I'd Be Lying

Chapter 2

"What! Chieri's missing?" Konohamaru shouted to Chiyo, who was calmly drinking tea. She placed her cup of green tea onto a wooden table. "Yes," she said bluntly with a blunt face. "Are you serious? Aren't you the least bit worried?" he asked her as he felt his sweat drop.

"Of course I am. But I believe she'll come back safe. You should too, Konohamaru." Chiyo said.

I believe her, but I'm just worried about her, Konohamaru thought to himself. He exited Chiyo's house and took off to the woods where he and Chieri trained the day before.

"Come back safely, Chieri," he whispered wistfully to himself.


"This wasn't thought through enough," Chieri complained softly to herself as she began to wander the woods obliviously.

"Why have you come to me so late at night?" Tsunade asked Chieri. She eyed her as she saw a red headed girl. She wore a red tank top over a fish net shirt. The girl had her hand placed on her hips, which were clothed with a matching red skirt with fishnet leggings. She removed her hand from her hip and bowed to Hokage.

"Good evening, Tsunade-san. Please excuse me, for I came at a late time. But I require information about Sasori," Chieri said, with her body arched to Tsunade. Tsunade placed her hands together, forming a bridge, and allowing her chin to rest on it.

"And why do you need information on someone of the Akatsuki?" she asked, obviously interested.

Chieri straightened her body and became flustered. She began to scratch her hair nervously. "I don't know how to explain this... But I found out I am Sasori of the Red Sand's little sister."Tsunade tried hard to hide her gasp of surprise. "And? Do you plan on finding him?"

Chieri began to shuffle her feet and she stared at the ground. "Yes… But if it wouldn't trouble you, can you show me what he looks like?"Tsunade closed her eyes and a smile curved.

"He looks like just like you. When you see him, you'll know,"

Chieri nods.

"Thank you, Tsunade. I will keep that in mind,"

She sighed. "She could've at least given me a picture of Sasori." She sat down on a close rock. She looked at her head protector, which was used as a belt around her red skirt. She closed her eyes as she began to relax. The chirping of the birds relaxed her and seemed to erase the stressful thoughts of Sasori being a criminal. She began to wonder if Sasori was a kind brother, one that would protect her and make her smile.

Chieri opened her eyes as she felt a surprisingly strong chakra inching towards her. She stood up from the rock. Then she whipped out her kunai and gripped it tightly.

"Who's there," she shouted. "Show yourself!"

Suddenly white clay figures were thrown to her. They came a few feet close to her face before exploding and releasing a large cloud of smoke.

She grunted as she managed to block it but was pushed back. Her vision was blurred from the smoke. When the smoke disappeared, she saw someone with long blond hair, most of which was tied back into a half ponytail. He had a head protector which had the symbol of Iwagakure, with a slash in the middle of it. He was dressed in a black cloak which was decorated with red clouds which seemed to intimidate her. He gave her a devious smile and his blue eyes seemed to be dark.

"Why would someone like you need a picture of Sasori no Danna? A fan girl, un?" he smirked at her. Chieri could feel her anger rising yet tried hard to keep it in.

How does he know my brother? Is he part of the Akatsuki? If he is then he is a S-ranked ninja…

Chieri felt her blood run cold and her hand began to shake furiously.

"Who are you," she mustered up enough courage to ask.

"My name is Deidara, not that it will matter. After all, you're going to die right here," he said as he rose his hand. Chieri stepped back at the sight of a mouth on his hand. The mouth spit out clay figures, which flew quickly towards her. Chieri jumped onto a branch of a nearby tree.

"What are you trying to do?" she shouted out to him. "Shut up!" he shouted at her. Chieri was scared, what more could she say.

"I didn't even do anything to you! Why are you attacking me?" she asked in confusion.

Deidara didn't answer her but shoved his hands into a bag. Then he took them out, with his hands clenched.

Not again!

As Chieri expected, he threw more exploding clay at her. She screamed in pain as she was blown back.

Chieri wanted to fight back but was taken over by fear. But, if he knows Sasori, then he will know answers. She fiercely brushed off the fear and lunged toward him. Deidara grinned as he had already prepared extra bombs. Chieri dodged them and in her hand, which held her kunai, lunged it towards one of his hands.

The blond ninja threw another batch of bombs toward her. Chieri didn't flinch and continued to go towards him. He grinned as he saw a large cloud of smoke covering her path.

"Raaahh!" she screamed as she ran through the smoke to Deidara's surprise. Her kunai was a few inches away from Deidara's unique hand. He was about to throw another batch of bombs when they both froze as the smoke faded.

"Deidara, where did you go," called out a nonchalant voice. Chieri dropped her kunai as her hand began to shake. Deidara's blue eyes followed the voice, as did Chieri's terrified eyes.

From the bushes revealed a tall but young man. He had messy short red hair and stale brown eyes. He was also wearing a cloak which looked exactly like Deidara's.

"He looks like just like you. When you see him, you'll know,"

Chieri's eyes widened.

Her mouth barely opened but released the words, "Sasori,"

The man gave Chieri a glance. His face remained blank.

Deidara knew he had an opening and he swiftly pinned her down with one hand over her head. "Sasori no Danna, do you know this girl? She wanted your picture or something like a stalker." Deidara began to laugh. Sasori gave Chieri a long look. Chieri was certain that this man was her brother.

"I'm not a stalker, I'm his sister!" Chieri cried out as she tried to wiggle out of Deidara's tight grasp. Sasori's blank eyes suddenly shined for a split second.

"Chieri?" he said in a monotonous tone but seemed to be filled with compassion.

I know she met Sasori too quickly but I didn't know what to do for fillers. Please excuse my poor attempt in fighting scenes. Please review!
