"G-give it back! Please!" A young Hyuga Hinata cried.

A blonde haired kid was holding up her kite just out of reach. Hinata jumped up desperately to get it back. "…………" he was silent. This… wasn't how I imagined introducing myself would be… He thought. I thought it would be something like…

DEIDARA'S IMAGINATION

"Why hello, miss. My name is Deidara, what's yours?" Deidara said, sparkles surrounding him.

"I-I'm… H-Hinata Hyuga… nice to meet you…!" Hinata said, blushing. Sparkles were also surrounding her.

"Well, well! Nice to meet you, Hinata! I hope you and I will become great friends yeah!" Deidara said, patting her head.

DEIDARA'S IMAGINATION END

BUT HOW'D IT END UP LIKE THIS!? Deidara screamed in his head. There he was, teasing her by keeping her kite away from her.

Hinata started weakly punching Deidara. He held out a hand so Hinata kept punching the air instead. Awww… she's so cute like that… Deidara thought, looking at Hinata. She had her eyes closed, punching aimlessly crying "Give it back you meanie!"

Suddenly, Hinata slipped. "Ahh!" She cried, falling on top of Deidara. "WAH!" Deidara cried in surprise. Hinata fainted instantly. "H-hey…! Are you ok!?" Deidara asked, getting in a sitting position with Hinata in his lap. He blushed. Does she faint this easily!? "U-uh… H-hey! W-wake up!! H-Hinata?" Deidara kept calling her name until this piece of paper flew on his face. "What the…" Deidara read the note.

Dear Hinata,

Me, Neji, Hanabi, and most of the other Hyugas have left on a very long vacation for plot convenience. You are now officially Home alone for the next 3 weeks. Have fun!

From: Father

NEJI: Luv ya! Be safe ok?

HANABI: And try not to get into any fatal accidents ok? Bye!

Deidara stared at the note in disbelief. She's home alone!? Deidara thought. He looked at the note and then Hinata. Well I can't just leave her here… Deidara thought for a moment. Then it hit him. How about I take her home with me and Ino? Sure! With that thought in mind, he carried Hinata bridal style all the way to the Yamanaka Flower shop.


"And that's when it all started. Yeah." Deidara said.

"That's so romantic Deidara-senpai!" Tobi said.

"You brought her home with you?" Sasori asked.

"Yup! And she lived with us for the next 3 weeks!" Deidara said proudly.

"Continue your story senpai!! Pleeease!?" Tobi urged.

"Ok, just shut up Tobi and I'll continue! Ahahahaha!" Deidara said, an unknown hint of annoyance in his voice.


"Brother… who's that?" Ino asked, looking at the sleeping girl in her older brother's arms. "She's Hinata Hyuga… I… I wanted to introduce myself to her… but…" Deidara told Ino everything that happened. "So you brought her home with you? Ahahahaha! Silly older brother!" Ino laughed. "Sh-Shut up! She was home alone! I couldn't just leave her there! Not with how easily she fainted I couldn't! Yeah!" Deidara protested. I'm stuttering more than Hinata does… Deidara thought, blushing.

"What's this? You're blushing big brother!" Ino said, poking his cheek.

"No I'm not! Uh… I-It was a long way from there to here… I'm just… I'm just tired! Yeah! That's it!" Deidara assured. Ino grinned at him. "You're so obvious it's painful… Ok! Well, put her in the guest room. I'll get you some water since you're so 'tired'… hahahahaha…" Ino walked to the kitchen while Deidara took Hinata into the guest room in the back.

He drew the covers up to her chin and sat down in a chair beside the bed. He just stared at her sleeping on the bed. She's cute when she sleeps too…Deidara thought. He put his hand on her forehead and flinched away. SHE HAS A FEVER!! WHERE'D SHE GET A FEVER!? OH MY GOD!! I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!! Deidara thought, looking left and right as if expecting someone to help him.

"Ino!! H-help!! Hinata's… Hinata…!" Deidara was freaking out. "Brother… calm down. Take a deep breath." Ino said. Deidara took one loud breath. "Good. Now tell me what happened." Ino instructed. "H-Hinata-chan is… She has… A Fever! Help her pleaaaaaase!!!" Deidara whined. Ino whacked him on the head. "That's nothing to freak out over!" Ino scolded. "But… But!" Deidara said. Ino held up a finger, making Deidara stop. "I'll take care of this. Don't worry. Just sit down somewhere ok?" Ino said, walking towards Hinata. "Deidara watched nervously as Ino took care of Hinata.

"Why are you so worried? She's not gonna die or something…" Ino said, putting a wet towel on Hinata's forehead. "Just Because…" Deidara trailed off. "Hm?" Ino said. "I uh…. I…" Deidara stammered. "You…?" Ino signaled him to go on. "You like her don't you?" Ino asked. Deidara turned red. "N-no way! W-We just met a-and… We just moved here t-two weeks ago! There's no way!!" Deidara stuttered. "Love finds a way, dear big brother." Ino giggled. "Grr…" Deidara grumbled.


"Wait a second… If you and your little sister moved in two weeks ago… then how did you…?" Tobi asked.

"I saw her outside in her backyard three days after we got settled. You would call it… 'Love at first site' I guess. After that, I started watching her from the trees." Deidara explained, blushing a bit.

"So… you were stalking her…" Tobi said. "NOT STALKING!! WATCHING OVER HER!! YOU KNOW!! MAKING SURE SHE DOESN'T GET HURT!!" Deidara yelled. "While stalking her… tee hee…" Tobi laughed. "WHY YOU-" Deidara fumed.

"Where were your parents?" Sasori cut in.

"Outta town…" Deidara murmured, glaring at Tobi.

"Then… weren't you in the same predicament as her…?" Sasori questioned.

"Well… she was so helpless back then… I mean, she fainted so easily!" Deidara said.

"Anyway… continue… stalker!" Tobi teased.

"TOBI!!" Deidara yelled.


Hinata's eyes fluttered open. "H…Huh…?" She said, sitting up in bed. "Where am I…?" She asked to no one in particular. "Oh! Hinata! You're awake!" Deidara said, walking in. "Who… Who are… you?" She asked. "Oh… my name is… Deidara… yeah." Deidara responded.

Ino walked in. "Oh, she's awake? Hi! I'm Ino!" Ino walked over to the side of the bed. "You're going to be living with us while you're family's gone. Is that okay?" Ino asked, smiling. "Ah! U-um… Th-that's ok! You don't have… to…" Hinata felt dizzy. "Hey! Hinata!" Deidara said. Everything went darker…

For five minutes.

Hinata woke up again, to see that Deidara's face was just inches from hers. "Aah!" She cried. Deidara lifted his head up, blushing. "S-sorry…" Deidara said. "Brother… if you get too close you'll catch something too!" Ino said. "You… don't have to… I can take care of myself…" Hinata said. "Huh? Oh no! We'll do it! We're family!" Ino said. Hinata blushed. "But… you're only ten and nine…" Hinata pointed out. "And you're only eight." Deidara also pointed out. "We may be Nine and eight, but together we're… 10… 11…. " Ino counted her fingers. Please remember that they're still just kids. "19." Deidara finished. "Shut up! I know that! Anyway, we can take care of you!" Ino said. Hinata opened her mouth to protest but Ino put her hand on her mouth. "No arguing! You're staying here! Ok?" Ino said. Hinata slowly nodded. "Good. Deidara, any objections?" Ino asked. Deidara shook his head. "Then it's settled! You're staying with us!" Ino announced.


"…It's like your sister controls you…" Tobi said.

"Tobi, please shut up." Deidara said.

"So… your sister knew… a lot of things didn't she?" Sasori asked.

"Too much if you ask me… I mean, she asked me if I liked Hinata!" Deidara murmured.

"Well… She was right… wasn't she?" Sasori said.

"Mmm yeah…" Deidara said, trying to hide the blush on his cheeks.

"Is there more?" Tobi asked. "Well… I imagine you two getting bored of my childhood story… especially the people reading this…" Deidara replied.

"Oh no, on the contrary! I want to hear every embarrassing detail of your childhood love life." Sasori said, smiling.

"Oh god…" Deidara groaned.


Hinata, who was still sick with that fever of hers, was sleeping in the guest room of the Yamanaka flower shop. Deidara was watching her from the doorway. "What are you doing…?" Ino asked, sneaking up behind him. Deidara didn't answer. "Brother…?" Ino asked, trying to get his attention. "Deidara!" Ino snapped her fingers in front of his face. That didn't work.

Hinata was well aware that Deidara and Ino were watching her. She couldn't sleep. She was just lying there… listening to the constant fuss they made. I don't want to cause so much trouble… and why is Deidara-kun watching me? It makes me… kinda nervous… Hinata thought.

"Dei… dara!" Ino pushed Deidara in the room and locked the door. "Huh!? Ino!! Hey! Unlock the-" Deidara suddenly realized who's room he was in. "Uh…" He turned around slowly, seeing that the girl sleeping in the bed… was wide awake. "H-hello… Hinata… chan…" Deidara said, his hands behind his back, desperately trying to unlock the door. Hinata just stared at him, blushing.

Me… and a boy… in a dark bedroom… ALONE. What have I gotten myself in to? Hinata thought.

Deidara bit his lip. What… what do I do!? I'm in a dark bedroom with a girl in it… ALONE.

He looked at anything but Hinata. He was turning so red, that you would be able to see it through the darkness. Well… Hinata did. "D-Deidara…kun. A-are you blushing…?" Hinata asked, tilting her head slightly. Deidara turned around quickly. Oh god… Am I really blushing that much!? How humiliating! Deidara thought. He slowly turned around again to face Hinata. "U-uhh……… y-yes…?" Deidara mentally slapped myself. What am I doing!?

Hinata gave him a puzzled look. "Why? Did I give you a fever?" She asked. She scooted to one side of the bed. "Do you need to lie down?" She asked, patting the empty spot beside her.

Ino on the other hand… or rather, on the other side of the wall, was listening to everything that was happening. Come on Deidara… She doesn't bite… Ino thought evilly.

Just what are you cooking up Ino? I mean, you're only nine years old!! You're too young to be match making!
