Rose: Chapter 8…WHOOHOO!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, but I do own the plot,
"Why is it when you actually want clouds there are never any around?" I asked, glancing at the two-toned man next to me,
Zetsu smiled "it's payback for yesterday"
We were replanting the flower patches Tobi had destroyed, but typically there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was as its highest point, beating down on our backs. I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand, smearing my already filthy face with more dirt, my clothes were already coated in dirt and mud from earlier in the day, I'd refused to wear a dress while gardening and Deidara had relented, allowing me to wear a pair of his Akatsuki pants, which were so loose they were almost falling off my hips and one of his shirts which had slid off one shoulder, it was annoying me because I had to keep shifting it back on,
"I curse Summer time" I breathed, patting down the soil around a recently planted seed, Zetsu chuckled again and did the same, I glanced around "where did Tobi go?"
"I sent him to collect some water"
"But…We have a hose right over there!"
"I know"
"He was destroying more than he was fixing wasn't he?" I sighed "oh for God sakes, be two 'o' clock already!" I shouted up to the sky, Tobi came running out of the kitchen,
"Tobi got the watAHHH!"
"Ahhhh TOBI!"
Tobi tripped and the bucket flew from his hands, its contents emptying themselves over me and the soil, I glared up at him,
"Tobi is sorry!" he whined, crouching down and pressing his palms together as if praying, I groaned,
"It's okay, just be more careful next time" I wiped my face with my shirt and handed him the bucket,
"Tobi will be right back!" he picked up the bucket and sprinted back towards the kitchen, I sighed and planted another seed,
"What are the odds he does it again?" I asked, Zetsu glanced at me,
"Are you sure you want to know?"
I though for a moment "not really, no!" he chuckled again "hand me another packet please" I thanked him as he reached over to give me the seeds,
"Tobi got more watAHHH!"
"FOR GOD SAKES TOBI!"
He'd done it again!
"Tobi is sorry, Tobi is sorry, Tobi is sorry!" he cried,
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRIPPING OVER?" I asked, rubbing the water from my eyes,
"Tobi doesn't know…But Tobi will not drop the water this time!" he grabbed the bucket and ran towards the kitchen for a third time, I stood up and moved to Zetsu's left side, he looked at me with raised eyebrows,
"Well you don't expect me to sit there and let it happen a third time do you?"
"So you're going to let me take the hit?" his dark side asked,
"Yesum!" I chirped, he sighed but didn't protest,
"Tobi got more watAHHH!"
Again!
"THREE TIMES TOBI. THREE GODDAMN TIMES!" I stood up and began advancing on the masked man, even in oversized clothes, bare feet and dripping wet, Tobi found me menacing!
"Tobi is sorry! He promises it won't happen again!" I began to roll up the sleeves of my shirt, Tobi held up his hands in defence "Tobi will make it up to Deidara's Petal, please don't kill Tobi!" he backed away,
"What's all the yelling about? Some of us are trying to relax!"
"PUT A SOCK IN IT KISAME!"
"Shit she's still on her period!" Kisame ran back into the kitchen, a few seconds later he and most of the other members of the organisation had vacated the kitchen to watch the scene between Tobi and me,
"Fifty yen says she kills him" Kakuzu flung his arm around Sasori's shoulders, the puppet man threw him off,
I grabbed the hose lying by the wall and pointed it at Tobi; he held his hands up in defence "Tobi said he was sorry!"
"Being equal makes the world go round!" I grunted, twisting the nozzle of the hose, water flew out and knocked Tobi backwards, he screamed and started running around the garden, the stream of water following close behind "take your punishment like a man Tobi!"
"Akina look out!" Sasori shouted, Itachi had just exited the kitchen and Tobi ran behind him, of course I didn't see until it was too late and no more than two seconds after I did…Itachi was soaked!
"Turn it off!" Kisame ordered,
"It's STUCK!" I screamed "Zetsu! The tap, the tap!" Zetsu rushed towards the tap on the side of the wall, the water slowly stopped, reducing itself to a miniscule drip, unfortunately Itachi now resembled a drowned rat, I laughed nervously when his sharingan flashed and he advanced towards me, I held up the hose again "Zetsu! THE TAP, THE TAP!"
"You just told me to turn it off"
"Well now I'm telling you to turn it back on"
Zetsu didn't make it in time, Itachi had reached me and knocked the hose from my hands, I gulped as he grabbed my wrists, I laughed nervously "you're gonna kill me aren't you?"
"No" he said shortly "I'm going to do something much worse"
"What's worse thAHHHH!" Itachi thrust me away from him, I fell backwards into a puddle of mud, created when Tobi repeatedly dropped the water, I gaped up at the smirking Uchiha "you are so dead!" I snarled whilst grabbing a handful of the substance I was currently seated in, I tossed it upwards towards Itachi's face, he dodged it and it hit Kisame, who then pulled out his sword and smashed the ground with it, spraying mud all over Sasori when I rolled out of the way, Sasori glared at the three of us in turn and summoned three of his puppets, making them throw a combination of mud, Sebon and Kunai at everyone,
Tobi and I dived behind a tree, Zetsu curled his venus around himself, Kakuzu sprinted back into the kitchen and Itachi and Kisame took cover high above the ground,
It was just bad luck when Deidara walked out. Tobi and I glanced at each other and I grinned, Kisame jumped down behind us chuckling,
"Why are you covered in mud? Un" Deidara approached Sasori,
The red head simply grunted and walked off with his puppets in his arms, Deidara stared after him just as I strolled out from behind my tree towards the blond,
"Hi" I chirped, stopping in-front of him, he grinned down at me,
"I was wondering where you were, un, you were supposed to meet me fif…Why are you covered in mud as-well?"
"I had fun!" I shrugged and he shook his head, sighing,
"That doesn't answer my question Petal, un"
"I know" I skipped around the blond, he watched me with a small smirk and raised eyebrows,
"What're you up to Petal? Un"
"What makes you think I'm up to something?" I stopped skipping when I was behind him, he sighed again,
"Petal" he warned, turning around, I giggled "I'm not going to ask again, un, why are you covered in mud?"
"You just asked again!" I pointed out and his eyes narrowed; from behind him I could see Kisame and Tobi sneaking towards the mud puddle, Zetsu had opened up his venus and returned to his garden and Itachi was leaning against the trunk of the tree he was sitting in, eyes closed,
"You're wet too, un"
"W…What?" I flushed, that comment caught me completely off guard,
"The shirt and pants I gave you are soaked, un, I didn't expect for you to keep those you know?" he tugged on my dripping sleeve causing my shoulder to become exposed again,
"Awww. But that's no fun!" I pouted up at the blond man, my eyes darted over to the duo who were giggling like maniacs whilst grabbing as much of the mud as they possibly could,
"What're you looking at? Un" my eyes snapped back to Deidara, I laughed nervously and rubbed the back of my head,
"Nothing!"
"Hmmm" Deidara shifted his upper body to look behind him, only to have a mud ball meet his face; I clasped both my hands over my mouth to stop myself from laughing, he removed his scope and wiped the mud away with his hand,
Another mud ball hit him, followed by three more, courtesy of Tobi, it was to much and I fell to my knees, letting my laughter go,
Deidara didn't get mad and start blowing everything up, instead he smirked down at me, I squeaked and tried to crawl away but he grabbed my arm and held me out in-front of him as a shield. Kisame grinned, his pointed teeth shining in the sun "uh…C'mon guys! I thought we were a te-" I stopped in mid-sentence when Kisame threw a mud ball that connected with my shoulder "KISAME!"
"What? I saw an opportunity and I grasped it!"
"Payback, un" Deidara giggled, I tugged away from him and turned around, standing so close to him that our toes were touching, I crossed my arms and he mimicked me, I glared at him and he glared back, granted it was fake, but he still did it.
Another mud ball hit him on the side of the head, then one hit me, we blinked at each other and turned to face Kisame and Tobi who were rolling on the ground laughing, I gaped at them "you traitors!" Deidara chuckled and I glared at him viciously, he recoiled slightly,
"You're on your period aren't you? Un"
"NO I AM NOT ON MY GOD DAMN PERIOD! CAN'T I BE MAD WITHOUT SOMEONE ASSUMING I'M HAVING 'WOMANLY' PROBLEMS?" I breathed deeply as Deidara, Kisame, Tobi, Zetsu and Itachi stared at me "MEN!" I threw my arms up and stormed back into the base, not missing the look Deidara gave me.
I reached Deidara's room and slammed the door behind me, men are hopeless when it comes to women, how come they're allowed a bad day and I'm not?
A few minutes later the blond man burst in and pinned me to the far wall, the force of it caused some of his clay sculptures to fall off the shelves and smash "what the…? Deidara!?"
"Shut up! Un" I blinked and he crashed his lips to mine, my eyes widened, sure he'd kissed me before, but it was always on the cheek or my neck, never on the lips! I opened my mouth to protest and he slipped his tongue inside, I pushed against his shoulders but he took my hands in his and pinned them beside my head, the mouths kissing my palms. He pulled back when we needed air and rested his forehead against mine, the metal of his headband cooling my skin, his sky blue eye boring into mine,
"I…You…Deidara?" I breathed,
"You" he started, I blinked "you're beautiful; you must have artist essence running through your veins un…I've never seen it expressed so vibrantly…I have to capture it!"
"What?"
"When you exploded back then, un, I felt something I've never felt before, I'm...Attracted to you in a whole new way" he pressed his body onto mine and I flushed a deep red,
"Oh…Uh…Deidara…I...Uh…I need a shower!" I said quickly,
"I have to sculpt you! Un" Deidara panted,
"O…Okay" I squeaked "but could you move away just a tad? I'm feeling a little… claustrophobic"
He kissed me again, one of his hands moved to the base of my neck and pressed my mouth harder onto his, his other one wrapped around my waist, he moaned and I felt a shiver run down my spine. I decided there and then that it was not a good feeling. His tongue ran along my bottom lip, asking for entrance which I gave him, only praying that he'd stop soon, eventually he pulled back and chuckled,
"I thought you wanted a shower, un" I gasped,
"I do" I whispered "but you-"
"However" he grinned, cutting me off "I'm going to shower first, un" I gaped up at him "and don't argue. I have something to take care of, un, and I'm not going to waste anymore time prolonging it!"
"But…" he pecked me on the lips to silence me,
"No buts either, un" he smirked and pulled away from me, stalking towards the bathroom, leaving me leaning against the wall with swollen lips and a shocked expression.
Rose: Hehe! Review please!
