Nuzzling your hair, Deidara hold you to him tightly.

"I'm glad, un." He says. "Now, go back to sleep, un."

Nodding, you pull out of his warm embrace, dropping your head back onto the pillow. You feel Deidara bring the blankets up around you, and place a quick kiss on your lips before leaving. Drifting off, you barely notice the smile on your face.

Wiping your mouth disgustedly, you smack Rock Lee around the head repeatedly.

"Ahh! Suki-chan!" He cries, trying to fend off your blows. "I was only giving you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation! Like Kabuto-sensei told me to!"

"Since when does mouth-to-mouth require tongue!?" You shout, beating him harder.

"I could not help it!" Lee shouts. "You are so beautiful, Suki-chan! What man could resis-"

You smack a hand over his mouth, silencing him.

"Shh!" You hiss, thoroughly embarrassed. "Don't say that!"

"You are right!" Lee cries with a gasp, tearing away from your hand. "My beautiful Sakura-chan might hear!"

Everyone in the room, bar the teacher, groans as Lee begins to rant about how lovely Sakura is. You look towards the clock, delighted to see you only have five minutes left.

"Alright, that's enough," Kabuto says. "Sit down, Lee. The rest of you, pay attention!"
Kabuto drones on for a few minutes, before he is interrupted by the bell. The class leaps to their feet, eager to get away from the odd, silver haired man.

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

"…and then you fucking spit all over his fucking gifts…"

Wide-eyed, the whole class stares at the man before you, constantly swearing about how you all didn't deserve to live, and how you squandered God's gifts. He also said 'fuck' more times than you can count.

"…fucking hell! You're all gonna fucking burn…"

Leaning across to Tenten, you try not to be spotted by the crazed religious fanatic.

"This is R.E, right?" You hiss. She nods.

"Yeah, Hidan-sensei has always been a bit… eccentric." She whispers back. "He's probably happy there's a new kid, now he can rant at you anew."

Groaning, you drop your head on the table.

"You have a fucking problem with my fucking class, new kid?" The teacher snaps. You sit up quickly, shaking your head. "Didn't fucking think so!"

Stomping back to the blackboard, Hidan takes up a piece of chalk. Writing quickly on the board, he scrawls out some illegible writing.

"Right! This is your fucking homework!" He snaps. "Now, get the fuck out!"

You look at the clock. Sure enough, you still have half an hour of class.

"Um…" you begin, looking at Tenten. She kicks you.

"Shut up!" She hisses. "Let's go!"

You both dash from the classroom, eager to get away from the crazy teacher.

"I have to find Orochimaru-sensei!" Tenten cries, grabbing your hand. "You'll come with me, right? You won't make me go see the snake on my own, right!?"

Slightly afraid, you nod. Tenten grins, dragging you towards the main building.

"Thanks, Suki!" She cries. "I knew you wouldn't let me down!"

You let Tenten drag you through the halls, towards the science labs. On the way, you pass by a room with an open door.

"No!" A booming voice shouts. "You must put more passion into it!"

Tenten skids to a halt, an evil grin creeping onto her face.

"That's Gai-sensei!" She says. "He teaches P.E, but doubles up as a Drama teacher!"

Unable to comprehend her glee, you peek into the classroom and almost gag. The teacher, standing at the front of the class, is wearing the same outfit that Rock Lee is always wearing, the green jumpsuit, the orange leg warmers. His hair is even identical, shiny and black. His eyebrows are, if possible, even bushier.

"Ok, youthful students!" He shouts. "Try it again! With more passion!"

"No, un!" A familiar voice shouts. You look across the room, past the other seniors, to see Deidara glaring at his sensei. "Hell no, un!"

"But Deidara-senpai!" Tobi cries. "We must!"

"Tobi is right!" Gai shouts. "Be youthful Deidara!"

Deidara looks like he wants to scream. You stifle a laugh, trying not to be spotted. Deidara takes a deep breath, turning back to Tobi.

"Fine, un," he snaps. The rest of the seniors either smirk or repress laughter. You wonder why.

Suddenly, Tobi sweeps Deidara into his arms, leaning him down slightly in a dip. Deidara wraps his arms around Tobi's neck. Your eyes bulge, your jaw dropping open.

"Oh, my love, un!" Deidara cries in an over the top voice. "Please! I am but a fair maiden, un! Do not play with my heart, un!"

You don't think your eyes can open any wider.

"Never!" Tobi responds. "Tobi loves you too-"

"Stop!" Gai-sensei shrieks. "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Deidara tears out of Tobi's arms immediately.

"Recite the lines!" Gai shouts, pointing at Tobi. "Recite the lines as they are!"

"Tobi is!" Tobi shouts.

"The lines are not 'Tobi loves you too, sweet Abigail!' They are 'I love you too, sweet Abigail! See the difference!?"

"Tobi cannot help it!" Tobi cries. "Tobi tried!"

"Well try harder!" Gai shouts. "Use the power of Youth!"

Deidara stomps away from them, glaring at the other seniors. Looking over at the door, he catches sight of you, trying to keep your laughter in desperately. Stomping towards you, the blonde's eye shines furiously. Tenten grabs your arm, tugging you from the door. As you both dash down the corridor, you can't resist a look over your shoulder. Deidara is leaning out of the door, watching you. You discreetly blow him a kiss before rounding the corner.

Giggling, Tenten drags you towards the chemistry lab, stopping outside of it. Her giggles die as she stares at the door. Taking a deep breath, she reaches for the handle. Freezing, you looks at you.

"Ok, now, Orochimaru-sensei…" Tenten mumbles. "Is a bit intimidating…"

You frown, wandering how bad he can be.

"So," Tenten continues. "Just be pre-"

"If you're going to open the door," a cold silky voice sounds. "Open it!"

Tenten jumps, opening the door immediately. She slinks into the dark room, you follow close behind her. Moving towards the desk at the front of the room, Tenten begins to rummage in her bag. You follow her like a shadow, not liking the look of all the jars filling the room, filled with odd animals and other unidentifiable things. At the teachers desk sits a pale man, his long black hair falling straight around his face. His golden eyes take you in carefully before returning to Tenten.

"So, Miss Tensakai," Orochimaru drones. "What can I do for you? You don't need an extension again, do you?"

Tenten shakes her head vigorously.

"No sir!" She squeaks, dropping a stapled stack of paper on his desk. "I've already finished!"

Orochimaru raises his eyebrows.

"Already?" He asks. "I only gave it to you on Monday."

"I know, sir!" Tenten says. "I-I already finished!"

"Hmm…" Orochimaru picks up the paper. "Well done."

Tenten flashes him a bright smile before grabbing your hand to drag you from the room.

"Wait," Orochimaru calls. You both stop, turning to face the chemistry teacher again. "Is this the new girl? Akasuki?"

You swallow, nodding. Orochimaru favors you with a thin smile.

"My nephew has spoken of you," he says. "He seems to like you."

"N-Naruto?" You ask. Orochimaru nods. "Oh, yes, we're friends sir."

"Good," Orochimaru murmurs. "I hope you stay friends for a long time."

You catch the underlying threat in Orochimaru's voice and blink.

'Is he threatening me? So I stay friends with Naruto?"

"I do too, sir," you reply, still confused. Orochimaru nods, flicking his fingers. Apparently it's a familiar gesture, as Tenten grabs your hand, dragging you from the room.

Outside, you lean against the wall.

"What the hell?" You mutter. Tenten sighs.

"Glad that's over," she murmurs. "Yeah, he has that sort of effect on people."

Shaking your head, you try to clear the thoughts of the creep teacher away.

"What class next?" You ask. Tenten smiles.

"Drama," she says. "With Gai-sensei."

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

"And thus, the wonderful subject of Drama was introduced to K.A.G.T!" Gai finishes dramatically. You continue to stare at the green man, not sure whether to believe him or not. His whole speech included a song, a dance and an interval.

"Ok, sir," you murmur. Gai grins at you.

"Now, my youthful students!" He booms. "We shall pick up where we left off last week! Back into your pairs!"

The students break off into pairs, mumbling. Tenten smiles at you apologetically before moving to sit with Juugo. Kankuro throws a paper ball at his brother's head, causing the red head to glare at him. Nevertheless, Gaara moves to sit with him. Rock Lee bounds over towards Neji. Neji glares at him, before moving over to Gai.

"Gai-sensei," Neji says. "Since we are odd numbered, maybe you should work with Lee, and I'll work with Akasuki."

"Huh?" Is your oh-so-intelligent answer. Neji rolls his eyes. Or at least, you think he did. It's hard to tell.

"Excellent idea, Neji!" Gai cries. "Suki! You'll work with Neji! I'll work with Rock Lee!"

"Hai Gai-sensei!" Lee shouts, bounding over and giving him the thumbs-up, blinding the class with his smile. Gai returns the gesture.

You blink a couple of times. Neji snorts, drawing your attention to the Hyuga.

"What?" You ask. He raises an eyebrow.

"Nothing. Let's go over here," Neji says, leading you to the other side of the room.

"Why?" You ask. Neji tosses you an irritated look as he sits down in a vacant chair.

"You'll see," he says simply.

"Ok Youthful youths!" Gai shouts. You jump. Sure enough, if you had been standing any closer, you might have become deaf. "Practice!"
The pairs spread out through the large room, each student producing a sheet of paper. Neji pulls his out as Lee bounds over with another copy.

"Here you are, Suki-chan!" He cries. You take the paper gingerly.

"Thank you Lee," you murmur. Lee flashes you a bright smile before vanishing. You sweep your eyes over the paper, and sure enough, it's the same skit that Deidara and Tobi were doing. You turn to Neji.

"So, were you Abigail or Rupert?" You ask, holding in a snigger. Neji glares at you.

"Abigail," he growls. "But now you are."

"Really?" You say sarcastically. "What a surprise."

Neji ignores you, scanning the lines briefly.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He asks suddenly. You freeze.

"What?" You ask, mind racing.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Neji repeats, still not meeting your eyes.

'Hmm… is Deidara my boyfriend? I don't know…'

"I-I…" You stutter. "I don't know…"

"You don't know?" Neji asks, raising his eyebrows. You shake your head. "Well, if that becomes a definite 'no' come find me."

As you stare at him, Neji returns to his skit.

'…the hell!?'

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

Slinking out of the main building, you look around quickly before darting across to the other side of the building.

'Ok, so far so good. No Deidara, and no Neji… thank Kami-sama…'

Dashing around the building, you make a quick break for the cafeteria. Leaning against the wall, you catch your breath and prepare for the final sprint to the dorm building.

Looking around, you see everything's clear. Dashing forward, you make it through the doors, passing a startled Shizune and tapping the elevator button repeatedly.

"You know, that doesn't help," an amused voice behind you says. You leap three feet in the air, turning to face Neji.

"It makes me feel better," you mumble, hitting the button again. The doors swing open and you dart in. Neji follows, face expressionless. You hit the button for floor three while the doors close. Neji reaches around you and presses the button for floor two.

"So, Suki," Neji says as soon as the doors hit each other. "Are you going with anyone to the football game?"

"Um, my friend, Suigetsu," you reply, desperately trying to think of a way to deter his advances. "He doesn't go here."

"Obviously," Neji drawls. "Or I would know who he is."

Biting your lip you watch as the elevator climbs to the first floor, stopping. The doors slide open and Naruto barrels in.

"Suki!" He cries. "I haven't seen you all day!"

"This elevator is going up, failure," Neji says coldly. You blink, surprised. Naruto seems unfazed by Neji's coldness.

"Oh look, it's a pretty birdie!" He coos. You stare at the two, noting the flush of anger on Neji's face. "Aww, do you want to be let out of your cage?"

"Watch it, failure," Neji hisses. "You're on thin ice!"

The elevator stops at the second floor, the doors opening. Neji throws Naruto one last glare before exiting. You sigh in relief, turning to Naruto.

"So where are you going?" You ask, curious. Naruto grins at you.

"I have to talk to the Old Hag," he informs you, pulling out a key card and swiping it without looking. Hitting the button for the fifth floor, Naruto flashes you a bright grin as the doors open on the third floor.

"Bye Suki!" He says as you exit. "See you at the game!"

You nod to him, wandering down the hall towards your room. Before you can get there, another door opens and a pair of hands drag you inside. Before you can scream your captor whirls you around. You glare at the blonde.

"Damn Deidara, you scared the crap out of me!" You scold. He narrows his visible eye.

"Good, un!" He announces. "That's what you get for laughing at me, un!"

Just Deidara reminding you of the incident sends you into a fit of laughter.

"Like that, un!" Deidara cries. "Stop it, un!"

"Too funny!" You chuckle, leaning against his chest for support. "Don't sulk, Abigail!"

"Ahh! Stop that, un!" Deidara snaps. You shake your head, wrapping your arms around him. Deidara raises his own around your shoulders, grumbling. You chuckle softly before looking up at him. He is staring pointedly across the room.

"Dei-Dei," you croon in a sing-song voice. "Dei-Dei!"

"What, un?" He grumbles. You nuzzle his chest softly.

"Hyuga Neji was hitting on me today," you inform him. Deidara's arms stiffen around you. "Now, last time I tried to deter a guy from hitting on me, well… here I am. So how do I get rid of him?"

"Hmm…" Deidara's arms tighten around you again. "My way or a complicated way, un?"

"What's your way?" You ask curious. Deidara grins down at you.

"This," he says simply, before latching his mouth to your neck, sucking furiously.

"Deidara!" You hiss. "Get off!"

Deidara looks up at you, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"But if he sees you marked, un," Deidara murmurs. "He'll know you're taken, un."

"Am I?" You ask, before you can stop yourself. Deidara looks down at you, confused.

"Huh?" He tilts his head to the side. You bite your lip, looking to the side.

"He asked me if I have a boyfriend," you mutter. "I-I didn't know how to respond…"

Deidara bites your neck suddenly, causing you to jump.

"Deidara!" You cry. "What was that fo-"

Deidara cuts you off with a deep kiss. You mewl against his mouth, fisting his hair. Deidara pulls you against him, obviously wanting full-body contact.

Breaking away for air, you look up at him confused.

"Yes, un," he hisses. "You are taken, un. You are mine, un. You can tell the Hyuga you have a boyfriend, un."

"But I can't tell him who, right?" You mumble. Pain flashes in Deidara's eyes.

"Suki…" he murmurs. "Look, telling people will hav-"

Deidara is cut off as the door slams open. Before you can break apart, Tobi bounces in.

"Deidara-senpai!" He cries. "Tobi was at the lib-"

Tobi stops dead, staring at you. You freeze your hands still in Deidara's hair, his lips near your neck.

Well, as your R.R teacher says.

"Fuck."
