directly past everyone else in the room and straight at her. That's when I saw who else was in the room.
"Eh Bien! Vous 'il va sûrement échouer avoir crû," I smiled, looking at Naruto. He stared blankly at me- trying to figure out if I just insulted him or not. Laughing, I walked past him, and stood beside Tsunade's desk.
"Sakura, what did she just say?" Naruto asked her quietly.
"Actually- I'm not all that sure…" Sakura said, slightly confused.
"I said 'Wow! You sure have grown up'," I repeated and Naruto 'ah'd' me, nodding.
"Not really," Sakura said, and Naruto practically deflated. I had to keep from laughing.
"So- if Shikamaru and Temari are not my opponent- then Kameera is?" Naruto asked Tsunade.
"Wait- what?" I asked, popping out of my own little world.
"No- that's not right either- check over there," Tsunade said, pointing towards a window, and then she turned to me," And I need for you to run an errand for me real quick- here's the list. Be back as soon as you can."
"Yes Ma'am," I nodded, and disappeared as soon as I heard Kakashi sensei's voice.
-
Walking around after I had successfully run Tsunade's errand, Rin ran up to me.
"We have a mission!" she exclaimed," Come on! I got your things together already- we're leaving now!" The excitement was radiating off of her in huge waves, and happily I was able to suppress my desire to scream for joy. Still yet- I ran off with her towards the front.
"About time you got here," Kohaku said, smiling as we approached.
"Oh hush," Rin and I said in perfect unison.
"Kakashi will fill you in on the mission details as you go," Tsunade said, and we nodded.
"Come on- let's go!" Naruto exclaimed, taking off.
"Wait up Naruto!" Sakura called, taking off after him- Kohaku, Rin and I stayed put with Kakashi.
-
Days later, we were ready to leave from the Hidden Sand where we had first gone to- and thank goodness we did- for Kankuro's sake.
"I'll stay here," Rin said, as everyone was prepared to leave," I want to make sure Kankuro will be alright. And also- I want to see if he can tell me anything else about what happened- so I can see who we're dealing with."
"Alright- just be careful," Kakashi said to her," Make sure- if you come out to find us- that you are careful."
"I will be," Rin nodded. With that, we all took off with a Sand elder and went off on our mission to rescue Gaara from the grasp of Akatsuki.
{Someplace in the Waterfall Village- mission- normal POV}
"My turn," Calael said softly, making hand signals. Quickly, she ran out of her hiding spot and at the enemy. Before she could register it- he had blocked and disappeared.
"What the-?!" Calael exclaimed, taking a step forward.
"Calael- careful-!" It was to late- the ground gave away, and she began falling through the air. Below her, was nothing but hard ground- sharp rocks- nothing good would come of this landing. She could do nothing in time to stop her fall- so she waited for the impact- but it never came. Calael felt something wrapping around her, and stop her fall. Looking around she saw it was a horde of bugs- Shino's. She let out the breath she had been holding unknowingly. As soon as her feet touched ground again, she fell to her knees- her legs to shaky to stand properly.
"Are you alright?" Kiba asked, kneeling down beside her- and Akamaru whined his concern.
"I think I will be," Calael nodded, and looked up at Shino.
"You saved me." Shino stood there, not moving.
"I couldn't let a comrade die- could I?" Calael didn't know what to say- and before she realized it, she had jumped up and was hugging Shino.
"Thank you," Calael whispered softly, and slightly pulled her head back, only to lean up on her toes and softly kiss him on the lips. As she became aware of her actions- she quickly stopped- blushing fiercely- and put as much distance as she could between her and Shino.
"Do we still have the key?" Calael asked.
"Yes." Shino answered.
"Alright." Calael said; an almost uncomfortable silence followed.
"Let's head back to Konoha… shall we?" Kiba said, a little uncertain- but with a small smile on his face. Calael nodded- keeping her face turned away from Shino's. Shino merely nodded once, slightly shrugging- and they headed back home with a completed mission.
{Back at Konoha – normal POV}
Rara was very bored. She had no mission- her cousins were all out on missions- and Neji was as well. She decided to walk aimlessly around the village- to try and find something she could do besides stay in the house all day. If she did that, her aunt would find her something to do- chores that needed done or errands that she didn't want to run. Rara hated doing errands- every errand she ran, it took her to a place she didn't like going. As she walked around, she passed the Hyuuga compound and looked in briefly.
"Hey Hinata," Rara smiled as she passed.
"Hi R-Rara," Hinata smiled back, walking up to her.
"What'cha doing?" Rara asked her.
"I was j-just going to w-walk around a l-little," Hinata answered," Maybe p-practice a little."
"Mind if I joined you? I have nothing else to do," Rara said hopefully.
"I'd be h-honored if you joined," Hinata replied.
"Awesome! Thank you Hinata," Rara smiled, and Hinata smiled back.
{Kameera's POV- mission – Sand country}
I had a really bad feeling about this. My stomach kept doing flips- and I couldn't remember why- maybe it was because this was becoming a personal mission? I had been with the Akatsuki before- stayed with them for a little while when I was younger- and then I left them and went back to Konoha.
"Um… as much as I hate to admit it- but I wasn't really paying attention," I said as we prepared to break through the hideout's wall," Did anyone mention what the Akatsuki members that took Gaara look like?" Everyone looked at me, and I looked down at the water beneath me. We were all standing on a stream- and waiting for the seals to be removed so we could break the door down.
"No… I don't think anyone did," Sakura said," Why?"
"Just wondering," I answered, a little too quickly.
"Okay- ready?" Kakashi asked- and we all nodded, getting into position. I watched in awe as Sakura blasted through the door effortlessly. As we ran in to hopefully save Gaara- we saw two Akatsuki's inside. My whole body seemed to freeze when I saw who they were.
"Danna…" I whispered, looking at the puppet-master, and then my eyes traveled to the one sitting on Gaara,"…Dei-dei."
"Kam," Deidara said, his eyes lighting up- but they soon changed," What a surprise."
"What… How…Why…" I whispered, my eyes tearing up along the lashes.
"It's a mission- you should know that," Deidara said, and looked around at all of us," So… according to Itachi- the Jinchuriki is loud and acts rash."
"Give Gaara Back!" Naruto shouted, running at them. Quickly Kakashi stopped him- and Deidara smiled.
"That was an easy find- alright; time to go to work again." With that Deidara created a huge bird out of his clay, got Gaara, and took off.
"Get Back Here!" Naruto shouted, and took off after Deidara.
"Naruto- wait!" Kakashi said, running after him; he left me, Sakura and Chiyo with Sasori. My eyes traveled to Sasori just as a tear escaped, and traveled down my face.
"Sakura- Granny Chiyo- can you handle things here?" I asked quietly.
"Yea," Sakura nodded confidently.
"Be careful," I warned her, my voice low- and she heard the seriousness in it. She nodded to me- and I took out after Kakashi. They might have to follow Deidara by watching him- but I knew where he was because of the connection we had. It scared me that I had such a connection with such a guy- but I did. In no time- I found Deidara- who seemed to be preparing himself to attack and defend.
"Why Dei?" I asked softly, and he turned around quickly.
"I should have known that you would find me first," he answered, walking up to me. A part of me told me to step back- but I didn't. His hand rested on my cheek, whipping away my tears.
"I must do this- it is what the Akatsuki is about- you should know that from when you were staying with us," Deidara told me.
"That was about three years ago- and I only stayed for less then a week- or was it a week?- I don't remember- but I didn't stay long," I said.
"You should have stayed- I've missed you so much my love," Deidara said, leaning in to kiss me. Quickly, I stepped back and put distance between me and him.
"No you haven't- I know better!" I exclaimed," I can feel the truth radiating off of you! DON'T LIE DIEDARA!" Deidara sighed, closing his eyes in frustration.
"Pein-sama was right- you were better off either dead- or not a part of us," Deidara said, shaking his head. That hurt- but I didnt let it show.
"All I was to you and the rest of that damned group was a tool!" I yelled.
"So?" Deidara shrugged.
"I was stupid to think someone like you could actually love," I said through my teeth," You're just like Kabuto- evil, twisted, conniving, and a LYER!" And i was lying as well- to say i didnt love him... because i do...still do.
"Don't put me in the same category as that four-eyed brat!" Deidara spat.
"I'll do what I want!" I shot back, and we stared at each other for who knows how long.
"Kameera…" Looking around, I saw Naruto and Kakashi- and I disappeared from sight. As quick as I disappeared- I reappeared by Kakashi's side.
"This is where I have always belonged- and nothing will ever- EVER- change that," I told Deidara, my eyes filled with pure hate.
"Curse the day that Itachi brought you to the hideout and into the Akatsuki's life!" Deidara exclaimed- and then the fighting began.
