Bookworm: I'm sooo bored!

Sasori: Than stop complaining about and write the freaking story!

Bookworm: Why do you keep showing up EVERY author note?

Sasori: Because it's fun to annoy you...sometimes at least.

Bookworm: *Snorts* Baka

Time Skip: Three Days

It had been three days since Kiku came into the Akatsuki and so far, she made it quite clear she hated every single one of them.

Right now Deidara was sitting on the couch, and Kiku was next to him, still. She rarely left his side.

Sasori entered the livingroom and waved a hand getting the elder blonde's attention. "You want to spar? The rain isn't as heavy as it was yesterday."

Deidara nodded and arose, "Sure, let me get some kunai's and-"

"But Nii-san!" Kiku broke in, "You said you were going to spar with me later!"

Confusion danced across the bombers face, "Ne, really?"

"Uh-huh!" She nodded her head hastily.

Deidar glanced at Sasori and rubbed the back of his neck, "Sorry Danna, guess I'm already sparring with something."

Sasori blinked, then it suddenly hit him. Kiku just stole Deidara. And he didn't complain!

Now it was obvious was Kiku had been trying to do ever since they first came and got her. She was trying to build a stone wall between her Nii-san and everyone in the Akatsuki!

She wouldn't sleep anywhere else unless with him, wouldn't let him do anything with the other members, and stuck to his side like a leech.

And if he was just realizing this, then most of the Akatsuki must've figured it out and couldn't accuse her since she was always by Deidara's side; using him as a sheild.

"Dinner's done!" Came Konan's call breaking up the crackling intension between the red and blonde. Sasori glared holes in the back of Kiku's head as she followed Deidara into the kitchen. He wished to kami that he could poison her slowly and painfully, but her being his partner's sister made that desire restricted.

Taking a deep breath, he went inside the kitchen wanting someone (mostly him) to set Kiku straight. Little did he knew, his want was going to be granted.

-Heh, I would be a bitch to end this chapter right now but I'm not-

Everyone was gathered around the dinner table eating, it was pretty much normal. Hidan was ranting, Kakuzu was ruefully listening, Kisame was talking to Itachi who occasionally replied, Zetsu was silent surprisingly along with Pein and Konan.

Sasori glanced around the table of S-ranked criminals and felt the sickness of boredom creeping up his spine.

Turning his head over to Deidara, he decided to try and have a conversation. "Why don't you cut your hair?" It was a crappy way to start one, but hey, this wasn't a competition or anything.

Deidara squinted his eye, "Why do you cut yours, un?"

"Because guys have short hair."

Itachi heard that comment and shot him one of the most scariest glares he had ever seen. Deidara snorted. "Guys can have long or short hair, hmm!"

Before Sasori could reply, Kiku broke in. "Shut up and stop teasing Nii-san, cho." She growled walking over to sink to wash her dishes.

The mood went sour and everything became silent, then the unexpected happened.

Deidara snapped his head over to his Imoto, "Why don't you stop being a complete pain in my ass, yeah!"

Her eyes widened and she froze.

"For the past three days you have been nothing but an inconsiderate brat controlling my every movement and shooting off the most rudest of things to my Danna, and everyone else here!" He snarled bitterly, "I've tried being patient, but this was the last straw Kiku. These people may be a pain in my ass, but that doesn't entitle you to ridicule them and then hide behind me, un!"

"It isn't fair!" She screeched at him, her eyes brimmed with tears, "We were suppose to be in the country right now watching the stars like you promised me!" She pointed a finger at the startled Akatsuki accusingly, "But they came and forced you join them!" A sob escaped her, "Nothing's ever fair! Not to Kaa-san, not to me, defiantly not to you!"

The plate fell from her hands and shattered on the ground as she dropped into a low crouch. Both her knees and face pressed firmly against her hands as she broke down.

Deidara was out of his chair in an instant and had his arms wrapped around his weeping Imoto. No one heard his whispers as he spoke to her, but what ever it was, it got her to respond and hug him back.

They all saw her face, filled with tears and utter sadness and guilt as she stared at them all.

"I'm sorry!" She cried burying her face into Deidara's shoulder, "So sorry..."

No one moved, no one spoke. They just sat there in the mind numbing silence.

Deidara held Kiku close and began to stroke her hair, just like Kaa-san did either of them were upset. His treatment worked for after a minute or two, the sobs were reduced to hiccups and occasinal trembling.

"I'm sorry," He said as she looked at him confused, "I'm sorry things didn't go the way we planned Pudding, but at least we're here together. We can watch the stars from the roof together, that promise I can keep, yeah."

"O-okay..." She hiccuped rubbing her puffy eyes. Deidara held up two fingers together and there was a poof of smoke. Both siblings were gone leaving the Akatsuki in a total shock.

"So in a show of hands, who knows what the hell Kiku was talking about?" Asked Kisame glancing around the table.

Hidan scoffed, "She's fucking upset because things didn't go her way."

The shark narrowed his eyes at him, "Not that, the part when she was saying it wasn't fair. You know, to her, her mom, and Deidara?"

"I was fucking there!" He snapped. "And why are you asking us?"

Konan bit her lower lip, "The day Kiku arrived, she and Deidara were in the kitchen and when I made a comment about their parents, the atmosphere went sour and they both left." She said tentively sounding unsure whther she should've mentioned it.

All eyes went to Leader-sama.

His eyebrow twitched, "What?"

"Go on Pein in the ass!" Hidan called, "Shed some fucking light on the subject!"

Pein gave the zealot a furious glare, "For your information zealot, I don't know jack about Deidara, I couldn't find anything about him. Only that he was a member of the Explosion Corps and a student of the Third Tsuchikage: Onoki. He stole a kinjutsu, defected from Iwagakure, joined a band of rogue's, and was brought here. I didn't even know he had a sister."

"So more or less he could be a fucking prince and we wouldn't know." Sasori grumbled cutting Pein's long description into a sentence. "His life's a mystery."

"Couldn't you have used his kekkei genkai to back track his family tree and ultimately him?" Itachi suggested.

Pein sighed, "Tried that. It's like he never existed up until he became a student."

"Do you know how he became Onoki's pupil?"

"Only that he asked Deidara. Not the other way around."

"Why don't we just fucking ask him?" Hidan whined impatiently.

Sasori was fixing to tell them the promise Deidara and Kiku made, but quickly clamt his mouth shut not wanting to arouse even more suspicion on his partner.

"Shouldn't you do a background check for every member that joins?" Kakuzu asked, "Deidara could've been a spy or something."

"He was marked as a rogue, he had wanted posters, couldn't really ignore that fact that there was some kid running around with one of the most rarest kekkei genkai's I've ever seen." Leader-sama replied icily standing up, "Now this 'meeting' is over." Then he went with a poof.

Bookworm: How's that 'Sori?

Sasori: I'v seen better *Yawn*

Bookworm: *Bristles* Why don't you make your own damn story than!

Sasori: I will. Give me that damn keyboard and-

Bookworm: No one 'cept me is touching my keyboard!

Sasori: Then how am I to write a story then?

Bookworm: *Waves dismissively* You're an S-ranked criminal, figure it out yourself.

ReViEw~!
