Binas: Yikes! My schedule hates me. Fear not, for summer is on it's way! YIPPPPEEEEEE! Also, I hate the school system for blocking fanfiction! ]:(

This is to make up for not updating as much as I should. Sorry if it's short, but if it were too be longer, then I would be breaking my promise of this being Deidara's chapter.

Review time!

TheMagicManWithThePlan: Glad you like it, and sorry for the problems. I am new to writing Deidara's character, so I'd admit, I am struggling. I am trying to find a stable ground to write from, but it's hard when I don't have written situations to work off of (that's why I love transcripts so much). I remember that, it kinda confused me and made me interpenetrate it differently (I hate being a literal thinker sometimes).

I always thought physical actions showed sadism. I guess I was wrong there. Thanks for pointing that out. I never heard of Gintama. Sorry if that offends anyone. And I am trying to aim that way, a good guy with bad intentions. Better than my description... Trust me, mine sucks like crap. And that description of what he would do to the bullies, that's what I need! Good thing I can think in scenes/pictures. I can actually picture that happening, kinda comedic unfortunetly in my head... I am never really serious. And I think you gave me a hint with the Toph being kinda sadistic part. I will keep that in mind. And oh I will, I'd think it's better than any date night gone wrong.

And don't worry, when extreme OoCness is showing up in a story, I start feeling a bit sick myself, so I will do my best to stick with what I can. Since I am crappy with romance, he won't fall that way. Lovey dovey and mushy gushy cheesy romance doesn't seem like him at all actually. My version of romance is date nights gone wrong because they are funny. I will try to fix it from here on out. If you feel the need to PM me any assistance (which I welcome), you can do so. My PMs are always open.

Kingtutgaming: EOCs and Finals are EVIL! They mess up my schedule and everything. Like I said, my Summer Break is coming, then I will have all summer to do so. Maybe, I can try staying midnight too...

Please leave your thoughts in the reviews, and I may get back to you.

Did you know: When a new language starts to sink in, you start misspelling words in your own language more often?

.

Everyone, minus Toph, lined up in the bathroom in front of the mirror. Aang shaved his head, removing the tiny hairs that popped up over night, Sokka used his machete to shave the facial hairs off his face, Katara grabbed two front strands of hair into the back where her long braid began, creating her hair loopies, and Deidara washed his face and hair in the sink before bringing the wet hair into it's normal ponytail and combing his fingers through his bangs.

Once Katara was done, she entered Toph's room. Deidara could make out some annoyance in Katara's voice. He shrugged and went into the main room, grabbed an apple and went outside into the yard before heading off.

He walked among the street, occasionally passing some of the locals. After he finished his apple, he tossed it into an old lady's yard. The old lady glared at Deidara with what could be considered the old people's version of a killer glare.

"Young man! Come and pick up that apple core you just threw!", The old lady hollered.

Deidara turned around, looking the old lady in the eye. He knew she was annoyed, but decided to see how many buttons he could push before his fun ran out from it.

"Is it killing you, hm?", Deidara asked.

The old lady fumed at those words. She swung her fist in the air in fury.

"Why you little rascal! Don't talk to your elders that way! Didn't your parents teach you anything!?", The old lady shouted, "Pick up that apple core that you threw into my yard right now!"

"Uh, no. It looks better where it is.", Deidara said, inwardly smirking and continued to walk, ignoring the old lady's protests, "Can't old people ever shut up?"

The Middle Ring was buzzing with energy. Many of the Upper and Middle Ring residents chat among everyone as they shopped and went to the restaurants. Due to the crowds, Deidara had a hard time weaving himself through, occasionally bumping into someone. He then saw something that perked his attention, an art competition. He grinned and rushed over to a man who looked like the one who was running the competition.

"Um sir, is it possible for me to compete, hm?", Deidara asked.

The man looked down and saw Deidara pulling off a very adorable puppy dog face. He sighed and gestured to the stage.

"Go on and put your name into the ballot. We are just about to start.", The man said.

Deidara wrote his name on a piece of paper and put it into the ballot and took right off to the stage like lightning. This was his chance to show off and see how good the competition was and if they could even compete. Beside him were two others who each had a different medium. One was a woman who used paints and the other was a man who used a small block of marble and carving tools. Deidara was curious how well they could do, but yet already knew one thing, he was going to win one way or another.

"You all have two and half hours maximum to create your best artwork possible. The rules are simple, no sabotaging each other's artwork and no plagiarism. Your artwork must be original! May the best artist win! Starting in one...", The man said.

The contestants eyed each other in determination. Some of the determined glances looked rather formidable.

"Two..."

The contestants hovered their hands over their preferred materials. Sweat dropped from their foreheads as the tension grew.

"One..."

They inched closer, holding their breath slightly, and were ready for the moment's notice. This was the longest, most quietest second of the contest yet.

"GO!"

All of the contestants immediately started on their bases. The woman with the paints went straight for the blue paint and began painting her background. The man began to hammer away at the marble with his hammer and nail, beginning at the top. Deidara quickly got his clay onto the table and began to form it, covertly allowing his hand mouths to nibble a bit when they weren't easy to spot.

The first thirty-five minutes went by and everything was taking shape. The painter's background was finished and she was moving onto the first set of objects. The marble carver's statue was taking shape now, but it was still hard to determine what it was. Deidara finally got his base done and began working outwards.

Fifty minutes went by. The painter had gotten a set of chairs and a wall with a window painted and was moving onto the next set of objects. The marble carver's block of marble looked more like a sphere now. Deidara was adding detail to his first set of add ons to the base and to the base itself. He then grabbed some more clay and added finer pieces to the sides before making his next piece. He then got an idea and turned to the marble carver.

"You know, spheres and circles are nothing new or special. They are practically everywhere and boring as heck.", Deidara said.

"I suggest you hold your tongue until time is called, kiddo.", The marble carver said sternly.

"Oh don't come and complain to me when it rolls away when you lose, hm. In fact, it should before you do lose because it looks crappy, senpai.", Deidara said with a friendly tone but with a fake smile.

"Can it, youngster!", The marble carver groaned in annoyance, irritated by Deidara's rude comments.

The marble carver continued to carve his rough looking sphere into something even more rough looking.

"Also, I could care less about painting. It doesn't seem very exciting or three dimensional as sphere guy's over here. It's about as boring as watching grass grow.", Deidara said.

"Excuse me?", The painter asked, offended by the comment.

"Your excused, my lady.", Deidara said, looking rather smug.

The painter winced in anger. She gripped her brush tightly and continued to paint. She was not going to let some kid call her art boring. She had something in mind, cause she knew what all boys Deidara's age wanted to see.

Thirty-three more minutes passed, everyone was by now adding the finishing details. The marble carver's sphere now looked exactly like a cabbage down to the very last detail. The painter's painting got nosebleeds from the male juveniles and adult males in the peanut gallery, which unfortunetly included Deidara. Deidara's own clay sculpture took the form of a flaming phoenix.

Two minutes then passed, and the host clapped his hands.

"TIME! Set your brushes, hammers, and nails down and put any clay away! Let's see what our audience has to say! Raise your hand if our very own Wen and her... rather... uh... special painting should win!", The host said, fighting the urge to have a nosebleed.

Some hands were raised, but prominently, the immature boys who don't think with their brains. This just made Deidara think they were only voting because they were pervs.

"Raise your hand if Xiu and his marble cabbage should take the gold home tonight!", The host said.

No one raised their hands. Deidara burst out laughing.

"Is something funny?", Xiu asked slightly irked.

"Just an inside joke, hm!", Deidara chuckled, "Carry on, hm."

"Okay now raise your hands if Deidara should bring home the gold!", The host said.

The majority raised their hands, minus the pervs who were still staring at Wen's painting. Deidara then formed a hand sign, causing the phoenix to begin to move and stretch it's wings. It shook its head and began to fly around the stage a bit. Deidara crossed his arms and smirked. Everyone's jaws dropped at the animated sculpture. Murmurs spread across the audience.

"Unbelievable!"

"Incredible!"

"Did you see what just happened?!"

After a few moments of whispering, everyone raised their hands, but a few pervs refused to though.

"Looks like we have a winner for this week's contest!", The host announced, causing the crowd to cheer, "Give up for Deidara!"

The crowd cheered as the host then turned to Deidara and handed him something. It was a coupon to Pao Family Tea House.

"A COUPON?!", Deidara asked in a disbelieving tone.

"I heard they make the best tea around ever since they got new employees. You never lived until you have had their tea.", The host said.

Deidara frowned, but none of the less, took the coupon. He walked off the stage and when he was a good several meters away...

"Katsu!"

The phoenix blew up, leaving a large cloud of smoke and some slightly wreaked parts of the stage. He smiled, as he heard the complaints and annoyance from the crowd behind him.

"DEIDARA!"

"Good luck recovering from your shame, hm.", Deidara said.
