The Nine Sins
Notes: The inspiration for the first paragraph actually came to me at 3:45am right before I fell asleep so I forced myself awake and scribbled it down and then went to bed. I also have posted a poll on my profile that I think you(whoever is actually reading this) should check out since it has to do with how often I update this story.
---------------------
The first thing Deidara had said when he met her was 'damn, she'd make an awesome art work, yeah'. Kagome, being the ignorant person she was, at the time was flattered instead of wondering why someone who specialized in blowing stuff up thought she'd make good art.
But Kagome had gotten used to his little-well, not so little - quirks. Like the mouths on the hands and chest; or the fact that everything in his mind that he saw was graded by a meticulous scale of how big a boom it would make if he blew it up. She actually enjoyed spending time with him.
Most people would call what Kagome had with the Akatuski Stockholm Syndrome; she preferred to think of it as making friends.
"Kagome-san you need to hurry up otherwise Tobi will miss the fireworks!" Speaking of friends, she was currently being dragged down the Akatuski HQ's many hallways by one.
"Tobi, I'm running in what are quite possibly the scariest fucking pair of heels ever. So don't you dare tell me to hurry up!" Kagome's ankles hurt already and she had only just recently put the heels on.
God give me strength… on second thought, god please kill me.
Suddenly they burst out of the Akatuski compound and into the wide clearing that ringed the whole building. And as if on queue, dozens of fireworks repeatedly shot into the sky and exploded into brilliant colours. Tobi, catching sight of Deidara quickly relocated to some place where he could watch the fireworks safely. Both the ones in the air and on the ground. Without a second thought he abandoned Kagome to Deidara's abominable presence.
Giving a cocky smirk as though he already new the answer Deidara asked, "Did you like the first round of fire works?"
Forcing herself not to spit in Deidara's eye Kagome said with a huge amount of restraint, "Actually, I thought they where incredibly lacking. After all shouldn't an explosives master be able to make more vibrant colours?"
Deidara actually looked hurt; and coming from an Akatuski, that was rare. With an insulted and wounded look on his face he turned away from Kagome. But not before saying, "Then I guess I can't ask you to enjoy the rest of the night then, since I'm sure you're already wishing to be back in your room."
Kagome flinched at the intentional jab but said nothing as the next volley of fireworks rocketed into the sky and upon exploding magnificently shimmering into nothing in the night sky. She watched in silence and growing awe as each round grew more and more intricate and intense. They reminded her of pinwheels spinning in the breeze from the way the explosions seemed to swirl before they faded into nothing.
Suddenly Tobi appeared out of nowhere and with a start Kagome realized that the show was actually over and they were the last people outside. Tobi with an impatient gesture for Kagome to follow set of towards the compound. Kagome did so obediently- and gingerly because of her heels- but as she passed Deidara she felt the need to correct her mistake or at least make it better.
"That art was a bang." It was no more than a whisper but Deidara heard it as clear as day and in an instant his bad mood disappeared and was replaced with a triumphant expression. And as Kagome walked away he turned with a slightly lecherous grin on his face and threw one last comment at her.
"Sometime I have to show you what real art is."

Lol, I couldn't resist adding that last part in. Tell me what you think before I die of lack of…. Dunno what I would die of but I'm sure it will be horrible and awful and it will make all of you who didn't correspond feel guilty. But anyways hope you enjoyed it!
