This chapter is dedicated to avikar who suggested the 'Emo Corner'. Priceless. Simply priceless. If you like the 'Emo Corner' you have avikar to thank for it.

I don't own Naruto! I can't even speak Japanese.

"What's wrong with Deidara?" Hinata asked Tenten curiously as the girls were in the kitchen preparing food.

"Oh, she's depressed today." Tenten answered as she neatly chopped up a carrot and dropped it in a pot. "There we go." She added a bit of olive oil. "I hate it when she does it but its not too frequently."

"Really?" Tenten nodded.

"She gets like that. Its really sad. Dei just walks around like the living dead. She's not like Sasuke."

"What do you mean, like Sasuke?" Tenten started giggling but then let out a roar of laughter.

"You'll see at some point." She laughed.

At this moment, Neji was finding out all about Sasuke.

"Ow." A depressed voice said sulkily. "Hey."

"What's that?" Neji said aloud as he poked the crutch into the resisting object. It moved slightly under the pressure. He had taken to using the crutch to navigate around the house.

"You're poking me."

"Whose there?"

"Sasuke. You're poking me."

"What are you doing?"

"Sittting here. None of your business." Neji raised an eyebrow in skepticism. His head angled in the direction of the younger boy's voice.

"Why are you down there? And besides, I live here too."

"If you can't see for yourself what I'm doing I shouldn't tell you." Neji's brows contracted angrily. He turned on his heel and almost ran into Deidara who was moping along toward him.

"Sorry." He apologized. "Who is it?"

"Deidara." She said in a completely emotionless tone. "You shouldn't mess with Sasuke when he's in the 'Emo Corner'."

"'Emo Corner'?" He queried.

"Emo Corner." She repeated.

"Deidara, I told you not to call it that." Sasuke whined.

"I'm right though."

"Wait," Neji fumbled around until he found her shoulder. "What's the 'Emo Corner'?" Deidara almost laughed.

"There is no 'Emo Corner'." Sasuke said sourly. Deidara snorted. Her expression was critical but still sad.

"Yeah, there certainly is. The 'Emo Corner' is Sasuke's corner."

"It isn't."

"It is." She said flatly.

"No, its not."

"Yeah, it is."

"Wait. What is it?"

"A normal corner." Sasuke interjected.

"I mean, why does Deidara call it the 'Emo Corner'?"

"Because Sasuke comes here to be Emo."

"I do not." Deidara continued as if she hadn't heard a word that he had just uttered and continued in the same lifeless voice.

"He comes here and broods about how horrible his life is."

"Is that so?" Neji asked.

"Is not."

"Is. He comes here and cries pathetically about how depressed he is and how none of us understand him. Isn't that right, Sasuke?"

"No."

"Then why do you come here?" She challenged.

"Because," He tried to think of an excuse. "I like the corner."

"Heh. I rest my case."

"And what about you, Deidara? You have no right to call me Emo after you mope around the house." She sighed.

"I'm Schizophrenic. I've got an excuse. What's yours?"

"Um, my family was murdered."

"Years ago. Besides, my family left me here."

"Wouldn't your parents want you to be happy?" Neji asked, butting in. Sasuke glared in his direction though it was completely ineffectual. Neji couldn't see and Deidara simply ignored it.

"I want to avenge my parents." He intoned solemnly. Neji snorted.

"A, you're twelve. B, how? C, your parents would have wanted you to be happy not to go brooding," His lip twitched, "in a corner that had to be named for your own Emo behavior."

"I'm not Emo."

"Wouldn't they?" He pursued.

"I don't know."

"Think about it." He said, before turning and moving off. Deidara followed him as they headed away from Sasuke and the 'Emo Corner'.

"Nice." Deidara uttered in a mournful tone, "You got Emo-spawn good."

"Emo spawn?" She sighed.

"I'm forgetting that you and Hinata haven't been here forever. Emo-spawn is Sasuke's nickname when he goes into the 'Emo Corner' and decides to give us all an example of what Emo is."

"Who calls him that?" He asked in amusement as they entered Deidara and Tenten's room where Deidara and Neji normally hung out.

"Me and Naru. Yeah, and occasionally Gaara too."

"I see. Does he do this a lot?" Neji asked as he propped his crutch against something and sat down on Deidara's bed.

"All the time."

" He did have a point, Deidara. You're not acting normal."

"Not true."

"Deidara, what are you thinking about?"

"The fact that I could disappear and no one would care." Neji shook his head.

"We'd all care. You're like our sister." His blind gaze sharpened. "Now, what caused this?" Deidara sighed.

"Can't get anything past you."

Whaddya think of the 'Emo Corner'? Its hilarious, neh? Thank avikar. No offence to Emo's. There is nothing wrong with Emos. Besides the fact that its sad to be depressed and I hope that no one's depressed. Ok, I'm depressed a lot. Fine. Still, I don't hate Emos, only Sasuke. He overdoes it.
