Hi everyone!

Thank you all for your wonderful reviews but you really have to tell me what pairing you would prefer. SakuraXItachi NejiXSakura SaiXSakura DeidaraXSakura or something totally different? Tell me ;)

On with the story:

Chapter 7

After minutes of securing Deidara that she wouldn't kill him with it he lend her one of his kunais and she started to cut his hair. After a few minutes of silence except for the sounds his hair made when the sharp weapon separated it Sakura soon got bored.

Like mentioned before she was somebody who enjoyed animated conversations. Trying to start a friendly chat she asked him: "So, why did you join the Akatsuki?"

Maybe that wasn't the perfect question to ask somebody who had loved to kill you one hour ago but she was really curious about that. He seemed to be quite normal so why would he join such a badass organisation?

He hesitated a few moments before he answered. "I didn't join willingly. Itachi kinda forced me because the needed my talent, yeah."

"Talent?" Sakura repeated quizzically.

He smirked and slowly showed his closed hands to her. "Huh?" the pink-haired girl made as he tardily opened them and she could see tongs coming out of the slits.

"Woah!" she whispered and leaned closer to Deidara to examine the fine mouth at his palms.

"Can you eat with them? ". As soon as she had said that she regretted her words. That was most likely she stupidest and most infantile question she could have asked him.

But Deidara just laughed softly when he noticed the small blush that had creped over her face.

"Well, yeah but I usually just use my normal mouth to eat. Just imagine eating with your hands while you are in a restaurant. All the guest would totally panic, yeah."

Sakura chuckled "Yeah I can figure that."

A comfortable silence occurred again and she concentrated back at work. To make a good hair-style out of this mess wasn't easy after all although Ino had showed her how to cut hair perfectly years ago. While thinking about her former best friend her happiness vanished again and Deidara glanced at her carefully. "You okay, yeah?"

Faking a cheerful smile she answered:" Sure!" and signalled him that she was ready with cutting his hair. He stood up again and moved towards one of the small windows at the one side of her new room to eye his new headdress.

Obviously satisfied he turned around and walked back to her bed again. She still sat on it so she moved a little for him to make comfortable.

He flashed his typical Deidara-grin and sat down closely next to her.

But suddenly the door opened and Itachi entered her momentary prison. Seeing those two sitting so closely next to each other, he hissed: "Deidara you can leave now."

Slowly getting up Deidara gave Sakura an apologizing glance and left the room but not without glaring at Itachi when he passed him.

Itachi closed the door with much more force than he would have needed to. Gulping due to the anger he currently seemed to emirate Sakura lifted her hands from their former position in her lap and hugged herself.

"What do you want?" she demanded to know as unfriendly as possible. "No need to get bitchy." he said with his normal monotonous voice. "Just wanted to see if you are alright with Deidara watching over you."

"Yeah. I'm okay with that." she coldly answered. "I like him way better than I like you after all." She just had to add that. And she was soon rewarded by a hardly noticeable change in his facial expression. His jaw clinched and his eyebrows were furrowed together lightly.

"Well, I will leave now. Read the books I have selected for you." and with these words he turned around again. But before he had closed the door completely Sakura swallowed her anger and asked him: "What's with Neji and Sai? Are they okay?" Looking back at her he whispered threatening: "As long as you behave yourself they are fabulous."

Yeah I know that was quite short but holidays are over and school starts tomorrow again so I have to study. I just wanted to update today so I hope you can forgive me! ;)
