Title: Cherry Lips

Chapter 10

It's a curse

By: Deidara No Danna

I sat down on a bench, thinking of how I'm going to tell, Sasori and the other guy...Damion about my past? I should leave my sister out, they don't need to know about her, or why our names are very similar, well I sorta adopted her name. Even though she was a few years older then me, we could pass off as twins. If weren't for these cursed ears, and tail. Rexy I trusted, even though it took about two years to gain that trust.

"Yuuki Jintetsu?" she looked up at the sound of her 'name' she seen a man in a uniform, an ANBU uniform. These people are law around here, always demanding respect, even if the chief was an Uchiha, it still didn't change that they are... well stuck up.

"Yes?" I asked, wanting to say 'Jack ass at the end,' oh how I wish I can beat the crap out of them, they got on my case a long time ago when I was with my mother, and Ino. I made the mistake of following Ino, and she stole some things from the store we were at, Ino blamed it on me, gave me house arrest. Oh how sweet it would be just to give that feeling back to her, all well it will get to her soon. I just have to wait.

"Someone has requested to see you right away."

"Why couldn't this someone come out and say it themselves?"

"Are you backing down?"

"What if I was?"

"What the hell is the deal with the ANBU today? They've been asking a lot of questions around here," Rexy said off-handedly.

"Really?" I asked her turning towards her, but keeping an eye on the ANBU.

"Yeah, went around the school earlier, asking where you were," Mike put in, now I was offically confused, why would they want me? Who sent them?

"Well they found me," I said and turned towards the ANBU, "What the hell do you want?"

"Just as I said," he said and motioned me to follow.

"I have something to discuss with my mother first," I said, I should come out clean with the two before I go anywhere with this guy.

"Granted," I rolled my eyes and pushed him out of my way, I wasn't asking permission, I was telling him.

"She didn't ask for your permission you know," Mike put in, "Watch what you say around her," he gave a warning, I wasn't that far away from them, I could still hear what they were saying, until I ran into something. Guess I should watch where I'm going...

"That is the second time you ran into me, hmm," There it was! The mocking voice! How I hate that!

"What's with the ANBU?" Sasori asked, finally something to even me out a bit, I could use his voice to drown the blondes.

"Donno, he said that someone wanted to see me," I said stepping far away from, Damion.

"Oh, so your 'That' kind of girl," I was ready to rip his head off.

"Don't push your luck," me and Sasori said at the same time, I looked at him strangely, he did the same, "How does that always happen?" we did it again.

"Back to that old habit?" a more cheery voice, one that I enjoyed more the Sasori's, asked.

"Guess," and there we go again, quick! Give me something else to say!

"Heh, that never gets old with you two," he said smiling, was I mistaken, or does his skin look kinda blue? It must be the trick of the light, yeah, that's it. Never thought that the tan Kisame would have blue skin, he loves his tan skin, and he is very muscular, wow it's been so long since I've last seen him, he certainly grew, heh, I remember that he used to be so skinny that the wind might tople him over. Used to bug him about that to, but now, they are afraid to even make that joke anymore, since he could practically crush them with his bare hands, or finger. I can still make the joke, he knows better to mess with me, I have lived with Tsunade all my life, it's surprising that her drinking habit hasn't rubbed off on me.

"Chicken noodles," we did it again, god damn it! Kisame busted out laughing, I thought I asked you to give me something else to say? Please help me come up with something so random that Sasori won't know about it! And no, Purple Monkey's won't work either, or Fanfiction rocks!

"What's your next words?" Kisame asked smiling, is it me or did his teeth get sharper? No, can't be...

"Nothing," I said, while Sasori said, "Bug off," unusual enough that we said those at the same time. Kisame chuckled at that, and waved his hand for us to follow him.

"Tsunade asked me to bring you three to her office, so let's go before she skins me alive," he said.

"I remember you used to be so skinny, you were like a tooth pick," I smiled, walking beside him.

"Your going to get killed!" Sasori called out, "You could crush you with his finger!" Kisame laughed at my joke, and ruffled my hair.

"You were saying?" I asked behind me, no answer came, so I kept teasing my old friend, while the two worried behind us. "You used to be so pale to, I almost mistaken you for a bucket the last time at the beach when Itachi, and Hidan buried you in the sand."

"That was a long time ago," Kisame stood up for himself.

"Yeah, but you were way cooler back then, some nights we would stay up all night playing video games, and eating junk food."

"We have to do that some time!"

"You still play video games?"

"Heck yeah, I whipped Deidara's ass so many times."

"Who's Deidara again?" I asked unsure.

"The blonde kid behind us," I looked back and seen that Damion was silently glaring at me and Kisame, well mainly me.

"Oh, here I've been calling you Damion this whole time, oh and you owe me for saving your ass from getting suspended," I said and turned around to talk to Kisame again.

"How did you get Damion from Deidara?" Kisame asked me.

"Not good with names when it's people I don't like," I said with a shrug.

"What has he done to make you not like him?"

"Got yelled at for three hours straight from Sluggy, and been put through training for about six hours."

"Your mother still tough as nails then?"

"Yeah."

"Heard you almost got killed in her office yesterday, what the hell happened?"

"It started with Hidan."

"Figures."

"Yeah, hey remember that Hidan used to have his hair all spiked up and in all different directions?"

"Oh yeah, now he has it slicked back," Kisame laughed, "You called him..what was it, Spike?"

"No, used to call him, Devil Cactus," we laughed, "D.C, for short." (lol Dragon Cave, yeah, random^^; )

"Oh yeah, remember how Kakuzu was back then?"

"Yeah, he used to be so happy, and go lucky, always taking any dare that we gave him," I smiled we reached the doors to the office, "We called him, Maw Watched Ab Boy, saying that it was an Indian name meaning, 'Man who does anything for a buck' did he ever figure that one out?"

"No, he still thinks that what it really means," Kisame laughed, "That name was completely gibberish!" Kisame laughed.

"Well, now that you two have caught up, it's time for the three to discuss something rather important," we looked over at Tsunade, she was standing in the door way of her office.

"Yes Lady Tsunade," Kisame said, he smiled at me and walked out. Me, Sasori, and...Damn forgot his name again...anyways we walked into my mother's office.

"Neko, Sasori, and... Darin?" Tsunade asked the blonde.

"Deidara," he corrected, oh so that's his name...

"Right, Darice, Neko, tell them," Damion looked pissed. Sasori took a seat on one of the seats, same with Damion, Tsunade remained standing by her desk. I stood in front of them, and started telling the two about my past, leaving everything out about my sister.

"Then I was saved by a man with the last name Hatake." I ended, they all were very quiet, then my voice starting saying 'Puck up and kiss me!' for once it wasn't me, but...What the fucking hell! Damion has my voice as his ring tone? Tsunade looked pissed, and aimed a very deadly glare at Damion. He answered his cell. She looked towards me, I looked over at her, saying that I didn't know where he got it from. When me and Sasori were little, and she would often wonder why we were quiet, we told her that 'she interrupted our conversation'. She asked 'what conversation', we said 'our conversation about Art', then got back to our silent conversation. She picked up on our words, and discovered that we stumbled on more things then a normal conversation went on in two hours.

Me and her started our silent conversation, running over topics like, 'How does he have your voice on his cell?' to 'Who was the man that save you again?' Damion was finished his conversation with who ever it was on the phone and looked at me and my mother confused. Sasori followed our conversation but said nothing.

"Why did you keep this from me the whole time when we were younger?" Sasori asked out loud, "When you only knew Deidara for like how long? Two weeks?" he sounded pissed.

"I didn't want any of you to find out in the first place," I answered looking at Sasori.

"You could have told me, I would have understood," he said.

"Just didn't want you to see me differently," I said and looked up, "Never really had many friends back in the orphanage, so I just didn't want to ruin it by telling you it was a curse being half cat."

"I always figured you were hiding something from me," Sasori said, "Ever since the time you drank that red liquid. I know it wasn't Cherry syrup, you never drank it like that, only when it was on ice cream...I just realize, you love cherries."

"Took you this long to figure it out?" I asked him. I love cherries, they were like a treat to me, same with strawberries, blueberries, and all kinds of other berries, but I really liked cherries better. Never really had any good fruit, only apples, oranges, and banana's that was it back in the orphanage. Sasori reached into his pocket and pulled out a small zip bag full of cherries and tossed it over to me.

"Already pitted," he added, I'm guessing he forgives me for not telling him sooner. I smiled and ate one of the cherries, and put the rest in my pocket saving them for later.

"Everything is cherries with her," Tsunade said off handedly.

"Everything is fighting with you," I challenged.

"Brat."

"Bitch."

"Fucker."

"Cunt."

"Why you little..!"

"Angel of darkness!"

"You..."

"Owe me five hundred!"

"Here!" she growled and handed me five hundred dollars.

"Lady Tsunade, an ANBU is here to see you," a voice from the small speaker box said.

"I'm busy!" Tsunade growled.

"He says it urgent."

"Fine, send him in," she growled out, "Deimos, Sasori, Neko, leave."

"Deidara," Damion mumbled.

"What ever, Derrida, just leave," we walked out, passing the guy on the way, I noticed that when we were in the office that Damion was scratching his hand, and stuffing them back in his pockets. Wonder what is up? And is Sasori a bit stiff?

"Hey, your alive after all!" Hidan called running over to me and giving me a tight hug.

"Yes, but your killing me now!" I tried to breathe, but he was crushing my lunges.

"Oh, sorry!" he said and put me down, I inhaled deeply to give my lunges much needed air. What the heck was on his arms? It looked like cuts...and his cloaks smells of..old blood.

"That never seems to get old does it?" Sasori asked, reffering to the money.

"Hell no," I smiled.

"What?"

"Me and mom would arrgue, then when she says 'You'.."

"Oh right, you would say 'Owe me something bucks,' then she would hand it right over while she is still pissed," Hidan smiled laughing a bit.

"Yeah, still works too, Devil Cactus," I smiled, he looked at me strangely.

"Haven't heard that name in such a long time," he smiled.

"Hey, remember we used to tease Kisame about him being skinny?"

"Yeah,

"Hey! Who is that?" he called suddenly, hiding his hands in his pockets, and nodded towards the building. We turned around and seen the ANBU walking towards us.

"You finished kid?" he growled, I growled back, this guy has a bone to pick with me, and I don't like it.

"Don't push your luck," all four of us said to him, Hidan looked more threateningly at the guy, Sasori looked bored, and Damion sounded...sad?

"Please, what can she do to me?" the guy asked.

"Have you met her mother?" Hidan said, "Scary as hell!"

"No, I haven't, but that bitch in there sure is scary," he said jabbing a thumb behind him.

"That's her mother!" the three shouted at him.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I SKIN YOU ALL ALIVE!" Tsunade called from her office, the ANBU jumped and stepped away from the office, probably hoping she didn't hear his earlier comment. "THINK TWICE BEFORE CALLING ME A FUCKING BITCH YOU CUNT!" Me, Hidan, Sasori, and Damion all busted out laughing, while the ANBU was pissing his pants, literally! "SHUT UP!"

"Scatter!" I called and we ran in different directions.

Yay another chapter! Now, who is this person that wants to see Neko? And what is happening with the Akatsuki members? Only time will tell! Later!
