HEY THERE, EVERYONE!

Thank you so much for the reviews! You guys are AWESOME! :D

So, It's Christmas Break! (finally)

Disclaimer: No, I do NOT own Naruto and the song..

"SONG LYRICS"

"NORMAL POV"

"FLASHBACK/THOUGHTS"

The song here is "The Bird and The Worm" by Owl City. Okay, I'm like, a major Owl City freak right now. xDD

ON WITH THE FIC! :D

"O-okay..I trust you." I said.

"Great." Deidara replied with a smile.

CHAPTER TWO!

"It's all just a bad dream. Just a bad dream. Breathe. Relax." I kept repeating to myself. Unfortunately, this isn't a dream. It's real.

I woke up with the sun gleaming brightly. I looked around the room they let me stay in. It's not so bad. It has a fairly big bed, a dresser, a closet, proper ventilation and a bathroom. I got up and brushed my hair. I didn't need to brush it too much because I have really short hair, kind of like Hinata's hair. Hinata. I missed her so much. I couldn't wait to see her and Kiba, Shino and all the others. Then I suddenly got mixed up in this mess.

I was still thinking about my days in the academy when I heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, you up yet?" It was Kisame.

"Yeah. I'm just gonna change clothes and I'll come out." I said.

"Well, hurry, okay? Breakfast might get cold."

"Aye aye, captain!" I replied teasingly.

+++BREAKFAST TIME+++

Every single Akatsuki member stared at me as I walked down the stairs towards them.

"Good morning, Akemi!" Deidara waved.

"Hi..good morning." I said shyly.

There was something about this guy that makes me feel weird. Good weird.

Deidara saved me a seat. How nice of him. I walked over to sit down, but suddenly, a man with silver hair blocked me.

"Hey there. I'm Hidan." He said.

"Uh, hi." I answered flatly.

"Hidan, Halloween's over ages ago. Stop scaring the kid." Said Kisame.

"Hey, she is NOT scared!" Hidan muttered curses under his breath.

"Okaaay. I guess I'll go sit down now." I said.

The food was surprisingly great. They made tamagoyaki and miso soup.

"Wow, this meal tastes great!" I exclaimed.

"Glad you like it." Said a blue-haired girl. I'm Konan."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Akemi Yuma." I replied.

I finished breakfast and volunteered to do the dishes. Deidara decided to help me.

"Thanks for deciding to help me." I said, while getting a sponge.

"No problem. I like washing the dishes." He said, smiling. "So, what made you volunteer to do the dishes?"

"It's a way of saying 'Thanks for not treating me as a hostage and tying me up.' Most hostages are killed." I replied.

"To tell you the truth..Leader wanted to get rid of you." He said.

"WHAT?!" My heart thumped. Is Deidara going to kill me HERE and NOW?

"Luckily, someone convinced him not to." He continued. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who did?" I asked curiously.

"Me." He smirked.

"Aww, thanks, Dei!" I said, as I hugged him.

"You're welcome."

After finishing the dishes, we decided to take a walk in the forest. Konan agreed, but she asked Deidara not to wear the cloak.

+++IN THE FOREST+++

"So, why did you join Akatsuki?" I asked Deidara.

"Itachi made me do it. I lost in our battle so I had to join." He answered.

"Oh..so you wouldn't be in the Akatsuki if you won?"

"Yeah. I used to regret losing before."

"Used to?"

"I changed my mind."

"Since when?"

"Yesterday."

"Why?"

"Cause.." He faced me.

"I wouldn't have met you if I didn't lose."

I felt myself blushing madly. And, without another word, I held his hand as we walked back.

You're the bird, I'm the worm

and it's plain to see

that we were meant to be…

So. how'd you guys like it?

I know it's short..other chappies WILL be LONGER. :)
