Deidara woke up the next morning with his head resting on someone's lap. He slowly opened his eyes to see sad raven eyes looking down at him. Deidara looked away not wanting to look at Sasuke. He knew it would lead to a lecture.

"…….thank you"

Deidara was taken back by this. He was expecting a lecture on why he should have just left it alone.

"…….no problem" said Deidara as he quickly got up and went into the bathroom.

He closed the door and started the shower. He took off his dirty clothes and stepped in. He quickly washed his hair and body and got out. He quickly dried himself off and slipped on his boxers, a pair of loose black jeans, a skin tight black shirt, and some black sneakers. He blow dried his hair and put it up some of it in his trademark ponytail. He proceeded with the rest of his routine like brushing his teeth and all that hygenic stuff. After he was done he looked in the mirror and noticed a bluish bruise where Itachi had slapped him. He scowled at himself and walked out to see Sasuke still sitting on his bed.

"Can we at least talk about it???" asked Sasuke

"No. I don't want to talk about it. Not now not ever" said Deidara as he walked out of his room, down the stairs, and out the door.

He pulled out the piece of paper Konan gave him and headed for the address written. As he got closer he noticed that he was in……well……not the best part of town. As he was walking he noticed some young men following him. They were older than him but in their mid twenties and by the way they walked Deidara knew they were drunk. Although he was in a bad part of town he thought it was weird for them to be drunk in the late morning.

He noticed them getting closer and started to run.

"Aw come on hun!!!!" yelled one of the drunken men as they started chasing Deidara.

Deidara was suddenly pulled into an alley. He was thrown out of the way and the person that pulled him suddenly turned around punched one of the drunken men square in the face.

"Screw off drunk this ass is mine" said the person

The drunken man scowled but got up and ran off with his friends following close behind.

The person started to walk away when Deidara noticed it was Sasori.

"Hey Sasori wa____!!!!"

"Shut up" said the red head not turning around.

Deidara gave him a confused look.

"You spoiled little brat. You can't even defend yourself against drunkards. You have life so easy don't you????" said Sasori venomously

Deidara was taken aback. He wanted to scream and tell him how his life was probably shittier than his but he kept his mouth shut.

"……Konan's house is this way" said Sasori in an icey tone.

Deidara nodded and followed.

Sasori's thoughts

"Damn blonde!!!!! I was so good at keeping my emotions in until now!!!!!!! Now HE comes and all that changes!?!?!?! Why??????? And what's with him not yelling back or defending himself against what I said??????? Why is there a huge bruise on his face?????? Why am I so screwed up around him??????" thought a now agitated Sasori.

Normal

They arrived at a small apartment complex. Deidara followed Sasori into one of the little buildings and into one of the apartments.

Sasori suddenly stepped out of the way and Deidara was greeted with a bone crushing hug.

"Deidei!!!!!!!!!!!" cried Konan.

"It's nice to see you to Konan" said Deidara as he tried to get his face out of her chest.

Pein pulled Konan away allowing Deidara to breath. He immediately felt akward since everyone was staring at him.

He avoided Sasori's gaze at all costs but everyone else seemed to be studying him
