This is the last chapter of Getting Freedom. *tears* I just want to thank everyone who has read it this far and honestly I've thought about the ending so many times and yet it changes slightly. If you don't like the ending and aren't satisfied tell me and I'll change it so that it is. Not having a good ending can be the worst and I don't want to do that even if it isn't intentional.

Ruri began her hand signs. Usually they weren't a big deal but today they would unseal Maeva. She created a heart with her hands before breaking it into and "S" symbol. Her mind thought of the word sinister before she felt that familiar agonizing pain.
Ruri felt the flesh on her back tear and let out a scream. Bat like black wings were growing out of her back. Fangs grew in her mouth and she knew her eyes were there purple color. Her body flooded with the feelings of intense power and bloodlust. Somehow the two go hand in hand.
"What the hell are you?" Danzo asked disgusted.
"I'm the vessel for Maeva one of the two creators of the world. While the other one created life Maeva only brought death," Ruri said voice more dark. She began to walk and the grass died beneath her feet. "Every time I kill something no matter how small I'm given strength."
She pulled the rod from her boot and extended it. The usual purple blade came from it. A sadistic sneer appeared on Ruri's face she looked crazy, she looked like something no one ever thought of her as; a murderer.
"I think beheading is the best option." Ruri let out a cackling laughter.
It's not her, It's not her Deidara repeated to himself. He didn't want to believe that this thing flying mercilessly at this old man was Ruri. This was the reason why she had hated to be called perfect, even human. No, this wasn't Ruri; this was that girl inside of her.
Everything she seemed to touch died. A tree she landed on seemed to wither. Everyone watching was completely stunned. It was worse than a tailed beast at least they had to attempt to kill something. With her it just happened.
The look on Ruri's face became more excited as she ripped through the flesh of Danzo's good arm. He barely had time to dodge and block. Although he was a powerful shinobi it was impossible for him to do anything.
It was clear who would win.
OO00OO
Karin got to the gate of Konoha in record time but panting heavily. The guards looked at her confused.
"I need Yukiko!" she shouted not knowing where her loud voice came from. "Ruri she brought back the Uchiha and needs help in the forest a man is threatening her. I need Kiyoshi as well!"
The two looked at her stunned. Ruri needed help? To them they were supposed to capture her. The two chunin weren't jounin so they hadn't been informed like all the jounin in the village of Ruri's actual job.
OO00OO
"I need Yukiko!"
Yukiko snapped her head to the source. It was a woman with red hair and glasses. She hadn't seen her ever before it must be another Yukiko it wasn't an uncommon name. She read the female's lips and saw the name 'Ruri'. Instantly the grocery bag she had been carrying was on the ground.
"I'm Yukiko! Where's Ruri?" She asked frantically. "This an order from me as a Senpai go inform the Hokage of Ruri's arrival and do anything this person asked of you."
"But-"
"I don't care if she told you to run around smacking your balls together you'll do it if it helps Ruri," the blonde spat. There it was that temper that belongs only to the Hokage's students. Instantly the men were gone.
OO00OO
"My Lord a ninja has informed us of a emergency meeting with the Hokage," a man with black hair said. "It has to do with Ms. Ruri"
Kiyoshi grabbed the documents about Danzo and began to run to the Hokage tower. It was a rare sight that a noble would ever rush to do anything especially one as high up as Kiyoshi.
When he burst through the Hokage's office he saw that she was already with the Kazekage, Maikaia, and Genma. Where was Yukiko?
"Good you're here," Tsuande said. "Ruri is on the outskirts of Konoha, however she has been intercepted by someone from Konoha. Usually it wouldn't be a problem but it's Danzo."
"What if I were to go over immediately and separate them," Gaara asked. This was certainly an interruption for his meeting Maikaia's parents.
"You can't it would cause issues with the alliance," Genma answered. "Danzo has so much power it would be impossible to stop him."
"Ruri teleported with a group…" Maikaia whispered. "I think Ruri is going to kill him." The room looked at her speechless but she would know. "She's exhausted and all of us except Gaara-Kun know that she gets energy from life sucking out of things, by killing. She's no doubt in that form."
The room went dead silent. Gaara was confused but picked up that Ruri wasn't all he thought she was at first.
"I have evidence of Danzo's betrayal," Kiyoshi placed the documents in the Hokage's hand. "I was supposed to reveal it after her return to the village; I think its close enough right now. It shows his corporations with the Akatsuki and how he set up the Uchiha massacre. Ruri had this sent a while back."
The Hokage quickly read through the report. Ruri had always been good with words. Whether it was speaking or writing up missions reports. Ruri had found a way to make those interesting. It was not surprising that the documents were well written. It was surprising how she could've smeared shit on it and the incriminating evidence could still convict Danzo. How had this been missed for years?
"When Ruri kills Danzo we will have her cover for leaving the village," Tsuande said after a while. "We will wait for Ruri to come back. Yukiko is already on her way to them for medical assistance. Have faith that Ruri will complete her mission, like always."
The room took a turn for dead silence again. Could they wait?
Maikaia was aware that Maeva's form sucked up most of Ruri's sanity. If she was exhausted before she could still be exhausted after if she kept using her power.
OO00OO
Ruri continued to take swipes at Danzo cutting into his flesh and smelling the beautiful aroma of blood. It filled every sense of her being. It wasn't simply a want at this point, it was a need. She needed the beauty of death. Somewhere in the back of her mind she could hear Maeva's laughter, her absolute joy.
Ruri couldn't bring herself to care as she cut again into Danzo's torso. She cursed inwardly she had missed an artery just barely. That artery would've gushed gorgeous blood.
Ruri landed on a self supported purple translucent platform looking down at Danzo's pathetic form. She smirked the man looked terrified her wanted to run for his life. Coward.
For once her face was unsmiling a blank expressionless mask. That struck fear into every person there. No matter how much she had been hiding something she had at least had emotion. No one knew that Ruri was emotionless because she knew it would be her last move.
She began making hand signs while spinning on one leg. One by one sheets of psychic waves poured out from her body gathering above her. She stopped her spinning but had a hand sign held.
"Psychic Rose," she spoke. Normally it wouldn't have been heard but everything was dead silent.
The petals of the purple rose dispersed flying towards Danzo.
He didn't have a chance. He was strong that was obvious if he lasted this long, but this technique was meant to kill however many people she wanted to. For one man there was no escaping death was absolute.
Each wave cut into a part of his body and he could feel it every second until he died.
Maeva's control slipped away from her body. Her breathing was shallow and she was exhausted. The purple platform supporting her body disappeared and she began to fall. Those seconds were her last. She turned to look at Deidara. His eyes met her emerald ones for the last time. He was running towards her he'd catch her not matter what.
He caught her and the tears started to fall. They were all safe given a chance at life again. Those who had left, saved, hurt, betrayed and she the most loyal of them all was dead. How was that fair?
"You didn't have to die smiling," he whispered into her ear. Before lightly kissing her.
"Move!" A girl shouted. "Set her down right now."
Deidara didn't want to listen to her but did so anyway. He watched as the girl made rapid hand signs. An unusually cloudy icicle appeared and she stabbed her heart. Deidara growled at her, ready to kill her.
"She needs her necklace," Yukiko whispered. "Where's her fucking necklace!"
Deidara took it out and placed it in her hands. The girl immediately fastened it to her neck and began hand signs.
"If you die on me now Ruri I'm going to create a jutsu that will go specifically to the afterlife to bug you until you come back to life," Yukiko pleaded.
The icicle started to glow and everyone just watched. That's all they could do.
OO00OO
Deidara was in the hospital alongside a few people. He knew the two girls were her former teammates and the one with a Senbon in his mouth was her captain. The Kazekage stood comforting the one with pig-tails while two other men were just simply there.
One seemed like a dog boy and had clan markings on his cheeks. The other was clearly not a ninja. His skin was far too fair and un-calloused to have done any manual work. That and something about him screamed rich snob.
"Who are you to Ruri," the girl called Yukiko asked him. Deidara looked at her and had unwavering confidence.
"I'm her fiancé," Deidara replied. That grabbed the attention of the two males. Although it wasn't official it would be after she woke up. It wasn't an 'if' to Deidara it was a when. He knew her she was way too stubborn to not wake up.
"You're not her type," the blonde one replied.
"Oh and you are you stupid prick!" the brunette yelled. He had a snarl on his face.
"No doubt Ruri will set you both straight when she wakes up," Deidara said crossing his arms and leaning against the wall behind him. That drew silence in the room; all of them were staring at him.
"For knowing her you have so little faith." He chuckled. "The best Medic ninja, your Hokage, is healing her right now. Ruri has never failed a mission. Her mission was to return to this village and see her team. She hasn't left any mission uncompleted and she's way to self obsessed not to."
Surprisingly he got a laugh from Yukiko. It seemed a little pained but it felt genuine.
"I believe him," Maikaia said. "Only Ruri would choose someone like him. I do believe you're a little dim." She placed her hand to her mouth in innocence.
Deidara's brow twitched but let it slide. Right now he was not in the mood to get the Kazekage even madder. Deidara had killed him so the fact that they weren't trying to kill each other was an achievement.
OO00OO
"Do you even want to wake up Ruri?" Maeva asked looking at Ruri's form. One of her eyes was amethyst the other was emerald.
"Of course I do," Ruri answered. "However with you there is always a price to pay and I'm not killing another person again."
"You're halfway to death. I would be your savior. I can help you. Don't you want to see Deidara again?"
That made Ruri's breath catch in her throat. Her heart started pounding with a need for him; his voice, his touch, and his love. The second she was reminded she wanted it, badly.
"Name your price," Ruri stated.
"I'm more interested in what you will give me. You can pick if I find it adequate you can wake up, one wrong answer and you're done for." The sadistic smirk on Maeva's face made Ruri glare at her.
What did she have that Ruri wanted? Ruri thought about it. She had given everything to Maeva; her body, her mind, her soul. Well none of that had been voluntary but the fact she had technically given up her life was. Why she was around this long Maeva usually got bored of her vessels and took over control forcibly after a year or so. Then it hit her, she was Maeva's favorite, she could use that.
"I'll give you one of my female decedents every generation," Ruri offered. "Although I'm putting them through hell itself they can be raised to be able to control your power just as I have. Surely you would love to have a me every generation because I am your favorite."
"That's very true you might as well wake up."
OO00OO
That's the end of the official story. Aren't you happy I'm including an epilogue? Here's a fun fact about the story. All of my OCs have names that reflect their appearance, character, or abilities. Ruri means emerald and was given to her because of the color of her eyes. Yukiko who uses ice was named that because it means snow child. Maikaia means dancing flame and was named because of her flame ability and offering to Suna. Even Maeva was given a name based on meaning. Her name means Sinister or witch. That would explain some things. I know I'm so creative right? Well anyway on with the Epilogue!
Epilogue Ten Years later
Ruri walked down the streets of Konoha with both of her hands occupied. One was occupied by her son Yuki and the other by his twin sister Mai. They had traits of both their mother and father.
Yuki had light brown hair and his mother's emerald eyes. However he had his father's blood line trait and childish nature. He was the younger out of the two by about ten minutes right now he was four.
His sister Mai never let him forget about being the younger sibling. She had her father's blue-grey eyes and her mother's curly hair and mischievous nature. Others would always tease her though for emotional ways.
"Mommy where are we going?" Yuki asked gently tugging on her hand. Ruri smiled down at him.
"Aunty Hinata said that you can stay with her, Uncle Naruto, and Minato tonight," Ruri said. The Uzamaki family was one everyone took pride in. Naruto had become one of her close friends after bringing back Sasuke.
Naruto had risen up to the position of Hokage after helping Sasuke his advisor defeat Madara in a final decisive battle of the last Great War which lasted five years. Naruto had finally realized how Hinata had always been there, got married and had a son. Sasuke however had to have Sakura beat some sense into him before he realized his true feelings for the girl.
Maikaia had fought with the Suna forces officially making her a Suna shinobi. Although her family had been reluctant it's very hard to say no to the Kazekage. They had gotten married during the war not being able to wait long. Ruri had a feeling it was because Maikaia wanted to remain pure and Gaara could be a very impatient man.
Ruri however had waited until after the war and planned a traditional wedding. Her two children had been conceived on her wedding night with Deidara who had settled in with the rest of the Akatsuki nicely.
Him, Sasori, Itachi, and Kisame had chosen to remain in the leaf after the war. Itachi was living on the Uchiha compound's main house as the heir should. He had made sure to assign Sasuke and Sakura a house far away from him. Kisame wasn't technically in Konoha but was close enough. He was with Kiyoshi and Kimiko as Kiyoshi's Rose Ninja. As coincidence would have it the girl Ruri had pushed off Deidara would marry Kiyoshi because she was nobility.
Sasori however had taken Maikaia's spot in the former team Genma. Ruri had always said he was her teammate. For the most part he refused to do missions without her and Deidara, but he was becoming more trusting of others. That and he was a knock out with women, who would've guessed.
"Mommy why are we staying over at their house tonight," Mai asked her.
"Well uhh…" Ruri stammered. How does one describe to children what she and Deidara want to do uninterrupted? "We are going to have a special night to celebrate our marriage." Yes, that was the safe answer.
"We can celebrate with you!" Yuki pouted. He was such a momma's boy and Mai was such a daddy's girl. No matter what though Ruri would never encourage incest especially one between parents and siblings.
"We're celebrating things the adult way," Ruri answered. "When you get married you can celebrate things the adult way too." Both of her children whined and complained.
"I want to get married to uncle Sasori," Mai cheered.
"Like hell you will," Ruri muttered so her children couldn't hear her.
They approached the house and as soon as the door opened the ran to Naruto. Him being a big kid certainly helped his interaction with children. Ruri smiled at Hinata.
"Thanks for watching them for the night," Ruri said bowing.
"You have got to stop doing that," Hinata said quietly. She knew Ruri only did it to embarrass and remind her that she was married to the Hokage. "I hope you have a lovely evening with Deidara. What did you get him for a present?"
"Same thing I get him every year," Ruri replied. "Myself but this time instead of a cat costume I cover the bed with rose petals. Ruri smiled as she watched Hinata blush at the mention of her sex life however Ruri felt like it wasn't from naivety but rather experience. "Thanks again Hinata I will pick them up after I'm finished with my genin students tomorrow."
"Yes see you then," Hinata said waving.
OO00OO
Deidara was approaching the gates of Konoha with Sasori, Yukiko and Itachi. After a particularly grueling mission he was happy to be back home, and it was their wedding anniversary, he knew her present already he was so excited.
"That's it," Deidara snapped. Yukiko and Sasori both gave him a puzzled look. "I'm running back to Konoha. You two can make the report to present tomorrow. Right now I need Ruri bye." With that Deidara took off running towards Konoha.
"So happy Naruto made it so those two can't go on overnight missions together," Yukiko said.
"I'm surprised their children aren't mentally scarred," Sasori agreed. "They go at it like wild animals."
"You two should just be happy you weren't the ones who had to discover them during intimacy on a mission," Itachi muttered. Yukiko busted into a fit or laughter while Sasori just smirked at the disturbed expression on his face."
OO00OO
"Ruri," Deidara groaned as she took control of their kiss and straddled his legs at the edge of the bed taking his shirt off. He opened his eyes to see amethyst ones looking back at him. "Don't you even-"
It was two late Ruri had already bound his hands behind his back. He glared at her but she only had a playful smirk on her face.
"Dei-Dei you're really hard from just a little kissing," she teased before nibbling on his ear. She moved down to the waist of his pants and removed them along with his black boxers. "You know I swear you've gotten bigger since two weeks ago."
Before he could retaliate she took a long slow lick down his staff. She came back up and blew across his sensitive head. She took it into her mouth and sucked gently. Deidara groaned when she finally took him fully into her mouth. He wanted to tangle his hands in her curly hair and push her faster but his hands were tied, literally. She began to bob her head up and down. He could only watch. He groaned out her name. She hummed and looked up at him with innocent eyes. As soon as looked into them her came. She gulped it down except for a little left on her lips.
"It's thick," Ruri said before licking her lip. "You didn't do it while you were gone?" Deidara felt his cheeks warm slightly, his wife was far to observant.
Ruri pushed him to the bed and started kissing and grinding her heat on him. Soon enough Deidara was getting hard at just feeling her close to him.
She sat up propping a hand on his chest and using one to guide Deidara to her entrance. She slowly impaled herself on his length letting out a long but soft moan in the process. Deidara clenched his jaw as she began to move up and down at a slow pace and roll her hips. He could tell from the expression on her face she was hitting all of her sensitive spots but her pace was still too slow.
"Ruri," he groaned. "God damn it! Untie my hands and let me touch you." He felt her twitch inside.
Her only response was to lift her hands off his chest and to her breasts and tweak a nipple. She was totally not listening to him and Deidara frowned before smirking. At the perfect moment he thrust into her causing an orgasm to overtake her. His hands were freed because she couldn't concentrate on them.
Instantly the slow pace was shattered as Deidara sat up and pushed into her hard and fast. His hands didn't know where to start he was so deprived. At first they went to the back of her head and tangled into her hair bringing her into a deep kiss. Then they massaged her breast being sure to take a nipple into the mouths. Finally he settled them on her hips bringing them up and down bouncing her wildly on top of him.
"Deidara!" Ruri screamed as her orgasm came suddenly. The second she clamped down on him Deidara let out a throaty groan and spilled his seed into her.
Deidara fell back and Ruri rolled off of him. He could already feel the playful smile she was giving him.
"So how was the mission?" Ruri asked him. He looked at her brilliant emerald eyes and couldn't help the gentle smile that came across his face. It was a smile only reserved for his wife and kids.
"It was very uneventful and not challenging in the least," Deidara answered. "How's the genin team? If they aren't dead by now."
"I would never kill children!" Ruri said faking outrage. "They are a little rough around the edges but I'm sure they can be really great. Only if they would learn that ninjas don't have to be alone."
"It's good lesson to teach them young." Deidara ran a hand gently on her cheek. He could tell by the way her eyes were fluttering she was drifting off to sleep. "I love you."
"I love you too," Ruri said. "If you ever leave me I'll rip your testicles out and feed them to the slut that took you away."
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Both of them laughed before slowly drifting off to sleep locked in each other's arms. Both could only think about how lucky they were.
OO00OO
That's the end! It wasn't fully edited so I'm sorry for any mistakes! I'm also going to tell you a little bit more about the story just in case you had a wtf moment while reading this at any point.
GaaraXRuri: Originally Ruri was going to stay with Gaara but I realized that Ruri wouldn't actually have any common goals as Gaara. Even though he was OOC Gaara would still want acceptance and peace while Ruri would want freedom and those she loved to be protected. Then I felt bad for leaving poor Gaara alone and paired him up with Maikaia. Why? Well when you mix fire and sand you get glass and I find that to be a beautiful thing.
YukikoXKiyoshi: They aren't really a couple. You find out about that in Ice Princess and the Cold Hearted Knight (SasoriXYukikoXNeji). It's Yukiko's love story that takes place a year after the epilogue. It will be the next story I put my main focus on and I hope it will be good. I also did a plot outline so hopefully I can post multiple times a week. Yeah it would just be too weird if both of Ruri's teammates ended up with people she slept with.
Karin: I have to admit I actually hate this character but I had to put aside my hate for her to write this. Ruri would put faith in others until she has reason not to.
Writing advice: After writing this whole little series I realize the one thing that really made a few chapters better than others. The chapters where the character seemed to be reaching a goal were the best ones. So in other words giving you're a character a reason to live can make or break a story.
Thank you for reading this and I always accept reviews.
