Chapter Three

A/N: Heeeyyllloooo people~! Wassup? Not much? Good, good. I'm giving you a new chapter! To me it's early, to you, maybe not. It depends on when I post it! Thanks for the reviews :3 they make me happy. Oh and the lyrics or quotes at the beginning of each story kind of relate to how Vanille and Lex are feeling.

Lexi: Just get on with the story~!

Me: Shut up! I am talking to my readers!

Lexi: * sighs * authors these days…

Me: Lex! Do the disclaimer!

Lexi: * sigh * Luna does not own Naruto or Akatsuki. Sadly, she owns me…

Vanille: And me!

Me: ON WITH THE STORY!

.x.X.x.

God knows we tried everything that we could do

You can keep your pride and blame me

If you need to

Even though this freedom feels a lot like treason,

I know staying's worse than leaving.

Vanille's POV

"Do you think it's better we left without saying anything?" Lexi asked me as we sat on Deidara's bed.

We had to share since we're both artists and Sasori won't share with him.

Ugh.

Lexi got to share with the quiet and nice one, Itachi.

Damn her.

"I dunno." I answered, "I'd rather live here than at home. Home was a shithole."

"Yeah it was." She agreed.

We were silent for a moment.

"Do you think we'll show up in the actual show?" she asked me.

I pondered this. Would we?

"I dunno. But that would be freakin' awesome." I said, laughing.

"It would." She agreed.

"What do you wanna do today?" I asked her.

She only shrugged, "There's not much to do. We already explored the whole base. Have you noticed they seem to all be avoiding us?"

I nodded, "Yes I have. It sucks, huh?"

"Very much so." Lexi sighed.

A knock came to the door and we both watched as Itachi walked in. Lexi smiled slightly. Hehehe….

"Want to go for a walk?" he asked her. Oh my Jashin I think he's blushing.

We'd only been here three days and he's in love.

Sigh. Stupid teenagers.

She nodded and stood up, "I'll talk to you later." She said, giving me a quick hug and following the Uchiha out the door.

I sighed and lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Someone opened the door and I looked up to see my roommate.

"Hello Vanille, un." He said, smiling.

"Hello Dei." I answered.

He sat beside me and looked down.

I never noticed how pretty his eye was. Damn… I feel my cheeks heating up.

I rolled over to my stomach so he wouldn't see.

"Hey, un. Is this yours?" he asked. I looked up to see him holding my sketchbook. I nodded and sat beside him.

"Yes it is." I answered.

He opened it and I leaned against his shoulder slightly to look.

"It's very pretty, yeah." He commented. It was a picture of a horse.

"Most of those are pictures of the Akatsuki." I said as he flipped the page to a picture I drew of him and Gaara when they were fighting.

"That is so cool, un!" he said happily.

"You can have it if you want." I shrugged. I didn't think it was that good, but then again I always think that about my art.

"Nah, un. It's better in here so it doesn't get messed up, yeah."

I nodded and he continued flipping through. He reached the last page which was blank.

"Aren't you gonna use this page, un?" he asked, looking over at me.

I smiled and took the book, walking over and placing it on one of the two dressers in the room. "I will when I find something I want to draw."

He nodded and I came back to sit beside him.

It was then that I noticed he was shirtless…

Holy Jashin I almost died right then.

Luckily he didn't catch my gawking.

"I'm surprised you two are okay with this, yeah." Deidara said, a slight smile playing on his lips.

I shrugged, looking at the floor, "Leaving was better than staying."

He watched me closely for a moment before standing up, "C'mon, yeah. Let's find the others and play a game."

I frowned but stood up, "What kind of game?"

The blonde shrugged, "Hmm. Truth or Dare?"

I smirked and nodded and we walked out.

Pein, Konan, Deidara, Hidan and Kisame agreed to play. Itachi and Lexi came back and they too wanted to play.

"You first." Konan said, looking at Pein. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare." He said. Of course the bad guys say dare.

"I dare you to.." the blue haired girl looked around and then back to him, "I dare you to take Kakuzu's money."

At the current moment, said miser was on the couch counting out some coins.

Pein looked at her with wide eyes, "Are you trying to get me killed?"

"You're the leader." She pointed out, "He wouldn't dare harm you."

Pein stood up and walked over to Kakuzu, swiping a stack of bills off the couch. The miser stood up without looking at who it was and tried to punch said leader. He only dodged though. Pein smirked and gave the money back to a grumbling Kakuzu and went to sit back down.

"Konan." Pein said, "Truth or dare?"

"Dare." She said, smiling.

"I dare you to kiss me." He said calmly.

My jaw dropped.

Konan was blushing like crazy.

Hehe. Konan blushes.

He leaned over and brushed his lips to hers for a moment before leaning back.

"Deidara." She said when she recovered.

"Dare." Said bomber answered immediately.

"I dare you to kiss Vanille. On the mouth." She said, smirking.

My jaw dropped farther. I quickly closed it and became very still.

"But she doesn't want me to." Deidara said quietly.

"I'm sure she does." Lexi intervened.

Damn her….

Though she's right…

Don't judge me!

The blonde male leaned closer to me and pressed his lips to mine.

It was quite nice, actually. His lips were soft and he kissed just as soft. I nearly gasped when I felt him biting my lower lip.

I heard a cough and we jumped apart.

We were both blushing like crazy.

I wasn't paying attention to the game any longer. Lexi ended up being kissed by Hidan, much to Itachi's distaste.

Itachi then got to kiss Lexi. Haha, it was so funny.

"-to kiss Vanille." I heard Kisame say. I looked up from my zoned-out-ness and saw Kisame looking at Sasori.

Damn sharks.

Deidara growled softly beside me.

Awwh he's so cute.

Sasori swiftly kissed my cheek before returning to his seat.

"Okay I'm done playing." Lexi said with a yawn. She stood up as I did.

We went into the kitchen as Konan cooked some dinner.

After a dinner of fried chicken, white rice and chow mien, we all dispersed from the room to other places. I went to Deidara and my room and lay on the bed again, staring at the ceiling.

"Whatcha doin', un?" said blonde boy said.

"Nothing." I answered.

"About that kiss…" he began, sitting down beside me. I looked over at him for him to continue.

"Well. What does it mean, un?" he gave me a confused look.

"I don't know. You were the one giving the kiss." I reminded him.

He sighed, looking down at my face, "Does it mean we're… you know… Together, un?"

I sat up on my elbows, looking at him. "Do you want it to mean that?"

He blushed, "Yes."

I shrugged, trying to hide a smirk. "I don't know. I might need another kiss so I can figure it out."

He grinned and leaned towards me. I felt his mouth on mine again and his teeth pulling at my lower lip. I opened my mouth and let him explore before we fought for dominance. Moments later, we separated to breath. "What is your conclusion, yeah?"

"Well." I stated, "If I keep getting kisses like that, then my answer is yes."

He chuckled and lay next to me.

"You're a weird kid, you know un?" he said.

I nodded, "You're just as weird."

"Agreed, yeah."
