A CHANCE ENCOUNTER:

A Deidara and Hinata Story

CHAPTER 1: Encounter

__________________________________________________________

She walked down the long dirt path taking a nature walk. But she did not notice the sign that said "PRIVATE PROPERTY: TRESPASSERS BEWARE." Her leg hit a tripwire sending kunai, shuriken, and bo shuriken flying her way. She raised her hands to protect herself, but it was too late.

One side of a huge boulder opened and a tall blond-haired boy wearing an Akatsuki cloak stepped out. His hair was tied up with a red ribbon and his hair covered his left eye hiding a scouter. He sighed and said, "Guys! I'm going out for a while, un!" He really just wanted to get out of doing his chores that were forced on him and only him each day. Then a blood-curdling scream broke the silence. He leaped to his feet to investigate.

So far for the next few hundred yards, everything seemed normal. That is until Deidara's scouter picked up something and on a screen said, "UNKNOWN OBJECT DETECTED." He jumped down from a tree and went over to the object lying face-down in its own blood. He picked up something lying next to it. The object was a tag that read, "HINATA HYUGA…Sex: F….AGE: 15….HEIGHT: 5' 3"….Weight: 89.9 Lbs. Rank: Chunin." He then dropped it and looked at her as his scouter's screen read, "CONDITION CRITICAL: HEARTRATE: 17 BPM…70%BLOODLOSS….NEEDS IMMEDIATE CARE." Then a small map popped up and said," NEAREST HOSPITAL: 3 MILES…KONOHA REGIONAL CARE HOSPITAL."

Deidara thought to himself carefully, "She's dying, I need to help….even if it means getting thrown out of the Akatsuki, I have to save her, hm." He then turned to a large boulder and said, "Maybe if I can cause a big enough explosion, I can blow a cave into this rock!" He unzipped his bag of clay, "But I have to hurry!" His hand-mouth opened from his palm quickly chewing up some clay. After about 30 seconds, it opened and 5 small clay birds came out. He dropped them in front of the large rock and formed a hand-seal. "KATSU!" There was an explosion loud enough to wake up Queen Elizabeth in England. He soon stood in front of a large cave with the entrance large enough for at least a bear to get through standing up. Deidara quickly scooped up Hinata in his arms and ran into the cave. He set her down and leaned her against a wall. Using some unused clay that had not been infused with Chakra and a couple of thick pieces of thread from his cloak, he made some candles and lit them. He pulled out the weapons VERY carefully. Deidara then ran back to the base and got some of Hidan's spare blood bags out of the fridge, some wet cloths, and some bandages. He then came back with them to a still unconscious Hinata. After all of the blood was cleaned, he took a small needle from the first aid kit and began transferring the new blood to her. Her wounds were soon stitched and bandaged up.

Hinata lied on a mat with a pillow that Deidara had gotten from his own bed for her to recover. She lied there for days with no response. Deidara became worried that she may not wake up. His hair was frizzy and he had dark circles under his eyes. Until about 6 days later, her eyes began to open slowly. Deidara was over in a corner when he heard a small groan come from her. He rushed over to her as she slowly woke up. She saw Deidara hanging over her when her vision came back gradually. Once she saw his cloak, she instantly became frightened.

But Deidara held up his hand and said, "Don't worry, I saved your life. I'm not going to hurt you." She then dropped her guard. "Where am I?"she asked weakly. "You're about maybe 500 yards from the Akatsuki base." She looked at her body which was covered in bandages. Her coat and undershirt were lying beside her since Deidara couldn't get to her upper body considering it received the most damage along with her arms. Her torso was covered in bandages. It almost seemed like it WAS a shirt considering the weapons hit her almost everywhere. Almost NO place on her upper body wasn't covered in bandages.

He sat down next to her and gave her some water. "What happened before I found you?" Deidara asked her. "Well," she said recalling the past events that had happened. "I was on a nature walk when I saw a kunai coming at me. Then I realized that there were weapons coming at me in all directions. I tried using my Protective-Eight Triagrams to fend it off, but I used it too late. Everything went black and then I woke up here. How long have I been here?" "About 6 days.." "I see."Would you like something to eat?" "That sounds good right about now." "Okay! I'll be right back." He left the cave and returned with some chicken and tea. As she ate, she couldn't help but keep looking at him and blushing as he made some small clay sculptures. She began thinking, "Maybe Deidara-Kun isn't so bad, maybe he has a lighter side from his life with the Akatsuki. Maybe, just maybe I changed him."
