-Time Skip: Three Days Later-

The young spy walked met the puppet and blonde who were nonchalantly waiting at the meeting place. Quickly, she made her way to meet her masters. Holding out a large scroll, she said, "here is the scroll, Deidara-sama, Sasori-sama."

It was a as long as her arm and weighed as much as a medium sized dog. Green outlined the edged of the scroll. Right after Deidara had taken the scroll, he pushed Kitsune to a tree on his right and pinned her arms above her head. Kitsune tried to react, but let it slide since she might get punished for resisting.

"Oy… When you are given instructions for a mission, you know you should follow them, un!" He calmly spat. It seemed he had some practice being harsh.

"Yes, I know, Deidara-sama," blanking replying, she looked up with a confused look.

"When you are told to seduce…" the blonde leaned in whispering, "then you should seduce… hmm…" Kitsune's face did not change, but she could feel her heart beat faster and blood rush to her cheeks. After all, Deidara is pretty handsome.

"I-I felt no need to use my body in during this mission." Deidara smirked, causing Kitsune to avert his gaze while regretting her stutter.

"tch… Then…" the scorpion began to speak, "when you are told to kill someone, kill them brat…"

"There was no reason to kill him…" Instantly, Sasori shot his poisonous tail towards her. Smashing it right next to her head, the weapon got stuck in the tree.

"O-Oy danna! That was close, un!" Doged Deidara, letting go of her wrists.

Ignoring Deidara's comment, the puppet continued to scold.

"you had a reason, it was a mission, idiot. Even though we aren't good guys, we are still ninja. The only way we get money properly is by missions and if we don't do them correctly, then the people who hired us won't pay us, brat." he hissed.

"well, at least the people who hired us didn't ask for seduction and killing the guy, hmm."

"yeah, but next time, it won't…" Sasori turned around, signaling Deidara to make one of his clay birds. Kitsune got on the bird a little frightened.

Isn't Sasori going to torture her to going against the mission?

As if he was reading her mind, he activated the jutsu. Pain burned her body, as if she was on fire.

"We are always watching you, brat, don't think you can get away with anything."

"yeah…"

I noticed…

Hugging her body as they were all ready on the bird, it flew into the air. Blood began to drip from her bottom lip. Not wanting to show her face in pain, she turned around so she sat facing the tail of bird.

The sun hid behind the hills, soon the decided to settle down. There were going back to base, but a different route. Since there were no villages nearby, they made camp.

"D-Deidara-sama…" Kitsune walked wobbly towards the blonde, "here…" She held out a small red scroll.

"hn? What is it, un?"

"Scroll about sharingans and Uchihas… You could use it to gain knowledge before fighting Itachi-san…"

"ah… thanks… un…" He looked down at the scroll and took it. Why was she doing this?

"Oi… It's best not to suck up to your masters, brat…" The puppet noticed the "gift".

"I would never do that, Sasori-dono…"

After that torturous jutsu he placed on her, she started to call him 'dono'. It took awhile, but she finally acknowledged the fact that Sasori's the "boss".

"Plus, if I were to suck up to my masters," she turned her whole body so she was completely facing the scorpion, "shouldn't I suck up to you?"

Kitsune smiled.

She had a point.

Maybe she was sucking up to Deidara so she wouldn't be alone? Maybe there was something about the blonde that she liked. What was she planning?

Sasori sighed. Heh, that's not possible.

"Get some sleep, brats, I'll keep look out." The blonde and female nodded.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

They arrived at the base. It was in a different location.

Hmm… the Akatsuki changed their base. I wonder how many bases they have…

Kitsune snapped out of her pondering. The leader appeared in front of the trio. Sasori and Deidara handed him the scroll and went off deeper into the cave. Instinctively, Kitsune followed. Pein held out his arm, stopping her from going any further.

"You have another mission." He handed her another folder.

"Yes, sir." Another mission?

Two years past. Kitsune was still working with Akatsuki, but she hasn't seen any sign of that masked man since he tortured her.

Kitsune was jumping throw the trees, going to the usual meeting spot. It had become a cycle. Unless something came up, they would meet every ten days.

The blonde was waiting out on the grassy field. Only Deidara.

"Deidara-sama… where's Sasori-dono?"

"oh, Kitsune… He… died, un."

iSasori's dead? Th-that means I can finally leave! Back to Konoha… I wonder if they would take me back…/i

Kitsune gave an inward grin.

Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind. Immediately, she flipped whoever grabbed her to the ground, putting a kunai to his throat.

"o-oh! HI! I'm Tobi!"

"Kitsune, he isn't a bad guy, un…" Kitsune jumped off the man, "unfortunately… un…"

"Kitsune, Ths is Tobi, he's ugh… my new partner… un…"

"Nice to meet you~!" the lollipop masked man greeted giddy.

Kitsune blinked at the boy. Looking at every spot, trying to find a clue to who he really is.

ith-this guy… no… Ma-Madara?/i
