A/N: Ah, sorry about the slow update. I meant to update quicker, but I started my new fanfiction called, "Highschool Love: It's Sweet, Yet Full Of Problems". I'm going to try to get another chapter of this in quickly, too, so I know it's updated enough, incase I forget about it, while I'm writing my other fanfiction.

Anyhow, enjoy.


Chapter 5: Reunion For Who?

---------------------------------------


"Aha! I found you!" A familiar voice said to Obito, as he turned around thinking, Oh, no... Not him...

"What do you want...?" Obito sighed.

There he was; that same two year old blond boy again.

"Where's your boyfriend?" He asked innocently.

"Not here." Obito muttered, and continued walking to where he was going.

"I can see that. But why not?" The blond asked, soon walking side-by-side with Obito.

"Because he had to go somewhere."

"I'm sure."

"Then why did you bother to ask?"

"Just wanted to know."

"Then you can go away, now."

"But aren't you lonely without your boyfriend? I noticed you around without him, so I figured I would talk to you..."

"No, I'm not lonely."

"You're sure acting like you are."

"But I'm not."

"But you're sure acting like you are."

"Will you go away...?"

"No." The blond smirked. "Because I can tell I'm right. You're upset 'cause you aren't with him, no?"

"Fine, whatever, you're right. Happy?" Obito rolled his eyes and continued walking. "I have stuff to do, so can't you just go away?"

"Not really..."

"Yes, you can."

"Not really." The blond said, as one big smile crossed his face. He was ticking Obito off, but actually, he also seemed slightly comforted by the blond.

"Hey, kid?" Obito said as he stopped walking. He turned to the blond.

"Yah?" The blond asked, blinking continuously, still smiling.

"What's your name, anyway? You never told me."

"Why do you want to know? I thought you wanted me to go away?"

"Because... I think I doubted you too soon. That's all."

"Oh... Well, my name's Deidara. I guess you can call me Dei, if you really wanted to. Most of my friends call me that."

"Okay, Deidara." Obito said, and continued walking, as Deidara followed. "Well, if you want to come with me to go get some supplies, you're welcome to."

"Yay. I feel loved." Deidara said, still blinking a lot. It was obvious he was glad to have made a friend in Obito.

"What're you doing around here, anyway?" Obito suddenly asked. "Aren't you too young to be out in town by yourself?"

"Nah... Everyone around here already knows I can take care of myself." Deidara replied, obviously trying to sound cool, but only sounding cute. (A/N: Remember, Deidara is only two years old)

"How can you do that?" Obito questioned.

"I blow stuff up. All I have to do, basically, is blow something up that'll fall and crush anyone trying to hurt me. I'm a fast learner, so... I don't think I have anything to worry about. That's what everyone tells me, anyway."

"You can defend yourself, for the most part, already? And you're so young..."

"You're still young, too."

"But you're not even five, yet. And you already know how to fight."

"Yes, yes, I do. I started learning just recently, and only in about a week were people saying I was so great for my age."

"Well, you sure sound it."

"I guess..." Deidara said, and paused. Then he said, "Hey, what's with you being so nice to me, all of a sudden?"

"I was just in a bad mood, that's all. I mean, I get up, eat breakfast, and before I'm even done with breakfast, I'm told I need to go out and get some supplies. That and Kakashi won't be back for a little while. I don't know how long, either, and it's bugging me."

"You're worried about him, aren't you?" Deidara asked, a little sympathetically.

"Well, of course. He's involved in a mission where he doesn't know any of the people he's working with, it's a dangerous mission, and I love him. So, of course I'm worried."

"Aww. You really are a good guy."

"You always thought I would be?"

"Well, you just seemed like you could be a nice guy. I dunno why I thought that, but I guess it's 'cause you seemed... different... from that Kakashi guy you were hanging out with."

"What did he seem like to you?"

"Um... A jerk... Heh..."

"Eheh... You don't think very highly of him, do you?"

"I haven't seen him do anything, yet. I don't have an opinion on him, right now. I don't like judging people too soon. That could actually... get me killed, I'm sure."

"Okay, I don't believe your two years old, anymore." Obito laughed. (A/N: Obito means that Deidara seems very smart for his age, knowing that doing certain things could possibly get him killed)

"I told you I'm a fast learner, didn't I, now?" Deidara also laughed.

Neither spoke for a while until they got to the store for the supplies. The man at the counter seemed to recognize Deidara, as for the fact that he nearly shouted, "Deidara! It's been a while!"

"Um, who are you again?" Deidara asked, bringing his head over to his right side, with a totally confused look on his face.

"Oh, come on, you don't remember me!? The man asked, and chuckled. "It's me, Genma! The one from the Leaf village! I've been working here for a little while, to keep an eye on the Stone Shinobi, because of the war."

"Oh, yeah..." Deidara said, starting to remember. "You're that guy who helped me stop the man who was attacking people here, right?"

"That I am." Genma said.

"Oh, yeah, and wasn't there a blue boy who came in and helped us? That shark boy?"

"Yes, there was a blue boy who helped us." Genma laughed.

"What's his name? D'ya know?"

"Yes, his name is Kisame. Hoshigaki Kisame. He's ten years old. He comes by here a lot, even though he's just visiting this village."

"Hmph... Everyone I've been meeting lately is older than me." Deidara said, giving a little pouting face.

"Well, you are only two years old." Genma laughed. He and Deidara got along pretty well, despite being from two different villages, and both of those villages being at war.

"Oh, oh! Sorry, Obito, you're gonna be late getting back, now, aren't you!?" Deidara freaked.

"Yeah, but don't worry about it. I'm always late, anyway." Obito laughed.

"Oh... Okay... Well, let's hurry and get those supplies!" Deidara half shouted, pointing in the direction of the supplies.

"Oh, Deidara, is he a friend of yours?" Genma asked.

"Oh, yeah! He is." Deidara said. "Right, Obito?"

"Right." Obito laughed. Obito actually now found it hard to believe he didn't get along with Deidara, at first.

"Well, since you're with him, I'll give him half price on everything." Genma said kindly.

"Aww, thankies!" Deidara said sweetly.

The two purchased more than enough, like told. (A/N: Deidara pitched in some money for supplies for Obito. Sure they had an argument about Deidara spending his money for someone he barley knew, Obito being the one telling him not to, but... let's save arguments like those for later.) As promised, Genma let them pay half price. Both went back to the house Obito's team was at.Obito, of course, told Rin and Yondaime who was with him, and that he was a friend of Genma's, so there was nothing to worry about.

Well, there was something to worry about...

Such as Sasori attacking the village's innocent people and killing quite a few, most people being women or children...


Okay, so I put Genma in this chapter. By this point, he is 16.

No, I am not making the ages up. All I did was subtract 15 from their Shippuuden ages, and there you go. (Kakashi Gaiden happened 15 years before Shippuuden, that's where I got the 15 from) That made Genma 16, Kisame 10, and Deidara 2. Oh! And Sasori 20.

And don't ask who the random guy who looked about 40 years old was... because... I have no clue. :p

And honestly, I don't think I'll ever know. :)

Well, you know the drill.

R&R, please!
