"Ya' home! I missed you Senpaaaai!"

There was a loud curse and a bit of wrestling between the pair of males before they fell to the ground. Deidara shot his friend a harsh glare before it lightened and he lightly ruffled up his friend's dark locks. He was only gone the afternoon, but he got this response when he was only gone for ten minutes, really this kid was something else. After a moment he shoved the boy off, grabbing up his items he dropped and moving them to the small table then had in the home. He looked up at his friend, grinning happily to him. "I got some good stuff this time.. check it, loaded wallet this time" He lifted the wallet and dumped the contents on to the table surface.

Tobi watched eagerly beside him, his eyes wide as he gazed over all the items with a childish glee in his eyes. "Oh damn Sempai, you got lots this time!" The boy quickly plucked up some of the money, folding it before he started to look around the room for the tin they hid the cash in. Deidara glanced at the boy only once before focusing back on the items on the table. There were many things, but the one that caught his eyes most was the girl's student ID. It was interesting the picture; this young girl had quite the look to her. Deidara wasn't usually into the chicks with dyed hair, but this one seemed to do it very well. Her hair was a soft shade of pink, and not that obnoxious neon, but more a sweet cheery blossom shade. It was cut short though, the locks falling past her chin but not enough to brush her shoulders. It was her eyes that caught him the most though. Those green eyes, they were almost turquoise, they suited her wonderfully. So bright, they compared with her perky smiles and the bold look in them made him think back to their own meeting. They only spoke for brief moments, but yes, he greatly approved of this girl's appearance.

Tobi leaned against the boy's shoulder, smiling lightly as he looks up at Deidara. "She is really pretty Sempai, I guess she takes after her mothers." The boy received a confused look, and he returned one as well. "what? She looks like her mother! She's always in the papers.." To prove his point, Tobi found a paper and placed it before the boy, pointing to the article about the Mayor. The man's last name was that of the ID card. "He has a daughter our age, so that must be her.. ya' are really risky Sempai!"

Deidara only gave a light nod at Tobi spoke, distracted by his thoughts. That was really the Mayor's daughter? That fact was very interesting, and it made a plan start to blossom in Deidara's mind. With a think smirk, he plucked up the wallet and gazed over at Tobi with his widely mischief smile. The boy merely gazed at the other curiously, confused by the man's reaction. When Tobi looked up at him though, Deidara found himself no longer lost by his thoughts, and instead cupping the other's face lightly. "Ya didn't bandage up.." The boy before him suddenly flushed, giving some rushed words that merely went ignored. Giving a scolding expression, he sat the male down and fumbled around a moment before grabbing the tape they stole a while back. "Tob', I told ya, ya gotta wear the patch.." Tobi closed his eyes at the words, silently letting Deidara place a large black patch over the left side of his face. The male lifted a hand to touch the area but it was slapped away, once more earning a soft scolding. It made Tobi smile this time though, he loved getting Deidara annoyed.

" I don' like wearin' in.."

"Ya gotta, you dumbass.. don' want it getting' infected right?" Merely rolling his eyes, Deidara ruffled the boy's hair and pushed an apple into the other's hands. "Eat up.. I got somethin' hatchin' that might just be our ticket" Those words were enough to make Tobi finally sit still and listen, his curiosity grabbed. They had been trying ot earn their break for a while, through numerous tasks and schemes. Things had been even harder lately, struggling to keep up money. The nun had often told them they were always welcome at the shelter, but Deidara refused. He couldn't take Tobi to a place like that, to a place where he would get mocked for that childhood accident, no instead he had created a safe haven for the child here. Their safe haven was going to be evicted by the end of the year though, so they were struggling hard to find some money so they could find a new home and not be forced into a shelter. They weren't children anymore, no one was going to pity them. Perhaps that is why Deidara was so sure stuck on this plan, because it was their last hope, or perhaps it was just the blonde's hard addiction to trouble that made him want to go through with it. Either way, the words fell from him with much excitement and chilled confidence.

" We are going to kidnap the girl"

The man watched the house silently, dark rings painted under his eyes from the nights that passed with him never laying down. It was the fourth night, it was crazy. His back was pressed to the pole that held a light a few feet ahead, a hand pressed on his stomach. It growled lightly in frustration, but the man couldn't risk leaving now. He wasn't sure what he was thinking, dropping that package into the boy's hands. He was just so scared, ithey/i were so close..

His sigh filled the silent air, tugging his hood tight over his head. The man wasn't going to risk exposing himself, not at a vital time like this. He couldn't go home, they knew the address, and he couldn't go to any place that was public. Public buildings had camera's, that is how they caught him the last night. Fuck this was crazy! The man wasn't even sure who ithey/i were, but he knew they meant business. The worn man rubbed his aching torso, eyes never leaving the house. When the terrified man threw the package at the teenager, he didn't realize how much risk he put the other at till the moment had already passed. That is why he followed the teenager home, and had been watching the building ever since. The wanted man was sure they were close by, they always were. The reason they weren't attacking was because they wanted to know where the package was as well, somehow they figured out he didn't have it. Now all he had to worry about was getting to the boy before they did, and warn him to get rid of the sinister thing. All he had to do was wait and pray; and hope his body didn't collapse from the lack of sleep.

It was a warm afternoon that next day, when Deidara found himself dressed smarter then the usual grim cloth he tossed on. A clean, white tee with a lean black jacket tossed over it and finished with some new jeans. They were nice clothes; they even felt nice and new, probably because the teenage had stolen them that morning with his room-mate. The thought didn't bother him though, instead his mind was focused on his destination. As he walked towards the large, elegant door, the boy grew slightly nervous. The male was almost tempted to turn back, but instead kept his ground till he was knocking on the girl's door lightly. He swallowed faintly, hoping his slight clean up was enough to give himself a proper image, despite his rather long hair. The door was answered not soon after his knock, and before him stood a rather lovely woman. The teenager stared for a moment, surprised. Tobi had not been wrong, the attractive girl took after her mother, who was nothing short of beautiful. As shameful as the thoughts were, this was a milf if Deidara had ever seen one.

Shoving away his testosterone fueled thoughts, he forced up a pleasant smile and kept his thumbs hooked on his belt-loops. Clearing his through, he finally spoke up. "Hey.." It was soft, something rare for the rather obnoxiously loud male. The male looked away, suddenly the nervous feeling returning. Shit, he was messing up, he would have to fix up quick before she-

"Are you one of my daughter's friends? I have never seen you.. " She spoke in a soft manner, but bold, as a woman who lived with some power should. It made Deidara ease up some, and the smile return to his face. He lightly shook his head, suddenly blurting out the words before he could think of a more mannered way to put them.

"I found your keys" As soon as the words ushered from his lips, the male had to fight the burning feeling in his cheeks and gave a nervous laugh. "I-I mean your daughter's yeah.. my pal works down at the police station, and they got their hands on this wallet…" The boy withdraw the item from his pocket, rather nerviously holding it out to the woman, though she made no advance towards taking it. Instead, she merely gave the slightest smile that made Deidara's head spin, and called out in that voice of her's again. In a moment's time, her daughter was by her side, and for the second time those bright eyes were gazing at him curiously. Merely touching her daughter's shoulder, the woman nodded to Deidara and slipped back into the inner part of the house. This merely left them, and alone when Sakura closed the door and stepped towards the blond.

".. Haven't I met you before? .. the other day!" The pink haired girl offered a smile, tucking some short strands behind her ear. Deidara gave a bit of a confused look, lost as to why the girl would bother to remember him. Instead, he held the wallet out and offered a light smile to a girl. He repeated the same story, of how his friend is a rookie cop and they caught some guy with a few wallets on him. Deidara had offered to return this one, since it was on his way home. The girl had taken the wallet, and after looking instead to find only the cash gone, she let out a cry and gave the boy a tight hug. Deidara was startled, but laughed and patted her back.

"Friendly aren't you!" His smile was now a grin, holding a gloved hand out to the girl. "My name is Deidara.. and you are Sakura~? Nice name.." At his words, the girl flushed and gave a a rather bashful smile as she took the male's hand. She thanked him lightly, and gazed once at her house before back at the boy's blue eyes and asked if he really was heading home. The boy debated a moment before softly shaking his head, glancing away as he replied with "I do remember ya' from the coffee shop.. I recognized you in the ID.. guess I wanted to do something nice for a sweet girl." His response seemed to go over well, for the girl was looking at him with surpise, but also interest.

" Well, you are certainly kind to come all the way down here just to return this! Between this, and being so kind to open a door? You are a star boy aren't you~?"

"I wouldn' really go that far.."

The girl only smiled, and gave a thoughtful look. "Perhaps I can pay you back.. Is it a reward you were looking for when you came here?"

"Certainly. That coffee shop, tomorrow at six"

"What?"

"My reward. Tomorrow at six, join me for coffee~"

The girl stared at the boy for a long moment, flushing as he gave a weak wave and trudges down the path that winded down to the road. The girl merely watched the boy till he was out of sight, then rushed back into her home, phone in hand as she excitedly called Ino. "Ino! The weirdest thing just happened!"

Deidara hummed lightly as he headed home before cursing when he put his hands into the jacket pocket. He withdrew the large envelope, frowning deeply. He had forgotten to ask the girl if this was her's, not clearly remembering where he had even gotten it from. Deidara couldn't remember if he got it from the girl's purse, or somewhere else. What else had he been doing that day..

When a body crashed into his own, he suddenly remembered the man, mostly cause he currently stood before the boy. Deidara blinked in surprised, gaping at him. "y-you yeah!" The man grabbed the boy's arm and yanked him close, staring at the package with wide eyes.

" You still have it! .. get rid of it. Now, right now. That thing is evil!"

"H-hey! Hand's off me yeah!" The male struggled to free himself from the other's grip, but the elder merely shook his head. He yanked the package from the boy's hands for a moment and looked around once before shoving it back into his hands and pointing towards a high fence between two near houses.

"Look kid.. ya' young, probably got a good arm. Chuck that thing as hard as you can over that wall!"

"… Ain't there a lake back there? Yeah.. the hell old geezer?"

"Just listen to me! Chuck that thing as hard as you can.. I didn't mean to give it to you, I didn't mean to get you in danger. Just throw it and things will end now." The man pleaded with Deidara, both arms gripping the boy's shoulders as he nodded lightly. "Please.. please do it!"

The blonde started at him a moment, hugging the package close before frowning. "…okay." He turned towards the fence and took a step forward when there was a squeal of tires. Deidara looked up in time to see the large car charging towards them. The boy gasped, already off the pavement and in the road. He was too shocked to move, but the older male wasn't.

"Run kid, run!" He lunged forward and gave Deidara a hard enough shove that the boy was knocked off his feet and quickly fell a few paces from where he was just standing. He looked up in time to see the man's wide eyes for a moment, then just the blur of the van. The boy stared for a moment, his blue eyes filled with shock. It didn't last though, the moment he blinked he was already on his feet and just as the man said, was running as fast as he could from the scene. He heard the squeal of the tires as they went in reverse, but by then Deidara had ducked safety into an alley between some houses and was gone.

The boy didn't stop running till he was safe in his house (using the back door) and slammed the door hard, locking it twice as he fell on the floor panting. The package rested in his lap, his eyes wide.

What the hell just happened.


notes
1. I know Deidara don has his 'un' 'yeah' thing. I gave him more a..street accent? but when he's nervous/flustered he will say 'yeah', as speech issue of his..
2. Sakura's mother will be the only character I plan to use not from Naruto. I mean she's in it.. but no one knows her, so she's almost an OC?

(omfg writing at 2 in the morning do not want) R&R~
