Third Person’s POV

 

 

Sunlight slowly begins to fade from the nearly cloudless sky above, changing from a deep orange to a soft, purple hue. Faint stars begin to twinkle, their shine growing brighter as the sky grows darker.

A cool breeze blows through the evening air, pushing Ashley’s hair back from her face as she watches the scene down below, her arms crossed and her back leaning against a tree trunk.

Her mask pushed back up on the side of her head, Ashley gazes at the battling Leaf Ninja through indifferent eyes, a completely blank look on her face. The bright fuschia orbs flick back and forth subtly in their sockets, keenly observing each and every movement made down on the lake below. Despite watching her former teammates receiving and exchanging blows with the opposing Ninja, the girl doesn’t flinch or react in even the slightest way.

Deidara, squatting down and resting his palms on his bent knees, had been stealing subtle glances at the silent girl since she’d arrived back on the cliff. If she’d noticed the blonde’s cobalt eye fixing on her at any time, she sure hadn’t let on.

Deidara had been trying to figure out what exactly Ashley was thinking, trying to see if any emotions would betray her and reveal themselves in her face, but so far…..nada. The girl may as well be studying a painting on a wall. If she was feeling any conflicting emotions at all, she was hiding them perfectly, and Deidara was a very observant fellow. If she’d so much as twitched, he’d have noticed.

“Uhhhh…..” Tobi begins uncertainly, rubbing the back of his head, “Those Leaf Ninja are trying to seal away the Three Tails again Deidara Senpai. Shouldn’t we go down there and stop them?”

Deidara blinks his eyes and turns his head to frown at Tobi, taking a breath to reply, when he is cut of by a sharp voice.

“They won’t succeed” Ashley says decisively, eyes not straying from the fighting on the lake. “I can sense the Three Tails down there, and it’s putting up one hell of a fight in the Sealing Barrier. It’ll fail, just like the last time.”

“Hm” Deidara smirks, narrowing his visible eye at Ashley slightly, before shrugging a shoulder and also looking back to the lake. “So sure of yourself…..I suppose we’ll take your word for it for now. And besides hm, what would be the point in going down there and alerting them to our presence? As far as they know, you’re the only other person here.”

“The element of surprise is a powerful weapon I suppose…..” Ace speaks up, sighing from his position behind Ashley. “And you are definitely good at surprising people Milady.”

“More like good at dropping bombs on people….” Kai mutters under his breath and rolls his eyes, only to look away as Ashley’s head snaps around. She sends Kai a warning glare, narrowing her eyes at him and scowling with disapproval. She was in no mood for sass from her Wolves, or anyone for that matter.

“No, that would be my specialty” Deidara grins teasingly, tilting his head towards Kai and sending Ashley a meaningful look. “Rebellion in the camp hm?”

“I would never rebel against Milady!” Ace is quick to snap, jumping to his feet and baring his teeth at Deidara. “I will go wherever she goes and do whatever she commands!”
