Hey guys! It's KRISH-un again with another update!... I sound like a car dealer. Yeah, that sucks. ANYWHO, I have four things to tell/ask you all.

FIRST! One of my friend's has a mom who's Japanese. She asked her what 'Deidara' meant. Her mom could only think of the Chinese definition which was, of all thing!

SECOND! I have almost finished typing up this story on the computer and it is about thirty chapters. So, this story will continue for a while longer.

THIRD! I have a one-shot of Deidara's past that I wrote a long time ago. Would any of you want to read it? If you do, I'll post it up here.

AND LASTLY! Did any of you go to AFO 8? Because I did. If any of you, or any of your friends did, could you review and tell me what you were, I want to know if I saw any of you.

I was a Deidara (naturally), and I walked around with a Dark Magician / Priest Seto (From Yu-Gi-Oh!) If you saw me, please tell me, beacuase that would be so awesome!

On with the chapter! I don't own what you know!

Akai squirmed, "Let me go!"

The hands tightened their grip on her, "No, un."

She squirmed even more, "LET. GO. OF. ME. NOW. DAMMIT!" She was thrashing around now, "I just want to leave! I don't want anything to do with you!"

All of a sudden, the hands let go. "Is that true, un?" Deidara's voice came from behind the tree, sadly.

Akai stumbled forward for a second, and then wheeled around to face him. Her eyes couldn't make out his face but she spoke anyways, "YES! I just want to go home! Leave me alone!!"

Deidara stepped out from behind the tree, his face looking very serious, "Really?"

She growled, "YES! How many times do I have to say it?! I don't want anything to do with you, or Tobi, o-or Cassie, o-or…" Tears were flowing down her face. She wiped them away, not wanting to cry in front of the anime character she still (kind of) liked.

"Cassie, un? Who's that?" Deidara asked, moving closer to her, trying to get close enough to restrain her again.

Akai stepped away from him, still crying. "She's the other who was brought here with me. I f-found her last night, a-and…" She trailed off, taking a breath, calming herself down enough to speak coherently. "We fought. I really want to go home, and she wants to stay here, and I don't want to leave without her, and, and, and I don't know what to do!" She said, the last part turning into a sob.

Deidara closed the gap between them, wrapping his arms around her, ((KRISH-un's inner fangirl is screaming here)) "You'll be okay, un. Ssh… It's alright…" He hugged her against him, letting her cry into his chest.

She eventually calmed down, "W-Why are you here anyways? I ran away. I thought you didn't care. At all."

Deidara sighed, "Call it… careful persuasion from Tobi, un."

She laughed, then hiccupped, "Ah, I see."

Deidara sighed, letting go of her, "So… you want to go back? You can probably find a way back to your…world there easier than anywhere else, un."

She nodded, "Yeah, I think so." She yawned, leaning against the tree again. Her eyes closed for a second and she swayed a little.

Deidara chuckled, turning his back to her, "Get on, un."

When she balked, he added, "I don't think you can keep up with me, at least not when you're like that, so get on, un."

She climbed onto his back, looping her arms around his neck, and he sped off.

They flew over the 4 miles that it took to get back to the mountain. When they reached the base, Deidara walked slowly to his and Tobi's shared room.

When he reached the door, he whispered, "Akai-san?"

Akai answered him with a little snoring noise.

He chuckled, opening the door, "Tobi? You awake, un?"

"Tobi is awake, Deidei-senpai!" Came Tobi's loud answer.

"SSH!" Deidara whispered frantically, "I found her, but she's asleep, un! Be quiet, un!"

Tobi's voice dropped to a whisper, "Sorry, senpai! Tobi is a good boy!"

"Yeah, yeah, un. Be quiet. Where're we going to put her, un?"

"Senpai can put her on Tobi's bed. That way both Senpai and Akai-san can sleep! Tobi will be okay on the floor!" The other shinobi's voice said cheerily.

Deidara nodded thankfully, "Okay, un." He put Akai down gently on Tobi's bed, pulling the covers up over her, "Good night, un." He murmured, before stepping over the sleeping form of Tobi to reach his own bed.

Well, that's it for now! Please answer my questions, any of you who want to/ can!

Ja ne!
