~Why do you that man?~

Yuki watched one of the sponsors who tripped on his way up to the podium and lose the sheets of his speech began mumbling his speech in random order. The people laughed, and Deidara seemed to be enjoying the show. Still Yuki felt bad for the man.

"I-Itachi Uchiha," the man said, he hurriedly left the podium not waiting for Itachi to show his face. He just wanted to leave the stage and forget what happened.

Yuki clapped with everybody else before gasping at the man that walked up. Her cheeks turned bright red as she stared at the handsome man, "He…he is gorgeous," she could understand why Deidara had felt jealous even she felt envious while staring at the Uchiha.

Deidara glanced at Yuki before glaring at Itachi, unhappy.

"Welcome," he spoke his voice sounded like velvet.

Yuki moved her fingers to her lips and began nibbling on the thumbnail. He eyes unmoving from the Uchiha's tall frame or looking at his handsome face. He thanked everybody that contributed, for their donation, art or simple coming to the night's event.

"The leader was pleased with how smooth everything went and thanks everybody for their help," he seemed eager to get off stage uncomfortable.

He was stiff and unmoving while he spoke. Yuki titled her head curious why they had Itachi speak in these events if he was uncomfortable. She was going to question Deidara about this but stopped at the next thing Itachi said, "he wants to expand the Akatsuki past japan maybe to America, Europe,"

He seemed to be staring at her. Yuki's heartbeat increased, she glanced behind her maybe he was staring at someone else. No one stood behind her. She glanced back at the Uchiha. He was still staring her as he spoke further about the Akatsuki clan. She only shivered, Itachi staring at her felt like a predator looking at the pray.

Deidara put a possessive hand on Yuki's shoulder. He had noticed Itachi staring and was not happy. Yuki glanced at the blond and gave a small smile. She looked back at the Itachi he wasn't staring at her anymore, she decided it was her imagination. She had been too caught up in Itachi's looks she had wanted him to notice her.

"Thank you for coming," Itachi said he bowed while claps of approval came from all the guest. People and business mergers ran to go speak with Itachi.

"ooh," she heard a female sequel, not even a few feet's away from her, "I forget how handsome the Akatsuki members can be," she was speaking to a younger woman. Her eyes on Sasori and Deidara, "I mean Itachi Uchiha is so good looking," she giggled a bit.

The young girl giggled as well her eyes also on the two Akatsuki members. The male members seemed lost in their own conversation, "I wouldn't mind if Itachi Uchiha came to me asked me out, I would love to have fun with him,"

"Girls!" an older lady spoke in a disapproving tone.

"Let's go," Deidara growled, he was finished talking with Sasori. He grabbed the females hand and dragged her away from the lobby.

Yuki followed not really arguing. It was getting boring at the lobby as people gossiped about. Or spoke loudly trying to get Itachi's attention. She didn't notice that Itachi was standing were she once stood, speaking to Sasori. His eyes were on her back watching as she followed the blond around.

"The Uchiha seems a bit scary," Yuki finally spoke, after a few minutes of silence of staring blankly at some art. She wasn't used to Deidara not speaking since he met her. She missed his smart remarks on the pieces they were staring at.

Deidara glanced at Yuki a smug smile on his lips, "Don't worry I will protect you from the big bad Uchiha prodigy," he wrapped his arms around Yuki's waist and pushed her closer.

Yuki blushed and pushed a bit away from him"A prodigy?" she questioned a bit interested.

Deidara caught the note of interest in her voice and glared at her. He quickly let go of her and glared at sculpture of a pig they had been staring at, "Yeah it isn't interesting," he crossed his arms over his chest, "just a lie the Uchiha made up to get more attention,"

"I see," Yuki spoke softly her eyes also on the sculpture. There was a bubbling interest with the Akatsuki and the Uchiha starting with in her. Why was everyone following Itachi around when there had been two other Akatsuki members present? Was Itachi more on the inside with Akatsuki? Why was that? Why did Itachi scare her? "I hope he lives up to that lie," she giggled a bit and looked at the blond and kissed his cheek.

Deidara had been caught by surprise. He turned towards her and smirked at her. He felt satisfied, like he just won a prize and the Uchiha lost.

"I don't think he is," he snorted and kept an arm wrapped around Yuki's waist.

Yuki blushed but didn't protest, "Why were people chasing after Itachi?" she questioned. Deidara glared at her but she continued, "I know he is part of the Akatsuki but what about you and Sasori?"

Deidara blinked surprised, he looked thoughtful for a moment, "he owns the Uchiha police force," he said after a moment and began walking, his arms never leaving Yuki's waist. She followed him.

"Uchiha police?" she barely heard of them. Last she heard the company went under after a massacre, only a few Uchiha's had survived. She hadn't heard of any news of them making a comeback, "I thought that company no longer existed,"

Deidara shrugged it off, "oh, they are making a comeback. Itachi and his brother got the Force working again," He didn't sound impress.

Many more questions came to mind. She found herself more interested in the Uchiha then her original intention. She wanted to know more about him, the police force and the Akatsuki. Something had been nagging that it was dangerous waters. Still she ignored and continued on digging.

"So he would have his hands full?" she questioned, "Co-operating both companies, the Akatsuki and the Uchiha police force," she sounded fascinated and impressed with the Uchiha. Deidara caught on to her awe.

"You aren't interested in him are you hmm?" his eyes narrowed as he stared at Yuki.

Yuki wasn't sure how to answer she looked at Deidara making brief eye contact before looking down, "I never said that," she was bad at lying but playing with words she was good at.

"So you are interested in him," he wasn't masking his anger.

Whoops, she wasn't that good with word play. The truth will reveal its ugly head, like it normally did around her.

"Maybe a little," she spoke slowly, "the Uchiha seems interesting," interesting was a lighter way to put it. The Uchiha was fascinating.

The blond growled sounding more like animal then human.

"But," Yuki backtracked. She was reminding herself not to have a crush on the Uchiha. It would only end in heartbreak. Itachi had so many girls following him, the fact he would even glance at her was minimum. Then there was the fact she hardly spoke to the man, "I enjoy our conversations more, your view on art is always interesting to hear," she smiled brightly at him.

Deidara seemed to calm down a little as he stared her with a smug look on his face, "Don't worry about the asshole," he spoke, he was going to ask her on a date but someone else interrupted.

"Yes," Sasori said from behind them, "I think she should really worry about you, trying to get into her pants,"

Deidara late go of Yuki to glare at the red head. He only let a fiercer growl when he saw who was next to his partner.

Yuki's face flushed red she wasn't one who liked to think about sex much less liked the topic of it. She stepped back into someone soiled, "I am sorr-," she gasped when she stared in to the dark eyes… Itachi Uchiha.
