Some where in the woods.

Okami frowned as another boulder dropped inches from her nose; she rolled her eyes lightly, muttering, "Ya know..." Finishing in her thoughts, this is getting really annoying... She glanced to her left for a moment before glancing to her right, her eyes moving to the corner of the eye holes in her mask each time before she scanned again, "Alright… that's the 127th boulder that's tried to crush me..." She jumped up onto it and pulled out a kunai from the hostler on her belt, "And this is the eighth kunai I've used."

Better keep track so after I kill these bastards for getting in my way while trying to get Aka-Ten-Ba I know what to take from their bodies as payment. She shook her head, white hair shaking back and forth like a tail as she did so before she crouched on the boulder; she twirled it in her finger and shot it out towards a vine, then ducked down behind the boulder as a group of shuriken flew to where she was standing moments before, "Hrm..." She let out a noise of annoyance.

This is childs play, they take me for some genin? No doubt they've been told we were going to come... Her animal instinct complained, she nodded to this, only to murmured lowly, "It's because we're nonexistent, remember?" Hai hai. She looked for another spot that was open and could only spot that vine she just cut, silently she jumped back onto the boulder and took off through the air, her hand latching into it and quickly scampering up it before sitting on the tree branch. She caught a better view now through her mask as she studied the wires that were connected to various traps, silently she picked up a pinecone on the tree and threw it up and down, then sighed as she launched it into a particular wire.

Traps began to collapse in on themselves, kunai barrages flew towards the boulder, shuriken whizzed from different directions, and finally an exploding note landed and blew a nice blast that caused the tree she was in to set a flame. Launching herself backwards, she landed on a different branch. She glanced over her shoulder, frowning, who ever did this was in a hurry, they only set traps in a mile long diameter perimeter... they obviously dunno... who they're fucking with.

"How insulting." She huffed crossing her fish net sleeves over her vested chest, shaking her head, she muttered lowly, "Now... " She inhaled, her animal still in control as she spotted more blood. "Follow the red brick road..."

Zetsu looked at the travesty that was his traps, he set them in order according to rank, from Genin to Anbu. All of these traps have been set off, but none of them have claimed any lives.

His eyes scanned the area, he sniffed the air. No blood nothing but the scent of animals. His eyes narrowed. "Animals, no that can't be right there would be tracks, blood, or bodies of some sort." He was annoyed, but a thought came to mind.

"What about that creature Akatenchii mentioned the other day" It was a spoken thought.

"That is a possibility." He frowned looking around it was someone not some thing and he would find out who.

Okami sniffed the air. "Someone is close." The scent of sweat, blood, and pine filled her senses. She jumped in a tree and looked back in direction in which she came from, chuckling as an Anbu walked into her line of vision.

Oh yes, the Mizukage does not trust me so that old bastard sent an Anbu. Her eyes glowed with murderous intent behind her mask. Kill him.

Her hand flew into her bag and pulled a kunai, without hesitation she leaped from the tree landing in front of the Anbu, before he could block, her hand flew out slicing his throat making a fine blood mist spray from him and blood splatter down onto his clothing and chest.

Bringing the kunai to her half parted lips she traced her tongue down the bloodied edge. Hmm not bad. Clean blood, how unusual for an ANBU. She turned her eyes to the body a feral grin played on her lips. She knelt near the body, removed its shirt and vest, then she carved into the chest. I'M COMING GO HOME FOOLS.

She stood up and looked down at her work, grinning she turned and walked away from the body gaining the heavier trail of Akatenchii's scent and blood droplets.

Hmmm… We must be close.

Zetsu moved swiftly examining the traps that failed to produce any bodies. "What the hell, nothing, no blood, only kunai and shuriken this person must be talented." He frowned. "This could be most problematic."

He continued forward, all traps were set off, every single one of them; even his ANBU rank traps were set off.

"We need to move, if this person could get past all of the traps she could prove very problematic." He sniffed the air… blood; he looked around and spotted a body.

Moving to investigate this find he blinked at the sight the fell before him. "I'm coming go home fools." He scowled. "We need to stop playing in the woods and go to head quarters." He went disappeared into the ground.

Okami's feet hit the ground silently, she stared around the camp sight, four asleep, one to be unsure about, and then her student. She leaned forward and brushed a hand over her cheek, slapping a hand over her mouth to cause the inhale of gasp, she looked over her, "What have they done to you?" She breathed lowly, and then shook her head, slowly gripping the woman gently and pulling her onto her shoulder, she glanced around, finding the scythe, she heard a grunt and hissed, "Be quiet."

She spotted the scythe next to the white haired man. She stared at it skeptically, a small frown on her lips as she remained undetectable. Silently, she set Akatenchii down back in the tree, murmuring, "I'll be back." And jumping off into the trees again, she would watch from a distance, and then plan a strike. She remained still and silent, one with the tree as the odd creature with the Venus fly trap on his head slid underneath her feet, not noticing her as she kept her weight feather soft, watching him move back towards her oddly student and rival.

Akatenchii was silent acting as if nothing had happened; she looked at Zetsu as he entered the clearing.

"Wake up!" He yelled watching his comrades slowly stir from their sleep.

"What the fuck crawled up your ass?" Hidan growled sitting up.

"We need to get to head quarters." Zetsu stated looking at the other four men as they started to get to their feet.

"Well it is obvious we need to get to head quarters yeah… but what has you rushed hmm?" Deidara looked at Zetsu.

"The only body I found was the body of an ANBU from mist, his throat was slit and his chest had a little message carved into it." Zetsu was starting to get annoyed.

"And what did this message say?" Kakuzu breathed out, he was ready to be rid of the ANBU that he was currently stuck with.

"The message said I'm coming go home fools, this person is evidently cocky and good enough to get through all of the traps, so we need to leave." Zetsu closed his eyes for a moment he was annoyed with the delay.

Okami fought back a growl from her tree, watching silently as the creature spoke, I am not cocky. You stupid mutated cabbage patch kid…. She smirked under her mask as the animal in her hissed, I just give full warning….you're fools for taking Aka-Ten-Ba from me… She was yanked from her thinking as she watched again.

"This person got through all of your traps Zetsu Senpai?" Tobi asked in a bit of shock.

"Yes Tobi this person got through all of them." Zetsu was starting to get impatient.

"Enough delay then un." Deidara stated reaching his hand into his pouch, letting his hand eat some clay.

Akatenchii watched her captures as they prepared to leave she was leaning against the tree still, being silent. This is a fucking three ring circus. She breathed out in a very soft sigh forcing all of the air from her body. Must you add your input all the time? She had escaped reality for the moment. What I think is what you think so yes. Her voice was odd some times. Of course. She was snapped back to reality by someone shaking her.

Deidara shook the scantly dressed woman. "Hey un! Come back to reality and breath." He stated holding her by her shoulders laughing as she took in a soft breath and looked up at him; her eyes were as black as the night the color put ever precious stone of dark luster to shame.

Akatenchii blinked and took a couple of slow measured breaths "I stopped breathing?" She looked into the blondes exposed turquoise eye.

"Yeah." He smirked at her, and grabbed her shirt front pulling her to her feet.

He closed his hand then opened it as the mouth spit out a clay bird he threw it and watched it expand. "I'll take her, seeing as my art is fast and it will take me about 15 minutes to get there from here, instead of and hour yeah." He looked at Zetsu.

"Well then don't just stand there Deidara, go." Zetsu growled looking at Akatenchii as she stood with the front of her cloak open and her chest covered only by fishnet and blood.

Deidara grabbed Akatenchii's arm and jerked her into his body to where her back was against his chest, he wrapped one arm around her chest bring his hand to rest on the side of her breast, his other arm wrapped around her legs restraining any movement she would have had.

Akatenchii closed her eyes. This getting carried thing is getting old. She shook her head although she agreed she was not about to struggle as she knew had a decisive disadvantage. There isn't anything I can do at the moment.

She took a slow breath. Could be worse. Her inner voice chuckled. Yeah how could it be worse? She just had to hear this one. You could still be being molested by a garden gnome instead of being held by a blonde transvestite. The voice rolled with laughter.

Deidara jumped onto the back of his art still holding the seemingly entranced woman, he smirked as his hand started licking her, this did not bother her then again he supposed if he had Zetsu and Hidan lick blood off of him that a hand licking him would not bother him either.

Hey guess what… The voice was rather excited. Akatenchii you are supposed to guess. There was a hint of agitation and she could careless. I don't need to guess when I can feel. She was trying to ignore the fact that she was getting licked, but she was snapped out of this when she felt something bite down on her.

Deidara held her still as his hand bit down on her breast licking the flesh, he felt her body go still, all breathing stopped. He chuckled and smirked as she turned to face him, her dark eyes had a look of shock to them.

"Stop touching me." She looked into his eyes and watched them darken just a bit.

"You don't seem to realize your current situation un." Deidara's eyes narrowed on hers.

"I am no fool, I am fully aware of the situation I am in." Akatenchii looked unfeelingly into the turquoise sea in front of her. "I know who you are I know what you are capable of, and I also know that if you were going to kill me you would have done it already, you would not have pussy footed around with my pathetic excuse for an existence."

Deidara nodded. "You are right; if it was not ordered that you were to be alive you would have been killed." He stated. "So un, Zetsu told us that you were following us, why?"

"The same reason you were following me, orders." She forced herself to relax against Deidara looking down at the scenery that was passing below.

"Orders hmm, what were your orders?" He asked moving the hand from her legs, slowly tracing it up her body to her chin making her face him.

Akatenchii fought odd sensations that went up her body causing her to almost shiver. "My orders are none of your business." She stated looking into his eyes once more.

"Well you are the captive, therefore it is my business yeah." Deidara held her chin giving her no option but to look at him.

"Well I may be a tool but I am not going to tell you my orders." Akatenchii was very matter of fact.

"Incase you have forgotten you have been captured un, I am your superior." He pulled her face a little closer. "If I tell you to do something you do it." His voice was a harsh whisper.

"And what are going to do if I don't?" She blinked. "You just admitted you aren't going to kill me."

"No I'm not going to kill you un." He moved his hand to her hair and pulled back twisting his hand slightly making her head turn to the side. "But I can do other things to you yeah."

Akatenchii raised an eyebrow at the threat. "What are you going to do, use interrogation tactics on me?" She relaxed her body more there was nothing he could do that had not already been done before.

"Hmm you are intelligent I have many interrogation tactics." He was dead serious and getting annoyed at her empty unfeeling eyes, they were like Itachi's, but they weren't cold or hateful.

"Tactics, hmm let me see, you could shove bamboo under my nails, cover me in thousands of tiny cuts and the cauterize the wounds then start over, you could start removing small limbs like my fingers or my toes, or even use a little water torture, you could whip me till I bleed, or pull every joint out of socket, then break my bones." She yawned lightly. "I can go on all day I am an Anbu interrogation is one of my specialties."

He smirked and leaned his face to where his nose was touching hers. "For an Anbu you were awful easy to catch un." He watched her eyes narrow on his slightly.

"Yes it would appear that I should not be an Anbu with how easy I was for you to capture, I mean I ran like a bitch." She strained against the hand that was holding her hand. "I was ordered not to fight."

Deidara raised an eyebrow. "This is why you did not fight us."

"I did only what I had to, to get away from your white haired comrade, which was not difficult." She closed her eyes.

"But you did not expect my art?" He asked with a bit of a grin.

"I have to say no the spider caught me off guard and was your saving grace." She sighed as she felt him let go of her hair, wrapping his arm around her waist.

Okami watched as the plant man went into the ground, and the other men took off in the same direction as the bird. "Aka-Ten-Ba I will take you back." She whispered taking off through the trees following the men. What the hell did they do to make her react like that? Her eyes narrowed on the men before her. They hurt her. Her beast snarled. Kill them, make them pay. She could taste her rage as it boiled to the brim. No, not yet, I still need them alive, if they die, then I have no chance to track Aka-Ten-Ba down.

"Does Zetsu even know what got through his traps?" Hidan asked looking at Kakuzu.

"Fuck if I know Hidan." Kakuzu grumbled looking ahead as they ran.

"Kakuzu senpai I know a quicker way from here." Tobi stated as they came to a split in the path.

"Then fucking tell us Tobi don't just stand there." Hidan scoffed as Tobi had completely stopped now.

Tobi looked at Hidan and walked over to a tree he performed several hand signs and touched his hands to the base of the tree making an entrance at the base appear.

"What the hell?" Kakuzu walked over to the tree. "Where does this go?" He looked at Tobi.

"This goes into the base it is an entrance that only leader, Zetsu and myself know about." Tobi stated crossing his arms. "And now you and Hidan know about it." He chuckled and walked down into the entrance.

Hidan raised an eyebrow then shook his head and walked into the entrance, Kakuzu followed silently.

Okami dropped out of the tree she was in as she watched as the men disappeared from view and the entrance started to close, she slid in and looked around. It could take a while to find Aka-Ten-Ba. Her beast growled silently, she moved to a wall and letting darkness surround her. She may not even be here yet. This thought was followed by a frown underneath her mask as she moved through the shadows.
