"Why," Sasuke stared, his voice a low and dangerous hiss as his eyes started burning with anger, seeming like they were trying the bore into her. "Are you wearing that?" He continued, his voice shifting to an even more dangerous sounding monotone.
She stared at him blankly, trying to keep her nervousness and fear out of her aura in case he could read it. Damn! I did not stop to think that his brother might be here! SHIT! Real stupid to wear this, yeah!
"It's a dress, yeah." She answered finally when it seemed that he might slap her. He was at least 5'9", taller then Haku –and six inches taller then her at the least- and she felt terribly short next to him, and she did not like being looked down at like this. But then, all eight of those boys were tall. Taller then her at least. Dang, being short sucked!
Sasuke looked like he was about to explode with how much anger and hate his aura was pulsing with. But she kept her face blank and kept staring at him. Her sisters knew her true name, and who her father was, but even Neji-sama did not know, so he was just as confused about Sasuke's anger as the rest of the males.
"That's not what I meant you little bitch." Sasuke hissed, his insult making her eye and hands twitch violently and she reined her self in tightly to avoid lashing out.
"What do you mean, yeah?" She said her voice flat and her eye narrowing.
"What are you doing Sasuke? She's just a kid!" Naruto said angrily, running over to grab Sasuke's arm. Sasuke pushed Naruto off of himself without even acknowledging him and his eyes started turning red. The Sharingan! Holy Shit, yeah! This is not good!
"Sasuke! Lighten up! Deidara-san is a stupid brat, but she's mostly harmless!" Neji said, actually seeming angry over Sasuke's insult. But then, he hardly knows me, he left the clan's compound when he was twelve, I'd only been there five years, and I sort of avoided him.
"I am not a kid. I am not a brat. And I am not stupid, yeah." She said monotonously. She narrowed her eye at Naruto, and then Neji before turning her gaze Sasuke. She gulped when she saw the Sharingan, but refused to back down.
"Why, are you wearing that, when it looks like an Atkutsuki cloak?" Sasuke finally verified, his eyes flashing with rage and disgust. Deidara heard Sakura and Anko groan, heard Haku swear softly and heard Hinata gasp.
Naruto was gaping openly at her now, and the rest of the males stared at her in differing degrees of surprise. Neji, Kiba and Choji's being the most obvious and dumbfounded, Gaara and Shino being almost unreadable, and Shikamaru being a cross between dumbfounded and bored. Odd character. Gulping she took a step back and crossed her fingers behind her back.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, yeah." She said, feeling sweat forming on her neck and running down her back.
"I think you do." Sasuke hissed, going so far as to grab her collar. She saw Anko, Sakura, Haku, and Hinata start forward in her defense but stopped them with a swift movement of her hand.
"…" She glared at him, refusing to answer. With a snarl he lifted he from the ground by her collar.
"Ok, yeah…so maybe I do…" She said nervously when he actually lifted her five inches from the floor. Then with a growl she kicked him sharply in the gut, landing on all fours when he dropped her and cat-quick she shot out her right leg and swiped his out from under him while he was doubled over in pain. "But I sure as 'ell ain't tellin' you, yeah!" She screamed as she leapt to her feet and got into a fighting position. "And Kami, you suck! You should have been able to see that with your Sharingan loser! Yeah!" She couldn't resist taunting him as he got to his feet, a mistake she noticed when he glowered at her.
"How do you know about the Sharingan?" He hissed dangerously. Sweat dropping she shifted her feet backwards and tried to think of an answer.
"Uhhnnnmmm….it's…a well known…trait…I mean…there's only two Uchiha left and there are only three Sharingan users…Sasuke Uchiha….Kakashi Hatake, and Itachi Uchiha…" She started before she realized with would have been best to stay silent.
"And just how, do you know about this, and how do you know Kakashi-sensei's name and my brother's?" His said in a dangerously calm voice, his eyes gleaming maniacally. "You aren't from around here, so it would not be common knowledge..."
Deidara gulped and then scrambled to the safety of Anko's arms. Anko held her possessively before pushing her behind herself and Haku, Hinata and Sakura, the four of who stood protectively in front of her.
Sasuke snarled and rushed her, only to be stopped by the sound of metal on metal as Anko pulled out multiple Kunai and Haku pulled out her metal senbon needles.
"You leave Deia-chan alone you bastard; she has nothing to do with you." Anko hissed dangerously, her eyes flashing as red as his Sharingan. Deidara quickly reached into her tote bag and opened one of the paper bags stowed in there.
"Leave her be Sasuke-san, or we will be forced to show our hand." Haku said in a dangerously calm voice, her face still and eyes strangely calm.
"Deia-neichan has nothing to do with you." Sakura said angrily, echoing her twin's words. Hinata simply glowered at Sasuke, shifting her left leg back and lowering herself into the soft palms fighting style; the veins around her eyes pulsing in case the Byakugan was needed.
"Then why, is she wearing that?!" Sasuke exclaimed, his eyes glinting maniacally.
"Ah shit, yeah…this is getting out of hand….yeah…" Deidara muttered loudly, and pulling the glove off of her left hand she pulled a glob of clay out of the paper bag she was holding in her right hand. Everyone in the room turned to stare at her when a chewing sound was heard from her hand.
"The fuck?" Neji said; his eyes narrowed as the veins pulsed around his eyes which were focused on her sleeve. Deidara sighed, knowing that he now knew of her mouths on her palms. "My Kami…now both of you are inhuman freaks!" He said in disgust, gesturing at her and Haku. Haku stiffened, and turned a coldly blank face to Neji.
"What did you call me?" The aura around Haku pulsed visibly; blue as ice and just as cold. Neji glowered at her, his eyes glowing blue. Without a sound Haku threw herself at him, knocking him over. She then got up and proceeded swiping at him with her senbon which he continuously deflected with kunai. The rest of the males that had been crowded around Neji backed away warily.
Anko, Hinata and Sakura started in surprise while Deidara backed up a bit to finish her sculpting.
Naruto started laughing when Neji got a practically good shot in, knocking Haku back several feet; and getting pissed of Anko tackled him and started beating the shit out of him while he yelped.
Hinata waved her hands frantically, telling both Haku and Anko to please calm down, and when they didn't she ran over and tried to physically restrain Haku. Except Neji accidentally –or maybe on purpose- hit her in the head, and Hinata finally lost her ever lasting patience and she started striking at him with their soft palm technique.
Sakura and Deidara stared at each other blankly before Sakura ran over to assist her twin in pummeling Kiba and Shikamaru who was trying to get Anko off of Naruto. Shino, Choji and Gaara were all just watching the various fights with interest, but obviously had no intent to interfere any further.
Turning around Deidara gulped nervously to find that Sasuke was still staring hatefully at her, and she took a tremulous step backwards. But that simply snapped him out of his daze and he suddenly rushed her, tackling her and making her yelp in surprise.
Deidara was not one to be over whelmed, so she twisted in his grasp and elbowed him in the face. He grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back and then kneeled on her legs.
"What connections do you have with the Atkutsuki?" He hissed at her, his eyes narrowed. Deidara snorted and twisting her free arm around she attempted to hit the pressure point on his neck. But he saw through her attempt and pinned that arm as well. Using that and her pinned legs as leverage she arched herself backwards, leaning all her weight –pittance as it may have been- and pushed off with her knees, bowling him backwards. She continued pushing and flipped over his head, preparing to get to her feet and flee. She was halted in her attempts when he suddenly grabbed her around the neck.
"Answer me!" He said -flipping them around and pinning her to the ground- her neck still trapped under his arm.
"It doesn't concern you, yeah!" she managed to pant out while her neck was constrained. His response was to switch his tightening grip to his hands which he tightened around her throat, almost causing her to black out.
"Tell me before I rip you frickin' head off!" Sasuke growled threateningly; sounding totally serious. She yelped and tried in vain to writhe free.
"Uchiha…leave her be." Gaara growled impatiently, he sounded almost bored but his eyes flickered unsteadily.
"Yeah man, look how teeny she is, you could kill her easy…but that doesn't mean you should!" Choji said angrily, actually going so far as to stand up and put his bag of chips down. His hands were in fists and he actually took a step towards them.
"Leave go of her Uchiha, you don't have any quarrel with the girl; despite who she may be or who she knows." Shino said; his voice deep and she sensed a vast multitude of powers –small and insignificant as they may have been separately, together they were incredibly powerful-meld with his own and his aura flared.
Sasuke glared at all three of them with disgust and with a snarl begrudgingly let her go, letting her drop carelessly to the floor with a thump.
"Who are you?" He snarled at her while she shook her head and got off the floor slowly, massaging her already bruising throat.
"Deidara Suunia, yeah…were you not listening to Anko-Neisan's introductions? How rude, yeah." She said with a glare of her own, finally losing her cool and allowing emotions to flit across her delicate face. She snarled slightly -a deep, throaty and feral sound- and crossed her arms across her chest with a fierce huff, refusing to give him any information.
"That's not your real name though is it?" He demanded, stepping towards her again. She snorted in response and narrowed her eye at him.
"Who I am or who I'm not does not concern you, yeah?" She said monotonously. She stared blankly back at him while he glowered at her.
"It does when you have connections to the Atkutsuki, and therefore my brother!" He hissed at her. She smirked slightly, maliciously.
"So what if I do, yeah?" She said haughtily. Shino and Choji stared at her; Choji looking out right shocked, and Shino's aura echoing the same emotion. Gaara narrowed his eyes penetratingly at her, but she ignored the lot of them and focused on Sasuke.
His face was a mixture of righteous anger and a disbelieving sneer. It seemed that now that she had admitted to a connection with the Atkutsuki, he didn't believe her. Frickin' stupid male egocentric crap...
With a disgusted groan she threw her hands up and started stalking over to Sakura and Anko to drag them off of Naruto, Kiba and Shikamaru. She was stopped by Sasuke; again. He moved so quickly that she hadn't seen him, and she ran straight into the brick wall that was his chest. Letting out a small 'oof' of air as she bounced off of him, she glared at the stupid Uchiha in front of her, seriously annoyed now.
He glowered darkly at her and faster then she could follow he grabbed her wrist before she could back away. She gritted her teeth as he twisted her arm up behind her back and then pulled her arm out. She refused to let him know how much it hurt. Ow, fuck! This hurts, yeah!
She leaned her upper body back with the force of her arm being pushed and then crouching slightly she jumped and twisted herself over her own arm. When she was behind her arm again she twisted her wrist away from herself and broke the hold he had on her. She was only able to manage it due to the fact that her sudden stunt had shocked him. Flipping her hands in several quick hand signs, ram, ox, dragon, tiger, she prepared to perform a ninjutsu, pissed off by Sasuke's attacks.
She shifted her right leg back and balanced her weight on her hind leg before wind-milling her arms in front of her chest and then extended her arms straight out, palms facing herself before she flipped her palms out and sent a blast of wind at him. He shifted his weight to the side and dodged easily, but she had expected that and had already sent a second blast to the side of the first, knocking him end over end. She laughed gleefully but was cut short when she saw a blast of flame coming straight at her. Quickly repeating her hand signs and sending a third blast of wind to deflect the flame she turned to run to the side, running straight into Sasuke. Again.
"You get around a lot, yeah…" She said, annoyed. Sasuke grabbed her around the throat and threw her to the floor whereupon he pinned her and started trying to strangle her. She kicked out and lobstered out of his pin, punching him across the jaw and then they both pulled out Kunai.
