Chapter 3

*Deidara POV*

The next days flew past in a blur all week I had different classes each day, making it hard to adjust from the old schedule from Takigakure. From brushing past people in the halls to wedging myself into the table in the lunchroom, I had many things to adjust to. I also discovered a few things about the members of the Akatsuki that where unusual and I would not hesitate to bet money that nobody else really knew any of it.

Pein and Konan had known each other their whole lives. (Tobi met them at some point, but it wasn't clear when.) When they came to Konaha, they met Itachi and Kisame. (Both despised each other up until this point.) Zetzu came along and just kind of added himself to their group. Then Orochimaru was with them for a time shortly after Sasori and Kakuzu joined. Hidan was begrudgingly allowed to join because Kakuzu was his roommate and Hidan followed Kakuzu everywhere. Tobi finally came back to Konaha after spending time traveling abroad.

Kakuzu was into money, big time. Pein was obsessed with piercings. Konan had a knack for origami and dance. Hidan was a Jashinist; he likes to hurt himself and others more than anything in the world. Zetzu had no recollection of his youth. Well, either of them. Kisame grew up with six younger siblings and practically raised them. Itachi was considered the prodigy child of Konaha. Sasori Hated being asked lots of questions and hated it when people made him wait.

However, there was also a darker side of the Akatsuki that I was catching wind of. Small bits and pieces of stories from past events and recollections of their younger years made me wonder what kind of life did they have before getting here? Like how Itachi killed his entire clan, only sparing his beloved younger brother. Pein watched his parents die and Konan never remembered her parents. Hidan died but was revived by Jashin, giving him immortality and an amazing array of chilling justus. Sasori left his village, not to long after his grandmother was in an accident. In addition, Kisame's six younger siblings where all dead.

Seeing how depressing and horrific some of the Akatsuki grew up, it made me feel grateful that I still had my family in one piece, almost.

I woke up on Friday to see Sasori already out the door and my breakfast on the nightstand. I went through Biology, Trig and English in a dazed state. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of trouble Sasori was getting into

"Listen brat," He raised his left eyebrow slightly, "You'd better behave until I get back"

I just stood there with a dumb look on my face, "But you just got back! By the way, where exactly do you guys go to 'Have a drink'?"

"Somewhere,"

"Where is somewhere?"

"Somewhere unimportant to you." Sasori huffed at my questions, "I've always gone out on Friday nights. Where it is doesn't concern you. I'll be back before sunrise.

He strided to the door and left without another word.

"Wow," I said aloud, "Asshole."

Now, what to do with my spare time? I still had no idea where the other Akatsuki's dorms where, but that still didn't stop me for getting dressed, grabbing my clay and leaving. I deserved some time to learn the school grounds on my own, didn't I?

I roamed the hall down form where I had first met the Akatsuki. I couldn't help but wonder if I was Sasori's partner or not. I mean, Itachi and Kisame shared the same dorm. So Did Kakuzu and Hidan. Did that make me an Akatsuki too?

I could imagine myself with smoke coming out of my ears from asking so many questions" a squeaky male voice spoke softly as the door opened.

Someone flicked the light switch a couple of times and exhaled in frustration.

"What do those creeps even have that Orochimaru finds so valuable?" another deeper male voice asked, "I know they have all the skill and experience of outside Konaha, but really? All they do is sit together in this dark room, not talking"

"How do you know that?" the squeaky voice piped up again.

"I've seen them. Bunch of weirdos. Whatever, just, look for files or something. Maybe that will have something Orochimaru wants" The boy with short black hair huffed.

"Shut up, Sasuke. They always go out on Fridays."

"Where do they go anyway?"

"Hell if I know"

"Hmnh,"

The conversation died off as I stood slowly in the corner, staying just out of the line of sight,

"What a bunch of nimrods. Why do they all stick together so much? All because they came from other villages doesn't make them better

"Who the hell are you?" Sasuke looked me up and down.

"I am a newer member of the Akatsuki, Uhn. I'm supposed to be here" I lied through my teeth, I hoped I looked calm and cool.

"If you're looking for files, they are not in here. They destroy all old files, just for this reason." I pointed at them with my left hand and stuck my right one into the bag of clay on my hip. "Now, if you will hand over the key you have there that you have obviously stolen, or face the wrath of the Akatsuki you four eyed bitch."

"Kabuto, don't take the bait-" Sasuke snapped harshly

"I wasn't planning on it"

"Show me the ring or it never happened." Kabuto took another step foreword and I slammed my hands together for the seals, making the centipedes coil around the two.

"What the-?! You freak! What are these?"

"Works of art, Uhn." I walked casually to them, gazing at Kabuto's right hand, which held the key.

"If you'll excuse me, I'll be taking this," I snatched the key away, "And I'll personally escort you to the door. And if either of you resist, I'll blast you to hell, Uhn.

The centipedes moved enough for them to walk and I roughly kicked Sasuke forward.

"If I see either of you assholes in here again I'll pull a Hidan and 'Fuck your shit up,' got it?" I smiled sarcastically then added, "I would say 'Have a nice day,' but you two suck, so I'll leave you with a 'go to Hell.'"
