Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!
Kisame knocked on Deidara's door early in the morning. Deidara answered the door immediately; he smiled at his blue friend.
"Hey, Kisame, un." He said.
"Can I come in?" Kisame asked. Deidara stepped aside.
Akina was up and about with a bag full of stuff, and still packing. She was grabbing blankets towels, water, food, and a first aid kit.
"What's up with Akina?" Kisame asked Deidara, confused.
"She said she needed to be prepared, just in case Tobi was hurt or something, un." Akina's eyes were swollen from lack of sleep. She looked ill. Kisame decided to keep his distance from her for the moment.
"Let's go!" Akina said, finally done packing. She grabbed the two and attempted to pull them out of the house.
"Stop it Akina, yeah! We're waiting for Hidan!" Deidara said pulling his arm away from her.
"Fine! You wait for Hidan, and me and Kisame will go. Wait, where are Itachi and Sasori?" Akina asked.
"Itachi's watching his brother and Sasori's grandmother is being a pain in the ass. I'll come with you Akina, and Dei can wait for Hidan." Kisame said covering up for Itachi and Sasori.
Eventually Hidan got his lazy ass up, heading for Dei's house, hoping Akina wouldn't be there. He was pissed off at himself. He wanted to be with Akina more than life, but he felt as if he owed his parents, to stay with his religion.
"Dei, how are you?" Hidan asked when he saw Deidara standing outside, obviously waiting for him.
"Not to good, let's just get this over with, I'm ready to see Tobi, un." Deidara said, and the rest of their walk was in silence. There wasn't much either wanted to talk about.
When they made their way to the park, they saw Akina and Kisame sitting on the bench. Akina's glare increased when she saw Hidan. Deidara really didn't feel like dealing with her girlish attitudes.
"Any luck, un?" Deidara asked Kisame.
"No, none at all, not a single sign of him." Kisame said wondering what exactly ihis/i plan was.
Sasori was driving Itachi's car with Itachi in the passenger seat, and Tobi in the back. Sasori was quiet, and Tobi hadn't said a single word since he'd left the hideout. Sasori didn't blame him. He was forced into this without any consent.
"Tobi, your not allowed to say anything about what has happened over the past few days to anyone, but me, Itachi, and Kisame. Do you understand?" Sasori asked Tobi.
"Tobi understands." Tobi's voice was broken and full of sorrow.
Sasori parked the car a block away from the park. The three then began their walk to the park. Tobi continued into the park, while Itachi and Sasori hid in some of the bushes.
Tobi knew what he was supposed to do and he dreaded it with every fiber of his being. He couldn't tell Akina, Deidara, or Hidan anything about it.
As soon as Deidara saw Tobi walk through the park entrance, his eyes watered and he cried. He ran over to him as fast as he could. He hugged Tobi, but Tobi's return hug was weak and sad. Deidara, however, didn't notice. None of them did; they were to busy hugging him, and telling him how much they missed him. Kisame tried not to notice. It was too much for him to see Tobi hurt.
When they were all finished, Deidara led them all out of the park, but on his way out he swore he saw a flash of red.
Tobi didn't sleep at all that night, he stayed in Deidara's bed with Deidara, and all through the night he would whimper. Deidara tried to comfort him, hugging him and whispering sweet things to him, but nothing prevailed.
By morning Tobi was asleep and Deidara was past exhausted. Even though his body was screaming at him, he got up and went to school.
He was maybe an hour late, but right now that didn't matter. All that mattered was getting through the day.
Deidara didn't talk to anyone, he just did his school work. By lunch time everyone thought it was peculiar.
"Dei, what's up?" Akina asked, watching him stare at his food. Sasori didn't look up from his own food.
"Nothing, yea, just that fact that this whole group is falling apart, un." Deidara's voice was full of venom. No one said anything. Akina turned away and shot a look at Sasori. Sasori didn't acknowledge her, but got up and left.
The rest of the day was silent, and when Deidara got home he went straight to his room. Tobi was sitting on the couch, but he didn't ask Deidara about his mood. He did ask Akina, however.
"Does Akina know what's wrong with Deidara?" Tobi asked.
"No, not completely, but I think it has something to do with Sasori, they've been acting weird around each other." Akina said, then she turned and smiled at him.
"Do you feel better?" She asked him, changing her mood.
"Tobi thinks so, Tobi just feels a little shook up. " Tobi said quietly.
"Well tell me if you need anything, I'm going to do my homework, then I'm going to bed." Akina said leaving the room.
Tobi was dreadful. He wanted his Senpai to be happy, but he wouldn't be happy with out Sasori, and Sasori wouldn't be happy with out Deidara.
Tobi didn't know what to do, he wanted to tell Sasori to get over himself and be with Deidara, but he couldn't find the nerve to talk to him.
The next day everyone went to school, and on the way to homeroom, Deidara ran into a tall pale teacher with long black hair.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where room 207 is?" He asked, his voice sounding like a snake.
"Oh, that's chemistry, my home room. I can walk you there. Are you the new teacher, un?" Deidara asked.
"Yea, I'm Mr. Orochimaru, nice to meet, you um.."
"Deidara, un." Deidara smiled then lead the way to the classroom.
b( A/n: Remember Sasori has advanced chemistry, so Deidara and Hidan are the only ones who have Orochimaru's class. )/b
Deidara sat across the room from Hidan, unable to stand being around him so much anymore. Orochimaru took his place at the front of the class and began to teach.
Deidara found himself smiling at the way the kids were intimidated by Orochimaru, and all through out the class Orochimaru's smiles shot over at Deidara.
Deidara had to admit to himself, that Mr. Orochimaru was a little cute, I mean no where near Sasori but yet in his own weird way.
He felt better knowing that someone could make him smile, besides Sasori, and having a little joke around with a guy made him remember how much he loved being single, being able to flirt with who ever you want, not worrying if your crush is going to get jealous. . Not as much as he wanted to be with Sasori, though.
When the class finally ended Deidara stood up from his desk and began to leave. Orochimaru stopped him at the door.
"Stop by during lunch, you can show me around. I don't know where I'm going in this school." Orochimaru said smiling.
"Sure, un. See ya then, yea." Deidara said smiling then left.
Everyone surprisingly sat together at lunch. Deidara ate quickly, then got up to leave, everyone eyes shooting over to him.
"Where are you going, Dei?" Akina asked quietly. No one had said a word at the lunch table.
"I'm showing a new guy through the school, yea. See ya later, un." Deidara said, then left, before anyone could say anything else.
Orochimaru looked up from his desk when he heard a knock on the door. As Deidara stepped through his door grinning, Orochimaru smiled.
"Ready to show me around?" He asked in his low raspy voice.
"Yea, un. Follow me." Deidara smiled walking out the door with Orochimaru trailing behind him.
Deidara showed him around the school making jokes about all of his teachers, especially Mr. Gai. Orochimaru laughed, and they had a good time.
"You know Deidara, you should come visit me at my house someday, we could talk about your problems, I could help you out." Orochimaru offered slyly.
"Hmm, you know, un. I might just do that." Deidara got Orochimaru's address and with one final joke the two parted on their separate ways.
Orochimaru walked down the halls slowly, and at the corner was met by a boy with gray hair and glasses.
"Aw Orochimaru kun, I feel so unloved." The boy said.
"Silence Kabuto, we don't want to be discovered." Orochimaru said glaring at the boy, then placing a kiss on his lips,
"Everything is going exactly as we planned."
b-OOOOO!! I wonder what's going on!! LOL please review they make me happy. OO... and sorry bout the weird way Orochimaru fits into this...He scares me... honestly... so It was kind of hard to write this, but I did, so be gentle on his character...R&R!!-/b
