I woke up the next morning and didn't bother to get my glasses; I was tired enough already. I turned around and smiled tiredly at Deidara; he was awake. "Good morning Kitty" he said as he rested his arms on my waist. I yawned "hmmm morning sweetie" I mumbled wearily. He smiled and pulled me closer to him "last night was fun, wasn't it?" he asked. I grinned devilishly "yes, it was" I replied. I yawned again and stretched. Deidara took my glasses and put them on me. "hmmm, I see my sexy man" I said in a giggly voice.
He grinned and chuckled "and I see my sexy woman yeah" he said. He held my hand and we looked into each other's eyes. I scooted myself closer to him and gave him a kiss. He wrapped his arms affectionately around my waist, my arms wrapped around his neck. He broke the kiss and looked at me "hey Kitty, do it un" he said. I rose an eyebrow "do wha- oh, I know what your talking about" I said. He grinned "yeah, do that!" he said. I sighed "alright, fine" I replied. I made my hand into a claw and pawed it forward "meow" I said seductively.
He grinned and kissed me again "that was great" he said. I rolled my eyes teasingly "oh yeah, alright…whatever" I said sarcastically. He put his hand on my hip "you know what happens when you tease me un" he said as a fake warning. My eyes grew wide "yeah, I know what happens" I said as my eyes lowered. He started to tickle me. I started to giggle and laugh uncontrollably. "AHH! Please Deidara! No!" I yelled. He just kept on tickling me. I wiggled around until he finally stopped. "you are SO mean" I said sarcastically as my laughter slowed. He smiled a devilish smile "I know" he replied before kissing me again. I smiled and sat up, I yawned and stretched. I stood up and put on a black robe.
I walked over to Deidara and tugged at the edge of the blanket "up" I commanded. He turned around so he wasn't facing me "no un!" he replied. I pulled on the blanket harder; he kept a strong grip on it. He hid his face under a pillow and mumbled. I took the pillow off his head and he mumbled again. "Don't make me use a jutsu to get you up" I said. He looked at me "which one?" he asked. I giggled "ice prison, it's really cold" I said. He sighed "fine, I'll get up."
He got up and got dressed, he picked me up and carried me out of the bedroom. He threw me on the couch and I started to giggle. I got up and walked over to the kitchen, Deidara handed me a glass of tea and I sat down at the table. I sat and just stirred my tea for a minute "I'm fat" I said out of nowhere. He stopped what he was doing and looked at me "you are not fat!" he exclaimed. I looked down at my tea, which I was still stirring, "yes I am" I replied. He sat down next to me and put his hand on mine "who convinced you that you're fat?" he asked.
I looked at him "myself" I answered. He sighed and scooted his chair closer to mine "what makes you think that you're fat un?" I lowered my eyes "have you noticed how much sweets I eat? I mean, I always eat chocolate and I drink tea with sugar in it…I'm fat." He sighed again and cupped my chin in his hand and lifted my head so he was staring directly into my eyes. "Kira, you aren't fat…your training keeps you thin and you always look gorgeous" he said. I smiled a little bit "you think so?" I asked. He nodded "yes, I know so un" he replied.
I smiled and hugged him "thank you honey, you make me feel so good about myself" I said. He rubbed my back "you're welcome" he replied. I took a sip of my tea "hmmm, you know exactly how to make my favorite tea" I said. Deidara smiled and put his arm around my shoulders "yep, I know exactly how you like it yeah" he said proudly. I giggled "you are so full of yourself" I teased. He poked my shoulder with two fingers making me tip over a little "oh yeah, whatever."
I slid my cup of tea to the other side of the table and I put my arms loosely around Deidara's neck. I leaned forward until I was mere centimeters away from his face. "I love you" I said softly. "Kira" he breathed my name "I love you too yeah" he said. I sat on his lap on the small kitchen chair and gave him a long, passionate kiss. I broke the kiss and laid my head on his shoulder. I traced my finger around in circles on his chest as I sighed happily. "So I take it you're happy un?" he asked. I looked up at him "why wouldn't I be?" He shrugged "well I don't know, I just love to see you happy" he replied.
I giggled "oh Deidara, you're so sweet!" I exclaimed. He smiled "you know, you bring out my good side." I grinned "that's a good thing…right?" I asked. He smiled and hugged me "it's a great thing un" he answered. I hugged him "that's good" I replied. He picked me up and set me on the couch gently. He laid down next to me and kissed me softly. I poked his nose and giggled; he gave me an odd look before laughing. He rolled over on top of me and kissed me again. "well you sure are wild today…last night wasn't enough for ya?" I asked. He answered with a fiery kiss. "guess not" I said between laughs.
Suddenly my stomach twisted, I pushed him off me and ran for the bathroom. He followed quickly behind; I stuck my forehead on the edge of the toilet seat and puked. He held my hair with one hand and rubbed my shoulder with another. I sat up and looked at him, puke on my face. He quickly grabbed a wet washcloth and wiped my face. He held me in his arms "Kitty, are you alright un?" he asked. I shook my head no and closed my eyes halfway "no, I don't feel very well."
He put the back of his hand to my forehead "no wonder, your forehead feels warm" he said. He carried me to the bedroom and laid me down in the bed. I watched as he left the room and came back with a cold, wet washcloth. He put it on my forehead and set a bucket next to me. "Kitty, if you need to puke and you cant get to the bathroom fast enough…just puke in the bucket yeah" he said. I nodded in understanding as my stomach twisted again, I ignored it completely. Deidara took of his cloak, akatsuki ring, and headband. "I'm going to go get a doctor ok?" he asked.
I nodded "get Shizune or Tsunade" I mumbled. He nodded and I gave him a weak smile. About 30 minutes later I heard the door open and Tsunade, Shizune, and Deidara walked into the room. Deidara sat in the corner, he gave me a small smile. Tsunade sat on one side of the bed and Shizune sat on the other. Shizune put her hand on my forehead "well she does feel a bit warm" she said. "Aright then, let's see what's wrong with you" Tsunade said. She put one hand on my forehead and one on my stomach. She started to mumble things to Shizune.
"well you are not coming down with any sickness" Tsunade said finally. I breathed a sigh of relief "that's good" I replied. "You should be back to normal tomorrow, you just need a bit of rest…that's all" Shizune said as she smiled at me. I shifted my eyes towards Deidara and I could tell he was relieved too. I'm happy that he cares so much about me…I smiled at him, and he gave me a small smile back. "Contact us if any problems arise ok?" Tsunade said as she and Shizune stood up. Deidara and I nodded and they left almost quickly. As soon as the door closed behind them, Deidara and I curled up next to each other and fell asleep.
"Deidara! I'm officially late!" I screamed the next morning as I watched Deidara run around the house quickly. Most of the jonin were gathering to just sit and hang out for awhile, to catch up on some things and I didn't want to be late. I wished I could bring Dei with me, but it was hidden leaf jonin only. Deidara was trying to find something for me, even though I knew I could have done it myself. He stopped in front of me and grinned at me "found it un" he said. I smiled and he handed my headband to me. I tied it around my neck loosely and I gave Deidara a quick kiss before rushing out the door.
I started to walk slowly, I was in a very uncomfortable kimono. I hate kimonos and I only wore it because it was a gift from Deidara and I promised him I would wear it at least once. I entered the large room where the jonin were supposed to meet. A few jonin were there, some hadn't arrived yet. I looked around for Kagome, but she wasn't there yet. I saw Gai and he motioned for me to sit with him. I smiled and walked over to him "Hi there Gai, what's up?" I asked while sitting down in the seat next to him. "Nothing, I was the first one here actually" he said while looking proud of himself.
"so…how's Lee?" I asked as I tried to start a conversation. "He's doing just great, his training is going exceptionally well" he replied with a grin and a thumbs up. "Very nice kimono" he said as he grinned at me some more. "oh thanks, I don't actually like it that much" I replied. He looked at me "why not?" he asked. "I'm just not very into kimonos, they're too girlish for me" I said. He tilted his head to the side slightly "then why did you wear it?" he asked. I giggled "because my husband got it for me of course." His eyes lowered "oh" he said in a very quiet, and sad voice.
Kagome walked over to us and sat down next to me. "hi peoples" she said happily as she waved at me and Gai. I grinned at her "hello there Kagome" I said. Gai smiled weakly at her "hi Kagome" he said in an almost mumbled voice. "what's wrong with you Gai?" she asked. He stood up "it's nothing" he said before walking away. I watched him walk away and I shrugged. Kagome grinned at me "so, how's Deidara?" she asked. I smiled back at her "good, very good" I replied.
She smiled "well that's just great!" she exclaimed. "Thanks for asking" I said with a smile. She nodded and I smiled some more, she could tell that I was in a good mood. Seconds turned to minutes, which turned to hours…I guess all the jonin only wanted to sit and catch up because nobody was talking about particularly important things.
I left in a slight hurry, Deidara was waiting for me. I ran all the way home and was greeted at the door by my little cat Yuki. She wasn't exactly a full grown cat yet, she was still a young cat. I scooped her up and stroked her soft fur with my fingertips. I opened up the door and I saw Deidara asleep on the couch. I giggled quietly and gently closed the door behind me. I set Yuki down on the floor and I walked over to Deidara. I sat on my knees in front of him and watched him for a few minutes.
I kissed him on the cheek and he woke up, but I knew he was half asleep. "I'm home" I whispered as I put my hand on his cheek and smiled. He gave me a small smile and he took my hand in his. "glad you're home, I love you" he said in an exhausted voice. I smiled wider "I love you too, I think we should go to bed" I said in a quiet voice. He sat up and he and I walked to the bedroom and went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up and stared at the ceiling. I sighed, what was I going to do about Gai? I knew he had a crush on me, but I didn't think it was too serious. I want him to stop going after me, but I don't want to hurt him. "Kitty" Deidara's soft voice rang out into the silence. I shifted my head towards him "hey Dei, awake already?" I asked. He nodded in response "what were you thinking about un?" he asked. "I…don't know, how did you know that I was thinking about something?" I asked. He looked at me with a smirk plastered onto his face "I've known you long enough to know when you're thinking about something" he answered.
I looked back up at the ceiling "how do you stop someone from liking you…without hurting them?" I asked. Deidara looked confused "it isn't me is it?" he asked. I giggled "no silly, I'm talking about Gai" I replied. "oh" he said quietly as he scooted closer to me. "But anyway, good morning Deidara" I said sweetly as I closed my eyes and cuddled with him. "Kitty, I have to go soon yeah" he said quietly. My eyes shot open "why?" I asked in an almost pitiful voice. "Well Tobi came while you were gone yesterday and told me to go to the akatsuki base today un" he replied.
"well that sucks" I said sadly. He hugged me "don't be sad about it, I'll be back soon after the mission…I'll have Leader send someone to keep you company if you'd like" he said in a comforting voice. I closed my eyes and smiled "hmmm oh alright, but be careful." He hugged me again "I promise I will un." He stood up and quickly got dressed, I did the same.
I walked with him to the door and hugged him "I love you Deidara, be careful" I said. He kissed my forehead "I love you too…I promise to be very careful yeah." I gave him a quick kiss and he walked out the door and flew away on one of his clay birds. I closed the door and got ready to leave, no sense in being in this house alone; even though Deidara was having leader send someone to keep me company. I quickly slipped on my shoes and took my vest off of it's hanger. I slung it over my shoulders and zipped it up.
I walked slowly around the village, a lot of people waved at me and I smiled and waved back. I walked past the front gate and heard my name being called; I recognized the voice. I walked towards the gate and stopped just at the edge of it.
"Kira…" the voice said. I sighed uncomfortably "what do you want Kabuto?" I murmured. He chuckled "oh, no warm welcome Kira?" he asked. "No Kabuto, tell me what you're doing here. "Kira, lord Orochimaru sent me…but while I'm here, why not catch up on a few things?" he asked. I growled "no chance of that ever happening Kabuto…when you left, you left me behind too." He stepped out from behind a tree "what do you mean Kira?" he asked. "First of all look at me!" I exclaimed while gesturing towards the ring on my finger "second of all when you left the village, you left me here too!"
He gasped "but…why?" he asked. "Because, Kabuto, remember how you treated me? How you wanted to always protect me, even from battles I wanted to fight?" I didn't know where this sudden confidence was coming from, but it was cool! He walked closer to me "Kira, I still love you" he said. I scoffed and looked away "you killed my only father figure and you expect me to act like it was nothing? To brush it aside like it never happened?" I asked as I stood my ground.
He closed his eyes and nodded "I know what I did was awful, but I didn't kill you did I?" he asked. I ran at him with a kunai and stabbed him in the arm "that doesn't excuse you at all! It was your fault for my misery!" I started to twist the kunai side to side and I listened to his muffled yell of agony. I pushed him into a tree and pinned him to it by using the kunai knife. He tried to get it out, but it wouldn't budge "please Kira, no!" he screamed. "it's too late for that Kabuto! It's just too late" I said as I formed the hand signs for one of my special jutsu.
I stood at his side and finished the hand signs "this is a memory from our sensei!" I yelled. "No Kira! Don't do this, I love you!" he exclaimed. "ninja art! Arctic wind tunnel jutsu!" I yelled as I formed a circle with my fingers in front of my face and blew as hard as I could. The kunai knife tore out of the tree and Kabuto was sent soaring away from the village, rotating as he went. When I finished the jutsu, I walked away and felt dominant.
I started to head towards the ramen shop, I was hungry and I was craving ramen. I sat down and politely ordered a bowl of ramen. As I sat and waited, I spun around joyfully in my chair. When the ramen arrived, I stopped acting like a moron and ate it quickly. As soon as I finished, I hurriedly paid and ran as fast as I could back home. I completely forgot that Deidara had Leader send someone to keep me company. I ran through the front door and opened up the back door.
A tall man with a black mask over his face and a white hat covering his head stood leaning against the tree. "I'm so sorry if you were waiting too long…it was so rude of me to leave" I said as I allowed him inside. He hesitantly stepped in and looked around. He extended his hand "my name's Kakuzu…" I shook his hand and smiled. I had learned from being around Deidara that not all of the akatsuki were horrid people. "I'm Kira" I said while shaking his hand. His eyes mesmerized me, they were black with green pupils. "I know" he said quickly.
I lowered my eyes "oh, so Deidara has talked about me?" He sighed and rolled his eyes "endlessly" he replied. My face turned a slight pink "oh" was all I said. "So I am sorry if you don't want to be here" I said quietly. "As long as Leader pays me, and I get away from that loudmouth Hidan…its fine with me" he replied. I sighed a little bit "I've heard horrid things about Hidan, from what I have heard I wouldn't want to be in the same room with him" I said. He chuckled a bit "I can't stand being partnered up with him."
I rose an eyebrow "is he really that bad?" I asked. He nodded "mmhmm he has a loud mouth and he has a very colorful vocabulary" he answered. I giggled "sounds awful" I replied. I sat down and motioned for him to sit with me "here, have a seat if you want to" I said. He sat down next to me "so Leader told me that Deidara wanted me to keep you company" he said. I giggled "yep, he's worried I'll get hurt or kidnapped by Orochimaru." Kakuzu looked at me and slowly took off his black mask and his hat. I gasped at the stitches on his face.
"I know, I look hideous" he said. I smiled and tried my best to be nice "no, no, no you don't look that bad I was just caught off guard from the stitches" I replied. He smirked "don't play the nice girl, I know you think I'm a freak now" he said while looking down. "Look here Kakuzu, I don't ever 'play' the nice girl" I said while crossing my arms. He rose an eyebrow "really?" he asked. I nodded my head quickly "yep" I replied.
"So then, do I not look that bad?" he asked. I noticed a very, very faint blush creep across his cheeks; I think he likes me…oh no. "No, you don't look bad…you look cool" I said as my mind searched for a word to describe his appearance. He smirked again "thanks I guess" he said quickly. "I've found that most evil people can also be sweet too" I said. He looked at me and nodded "if we want to be" he replied.
Just then, the door opened and Deidara walked in "I'm back un" he exclaimed while looking directly at me. I grinned at him and giggled "hey Dei" I said. He gave me a small smile and turned to Kakuzu "alright then, thanks for keeping Kira company…Leader will pay you as soon as you get to the base" he said while pointing out the back door. I sort of felt bad that I didn't get to learn more about Kakuzu, but I guess he'll come next time then.
Kakuzu nodded and put his mask and hood back on "well then, goodbye Kira…may we meet again in the future." I nodded towards him and he swiftly left through the back door. Deidara sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulders "So Kitty, what'd you talk about un?" he asked. "nothing really, nothing worth remembering that's for sure" I replied with a smile. He gave me a hug "I missed you Kitty" he said before giving me a short, but sweet kiss on the lips. I leaned on his shoulder "I missed you too" I said while poking out my bottom lip and giving him a pitiful stare.
He covered his eyes "ah! Don't do that" he said. I giggled "oh? Why? Does it make you feel bad?" I asked while giving him the same pitiful stare. "Yes! Yes it does! Now stop it!" he exclaimed as he still covered his eyes. I giggled some more "okay" I said in a childish voice. He sighed and uncovered his eyes "I hate it when you do that." I grinned and hugged him "I know" I said happily. He held me securely in his arms and stared at me sweetly. "So, what did you do in my absence?" he asked. I lowered my eyes "oh, nothing…I ran into Kabuto on a walk near the village gate…" my voice trailed off. His eyes grew wide "What? Kabuto? What did he want un?" he asked. "me" I said simply.
