A/N: Happy Easter!

I should have said that in the last chapter, sorry ^-^u

Hope this makes you laugh a bit :D

Warning: language, violence, OOC, slightly dramatic acting

Enjoy!


Shisui sat cross-legged in the center of a clearing, arms crossed. Deidara and Itachi were next to him, in an oddly shaped circle. Okay. A triangle. The second test started no less than half an hour ago, and already they could pick up the faint sounds of screams and struggle throughout the Forest.

Itachi glanced at his cousin. "Why have we been sitting in this position since the test started?"

Shisui grinned. "Because I wanted to."

Deidara stared. "Really un?"

"Naw!" Shisui shook his head. "If you really want to know, I thought it'd be wise to come up with a plan before we move on or anything."

"So you had us sit in the middle of a giant clearing where anyone can see us?" Itachi shouted with a vein throbbing.

Shisui merely beamed in response.

"SHISUI!"

Deidara irritably plugged his ears with his fingers. "Could you kindly quit screeching un? You're worse than Anko-chan."

Itachi slowly looked at him with a violently twitching brow. "I'm not screeching. And since when do you call Mitarashi-san by her first name with such an honorific?"

"Since I can hmm."

Shisui hummed in the back of his throat. "Anyway kiddies, back to making a strategy. Should we lie in wait for a team to come by or go out and attack on our own?"

Itachi spared him a glance. "Waiting might take a while. We still have to find a good place to set up camp. Definitely before the night sets in."

Shisui thoughtfully looked down. "I see…"

"How 'bout this!" Deidara said with wide, energetic eyes. "I'll make a giant bomb and drop it over the Forest! Then we'll destroy all our competition!"

Shisui sweatdropped. "Er- I don't think that would work exactly…"

Deidara cocked his head. "Why not hmm?"

Itachi rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Look idiot, we can't just go around bombing whoever we like and attracting the entire Forest of Death's population to us. Not everyone likes to get killed in such a gruesome manner."

Deidara looked offended. "It's not gruesome un! It's a heroic, glorious battle!"

"Battle," Itachi hissed, "is not glorious. It's horrible."

"What are you, a pacifist?" Deidara scorned. "You're a shinobi, suck it up."

Itachi narrowed his eyes. "You're a reckless fool who doesn't know what he's talking about. Someone like you should have never come to a peaceful village like Konohagakure."

Deidara narrowed his visible eye right back. "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

He and Deidara sat across from each other, glaring heatedly.

Shisui raised his hands. "Hey now-"

"Why don't I just up and go then un?"

"Why don't you?

"Alright I will."

"Fine."

"Fine." Deidara stood to his feet, glaring. "I'll go now. Back to a village that doesn't want me."

Itachi didn't bother to look up. "You do that."

"I will hmm."

"Okay."

"OK."

"Look, will you just go already?" Itachi snapped.

Deidara openly gaped at him and then pivoted on his heel, vanishing with a grunt of annoyance.

Itachi blinked as the blonde left. He didn't think he would actually listen to him. "Hn. Running off is immature," he said in a childish tone of voice, feeling a tiny bit guilty.

Shisui frowned and cuffed his cousin over the head. "It's your own fault for provoking him. We should go get him before he gets into trouble."

Itachi reluctantly unfolded his arms. "I guess so."

A large crowd of shinobi ran by.

"Let's go get the blonde before he escapes!"

"Yes! For Orochimaru!"

"Hurry!"

Itachi and Shisui stared. Then Shisui turned his stare to his cousin.

"Fine," Itachi sighed, "Let's follow them."

"Not so fast," a kunoichi's voice interrupted.

Shisui and Itachi glared at her. "Out of the way toots," Shisui said with a wave of his hand.

"I can't let you go," she said, whistling sharply. A small group of shinobi gathered at her call. "Orochimaru-sama has given us orders to annihilate you, and that's what we'll do."

Itachi harrumphed. "I have no idea why he would want that, but we have a teammate to get to."

Shisui bobbed his head in agreement. "Right-o. So if you could just move-"

"No way!"

Shisui's brow quirked, Sharingan slowly activating. "I hate being interrupted. You've just made me pissed," he said with a slightly demented smile.

The kunoichi and her followers blanched, stepping back in slight fear.

Itachi rolled his eyes and retreated a good distance away.

His older cousin was unstoppable now.


"Okay guys, let's use some stealth."

"Right- Kishimoto-san make the bird noise."

"..."

"Kishimoto-san!"

"Huh- or right. Er-" *cough cough* "Cawcaw! Cawcawcaw!"

Deidara ignored the strange noise coming from the Forest, tucking one glove into his vest pocket to wash the mouth of his palm out by the side of a river. "Stupid Itachi un. Always pisses me off with his annoying ass attitude," he muttered.

He knew that there were a bunch of shinobi watching him from the trees and bushes, but as long as they weren't doing anything too annoying or attack him, he really didn't care.

"Hehehehe!"

"Snorklesnorklesnorkle!"

"Hehehaheheha!"

"Ca-caw!Cawcaw!"

"Gyakgyakgyakgyakgyak-"

Deidara's eye twitched. Maybe they'll go away if I don't retaliate.

Only when the cackles and bad whispering didn't stop did the Iwa nin finally decide to act.

Deidara stood, planting his hand on his hip. "OK un. Who's there?"

A kunai whizzed by his face.

Deidara wiped the blood off his cheek with his thumb and then licked it. "Who sent you losers hmm?"

The crowd of shinobi who stepped out all had on Otogakure hitai-ate. A lanky shinobi with a runny nose was at the lead, sternly staring him down behind extremely large sunglasses.

Deidara couldn't control the twitching of his brow. "Who…sent you?" he repeated with some difficulty.

The shinobi wiped his nose. "Ha. I'm not telling you that we're working for Orochimaru."

He received plenty of glares from his fellow shinobi.

"Orochimaru?" Deidara raised a brow and then scoffed. "That creep can send as many of you as he'd like un. I won't be losing anytime soon."

"That's what you think," the nasal shinobi said. He drew a Fuuma Shuriken, twirling it in what he presumed to be a cool manner. "AWOOOGAH!"

Oh dear God.

Deidara snorted and tried to cover it with a cough.

The shinobi glared and waved a hand forward, motioning to the others in the back. "Go get him faithful minions!"

"Shut up! You think we'd listen to you?" a kunoichi yelled before drop-kicking the shinobi.

And then the group of Oto nins went on to fight.

Deidara drew a handful of kunai, deflecting a wave of shuriken and senbon before cart wheeling to the side and throwing a smoke bomb to the ground.

The Oto nins coughed and hacked for air.

"Ah! Where did he go?"

"Hurry up and find him!"

"My lungs!"

"Shut up already!"

Deidara quietly snickered and backrolled out of the smoke cloud, bouncing to his feet with a smirk. "Well that was easy hmm." He snapped his fingers, and diving out of the trees was a mass of clay butterflies, all which plummeted into the smoke below. Deidara formed a seal. "Remember this, Oto nins," he sneered. "Art…is an explosion! Katsu!"

He sighed and straightened up, patting himself down amongst the large blast. "Geez. Saying that all the time takes a lot out of me un." He brought his fingerless glove out of his vest pocket and slid it back on with the help of his teeth. "And I hate having to pull this thing on and off all the time hmm…"


-Meanwhile-


"AHHHH MAKE IT STOP! THE PAIN!"

Itachi coughed, looking around the clearing which was full of frothing and spazzing shinobi. "Shisui…I think we're done here."

Shisui stood, eyes onyx once more. "You think so?"

Itachi's lips quirked. "Just a little."


"Wow~ Well done blondie."

Deidara's head snapped up at the sound of slow clapping, eye narrowing at the sight of more shinobi gathered around. "Hmph. Let me guess. Orochimaru hmm."

"And you're a psychic," the shinobi who had spoken first said. "But can you handle me in a fight?"

"Cocky-ass bastard aren't you un?" Deidara circled an arm around his head, a swarm of already prepared clay wasps immediately shooting out at the group. "I hate wasting chakra on the likes of you un. Katsu!"

There were several surprised shrieks and cries, but not all of them were caught off guard.

Deidara jumped back to avoid the swipe of a kunai, casually flinging off one of his gloves again to begin molding clay in his mouth palm. He flipped backwards again and then shot himself up a nearby tree, dropping a clay spider behind him. The shinobi trailing him was blasted back into the ground.

"Grr...Don't let him get away!"

Deidara smirked and ran for the highest branch, only to fall and release a wave of clay birds beneath him, capturing all below. "KATSU!" He dived into the explosion, eyes alight in excitement.

Itachi and Shisui ran into the clearing the same time the explosion erupted throughout the trees. They skidded to a halt.

Shisui took a step forward. "Deidara!"

Itachi shoved past him, red eyes blazing. "Deidara you stupid idiot!" he screamed.

They waited in a heavy silence as the remaining smoke cleared, showing the unconscious figures of the Oto nin who had attacked them and several large craters in the earth. Itachi scanned the area for chakra signatures with his Sharingan, unable to detect any.

Shisui placed his hands on his hips and looked around, his own Sharingan activated. "No shinobi in the surrounding area at all. I'm surprised the blast didn't attract anyone."

Oh my Kami! Deidara is such an idiot! Itachi stomped around in a circle for no apparent reason. Sure it might have been a bit his fault the blonde ran off in the first place, but everything was Deidara's fault! And Shisui's! And while he was busy accusing others- why not make it the Hokage's fault too!

Shisui placed a hand on his shoulder. "Itachi, I think you should calm down."

"Calm down?" Itachi turned to his cousin with wild eyes. "Are you crazy? If my foolish little brother and Naruto-no-baka find out, I'm as good as dead!" he dragged his cheeks down with his fingers. "I can't die so stupidly!"

"Don't worry, I'm sure if anyone's going to kill you it's going to be Sasuke," Shisui knowingly said. "Everyone likes dramatic brother stuff."

Itachi glared. "What in the-"

The ground beneath them trembled and they paused in their discussion to look down in surprise.

A familiar head of blonde poked out of the dirt, gasping for air. "Oh. My. Kami. Un! I thought I was gonna die hmm!"

Itachi and Shisui stared.

Deidara blinked, only able to see the feet and legs of the two above him. "What un?"

Itachi lunged, attempting to crush his head underfoot. "You blonde moron! Don't go around making big explosions and faking your death!"

Deidara dodged as best as a person could underground. Which wasn't very well. "Ah! What do you think you're doing hmm? I didn't fake my death!"

"My favorite cousin calm down!" Shisui cried, trying to stop the younger raven from killing their blonde teammate.

"Shut up!"


By the time they had all managed to calm down, it was well on its way to night, the sky above the trees already darkening.

Itachi was scowling darkly as Deidara and Shisui chattered up ahead. Apparently in the midst of the explosion, Deidara had used an Earth Burrowing Jutsu to fall underneath the ground and cushion the blow. And then he decided to go circle around the clearing like the dumbass he is under the earth just to see how long he could go without air.

Idiot!

They came to a stop in front of several large trees looming high into the air, a small but comfortable cave nestled between them. Itachi noted the cave with some appreciation. It was located in an area of low detection so not many would find an disturb them. An appropiate base for them to gather in and be able to lookout for other teams to mug.

Deidara held a finger to his chin in a contemplating manner. "Where should we set up camp hmm?"

Itachi turned to him. "We'll set up camp in that cave-"

"Let's make camp in the trees!" Shisui exclaimed, pointing up.

Deidara clapped his hands together. "Great idea Shisui-kun~" he chirped.

"And I think we can set up some hammocks too…" Shisui murmured.

Itachi turned to them, several popped veins on his face. "Don't ignore me!"

Deidara smirked at him. "You say something un?"

Itachi burned holes into his head before turning away with a huff.

Shisui glanced in between them, oblivious to the dark cloud hanging above his cousin's head. "Ne, favorite cousin- wanna get us some food?"

"Whatever!" Itachi threw his arms up into the air, stomping away.

Deidara couldn't help but snicker. "Such a short fuse hmm…"

"Don't worry," Shisui said with a laugh. "If he gets lost we can always go off and find him with my Sharingan."

"SHARINGAN CAN'T FIND PEOPLE YOU IDIOT!" Itachi's voice screamed back at them.
