Chapter 11

"Sakura-chaaaaaaaaaaaan! Why are you going to bed so early?" Deidara whined as he kept poking her shoulder.

"It's one in the morning you moron" Sasori explained impassively, as he started to roll out his Akatsuki sleeping bag next to Sakura's.

"You guys are party poopers, yeah" Deidara sighed, and looked around.

"HEY! Why is everyone going to bed, yeah?!" Deidara exclaimed. Hidan threw his slipper at him.

"Shut up, blondie, or you'll end up being the next sacrifice to Jashin-sama!" he hissed, while burying himself into the sleeping bag. Kakuzu grunted in agreement. Deidara pouted, rubbing his head.

"Damn religious man…" He murmured. His blue eye caught the movement of a figure coming towards him and he turned his head.

Itachi had his sleeping bag under his arm. He stopped right next to Sakura. Deidara's eyes widened.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He sailed through the air, in slow motion, extending his limbs towards the empty spot on Sakura's right.

THUD

Itachi looked down at Deidara, who was planted face first in front of him. The blond snaked his arms around Sakura's pink sleeping bag and held it firmly. Slowly, he brought his head up to meet the Uchiha's gaze.

"…." Itachi turned around and walked around the blonde and then placed his sleeping bag horizontally, above Sakura, Deidara and Sasori's spot.

Deidara glared as the Uchiha flashed him a smug smirk and laid down. Kisame took up the spot on Itachi's other side and soon all the Akatsuki were set up.

Deidara's lone blue eye never left Itachi's form. He would be damned if he let his guard down!

"Bastard…" He muttered. Then, a light bulb flicked on as he realized something.

"I don't have a sleeping bag…yeah…" He whispered to himself. Deidara now teetered on the edge of leaving Sakura to fend for herself against the hot, elder Uchiha, or to stay where he was and protect her….and be as uncomfortable as ever, freezing with no blanket.

Deidara's eyes darted near the stuff. It was just a few steps away….Deidara waited though. I'll give it ten minutes, until he is asleep, and THEN get my stuff. Haha, I'm brilliant, yeah!

Deidara smiled as he inhaled the sweet scent of strawberries from Sakura's sleeping bag. She always did smell like Strawberries…..even her hair….

Meanwhile….

A deadly aura seemed to kill nearby daisies. The aura's origin? Just a certain someone…..

"That bastard! What the hell does he think he is doing to my Sakura!" Sasuke hissed through gritted teeth. He didn't notice it, but he was clenching his fists so hard, his hands started to bleed.

A lovely and quite colorful set of murmurs and mutters followed, as he sat there watching. Of course, he wasn't going to DO anything….yet. He couldn't blow his cover….though he had a feeling Itachi was still watching him out of the corner of his eye…..

Okay…I'll gooooooooo NOW yeah! Deidara slowly shifted, removing his arms from their grasp around Sakura's bag and quietly tip toed towards his bag. With a quick swipe, Deidara grabbed his bag and pillow and hurriedly walked back to his spot…..

And then the floor beneath him seemed to vanish….

THUD Deidara groaned as he opened his eyes, and came face to face with….Sasori…in a very awkward position…

"Ahaha…hi…danna…" He smiled weakly. Sasori stared at him blankly……three…..two…..one….

"GET THE HELL OFF ME YOU FUZZBAG!!" Deidara sailed over Sakura's form and crashed right into his claimed sleeping spot…..which was occupied?

"OOMPH!"

Deidara groaned again, and cursed, looking at the form that he landed upon.

"get. Off." It spoke quietly, but with a venomous twist. Deidara looked up into….red eyes?

He couldn't make himself move. For one, he didn't have a clue as to who he had landed on….and second…THEY were in HIS spot.

He glared back into the red eyes.

"Hey buddy, you are in MY spot next to MY Sakura-chan. So skidaddle, yeah!" He demanded sharply, feeling a wave of confidence fill him.

"…" Next thing Deidara knew, he was back into the same wall Sakura threw him into earlier that evening for touching her boob.

Though, none of the other Akatsuki seemed to care that their artistic member was being beaten around. Each slept in their bags soundly, without even twitching. Those bastards.

Deidara stood up, taking his pillow and sleeping bag with him as he stomped back over to his spot. He loomed over the red eyed person and glared angrily.

"You want a fight, yeah? Then bring it on bitch!" He roared. A bible hit him in the face, though.

"Deidara, you ass, shut the hell up!" Hidan growled. Deidara glared at him, picked up the Jashin Bible, and chucked it at the person in his spot. They dodged.

"Fucking ridiculous….yeah." Deidara took out his handy dandy lighter, and knelt down to the person. In a flash, he ignited the sucker on fire.

"Projectile Vomit Jutsu!!" A voice boomed, and the once burning person in a bag was now covered in the atrocious smelling stomach fluids of….our favorite shark man, Kisame.

Deidara backed away, disgusted.

"That was sick, yeah!" Sakura shifted in her bag and finally sat up. She made a face when she smelt the thing next to her. The lights turned on shortly and all the Akatsuki members were staring at…..a burnt, puked up pillow with red eyes painted on the cover.

"…wtf…" Tobi commented.

Sakura sprung up from her place, bringing her bag and pillow with her, and stood next to a pissed off Sasori, who was glaring at Deidara.

Everyone then turned their cranky, negative energy towards Deidara, who stood their dumbfounded.

"H-Hey! It wasn't a pillow before! It dodged my Bible attack, believe meeee, yeah!" Deidara pleaded. They ignored him as everyone jumped on the poor blonde. Sakura though stood with Sasori who watched on with a satisfied and sadistic grin plastered on his face.

"Ano…I think I am going to go home…I think this is too much for me to handle…that and I feel kinda sick…" Sakura admitted sheepishly. Sasori turned to look at her.

"If you must, though you will miss one spectacular show if you do…" He nodded in Deidara's direction. Sakura sighed.

"I think I can afford to miss it. Anyway, tell Leader that I apologize for my early leave and thank him too! It was fun. See you tomorrow!" With that Sakura walked over to her stuff and shoved it all in her backpack. She picked up the stuff and walked towards the backdoor.

She walked outside, into the fresh crisp night. It was probably around….two in the morning. She sighed and adjusted her backpack on her shoulders, while walking home…

"Sakura." Sakura stopped and turned.

"….Sasuke?"

Sasuke walked up to her, hands in his pocket and a cool expression on his face.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Uhm…obviously walking home….How about you? Do you normally walk around at 2 a.m. in the morning?"

"Hn."

"Not an answer, Uchiha…"

"Bite me." Sakura rolled her eyes and continued on her way. She noticed Sasuke following her at her side.

"….Are you stalking me again?" She asked.

"….no. I am doing what any gentlemen would do and walking you home." He stated.

"Because you were in the neighbor hood and decided to be a good citizen?"

"Hn."

"DAMMIT SASUKE THAT ISN'T AN ANSWER!"

He smirked as she shook her head in irritation.

Five minutes later:

"….so…"

"hn?"

"….I thought I saw chicken hair in the window earlier…was that you?"

"…Aa."

"…..Is that a yes or a no?"

"..yes."

"so you ARE stalking me. I thought you were gay thou—"

"I AM NOT GAY!"

"….."

"I was just making sure no one raped you while you stayed there…."

"…..you know I can handle myself…"

"Yes, but you were surrounded by horny men in their territory."

"and you care why….?"

"Because, you are MINE and only MINE." Sasuke stopped, since they were at her house anyway, and stared at her. He would of hoped she would get all, 'awww you were jealous' and possibly even fangirlish on him, but….it didn't look like that would be the case….

"I belong to NO ONE!" She slapped him upside the head and proceeded to walk to her front door. Sasuke stared at her, slightly shocked.

"…ah…Wait!" Sakura didn't feel like waiting though and reached for her door handle.

"I said wait." Sasuke said, holding the door closed with one hand and his other on her shoulder. She shrugged it off and whipped her face in his direction.

"Look, Sasuke-kuuuun, it is almost 2:30 a.m. in the morning, I haven't had much sleep tonight, and there is school in less than 4 hours. Now, can you please let me go so I can GO. TO. SLEEP!"

"….in a minute." She groaned, and leaned against the door, tired.

"What do you want from m—mph…" Sakura's sea green eyes widened as she felt soft, slightly parted lips catch her own in a kiss. She felt his hands snake around her waist, and pull her closer to his warm body. Though, kind of unexpected, it was nice….

HELL YEAH! SASUKE KISSED US! WHOO HOO!Inner Sakura cheered. Sakura slowly brought her arms up around his neck and played with the soft raven hair she often wondered about. Surprisingly, it wasn't odd, or crunchy with hair gel or anything. What an odd natural hair…style…She thought, deepening the kiss.

She felt his hands brush across her back and the sound of a car passing by broke her out of her stupor. She opened her eyes again and pulled away from him.

"Uh...gotta go." She said quickly, grabbing her pillow and escaping into the house. Sasuke stood there, staring at the now closed door with a dazed look in his eyes.

He would have appreciated it more if he knew it was his first kiss that Sakura had claimed…though Naruto did the honor when they were first became Genin. Ugg...well it was close enough. He hadn't kissed anyone else after that incident, despite the many slut faced girls that threw themselves in his lap.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair, and walked back towards his house.

Well, it took a forever time of waiting, but…I guess it was worth it. He smirked.

When he arrived home, he entered through his bedroom window, being it was the least distracting way to get back in. He smiled happily as he plopped down on his navy blue bed comforter and closed his eyes.

"You look happy…." Sasuke's eyes snapped open and trailed over to his window….

The dark figure of a man crouched down on his window sill, as his long raven hair blew in the wind. He wouldn't have cared about this though….but what drew him into a panic filled state of horror was just one little detail.

Blood red eyes shined as the man jumped down from the sill and landed at the foot of his bed. Those gleaming evil eyes concentrated on only him.

"Foolish little brother…."

Deidara: CHOMG!

Sasori: -raised eyebrow-

Deidara: Itachi! Was it Itachi who made me look like an idiot and switched himself with a pillow before, yeah?

Sasori: -sigh-

Deidara: IT WAS! Or his brother…yeah. Those Uchiha bastards….They will PAY, YEAH!

Sasori: and how do you plan to 'pay them back'

Deidara: BARBEQUE BITCH! YEAH! –runs away laughing like maniac-
