Sorry that this took forever. I have been in school and also I was finishing my other story Blinded Dreams. So this is the story I will be working on till it is finished(:

this one is a bit short. Sorry about that.

but please enjoy(:

"Sakura?" Deidara asked as he and I both sat upon his giant clay bird "Ready to take off again, yeah?"

"Ugh, we have a few more hours of travel huh?" I asked rubbing the back of my neck "I can't wait to go lay in a bed."

"Well at least we are almost there."

"Well then let's get going." I gave a sigh as he lifted his bird into the air heading to the small town.

Within a few hours we landed out side of the town. Walking silently, our heads covered by hoods. We ditched the Akatsuki cloaks and replaced them with black hooded ones.

"Everyone is staring, yeah." Deidara mumbled to me as we walked through the town heading to the hotel

"This town doesn't get travelers." I gave a small laugh "And it doesn't help that we are so secretive."

"Well if this wasn't in the damn fire nation we wouldn't have to be secretive." He gave a sigh "I just want a nap."

"The hotel is right here." I said as we entered and walked up to the counter "A room please."

"Here." He gave a giant smile "We don't get to many travelers. Nice to see new faces!"

I gave a simple nod as we both headed to our rooms. I opened the door and automatically headed for the bed. Deidara in tow after he set a few traps.

"Good thing the sun is going to set soon." I gave a yawn

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh..." He mumbled from his pillow.

I giggled "See you in the morning."

"Don't snore, yeah."

"You don't take up the whole bed."

"I take up the whole bed, yeah?" He looked at me

"Yeah you do." I rolled my eyes "And I do not snore. Not as loud as you at least."

"I do not." He growled.

"Uh huh." I closed my eyes "Night."

He grumbled under his breath as he turned on his side "Night, yeah."

And like that, we were out.

It felt nice to walk up in a nice bed instead of the hard ground. Traveling, not my favorite thing to do.

"Wake up Deidara." I yawned

"What for, yeah?" He grumbled

"Go do... I dunno, Akatsuki stuff or something." I rubbed my eyes.

"First thing.." He started "Sleep in."

"You're so lame." I got out of bed and walked to the kitchen "Well I'm going to head into the market since we have no food."

"Remember where we are, yeah." He sat up

"Yes Father.." I mumbled as I grabbed my cloak after getting ready "Be back in a bit."

I walked to the simple market they had, which I was a little shocked they even had a market. This is a pretty small town, if that.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" A man asked as I was looking over the fruit

"I need to buy some oranges, apples, and..." I paused "That's it."

"How many?"

"Just whatever will last for a couple days." I said as he started to put them in a bag. While he was, I slipped some into my pocket. It's great being a ninja sometimes.

"Here you go miss." He handed me the bag as I paid

I gave a nod as I walked off further into the market.

Back to the hotel a few hours later;

"Where the fuck were you?" Deidara asked when I walked it

I held up bags as he shook his head "Don't worry I didn't buy it all."

He gave a sigh "You were gone for a few hours, yeah."

"Never allow a girl to shop by herself." I simply stated

The next day;

"Hey Leader is calling." I said as I sat on the bed

"Great..." Deidara mumbled as he sat next to me.

We both did the proper hand signs and entered the cave through the hologram.

"Nice of you to join us." Leader said as Itachi and Kisame joined as well

"Pein-sama." I greeted almost silently.

"So Deidara and Sakura, you are to hand over your current mission to Itachi and Kisame." Leader said

"Do you have another mission for us, yeah?" Deidara asked

"I do in fact." He said "Return to the base and I will tell you about it."

"Hai." I stated in response because Deidara doesn't react nice.

"Be careful on your way here, there are many ninja hunting us down in our territory." Leader spoke finally "Dismissed."

We exited the meeting as I looked at Deidara with a raised brow. I swear, this man has mood swings.

"Let's leave then, yeah." He said as he started packing

"What do you think about the hunters?" I asked

"Stay by my side the whole time, yeah." He said walking infront of me. He grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eye "Don't be a hero. When I say run, you run."

"What are you talking about?" I asked

"Just listen.." He whispered resting his chin on top of my head

I gave a slow sigh as we stood there, silently enjoying each others company.

so did you like it? I hope so.

sorry this was a short one. Others will be longer.

please review!
