A/N: Why hello there! I'm no other than XxAnimeandBookLoverxX, it's a pleasure to meet you all! This is my second Naruto fanfic, but it focuses on one of my mixed couples: Ino and Deidara. I know it's a really unexpected couple, but it's the only one out of the three couples that I'm fond of. FYI, the others were InoXSai and InoXChoji. Well, I hope you guys enjoy this. Please comment/review below.

Summary: Deidara and Tobi have been sent out on a mission. Not to find a jinjuriki, but to find a girl in the Hidden Leaf Village. This girl is no other than Ino Yamanaka. The Akatsuki desire her abilities to gather information about jinjuriki, but she's also desired by one of the members of the Akatsuki: Deidara. Ever since he's captured her and was assigned her partner, his feelings have been blooming for her ever since. But Ino doesn't feel the same way. She misses her home, her family, her friends, and her life. But her feelings start developing for him, too. But what will Ino do? She's already in the Akatsuki and betrayed her village, so how far will she go to betray her village more by falling in love with a traitor?

Note: This takes place after Team Ten, Kakashi, and Naruto kill Hidan and Kakuzu.
