Chapter 32

****Dreamstate**** third pov******

An eight year old Emiko sat on her bed, playing with her teddy called Artsy. She was telling Artsy its namesake and all about the art that she and her brother loved so much.

“My art is so pretty Artsy! When I have training with Dei-dei you have to watch, yah!” she exclaimed. “My art lights up the sky with a brightness that surpasses all… well not the sun but that’s the sun! The sun is bright but my art is a close second and if the sun and my art was in an art contest, my art’s fleeting beauty would win hand mouth’s down… hehehe,” the girl giggled, hugging the teddy close to her.

She heard a chuckle from her door and her head snapped up to meet the same blue eyes as her own. Deidara… her big brother and favourite person in the world. He has taught her everything she knows today as her mother didn’t lift a finger to help her since she was born.

“Dei-dei! I was just telling Artsy all about our Art!” she exclaimed with a bright grin upon her face and Deidara smiled at her.

“I heard, hand mouths down, un,” Deidara pointed out and Emiko giggled into her teddy. Deidara, grinned brightly at the cuteness of his little sister and scooped down and picked her up. She squealed and wrapped her arms around her brother neck, Artsy in her hand. “But you were wrong in one thing, my Little Bomber. The sun and our art would lose to your cuteness, yah.”

Emiko’s eyes widened and then smiled brightly. “But I can’t enter myself into an art contest,” she pointed out and Dei-dei frowned.

“Awe, why not, hmm?” Deidara asked and Emiko giggled at her brother.

“Because Dei-dei, I’m not art, art is fleeting and amazing. I’m human… and not fleeting,” She pointed out and Deidara hugged her tightly.

“You still just as beautiful. When you get older I’m going to have to beat the boys off with a stick... or turn them into art, hmm,” Deidara’s thoughts when towards what he would do to any boy who tries to flirt with his Little Bomber… Yeah, they wouldn’t live for more than ten seconds after their intentions were known. No one touches his little sister without consequences.

Emiko shivered. “Eww! Boys are gross! Un,” Emiko shouted, grossed out.

Deidara laughed, being pulled out of his thoughts of turning boys into art. “I’m gross, am I, un?” Deidara asked playfully.

Emiko, picking up on the playfulness, grinned.  “Yeah, Dei-dei is the grossest!” she exclaimed and Deidara gasped dramatically.

“Hurtful, un,” he joked and she giggled. “Hurtful little sister’s… what to do with them, hmm?” Deidara asked himself in fake seriousness before… “Attack! Un!”

Deidara’s hand mouths nipped at her and she squealed loudly before breaking out in giggles as he tickled her, trying to get out of his grip. “Ah! Dei!” she squealed and Deidara let go of her.

She landed on the ground and ran away from him and out of her room. Deidara, giving into the chase took off after her but not trying his hardest. If he did, then Emiko wouldn’t stand a chance of getting away.

Emiko ran as fast as she could, she could hear her brother behind her and she dropped Artsy on the ground to be able to run quicker. Emiko prided herself in her speed just as the older Emiko does now.

Emiko turned into the longue room and tried to find a hiding place, when all of a sudden she felt hands grab her around the waist before she was spun in the air. She laughed in joy and grinned right at Deidara when she was set on his hip again. Her arms wrapped around him and she hugged him as tight as she could and snuggling her head into his shoulder.

“I love you, Dei-dei. Your the best big brother ever!” she exclaimed lovingly.

Deidara smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head. “I love you too, un. My little sister… my Little Bomber. Never doubt that, hmm.”

**** end of dreamstate****

In the present time, a tear fell from the older Emiko’s eye… as chaos was around her and she didn’t know, being dead to the world… but not for long that is… (AN you guys got what that implied right? the Sound nin are there)

However, in a base far away from the Little Bomber, was the brother from the dream.

The brother was stomping down the halls of the Akatsuki base, annoyed to breaking point. First, he had to deal with that damned Uchiha as he was testing out a new explosive using those cursed eyes. Then he had to get lectured by Sasori no Danna on art… He knows what art is! Art is Fleeting and not eternal. That argument put him in a mood.

“Lecturing me on art… damned puppet, un,” Deidara growled to himself as he reached the kitchen.

He walked right past Hidan who was sitting at the dinner table eating some take out. Deidara reached the fridge and he looked in the fridge for something to eat. He finally found something he could eat and pulled it out, closing the fridge and turned around.

Hidan was looking at the artist and he could sense that he was in a bad mood. Any normal person would avoid a bomber when they are like that, for fear of setting them off… literally.

But this is Hidan and he isn’t normal. “Oi! Cross-dresser, what the f*** is up with you?!” He exclaimed and Deidara tensed at that.

“Un, I am a man!” Deidara snapped at him, “and it’s none of your business, hmm.”

Hidan smirked at Deidara. “Are you f***ing sure? You seem like you’re a b**** PMSing,” Hidan riled up Deidara. Deidara’s hand twitched towards his clay pouch. “Oh, I f***ing know. you’re not Deidara… you’re his b**** of a sister!”

Deidara snapped and his hand flew into his pouch, when something wrapped around him.

“Do not set off one of your explosives where I’ve got to pay for the damages!” Kakazu’s pissed off voice travelled towards the two. It was his tentacle type things that were wrapped around Deidara to hold him still.

Deidara glared at Kakazu, not caring about pissing him off. “Hidan called my sister a b****! Un!” Deidara shouted, throwing a glare at Hidan. “Emiko isn’t a b****. I didn’t raise her to be one, hmm!”

As Deidara shouted that, three other people walked into the room wondering what the yelling was about. It was the Uchiha, the Shark and the Puppet. Kisame heard Deidara’s last comment and gave Hidan a look. “Emiko isn’t one. She’s a cute little girl… well was. And I thought you liked her?” Kisame asked, alerting everyone who was already in the room of the new comers.

Hidan’s eye twitched. “Just because she was interested in my lord doesn’t mean a f***ing thing. She was 9, and kids are f***ing fickle,” Hidan retorted. “And I did it to piss off the b**** here,” Hidan pointed at Deidara. “It’s bloody amusing.”

“You know that the mini brat is a sensitive subject for the brat,” Sasori replied with his emotionless voice as he stepped away from Itachi and Kisame. “Release him, Kakazu,” Sasori ordered the mister and he headed over to Deidara. Hitting him lightly over the head. “Don’t get riled up so easily.”

Deidara glared at him. “He shouldn’t mention my little sister, actually all of you basta**’s shouldn’t! She isn’t anything to you! Hmm!” Deidara yelled at everyone in the room. Feeling depressed now from missing his sister.

Itachi, knowing the feeling of missing a sibling, nodded once. “Understood,” Deidara’s eyes darted towards Itachi in shock. Did the Uchiha… just try to help him…?

Deidara looked down and opened his mouth to say something when out of the blue; something flew into the room from the door. It flew right at Deidara.

Deidara, being the high class nin that he is dodged to the side. Everyone went on the defence as it flew around Deidara’s head.

“What the hell?!” Kisame shouted his hand on the Samehada.

Itachi’s Sharingan eyes narrowed on it. “It’s like your clay creations, Deidara,” Itachi spoke up and Deidara looked at him in confusion.

“My Art? But I didn’t make this, yah,” Deidara replied and his head looked up at it in confusion. Itachi was right, it does look like one of his clay creatures but he would know if he made this… and it’s not his normal type of bird creature.

Sasori looked at it carefully. “Who else uses this pathetic art?” Sasori spoke up and Deidara tensed.

No one… but Emiko. Emiko! “Emiko!” Deidara shouted and the bird then landed on his head. Deidara’s hands flew up and caught it in his hands. He slowly brought it so it was eye to eye with it. He smirked at it. It was so Emiko’s design. “She found me… my Little Bomber, un,” he muttered, when he noticed the letter in its beak.

He reached to the letter and pulled it out before letting it go. It just found a place to perch. Deidara went to the kitchen table and sat down, his food long away from his mind.

Deidara hurriedly opened the letter… it was blank. Everyone looked over his shoulder… except for Kakazu, he wasn’t interested in it. Not knowing the girl at all.

Hidan laughed. “She forgot to f***ing write the letter.”

Itachi’s Sharingan eyes looked at it and he couldn’t see the words… but he knew it was tampered. Deidara already knew and he pulled out a bit of clay, infusing it with chakra and set it on the letter.

He formed the hand sign and “Katsu!” a small explosion on the letter was let loose. When the smoke dispersed, there was the writing.

Deidara grinned and started to read.

‘Dear Dei-dei!!

Hey, guess what?! This is my own art! It’s called E3, I’ve got another two of my own to. Just want to say that. Before I wrote about other things.

Well, my life’s been busy since I’ve become a ninja. Like really busy. I almost died! Scary I know, right? I almost didn’t go out in a bang. Shocker. I miss you brother. Really I do. Tell your partner that I am not a BRAT! Well, okay, I acted like one once, but I realised my mistake and instead of being a brat, I was a smartass, HA! Go me! Well, the person deserved it. She called me useless when I’m better than her in being a ninja and proved it heaps of times.

Anywho. Today, our sensei told us about the chuunin exams, and said he recommended my team. Oh, you don’t know who my team is, do you? Heh, sorry. It’s Naruto Uzumaki, my best friend, he reminds me of you. Sakura Haruno, the girl I mentioned before. And then, get this Sasuke Uchiha! Itachi’s little brother! Ha! The irony!

Okay, tell Hidan I prefer Jashinism, but I’m not going to be a full one, just one who believes in the Jashin, alright?

Ha! Kisame thinks I was cute then, he should see my pout nowadays! I made Sasuke, one of the emotionless Uchiha crack under it! Ha! Kisame will cry if he saw it now!

Your leader, really? That’s sort of… weird. Well, I’m flattered... I think. Okay, freaked out more than anything. But if I get to be with my brother, I guess I’ll do it. Whatever it is. Heh, I don’t know what your little group does. But whatever.

Say hello to Itachi and he is getting a punch in the face from me for knocking me out with those damned eyes. Then I’m fine with the dude besides the fact he mocks our art, but he should be impressed with my E3 at least. Heh heh.

Hahaha! Funniest thing just happened Dei, I was writing this letter and then some random rain nin turned up and said. ‘heh, genin form Konoha. So weak.’ And I was like, ‘oh, really?’ and then I threw C1 at the guy but then I figured out that chakra was my old sensei from the academy with my scope. Then I lectured HIM! Ha! Then, he basically said it was test. But not in thoses words! I passed of course.

Anyway, my speed is good, no great but my gen jutsu and other nin jutsu besides my art suck! I’m slowly working on my tai jutsu, but I’m not all that used to it yet, but I will. I’m awesome like that. I can walk on trees now and stand on the big clay birds too.

I want to add more, but it seems like I’m almost out of paper. So I miss you, I love you heaps.

Love, your Little Bomber (Emiko even though it’s not my real last name Kin, so Emiko Kin. Hehe I said that yesterday!)’

Everything in the letter was running in his head. His little sister… almost died! His hands clenched tightly. And she’s in the same team as the Uchiha’s basta** brother. Deidara glared over at Itachi who had read over his shoulder.

“Your brother touches a single hair on my sister’s head and not even you could stop me from turning him into my art! Hmm,” Deidara threatened and Itachi’s eyes narrowed at him.

Kisame laughed at the note as well as Deidara’s threat. “Her pout? Is better than before? Heh, she should use it in a fight then,” Kisame snickered and Deidara’s eye twitched.

Sasori slowly smirked. “She knows when she’s being a brat or not? She’s better then you, brat,” Sasori spoke up and Deidara glared at him.

“I am not a brat, un!” Deidara snapped at Sasori and Sasori just smirked at him.

“She’s… going to punch me in the face…?” Itachi muttered and everyone looked at him. “She called the Sharingan the ‘damned eyes’ as well,” Itachi added and Deidara and Kisame both snickered.

“She’s my little sister, of course she’s going to hate those damned eyes, un,” Deidara spoke up and then Deidara remembered what she said. “She almost died… who almost killed her?! She better has turned them into art or I will find them and do it myself, Un!”

Hidan, who was silent for a long while, cheered. “The girl believes in Jashin! What do you say to that, Kaku-F***er?!” Everyone looked at Hidan and Kakuzu, who was trying to ignore his partner. “Come on, you f***ing bet that no one on this Jashin damned world believe in my lord, well, f***ing look! Someone does, so f***ing pay up!”

Everyone eyes widened… even Sasori and Itachi eyes widened a fraction. Hidan… won a bet against Kakuzu… everyone knew that Kakuzu is more protective of his money then Deidara is of his sister… okay, maybe not that far but a close second.

Kakuzu’s hand twitched, ready to punch Hidan when the door opened. Pain and Konan both walked in the kitchen. Pain’s eyes narrowed on everyone. “What is going on?” Pain asked. A threatening aura surrounded him. Even Itachi tensed at the feeling.

Hidan, pushed through it. “the f***ing cross-dressers sister got a letter to him,” Hidan informed his leader.

Pain’s Rinnegan eyes snapped over to Deidara, who was holding the letter. Pain’s eyes narrowed and waved Deidara forward. Deidara listened and then walked over to him, handing him the letter.

Pain looked down at the letter; the bluenette looked over his shoulder and read too. When they both finished, Pain checked that Konan had read it all and she nodded before Pain handed the letter back.

“Interesting, she got a letter sent here without knowing where we are…” Pain stated and he looked back to Deidara. “When you send a letter back, inform her that a place here is ready for her. She will be a great ninja yet. She needs training by the sounds and we can help her better than Konoha can. Also you said that as her kinjutsu was born on her…that she has some… differences, correct?” Pain asked and Deidara tensed.

“Yes, I don’t know how many, un,” Deidara informed him begrudgingly.

Pain nodded. “Ask if she has noticed any difference yet,” and then Pain and Konan both walked out of the room.

Deidara looked at the letter, determination burning in his eyes along with pride of her achievement. Soon, he was going to see her soon. He’d make sure of that…

“Hey, Kakuzu, pay f***ing up!” SMASH!! Well, it seems that Hidan isn’t getting payed anytime soon…

Poor Hidan.

***********************

And the letter arrived!! Everyone was waiting for him to get it and that’s it. So many things were brought up in this chappy. I think hahaha.

I’m not sure if I got everyone’s personality right, but I hope I did… to an extent. Anyways, what did you guys think? Was it a little sad, happy, cute, funny? Any other emotion?

Well, now I think its question time!!!!!!!!

If you guys were Emiko, would you tell Deidara (in a letter!!) that the Iwa nin’s want to kill her and of Orochimaru’s involvement also is there anyone else she should write a letter too in the Akatsuki? (OMJ I got an idea that Emiko can do!! not going to tell though hahaha)

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this chappy, I loved writing it for some reason… probably because of all of the different things that happened in it hahaha.

Any who ( <---- Why isn’t that one word!!) *cough cough* ignore that hahaha. Vote, comment, and follow!! For the art people, for the art!!
