I've noticed that I've gotten quite a few new alerters recently. To those, welcome to the story! I'm quite impressed that you read it all and got up to this point.
"It's you and me, Gin Goh! I will make you and everyone in this village recognize me, for one day...I will be Hokage!"
To be honest, I really wasn't expecting anyone to get this right, so it's probably a little mean of me to try and trick ya'll about that.
The correct answer is that one of my favorite comic book characters, Deadpool, was the one who said it. For those of you who don't know who he is, he is a mutant from the Marvel universe whose powers of regeneration possibly exceed Wolverines. I say possibly because Deadpool has had his head severed from his body, but not died (a lá Hidan), and in fact, was able to heal it once it was placed back onto his neck. As far as I know, Wolverine hasn't managed that yet. However, the main reason why I really like him is for a reason that ya'll probably won't be too surprised about…he is known as the Merc with a Mouth since he never stops talking, even to the point of BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL.
Yeah, he's just that awesome. As a result, he's made quite a few popular culture references, check this one out: media. comicvine uploads/ 9/99420/ 2038591-3eb26bc57dc05eb05d05b31245b5 4e2b. jpeg (remove the spaces).
As a response to ILIKECATS3600 – sorry, but tell your sister that it was a good thought, but not quite the right answer to the riddle.
As for the answer to the riddle…he was walking
Also, I'm pretty sure that I've asked this before, but I don't think I actually got an answer.
I've noticed that people seem to be very open to the CinDei pairing, and I'm just curious why this is so? It's just, she often seems like a Mary Sue to me, so is it just the humor that lets people tolerate it or what? If someone could give me an answer, I'd appreciate it.
… … … … …
Deidara was completely stunned, and it was all he could do not to drop the accident-prone civilian on her butt.
Had they just…? A light blush dusted his cheeks, and he felt angry at himself for letting it happen.
At least it wasn't as bad as with Cin, whose face could easily be mistaken for a tomato.
"Hey, lovebirds, snap out of it!" a bun-headed brunette yelled as she flung herself into the fight.
Deidara suddenly found himself responding, "Well, at least you're genre savvy!"
"Wrong time, but thanks, blondie!"
Wow, and he thought that Cin was the only one who had the guts to say something like that to the Akatsuki…
…wait…
He came back to himself in just enough time to see Cin dropping towards the ground a good distance below them. On the bright side, she wasn't screaming. On the other side, it probably had something to do with the fact that she was still in shock from their unplanned…collision.
Kiss
"Who asked you?" Deidara grumbled to the author as he shot himself down to sweep her up with a catch that was too close to the ground for the girl's comfort.
"About time," she grumbled, looking away from him as he placed her gently onto her feet.
He grinned at her, covering up his slight discomfort with his usual brashness. There would be plenty of time to ponder this new development after they had all escaped.
Normally, he'd be in the thick of it, setting off bombs recklessly and laughing hysterically…but due to Pein's orders, he was supposed to grab Cin and get out pronto.
Yep, Pein's orders. Nothing more, unlike what some of the readers seemed to think for some reason…
…he was starting to see exactly what it was that annoyed Itachi so much.
"Sasuke!"
Great, it sounded like the Kyuubi brat had found his quarry. Well, hopefully that would keep mini-Uchiha out of the fray, at least until Cin was safe…
Who was putting these absurd thoughts in his head?
He was slightly shocked to feel something whack the top of his head. He looked down, startled, to see Cin with her hand still raised from where it had struck him.
"I certainly hope that what you're thinking about is how we're supposed to escape this mess!"
The blond looked around to see that he was standing in the midst of the battle, holding the healer in bridal style.
EVERYONE was staring at them, the fight momentarily at a standstill.
Deidara bit his lip.
"STUPID AUTHOR!"
…
A steaming blond bomber appeared in the question-answer room (completely against his own free will), his arms still in the position that he would've been in had he still been holding Cin (which he wasn't, so it probably meant that when he returned, he'd find her more than a little angry about getting dropped onto the ground, again).
He gritted his teeth, "I hate you."
[Hate's an awfully strong word.]
"I could always take a leaf from Hidan's book…"
[Or I could go ahead and ply you with questions.]
"I prefer…"
[That doesn't matter.]
"I think it does, un."
[Do explain.]
"The readers are here to see me. Not hear you blabber."
[Au contraire, I believe a good portion of the readers are here to see me torture you.]
"…"
[…]
"Sadistic fangirls."
[Preaching to the choir here, Dei. Let's move along now. 0Kuro Tenshi0 – "Question for Deidei-chan: What's your favorite color?"]
"Amber," he shot off before seriously thinking about the mess he had just gotten into.
[Color of Cin's eyes?]
"What? No!"
[Oh, really? I just went back and looked at the first chapter to recall her original description, and I quite plainly put down that she had amber eyes.]
"Coincidence."
[Then please, explain why it is your favorite color.]
"I don't feel like it."
[Quite childish behavior for a member of the Akatsuki.]
"You're acting childish yourself, un."
[I'm the author of a fanfiction devoted to parody and humor. I don't think anyone expects me to be overly mature. And even if they did, after all of the writing they've read of mine, I think they were disillusioned many many chapters ago.]
"…"
[So, are you going to admit the true reason you like the color amber, or are you going to think up some boldfaced lie to save face that we'll all see right through?]
A stubborn look crossed his face, "I like amber because it is the color of my clay mixed with blood."
[And I think we all have our answer! And now for a new reviewer: Mybfflisazombie – "As for Dei-Dei : why won't you ask Cin out already? Psh, it's no secret that you like her, dot deny it! Oh can you tell Sasori I said and hi and that I love him ? Also ask him if he will ever love? Since he's going to be alive for a long time why doesnt he? Also, to make your life easier I'm giving you a 4th-wall breaking coupon that can be used once so that ALL of the Akatsuki (and maybe even the Konoha ninja's) will feel you (and Itachi's) pain and so you won't have to endure this alone. Remember to ask Cindra out or all the CinDei shippers will break the 4th-wall forever and you'll be stuck with Malice-chan's voice in your head!"]
"Why do I need to ask her out?"
[Because it's not in her character to ask you out, or even realize that she likes you, so you must make the first move.]
"That's not what I meant!"
[That's what it sounded like.]
"That doesn't mean anything!"
[Well, that's not very nice at all. Anyways, answer the rest!]
"Yeah, yeah," the blond groaned, slipping out the cellphone to text Sasori mechanically.
It didn't take too long before he had gotten a response.
{Love is unnecessary since it's not forever. So, no. I don't need love slowing me down. The only thing I will ever think of in a way that people think of as "love" would be my art.}
[Sorry, Mybfflisazombie, Sasori seems to be in a bad mood. Anyways, I'm going to make you save the coupon for a bit, I've got plans for that *evil grin*.]
"Oh, joy."
[DokuHimeKami – "Dei-kun: Good luck with asking Cin out! I ship you two...FIGHTING! And can you give this unlimited free dango coupon and teleporting gum to Itachi? And Here's one ton of poison explosive clay! Tell Sasori I love him plz!
(ﾉヮ)ﾉ*:･ﾟ"]
"What's this shipping thing people keep exclaiming about?!"
[Don't break the laws of punctuation.]
"It's your fault anyways…" he notices the gifts, "…ooh! Clay! Okay, I'll tell him! Don't expect him to respond favorably!"
*a few minutes pass*
{What's with all these love confessions? Stop sending them to me from your imaginary friends, brat.}
[You're a meanie.]
"Says the sadistic author."
[I'm not sadistic.]
'You're a writer. Doesn't it come with the territory?"
[No…*shifty eyes*… Authorchik039 – ''you should just cut all your hair off, all you look like is a crossdressing Ino Yamanaka and its not pretty, unless you were going for that look?"]
"Who's Ino Yamanka? And why should I chop my hair off? Why can't she cut off her hair!"
[It doesn't work that way. Though you're welcome to give it a try, if you want.]
"Or I can just go ahead and chop it off myself."
[Whatever you want.]
"Will you leave me alone?"
[No.]
"Than what's the point of offering?"
[It's nice.]
"Since when are you nice?"
[…moving on…: JLWafflezBrony – "Hmm... I like it! Also, ask Dei-Dei-chan if he, or any of the Akatsuki are Bronies!"]
"What are bronies?"
[Bronies.]
"What?"
[It's Bronies. Not bronies.]
"What's the difference?"
[Capital B.]
"I don't care."
[I'll take the fact that you don't seem to know what I'm talking about to mean that the answer is no.]
"That would probably be best."
[Phoenixyfriend – "Oh... is that a blush that Malice-san mentioned? Now, now, Deidara, no naughty thoughts about your... coworkers. I did discern that you appear to have forgotten Cin. Is she not, to a certain extent, a member of Akatsuki as well? You did not include her in the list..."]
"Cin's not an official member…fine, Cin – reading. Happy?"
[I suppose. Next part: "The embarrassing question, and this is one that you are likely one of the few that can answer, other than the object of the question himself: Is Sasori a eunuch? And if so, was the castration self-inflicted?"]
"I'll ask him, but don't expect a good mood from him once I ask."
And he did so.
{Seriously, what's with the weird questions? I suppose you could say…yes to both considering that I'm completely a puppet now. Now leave me be!}
["Here is what may as well equate to a ticket. It is for Hidan, to replace you once your five-chapter stint has been exhausted. Be a dear and give it to him, will you? You can transfer to the torment to him soon, dear."]
"I'll hand it over to him soon."
[Please remind Orochimaru that Rule 34 (no, not that one) on the Evil Overlord List is "I will not turn into a snake. It never helps." Of course, only do so if such an occasion occurs in which such a comment would be applicable."]
"I'll do that when I get put back!"
[Fine *sighs* I guess I'll put you back then.]
…
Deidara was dropped back in, just in time to see Cin fall to the floor.
"Well, well, this isn't very nice," he could hear Orochimaru's oily voice make him strongly wish to bleach his brain of the memory. He turned to see that the snake-wizard's neck had been elongated to the point that it looked like he had turned into a snake.
"Yeah, well you keep breaking the Rules yourself! Rule 34 of the Evil Overlord List is "I will not turn into a snake!"
"What? That'ssss not in the rulessssssss!"
"You wish!"
And the argument just kept escalating, increasing around to include the entire room.
And no one noticed that Cin was fuming on the floor.
Her eyebrow was twitching furiously.
She had a huge headache, her power seemed to be leaking, and all the arguing was NOT helping.
It was getting to be way too much.
"WILL YOU EXPLETIVING STOP IT ALREADY YOU EXPLETIVES!"
