Chapter Ten
They couldn't find a way to bring up the question to her. She has been wearing those bandages since she left that family member back in Suna. Yet, she hasn't told them anything. Deidara has found himself growing more and more curious. Sasori is just muttering under his breath math equations to make time go by faster for him. The others, beside Itachi and Kisame, have left.
Kisame is walking next to her. Her green eyes are downcast for she is deep in thought. She seems to be thinking about something, something that is making them all go on edge.
Finally Deidara has enough and says, "What cha thinking, un?"
"That isn't any of your business." The girl answers.
Sasori finally says, "Itachi, how much longer till we are there?"
"We will reach there by midnight." The Uchiha answers and Sakura groans in frustration before she says, "Then why don't we fly?"
"Flying will catch attention and that is not acceptable." Itachi answers without any hint of emotion.
Sakura sighs again, but Kisame says, "You'll learn to know that we aren't as bad as everyone says we are. We're all ninja's after all. We take orders still, just like you take orders from Lady Tsunade."
After some time, about an hour, of walking is when Itachi says, "We will stop here for a rest."
They all move to sit under the trees. Sakura ends up between Deidara and Kisame. Itachi is next to Kisame and Sasori is next to Deidara.
Kisame pulls a bag out of the cloak they normally wear and hands them all apples. She isn't sure when they got the cloaks back. One minute they weren't wearing them and the next they were.
"So, what did you talk about inside that old building back in Suna, un?" Deidara asks the girl next to him and she answers, "Just some things about my family. Gave me a bit of a history lesson before she passes on. Something she needed to do for quiet some time."
"So, what types of things did you learn?" Sasori asks and she sighs as she asks a question of her own, "Why so talkative?"
"Don't know, little miss, but we have nothing to really talk about." Kisame answers and she nods her head slightly.
"So, uh, where is this place we are going to at?" Sakura asks and Itachi answers, "It is in the mountains."
"Ah." Is all she says to answer him, but inside she feels like tearing him in two.
"How old are you?" Sasori asks and then she answers, "I'm still fifteen. I fought you about five months ago, maybe a bit more then that. I don't turn sixteen for another three months."
Deidara seems to lighten up a bit and turns to look at her. He finds himself staring at her hair again. He then asks, "Why the hell do you have pink hair?"
"I was born with it." The kunoichi answers.
"Uh huh…." Kisame responds as he takes another bite of food…his apple.
Finally Sakura stands up and Deidara grabs her ankle. Before she can ask anything he pulls her back down. She lands rather oddly.
She is basically sprawled across the four of them. Her feet are resting on Sasori's lap, her legs, back, and her head are on Deidara and Kisame, and her arms are spread over the Uchiha's lap. Her face turns red and she 'tries' to sit up, but they just put their arms over her to keep her in place.
"Let go!" she growls out and they grin.
I never found myself trapped like this before. They managed to pen me down on their laps and I cannot free myself. Deidara just happens to be drawing one shape after another on my now bare stomach.
I am fighting back the urge to laugh. Why is he doing that in the first place? I then hear a chuckle from Kisame and his evil, emotionless partner…okay, he isn't emotionless per-say, but he's damn close!
I try to shift away from Deidara's evil fingers. Just at that moment something wet slides across my navel. My eyes widen in shock and then I glance down to see what he is doing.
He meets my gaze with a grin and he says, "I suggest you answer our questions or you may be…tasted…by my bloodline."
Okay, I understand what he meant about first taste. Yet, that doesn't sound too appealing. I wiggle around slightly and then I feel the teeth of his hand's mouth bite down on my tender flesh.
A gasp escapes me and my cheeks flame red. I do not want to be chewed up like clay!!! He increases the pressure of the bite as Itachi asks, "What is under the bandages?"
"A new tattoo." I say in a thick tone as I try not to laugh.
"What of?" Sasori asks this one and I answer, "Claw marks."
"What do they represent?" Kisame asks.
"I don't know. I just felt that it was the one I needed."
"What are you feeling now?" Deidara asks in a low, set tone and I answer in a shaky tone, "I-I don't know. I feel odd. Tingly."
I hear a light laugh from Deidara as the wet appendage runs over my waist again. Then I feel Sasori's chakra strings wavering over my limbs. I feel my horror unfolding faster then possible.
"What are you doing?" I ask out in a set, rough tone filled with anger.
"You'll see." Kisame answers.
"No, no I don't want to see! I want to be let up!" I bark out in panic and then Itachi is brushing my bangs from my face and I see the red of the Sharigan.
"NO!" I yell and I clamp my eyes close.
"Skittish little thing, ain't she?" Kisame asks and Deidara says, "Virgin she is, I'll give her that. She must be holding out for her loved one."
I feel my fear pulsing out of me now. I can feel something unfold within me. Then I hear the sleepy tone of Inner Sakura, 'What are you going to do?'
I don't know…I don't know…"I Don't Know!"
I end up yelling that. I feel chakra slam out of me in waves. I hear the intake of surprised breath from the four holding me down, but it isn't strong enough to cut through Sasori's wires of chakra.
I then struggle against his hold. I feel the chakra holding me. I can feel Inner Sakura becoming more awake in my soul, my mind, before Itachi hits the pressure point on the back of my neck, thus sending me into the world of dreams.
