A/N: YAY! Chapter 10! I didn't think this story would reach 10 chapters. YAAAAAYYYY!!!!! Oh. There's a question that keeps popping up in my reviews asking whether or not that the Uchiha brothers have been getting beaten by their parents since they were little, or if it was just some "out-of-the-blue" thing. Ok. They got abused since they were little kids. Yep.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto.

--------------------------

Deidara and Itachi reached their school, and went to their classes. Just as Itachi's first period class had started, a message came over the intercom.

"Will Uchiha Itachi please come down to the Guidance Office."

Itachi slowly got up from his seat and walked out of his classroom, down the staircase and into the Guidance Office. When he got there, there were a few people already in the room. There was Maria the social worker, Kara the guidance counsler, and Bob the principal. Itachi started to get really nervous.

"Why are all these people here?" he thought.

"Sit down, Itachi. There are some things we need to discuss." Bob said. Itachi nodded, taking a seat that was farthest from the three adults. Maria opened her mouth.

"Itachi, the law requires that I inform the victim's school about what is happening in a situation like this. I told the Head of the Ninja Academy also, for Sasuke." Itachi got a little mad at this. He didn't want the whole world to know about his problem.

"I don't see why they have to know..." Itachi said sarcastically. Kara raised an eyebrow, opened her mouth to say something, and was interrupted by Bob. Bob, unlike Kara and Maria, wasn't ver fond of Itachi. He thought of the Uchiha as an attention-seeking troublemaker, since he and Diedara were frequent visitors to the detention room.

"Listen up, Uchiha. Stop acting like a little brat. Just do what you're told for once." Bob said. Maria gave Bob a dirty look.

"That is no way to talk toa student. We're here to help Itachi, not make things worse for him." she said. Itachi smirked. Kara began to speak again.

"Now what Maria and I think you should do is come down here once a week. You know, just to talk and share how you feel. It would really help alot." Kara said. Itachi shook his head.

"You just want me to spill my guts, don't you? You're gonna wait until I say the wrong thing so when we go to court, you can convince the judge to put me in some foster home."

"No, Itachi! That's not it!" Maria tried to explain. Itachi got up out of his seat in an angry rage.

"Don't lie to me." he said, leaving the room.

"You brat! Get back he--" Bob was interrupted by Maria, who shot him another mean look.

"Let him go." she said.

LUNCH TIME yay!

----------------------

Itachi and Deidara found a table and sat together like they always did. Deidara smiled at him.

"How are you, Ita-chan?" he asked. Itachi raised an eyebrow.

"Ita-chan?" Itachi repeated, confused.

"It's your new nickname, yeah." Deidara brushed Itachi's bangs out of his face. "I think it's cute." Itachi stuck out his tounge.

"It's girly, Deidara!" he said playfully. Deidara laughed a bit.

AFTER SCHOOL

--------------------

Deidara and Itachi walked to Deidara's house. Every few minutes, Deidara would look over at Itachi, just staring at him while they walked.

"He's so beautiful." he thought. It took every ounce of will power Deidara had to keep from reaching out and holding Itachi's hand.

"Umm...Deidara?" Itachi said, his voice pulling Deidara out of his little fantasy.

"Hmm, yeah?" he blushed a little bit when his eyes met Itachi's eyes.

"Why are you um...staring at me..?" Itachi asked. He didn't notice the blush spread across Deidara's face even though he was looking straight at him.

"Um..Oh! Just spacing out I guess! Nothing to worry about, yeah." he answered. Itachi nodded and the boys proceeded to walk home.

I made this chapter a bit longer...I think. Anyways, I think the ItaDei-ness is really cute
