It was a perfect day. The sun was in the sky, shining brightly as it were a giant lightbulb. There were only a few clouds lazily floating the sky.

Nothing could ruin this day, it was so peac-

"KATSU!" Never mind...

"Keep it down brat!" Deidara smirked as he was pulled down by Sasori, who couldn't be bothered to fight right now. The two were sent out on a mission and were just returning.

It was a successful mission, which was to simply retrieve a scroll from Iwagakure. Being his old hometown, Deidara had fun blowing up every building that came into his sight. Sasori let the blonde bomber do this. Half of him wanted Deidara to stop and concentrate of the mission they were given, whilst the other half knew this would tire the blonde out.

In the end, Sasori had to retrieve the scroll quickly before the leader of the village found out that Deidara was blowing it up. The Akatsuki shouldn't be expecting Iwagakure to call for help anytime soon...

"Do you want to get caught?" Deidara shook his head. Sasori nodded in satisfaction, it may of taken many years but he finally, well what he calls 'tamed', the bomber. When Deidara had first joined the Akatsuki, he was slightly wild. Well Sasori called it being 'wild', mainly because Deidara had tried to escape everyday.

"Your being noisy though Danna, un." Sasori rolled his eyes, though Deidara did not see since Sasori was inside Hiruko. Hiruko had a few scratches from where Sasori had been to close to an explosion, though in his defence, Deidara hadn't given him any warning that he was going to blow something up.

"Just be quiet brat..." Sasori was quickly loosing patience so doing the wise option, Deidara kept his mouth shut for the rest of the journey back to the Akatsuki base.

When they did arrive back, Deidara held his ring up to the marked piece of paper which was on a boulder. The boulder quickly started to rumble and then roll to the side, allowing the two to step inside the Akatsuki base.

The base... well let's just say it wasn't a place you would call home. It was basically a huge cave, with a leaky roof from the continuous storms. The floor wasn't much better, though it was more dry.

The worst part (according to mostly every member) there were no beds. Infact, there was no furniture in their base. Raised rocks were used as seats and the floor was your bed. Comfy right?

"Leader-sama..." Sasori walked into the cave, the boulder rolling back into it's place when he walked in. "We have the scroll..."

Pein, who was in the cave (which was really rare), turned to Sasori. He stood up from the rock he was sat on and headed to Sasori.

They both headed to a dark corner of the cave. In order for Sasori to give the scroll to Pein, would mean he had to get out of Hiruko. Sasori had this thing of not letting people see his true form, so he tended to stay inside Hiruko.

"Danna was being so boring again..." Deidara said, sitting down beside the zombie duo, or more known as Kakuzu and Hidan.

Kakuzu rolled his eyes whilst Hidan grinned at the blonde, his purple eyes glowing brightly despite him sitting inside a dark room. "Well you would expect that from Sasori!" Hidan commented, laughing slightly.

Deidara sighed at him. He pulled out a water bottle from his bag. His mouth felt dry, so he easily downed the water in a matter of moments. He frowned at the empty bottle.

"I hate it when that happens, un..."

XXX

Pein held the scroll, walking down a secret hallway that only him and Konan knew about. The hallway led to a room deeper into the cave. He opened the door to find Konan going through the scrolls.

"Did you find the scroll I need?" Pein asked, placing the blue scroll he held in his hand onto the table. Konan shook her head, joining her parterner.

"I don't know if we even have it..." Pein narrowed his eyes, looking at the big pile of scrolls that sat on the floor.

"We should have it, I swear I saw it a few days ago. It was red with a golden edging, with golden swirls on it. I'll have a look for it." Konan nodded, taking hold of the blue scroll whist Pein looked through the scrolls.

He found it, though he couldn't blame Konan for not being able to find it. It was at the bottom of the pile of scrolls. Pein held onto it, then gave it to Konan.

"Keep these safe Konan, we will need them for tomorow's mission." Konan nodded, though she did not smile, she rarely smiled. Pein left the room, leaving Konan to put the two important scrolls in her cloak pockets, which was inside her cloak.

They sunk into her pocket, with plently of room to spare. Konan also left the room, locking the door with her ring before leaving the room.

She went into the 'main room' where all the other members were. Sasori was now back inside Hiruko and was standing in the corner, along with Pein who was talking to him.

Deidara, Hidan and Kakuzu were sitting beside the wall, talking about some random rubbish, which Konan decided she wasn't bothered about.

Then Itachi and Kisame were at the entrance of the cave, sitting on rocks and discussing something.

Zetsu was out, doing his usual spying. Konan decided to leave the room again to sit inside the scrolls room, sitting on the desk that stood in there.

Her hand reached for some paper on the desk. She picked it up and without a second thought, started to make a new paper flower. It was a hobby I suppose...

"So Pein..." Konan and Pein walked through the forest. It was midnight and it was deathly cold, but the two somehow seemed not to be effected by the tempreture.

The blue haired woman stayed by her leader's side, her loyal side always showing. She would do _anything_ for Pein, this included murder.

"Are you sure we're all ready for this?" Pein looked forwards, his face in it's usual expression, which meant there was _no_ expression.

"I believe we are Konan. The Akatsuki members which we have now have been working together for a while now, they have made close bonds. We need the nine tails. I know that we can capture the boy named Uzumaki Naruto." Pein continued forwards, his eyes watching the area infront of him.

Konan looked at Pein. "Yes leader-sama..." Konan knew that Pein didn't show emotions, and neither did she. She was almost as emotionless as Pein, but she also had a kind side.

"So that's why tomorow we go to Konoha to capture Uzumaki. I've cancelled all missions for the next few days so we can all do this mission. I won't let us fail." Pein stopped, so Konan copied. The orange haired man looked up. It was slightly raining, and the cool water slid onto his face.

He liked stars, he liked rain. Combine the two together and you got a happy Pein, though you won't see him smile. Konan watched Pein, bowing her head low.

"We'll just head to Konoha now and check on the guards and plan our mission..." Pein said, carrying on with his journey with Konan.

"Of course Pein..."

XXX

Once they arrived they stopped just near the village, they sealed of their chakra. "So what do you want me to do?" Konan asked.

"Head to the eastern part of the village and look around down there, I'll take west." Pein said. Konan nodded and quickly went to the eastern part of the village. She inspected the area, finding it with only a few guards. So far so good.

She quickly flew into the village, paper floating around as she did. No guards noticed, she was quick. The paper formed back into her normal body as she landed.

Konan looked around, she landed ontop of a building. The entire leaf village looked abandoned.

"Hey Naruto!" Konan tensed up as she heard a girlie voice come close below her.

_"I need to hide!"_ Konan thought. Once again paper scattered everywhere, though rised up above the buildings. She landed in the shadows of yet another taller building, though didn't completely go back to normal, with paper still flying around her.

"Oh hey Sakura!" Konan looked down to see two leaf village ninja's. One wore a bright orange jacket with matching trousers. The outfit would of been blinding, though some parts of it were a black. He wore the headband with pride. The shoe's that Naruto wore were the blue usual sandals.

_"That must be Uzumaki Naruto..."_ Konan thought, then turned her attention to the other person. Her hair was pink shoulder length. She wore a red top, which had no sleeves on. Around her waist was a pink piece of material which had pockets on. She also had black shorts, with a bandage around her left foot. Her shoes went up to her knees. They were black boots, though you could see her toes.

_"And from what Naruto said, this girl should be Sakura... Sakura Haruno..."_ Konan remembered coming across Sakura when she was getting information about Naruto. Why were they both out here in the middle of the night?

"Naruto? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked, blinking a few times.

"Well I just got back from a mission... Luckily though I'll be here tomorow for a day's rest. Why are you out here Sakura?" Sakura smiled.

"The same thing, well kind of. I've just finished doing some medical training with Lady Tsunade." Naruto grinned, scratching the back of her head.

"Oh Granny Tsunade." With that comment, Naruto got a well earned punch from Sakura, who somehow got a load of energy.

"DON'T BE SO DISRESPECTFUL!" She yelled. Naruto quickly apologized, then they both headed of to their apartments.

"How interesting, I need to tell this to Pein..." Konan said, quickly flying back outside the village undetected. She was the first one their, but only for a few moments.

Pein quickly landed next to her. "So what did you get Konan?"

"I saw Uzumaki Naruto, he was with his friend Haruno Sakura." Pein nodded.

"Anything else?"

"Yes Pein, Naruto said he would be in the village tomorow, and since he was busy on a mission today, it will be most likely he will be resting tomorow."

"Good work." Pein said. "I didn't get much, just a list of Genin, Jonin and Chunin who should be present tomorow."

"Yes I do believe Naruto does have close bonds towards certain ninja in this village, we need to be careful who is present tomorow." Konan explained.

XXX

Looking through the list, Konan read the names carefully.

"So tomorow several other ninja should be in the village. Ninja who may have bonds with Naruto though are... Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino, Might Gai, Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Neji, Hatake Kakashi, Umino Iruka, Inuzuka Kiba and Akimichi Choji. There are several more ninja's that Naruto are close with so the Akatsuki need to be careful..." Konan wrote this down on a piece of paper, quickly stuffing it into her pocket for safe keepings.

"Konan?" The woman turned around to see Pein walk into the room.

"Yes Pein?" Pein looked at her with a blank expression, but Konan was the only one who saw that expression was a happy one.

"Good luck for tomorow..."

**Yeah chapter 2 complete!**

**Reviews will be nice...**


	3. Chapter 3

**So now we know the ninja present, it's time to find out which Akatsuki member takes on which ninja ^^**

**Thanks to Kakashi Attacke, Asheza and BunnyMooMooMonster for reviewing ^^**

**XDDD I don't own Naruto**

XXX

"Kakuzu, Hidan!" The two looked over at Pein. "You two will try to target Hatake Kakashi."

"Kakashi..." Hidan said. He pulled out his three-bladed scythe. "YEAH TIME FOR SOME SACRIFICES!"

Kakuzu face palmed. "I'll make sure he doesn't go over board on the killing..."

"Good. Hatake Kakashi is a strong person, so be careful there. He may be with Uzumaki Naruto, since they are close. If he _is_ with Uzumaki, leave him for me okay?" Pein said. The two nodded, and Pein turned then to Konan.

"Your going to fight Haruno Sakura, Konan. Sakura is a medical ninja. Her punches can be strong and can destroy things even like boulders, I reccomend you try not to get hit." Konan nodded, though she already knew all this. She didn't want to tell Pein this though, she was loyal after all.

"Kisame and Itachi, your going to try and take out Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji." Itachi nodded, whilst Kisame placed his Samehada over his shoulder, a sharky grin was on his face.

"Sure thing leader-sama, we can handle many more if you want!"

"NO FUCKING WAY! I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO SACRIFICE!" Hidan shouted, getting a hit on the head by Kakuzu in reply. Pein coughed, wanting everyone to shut up.

"AHEM, okay since we have a lot of people I've split Sasori and Deidara up, if that's alright with you two?" Deidara nodded eargerly, whilst Sasori replyed with a "sure".

"Okay then, Deidara will be taking on Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata. There may be a chance that Might Gai will be there. The two both possess the Byakugan, they specilize in close combat." Deidara nodded.

"I'll just blow them up, un!" Sasori rolled his eyes.

"Sasori, mentioning Might Gai, that's the person I want you to take out. Also Umino Iruka if you spot him." Sasori nodded, well Hiruko did.

"Zetsu?" Zetsu emerged from the ground.

"Yes leader-sama? **What the hell do you want?"** Pein rolled his eyes.

"I want you to take out Inuzuka Kiba, he does have a dog called Akamaru by the way. You could always snack on the pup if you want..." Zetsu nodded after he heard the word 'snack'.

"You can count on me leader-sama! **Lets get us some meat!"**

XXX

It was early morning and each Akatsuki member were ready for the attack. "I'm going to blow everyone up, un!"

"You've said that like twenty time already brat." Sasori swung his tail at Deidara, who jumped away laughing in responce. "Just shut up or I'll shut you up myself."

"Jeez, sorry Danna, un." Deidara said, walking away from him. He had to fight Hyuga's right? They both had the Byakugan, something that Deidara always wanted to fight aganist. Mainly because it would proberbly be an easy win, well that's what the blonde bomber thinks anyway.

Sasori sighed. Pein said there might be a slight chance that Might Gai would be with Neji, which meant that Sasori would have to work with the brat. Great, just when he thought he would be getting a break...

"LETS GO AND SACRIFICE SOME BITCHES!" Hidan yelled, a little to loudly for everyone's liking.

"SHHH!" Hidan rolled his eyes.

"Well _sorry_" he said, his voice holding a slight hint of sarcasim in it. They all soon arrived at Konoha.

"Can I shout now?" Hidan asked. He pulled his scythe down, starting to swing it around madly.

"DO YOU MI-" Deidara jumped back as the scythe accidently flew his way. The tip of the top blade caught his cheek, drawing blood, though he was to angry to realise. Hidan also did not realise.

"Oops..." Hidan grinned. Kakuzu grabbed his parterner by the ear, dragging him into the Leaf Village.

"Okay, we'll all spilt up now okay?" Pein said. Everyone nodded as they understood, and jumped into the village.

XXX

The first person to find their target was Konan. She spotted Sakura sitting on a swing with another girl. The other girl had blue hair, her eyes showed that she had the Byakugan. This must of been Hinata.

_"I'll just have to take her on now..." _Konan thought. She got a few scraps of paper and infused them with chakra. They quickly hardened and the edges of them sharpened perfectly. Instant paper shuriken, which made just as much damage as a metal shuriken. She silently threw them, aiming for the two unaware girls. The two hardened pieces of paper landed right infront of the two.

Sakura immeadiently stood up, while Hinata looked around with a scared look on her face. This was going to be so easy...

The area where Konan once stood, was suddenly swarmed with paper butterflys. They flew over to the park where Sakura and Hinata were at. The two girls started to spot the butterflys, but then watched as they started to form back into Konan.

"T-the Aka-Akatsuki!" Hinata gasped, looking at the cloak that had just formed. The paper still continued to flutter around Konan. The blue haired female looked at the two trembling ninja's infront of her.

"My orders were to take you out, Haruno Sakura." She looked over at Hinata. "And if you get in the way I will not hesitate to kill you." Hinata looked at Konan startled, but Sakura placed an arm in a protective way infront of Hinata.

"Don't worry Hinata." Sakura said, looking at Konan with a determined look. "I'll protect you..." Hinata nodded, backing away slightly from the two other ninja. Konan kept an eye on her, she didn't want Hinata to run away just yet.

"I don't know why your here..." Sakura said, her emerald eyes glaring at Konan who looked back, her face looked blank. "But if you lay even a _finger_ on _any_ of my friends, I will kill you!" She charged towards Konan, holding her fist out to swing a punch at her.

Konan quickly dodged it, but while she did, paper wings started to form on her back. Sakura looked at them in awe for a split second but looked back at her appoment.

The pink haired girl looked at the 'Angel' with her eyes full of hatred, so much hatred even Itachi would of been proud.

"Be careful Sakura..." Hinata whispered, watching as Sakura tried to hit Konan again, which the Angel dodged quickly.

_"Her punches look strong and I'm sure she's concentrating chakra into her right hand. They are accurate but she can't change her aim once her punches come close. I need to take my move soon..._" Konan thought. She got to pieces of paper to turn into more shuriken and launched them at Sakura, who dodged with a backflip.

Konan made more paper shuriken and started to aim them at Sakura. Non of them started to hit and Sakura was happy by that. It was just then she realised that Konan was trying to tire her out.

"Nice try!" Sakura yelled. "But I'm not falling for that trick!" Konan didn't say anything but continued to launch more shuriken. Sakura continued to dodge until the last shuriken was thrown. During the dodging, there was now a big gap between Konan and Sakura.

Clentching her fists, Sakura concentrated her chakra to her right fist, before running back up to Konan, dodging the odd one or two shuriken being launched at her. Her fist connected to Konan's arm and just for a second Sakura thought she landed a hit. That changed when she felt the arm suddenly turn into a heap of paper, which swirled around before going back into an arm.

_"How am I supposed to beat her?"_ Sakura thought. _"What could her weakness be?"_ Konan looked down at the pink haired Chunin.

_"I'm not even putting any effort in this..." _Konan thought. _"I need to follow his orders quickly though, and maybe if I hurry I can go and helpt Pein."_

Sakura looked at Konan, who was looking at Sakura. Konan moved her hand forwards, resulting in three pieces of paper zooming towards Sakura. Sakura looked at the paper, it wasn't just any type of paper, they were paper bombs.

"Sakura look out!" Sakura turned around to see Naruto run towards her. He quickly scooped her up and jumped out of the way, just barely dodging the bombs.

_"Uzumaki Naruto!"_ Konan looked down at the blonde. Naruto looked up at her, his eyes full of rage.

"You tried to hurt Sakura! Wait..." he looked at her cloak. "Your apart of the Akatsuki!" Naruto placed Sakura down. She stood behind Naruto, she would now surport him.

Naruto quickly made a hundred shadow clone jutsu's, with each one looking up at their target, the paper angel, Konan.

They all leapt up at her, and in responce each one that got to close, was struck with a paper shuriken. The park was full of crys of pain which were made when a shadow clone was hit.

"Naruto-kun..." Hinata watched from behind a tree in the park. Her face went slightly red, but she quickly calmed herself down.

"Sakura, how do we defeat her?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at him, with slight annoyance on her face, but mostly her expression was reliefed.

"I don't know, she's made out of this paper!"

	4. Chapter 4

**Dun dun dun! Lol, welcome my kiddies, and we shall carry on with thy fanfic!**

XXX

Konan looked at the two. "My orders were to take out Haruno Sakura. Uzumaki, Pein is waiting for you, I reccomend you leave, I don't like to disobey orders..."

"Well your just going to have to disobey!" Naruto leapt high into the air with two of his shadow clones. "RASENGAN!"

Konan just about dodged it, flying higher. She glared at Naruto. "I don't like to disobey orders Uzumaki, but then I don't hesitate to kill." She created a paper spear, with the end pointed. Konan raised it up and flew down, the spear being aimed between Naruto and Sakura.

Neither one of them knew where the spear was going. In the end, the spear didn't hit neither of the two. It was just then when Naruto finally realised who Konan was aiming for...

"HINATA!" Hinata looked from behind the tree, to see a spear being thrown. Her eyes widened and she felt it being pierced into her stomach. "HINATA!"

The spear went out of the bleeding wound and turned back into seperate sheets. Konan looked down at Hinata. Her orange eyes didn't show the slightest bit of sympathy.

Sakura quickly ran over to Hinata and started to heal here. Naruto turned to Sakura.

"I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!" Naruto yelled. "RASENG-"

"Uzumaki Naruto..." Naruto stopped and turned around to see Pein himself...

XXX

"Come one Team Gai! We can do one more lap around the village!" Neji and Tenten looked at Gai in disbelief whilst Rock Lee looked up at his Sensei with enthusiasum.

"Or _two_ laps!"

Sasori sat in the bushes, was Pein being _serious_?! He was up aganist _him_? And from what it

"Hey Danna, un!" Sasori turned to see Deidara crouching down near, also looking through the bushes. "It seems that our targets are together!"

"Go away brat..." Sasori muttered. "I've got this sorted out, you just go and-"

"Hey there's someone in the bushes!" Sasori walked out of the bushes, he was out of Hiruko. Deidara jumped out of the bushes.

"Atleast put a little enthusiasum in meeting your enemys, un!" Deidara complained.

"YES LET THE POWER OF YOUTH TAKE OVER!" Gai encourged, ignoring the fact there was two Akatsuki members ready to attack.

"Uh Gai Sensei..." Tenten started. "You do realise they can attack at anytime?" Gai stopped doing his 'youthful routine' and turned to the two Akatsuki members.

"Hmm yes..." Gai looked at the two members, he wasn't really sure what the two both specilized in. "Lee! You take on the blonde girl! Tenten, you go for the red head! Neji, your with me to get some backup!" Both Sasori and Deidara were highly offended by the names they were given.

"I'M A MALE, UN! I'LL TAKE YOU OUT IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL!" Deidara yelled, then getting a confused look from the four other ninjas.

"She's a _he_?" Tenten said. "Your hair is even longer than mine!" Deidara rolled his eyes, though concentrated when a blur of green was charging towards him.

_"This must be Lee... but I need to fight Neji..." _Deidara thought. He jumped onto a clay bird, just flying above the tree tops. He watched as Gai and Neji retreated into the village, oh no they don't! Deidara put his hands into the pouches which were around his waist, his mouth hands quickly chewing pieces of clay.

Now which one should he use? Ah yes! C1 should be perfect! He pulled his hands from the pouches and started to quickly create some tiny bombs. There were soon three spider like bombs sitting in the palms of his hands. Looking down, he saw the Byakugan user running to the west with his Sensei, so Deidara threw them in that direction. They landed just infront of the two.

"What are _they_?" Neji asked, looking at them.

"There my art, un!" Deidara yelled. "My art, something that is fleeting and lasts a few moments before disappearing! My art, an explosion!" The blonde did his hand signs, before narrowing his eyes. "I could stop the explosion... if the Byakugan user stays here!"

Neji looked at Gai, who simply nodded. "Okay, I'll give you a fight then!" Gai jumped of whilst Neji headed back to the area he was in before. Deidara followed, but stayed up in the sky.

Meanwhile that was going on, Tenten and Sasori looked at each other. In seconds, two giant shuriken flew towards Sasori, who dodged to the side. He pulled out his scroll which containted Hiruko and summoned the puppet. It appeared and a puff of smoke and in seconds, Sasori was inside and ready to battle.

Tenten looked at the puppet, but was not fazed. She sent kunai at Sasori instead, but with one flick of his tail, the kunais had scattered around the puppet.

_"His protection is good, he can get rid of kunai and shuriken..." _Tenten thought. _"How should I take him out?"_

"Tenten!" Lee came running upbeside his team mate. "Neji told me to fight with you." Tenten nodded, turning back to Sasori. He stood there, his eyes silently watching the enemy as they looked at him

_"Stupid fools, I can take them out in seconds!" _Sasori thought. He raised his tail up, it gleamed with purple liquid. _"Besides, these aren't even my oppoments..."_

Sasori's tail quickly lunged at the two ninjas. Tenten jumped to the left whilst Lee to the right. _"So which one should I take out first? Oh, like that matters..."_ Sasori's tail quickly moved to the left, heading straight towards Tenten.

It quickly caught her arm, the poison going into her arm. "Tenten!" Lee quickly headed to his team mate. Sasori just watched, though he had already aimed his tail again.

"KATSU!" Neji dodged yet another explosive.

_"How is he doing this so fast! I need to find his weak spot..."_ Neji thought, looking up at Deidara. The blonde bomber placed his hands back inside the pouch, which had lost half of it's clay now. The mouths quickly devoured some more and Deidara thought.

_"It seems that I'm going to run low on clay, I'll have to finish this of quickly..."_

XXX

"Is that Kakashi?" Hidan asked, looking at the silver haired ninja who was nearby. Kakashi watched the two Akatsuki members, who were causing trouble to the leaf village. Kakashi had been sent to sort them out along with some other ninja's.

Kakuzu facepalmed, yes of course it was Kakashi! "I DON'T REALLY CARE IF HE IS ANYWAY! HE'S GOING TO BE MY SACRIFICE!"

Hidan pulled out his scythe, with a mad grin growing on his face. He just needed a drop of blood on one of the blades and Hidan could have good fun torturing the man...

"THIS IS FOR YOU JASHIN!" Hidan yelled, swinging his scythe towards Kakashi. He barely dodged it, but felt the sharp blade cut a few of his hairs on his head. Hidan pulled the scythe back and looked at it. It didn't feel like he had hit Kakashi, but there was blood on the tip of the top blade. Hidan used it anyway.

He licked the blood. Funny, it tasted cold. It didn't matter. Hidan chuckled as his body started to turn black. The immortal drew the symbol on the ground, jumping inside of it.

Kakashi watched, slightly confused, what was the Akatsuki member doing? Hidan decided to make the death quick, he had looked over towards Kakuzu who was watching impatiently. Hidan pushed the blade into his arm...

XXX

_"OW! WHAT THE HECK?!" _Deidara looked over to his arm, it was starting to bleed heavily as a mysterious wound just appeared from nowhere. How did he get this huge cut? It looked like he had been stabbed with a blade or something...

Hidan looked at Kakashi, slightly confused that he wasn't bleeding, strange... Was his ceremony not going according to plan? He lifted the blade up again, this time pushing it into his foot...

The blonde suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left foot. Looking down he was standing in a pool of blood, his own blood. How? What was going on? Deidara managed to keep his balance though didn't try to attack for a few moments.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Hidan shouted. "WHY ISN'T HE DYING?!" Kakashi stood infront of Hidan with a hightly confused expression plastered onto his face, what was this immortal doing?

"It must be someone else's blood, just kill the person of whilst I take out Kakashi..." Kakuzu said, looking over at Kakashi, who looked back.

"Sure, whatever..." Hidan said, plunging the blade into his chest...

Deidara coughed up blood as he felt a sharp pain this time in his chest, it was as if he were being stabbed there... The bird he was on started to wobble slightly, so he lowered down to the ground, jumping of it.

The second he landed, he collapsed onto the ground, though he tried to stand up.

_"It hurts to much!"_ Deidara thought. The last thing he saw before blacking out was the approaching footsteps...

XXX

Hidan stepped out of the circle and looked over at Kakuzu and Kakashi, who were fighting. Both people didn't look like they were going to give up anytime soon. Well all Kakuzu had to do was to distract Kakashi for long enough until Pein defeated Naruto.

The immortal decided to go and sacrifice some more people and maybe take out some important people if he came across them.

He soon came across a man in green sprinting across the village, but then noticed Kisame following him. Hidan decided to let Kisame take him out and went to find someone else...


	5. Chapter 5

**SORRY! This chapter was so rushed, and it fails. Please no flames, though any will be used to roast marshmellows.**

**I don't own Naruto**

When Itachi and Kisame arrived, they found that their targets were not present in the village, so they went of to find some other people instead. Kisame came across a man in green, he was running quickly across the village.

"I'll get him." Kisame said to Itachi and with that, the blue man chased after the man in green, or being more presist, Gai. Gai soon noticed Kisame chasing him and stopped.

Kisame stopped to, looking at Gai. His sharky grin soon came when he pulled out his Samehada, looking over at Gai.

_"This man looks pathetic, this battle should be other in seconds!"_ And true it was. It only took a few jutu's from Kisame before Gai was trapped with five hungry sharks... _"The sharks seem very hungry today..."_ Kisame thought. The green man though, managed to dodge each shark's attack and soon came to the surface, gasping for air.

It was the first time ever that Gai was actually _tired. _Kisame looked at him, with a cruel look on his face...

Sasori looked at the two ninjas. They weren't really worth his time, one was practically dead, that poison will soon get into her blood.

"Lee! Tenten!" Neji was running back through the trees. Sasori raised an eyebrow? Where was the brat at? No...did that Byakugan person _beat_ Deidara?

Sasori simply looked at Neji, who just completely ignored him. Well... that just hurt Sasori's feelings... He swung his tail, but Neji jumped out of the way and carried on to Tenten and Lee.

Neji knelt down beside Lee and Tenten. "Are you alright Tenten?" The brown hair girl looked up and struggled a nod. Neji scooped her up, standing up along with Lee. "We have to head out..."

He looked over at Sasori, who stared blankly back, showing no expression on his face. Neji narrowed his eyes slightly, showing Sasori that he wasn't that scared of him, and he and Lee ran of.

The redhead simply watched, there was no point in chasing after them. Also there was no point in trying to save the girl, she will be dead soon! Well the poison should offically kill Tenten in three days, unless she gets good medical treatment.

Sasori then turned his attention to another topic. _"Why isn't Neji dead? And why have I not heard any explosions for a while? Damn it brat, if you've got your self killed I swear I will somehow bring you back to life and kill you again!"_ The puppet headed towards the area where Deidara was last out, cursing under his breath.

XXX

Unfortunately for Sasori, someone else reached Deidara first. The ninja, who was from the hidden leaf, looked down at the unconcious blonde. She had orders from Neji to take him to a planned area.

The teen looked down at the blonde. He looked somewhat familuar. His long blonde hair was hanging loosely from the bobble which had slipped down slightly from the landing. There was blood staining his arm, foot and chest and some also on his face. The cloak he wore was fine, apart from the few splatters of blood that stained it.

_"Seems that he had a bad fall..." _The ninja thought. She had long dark pink hair, which fell all the way down to her waist. She had no fringe. Her headband was worn around her neck. Her eyes were the colour of emeralds. She wore a green top, which had no sleeves on at all. Half way through the top it started to spilt, just a little under her chest. It made a triange in her shirt and it exposed her thin stomach. Her trousers were a dark red, which went down to her ankles. For shoes she wore the usual blue sandals.

The pink haired girl managed to pick Deidara up piggy back style. His hair fell over his face in the process, it was as if his hair were a silky curtain. His chin rested onto her shouder, though some of his cheek also rested there to.

The girl couldn't help but think this Akatsuki member looked slightly 'adorable' as he slept, unaware of the situation he was in right now. She found that he wasn't that heavy and didn't really struggle carrying him to her destination.

When Sasori finally arrived, he only found a pool of warm blood, the blood's being Deidara. _"What were they doing? I didn't see any blood on the other boy... this doesn't make any sense!"_ The puppet looked at the blood slightly confused until he heard someone creeping up from behind him. In a blink of an eye, his tail was wrapped around the person.

"Jeez Sasori! Don't need to be so violent!" Sasori recognized that voice. It was...

"Hidan..." Sasori said, his voice deep because he was inside Hiruko. "Have you seen Deidara?" Sasori let the grip go and Hidan landed on the ground, though on his feet.

"Blondie eh? Not that I know of... Last I saw him was when we were heading into this village. Which reminds me, where is everyone?! There's a fucking attack on the village by an evil group, so you would of expected more people here, I'm right on that aren't I Saso!" Sasori took a deep breath before breathing out again, trust Hidan to go on about random shit no one wanted to know,

"Yes I do agree that it's strange that not alot of people are here but it's not my fault so stop shouting at me about it, okay?" Sasori sighed before carrying on his search of finding his missing parterner. He swore once he found Deidara, he would yell at him until he became deaf. Stupid parterner for actually making him worried...

Naruto looked over at Pein, his eyes full of rage. The blonde stared at him, wishing that the leader of the Akatsuki were dead.

"Uzumaki, I will kill you." Pein simply said. Naruto glared at him, clentching his fists. He looked over at Sakura and Hinata. Sakura was now healing Hinata and there was a gentle green glow from where they were.

"Not if I kill you first!" Naruto declared, aiming a punch and Pein. Pein dodged it, before looking at Naruto blankly. Each punch that Naruto made, Pein dodged it with speed. Konan watched from at the enterance of the park, the paper wings still on her back and she floated. Then something caught her eye. A pink haired girl was carrying... Deidara?

"Pein..." Konan said. Pein stopped and turned to her, though he kept an eye on Naruto with the corner of his eye.

"What is it Konan?" Konan looked over at the girl, who didn't notice the fight in the park.

"It seems that a leaf ninja is taking Deidara somewhere..." Pein looked over where Konan was looking at, turning his full attention that way.

Naruto was prepared to strike Pein with a rasengan, until Sakura shouted him over. He ran over to help his two friends.

Pein quickly jumped over the park fence and Konan followed. It was pretty obvious that they were going to try and rescue Deidara.

They turned the corner to see that the pink haired girl was gone, how could of gone? Pein turned to Konan. "Go find everyone, cancel the mission, we're heading back to the base." Konan nodded at his decision, but shouldn't they try and rescue the blonde first before going? No, she wasn't going to disobey Pein.

She nodded and flew of, whilst Pein left the village...

Tsunade looked over the girl's wound. Neji had brought Tenten to the hospital as quick as possible and now the Hokage of the village was looking over Tenten's wound.

"It shouldn't be a problem to heal..." Tsunade muttered. "Shizune! Come in here!" In only a few seconds, Tsunade's assisant Shizune was already in the room.

"Yes Tsunade?" Tsunade nodded at Tenten and Shizune quickly understood. "Right away..."

Tsunade, Neji and Lee left the room, and stood in the hallway.

"So you say the Akatsuki attacked? How did I not notice?" Tsunade muttered, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Don't worry lady Tsunade, one of the members should be with us very shortly..." Neji explained.

"What do you-" But before she even finished her sentence, the girl from before walked into the hallway, the still unconcious Akatsuki member on her back.

"I've got the Akatsuki member Neji like you said!" She said cheerfully. Neji nodded. "Where do you want me to put him?"

Neji turned to Tsunade. "Well Lady Tsunade, what would you like to do with him?" Tsunade looked at Deidara, concentrating. She could either have him killed and solve alot of problems, or she could keep him alive and get some information out of him. She didn't know how stubborn this Akatsuki member was though...

"Keep him alive. Shaylee, come with me and we'll take him to a seperate room." The girl, who was called Shaylee, nodded. She headed to the room with Tsunade, whilst Lee and Neji looked at each other.

"Do you think Tenten will be okay?" Lee asked, his voice full of concern.

"Tenten is strong Lee, remember that, she will be okay..." Neji said. The two stood in an awkuard silence before heading out of the hospital and to find some more people to help.

They soon came across Hinata, Sakura and Naruto. By this time, Sakura had just about fully recovered Hinata's wound, and the girl was now awake.

Neji rushed over. "Did something happen to lady Hinata?" Hinata looked up at her cousin.

"No, well yes put Sakura looked after me, thank you Sakura." Sakura smiled, wiping the few beads of sweat on her forehead.

"No problem Hinata." Naruto smiled, helping the blue haired girl up. Hinata was blushing uncontrollably during the whole process.

"Hey Neji, do you know if the Akatsuki are still here?" Naruto asked. Neji shook his head.

"From the sounds of it, I think they have all left. Apart from this one that we captured, he's in the hospital." Naruto looked at Neji, slight annoyance in his eyes.

"Why are we _helping_ the Akatsuki?" Naruto aked. "That's just stupid!"

"Lady Tsunade's orders Naruto..." Lee said.

"Oh, do you know why then?"

"Well Tsunade's hoping to get some information out of him, but from the looks of his wounds, it might be a while until he actually wakes up..." Naruto nodded.

"Okay then... so what do we do now?"

He felt light-headed as he finally opened his eyes. The whole room spun around despite him lying down. Wait...

Deidara quickly sat up, taking in his new surroundings... something wasn't right.

When he blacked out he was in this forest. Something doesn't make sense then... how is he in a hospital room?

The room was clean enough, with white walls and white floors. In Deidara's opinion, the room was _to_ white to his liking, but found he had no one to complain to...

"Well it seems that you've woken up..." Deidara jumped as a voice echoed into his ears. It sounded like the person was shouting in his ear, but in reality they spoke gently.

Tsunade walked into the room, crossing her arms as the door closed behind her. Her eyes met with Deidara's azure orbs. Those quick seconds seemed to last a life time for the two.

"What do you want, un?" Deidara finally broke the silence, though he kept his steady gaze onto Tsunade. She sighed in reply.

"If you haven't already figured it out, your in a hospital, or to be more presist, the hidden leaf village's hospital." Deidara quickly paled as he finally realised where we was. Then again, it was logical to think that, after all Tsunade was here...

"I think that's already obvious enough..." Deidara said back, his eyes narrowing quickly, watching the blonde woman as she were his prey.

Then again, he wasn't going to be fighting anytime soon. "Your injurys were pretty bad, consider yourself lucky that your alive. You've been asleep for atleast a week." Deidara took it all in, though one thing didn't make sense to him.

"Why did you help me, un?" Tsunade smiled slightly, making Deidara more suspicious as he were before. He _knew_ that look, that look of blackmail.

"Well in return for us saving you _I'm_ going to ask you a personal favour. Your going to tell me _everything_ about the Akatsuki..." Deidara raised an eyebrow, did she really think that he was just going to tell her anything? Hah! If she did then she had another thing coming...

"And so what will happen if I don't, un? Are you seriously thinking that I'm just going to tell you everything like that?" Tsunade shrugged.

"No, I didn't think this to be easy. Well if your not going to co-operate then I guess we could easily kill you..." She was just teasing, but the younger blonde took her seriously, _to_ seriously.

"I could easily do that myself, un!" He tugged on a random wire that was hooked up to him. Though no matter how hard he tugged, he couldn't find the strengh to pull it out of him completely. He let it go in defeat.

"As you see your to weak to do anything..." Tsunade said. She turned around and headed to the door. "And one more thing..." she had a hidden smirk on her face as she said this... "Your going to be with us for a long time..."

Deidara frowned as she left the room, what did she mean by that? Maybe she couldn't bring herself to say goodbye and wants Deidara to stay in the village? The blonde grinned as the thought of Tsunade begging at his feet, begging him not to leave the village. Yeah he could just imagine her begging for mercy as he pulled out some clay to blow up this sorry village... His clay! The blonde looked around wildly for his clay, but couldn't find it anywhere.

_"Those bastards! They must of taken it! I swear I'm going to kill them once I get my hands on them! Yeah! You'll wish you never messed with me!"_ Deidara remembered his art, real art. Silly Sasori, thinking art was eternal! Whats the point in something lasting forever? That would just be _boring_, looking at the same damn thing over and _over_ again till you were bored out of your mind. Fleeting, that's better. Art is something that lasts a few moments after it's birth, something that's life is fleeting, to just last a few moments before it explodes! Now _that_ is real art, art is an EXPLOSION!

Deidara thought that Konoha wouldn't appriciate art, so there would be no point wasting his talent on this town. Yeah, as soon as he got out of this _stupid_ hospital, he_ will_ get his revenge!

He soon heard muffled voices from behind his door and once again Tsunade walked in, with another person. The person, how did they remind Deidara of someone he once knew? Well that didn't matter...

"Deidara?" Tsunade said. He simply ignored her, turning his head to the side in a childish way. This however didn't even bother Tsunade. "This is Shaylee, she will be your guard from now on."

The girl 'Shaylee' stepped into the room completely. So that was her name?

_"Funny, she looks like my old cousin, even has the same name... but it can't be Shaylee... Shaylee is dead..."_ Deidara refused to make eye contact with either of the females, so Tsunade just left the room, leaving the pink haired girl and blondie together.

At first, Shaylee didn't do anything, but just sit in a chair in the corner, keeping a close eye on Deidara. It surprised her when Tsunade gave her the mission of watching Deidara, it was even an A ranked mission, probably because it was an Akatsuki member she was guarding. She had been told though that he hopefully won't be up to fighting, well for now. Shaylee looked over at the blonde.

He was simply looking out of the window, looking like he didn't have a single care in the world. It wasn't like that though, Deidara cared _dreadfully_. For a starters, he let himself get kidnapped! He could hear all the other member's laughing at him about it. Then that cursed Uchiha will think he was weak, when he wasn't! Damn Itachi, always looking down at him because he had the stupid Sharingan. One day, oh one day Deidara will have sweet victory over Itachi, he will beat his sharingan! Then Itachi will look up to Deidara and know he _is_ the stronger one out of them both! Yes! DAMN UCHIHA!

"What are you smiling about?" Shaylee asked, noticing that Deidara had been smiling for the last five minutes. The smile quickly turned into a scowl as Deidara once again turned away, his nose high in the air and he made a 'hmm' sound as he didn't want to answer.

Shaylee rolled her eyes at his childish behaviour. It kind of surprised her how this blonde, or...well the mad bomber, could be such a dangerous criminal. He looks so innocent right now... Despite him being known as a killer, Shaylee knew that Deidara couldn't of been _that_ bad. Infact, Deidara reminded Shaylee of her cousin, who was also called Deidara. Shaylee had thought that the blonde could of possibly been her cousin, but she knew her cousin wouldn't of grown up to be apart of the Akatsuki, right?

"Okay then, don't tell me then..." Shaylee muttered. She rubbed her eyes as she realised it was around late at night. She left her apartment at around ten in the night, Tsunade wanted her at the hospital as soon as possible.

"Do you know what time it is, un?" Deidara suddenly asked, reluculently looking over at Shaylee. His eyes met her green orbs. He could tell that she was a gentle character and wouldn't hurt him, well hopefully. You shouldn't judge a person by their apperance. Well Deidara was right about Shaylee being a gentle person.

"I'm not sure... can I trust you to behave if I go and check for you?" Deidara was still for a few seconds, before nodding his head slowly. Shaylee smiled at him and left the room. Going down the hallway she saw a clock, it was around 1 in the morning. Well, time flys when your having fun right?

She quickly headed back into the hospital room. Thankfully Deidara was still sitting patiently in the bed, though he was now lying down instead of sitting up.

"It's around 1am..." Shaylee said, sitting back down on the chair.

"Thanks, un..." Shaylee heard Deidara say sleepily. It wasn't long until the blonde was finally asleep, so Shaylee took a risk of going to sleep herself. Deidara wouldn't try to escape... right?

XXX

"Shaylee?" The girl woke up with a start, quickly sitting up. She saw Shizune, who was looking at her with a small smile. Shaylee looked over to the bed and thankfully saw that Deidara was still asleep.

"Yeah?" Shizune looked over at the blonde then back at Shaylee, her smile still on her face.

"He didn't do anything right?" Shaylee shook her head as she yawned. She found that it was only 6am meaning she only got a few hours sleep. "You can go home and rest if you want, we have someone else to switch swifts with you if you want?"

"Really? Is that okay?" Shizune nodded. "Thank you, I'm _so _tired." Shaylee walked out of the room and going down the corridoor she saw Naruto heading towards the blonde's room.

"Hey Shay!" Naruto said, stopping and giving his friend a big smile. "I'm going to go and watch Deidara now, I'm the other person who's watching him!" Naruto explained. Shaylee nodded, once again yawning though she quickly covered her mouth.

"Sorry..." Naruto smiled, before patting her on the back.

"It's okay, go and get some rest. I can watch this guy, believe it!" Shaylee giggled and then headed out of the hospital to go home for a well earned rest.

When Naruto walked into the room he saw Shizune frowning at the foot of the bed.

"Is there something wrong?" Naruto asked, standing next to her.

"No..." Shizune said, though she still frowned. "Can you believe someone like this could be so evil? I mean, he looks like a child when he is asleep, must of had a bad start to life to be in the Akatsuki at his age..." Naruto raised an eyebrow at Shizune's comment.

"What do you mean?" She shrugged.

"Ignore what I said, just keep a close eye on him okay? If he does anything suspicious alert me quickly okay?" Naruto nodded and Shizune left the room, leaving the two blondes alone.

Naruto sat down on the chair that Shaylee originally sat on, getting comfy, he knew this job was going to be long. Well he_ thought _it was going to be long. It surprised him as he saw Deidara's eyes slowly flutter open.

The bomber looked around the room. For a split second he forgot where he was but now he remembered that he was in Konoha hospital. In his dream he was flying on a clay bird, free from Konoha, free from the Akatsuki, free from his life. He was just free to do whatever he wanted, free with the people he wanted to be with, people who wouldn't go missing...

"Are you awake?" Naruto asked, wondering if the blonde was somehow doing a trick or something. Deidara sighed as he heard Naruto's voice, he was hoping it would be that girl from last night.

"What do you think, un?" Deidara muttered, half annoyed, half tired. Naruto rolled his eyes, this was going to be a long day...

"Jeez, I was just asking, don't have to snap at me..." Naruto said. Deidara smirked in reply, oh all he was going to do to Naruto is snap at him.

"You can't tell me what to do..." Deidara said, sitting up slightly to face Naruto. It was a surprise to see Naruto standing right beside the bed.

"You seem better..." Naruto said, squinting at Deidara's arm. The blonde quickly pulled it away, not wanting Naruto to look at it. Infact he didn't even want Naruto to look at him. There was nothing he could do about _that_ though...

"Well I feel better, un..." Deidara replyed. He looked down at his arm to notice it had been stitched back together, there was a scar. The stitching had been done careful, Deidara had to admit that.

"Well... good..." Naruto simply answered. He went back to his chair and sat down on it, crossing his arms. Why did he volenteer to do this job again? He should of known it was going to be a long day...

_Mightnight at Iwagakure_

_The two Iwa ninja's walked along the path, each with a smile on their faces._

_"My first S ranked mission Dei! I can't wait!" The female beemed. Deidara smiled at her, tucking a piece of hair behind his ears, it was long even now._

_Deidara and his cousin Shaylee were young, Deidara being 9 and Shaylee being 8. Shaylee was a skilled ninja and got her team a S ranked mission._

_"You'll be alright won't you Shay, un?" Deidara asked, slightly worried. "I don't want anything to happen to my little cousin..." Shaylee rolled her eyes, patting the blonde on the head._

_"If you haven't noticed, I'm actually taller then you!" Shaylee said, smirking. It was true, the girl was actually only a centimeter taller than Deidara, but it still meant she was taller._

_Back then, Shaylee had short shoulder length hair, which was a bright natural blonde. Her eyes were a lighter green. The girl's eyelashes were long and thick, and it looked liked she always wore mascara. Her lips were a dark pink, almost a red, once again people mistook the colour for make-up. Shaylee's shirt was a long sleeved dark green one, which was soft since it was made of cotton. She wore red shorts, which were just above her knees. To cover her legs, she wore long dark blue boots, which had a mixture of grey added as well. They had heels on aswell, but Shaylee somehow managed to just about keep her balance and still managed to run fast._

_"Your wearing heels though, un." Deidara pointed out. "If I wore heels then I would be taller then you!" He stood on the tips of his toes, and stood taller then Shaylee. He grinned slightly, whilst Shaylee pushed her older cousin._

_"Oh well, it doesn't matter does it?" Shaylee said, carrying on. The moonlight poured through the branches of the trees, lighting up the path below. The two carried on, not a word coming from either other's lips. The only sound they made was when they took a step, a gentle 'clip-clop' coming from Shaylee's heels and a even more quieter sound coming from each step the older blonde took. The silence was peacful, expecially since it was so rare to get it. In Iwakagure, it was always noisy, mostly from the explosions going on._

_They soon reached the edge of a cliff, where the rest of Shaylee's team was waiting. Deidara turned to Shaylee, giving her a big smile. "Good luck Shay, though I know your going to do great, un!" He pulled his cousin in for a hug, which she happily accepted._

_When they let go Shaylee reached into her pouch, pulling out a key. "Look after this for me Dei, it opens the box on my window ledge. If I don't return you can have the box and what's inside okay?" She dropped the piece of metal in Deidara's palm. He carefully stuffed it into his pocket._

_"Though we both know your coming back, un." Deidara said, smiling. Shaylee nodded, before going to her group. The two blonde's gave each other one last wave goodbye, before Shaylee and her team started to jump through the branches of the tree. Deidara stayed until he could not longer see his cousin._

_"You better come back Shaylee..." Deidara thought. "If we loose you then the whole family will fall apart..." The family Deidara came from was slightly broken._

_It all started three years ago, when there was an attack on the village. Deidara's parents had gone out to defend the village, whilst Deidara stayed with his aunt and cousin. His uncle had also gone to fight. The blonde was a nervous wreck, scared that his parents would be killed. It didn't matter how many times Shaylee or his aunt promised him that his parents would be okay, he would only believe it when he got to see them ago. Soon the finally explosion was set of and the village became silent, to silent. Shaylee and Deidara quickly ran out of the house, to find their parents, but when they did they were in for a surprise. They were all dead together, underneith some fallen rubble from one of the houses._

_So then it just became Deidara, Shaylee and his Aunt. Deidara had gone to live with them and they got on well. Shaylee even decided that Deidara would be her 'big brother' instead of cousin. Now Shaylee was on a mission, both Deidara and his aunt were nervous, and both hoped that she would be okay._

_The blonde looked over the edge before heading back to the village, before sitting down in his bedroom. The key he held dug into his palm, though he made no attempt to move it._

_"You have to come back home Shaylee, un..." Deidara said quietly to himself..._

_XXX_

_It had been three weeks since Shaylee had gone on her mission, and even Deidara knew that she should of come back home by now. The rest of the team had, everyone but Shaylee._

_The blonde ignored the team saying that there was no way of getting her back, and left to find her. He had no luck and returned back empty handed, though that didn't stop him from trying again... and again. It was the same routine everyday. Wake up, eat breakfast, leave the village to find Shaylee, return at midnight and sleep till 6 to find Shaylee again. _

_His Aunt soon started to grow worried, as the blonde started to ignore his duties of being a ninja. He would soon be to weak to be a ninja. His body was practically skin and bones, but that didn't stop him from searching for his cousin. He went to different villaged, searched the nearby forests and went into close by caves, but he still couldn't find Shaylee. He soon realised he would have to go further out in the world to find Shaylee, go to further away villages. So one night he did that, instead of heading back home like he promised his aunt, he headed out further to find Shaylee._

_Still no luck. "It's no use, un!" Deidara declared one day, burying his head into his pillow as he started to weep. "She's dead!" It had now been four years since Shaylee had disappeared and Deidara now knew that she would most likely to be dead._

_He decided to later on use the key and headed into Shaylee's untouched bedroom, no one had been in there since the dissapearance of Shaylee. He found the box on the window ledge._

_It was a blue wooden box, the wood shiny and smooth. There were silver swirls over the lid of the box, and carved swirls on the side of the box. There was then a lock on the box, which was silver metal. Deidara pulled out the key for the box. His hands shook as he pushed the key into the hole and slowly began to twist it. He heard the 'click' to show it was open and he slowly lifted the lid up. Inside the box was a picture. It was a small one and the edges were sharp, as it were just printed. The picture was in colour and it was one of Deidara and Shaylee, just one day before Shaylee's mission. There was only on picture of this and Shaylee had got it. _

_On the other side of the picture there was writing. With tears in his eyes, Deidara just about read it._

_Dei,_

_I know I'm problee's going to return so there isn't really any point of writing this. If by some change I don't return from the mission, here's a picture of us both, you remember taking this picture right? Well I was the one who took it, you look so cute in it! I still was taller then you by the way._

_From your favourite cousin (and only) Shaylee._

The blonde woke up with a start, his breathing deep as he tried to remain calm.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked, walking over to the blonde. It surprised Naruto when he saw that Deidara had tears running down his face, though his azure orbs looked at Naruto desperately. Deidara shook his head, closing his eyes as he tried to calm him self down from the sweet nightmare he had. It was sweet, seeing Shaylee again, but a nightmare as it reminded Deidara that Shaylee was dead.

Deidara quickly calmed himself down, and opened his eyes to see that Naruto was still looking at him, his face was pure concern.

"Are you okay now?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, un..." Deidara said quietly, wiping his eyes with his hand. He noticed that his cheek was wet from all the tears, how long had he been crying for?

Naruto looked at the blonde bomber uncertainly, but took his words and went back to sit down on his chair again. He had noticed that Deidara had been crying for a while, but when he went over to check he found that he was sleeping. It took him a moment to realise that the blonde was having a nightmare.

Deidara placed his head back onto the soft pillow below him. That nightmare seemed so real. It had been a while since his last nightmare about Shaylee, so why did he have one now, _especcialy_ now? Naruto was now going to think him even weaker now...

The two blondes stayed in the room silently, not really sure on what to say to one another. Deep inside, Deidara desperately wanted to talk to anyone, that included Naruto. He didn't think that Naruto would appreciate him talking to him though. Naruto however, a part of him wanted to talk to Deidara, ask him about the Akatsuki. Naruto though knew that he wasn't aloud to mention that to Deidara, Tsunade wanted to be the one to talk to Deidara about that.

"Uh Danna is going to be so mad when I return back to the base, un..." Deidara muttered to himself out loud by accident, he had forgot that Naruto was in the room.

"Who's Danna?" Naruto asked, though bit his tounge afterwards, he wasn't supposed to ask him questions about the Akatsuki! Well maybe this wouldn't do any harm...

Deidara raised an eyebrow up at Naruto as the bomber sat up, crossing his arms. However he did give the blonde an answer, well not an answer that was useful to Naruto. "Non of your business, un..."

_"Why didn't I guess that would happen?"_ Naruto thought, sighing as he slumped further into his seat, crossing his arms and blowing on a piece of spiked hair. His head protection however was around his forehead and it made it harder for Naruto to blow on the hair, so he gave up after five blows.

Deidara smiled in triumph, though it turned into a scowl as he saw Tsunade walked into the room. "Oh great it's _you_ again, un..." Deidara muttered, turning his head away and refused to give her any eye contact.

Tsunade rolled her eyes, turning to Naruto. "How has he been?" She asked.

"He's been okay..." Naruto said, deciding to miss out the fact that Deidara had been crying before and spoke out aloud about an Akatsuki member, who went by 'Danna'.

"Okay, you can go for some lunch if you want..." Tsunade said, and Naruto quickly jumped out of his chair and ran out of the room. Tsunade turned to Deidara, giving a soft sigh.

"I would offer you something to eat, but I know you'll be to stubborn to accept it." Deidara shrugged.

"Yeah you got that right, un. I'd rather starve to death, your not getting any information out of me! Yeah... I won't tell you anything, just remember that, un!" Tsunade shrugged aswell.

"Shizune said that you are recovering rather well and says that you can leave tomorow, you do realise though that you'll be going straight to the dungeons where we keep bad ninjas?" She said the end as if Deidara were a child, slightly annoying the younger blonde but he managed to hold his tounge for once.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, this has been the longest that Deidara had managed to stay quiet. "You do realise you can tell me anything right now, which also includes any information about the Akatsuki?" Tsunade said hopefully. Deidara smiled at her.

"There isn't really anything to tell you about the Akatsuki, un. So that's why I _won't_ be telling you anything." Deidara said, with a look of triumph on his face once he had finished his sentence. Tsunade sighed impatiently before turning back to the door.

"Damn stubborn Akatsuki member..." she muttered under her breath.

"Annoying old hag, un!" Deidara shouted after. Tsunade ignored the comment and carried on to leave the room, though something then caught her attention. "The Akatsuki will be here to bust me out soon..." Deidara muttered, then decided to examine his fingernails. The black nail polish was no longer on his fingers.

Tsunade left the room silently. _"We're just going to have to get more guards on duty then..."_
