Chapter 3

"A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it." – Don Herold

An hour or so had passed since the blonde criminal had casually thrown Avery across his shoulder. Avery was starting to feel sick, as he wasn't very slow as he walked, making her bounce on his shoulder. Avery glanced at Deidara and sighed, biting her lip. Tobi was standing next to Deidara on the other side, making Avery feel a little better that he wasn't right next to her. She knew he was smart, it wouldn't take him long to figure out that she didn't belong here. She just hoped that by the time he figured it all out, she would be home. As they made their way deeper into the woods the girl wondered what their hide-out was like. It got her mind off of her sick stomach.

"We're almost there, yeah." Deidara explained and but kept his blue eyes forward. Tobi jumped up and down, smiling. "I hope Itachi-san is home! He said that he'd teach me to 'get lost'. Whatever that means!" The masked man said excitedly. It took almost every fiber in Avery's being to keep her from face palming. It was shocking that he was such a good actor. He's got them all fooled…

They started to approach a huge rock but it wasn't the same one from when Naruto had gone to save Gaara. This one was located in the middle of the woods surrounded by trees. As they got closer to the bolder Avery's heart beat got faster. What are they going to do to me? Tie me up? Kill me? Throw me to Kisame's sharks…if he has sharks. They stopped a few feet away from the bolder and Tobi walked over to it, doing some hand signs. After a moment the bolder started to roll to the left. Avery's eyes widened in surprise. They must have a seal on it or something…interesting.

Once the bolder was out of the way Deidara carried Avery inside, Tobi following close behind. It was a long tunnel, dark and stuffy in Avery's opinion. As they walked down the tunnel lights started to come on above them. The tunnel floor was dirt and mud but the walls beside them were red with unique designs on them. Avery didn't pay attention to them though. As they got deeper into the hideout, Avery's gut feeling was telling her to kick, run, and wiggle her way out of this place. Only bad things can come from being here… A voice in the back of her mind whispered.

Finally there was a light at the end of the tunnel, literally. The light was still far off but Avery knew within minutes she'd know what was at the end of this tunnel. Deidara could smell the fear and anxiety coming from the girl as they walked. He felt half bad for her but then again she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Deidara knew that Leader-sama wouldn't kill her. They could probably use her to their advantage, even if it was only something small.

"Calm down, yeah. We aren't going to kill you, yeah." Deidara spoke softly to the girl.

"Why should I trust a criminal?" Avery hissed softly, making her anger known. "I guess I can't argue with you there, yeah…" Deidara confessed.

The light was closer now, only a few feet away. Tobi was jumping up and down excitedly. "I can't wait till Pretty Girl-Chan see's our hideout! It's so neat!" Tobi yelled. Deidara frowned and glared over at Tobi. "Shut up, yeah."

"Sorry Senpai…"

Avery almost felt bad for Tobi but then realized who he really was. Damn he's good.

As they walked through the light, Avery shut her brown eyes. Once they went through the door it closed behind them automatically. She slowly opened them again after she adjusted to the new light. The place was huge, way bigger than Avery expected. There was a couch and a side table next to it. There were odd paintings on the walls that she didn't understand. Connected to the living room was a kitchen with a large table. The table was mahogany as were the chairs. The kitchen it's self was small but was filled with different foods. In the kitchen there was a window, which from what Avery could tell showed a view of the forest. They were still in the woods somewhere.

The two opposite ends of the living room had a hallway, probably leading to the bedrooms. The walls were painted light red and the floor was now wood, not dirt or mud from the tunnel. All in all it was a nice place, probably took a long time to design and furnish.

"Nice place…" Avery mumbled. Deidara chuckled at her reaction and picked her up off of his shoulders and sat her on the ground. "It keeps a roof over our head so it's okay, yeah." Deidara commented.

Avery heard footsteps in the hallway and her heart rate sped up. It could be any of the many criminals the Akatsuki had to offer. Neither of them seemed like a good choice. Once Avery's eyes met this person who had been walking down the hallway she fainted.

Deidara gasped and ran over to her. "What the hell, yeah! She was fine a second ago…yeah." Deidara frowned and picked her up bridal style, sitting her onto the leather couch. The new person in the room frowned and walked over to Deidara, standing by him. "What the fuck is this bitch doing here?"

Deidara rolled his eyes and turned to look at a pissed off Hidan. "She is our new prisoner, yeah." He explained, glancing down at the girl. Hidan smirked and stepped closer to the couch. "This bitch is pretty cute." He grinned evilly. Deidara growled and pushed Hidan away. "No touching, yeah. Not until Leader-Sama tells us what to do with her."

Hidan frowned and stalked off down the hall, saying something like "Damn terrorist telling me what to do…" Deidara ignored it and turned around, seeing Tobi staring at Avery's unconscious form. "What are you looking at, yeah?"

"Avery-Chan. She seems different. She has no chakra." Tobi explained. Deidara was surprised at the intelligent comment but Tobi would do this sometimes, say things that made sense. "I guess you're right, yeah."

Deidara walked over to Avery and poked her cheek. "Wake up, yeah." Avery was still out cold. "Damn it, yeah."

"Senpai, I don't think she is going to wake up for a while." Tobi explained. The blonde sighed and nodded in agreement. "For once I agree with you. Just let her sleep for a while. We'll wake her up when Leader-Sama gets back. Until then don't touch her, yeah."

Tobi just nodded in agreement and went down the hallway Hidan had taken. Deidara wondered if he should stay and watch over her. He honestly rather be in his room making clay bombs or something, rather than watching this girl. He figured she could take care of herself and walked down the opposite hallway Tobi and Hidan had taken.

She'll be fine. She doesn't seem dumb or anything like that, yeah. Deidara thought as he was closer to his room now. He stopping in front of a yellow door and opened it. He threw off his coat and let it land on the floor. Deidara's room had light yellow walls and a large desk with clay and other tools on it. It was a nice size room with a twin bed. Other than the desk his room was pretty clean. He flopped onto the bed and sighed, rubbing his temples. Leader-Sama should be back tomorrow. I wonder when she'll wake up, or why she even fainted in the first place, yeah.

It was late now and Deidara was really tired. All he wanted to do was go to sleep and dream of bombing stuff, but his brain wouldn't let him. He kept thinking about the odd girl in the living room. Finally he closed his eyes and shook his head.

She is nothing of importance. Go to sleep stupid.
