Chapter 5. -Rest of the Day-

All nine of them walked back into the room and sat on the seats again, a new air about them, the newly formed Akatsuki. They all glance at each other as they awaited the principal to announce there punishment…

First he gave them all a lecture on how disappointed he was and how bad there actions had been. Hidan laughed at everything the old man said and this got him plenty of glares.

After all this he looked at them all and said, "You all are cleaning the cafeteria…I don't care if you are missing classes…you will have to make up the time you missed on your spare time."

Hidan shrugged, he didn't care, it was the first day of school, they wouldn't be doing much anyway, and no one really looked worried anyway…well except Itachi and Sasori.

The principal pointed at the door, "Get going…you stay here till you're done."

The nine teenagers left the room and headed back down the stairs to the cafeteria.

Hidan looked at each of them in turn, they weren't a very talkative group…in fact he sensed tension amongst them…probably Blondie and Red…he had sensed something between them earlier as well.

They got to work scrubbing tables…well actually Tobi cleaned, everyone else sat on one of the tables in awkward silence.

"Is this all we're going to fucking do! Sit here not doing anything!" Hidan yelled, if anyone was listening.

Most of them just looked at him, but the girl perked up, "He's right, this is boring! Why don't we all say something about ourselves!?" she declared, "I'm Konan! And not only am I the only girl in this group, I'm also probably the most talented!"

Deidara looked at her and smiled, "Most talented at what, un?"

"You know…uh…girl stuff…oh and origami!" she said.

Deidara laughed and Konan stuck her tongue out at him.

"It looks like Deidara there is pretty good at girly stuff to, isn't that right blondie?" Kisame said, smiling to reveal a row of sharp white teeth.

"And why the hell do you sigh at the end of every sentence!? Is something fucking wrong with you?" Hidan said bursting into laughter, surprised no one else had poked at that one yet.

Kisame burst into laughter as well.

Deidara clenched his fist and Konan grabbed his arm, "Leave it." She said in a scolding tone. The blonde glared at Hidan then at Kisame then he crossed his arms and looked down at the floor.

Hidan stood up on the table, "Alright! My turn! I'm Hidan, and I'm the damn sexiest Jashinst that every got kicked out of a school for stabbin some kid." He said with a smile, the others looked confused and a little scared.

"You murdered someone?" Konan asked.

"…" he let his head drop, "No…he lived, I apparently didn't hit a vital or anything serious…"

"Well that's very reassuring, un…" Deidara said rolling his eyes.

"You're lucky you're not spread out on the floor already, Blondie…" Hidan hissed sitting back down.

"I like to scare freshmen…" Kisame said with a sly grin.

"Sure you have no problems with that do you." Hidan said with a laugh and a smirk.

Kisame rolled his eyes and then a sudden silence drifted over them again. No one interrupted it…

Hidan turned to Deidara who kept glancing over at Sasori. An evil smile spread across the albino man's face, "So Blondie, you like Red don'tcha!?" split the silence just like that.

Deidara's visible eye widened as he looked at Hidan. Sasori looked wide eyed from Hidan to Deidara. Everyone looked confused and slightly disgusted, as if they were all straight.

"WHAT THE HELL, UN! NO!" Deidara yelled at Hidan, who just smirked in reply.

"You DO!" He broke into another fit of laughter clutching his chest as he felt tears come to his eyes, "Ohmigod!"

Deidara was starting to blush as the albino man laughed at him. He opened his mouth a couple times but no words came out… he had no idea what he should say. Admit that Hidan was right? He didn't think so.

He let out a short sigh of relief as Tobi jumped out of nowhere.

"I'M DONE!!" The hyperactive masked teen said loudly.

Everyone looked around in shock; he had actually cleaned the entire room in just that short a time… that wasn't normal.

Hidan looked at the clock, "Damn there's still half an hour till school is over…wanna just sit here for the rest of that, we still have to find out Blondie's true feelings for red."

"We have names, you know…" Sasori said in an annoyed tone, his eyebrow twitching slightly in annoyance.

"Wow…I didn't even know you talked! How the hell was I suppose to know you had a name!?" Hidan exclaimed.

Sasori sighed, "My name is Sasori…and are you really as stupid as you seem…?"

Hidan frowned at the red head, "No I'm not…are you really such a fucking browner?"

Sasori just glared at him and Hidan snorted angrily.

"So why exactly did you form Akatsuki, Pein?" Itachi asked trying to get everyone else to stop biting at each others throats.

Pein looked at the Uchiha; he had everyone's attention now. "I figure power is a good thing no matter where you are. A group, like what we have here, combines brains, strength and everything in between."

Kisame laughed slightly and Kakuzu glared at the blue skinned person.

"I see…" Itachi said quietly nodding and looking down at the floor.

Konan looked at everyone then she grabbed Deidara's arm and dragged him off, into one of the corners of the large cafeteria.

"I like Pein." She said with a smile.

"Why?" Deidara replied cocking an eyebrow.

"I don't know…he's just so…" she let out a loving sigh and glanced at the pierced man.

"You like his piercings don't you, un…?"

"NO!"

Deidara just looked at her.

"Well…maybe…they make him look like a punk."

"You like the punk look, un?" Deidara said with a chuckle.

"Yes…but Deidara you should really shut up! You CLEARLY like Sasori, even an idiot like that Hidan kid noticed it."

"So…"

"Ask him out! I think he's gay as well."

"You really think so…he doesn't strike me as a fag, un…"

"Your gaydar broken or something? He's clearly not into girls and did you see the way he blushed when you kissed him earlier."

"Please don't' bring that up, un...and he probably blushed cause I had just kissed him right in the middle of class, it doesn't mean he's gay, un."

"Ya but you didn't see how he acted after you ran out of the room like that."

"Oh god…do I want to know, un?" he said wincing.

"Yes I think you do, especially if you like him."

"Okay. I'm all ears, un."

"Well when you left he was still bright red. Every time someone would bring it up he would blush even more and hide in his knees."

Embarrassment…Deidara thought.

"Then I went up and asked him why he kept blu-"

"WAIT! You went up and TALKED to him, un?" Deidara interrupted.

"Will you NOT interrupt me!? Yes I did go talk to him to ask him why he kept blushing when we were putting the desks back…" she started explaining ignoring Deidara's
cold stare, "And he just looked at his feet and blushed more, 'uh…because…'" She did a stupid little impression that was miles off. But that wasn't embarrassment…no…Sasori, from what Deidara knew, didn't act like that and would back up a good reason…so he obviously didn't have a good reason which more then likely meant that, unfortunately, Konan was right.

"Ok so what, un? Even if he does like me he's not going to come out and say it, un."Deidara stated rolling his eyes.

Konan looked deep in thought for a moment, "I GOT IT! You gotta get him alone and kiss him again and gauge his reaction!" She stated, pleased with her idea.

Deidara rolled his eyes, "I don't think he would let me get alone with him, un."

"Ask him to help you with math homework or something."

"I don't even have Math this semester, un."

"It doesn't matter! He looks smart; just try to act casual when you ask! Your mom's not home this week, you'd be with just him for a couple hours! C'mon Deidara! Just do it!"

"Fine…I'll ask him to help me with homework, un," he said looking at the floor then Konan again.

"YES! Now back to ME! I like Pein! Do you think he'll go out with me?" She asked.

"I don't know, un…he seems to be around the Kakuzu guy a lot, did you ever stop to think they might be a couple, un?" Deidara said raising an eyebrow.

"Ya right. Why do you have to think that he is gay and crush my hopes when I was just giving you such great advice about how to get with Sasori?" Konan questioned rolling her eyes at Deidara.

"Sorry, un. I just thought it would be a good thing to tell you, you can go crush your own hopes, un." Deidara said frowning at Konan's reaction.

"You're a jerk Deidara, I'm going to try and get him and I'll prove you wrong! Just you watch there is no way that Pein is gay! NO way!" Konan said, it was probably a bit to loud, at least the last part had been.

Deidara saw Hidan turn and look at them with and evil smirk on his face. It made Deidara swallow hard, what could the albino man possibly be thinking now…whatever it was, it couldn't be good…he probably guessed that they had been talking about Deidara's feelings for Sasori…and he wasn't sure he wanted to go face Hidan at the moment.

"C'mon! Let's go back now; you can go ask Sasori now!" Konan said happily.

Deidara blushed, "I'm not asking him NOW, un. I'll ask him after the bell rings."

Konan rolled her eyes, "Fine! But if you don't I swear to god!"

"Don't fucking swear to god!" The voice made Konan jump, and even though Deidara had seen him approach he jumped as well.

Konan twirled on her heel breathing heavily as she slapped Hidan on the arm, "Don't scare a girl like that!"

"Well sorry…" Hidan replied laughing "Didn't think you'd react like a little girl…though I'm not sure why it surprised me seeing…oh, that's what you fucking are." He burst out laughing, and Konan got a really pissed look on her face, "And doesn't surprise me that girly over there jumped as well. Didn't you just WATCH me fucking walk over here! That's pathetic, blondie." Hidan laughed harder as Deidara first changed to match Konan

Deidara opened his mouth about to make a comeback as the bell rang and Konan's eyes opened wide as she gasped and she pushed Deidara in the direction of Akatsuki, everyone had already started to leave.

Deidara rolled his eyes and ran over to Sasori.

"You trying to fucking help him get with Red?" Hidan questioned Konan raising an eyebrow.

"YES! I want my friend to be happy and right now he wants to be with Sasori so that's what I'm going to help him with." Konan said sticking her nose in the air.

"Thanks for the info, I FINALLY fucking figured out how Blondie feels about Red." He burst out into another fit of insane laughter as he walked away, leaving Konan with a gaping mouth as she realized what she had just said.

Deidara put a hand on Sasori's shoulder, and the short red head turned and looked at him.

Act casual Deidara…don't even bring up what happened in art… Deidara thought to himself.

"What do you want, brat...?" Sasori asked in a very annoyed tone.

"I was wondering if you could help me with my math homework, un." Deidara said a bit too quickly.

Sasori turned to face him completely he smirked for a moment before letting face back to the emotionless state it had been in before.

"Maybe…where would we study…?" Sasori asked.

"Uh…my house?" Deidara said scratching the back of his head, he hoped he wasn't blushing.

"Fine…are we going to walk?" Sasori said turning and staring to walk towards the school's exit.

"Uh…ya I guess…" Deidara said wide eyed, it took a while for him to get it through his head and finally follow Sasori, DID HE SAY FINE!? Not even any questioning…this is going to easily…he thought.

They stepped out of the school into the bright sun, "Ok…you lead the way."

"O-ok…" he started walking…but he wasn't really 'leading' seeing as Sasori was walking right beside him…he just couldn't believe that Konan's plan was working…so far…
