Pein sighed as he made his way to Deidara's room with the newest Akatsuki memeber bouncing along behind him and humming cheerfully.

'I thought I told him to be quiet... Maybe I was wrong to have Deidara be his mentor.. I don't know if he'll have the patience for this..' He thought to himself.

Once they made it to the bomber's door, Pein knocked on it and after a few moments, Deidara opened the door. "He's here, hn?"

Pein nodded and turned to the man who was busy looking at a picture on the wall a little down the hall. "Tobi, get over here."

Deidara blinked as the man jumped slightly and ran over to catch up with Pein, before waving with extreme enthusiasm to him. "HIIIIIII!"

He had already been given an Akatsuki cloak to wear, though had a few extra, personal articles of clothing. He had black gloves that covered what the cloak wouldn't have of his arms, as well as a black undershirt that hid his neck, and finally a swirled, orange mask with only one eye hole. He had no skin visible, only his hair and right eye wasn't hidden.

Deidara wasn't quite sure what to make of him, mostly taken by surprise by his high energy and friendly aura.

'He is aware what the Akatsuki are right..? He doesn't seem even close to the kind of person who would want to be a part of this...'

Pein sighed. "Tobi, this is Deidara. Deidara, Tobi." He introduced.

Tobi beamed at the blonde. "It's great to meet you!"

"I... guess so, hn..." Deidara replied hesitantly.

Tobi squealed happily and suddenly hugged him, catching him even more off guard.

"H-Hey..! Hands off, hn..!" Deidara snapped, shoving him away.

"Tobi's sorry, senpai!"

'Senpai..? What the hell is with him..?'

Pein just smiled. "I'll let you two get better acquainted. Feel free to introduce him to the others once he's more comfortable here."

'That bastard... He's leaving me to deal with him...' Deidara thought in annoyance, though he held his tongue as Pein walked away.

"Oi senpai! What's this?" Tobi asked.

Deidara groaned and turned to face him, though froze when he realized his masked apprentice had somehow slipped past him and into his room, and was now poking at the bomber's newest sculpture.

"Get away from there, hn!" Deidara yelled.

Tobi blinked and looked over at him, though the still wet clay of the sculpture's wing had been disturbed and the whole piece fell to the floor with a dull thud.

Deidara's jaw dropped in horror. The piece's weight was unbalanced with the loss of the wing and the entire clay dragon toppled over on its side.

'That was a week's worth of work... It's all ruined...'

"TOBI!"

AN: Well, that's all for now, I'll try to have part 2 out soon. Hope you like it! (Sorry for such short chapters, I'm writing on my DS which has a character limit I have to be aware of when writing-)
