Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Deidara, or any of the other hott characters found in this fanfic
Warning: Yaoi pairing(s) in future chapters, NaruDei
Note: In this story, Naruto and co. are 16, Shippuden age. Deidara and Sasori have already attacked Gaara, but Sakura does NOT kill Sasori. Sasuke decides to rejoin his old team instead of forming a new one to kill Itachi.
Oh...and when Naruto meets Dei, he isn't in his Akatsuki cloak...just to clear that up
Well, just to make sure everyone knows...this is thought (or dream in later chapters) and this is normal
Revenge Gone Awry
Chapter 2
That bastard is going to die. Naruto calmly walked through the forest. As the thought of killing Itachi filled his mind, he wandered aimlessly deeper and deeper into the darkness of the woods until he realized he was thoroughly lost. A single tear rolled down his cheek as the image of his best friend lying dead in his arms popped into his head.
A soft voice rang overhead. "Hey, kid, you okay?"
Naruto's head snapped up, his bright blue eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Nodding slowly, he brought up his hand to wipe his eyes. After a couple seconds of silence, he quietly stammered, "W-who a-a-are you?"
Chuckling lightly, the stranger replied, "Well, just cause you're so cute, you can call me Dei, un." Deidara! he thought to himself. What do you think you're doing!? Comfort the kid, don't flirt with him!!! Jumping down from the branch he was standing on, Dei landed in front of Naruto and reached for his hand. "Come on kid. Let's talk. You look like you need it."
Reluctantly, Naruto took the older man's hand. Only after Dei lightly tugged on his hand did he realize Dei wanted him to follow. Slowly walking behind Dei, he silently noted his lack of ninja band. Glancing down, he watched Dei's long, blonde hair swish back and forth across his lower back, just brushing the top of his tight black jeans.
"Nice ass..." he mumbled quietly to himself, unaware that he actually said that out loud.
"Hmmm? What was that, un?" Dei said, glancing back at the smaller boy.
"O-oh. N-n-nothing!" Naruto choked out, cheeks burning brightly against his tan skin. Oh crap! Did I actually just say that!?
Teehee! He's so cute when he blushes! Dei thought, smirking over his shoulder. I might as well have a little fun with this! "Oh really?" he said aloud, " 'Cause I could have SWORN I heard you say you liked my butt."
Upon hearing this, Naruto's cheeks glowed brighter and his eyes widened. He was now giving off a chibi effect, with bright blue eyes taking up half his face, cheeks a bright pink, hair rumpled slightly from the trees, and chewing on his bottom lip worriedly.
"Hehe. I take that as a 'yes', un." Dei giggled foolishly back at the boy.
KAWAII!! He's cuter than Sasori's baby pictures! Wait! Oh SHIT! He looks like he's gonna cry again!
Sure enough, a couple second after Dei had spoken, Naruto started wiping furiously at his eyes. Despite his joking manner, Dei's heart broke when he saw the tears flowing from the teen's eyes.
Dei quickly pulled Naruto into a hug and started whispering soothingly into his ear. "Shhhh. It's okay. Shhh. I'm sorry for upsetting you."
The two men stood like that for a couple minutes, one sobbing gently into the others shoulder, while the second one whispered soft and consoling words. Soon, the sound of sobbing ceased, and they broke apart awkwardly.
"Hey, kid." Dei began gently, not wanting to upset the poor boy again.
"What's your name, un? I feel bad calling you 'kid' all the time."
Naruto suddenly grinned as he went into his normal speech. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I'm a ninja from Konoha, and I AM going to be the Hokage someday. I am going to surpass all the Hokages that came before me, and nothing is going to stop me!"
Dei laughed heartily at this, removing the pair of black sunglasses he wore to reveal two bright blue eyes that rivaled Naruto's. "Well, Naru-chan. I must say, you got spunk!" What a mood change! I think I could like this kid!
"Hey!" Naruto whined, a pout appearing on his face. "I'm not a girl!!!"
"Well, you're Naru-chan to me, un." Dei stated bluntly, once again holding out his hand. "Come on. I know a nice, quiet place where we can sit and talk."
Naruto grabbed his hand happily and walked beside Dei until they reached a clearing. The forest floor was carpeted with violets and lilacs. Dei and Naruto sat down in the middle of the clearing facing each other, Dei still holding onto Naruto's hand.
Bringing his other hand up to fully cover the hand he was holding, Dei began to talk. "So...care to tell me what got you so worked up back there, Naru-chan?"

(At Akatsuki Base)
Kisame and Sasori paced anxiously around the main room of the base. Kisame looked at Sasori and said worriedly, "I wonder how Deidara's doing with Mission: Gain Kyuubi's Trust."
