A/N: This is a random thing I wrote in my mind as I thought about my favourite characters in the Akatsuki; Itachi, Deidara, Hidan (and Tobi)! It was a random idea.

"Speaking", thoughts that aren't straight out 'I did this', like prayers.

{Author's notes. Random bits of info.}

Deidara's POV... A Sister's Love.

"Wait up, Ane-san {A/N: older sister, for those that don't know}. I can't keep up, un!" I cried, desperate to keep up with my sister. I hated being weaker than her, she'd tease me endlessly. "Kana! Seriously, un! I can't keep up, un! Wait...! Un..." I whine, knowing that that would make her pay attention.

"I'm sorry Dei. I just wanna get to Iwa before sun down! Kain is supposed to be there!" Kana walked back to me, she was desperate to see her boyfriend after two days without his hugs or kisses. "Are you okay Dei? What's wrong?" My sister could see the blood running from my mouth palms. "What's wrong?" She asks again.

"My... my hands are aching, un. It hurts, yeah. Everywhere is sore, un. We've been walking for two hours! I need a break, un!" I was ten! What could she expect! I was a weak ninja, I used clay birds to fly around but I'd run out of clay... yesterday.

"Can you still walk? I can carry you on my back." It was true, she could. She was six years older than me. She was sixteen, dating the 'hottest' boy in the Iwa area, and a female ninja. "Hey... do you sense someone nearby?"

I just nodded as I heard the ninja creep up behind us. "Hey, pretty... if you don't do what we say, I'll slit your fucking pretty throat and sacrifice you to Jashin." I turned and looked at the silver-hair boy who held my sister in a chokehold. "Listen fucking carefully. Fuck, I really hate to repeat myself so... well, just fucking listen." He leant closer and whispered in my sister's ear. Her eyes widen and she tried to hide the muffled sob that escaped her lips. "So... what do you say, fuckwit?" I saw another man behind him. I'd heard of the boy, Itachi Uchiha... he was the one who had killed his entire clan except his little brother, scarring the boy for life. "Itachi... what the fuck you think. If she says no, we kill them both? That would make Jashin very, very fucking happy."

"I say, 'hurry the hell up!' Pein's going to kill us if we don't get back soon. Hidan-sama! It's too hot for sacrificing." I agreed with the Uchiha but stayed silent. It was better to be seen, and never heard. My father had drilled that into me from a very young age. If I spoke without being spoken to first, I'd be hit very hard. "Let's go!"

"Well?" 'Hidan-sama' was very intimidating, but Kana still shook her head defiantly. "Oh fucking well." 'Hidan-sama' raised the three-bladed scythe to Kana's throat and I fell to my knees. This was getting really bad. Kana, un!

Sorry Father, un. I've lost you and Mother; I don't want to lose her too, un. The bomb wasn't meant to kill Mother, un. I knew tears were streaking my cheeks as I sank into the hot sand. "Don't hurt her, un! I'll do anything... just don't hurt her, un!" I begged, my knees getting burnt from the grains of sand in my legs.

"Hah, hear that Itachi. This boy is fucking smart. You're fucking lucky you've got such an intelligent brother. He's a fucking smart guy. Are you telling me the truth? Will you do fucking anything?" He turned on me, his question surprising me. No one had ever asked me if I meant what I said. Damn it, no one even cared if I even spoke.

I nodded, worried that if I spoke I'd start to cry or something weak like that.

"Baka! You fell for their trap! They want you. All because of your stupid explosions! I told you! I told you that criminals would get the wrong idea! You really are stupid!" I winced at my sister's words, but the fact that my mucking around with my bombs caused this confrontation didn't surprise me. I'd felt eyes on me as I blew the targets into smithereens. "You swore that you wouldn't blow crap up! What were you doing, being a delusional dipshit like this!"

Ouch... that was hurtful. All of Iwa knew I prided myself in the huge explosions that the clay made. I was a little weird, yeah, but it was my art. Art was a bang with me. All of the colours... all of the noise, it lasted a few seconds, but in my opinion; that's all art ever lasts. "Don't diss the explosions, un! They are the very basis of life. Life flashes by, isn't that what Dad used to say, un? So does the beauty and fire of an explosion, un! I was practising my aim! I hit every target, un! It's not just art; it's a weapon, un!"

"Heh, Sasori would love him... art is a lifetime of awesomeness in his case. They'd have nice long arguments about this!" Itachi grinned at his master, laughing. "What do you think senpai?"

"Uhhh... the little fucking Uchiha prodigy has to confuse a fucking immortal! Why can't you be dumb like fucking Tobi! It'd be a fucking lot easier on me!" Hidan was complaining, and, by Itachi's reaction, this Tobi must be dumb!

"If I was as dumb as Tobi, I wouldn't be the Uchiha prodigy. I like outwitting you, it's funny. Tobi is a real idiot; I'm offended that you think I could ever be as dumb as that!" Itachi Uchiha glared at the huge man, hate in his eyes and voice. Whoa, those two didn't get along very well.

"If you were so fucking eager to get back, maybe you would've killed the fucking sister and just fucking abducted the kid, but no. Itachi Uchiha had to involve a fucking plan other than hacking everyone up!" Hidan mused as the Uchiha freed the sister. Hidan took over, pressing the edge of his scythe to my sister's throat. "Don't tell anyone you saw us, is that fucking clear enough?"

"I swear, Deidara. One day I'll free you. I'll kill these two, and I'll get you back. I'll look for you. Never forget a sister's love! It is a blessing and a curse! I love you, my ototou {A/N: little brother...}. I'll look for you. I'll never stop looking! Until the day I die!" my sister's voice faded off as she ran, ran to Kain, and ran to safety. Finally, she was safe... now, for the harder part.

"Hey, you got any clay, un? I am sick and tired of walking, un." I asked Hidan, not really expecting anything.

"Actually, we do. We bought it as a bribe. We didn't need it, but what do you want to do with it? If you intend to blow us up, forget it." Itachi answered for his senpai. "Well, speak up!"

"Uh... no, un. I intend to make a bird that'll fly me around, un. I can make three... if you want, un?" I phrased it like a question, scared about the answer. Would they fear me? Hidan grunted, flicking a lump of clay at me.

"Three... two?" Itachi murmured. "Two. One has to bigger. I'll ride with you. That way you can't fly away." Itachi was very suspicious of me. "Is that possible?" ah hah! Uchiha wasn't very confident in my art. I'd show him. "Bloody hell... its clay! What do you expect from me Hidan! I hate flying! It's not right. If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings!"

"I've made ten people fly on one bird, un. I just have to make the size and chakra different, un! It's okay with Hidan alone, but I need to control both... that's the hard bit... un."

"Just hurry the fuck up! For Jashin's sake! I need to fucking report that we have a new member. Pein will fucking jump for joy." Hidan growled.

I quickly let me hands run over the clay. "Holy shit, un! This is the best clay around, un! Man, how did you afford that, un?" I asked as I moulded the clay into the shape of birds. One was a bigger bird and the other one was rather small.

"How the fuck are we supposed to fly on those things?" As Hidan spoke, my creations doubled in size. "That's how." Hidan answered his own question.
