HEY EVERYBODY! :)

I'm back with a new chappie! I'm really sorry if it's late, I had exams and mom doesn't want me using the laptop.

In this chappie, a new OC will be debuting. She's Deteiku, the match maker! She has brown shoulder-length hair and green eyes.

Who's she gonna end up with? Read on to find out! OC was given by lg1514. :D

It was three in the morning when I heard a knock on my door. I ignored it at first, but it wouldn't stop so I dragged myself out of my bed and went straight to the door. When I opened it, I wasn't surprised on who I found.

"Good morning, Akemi!" Deidara grinned.

"Geez, Dei! I know today is when Operation A.A.I. (a/n: Operation Ami and Itachi) will start, but why should we start in the middle of the night?" I asked, yawning.

"I've heard that the matchmaker we're looking for practices her rituals at the park at 4 a.m. so you better get dressed if you want our plan to work!" He said enthusiastically.

"Uh, Dei?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Yessss?" He grinned.

"You drank four bottles of energy drinks again, didn't you?"

"Yep!"

+++WALKING ALONG THE STREETS+++

"Dei, what time did you wake up?" I asked curiously.

"Eight in the morning!" He replied, still grinning.

"That was yesterday."

"Uh-huh!"

"So you didn't sleep?"

"Nope!"

"Aren't you sleepy?"

"Nope!"

"Why not?"

"Two words: Energy drinks." He said as he counted two.

"O-kay? Uh, so where is the matchmaker you're talking about?"

"Well, I don't see her ye—Oh wait, there she is!" He pointed as he ran towards the woman facing a tree.

"Wait for me!" I shouted. Man, he sure does have a lot of energy!

I finally caught up with him, breathing heavily.

"Are you okay, Akemi?" He asked.

"Well, not really…I didn't drink any energy drinks, y'know." I puffed.

"Sorry…I'm just really excited for Itachi."

"It's okay."

"Next time, let's just ride on one of my birds."

"I NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE OF RUNNING WHEN WE COULD HAVE RIDDEN ON YOUR BIRD?!" I angrily said.

"well…" Deidara sweat dropped.

"Nevermind." I said, as we approached the matchmaker.

"Hi" We both said, tapping her shoulder.

"What can I do for you, kids?" She said in a silky voice.

"Uhm, we'd like you to help us with…" I was cut off.

"With you and your boyfriend?" She interrupted.

I blushed. "Oh, ah—no, he's not my boyfriend. We want to help our friends get together, 'cause they're too introverted to admit it to one another."

"Oh, well…I'll see what I can do." She said.

+++BACK AT THE BASE+++

I knocked on the door. "Guys, we're back!"

Konan opened the door with a serious face.

"H-hi, Konan-sama..is anything wrong?" I nervously asked.

"Leader wants to see you." She said firmly.

I went down the hall silently. The only thing you can hear is the loud pounding of my heart. I stood in front of Leader's door, and I knocked.

"Come in." He said in a low, heavy voice.

"Y-you wanted t-to see m-me, Leader-sama?" I stammered.

"Yes, Akemi. Did you realize what you did?"

"U-uhm, n-no, Leader-sama"

"You went out of the base without my approval and brought someone with you! What if that person is a spy?"

"W-well..D-deidara said h-he knew that g-girl, and I thought he a-already told y-you that w-we're going out." Deidara is SO dead!!

"He did not tell me anything. Now, I want that girl out of here!"

"But Leader-sama, we need that matchmaker!" I said. I was surprised I didn't stutter.

"For what?" He snapped back. I can tell he's way angrier than before.

"For Itachi and Ami! Come on, Leader-sama! Haven't you ever been in love?"

He cleared his throat. "I have. I still am."

"Please let the matchmaker stay, Leader-sama!"

"Fine. But if Anything goes wrong, you'll pay for it."

I smiled. "Thank you so much!"

After that, I rushed out the hall, and made my way to Deidara's room. I banged on the door loudly.

"DEIDARA!! OPEN UP THIS INSTANT!!!" I shouted.

"What, is there a problem?" He asked me.

I wanted to rip his arms off. "The PROBLEM is, YOU didn't sell Leader-sama that we're going out to get the matchmaker! I got in trouble because of YOUR irresponsibility!!"

"Woah, calm down, Akemi!"

"Calm down?! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN I GOT IN TROUBLE BECAUSE OF AN IDIOTIC PARTNER?!"

"Take it easy!"

"Oh, when I am done with you, you will come out of this room crawling!!!"

"Really? So when do I take my clothes off?" He smirked.

"YOU MORON!!!"

And the next thing he knew, he was in Kakuzu's room, getting his arms stitched back.

+++BACK AT THE LIVING ROOM+++

"Hi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I just had to handle some important things. I'm Akemi. It's nice to meet you!" I said, as I extended my hand to the matchmaker.

"I'm Deteiku. It's nice to meet you too!" She said, shaking my hand. Her green eyes sparkled.

"You have really pretty eyes!" I said.

"Thank you!" She smiled.

"So, uhm, about my friends…y'see, Ami's my sister, and she likes Itachi, and she doesn't want anyone to know. Itachi likes her back, but he doesn't want anyone to know, either." The story poured out of me.

"Oh…I see..so, we just have to find a way to get them together, right?"

"Yep. But we don't know how, so we hired you."

"Mm-hmm…let's see what I can do. I'll observe each of their behaviors in a week."

"Okay, thanks."

I led Deteiku up the stairs to the guest room, when suddenly, we were blocked by the 'trouble bros'—none other than Hidan and Hidori.

"Who do we have here?" Hidan asked with a smirk.

"Hidan, meet Deteiku. Deteiku, Hidan." I said. "Now let's get moving."

"Hey, what about me?" Hidori whined.

"Oh. Deteiku, that's Hidori." I turned to Hidori. "Happy?"

"Yeah." He smiled.

"Okay, now..moving on." I said.

Deteiku looked back at Hidan. He waved at her. She smiled back.

"How old is that Hidan guy?" She asked me.

"Twenty-two. Why?" I asked curiously.

"Nothing." She blushed.

"Wait, you like him, don't you?" I cooed.

"Well, he is kinda cute, but I don't know if he's the type of man I want." She replied.

"What type of man do you like?"

"I guess I'm into gore and stuff…so he has to be a slayer."

Hidan was definitely a slayer. A bloody one, too. "He is! He also plays mean pranks on me…like the time I went to the bathroom one morning and His disembodied head was on the toilet seat."

"Cool! Does he have a girlfriend?"

"I'm not sure, but I don't think he has one."

Deteiku smiled. We made it to the last door in the hall.

"So, here's where you'll be staying." I said, as I lead her inside.

"Thanks." She placed her bag on the bed.

I smiled and left her room. At dinner time, Deteiku sat beside Hidan. Ami was far from Itachi, but I caught her looking at him for a few times, as well as Itachi looking at Ami, but they never met each other's gaze. After dinner, Itachi and Ami just passed each other by. I told Deteiku what I noticed during dinner time, and she took down notes.

"By next week, I can guarantee that they're going to be together. Their love for each other is strong, but their shyness is stronger…all we have to do is break the ice." Deteiku explained.

She doesn't know that the ice we're supposed to break is like getting Hidan to eat vegetables. In short, it was nearly impossible. The next day, Deteiku and Hidan were together again. I guess Hidan's gonna help with the plan, too. I went over to them.

"Hey Deteiku, don't tell me you're a couple already!" I joked.

"Well, actually…we are." She grinned.

"What? How?" I was shocked.

"Let's just say he showed me something last night and—"

"Oh I do NOT wanna know!" I interrupted.

Both of them laughed.

"Hey Akemi, I think you should check on Deidara. He's been pretty down lately." Hidan said.

Deidara didn't go out of his room since yesterday. He didn't even show up at dinner. I guess I did too much damage…

I owe him an apology, so I went upstairs to his room.

"Dei-kun?" I said, as I knocked on his door.

The door opened. It was really dark inside.

"Deidara, listen…I-I'm sorry about your arms…are you feeling a bit better?" I softly asked.

"I'm fine." He said firmly.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"No. I was never mad at you."

"You sound mad."

"I'm not"

I guess he just needs some space.

"Okay…I guess I'll be going then." I said, as I made my way out.

He blocked the door, and his face was inches from mine.

"Wha—" He moved his lips to mine. It took a second or two for me to realize it, and I stepped back.

"What was that all about?" I asked.

"S-sorry…I just…well, I think I'm in love with you." He blushed.

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Then why would you make me worry like this and avoid me for twenty-four hours?"

"So you'd come here. It was all part of the plan." He smirked.

"Even with Leader-sama?"

"Yep. I asked Deteiku for advice and she told me this was it."

"You went through all of that trouble for me?"

"Uh-huh."

I stepped closer to him and kissed his lips.

"Well then, I love you too, Dei-kun."

He smiled.

WHAT HAPPENS TO OPERATION A.A.I.?

Tune in! And there will also be someone who might break up a certain couple! A new OC, perhaps? -_^
