A/N: I've been a little lost for a few months, and well I still kinda am. I figured out where this was going then well forgot, but I think I have an idea so let's hope this works :) Thanks to everyone who reviewed, you're the reason I actually post this right now, otherwise it was just moving down my list of things to do.

As promised far too long ago, a slightly longer chapter.

I don't own naruto.


I opened my eyes to find myself in a dark room alone. Offhandedly I started to wonder why I was always waking up in dark rooms alone, but that wasn't important right now, I had to figure out where I was, and get out.

"He's in here?" I heard someone speaking on the other side of the door, a familiar voice that I couldn't quite place.

The door open and I squinted into the light that flooded the room. The door closed and someone flicked on a light in the room.

I waited till my eyes adjusted then opened them fully and glanced around the small room. There was a bed that I was currently laying on and a chair by it. Standing in front of the door was someone I didn't recognize, and sitting in the chair was Kakashi, silently watching me.

"So nice of you to return Deidara." He said calmly.

I didn't speak.

"We all wondered what happened to you, but now you're back so you can tell us."

"I'm not back." I said coldly pulling on my akatsuki cloak.

"Oh but you are, Deidara. What have you been up to since you left home?"

"Home? I never had a home here." I said laughing darkly, my eyes hard, and cold.

"Where have you been since you left?"

"I found a place to call home, I found a family who cares about me. Something I never had here, ever." I said harshly.

Kakashi glanced at the person standing in front of the door then back at me.

"You have two options here Deidara. One, you can cooperate, and make this easy for yourself, or you can do the opposite and make it much harder for yourself." Kakshi's tone was light but had a sharp edge to it I'd never heard before.

I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned back against the wall.

"Keep in mind Deidara, I'm still your legal guardian." Kakashi said.

"I'm over eighteen." I said bluntly.

"Yes, you are, but you left while you were under eighteen." Crap, he had me there.

"What will happen to me if I play along with this?" I asked quietly not meeting his eyes.

"I will handle this situations personally, and make sure you are not harmed."

I stared at my feet contemplating this for a while. If I played nice maybe I would be able to leave of my own accord and return to my family, surely they missed me...or something of the sorts.

"And if I don't?" I murmured looking up.

"The price will be severe, and I will step back leaving the situation to those more, brutal type."

I didn't want to deal with that right now. "Fine. I'll play nice."

Kakashi smiled under his mask and stood up. "Let me go see what I can do." After that he left the room along with the person standing in front of the door.


Kakashi sighed. He'd been questioning me for two hours about akatsuki and I'd given up almost nothing.

"They're my family Kakashi I'm not gonna tell you where they are so you can go kill them all." I said my voice sharp.

"Why did they send you here?" He asked exasperated.

"To retrieve something."

"What?"

"A scroll."

"What scroll?"

"One of them."

"Deidara."

"A water scroll, that's all I know."

He looked me deeply in the eyes for a long moment before sighing again.


A/N: I'm going to actually work on the next chapter so I should be able to get something to post soon...ish. as always R&R!
