Deidara clambered out
of the yellow taxi and onto the cracked side walk in front of 33
Akatsuki blvd., Amegakure.
"Um 'mam, you should get out of
the rain…" the white haired cab driver then mumbled, "and
those clothes."
"WHAT!?!" Deidara screamed at the
taxi driver,
"Before you catch a cold." He quickly
covered giving Deidara, what seemed to be, his trademark lecherous
smirk. 'Uck, I am a fricken guy you perv!!!' Deidara mentally
screamed at him, but instead he grabbed his bags from the trunk, and
then forcefully slammed it making the whole car shake. Deidara paid
him (no tip) and made sure he was out of sight before he turned and
took a good look at the apartment building that would be his new home
for at least the next school year.
The building was a disgustingly
faded green that had literally been washed away by the rain.
"Dang,
Katsuko-chan wasn't kidding when she said it rained buckets here,
un." He mumbled to himself. Taking an instant to fondly remember
his girlfriend back home in Iwagakure. Deidara took a moment to
examine the architecture hoping it would redeem the place, it didn't.
The building itself was nothing special except for the fact that it
obviously sagged in several places "hn now that's safe,
un." Deidara mumbled sarcastically. Deidara
picked up his stuff and headed inside
A now soaking wet Deidara
walked into the 'just as ugly as everything else here' lobby. And
walked up to the counter where some orange haired guy was engrossed
in his magazine. "Ehem, um I am Deidara Katsu I am supposed to
be… HOLLY COW YOUR FACE it's… it's …"
"pierced"
the orange haired boy set down his porno magazine and finished the
sentence for the blonde.
"But isn't that a bit much!"
Deidara gawked at the strange boy who had 3 sets of piercings that
seemed to (and probably did) go through his nose to the other side,
then to fang-like piercings under his bottom lip, then finally (from
what Deidara could see) both his eyebrows were pierced
TWICE!!!
"aww shoot, Deidara you ain't seen
nothing yet! I got like 30 more. By the way, name's Pein!" Pein
laughed hysterically, and Deidara suddenly felt really uneasy around
the other teen, but he put on a good face.
"Um nice to meet
you, un I'm Deidara I'm supposed to be moving in…un." Pein
stopped giggling and looked very serious
"oh so you're the
'Deidara' my dad's been going on and on about!" Pein kept that
insane grin on his face,
"your dad talks about me, un?"
Deidara squeaked slightly disturbed by this new information. Peins'
expression suddenly shifted from giddy to curious.
"Hey how
come you keep saying that?"
"what, un?"
"that!"
Pein shouted, obviously thinking being louder will make the poor
confused blonde understand.
"I don't understand!" the
frustrated blonde shouted back. Pein sighed and said in a voice
usually reserved for explaining things to a kindergartener,
"you
keep saying 'un' at the end of your sentence." He sighed and was
about to pick up his playboy again.
"oh that…well, un…it's
a speech impediment. I've always had it, un" Deidara tried to
explain sounding almost shameful about it. Pein didn't want to but he
felt bad about depressing the animated artist, so he decided to
change the topic.
"so yeah my old man he says your real
smart, ya know getting scholarships, and all… he said I could get
'em too. That is if I gave two cents about my studies, but I don't so
I don't, ya dig." Pein said trying (and failing) to sound smart.
Deidara nodded, even though he had no clue what the orange haired boy
had just said. Just then a punk rock version of "Milkshakes"
starts blaring from seemingly nowhere. Both Pein and Deidara jump,
for different reasons, one because he was scared and the other
because his back pocket was vibrating. He grabs his phone and answers
it. "Pein… oh hey babe…no actually I'm moving in a new guy…
yeah he's probably 'tachi's age, don't really know… kk text you
later….yeah love you to bye konan." With that he hung up.
"heh-heh chicks right" he said to Deidara who had been
listening to Peins conversation and understanding very little of it.
Pein claps and says, "okay, lets get you moved in." then he
picks up a couple of the other mans bags while Deidara picks up the
case with his art supplies, and his guitar case.
On their way up
the stairs the teens made small talk. And by the time they reached
Deidara's room he had learned that Pein had a girlfriend named konan
that Itachi was one of his friends that is in Deidara's grade and
that Pein and his siblings are the only staff this place has. Their
dad owns the building and Pein and his 6 brothers. Pein, Dein, Rein,
Kein, Bein, and Zein are sextuplets and then he has an older brother
named Nagato. It's (as Pein describes it) "a lot of work without
a lot of pay."
They stepped inside Deidara thought he might
faint. The room was disgusting with its faded floral wallpaper,
old-lady-ish furniture, and the distinct smell of mildew. Deidara was
trying really hard to finding something to say about it, considering
Mr. Rokudou was nice enough to let him stay here for (practically)
free. "it sucks!" Pein accurately summed up. "don't
worry, dei-chan, I will help you redecorate…" 'ok first of all
dei-chan?!? And second of all, that was really nice of him' Deidara
thought…well until Pein finished with "… as soon as you get
enough cash." 'erk… curse him' Deidara thought, and the look
on his face must have said that because Pein nearly fell over
laughing.
"WHAT, UN!?!" Deidara cried
infuriated
"your…hahaha…face…bwahahaha!" Pein said
with noticeable difficulty.
"whatever, thanks for helping
with my stuff…" Deidara huffed, he was more than ready for the
pierced boy to leave,
"kk, but be ready tomorrow morning."
"what! WHY!?!" Deidara almost screamed, he had been
hoping to avoid the orange haired freak
"haha, don't sound
too excited. I am gonna take you to school." Pein giggled.
"Oh
right…school" Deidara sighed as Pein left. When he was gone
Deidara kind of missed his company. "RAWRG!" he shouted at
no one and turned to find something to burn, but he stopped and sat
down and began the breathing exercises that his counselor taught him.
In, 2, 3, 4, hold, 2, 3, 4, out, 2, 3, 4. they were stupid but they
helped him think strait enough, so he didn't light anything on fire.
"god if I had just one, one match, one bomb I'd be free…heh
that kinda sounds good." Deidara grabbed his guitar and started
to write a new song.
