Chapter #10: The Ladder Approach.

3rd Person POV

The breakfast table was finally back to how it should be. Konan had thrown a hissy fit last night and convinced Pein -as we all figured out was his name late last night amongst other disturbing things- to make a new rule stating no extreme public displays of affection while the blue haired woman was around. Tobi was chatting away with Deidara, Kisame was attempting to fill his endless void of a stomach, Kakuzu was bi**ing about the finances with Itachi, who neither said, nor ate anything. White Zetsu was trying to discipline his black side who was telling Konan all about his romance with the resident bounty hunter. Konan, was acting like a kid, and was covering her ears and singing 'The happy song' by ch!Paz at the top of her lungs. Pein and Sasori were turning a pale shade of red as Hidan started to do impressions of them last night, causing everyone to laugh.

Yes, things were definitely back to normal, until Tobi piped up with his newest plan.

"Today is Sunday, and we haven't had a break in a long time, so Tobi suggests that we go to the lake for swimming!" he said cheerfully, as the table quieted down.

"Tobi, we do not need a break. We are serious S-ranked criminals, there is no time for such things." he answer stoic as ever.

"Oh yeah? So there's no time for us to have fun, but you and Sasori can f***ing do it all night? I think you f***ing owe us for the nightmares we be having for the next month or so." snickered Hidan, nudging Tobi with his elbow and cocky smirk plastered over his face.

"... F-fine." said Pein, obviously trying to hide his embarrassment, and doing a very bad job at it.

"Everyone, we're having a day off. Go enjoy yourselves at the lake." he announced coldly glaring at the immortal furiously, an excited cheer raising from the excited group of serial killers.

"Why did you ask to go to the lake, un?" whispered Deidara, to the now, not so annoying masked ninja.

"Because, Sempai want's to see Kisame without a shirt on!" he whispered back, jumping up from his seat and dashing down the hall to catch up to the retreating back of his partner, heading towards the sanctuary of their room.

It took Deidara a few minutes to process the thought. Kisame... in a bathing suit, un..? That could be nice, hm. Wait, what- he thought, realizing the blood trickling down his face from his nose a little too late.

"Looks like someone is thinking perverted thoughts." said the stoic puppet master, tilting his head to the side a little.

"N-no.. Tobi just hit me when he stood up, yeah!" said the blonde, scratching the back of his head absentmindedly. Sasori raised his eyebrows questioningly at him, but decided not to push any further for answers.

"all right then! Let's get ready Deidara-san." came the excited voice of the large, yet completely oblivious shark-man, as he stood up from his spot next to Zetsu, and moved towards the doorway, stopping to wait for his partner before leaving the room.

Deidara started to get up, when Sasori leaned in to his ear -Much to Pein and Kisame's dislike- and whispered "Good luck catching the shark." he said, smiling at Deidara as he turned around, eyes wide with surprise. Deidara face slowly turned into a happy grin, as he bounded of towards his partner.

"Thanks Danna, un!" he said before the duo exited the room.

"... So what did you tell him?" asked Pein, trying his best not to look jealous.

"Nothing concerning you." answered the Suna-nin simply, before he too, left the table.

"... This organization gets more f***ed up every year." he grumbled, resting his face in his palm.

"Tell me about it." huffed his blue haired childhood friend.

{°}°{°}°{ ... Later at the lake ... }°{°}°{°}

"Whee! Look Hi-tan, Sempai and Hoshigaki-san are here!" squealed the immature ninja from his lovers strong, pale arms. Tobi was still wearing his mask, and had on a black body suit that covered his skin completely, where as Hidan, was swimming in his briefs ((who says they all wear boxers.))

"Hey, Pyro. What, no bikini?" teased the albino, pointing down at Deidara's brown swim shorts.

"What? Vampires that can go into the sunlight yeah? Never thought I'd see the day, hm." snapped a now pissed off blonde.

"Quit it you two, let's try and keep damage at a minimum, shall we?" said the big blue man, causing Deidara to avert his eyes. Kisame was wearing a pair of navy blue swim trunks that contrasted very nicely with his paler blue skin.

The water sparkled around him, making him look even better in the bombers eyes. Oh my god... he's so perfect... I have to use this opportunity while I can. thought Deidara frantically thinking of ways he could get closer to his partner, completely oblivious that Kisame was thinking about the same thing.

Oh my gosh... He looks so cute, but not in a girlie way. I should take advantage of this and get to know him better. thought the shark man.

"Hey, Dei, want to come swimming with me?" asked the mist ninja, nervously trying his best not to blush or look away.

" Sure- wait. What did you just call me?" questioned the Iwa ninja, his blue eyes looking straight into Kisame's golden ones.

"I- Argh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to- I mean- I-" he blurted out, before he was silenced by Deidara's palm.

"It's fine, never said I didn't like it, yeah." he mumbled, looking down at his feet, not realizing Kisame's desperate attempts to remove Deidara's palm from his face, as said hand started to lick him.

"Dei-" he managed to say n between licks.

"Hm? What is- Oh god-"

"JASHIN!"

"SHUT THE F*** UP!" screamed the upset blonde, before turning back towards the violated ninja. "I'm so sorry Kisame, it won't happen again, yeah!" said the excusatory blonde.

"It's fine... Dei." he managed. Damn, I almost kissed his hand. Not exactly the best way to impress someone, I'll tell you that.

"Um... can I call you... Kisa, then." asked the blonde, forcing himself to look at the tall, beautiful man in from of him.

"Sure. Well then, Dei, want to go swimming with me?" he asked, nudging the other in the ribs.

"Of course, Kisa, un." he replied raising one eyebrow and smirking in a cocky way.

As they walked in deeper -the water reaching the middle of Deidara's stomach, and the beginning on Kisame's hips- along the little shallow path that could be used to walk into the middle of the lake, before dropping of in the middle and the sides, Hidan burst into song on the shore.

"KISA AND DEIDEI, SITTING IN A F***ING TREE! K-I-S-S-I-N-N-G!" He yelled, buckling over in maniacal laughter.

"OH YEAH, SMARTA**? APPARENTLY YOU CAN'T SPELL, KISSING ONLY HAS ONE N, UN!" yelled back the irate blonde.

"W-Well... SHUT UP! YOU THINK YOUR ALL F***ING THAT?!" retorted the livid Jashinist, before stalking off towards the other end of the sandy area, dragging a reluctant Tobi with him.

"... I always thought he was smarter than that." snorted Kisame sarcastically.

"looks can be deceiving, yeah." stated the artist calmly.

"... So... Now what?" asked Kisame, kinda nervous.

"... Let's play hide and seek, yeah!" said Deidara, enthusiastically.

"Hide and seek?" questioned Kisame raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah. I think Tobi is rubbing of on me, hm." he stated simply.

"all right, but just to warn you, I swim like a shark, and see like a hawk." boasted the blue skinned man.

"Well then, you must have one f***ed up parentage, yeah." teased Deidara. "Now get counting, un."

"all right 1... 2... 3... 4..." he counted, slowly making his way to twenty.

all right, now to hide... thought Deidara, surprised when the sand underneath him dropped off, and a small, but deadly current caught him, dragging him down towards the middle of the lake, where the water filled out into the underground river.

Oh crap! He thought, starting to panic and thrash underneath the water to no avail I never learnt how to swim like Kisame. There was no need to learn in Iwagakure, you hardly ever get to swim... He thought as the light on the surface of the water started to fade,

I wonder if he'll miss me... Kisame...

And then the water swallowed him, dragging him down into the dark abyss.
