I have never seen anything like this before - so many scents, sounds and colours! I stared in awe at the wonderfully decorated village square which was full of people and entertainment. It was difficult to move because of the huge crowd – children were running around me, laughing loudly, holding their newly bought toys and food, while adults were dancing, talking or just staring at this beautiful festival. All of them were dressed up nicely and I could see smiles on their faces. I felt this alluring smell of chocolate and glanced to the side - there were lots of stalls inviting to try out some delicious sweets or lotteries, I could even see a stage a bit further – someone was playing here while the people were clapping and cheering. All these sensations were making me dizzy, in a good way. I just couldn't hold back a chuckle.
'Hey, young lady! Try out my waffles! I will give you one for free!' Some man shouted and I turned around to see him waving his hand at me heartily.
I smiled shyly and forced my way towards him. He smiled at me too.
'Is it really for free?'
'Of course! I'd be happy to give something to such a beautiful lady. Choose anything you like!'
I blushed slightly and stared at the appetizing waffles on his table. There were so many of them – white, milk or black chocolate, with hazelnuts or without them... And they all looked and smelled so good...!
'I would like to take this one,' I murmured, pointing at the simple waffle with milk chocolate poured on it.
'Simple yet sweet and lovely. Here you go!'
I thanked softly to the man and sent him a warm smile before taking the hot waffle out of his hands. I finally tasted it – the sugary essence filled my mouth, melting slowly, making me purr quietly in pleasure. I have never imagined that this would be so delicious!
Deidara's P.O.V
'Hey, Ayumi-chan! Wanna take a look around the village, un?' I asked after knocking on the girl's door, feeling all excited inside.
No answer. I knocked a few more times.
'Ayumi-chan..?'
I furrowed my eyebrows and tried to open the door – it was looked. Where is she...?
'Danna, un!'
'Damn, brat! How many times do I have to tell you not to disturb me while I'm resting!'
'Ayumi-chan is missing!'
There was a short pause as Sasori's door opened and his head popped out. He looked irritated.
'What do you mean she's missing?'
'Well I came here to... Uhm... Ask her out...' I murmured, hearing the red head snicker at me. 'Well she's not here, un!'
'Do you have any idea where did she go, Deidara?'
'Of course I don't! Why else I would bother myself to ask you, un...'
Why was that idiot smirking at me? Dumb ass! I snorted and made my way to the stairs.
'Where do you think are you going, brat?'
'To search for her, of course, un!'
'I'm going with you in case you decide to blow something up.'
'I'm not that stupid, okay?! Leave me alone, un!'
I grunted in annoyance as the blondie left, not giving me another glance. What a fool. I grabbed my coat and went downstairs too.
'Is there any chance that you're searching for Ayumi-chan, young man?'
I glared at the old woman at the reception – there was a small smile on her features. I narrowed my eyes.
'She left for the festival. I'm afraid it might be hard to find her th-'
'Thank you,' I nodded to her and left before she could say anything else.
Mizuki's P.O.V
I giggled as the red haired boy quickly went through the door. The blondie before him dashed out so fast I didn't even have any time to tell him where Ayumi is. Both of them looked quite displeased...
Oh, those young hearts...! I smiled softly as I remembered the days of my youth. I used to be like them too – always hasty to live...
I stroked my chin slightly as a question appeared in my mind. Why all of them are wearing those black coats with red clouds? Is this some kind of uniform representing their village? Oh well, I should ask this Ayumi when she comes back...
Ayumi's P.O.V
I grinned and clapped as some dark brown haired young boy, about ten years old, finished playing the violin and bowed to us. Everybody cheered. The way he played was very lovely… I wish I knew how to play something.
'He's truly good, isn't he?'
I turned to my right to see a young man smiling softly. He was maybe a bit older than me, had chestnut coloured hair which reached his shoulders and black eyes. The man was wearing a simple but expensive dark blue yukata and looked quite good. At least I thought so.
'Y-Yes… He's wonderful,' I muttered quietly and returned his smile.
His face brightened even more.
'I'm Jun. What's your name? I haven't seen you around here before.'
'My name is Ayumi. I-I'm just a traveller… Tomorrow I'm going to leave this country.'
'Is that so…?' The man whose name was Jun pondered, brushing his hair to the side. 'What a shame… I would be quite happy to have such a pretty girl in my village. Anyway… Would you like to dance with me?'
I blushed slightly at him.
'D-Dance..?'
'Yes. Come on, I won't bite… Hard,' he chuckled, taking my hand in his.
I hesitated for a while, but Jun was very persistent. Maybe it won't hurt to let myself go once in a while..?
I laughed loudly as Jun spinned me around. It was really fun! Everybody was dancing now, because the music was lively and the whole village was vibrating from it. My head felt dizzy as all the colourful garlands and lights became blurry in my mind… It all looked like some kind of space full of rainbow colours and movements. The music finally stopped and I backed away from Jun. We were both grinning from ear to ear.
'T-This was just… Wow..!' I whispered, still trying to catch my breath.
The man chuckled and pulled me to the wall slightly, away from the huge crowd. I was fine with it though. I felt really tired...
'How do you like this festival?'
'I love it! I haven't been in one for such a long time... It's amazing,' I grinned at Jun as he stood close to me.
His lips curved into another smile as his fingers suddenly went to my face and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. I shuddered at his touch, not in a nice way. My body moved on its own and I slapped his arm to the side lightly.
'P-Please... Don't.'
'Come on, relax... No need to be so modest,' Jun smirked at me as he gripped my elbow tightly. 'I will show you a nice place, okay?'
My heart skipped a beat and my eyes widened – only now I realized the way he was staring at me. I knew that look... It was filled with lust. How could I be so naive?
'L-Let me go, please,' I said calmly, trying to get out of his grasp.
'What if I don't want to?' He smirked even more and took a hold of my other arm. 'You know you want it too... Just come with me, Ayumi-chan.'
I was about to use my ninja arts when Jun's body was tore away from mine and sent flying backwards. He landed on his back with a loud thud. The people around us went quiet and stared at the scene. I noticed chakra string attached to the man's legs and arms.
'The girl asked you to let her go. If you try to do something stupid again, I'm going to kill you. Get out.'
My mouth opened as I glanced at the red haired man standing in front of me. His voice was dripping with venom. I knew that he wasn't kidding.
Jun got up and brushed his yukata, not daring to look back at us. He went away without another word.
Sasori turned to me and glared intently. I gulped in shame and lowered my head... He was probably disappointed.
Sasori's P.O.V
At least I found Ayumi before anything bad happened. She blushed slightly and turned her eyes away, afraid to meet my gaze. That's understandable. First she sneaked out of the hotel without saying anything to me or Sasori and now she got into trouble with that idiot.
I don't know why, but I just couldn't keep being angry at her for a long time. Especially now, when she looked so... Nice. A silky kimono was wrapped around her small body, the gray color of it and blue flowers made her soft face features stand out. Her fair hair looked a bit wild, but it only made her look more natural, not completely like a doll. Every detail just matched her perfectly... She looked truly beautiful.
'Come on, let's go back,' I told her in a sharp tone and took her arm, not roughly, but firmly.
She didn't resist me and walked by my side.
Ayumi's P.O.V
We kept walking in awkward silence. I didn't know what to say. Finally Sasori started speaking:
'An S-rank criminal can't defend herself against some foolish man who is hitting on her. What a shame.'
I sweatdropped at his words, but smiled a bit. At least his tone wasn't as mean as I expected it to be.
'Sorry... I didn't mean to cause you trouble, Sasori...'
He snorted something, but stayed quiet.
We went further and further away from the village square - all noise was somewhere behind us. I could finally hear the silent whispers of the night.
'What's disturbing you, Ayumi? Just tell me.'
I stopped dead in my tracks at Sasori's words. He stopped too and stared at me.
'N-Nothing... Why did you think so..?' I muttered and looked away shyly, but it was pointless.
It's ironic, but you could never deceive the master of puppets. He could read people better than anyone else.
'Did something happen between you and Itachi?'
I stayed quiet. This only confirmed that he was right. We both knew it. It was no use to try to hide it anymore. I didn't want to, anyway. I'm not sure why, but I trusted Sasori.
'W-Well, yes... You c-could say s-so.'
The red head's face changed slightly – a triumphant smirk appeared there.
'I knew it. Do you want to tell me what happened?'
I thought for a few second, not really sure how to put it.
'Umm... T-That's a bit personal, but... I have some problems I d-don't want to tell anyone about.'
'You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But you should talk about it with Itachi.'
I shook my head sadly.
'No, I can't... He won't like me anymore if I tell him everything... I j-just... Don't want to hurt him...'
Sasori analyzed my face for a while. I was afraid that he might ask something more, but he didn't. He just said something that caused my chest to stir.
'You know, you should trust Itachi more. He went through way more than you imagine... He really knows how to deal with hardships.'
I stared at him, wide eyed, as if wondering if his words are really true.
'B-But... What i-if...?'
The puppet's face stayed indifferent, but he touched my shoulder lightly. His moves were half-hearted, but he tried his best to persuade me.
'Just tell him. Itachi wants to hear everything about you, Ayumi. I know it. He has never been this way before you joined the Akatsuki. He wants only you. Don't misunderstand him.'
Sasori's words hit me harshly. Did I really... Did I really made a mistake by not trusting Itachi? What if the puppet master is right? Is it possible that Itachi won't stop loving me...?
I was deep in thoughts as we heard a loud blast somewhere. It wasn't a big explosion, but loud enough to draw our attention to it. I watched as a vein popped on the man's forehead.
'That brat... Just leave him alone for a moment!' The red head growled dangerously, dragging me with him to the centre of outburst.
I giggled and followed him, smiling to myself.
'T-Thank you, Sasori...'
He only glanced at me, murmured something and continued running, holding tightly onto my hand.
'Deidara, what do you think you're doing?!'
I looked around only to notice some kind of bar with a smashed window and a broken door. They were obvously blown up by none else than the blondie artist. Some HUGE guy, probably the owner of the bar, was staring at Deidara, his face looked filled with rage.
Deidara was smirking evilly, but his face turned into a frown as he heard Sasori's voice.
'I was just going to search for Ayumi-chan here and this fat ass didn't let me in! I just showed him his pl-'
The clay artist stopped talking as he turned to us. His eyes widened over me and I waved to him slightly, still smiling. He just kept staring. I noticed his mouth gape open.
'Ayumi-chan...' He whispered as his face suddenly flushed in all different shades of red. 'You look... Amazing, un.'
'T-Thanks, Deidara... You didn't have to blow this place up, you know...'
The blondie seemed to ignore my words and just kept checking me out. I felt a bit uncomfortable until Sasori coughed loudly, trying to gain our attention.
'Now you have to pay for all the damage you did, brat.'
Deidara's face furrowed as he glared at the puppet master angrily.
'No! That's his own fault!'
'Deidara... Don't test my patience.'
'Why are you always ordering me around?! Fine, whatever. Let's go home, un...'
I sweatdropped at the two arguing partners. They were always like this... But I'm sure they're really good friends... Right?
The comforting warmth filled my upper body as I realized I have so many things to say to Itachi. I couldn't hold back a smile. I was almost excited to finish this mission as soon as possible and come back home – to the place where Itachi is. Gosh... Wasn't I the one anxious to leave and now I want to return to that cave? I guess there's nothing you can do... Love is just unreasonable.
Someone's P.O.V
I smirked to myself as I watched that filthy girl from around the corner. Her fake innocence and naive look... I want nothing more than to crush it. Crush her whole life like she did with mine.
'Daichi-sama, is this that Ayumi girl you were talking about before?'
I glanced at my subordinate and sent him a smirk too.
'Yes, that's her. Keep a close eye on them. Tomorrow we're going to strike.'
My heartbeat fastened as I felt adrenalin rush through my veins. I will have to wait just a bit longer... And then... Poof. You're gone, Ayumi. I came here to bring your fate.
Tobi's P.O.V
I sat on my bed, staring blankly at the dark wall in front me, thinking my plans over and over again in my head. That's the key to success. You must not leave out any gaps open or the enemy will use them against you.
I heard the quiet noise on the floor and glanced there – Zetsu popped out, like he always used to. He must have some new information – I don't let him disturb be in any other time.
'Tobi, I have some news... He finally found her.'
My gaze on him hardened, he seemed to notice it.
'What are you going to do? Doesn't he want to kill her?'
'Why do you think Sasori and Deidara are with her? There's no chance that someone will hurt my Ayumi. She's mine.'
I heard Zetsu chuckle silently.
'Do you think they're enough to protect her?'
'We're an S-rank criminal organisation, Zetsu.'
The plant man didn't say anything for a while, then disappeared into the ground again.
'As you say, Tobi. Just don't regret it later.'
I growled at Zetsu and stared at the wall again. I'm not going to regret it. I can't be wrong... I'm never wrong.
