Me: This is pretty much a pointless chapter... but its a set up for the next chapter...
Itachi: But she feels like she owes you guys an update...that's true.
Sasori: But perhaps several of the things are important...
Kakuzu: If I had a dime for every day she didn't update-
All of us: We get the point, Kakuzu!
Disclaimer: I no own.
I believe that I have lost some readers since what, chapter seven? Anyways, thanks for sticking with this those of you who have! I really appreciate it!
Special thanks to my reviewers and the rest of the stuff on the button thing! You guys are awesome!
"Kisame..." Kakuzu said.
"I know," he said coldly.
"How in hell did fuckin' bastard find out Sasori's damn name?" Hidan asked.
"That's what we're all wondering...especially since he didn't have a chance to check with Orochimaru," Kisame said.
"Hey, Itachi…" Kisame said.
"Hmmm?" Itachi grumbled sleepily, rolling over in the sleeping bag.
"That Shisui guy…"
"What about him?" Itachi muttered.
"He knew Sasori's name," Kisame said.
"Yeah, he'd obviously check up on me and find out that Sasori hangs out with us on the regular," Itachi said. "Why are you trying to start a conversation at two in the morning anyways?"
"Well the others are asleep and-"
"We're not asleep," Kakuzu spoke up.
"I was asleep yeah," Deidara muttered. "But then danna went to use the bathroom."
"He's a light sleeper," Sasori said.
"But I thought he slept like a fucking rock?" Hidan asked.
"You'd sleep like one too if the time differences were that big," Deidara groaned.
"So are you trying to give Itachi the sex talk?" Kakuzu asked. "If you give me fifty bucks, I'll take it off your hands."
"You covered that with me already- no let me rephrase that, you, Sasori, my mother and father, have covered that with me!" Itachi groaned.
"Really?" Deidara asked. "It was just danna and the guy who let me take stay at the garage who gave me the sex talk."
"I got the damn sex talk form fucking Kakuzu," Hidan snapped.
"Funny enough, so did I," Kisame said.
"Strangely enough…" Sasori muttered.
"Don't tell me that you heard it from him too," Deidara muttered, placing his head on Sasori's arm.
"No, I taught him that talk," Sasori said. There was an awkward silence.
"I hate you right now," Kisame muttered.
"I hate him too," Kakuzu said.
"He fucking taught you that damn speech," Hidan said.
"I didn't want to feel left out, damn it,"
"Yeah? Well I hate both of you," Itachi muttered, sprawling out on Deidara and Kakuzu, the blonde groaning.
"Itachi, don't suffocate Deidara," Sasori said.
"Thank you danna, yeah," Deidara muttered.
"If he dies, I will be questioned for being one of the last people with him and I will lose my job as a teacher,"
"On second thought, I take it back," Deidara muttered. "But you know I won't die like that, danna! I'm gonna go out with a bang! Like true art, yeah!"
"Not this again. I've told you; art is everlasting!"
"It is not! It's an explosion that lasts for a few moments and stuns the eyes!"
"Everlasting!"
"Fleeting!"
"Everlasting!"
"Fleeting!"
"Ever-!"
"Shut up!" they shouted at Deidara and Sasori. There was silence from the two before Deidara decided it was his job to break it.
"Get off me," he told Itachi, shoving him off of him and into Kakuzu's side. Itachi made a suffocating noise and Kakuzu looked at his side before rolling his eyes. Then Itachi grabbed Deidara's hand and easily pinned the blonde's hands to his sides, then proceeded to put most of his weight on him before lying flat on his chest.
"Itachi, you bastard! Get off of me!" Deidara snarled. "Danna!"
"Just push him off, Dei," Sasori said sleepily.
"He's fucking heavy, yeah!"
"You don't sound to mad about that,"
"Shut up, yeah!"
"Deidara…"
"Sasori-Danna!"
"Sasori-danna, damn it!" They all sat up and stared at Hidan, with the acceptation of Deidara and Itachi. They just turned their heads.
"What the hell…?" Kakuzu said.
"Indeed," Sasori said.
"Why…?" Kisame asked.
"I don't wanna know, yeah," Deidara said.
"I think we all agree on that," Itachi grumbled, collapsing heavily on Deidara, who groaned.
"Get off of me, damn it," Deidara said. Itachi let go of Deidara's wrists and rolled onto his side.
"He's always like that when he's tired," Kisame informed him.
"Like what?"
"Extremely clingy," Sasori said, sounding more like he was sleep talking then actually talking.
"You wouldn't think that at first glance, would you?" Kisame sighed.
"No, I didn't, yeah," Deidara muttered softly.
"Deidara's falling for Itachi," Kakuzu announced.
"I am not, damn it!"
"Shhh!" they shushed him. Deidara pouted and crossed his arms. Sasori turned around so he was on his stomach, his head facing the opposite way of Deidara and he put his arm over Deidara's chest in a manner so that his hand was on Deidara's shoulder furthest from him.
"Just sleep for right now and question him about it later," Sasori muttered. "I think you'll like his reaction."
"Why's that, yeah?" Deidara whispered, putting his hands on Sasori's arm.
"Because you'd act just like how he's going to if you ask him," Sasori smirked and the oldest members of the Akastuki who were present started laughing.
"You walked right into that!" Kisame snorted.
"Hell yeah!" Hidan said.
"The neighbors probably hate us," Kakuzu said. Sasori rolled his eyes.
"Speak for yourself," Sasori said.
"Ditto," Deidara muttered.
"Nng," Itachi said. They turned to look at the Uchiha. When they looked, he was a sleeping angel with a touch from of the devil himself.
"Let's go to sleep now…" Kisame sweat dropped.
"Mmm hmm," Deidara said.
"Yep," Kakuzu said.
"Uh huh," Sasori said.
"Couldn't have thought of a fucking better-"
"Hidan!"
"Fucking fine already, jeez…"
"Goodnight,"
"Goodnight,"
"Don't let the bed bugs-"
"Just fucking shut up and go the hell to sleep!" Hidan shouted. There was silence and then this time, they really did go to sleep.
Itachi's eyes fluttered open and he looked around him. He saw Kisame snoring loudly, Hidan talking in his sleep, Sasori with his hand trapped on Deidara's chest by one of Deidara's hand, and Deidara… Deidara was sleeping and his other hand was a pillow for Itachi's head.
Itachi felt himself blush and he got up slowly, staring at Deidara for a minute before going into Kisame's kitchen. He grabbed his jacket and cell phone. He stared at the number in front of him.
"Itachi?" Itachi jumped and turned around swiftly, regaining his cool when he saw it was just Sasori.
"Sasori…" Itachi said.
"What're you doing up so late? It's not like you when we're at Kisame's place," Sasori noted, digging through the cupboards. "Coffee?"
"Sure," Itachi shrugged.
"Are you going to actually drink it or just smell it?" Sasori asked.
"What do you care?"
"You shouldn't waste good coffee,"
"Since when does Kisame have good coffee?"
"I see your point," Sasori said. "So what are you doing up so early?"
"Don't know," Itachi shrugged. "Just couldn't sleep. What about you?"
"I woke up when you closed the door," Sasori said.
"I knew there was a reason Kisame ended up with whip cream on his face when he tried to put it on you as a prank…" Itachi said. Sasori smirked.
"Did you expect any less of me?"
"No, I expected Kisame to get thrown out of the room,"
"I was going to…but Hidan was there too," Sasori said. "And it was too early to be throwing people out of rooms."
"Too early for you?" Itachi scoffed.
"Don't look at me like that. I had only gotten an hour of sleep that night," Sasori said.
"How do you remember?" Itachi asked.
"Because it was hopefully the one and only time that I had ran into a wall and people had seen me do it," Sasori muttered, placing a cup of coffee in front of Itachi.
"You ran into a wall?" Itachi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't say that, you'd be a hypocrite," Sasori pointed out, taking a sip of the hot liquid. Itachi glared at him and inhaled the scent of the coffee.
"Ow!" Sasori and Itachi turned to a blonde sitting on the floor, rubbing his head.
"On second thought…" Sasori muttered.
"It never happened," Itachi muttered.
"Agreed," he nodded and they both turned back to their coffee.
"Man, what's up with you two?" Deidara muttered. "Why are you up so freaking early, yeah?"
"Because," Sasori said, taking a sip of coffee. Deidara stared at him blankly for a minute before yawning and taking the coffee from Sasori's hands.
"Thank you," he said, sitting down at the counter and drinking Sasori's coffee. Sasori rolled his eyes and took his coffee back.
"Drink Itachi's," Sasori said. "He's just smelling it." Deidara made a pouting face at his danna and obliged, taking Itachi's coffee.
"Hey," Itachi protested but he took no means to try and take the coffee back.
"Hey is for horses, Itachi," Kisame yawned. "Why's everyone up so early?"
"Itachi," Sasori said.
"Them, yeah," Deidara shrugged.
"Blah," Itachi said.
"'Blah'? That's the most un-Itachi like thing I've ever heard," Sasori said.
"Wasn't he awake awhile ago?" Kisame asked, poking him.
"You know how he is in the mornings," Sasori said. "Unresponsive and simply out of it."
"But he seemed fine up until Kisame came in, yeah," Deidara said.
"Hey, are you suggesting that I make him unresponsive and simply out of it?" Kisame asked. "I'm insulted." The rest chose to ignore him.
"I'm going to be gone for a couple of hours, Dei," Sasori was saying. "Keep out of trouble, won't you?"
"Do I have a choice, danna, yeah?" Deidara raised an eyebrow. "Where you going, yeah?"
"Out," Sasori said simply.
"So you're leaving with me with these guys, yeah?" Deidara asked.
"You could always go to Granny Chiyo,"
"I'll think on it, yeah," Deidara said.
"I'm gonna go out too," Itachi said.
"Anywhere I can go, yeah?" Deidara asked.
"No, I'm just going home and then a few places from there," Itachi said.
"Then why can't I go yeah?" Deidara asked.
"Because I'm doing a drug exchange and you'd be too obvious," Itachi said. Kisame stared at him, Sasori glared at him, and Deidara…well Deidara rolled his eyes.
"You fucking liar," Deidara rolled his eyes.
"Got it in one," Itachi smirked.
"That wasn't funny, Itachi," Sasori said, his glare unrelenting.
"Got that right," Kisame muttered.
"How'd you call it?" Itachi asked.
"Police chief's son? Perfect grades, supposedly perfect life, and an older brother?" Deidara scoffed. "If anything, you'd be doing drugs, not dealing them."
"And he'd better not be doing either of them," Sasori snapped.
"Relax, Sasori, I'm not," Itachi rolled his eyes. "And don't give me the speech about Deidara's probation." Deidara choked on his coffee and Sasori frowned.
"How'd you find out about that?" he asked.
"He's from Iwa," Itachi shrugged. "Probation originated there."
"Brat," Sasori muttered. "I'm out. I'll pick you up in a few hours, Dei."
"Alright danna," Deidara said.
"Hey, Sasori," Itachi called. Sasori paused and looked at the Uchiha.
"What?" he asked.
"Give me a ride home?" Itachi asked.
"Don't keep me waiting," Sasori walked out calmly, Itachi walking out after him after slipping his feat into his shoes.
"Did he go to bed with his clothes on?" Kisame asked.
"Probably, yeah," Deidara shrugged. "Either way it doesn't concern me…want some toast?"
"I'm going to tell you right now, Itachi, no more jokes like that," Sasori warned.
"Alright, I got it already," Itachi rolled his eyes. "Don't you think you're being a little to overprotective of him?"
"No. You know how clean Konoha is- especially compared to Iwagakure," Sasori snapped, starting the car up. "And your dad's the head of the police- I don't care how loose knit your family is. I am not letting Deidara out of my town range again if I can help it." Itachi was quiet for a minute.
"Those teaching jobs for the summer that you went on…they were to go see him, weren't they?" Itachi asked.
"Yes," Sasori said icily. "He landed himself in jail, believe it or not."
"I believe you," Itachi said. They glanced at each other before they started laughing.
"Man, I haven't argued with you like that since I moved here," Sasori snorted.
"I remember, I remember," Itachi snickered. "Let's see…I called you a dirty Iwa druggie, right?"
"That got me riled up…I don't think I'd gotten that riled up since Deidara landed himself in the slammer for the first time!" Sasori grinned. Then they faded into their stoic selves.
"That was very unlike us…" Itachi commented.
"Indeed it was…" Sasori said.
"We won't tell anyone about this conversation…"
"Not a soul…"
"So…"
"So…"
"Where are you going?" Itachi asked.
"To get something for Dei," Sasori said.
"He obviously didn't know that…"
"It's a surprise. What about you?"
"Just the normal spots for me, you know…the park, the ice cream parlor… teach Deidara how to dance, will you?"
"I'll get around to it," Sasori said.
Me: Like I said, pretty much pointless chapter but it's a set up for the next one! I promise!
Itachi: She's crazy...has anyone noticed that?
Me: Anyways, please review!
Deidara: And say art is fleeting!
Sasori: Everlasting, dang it brat!
Deidara: Fleeting!
Sasori: Ever-
Kakuzu and Hidan: Just shut the hell up!
Kisame: I believe there's more cussing in this story then kaitouahiru...or most people for that matter, have used in their life...
Me (sweat drops): I think you're right...so please review...and tell us whose right, Dei or Sasori?
