Eh, a really short chapter. It could have been better...
The one thing I like about this chapter is the part with Niko again X3 "Heh heh, from how you reacted I must have interupted something. Call me when you're done."
That's Niko for you. She can always turn a situation into a frustraiting quarrel.
Well enjoy I'll have the next one up soon.

Chapter VII

'Tell Me'

Tinnara fluttered her eyes open reveiling the the same room she woke up to the day before. She tried to get up but couldn't for she felt something wrapped around her waist. Looking over she saw a sleeping Deidara with his arm still around her. She laughed lightly. His hair was a trangled mess. Just then he opened his eyes.

"Ugh..." he groaned. "Morning..." Deidara smiled, "Heh, we must have fallen asleep when we were hugging."

They both laughed. "You should see your hair, you have major bed head." Tinnara giggled. Deidara turned away, his cheeks turning red. "God dammit Deidara! Why do you always do that when I make a comment like that?"

He let go of her waist and sat up, still not looking at her. Tinnara sighed. She hung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. Her clothes were a little rinkled from sleeping in them but they'd be fine. "Why do you never tell me anything?" her arms crossed in front of her. "We agreed that we were friends but you've never done anything to prove so. You are always so distant... and then you betrayed me..." She drag her nails into her skin which caused you wince a little. Deidara's eyes saddened. "Why... why did all of this happen...?"

"Do you really want to know why?" she heard a voice tenderly wisper into her ear. Tinnara's eyes widened in surprise. Dispite her incredable hearing abilities she wasn't able to hear him move. Her body began to shake as a pair of strong hands took hold of her arms and pushed her against a wall, him leaning over her slightly. "I don't mean to be the way I am... it just happens whenever I'm around you..." his grip on her arms tightened. Tinnara winced at the pain.

"Deidara, you're hurting me..." her voice cracked. He looked up at her and he let go of her arms as he stood up strait.

"See... when it comes to expressing my feelings openly... I-i find difficult..." Tinnara was surprised to hear this coming from his mouth. "I guess what I'm trying to say is..." he came in closer filling the space between them. "I..." his lips grazed hers making her face blush a bright pink. The moment was so silent they could hear each others heart beating. Deidara gentally began to press his soft lips against hers.

"Deidara! Deidara answer your door!" A voice boomed from behind the door. He stopped and they both caught their breath. "Deidara open the god damn door!" the voice shouted again. Deidara went in once more to give her a quick kiss. "This is the last time I'm asking before I break this door down!" He stopped only a few millimeters away from her face then turning his head to glare at the door. Suddenly the door flung off his hinges. "When I tell you to open the door I mean- Oh what do we have here." Niko said evilly obviously refering to to their position.

Tinnara's blush darkened. "Nothing happened Niko! Shut up!" Deidara said his words full of venom.

"Heh heh, from how you reacted I must have interupted something. Call me when you're done." She joked as she closed the door.

"NIKO!"

"Done already? You really don't waist time." Niko laughed.

Tinnara pushed pass Deidara. "Heh, yeah. Well, um..."

"Wow! Her close as even rinkled! Fast job, huh?" Niko winked at him.

Deidara began to run at her but Tinnara grabbed him by his collar. "Niko to tell you the truth, nothing happened. My clothes are rinkled because I just woke up."

"Okay!" Niko smiled dropping the act. "Hey if you ever need to borrow any clothes just ask. They'll probably fit you better than Dei-kun's."

"Heh heh, thanks Niko." Tinnara smiled.

"You're welcome Tinnara!" she hugged her, "Anything for Dei's, ehem, friend."

Niko let go and they both laughed like life long friends. "Anyway, what did you come here for Niko?" Tinnara asked.

"Oh yeah! Dave, I mean leader-sama, wants to see you two." Niko said. Deidara tensed up.

"Do you know what for?" he asked.

Niko shook her head. "No. He just just said it was important."

Tinnara shivered. Last time she met the leader he was really mysterious and got really pissed when Niko interupted. "Hey Tinnara-chan." Deidara shook her shoulder lightly. "It would be best if we didn't keep him waiting." she nodded and both walked out into the hallway. "And happy bithday."

"How did yo-"

"It was in your file." he answered quickly.

"And you remembered?" she asked curiously. Deidara didn't answer. "So what do you think the Akastuki leader wants?"

"I don't know..." Deidara said quietly. There was something he wasn't telling her and whatever that was made her chakra jump. 'This is not going to end well...'
