Chapter 5

Kurotsuchi

Alright, I had to get away from this Tobi-creep. Somehow I would have to manipulate him into leaving the room, and then I could stage my escape plan. Okay, so my escape plan was looking pretty pathetic at the moment, but I would think of something. I really don't care what I had to do, as long as I got away from Tobi. And that's why I could've rejoiced when a perfect idea popped into my head.

"Tobi, did you hear that?" Tobi turned to look at me from where he sat, pouring himself tea.

"Hear what, Kura-chan?" He asked, his voice dripping with innocence.

"I think Deidara just called for you." I said, smiling as Tobi leaped up.

"Really, Kohai?"

"Yeah! You should probably go check on him!" I smiled as Tobi darted out of the room yelling "Sempai!" Now was my chance. I squirmed around the room until I reached a conveniently placed kunai. Cutting the ropes was almost too easy and I smiled at my accomplishment as I stood, sneaking out of the room. I could vaguely hear Tobi and Deidara yelling down the hall and I smirked as I turned to sneak off. Take that, Deidara-ni! I was caught off guard when I rammed into someone. I hit the ground hard, wincing at the impact. Then I snapped my head upwards, ready to tell of whoever had just rammed into me.

"Itachi, do you know who this is?" The blue man asked, his beady eyes glowering at me as I scooted back.

"Hn." His rather attractive, dark-haired partner grunted, his black eyes boring into me. I could only stare at them, my mouth hanging open.

"Are you an informant or something?" The blue man asked. Good! A cover!

"Yes, I was just leaving." I said. He rose an eyebrow at me, turning to his partner.

"Hn."

"Good point, Itachi," he turned back to me, his eyes studying me. "Why does your headband lack a mark through it?" I stayed calm as I regained my composure, no longer taken back by the fact that his skin was azure.

"Informant, remember? I have to sneak into the village." I smiled hopefully at him and he looked at his indifferent partner. Then he shrugged, and sauntered carelessly past me. I waited until he had taken a few steps before standing up and darting down the hall, keeping my eyes on his back until he had disappeared from my line of sight. What a relief, I was finally rid of any...My thoughts were interrupted when I ran straight into a very cushiony surface. If I had been any taller, I probably would've fallen over the couch. Thankfully, I was a very petite person and I only suffered the wind being knocked out of me. It was only a minor delay, because from the couch I saw a surprisingly as well as conveniently placed door. My escape was close at hand, I only needed to leap over the couch and run out the door. I did just that, and when I opened the door I was greeted with black cloaks instead of a convenient escape. Of course it wouldn't be that easy. Nothing ever was.

Deidara

"Go away, un!" I yelled, pushing Tobi away as I tried to ignore Sasori's wide smirk. "Go bother Kurotsuchi, yeah!"

"But Sempai, Kuro-chan said you called for me!"

"I did no such thing, un! Now get lost, yeah!" I yelled, pushing Tobi away. He immediately scampered back, hugging me tightly.

"Quiet down, brats." Sasori muttered as he played around with his puppets. I ignored him, continuing to wrestle with Tobi. It wasn't until I pried Tobi off of me and kicked his face, sending me backwards, that Sasori lost it. The sound of wood splintering under my weight was enough of a forecast on Sasori's mood. And the look on his face made my next move clear, I had to run. Run like there was no tomorrow. And I did just that, laughing as I left Tobi to face the brunt of Sasori's anger. Perfect. I ran through the halls, pushing past Itachi and Kisame (if Sasori wasn't going to be hot on my trail I would teach the arrogant Uchiha a lesson) and leaping over the poorly-placed couch. Konan really needed to redesign the living room again. The flowers on the couch and curtains were just downright atrocious.

"Come back here, brat! You are going to replace that puppet!" Sasori's voice echoed down the hall, causing me to chuckle. As if I would pay for his inferior art when my own fleeting art required money. It wasn't like clay was just lying around on the streets. I was already on minimum wage, I didn't need to have to cover Sasori. As I drew near the front door I noticed a tiny figure trying to get it unlocked. Was that...yes, it was Kurotsuchi...what was she doing out?

"I said to come back, brat!" Sasori's angry yells were drawing closer and I didn't have time to worry about Kurotsuchi. Instead of herding her back to her room I simply pushed her aside, unlocked the door, and took off running, scooping her up and holding her over my shoulder. I didn't have time to think about what I was going to do, I could only worry about getting away from Sasori.
