The Best Thing

By: Silverwolf

Itachi steps into the building followed by Deidara. The bomber 'shoots' Hidan a highly annoyed look when the Jashinist asks where the pair have been. Kisame laughs a bit, "enjoy patrol with Deidara?" Itachi glares towards Kisame silencing him instantly. He and Deidara both disappear from sight. "Leave them be." The rest of the Akatsuki turn towards their Leader in silence. Pein doesn't bother even asking where the pair has been. Both Itachi and Deidara seem to silently make a pact not to tell of the mornings events. The raven male seems to go in search of food with the blonde not that far behind.

The pair eat what the find in silence. At least until the bomber makes a point to annoy Itachi. The raven male responds by tilting the blonde out of his chair with a foot. Deidara growls low as he sits along the floor. Everyone that entered the room laughs. Itachi rises from the chair with Deidara swearing at him.

The raven male steps away silently. The blonde throws something at Itachi but misses. The Akatsuki start laughing once again. Deidara steps from the room pouting in silence. The sound that carries with the blonde's leaving reminds Itachi of hyena.

The bomber is swift to wander away from the Akatsuki again. This time he notices Itachi leaving as well. Though the blonde didn't wish to waste time on following the Uchiha.

Deidara makes his wat towards Iwa with a slight grin. It doesn't take long for the blonde to reach the border. He spots Kurotsuchi among the other shinobi patroling the border. Deidara tilts his head slightly before moving his position. Several of Iwa's shinobi move towards Kurotsuchi. The blonde tilts his head. Apparently Iwa was running some kind of excerise as night was falling.

Kurotsuchi takes down a pair without hestitation. Deidara grins a moment as the raven kunoichi changes her position to bring down another shinobi. Kurotsuchi then decides to begin her search for the rest of the team that should be 'attacking'. The kunoichi finishes the rest without flaw. Kurotsuchi pants a bit when the excerise comes to an end.

"As usual, beautifully done Kurotsuchi." The kunoichi nods towards her grandfather. "At times I wonder how your former academy partner would be as a shinobi of this village instead of the traitor. Then again though gifted he chose the most destructive path for his young life." Kurotsuchi turns away from the Tsuchikage so that he doesn't see her expression.

The kunoichi hated it when someone from the village 'popped off' about Deidara. Kurotsuchi turns back when she's called by her partner. Atkatsuchi doesn't have much to say to the kunoichi. Kurotsuchi is swift to take her leave as a cool breeze brings her to shiver.

The raven kunoichi smirks as she feels something wrap around her shoulders. She places her hand along the Akatuski cloak. "Dei." The bomber places an arm around Kurotsuchi in a reply. Kurotsuchi turns towards Deidara. "I didn't think you'd be this early." Deidara shrugs, "is it a bad thing?" Kurotuschi shakes her head. The kunoichi notices the wind-bunned skin along the other shinobi's arms. "Come on." The blonde follows as Kurotsuchi pulls him along silently. The kunoichi is swift to pull the blonde inside her door behind her.

Kurotuschi turns towards Deidara. As her lips lock with the blonde's own the sable cloak falls to the floor. The kunoichi squeaks a bit when she feels Deidara pull her against him. The bomber keeps the kunoichi against him until she shivers. "Dei. You're cold." The blonde shinobi shrugs slightly. Kurotsuchi pulls Deidara to her bed. Deidara shakes his head lightly. The kunoichi laughs, "what, you didn't protest what occurred last time." Deidara places his forehead against Kurotsuchi's shoulder. "That's no reason to protest." Kurotsuchi laughs and kisses the blonde a bit roughly. Deidara pulls Kurotsuchi closer to him. The bomber is quick to take control of the kiss as the kunoichi starts to strip the blonde. Deidara doesn't seem to mind as he bites at Kurotsuchi's lip a bit. The raven kunoichi smirks a moment as the blonde brings her back against his skin. "I love you, even if you claim you bring me trouble." Deidara snickers a moment before kissing the kunoichi, "trouble or not, I love you. And I'll keep coming back around until I die, yeah." Kurotsuchi hides against the blonde's shoulder silently. Crystal eyes close to the feeling of Kurotsuchi's breath against Deidara's skin.

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching for a way to
Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me
You're so close where do you end where do I begin?
Always pushing and pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me
I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered
North of gravity head up in the stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Walk on broken glass make my way through fire
These are the things I would do for love
Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

You could be the best thing about me
What if you're the best thing about me?

[Chorus]
