Chapter 30: Deidara's fury

Phire got up the earliest (around 6 a.m.), but she actually got out of bed 10 minutes later. Itachi wasn't letting her go. She smiled and giggled, and she kissed him for a while, and then was able to get out of his grip. She spied on the two Akatsuki members, and took a picture on her cell phone this time instead of the digital camera (she had bought a cell a little while back). She smiled to herself, and then left. There was a new cashier, and he looked down; he seemed to be shy.

'I'm going for a walk,' Phire told him. He nodded. 'Oh, and my name is Nekura,' she added in before leaving.

'Wow, she's pretty,' the cashier thought as the wind blew through the door, and then stopped as the door closed. She took her cell phone out as it rang.

'Are you coming?'

'Yea of course, why wouldn't I? I promised I would. I brought some friends along if you don't mind.'

'They better not mess with the scientific apparatus.'

'Don't worry, they're smart enough not to.'

'Deidara, if you dare… I'll kill you…'

'Phire?'

'Oh sorry, just spaced out for a minute, you know.'

'Doesn't matter, babe.'

'How could I forget… he's just like Hidan… annoying…'

'Phire!'

'Oh, well uh, yea, I've got to go, you know, and get them.'

'Okay, ja ne!'

'Ja ne.'

Deidara woke up, and screamed really loud like a girl. Kakuzu was still sleeping, and was hugging Deidara.

'Teddy bear… money… teddy bear…' he kept muttering in his sleep with an innocent yet scary like smile. Deidara tried to get out of his grip, and he whimpered, because Kakuzu was very strong physically. Itachi came in, and raised an eyebrow.

'And I thought having Jaws for your partner was strange…' he muttered, and then just left. When he reached the elevator, Phire came out, and they bumped into each other, and she fell on him outside of the elevator. Nobody else was in it, so…

'What the hell, get off,' he growled. She glared at him and got off.

'Jeez, you could have warned me,' Phire muttered under her breath, but Itachi didn't hear her.

'Where did you go?' he demanded. She thought for a minute.

'For a walk,' she partially lied. He didn't buy it.

'Really, where did you go?' he asked, having a kunai to her throat and vice versa.

'Itachi, let's go to our room first, I need to change,' she growled, and teleported to the room. Itachi was very angry, and quickly ran into the room.

'Phire, why are Kakuzu and Deidara sleeping together, may I ask?' Itachi asked. Phire was doing the best to hold back all laughter.

'I don't know,' she muttered in a cracked voice. Itachi raised an eyebrow, but then shook his head. He then put his arms around her and threw her to the ground.

'What the hell?' she growled. Itachi glared at her, sharingan somewhat close to activating.

'Where the hell were you?' he asked her, glowering at her. She got up.

'Just for a walk; ask the cashier if you don't believe me,' she muttered as she went to the door. He grasped her shoulder and his grasp was for once, painful. Phire winced a little, and turned around.

'I was talking on my cell phone during my walk, ok?' she told him, annoyed. He raised an eyebrow.

'And? Who was it?' Itachi asked. He was getting on Phire's last nerves, but then Deidara crashed through the door and landed right on Phire, lips almost touching hers. Phire just blinked, and Itachi grabbed Deidara and threw him back through the broken wall.

'Deidara, do you like Phire? She's taken, remember?' Itachi growled at Deidara. Phire shook her head.

'What the hell? Why was Deidara flying through the wall?' Phire asked. Itachi lifted her into his arms, and she saw Kakuzu and Deidara fighting; in other words, Kakuzu beating the shit out of Deidara.

'You can put me down now,' she muttered, looking at the fight. He gently put her down.

'Hmph, him and his mood swings,' Phire thought.

'It was YOU who was hugging me, idiot! You kept screaming 'teddy bear… money!' and shit like that!' Deidara tried to defend and yelled at Kakuzu. Kakuzu didn't listen, and kept blowing punches and kicks at Deidara.

'No, it was YOU who was being an idiot and kept feeling my leg!' Kakuzu yelled back. Phire sighed, and when she was about to fix the wall, Kakuzu grabbed her wrist, and she went into the other room.

'Phire! Wasn't it Deidara who was feeling me?' Kakuzu asked her. She knew the truth, but didn't really like Deidara.

'Well, yea,' she said. He punched her playfully on the arm, and she went back to fixing the wall.

'What! Phire! You're supposed to be on MY side!' Deidara yelled. Phire smirked, and then turned back around and fixed the wall. Deidara glared at her.

'Itachi!' Deidara yelled. 'We're cool with each other, right?' Itachi raised an eyebrow.

'Are you trying to tell me that we're gay or if we are comrades, because it is neither,' Itachi told him. Deidara anime fell.

'Oh, and you were feeling Kakuzu inappropriately,' Itachi added in. Deidara anime fell again when he got up. Kakuzu stomped on Deidara.

'SEE! OH, I DEFEATED YOU! I WAS RIGHT! NOW I WANT MONEY,' he yelled. Deidara just had the last straw when the former cashier came through the window he fell out of and hugged Deidara from behind.

'Be gay with me!' he exclaimed in joy. Phire fell on the ground and laughed really hard, rolling on the floor, Itachi just smirked, and Kakuzu twitched.

'You tried feeling me, too!' Kakuzu yelled, 'but if you love Deidara so much…' Just then, Phire teleported herself, Itachi and Kakuzu out of the room, and Deidara was even angrier.

'WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS!' He yelled after killing the former cashier guy. He then summoned his clay bird and flew down where they were teleported, and grabbed Phire by the collar, and lifted her up by the collar.

'I've had enough of you, demon girl,' he growled in a low tone, 'and when I get revenge, we'll see who gets the last laugh.'

'Like your mom will probably,' she muttered, and Kakuzu cracked up and laughed hard and Itachi smirked. Deidara's grip increased tremendously, and Phire raised both of her eyebrows. He then let go of her, as Itachi was about to put him in Tsukiyomi again.

'Phire, you are going to get abashed so badly, I'm going to be laughing for over 3 days,' he growled, looking at her angrily. She smiled innocently.

'Wipe that innocent look off of your face,' he muttered. She smiled still. Some bystanders were passing by after a few seconds.

'Aw, what a cute girl,' they muttered. They were an adult-like man, his wife, and a friend of the man. Deidara's anger was beyond limits. In the moment nobody looked, he tackled Phire to the ground with immense strength that was even beyond Kakuzu's. He quickly made an exploding clone, just to fly into the air because of Phire's exploding clone.

'Damn, she's fast,' he thought. She was in the air behind him, and she elbowed him all the way into the ground, 45 feet below street level. She still smiled innocently, and then lay back in Itachi's arms. When Deidara got out, he panted.

'I may not be able to surpass you,' he stated, but didn't continue.

'I may not be able to surpass you, but I will embarrass you so badly somehow, you would just stop making fun of me,' he thought. Phire heard the thought, but didn't respond. She just rubbed her head against Itachi's chest, and she purred a little. He looked down at her, but didn't do anything else. His grip on her waist tightened a little, and they stayed like that for a few minutes.

'Time to go to the institute then,' Phire muttered. As she pecked Itachi, she got out of his grip and showed the way to the institute, and the money obsessed dude, the angry clay idiot, and the sexy evil jerk followed.
