Childhood Memories

Don't Own Naruto.

Now some of you were confused about most of the childhood Akatsukis. And I know they aren't Konoha nins. Most of this story is plot convenience. Anyway, Shniz is an OC of mine. You can find him in any of my other story "Akatsuki: Rise of the Shniz."

This might be a little long.

ITACHI: He's about… 12

KISAME: 12 but older than Itachi

HIDAN: 12 but knows too much

KAKUZU: 13 (oldest one probably)

SASORI: 11

TOBI: 10 (youngest)

LEADER: 12 (Then why's he in control of Kakuzu!?)

FLOWER-CHAN: 12 (same as leader)

SHNIZ: 10 (older than Tobi)

DEIDARA: 10 (going 11 in week 3 of the story)

ZETSU: 12 (oldest 12 year old)

Now… Hidan behaves that way because… He had… a troubled past! (Boo Hoo). But I'll get into that later in the story… I suppose. And since they're kids… They don't really know much about being Evil… yet. And if you're STILL confused… uh… just say so. Or… just stop reading altogether. Just saying.

It was sunset. Deidara walked Hinata back to the house. "Ino! We're home!" Deidara called. No answer. "Ino…?" Hinata called next. Still no answer. Deidara looked around the house, Hinata following close behind. Finally Deidara opened the door to the computer room. There sat Ino, Eyes wide open, mouth agape the computer screen blank. Well… that's what Hinata saw, so she screamed.

What Deidara saw, however, was… Ino sitting on her chair, looking at them. She looked horrible, don't get me wrong. She was just… not what Hinata had thought. She was upright… her eyes were normal size… and the computer was off. "Hinata… calm down. Ino's okay… just not… 'Okay, Okay'… ok?" Deidara said, trying to calm her down. He went over to Ino and untied her. Instantly Ino went to the computer and deleted all the pictures she put anywhere and shoved the originals into Deidara's arms. "I'M SORRY!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" She screamed. Hinata just watched. Ino saw Hinata in the corner of her eye and ran to her. She grabbed her shoulders. "I'M SORRY!! I'LL GO COOK DINNER NOW!! AAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!" She laughed, letting go of her shoulders and running off into the kitchen.

Hinata looked at Deidara and he looked back. "What… just happened… Deidara-kun…?" Hinata asked. "I've just succeeded in my all time life's goal: Made my younger sister… insane." Deidara said, smiling. Suddenly an explosion was heard in the direction of the kitchen. In other words… Ino had, once again endangered the Yamanaka flower shop.

"'Once again'…?" Kisame asked.

"……. Long story short: We were playing fire fighters." Deidara said.

"Sounds like fun!" Tobi cheered.

"You know what's also fun Tobi?" Deidara asked menacingly.

"Whaat!?" Tobi said, sparkled surrounding him.

"Playing baseball. WITH YOUR HEAD." Deidara took a bat out of nowhere, aiming for Tobi's head. "One… Two… Thr-" Deidara was stopped by the leader. "Deidara, Tobi shut up. Your story intrigues me." The leader said. Deidara sat down, the bat in his hand just in case…

Deidara ran to the kitchen. "INO!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE COOKING DINNER!?" Deidara called. "Cooking Dinner Was I Brother eldest." Ino called back. Deidara took a minute to register what he heard. "What!?" Deidara asked. "Calm down Brother must. Worry about nothing you are doing." She said again. "Ino! You're talking backwards!" Deidara said, finally finding her through all the smoke. "Backwards talking not what I'm doing." She said, holding up a finger matter-of-factly. Deidara hit her head. "Do that why did you?" She asked. "sigh… Ino, Ino, Ino." Deidara sighed. By now almost all the smoke had cleared and Hinata had assumed the position of making dinner.

TWO HOURS LATER

Ino was back to normal (don't ask how) and Deidara had 'grounded her on big brother authority'. What the heck does that mean anyway!? Ino asked angrily, sitting in her room. She heard a crashing sound. Huh…? Is someone here? Ino thought. Then she heard Hinata scream. Uhhh… Ino decided to stay in her room. I mean, Deidara was the older brother…

NOW… TWO HOURS EARLIER…

"Deidara-kun… what happened to Ino?" Hinata asked, following him down the hall. Deidara turned to her with a nervous grin. "She's just… a little crazy after what you saw… earlier." He replied. "What did I see earlier?" Hinata asked. "The worst kind of torture method in the world…" Deidara murmured, opening the door to his room. He abandoned all the pictures on his bed, giving one to Hinata. "A present" He muttered, walking out quickly.

Hinata looked down at the picture and blushed. It was the one of Deidara and her in his bed, hugging. What disturbed her was that he was smiling.

There was a knock at the door. Hinata answered it, since Deidara was busy cleaning up the mess Ino had made.

"Yes-" Hinata was immediately glomped by… "OH! HI HINA-CHAAAAAN!!!" Hidan yelled. Deidara came running. "Who's at the- HIDAN!? LET GO OF HER!!" Deidara ripped Hidan away from Hinata. "She's just too cute! I can't stand it!!" Hidan Squealed. Yes, squealed. "Oh my god Hidan…" Kakuzu said, walking in, carrying truckloads of bags. "How much stuff are you bringing!? It's just one night!" He yelled. "Hm? I thought I was moving in with cute little Hina-chan here!" Hidan said, patting Hinata on the head. He eventually pulled her back into a hug. "Ah!" She squeaked.

"Did you hear that Deidara!? She squeaked! That's so cute! TOO CUTE!!" Hidan yelled, hugging her tighter. "Hidan, as leader of Akatsuki, I ORDER you to let Deidara's Girlfriend go." The leader said, walking in, with an equal amount of luggage as Kakuzu. Flower-chan came afterwards. Shniz and Tobi came, Shniz carrying all of Tobi's belongings, as well as his. In other words, the same case as Kakuzu and the leader.

"Woah, woah, woah! What're you all talking about!?" Deidara asked, stopping everyone at the door. "Huh? You don't remember? We're sleeping over today!" Hidan cheered. Deidara grabbed his head. "NO. I DON'T REMEMBER. LEAVE." Deidara hissed. "Awww… That's not FAIR Deidara-chan!!" Hidan whined. Deidara's hands wrapped around Hidan's neck, about to strangle him. The only thin holding him back was Hinata in his arms. So instead, he squeezed tightly. "What was that, calling me –CHAN, hm?" Deidara flashed an angry smile. "Ahaha… -choke- Ahaha… I-I'm s-s-sorry… Deidara…" Hidan choked out. Deidara loosened his grip on Hidan's neck. Hidan reluctantly let go of Hinata.

Kisame and Itachi entered the house. "We miss anything good?" Kisame asked, carrying the same amount of luggage as the leader and Kakuzu. Deidara looked at Hinata. "Do you want a sleepover?" He asked. Hinata looked at him and then the other Akatsukis. "Mm- hmm!" She smiled. Deidara blushed. "AAAAHHHH!!! SO CUUUUTEE!!" Hidan screamed, taking Hinata into another hug. "DEIDARA!! YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!!"

Kakuzu noticed something fall out of Hinata's pocket. "What's this, Hinata-san?" He asked, showing her the picture. Hidan grabbed it out of his hands and gasped. "Deidara! You naughty, naughty boy!" Hidan said. It was the picture of Hinata and Deidara in a bed. "She's too YOUNG, Deidara! How could you-" Deidara had punched Hidan on the head, Grabbing the picture. "Owww!!! Deidara!!" Hidan screamed, rubbing his head.

Kisame knocked on the doorframe. "C-can we c-come in N-n-ow…? I-It's F-f-f-freezing!" He said, teeth chattering. "It's the beginning of July, idiot." Itachi said. "But it would be nice to come in."

"Oh! Yes, yes! Come in!" Hinata said. Everyone walked in, dropped all their stuff, and sat around the living room.

Yes, smiles all around in the burning silence.

……………………………

Smiling… waiting… to tell the truth, this was their first sleep over. EVER.

"So… what now…?" Hinata asked. Either Hidan was jumpy again, or Hinata was just being… Hinata. "AAAAAH!!! YOU'RE SO CUTE WHEN YOU'RE CONFUSED!!" He yelled, glomping her. "Ha… ha. No seriously, what do we do now?" Hinata asked. Everyone was clueless.

WITH INO

"I'm missing an opportunity to embarrass Deidara… aren't I?" Ino asked herself, reading some manga she found lying around her room. "This is so BOOORING!!" Ino groaned. "That's it. I'm getting out of here." Ino walked up to the door and… just left. She walked to the kitchen to get a snack. Walking back out she looked at the living room to find that Deidara's friends were sitting there… clueless.

She stared at them while they stared back.

"Ino! Hey!" Deidara walked over to her sister. "Don't know what to do. First gathering at my house. HEEEEELP." He whispered in her ear. "You know, sometimes you're stupid beyond belief." Ino whispered back. She walked past him, to the center of the living room. "TRUTH OR DARE!!" She announced, taking a seat on the floor.

"Alright! Something interesting!" Hidan cheered, rubbing his hands together. Everyone sat around in a circle. Hinata was in between Hidan and Deidara. Ino sat beside Deidara, then came Itachi, Kisame, Sasori, Tobi, Shniz, and Kakuzu beside Hidan. Everyone looked at the leader and Flower-chan. "Huh? Oh fine! We'll play you're stupid game!" He said, sitting down beside Sasori and Tobi. "Are we forgetting anybody…?" Hinata asked.

Suddenly, a knocking was heard at the door. Deidara answered it to find… "Zetsu! There you are! Come in!" Deidara welcomed. "Did I miss anything…?" Zetsu asked. "Uh… nope! The party's just started!" Deidara said.

"Ok, now that everyone's here, let the game begin!" Ino said, starting the game with Itachi.

"How come I don't remember any of this?" The leader asked.

"Hey, you guys came without warning." Deidara said defensively.

"Damn, was Hinata-chan so cute i hugged her every second?" Hidan asked, smirking at Deidara's sudden angry expression. "Jealous?" Hidan teased. Deidara took the bat he was holding and aimed for Hidan's head.
