Tobi

"Hey, Deidara-senpai? It's okay for Tobi to go with Sasori-san to meet one of his friends, right?" I asked my blond friend, turning to him when the bell rang.

Deidara was faced away from me, putting his stuff into his backpack. When I asked my question, he stiffened, but said, "Sure. Why not, yeah?"

I wondered why Deidara had seemed so tense. He was friends with Sasori; didn't' he like his friends? I mentally shrugged and turned back to Sasori with a smile on my masked face. "'Kay. Deidara-senpai says it's okay. Tobi's ready." I grinned when I caught a flash of annoyance cross Sasori's face. I could be serious when I wanted to, but it was way too much fun annoying people.

"Alright. Follow me. We might be able to catch him," Sasori said as he pushed himself out of his seat and started walking out of the room. I followed him diligently; a quality I was known for – and one that also bugged Deidara to no end.

I still had no idea where each hall led to. It was all twisty and turny to me. But it was easier when I had someone to follow. We stopped by a classroom that I recognized by number: it was on my schedule. Kids were flowing in and out of the room looking ultimately bored. Seconds ticked by and I watched in amusement as Sasori grew more and more impatient.

"He knows I don't like waiting. And since when is he ever not early?!" Sasori muttered impatiently.

Tobi is enjoying this! Sasori-san can't stand waiting. Tobi will remember that… I looked from the redhead to another kid when someone stepped in front of us. This one was much more interesting. He had messy green hair and piercing yellow eyes. One side of him was painted black and the other white. So…Sasori-san was speaking in literal terms…? The boy smiled at me briefly before turning to Sasori. His smile left me with chills.

"Who's this?" The boy asked.

"Tobi," Sasori answered simply. I snickered at the redhead's weakness – even after the person shows up, he's still agitated.

Smiling, the colorful boy turned back to me. "Hello. I'm Zetsu." Once again, chills.

To make my voice sound happy and thrilled, I smiled under my mask. "Hi! Are you in this class?"

Zetsu's black-side's eye twitched and I grinned. "Yes. Are you?" He asked pleasantly.

I blinked a few times. Whoa! Upgrade! He just went from freaking Tobi out, to…well, not. "Yes. Tobi is."

"Well, it'd be hard to fulfill the teacher's expectations on your first day when you don't know where you're going or what you're doing. So, if you need it, I can help you," Zetsu said, sounding pleased.

I figured the side I was talking to was the white side, so Sasori had been right. His white side was nice. I felt a blush creeping up on me and mentally thanked myself for wearing this mask. Ah, the things it can hide! "Thank-you, Zetsu-san. Maybe you can help Tobi catch up on what's going on in this class?"

Zetsu nodded. "Sure. Later, Sasori." He glanced at the boy next to me.

"Bye," Sasori said, sounding rather happy, and walked off. Zetsu walked into the classroom and I followed.

Is Tobi the only one who isn't part of a web of lies and confusion?

Okay...I didn't realize how short his would be. I do have to point something out. I didn't write his entirely in third person because then it wouldn't really look like it was in his point of view. But his thoughts are in third person because, well, figure it out yourself! I don't feel like explaining it right now.

Please review.
