Shinobi Highschool for Gifted Individuals Chapter 12: The bench, two freaks and a dropout, a naruto fanfic

Okay... so Foreign Language is done. Now..it's free period for the three and they're staying after class..what's Itachi's secret? What's wrong with Deidara today? It will all be answered today. Now, here are the responses for my reviewers of the last chapter!! Sorry peoples, turns out I'm not going to up the rating after all. My four-year old sister plays on this computer too much, and you know what? She just learned how to read. Ugh. I know, it's hilarious at first, but then jadedfox2 requested more Dei-Saso moments.

marufu-chan - Squeee! I can't stop from admiring you picture everyday! I LOVE IT!! The colors, the detail, the hair, the bodies!!!! Kawaii desu!!! You're about the same age as my sister, but she's been drawing since she was in third grade, so she has more experience...DDR on computer? Wasn't that the Keyboard master thingy? But I such at using my hands. Hence the drawing disability...

ShashukothePaisleyMaiden - That's fine. As long as you're having fun reading, I'm happy!

MeestahBunBun - Yuppers, I think people like to read unique stories over the same old thing. Hooray for hugs!!

S-J - No need to thank me. I know a lot of readers don't have accounts or have no need for one, so I kept up that feature. Thanks!! And I'm very sure that Dei has a younger sister that died in the anime...It's mentioned somewhere, but you can get the hint that he has one if you read the right Dei-Saso stories 'round - But you were truly my inspiration! Through thick and thin chapters, you reviewed! This chapter is funny at first, then melds into somewhat melodramatic scene.

Miss Awesome - Squee! Another reader comes to the light! No, I don't think you have, but it's great to finally hear from you! OMG. People older than me, but younger than 21 read this.. OMG.

Deidara's wife - I know! Such anxiety inducing cliffhangy!! I hope you enjoy this one as well! Ah, yes.

DISCLAIMER:: I do not own Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Sasori, Deidara, or the other Akatsuki in this story. I tried beating Kishimoto in a staring contest. I bet you he did something to those sunglasses of his..

"Yeah mom?" Itachi said. "What is it?"

Mrs. Uchiha giggled. "It's about your two friends here. Now I think Deidara-san would be the perfect match for you!"

"Tch." Itachi replied. "Mom! What have I told you? Wait, I didn't tell you yet, but Deidara's a GIRL. I repeat, A GIRL!"

"And what's wrong with me being a girl, un?" Deidara interjected. "Wouldn't that make even more sense for us to be a perfect couple? Although, I have my eyes set on somebody else, un..."

Sasori gave her an odd look that clearly said, 'What?'

The arguing continued between Itachi and his mom. "I've told you already mom." he ranted on. "I ALREADY HAVE a boyfriend."

Deidara looked at one person to the other. "Is Itachi a girl too, un?" she asked.

Sasori slapped her over the head. "No, brat. HE is gay."

She didn't respond, all she was doing was staring at Sasori.

"What?" they all asked.

"What, un?"

Itachi looked at her for a long time before grinning. It was a mischiveous grin that Itachi wasn't supposed to have.

"I see now..." he said. "But, not the point. Mom, I'm not going to dump Kisame because you THINK you found somebody else perfect for me. See you later."

"Kisame, un?" Deidara said as the raven haired teen left the classroom. After Itachi had disappeared from sight, (which had not taken very long) the two waved good-bye to Mrs. Uchiha and walked into the courtyard, having nothing to do and not wanting to stay in the building. They sat down on the same bench they sat on that morning.

"Hey, Deidara?" Sasori asked. "Weren't you going to explain why you looked so depressed earlier?"

"Oh yeah, un." she said. "Well, it's a long story actually."

Deidara momentarily glanced at him as if looking for a sign. Not finding one, she took a deep breath and started.

------Ten years ago.. ------

Deidara's POV

It was almost time for testing! I filed into the classroom with the rest of the kids for the Chunin Exams in Konoha... There were lots of tough looking sound genin, but I was sure that I could kick their asses anyway. My friends and I were the only ones from Iwagakure. We weren't a genin team, heck, we weren't even really ninja yet, but here we were, facing off these genin that were supposedly the best of their village. No sweat, if I fail, I jut have to make sure I stay alive so I can take the test again. A couple hours later, I can't even remember what happened, but the Hokage was holding up my hand as these colorful pieces of paper floated to the floor. Apparently, I was the only one who became a chunin. I was given a vest and was free to go. I left the arena I was in and Aniki was right at the entrance waiting for me. I jumped up and hung on his neck.

"Aniki, un!" I yelled. "I made it! Ibiki said if he could grade me on that test, I would get an A, un!"

------Four years after that event------

Deidara's POV

Yay! My sensei told us about this new system of teaching and learning, and I'm a sixth grader! How cool is that? I rushed home to tell Aniki. I unlocked the door and went inside, only to find it empty. Usually he was there to greet me in the kitchen, but he wasn't there. I went upstairs and knocked on his bedroom door, which was locked and had an odd smell coming from the inside... I kicked it down in worry, only to have scarred myself for the second time in my life. Aniki. My Aniki was not just lying on the floor. No, he was on the walls and the ceiling too. Instincts took over and my hands and body moved on their own, cleaning up the mess for survival...

------Back to the present------

Author's POV

"Since we were poor, without parents, and too young to work, be bought whatever food we could, un. Meat was really expensive, se we drank blood in replacement." Deidara said. (I'm not sure if blood replaces meat, just putting it here) "It became a habit and survival instinct after a while, un. I drank the blood of my mom, dad, and Aniki. I don't even know why they died, un! Why did they die Sasori-kun?"

Sasori was speechless at first. He turned to Deidara when he decided on words and found her with tears flowing down her crestfallen face. Sasori reached out to her, stopped halfway, only to pull her into a hug. Deidara made no move to stop him, she just tilted her hed a tad. He let go and wiped away her tears.

"It's okay Dei-chan." he whispered.. "It's okay."

Sasori tried to take a look at her face, but ended up leaning so low that his head was on her lap. His face flushed a deep color and he tried to get up, but Deidara stopped him.

Deidara's POV

My chest constricted painfully after I finished telling him my story. Before I knew it, tears were falling down my face. Then I felt arms wrap around me into a tight embrace. I tilted to see the it was Sasori. He wiped the tears off my face before whispering comforting words in my ear. He leaned in to see how I was doing, but I hid my face from his view. But no matter how hard I tried, Sasori saw my face anyway. His head was in my lap, and when he noticed, he blushed and tried to get up. I stopped him before he could do so, however. He took the guesture and relaxed. I stared at him for awhile, taking in the details of his face. I reached out and stroked Sasori's cheek. In turn, he took my hand in his and looked deeply into my eye, like he was searching for the pureness in my heart and soul, he found it in no time and his hardened eyes softened. If it weren't for his beautiful brown eyes, I would have really thought he was younger than I am. But, I found a mature side in his appearance, his stance, his attitude.. My heart lost its tension and suddenly opened up with my feelings as the key to its lock. I think I actually..

Sasori's POV

I don't know why she stopped me from getting up, but I got the feeling it made her feel better for us to stay like this, no matter how uncomfortable I was...As long as it made her happy, I can't stand to see her cry. It hurt me enough the first time. Deidara reached out and stroked my cheek. The motions of her hand felt soft and loving. I grasped her hand. As I lay there, holding her hand, I thought, this might be a trick...but she's not really the one to act like that is she? Searching her visable eye for any sign of treachery, I instead found a trusting soul that had been closed off for quite a long time. I analyzed the aspects of her guise. Deidara's bangs hung over her eye, shielding a portion of her face, but not so much to hide the beauty. Aquamarine irises gazed into mine. Light pink lips that were kept hidden halfway behind her hair. I wanted to see it all. My free hand extended upwards and swept away her bangs. Deidara gasped and made a move to stop me from seeing, but stopped, after viewing my unchanged expression. Her face held a mechanism over her right eye..but it didn't keep me from having this strange and foreign feeling. Her tensed muscles relaxed as I swept my hand across her scope and caressed her young face. So sweet, so vulnerable. I don't want anybody to hurt her..I'll do everything I can to stop that from happening. I don't care if a puppet's not supposed to feel that way, I still have my heart, and it aches for her. I know it's wrong, but I'm still lying here. I think I might actually...

Author's POV

As the two held each other close, hand in understanding hand, a certain genin drop-out from that very same school watched them from the bushes. The bell rang and the two stood up, looking at each other deeply. As they walked into the building, only that very genin noticed a microscopic red spot the had appeared on the bench... He left to tell Orochimaru about the finishing of project D's stage two... Deidara and Sasori didn't even realize they were still holding hands whilst they entered Shinobi History. As he pushed open the door, the red head earned a few snickers and a faceful of laughter. The two soon found that they were still together and jumped away from each other, blushing. Jiraiya hid his face from the dirty thoughts going through his head before turning back to the class.

"Settle down kids." he said. "Get out your tailed demon homework and pass it up to my desk."

Deidara raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering that piece of homework. She searched through her pockets and miraculously found it in one of her pockets, covered in scribbles of her Foreign Language translation. Sasori fetched it out of his backpack and handed it up, like Deidara did.

Class was quite uneventful that day, causing Sasori to fall even deeper into boredom of the school. He then again damned the district's rule for not letting him skip a grade. But then again, why had Deidara? The bell rang and he thought deeply on the subject while he was packing up. Why HAD the blonde been upped a grade? She was fifteen, so she was supposed to be at level one academic standards for this school... In fact, after training and doing missions after your achievement of chunin, you would have to be at least fifteen to even enter this school. He looked at the blonde as she shoved things into her pockets. Even she didn't know why she had been put in second level. They walked outside together a bit, then bade one another good-bye as they each went their seperate ways. Deidara meandered down the roads, suddenly feeling a little restless, so she jumped onto a tree branch and happily continued her trip home bouncing off branches, seemingly completely oblivious to the sound ninja following her home. Sasori strode in the same manner along side the yards of houses, but being careful not to release the concentrated chakra strings he had attatched to his fingers. Sasori made handseals with his free hand that sent a message to a certain somebody, knowing how fast the reply will come. Then he walked into his house with his arm extended, and seemingly floating out to the direction in which his target was attatched to the strings.

"Nii-san!!" Temari and Kankuro wailed. "HELP!!!"

They were running away from Gaara's nursery to hide behind their older cousin. Sasori could hear growls coming from the said room. Sighing, he turned to Kankuro and held out his arm.

"Could you hold on to these for me?" he asked him, allowing the chakra strings to become slightly more visable. The small boy nodded and took the strings and attatched them to his fingers. Temari ran into the kitchen to get her fan, ran back, and opened it so it shielded the two from Gaara's nursery. The sound of spilling sand, thumps, and a few splurts here and there sounded. The toddlers relaxed as a final crack was heard and they came out from behind the fan to see Sasori plugging back in his arm and legs and wiping a cut off his face. He finally stood up and looked at Temari and Kankuro. Steering them into the kitchen for lunch, he started cooking and asked them,

"What happened?"

"Well," Temari started. "Kankuro was looking through the kitchen for something to drink. There was no more milky in the fridge and he found a brown package that told us to add water and sugar. I was watching Gaara and he woke up so Kankuro mixed the stuff with water and sugar and put it in Gaara's bottle, so Gaara drank it and Shukaku came out since Gaara's body couldn't take it..."

"You gave him coffee.." Sasori said. "You gave him coffee... I wonder how that'll stunt his growth later on.."

He finished the fried rice he was making for the two, put it on their plates, and took the chakra strings back from Kankuro.

"I'll be back in a little while okay?" Sasori said. "Don't cause any chaos while I'm gone."

With that being said, he left the safety of his home and followed his chakra strings to a certain blonde jumping from tree to tree. Deidara just happily made her way home, as it was in clear sight whilst she was in the trees. However, she slipped on a branch and fell. Landing straight down sitting.

"That never happened before, un." she said looking bck up at the tree. "Oww..."

She rubbed her bruised backside, and as she did, she noticed the blue strings Sasori had attatched to her.

"What the-?"

Then Deidara remembered their duel earlier that day.

"Sasori-kun, un." she whispered shaking her head. She continued going on until she heard the footsteps of who she thought she knew. Deidara turned around to see.. blue haired girl?

"Umm...Hi." the girl said. "Are you Deidara-chan?"

The blonde slowly nodded, and the girl extended her hand.

"I'm Konan. Please to meet you."

Deidara took a step back remembering the last time she shook hands.

"Eheh..."

Another pair of footsteps were heard soon after.

"Hi Sasori-kun, un!" Deidara said, trying to wave, but finding herself unable to. Instead Sasori twitched his fingers and and Deidara sat down on the floor.

"Hey!"

Sasori just smirked. "Nice to see you've met our secretary."

"What are you talking about, un?" she asked. "Secretary for what? And why'd you follow me home, un?"

No comment... Okay, so I'm sorry for the superly long wait, this probably won't make up for it... Yes, secretary for what? And why? Can you guess? I thought that cliffhangies would be more appropriate for chapters like this. By the way, here's a coversation me, my sisters, and cousins had. Their boys if you were wondering. Justing is my eldest boy cousin, To being my older sister, Man being my younger, and Jonathan being Justin's little brother.

Jonathan: Hey Muppie! (My lil sister's nickname) Take off your glasses and pour the chocolate

Man: Wha-? NO!

Me: Jonthan, are you gay?

To/Man: How long have you known this? --- Dr. Phil voice

Justin: For his whole life I've known him to be gay.

Jonathan: Hey Dr. Phil! Where's the chocolate?
