"Hey." ...

"Hey Dei.". ...

"Hey Dei-chan.". ...

"DEIDARA WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!"

I growled and rolled out of bed tackling my little sister to the ground. Madisun giggled and stuck her tongue out at me, gasping for breath through giggles and her now smushed rib cage. I sat up and looked down at her laughing. It really was a shame that she was a year younger than me. If she was 16 too we could be twins. With her vibrant blonde hair, blue eyes, and tan skin she was mine and my mother's spitting image. Of course, I only knew that from pictures...

I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I? My name is Deidara. I'm 16 years old. I attend Shinobi High as a Junior with my little sister who is a Sophomore. I live with Madisun and our crazy, absent-minded foster father. My real father died in a war long ago and my mother just lost a courageous battle with cancer.

Yeah, my life pretty much sucks. But I mean Iruka is a pretty cool foster father, and I'll always have Madisun. And I'll always have my gang.

That's right people, Konoha's finest; Akatsuki. I'm a member of the Konoha branch with some really cool people. Hidan, Kakuzu, Itatchi, Kisame, Pein, Konan, and Sasori make up the rest of our group.

Okay, back to my day...

"Get off fattie!" Madisun squealed. My jaw dropped in mock horror and I rolled off her and turned my skinny body away childishly. Madisun rolled her eyes and began walking out the door.

I sighed heavily when I caught sight of her fishnet tights, black and red plaid miniskirt, black belly shirt and offending accessories. Madisun was such a good kid a few years ago. But now she was forcing herself to change. To grow up faster than she needed to and as her big brother I was hurting for her.

I wanted so badly to stop her and dress her in decent clothes but Iruka had warned me that if I tried to stop her she would only rebel more and start to distance herself from me. And if I ever lost her I have no idea what I'd do. Iruka may be a bit forgetful but he's a smart and pretty chill dude.

"Time for hell, un?" I grumbled pulling myself to my feet and dressing in skinny jeans and a t-shirt. Before you judge me on the skinny jeans, yes. I'm gay. So glad we got that out of the way, aren't you?

I ate breakfast and at 8:00 sharp Madisun and I were climbing into Sasori's huge SUV. He definitely needed such a big car! In it were all 8 of us Konoha Akatsuki members accompanied by Madisun, Itatchi's brother Sasuke, and Pein's brother Naruto. Sasuke and Naruto were

Madisun's age and the 3 of them had been close for as long as any of us can remember. Of course, it's the same way with all of us. We've been a tight-knit crew from day one. We're a family. The gang is just a bonus!

Oh I should also probably get out of the way that the 3 younger siblings are Akatsuki hopefuls. I am definitely NOT thrilled with the idea of the already rebellious Madisun joining my gang! I know that Uchiha brat is influencing her the wrong way... As if reading my mind, when Madisun climbed into the car Sasuke instinctively grabbed her around the waist and plopped her into his lap.

I growled quietly and Sasuke smirked.

"Something wrong? Dei-chan." The little brat teased. I just about lunged at the boy when a calm voice did more than I could've done...

"Sasuke. Enough." Itatchi's calm voice commanded. Sasuke stiffened for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and busying himself playing with Madisun's hair. I still wasn't pleased at all! Hidan laughed loudly.

"Aw man Deidara, Sasuke just bitched you out motherfucker!" he chuckled. Madisun blushed and I scowled raising a fist. Hidan rose to meet my challenge but Kakuzu put his arms around the smaller man and held him. Hidan immediately forgot all about me as he nuzzled into Kakuzu's chest.

"Whipped, un..." I muttered earning a glare from Kakuzu.

Yeah. We're almost all gay. Itatchi and Kisame are together, Hidan and Kakuzu, and Naruto is dating another Sophomore Akatsuki hopeful named Kiba. The only straight people I know are Konan and Pein who are a couple, and Madisun and Sasuke who are NOT a couple! Not as long as I'm alive and kicking!

I'm gay and I'm pretty sure Sasori no Danna is too. But he's not the type that would tell you unless it concerned you. To Sasori, the whole world is on a need-to-know basis.

I hopped into the passenger's seat and Sasori nodded his head to acknowledge me.

"Better playing with her hair than... anything else." he commented, watching the backseat scene in the rearview mirror. I snorted.

"He'd be a dead man un." I promised. Sasori smirked and pulled away from my house towards the Devil's lair... High school.
