It was the time of day when Tobi went to visit his Sempai, Deidara.
"Deidara Sempai! Tobi is hereee!" he shouted whilst vigorously thumping on the dark coloured concrete door. He could hear Deidara groaning as his footsteps shuffled closer to the door. He listened carefully to the metal locks and bolts unwind one by one, seven of them in total. Deidara slowly eased open the thick stone door and stared at Tobi through lazy, unblinking eyes. His usually sleek, neatly combed blonde hair was a tangled bird's nest-like mess that was sticking up in random directions. It was obvious to Tobi that Deidara had just woken up. He stared at Tobi whilst the information of who was at the door sank in; he blinked a few times, then slammed the door in the innocent puppy-like face."Awwwhhhh come on Sempai! Tobi only came to ask you how you aarrrreeee…"
The door creaked open an inch and Deidara peered at Tobi questioningly.
"I'm fine, a little tired, but still. After all, you did just wake me up, un"
Tobi watched Deidara with one shining, apologetic eye,
"Oh my goodness! Tobi is sooooo sorry! Tobi did not mean to do such a thing! Please forgive Tobi!"
Deidara didn't know how to respond to how Tobi had just acted, was that a tiny amount of guilt he felt for making Tobi feel so bad? He had never felt sorry for Tobi before, ever.
"I-it's fine, don't worry about it, un"
he grunted, trying not to let his feelings show on his stern, emotionless face. Tobi's bright eye lit up with happiness and a little squeak of joy crept out from under his mysterious orange mask. "Was there anything else, Tobi?"
Deidara questioned, hoping that Tobi would stop bothering him soon.
"Weeellllll, there is something else I wanted to ask you, if you're not too busy, of course…."
Deidara sighed, not the answer he was hoping for. His inner-self groaned loudly at the thought of having to continue this dragging conversation with Tobi.
"And what might that be, un?"
He enquired, wishing this would be a quick answer. Tobi chuckled sinisterly. He reached inside his dark, heavy Akatsuki trench cloak. Deidara's eyes widened, he could see what Tobi was about to do, he tried to slam the door but his reflexes were still slow and lethargic due to his noisy awakening not too long ago. Deidara watched Tobi as his hand slid out of the inside of his cloak and he whipped out…
A large pack of playing cards.
"Wanna play?"
Tobi cheerfully asked his well-loved Sempai. Deidara couldn't control his emotions and he involuntarily yelled,
"Oh my god! Tobi! For the last fucking time, NO!"
For a few seconds there was no sound, not even nature was making any sound. No birds were singing, no Raccoons were scuffling, nothing. Deidara gave Tobi a vicious glare and he quickly hushed. "If I were you," Deidara murmured, "I'd shut up, right now."
Tobi got the message and stepped back a few inches, letting Deidara know he understood. Deidara swivelled his body so he was completely facing Tobi. "is that everything now?"
He asked. He didn't really care what the answer was, whatever Tobi said, the door was getting shut anyway. Tobi hummed thoughtfully and tapped his foot to a catchy rhythm for at least three seconds until Deidara couldn't take any more and slammed the door right in Tobi's face. After the door had shut and he had heard Deidara walk away, Tobi tilted his head down, shoved the cards back into his pocket angrily and let out a low, disturbing grumble.
"I do live here, too, sempai." he hissed through his teeth. He slammed his right hand against the door leaving minature cracks around his hand. He dragged the door open and slammed it shut behind him.
Deidara turned around to face the inside of the Akatsuki base he and the other members of the Akatsuki called home. Itachi and Kisame were in the kitchen. Itachi was routing in the oversized metal fridge-freezer, looking for something appropriate to match the Ham on his sandwich. Deidara rolled his eyes, "try Cheese jackass."
Itachi snapped his fingers, grabbed the cheese from the top compartment of the fridge and turned to Deidara,
"Thanks, dickweed."
There was a brief exchange of dirty looks before Itachi's attention was returned to his sandwich. Kisame was sat at the breakfast bar murmuring something about a dare game to himself.
Meanwhile, the resident Jashinist, Hidan, and his money loving accomplace, Kakazu were on an assasination mission for Pein.
They had been sent deep into the forest of the Hidden village of the Hot Springs. A certain someone knew too much.
Among the tall trees they spotted a small house, only big enough to have one bedroom. The house had a faded blue painted door with chips of paint flaking off in many places, white bricks on the outside and a slate roof. The door was framed with a once white painted wooden frame, but with time the seasons had gotten to it and the paint had peeled off completely, leaving three planks of chipped-away wood around a small, dirty blue door. The windows were so discoloured from age and ill-keeping that they could hardly see through them, but from what they could see, it was empty.
"Deserted," Kakazu mumbled.
"Sure looks that way. So, we resting here tonight?" Hidan questioned.
"Sure, why not ehy? Doesn't look like anyone's using it." Kakazu replied. They walked closer to the small, thatched house and Kakazu motioned like he was ready to kick the door down.
"Its okay, I got this one," Hidan said whilst tapping him lightly on the shoulder. He raised his leg and kicked the door hard. It shot open and left a small cloud of dust at the ninja's feet. Hidan and Kakuzu walked into the tiny, dirty house each step in sync. Near the middle of the floor lay a single mattress with a turquoise sleeping bag thrown over it. Kakuzu flopped himself onto the mattress whilst Hidan sat neatly on the end. There was a sudden creek in the next room and both ninja's shot up and faced the direction the noise came from. The next few seconds were filled silence. The seconds ticked by slowly; Hidan and Kakuzu looked at eachother with scared eyes. Another slight creeking sound came from the other room just as the heavy wooden door flew open.
