And there she was. A new Akatsuki member. Suki never imagined she would end up as a criminal. A week ago she was an ANBU agent still. But, hey, gotta roll with it. She must.

Yesterday Deidara told her, that the Akatsuki are considered S-Rank missing or rogue ninjas. He said she should consider that cool because S-rank ninjas are feared and powerful. She will have to get used to the villagers and normal non-nin people being scared of her.

It's been five days since she got her cloak. She hasn't done a lot, just sat on her bed in Deidara's room, played on her guitar and wrote lyrics. Pain told her that when he'll need Suki, he'll send someone to tell her.

She misses her band. She and her teammates in the ANBU were a band, Kakashi was the only one who wasn't a part of Behind the Mask. That was the band's name. The Hokage didn't mind their musical successes. He used to give them missions where they having concerts gave them big advantages. The team didn't know why, but the criminals and the people who they needed to find always showed up at their gigs.

Suki woke up feeling energized. Well, there was nothing to do that could have worn her out, so she did some push ups and sit ups by her bed, then started writing in her journal. She always does, even if there is nothing interesting to write down. But I guess, it will be nice to keep track of time. It's 63ME, who knows how long she'll be there. And also, it's something to Suki can do in these boring days alone. She doesn't know how even if she wakes up early, Deidara is always gone in the morning, and shows up later in the afternoon and tells her he had business to do.

Tobi sometimes showed up to play this weird card game with Suki, they didn't talk about anything in general, just about the game, or he'd sometimes blurt something out about Suki being sweet, letting him win or how pretty she looks when she's losing.

But other than that, Suki was just journaling and songwriting.

„Tripping over myself, aching, begging you to come help... and now that I'm without you, darling.." She sang along to the music She was playing on her guitar. „No, that's not it... and now that I'm without you... "

„Maybe try.. hm... I'm without your kisses?" Suki looked up at Deidara standing in the doorway with that cheeky smile on his lips.

„How long have you been there?" She asked raising one of her eyebrows. He closed the door, and fell onto his bed into a sitting position, „Enough to hear that you have a beautiful voice, Suki-chan."

The girl smiled and made her shoulders jump indicating that it doesn't really matter. So he continued. „I'm just about to go out and train a little. Wanna join, hm?"

„Su...ki...chan...you're..really..quick...hm!.. woah!" Deidara said between my punches and kicks. He had a hard time blocking all of them, but he managed.

„And I'm not giving my all, Dei!" Suki exclaimed, jumping back a couple of feet.

„It's time to do so, hm!" He said, and quickly dug his hands into the bag tied around his hips. Then threw little white birds at his new friend, and as if the clay creatures came alive they started following her every time  she jumped out of the way.

„Water Style: Fish Spit!" Suki said quietly while making hand-signs, then shot a huge jet of water from her mouth at Deidara's birds. The water forced the birds to hit the ground, which made them explode.

Dei raised his eyebrows and dug his hand back once more, but he was slow. The next moment Suki was right at his feet, kicking him into the air, then jumped right after him punching him in the jaw a couple more times.
