Just like I promised. More Deidara. Here's Chapter 4. R&R

Deidara sat on a bench in the middle of the park, two blocks away from Rico's house. He had hardly slept last night, and he was tired, cold and hungry. He had left early. Before everyone else was awake. Being Wednesday, it was everyone's 'day off'. Well, the day when Rico didn't have anything for anyone to do. Deidara normally came to this park, and sat on this bench every one of those days he had off. It's where he went to go and think, and the place where his mother use to take him every day before he had run away. Tobi was the only one who knew that Deidara came here to let off steam. So, it didn't surprise him when Tobi showed up.

"I knew I'd find you here, " Tobi said. He sat down beside Deidara, leaned back, and starred up at the sky. It was cloudy, and looked like it was about to rain. Deidara ignored him. He zipped up his red sweater, and pulled on his hood. The wind was pickingup, and Deidara failed to grab a jacket when he left the house this morning. Tobi turned his head towards Deidara, hoping to get something out of his face, but his blond hair and sweater created a barrier between the two of them. He slid closer, and Deidara leaned slightly away. "You could always go back Dei." Tobi watched Deidara for some kind of reaction. Nothing. "You know. Before the forget about you, and decide to move on." Deidara began to play with the strings to his sweater. He wished Tobi would just leave him alone, and stop bringing up his parents. He couldn't go back. Not now. It was too late, they had already forgotten, and moved on. His mother had stopped coming to the park at 3 o'clock every day to look for him. She had stopped crying, and was now pregnant and happy. Deidara knew running away would eventually stop his parents fighting, and they'd be happy again. Maybe they'd have another son, to replace the one they lost.

Rico had made it so easy. He had found him in the park, at the exact bench him and Tobi sat on now. The same night he had run away. He noticed Deidara's looks, and innocence. He was only 12, and Rico took advantage of him. Filling his mind with lies. Saying he'd be better off without his parents. They'd be happy, and he, Deidara, could live with Rico and make a living on his own. Rico had promised that he could go back whenever he wanted too. Yet, whenever Deidara was upset and wanted to go back home, Rico would find a way to make him stay.

"I can't" Tobi sat up and leaned forward so that he could see part of Deidara's face.

"What?" Deidara turned in Tobi's direction and began to stare him down.

"I can't. Not now." Deidara stood, and kicked the ground. He looked up in the direction of his former home. It started to rain. Tobi continued to sit on the bench, and stare at the back of Deidara's head.

"What do you mean you can't go back?" Deidara turned around to face Tobi again. He had to squint because the rain started to pour harder. He was getting drenched.

"Would you just fuck off? The only reason you keep bringing it up is because you hate it that you aren't Rico's pet anymore. Well news to you, Tobi. I'm no longer his favourite either. Well soon I wont be." Deidara shoved his hands in his pockets, and once agin looked in the direction of his old home.

"What do you mean?" Tobi stood up, and turned in the direction of Deidara. Confused.

"I've decided to take Rico's advice into come consideration."

"What-"

"-you can tell Rico, I agree with him. And I've decided to go back to school. JJ will have to continue to keep Mr. Chargez happy on his own," Deidara grinned. Rico was going to be pissed. However, Deidara had to find a school that would allow him to return.

"Seriously. You? School?" Tobi was shocked. Deidara glared at him.

"Yeah. Me. Why do you have to be such a dick?" Tobi shrugged. He just couldn't see Deidara wearing a uniform, and following rules.

"I just can't see you going all goody two shoes. That's all." Tobi glanced up at him. Trying to hold back a laugh. Deidara began to chew his bottom lip. Frustrated he turned around and began to walk in the direction of the bus stop. "Hey. Where are you going?" Deidara stopped and turned slightly.

"I'm going out for a drink, or two. Tell Rico I'll be back late. Need to clear my head, without you messing me up.So piss off would you?" Deidara glared over at Tobi, challenging him to stop him. Tobi nodded, and turned in the opposite direction. Towards Rico's. Deidara watched Tobi take a couple of steps, and was shocked when Tobi stopped and turned back towards him.

"You know what Dei?"

"What?" Deidara started to clench his fists. Why Tobi wanted to start shit now was beyond him. It had been a whole week since Tobi had brought Deidara home after his miss hap at Chargez's. Rico had let him off easy. But one night with Chargez was enough. JJ was relieved to have a free night to himself. Chargez was a pig. Deidara hated it. He didn't come home that night, or the night after. Sleeping at the local YMCA put some things in perspective. His life sucked. And he blamed Rico, as well as, himself. If he hadn't ran away, his parents might of split, but at least he wouldn't of been here.

"You have it easy. Rico loves you, he thinks you can't do anything wrong. Even when you do, he lets you off easy."

"You don't know shit!"

"You still get first pick of the food he brings home. You can take as much as you like, well the rest of us eat the scraps."

"Fuck you Tobi."

"No Fuck you Dei. You get everything." Deidara lost it. He smashed Tobi in the face, knocking him to the ground. He stood over him, and glared down at him. Tobi's nose looked broken.

"You only see what you want to see Tobi. You think Rico's a fucking god. He's not. He's a fucking dick. You only see what's going on in front of you. And you should know what's going on behind doors, you piece of shit. You were Rico's favourite before I got here. He takes what he wants. And so what if I get the first pick of food. I hardly take anything. Or maybe Rico treated you differently behind doors when I wasn't here. If that's so, you can kiss my sore ass Tob. And Fuck off." Tobi stared up at Deidara, blood pored from his nose, and his eyes were watering from pain. He couldn't tell if the water pouring down Deidara's face was tears or the water from the rain. He didn't ask. Deidara just shook his head, turned and left him there sitting in his own filth.

Next up... the meeting between Itachi and Deidara. YAY :D
