Chapter 5

Festival Part2 Fireworks

"That was an amazing amazing amazing show!!!", I exclaimed, holding Deidara's hand, Tobi following right behind us. "It was just so good! I loved it when he figured out he could fuse his chakra in the water, and control it! It's amazing only few water jutsu users can control the water like he did! That is so cool! I'm starting to wish I could do that. If I could do that, I'd be one of the most happiest girls ever! I mean, come on, that's cool!"

"TOBI LIKED THE PART WITH THE BUBBLES!!!", Tobi jumped up and down.

"Haha, yeah. That part was nice too.", I nodded to Tobi.

"I'm glad you two liked the theater, yeah.", Deidara smiled. "It was as great as I remember it."

"... Yeah... so, now that we've killed an hour(it's 3:47)what shall we do now?", I pondered. "We've a whole bunch of sunlight in the sky, and I wanna have the greatest break from missions and running, and killing, and sadness. It has to be the greatest. I mean... I haven't done anything like this ever since I was taken from my foster home... Makes me feel homesick..." Of course, I felt home sick... from my foster home at least because of the fact that I really am from this ninja world, and not the normal person world.

"It'll be okay Kyra, yeah.", Deidara comforted me. "On a less gloomy note, lets go check out some other activities that we can do! I'm sure there's something we can do to make you have the greatest day ever, yeah!"

"OOOOH! OOOOH! LET TOBI PICK LET TOBI PICK!", Tobi raised his hand, hopping in front of Deidara and I.

Deidara slapped his forehead, and shrugged. "Okay... Okay... Tobi, pick another activity that we can do at this festival, hn.", Deidara grumbled. "Be my guest."

"Hmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!", Tobi scratched his head. "LET'S RIDE THE CAROUSEL!!!"

I talk to you every now and then

Deidara, Tobi, and I walked over to the carousel, and we took our seats.
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel

Deidara and I sat on one horse together, and Tobi sat on the one in front of us.

Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitudes a reason to die

"This is so weird!", I laughed to Deidara. "I feel like I'm 10 years old again!"

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

Deidara nuzzled my cheek as we were riding, and I blushed slightly, but still conscious of the fact that we still had our bet, so I hid my face.

I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile

"This is fun, right Kyra, hn?", Deidara whispered in my ear, his warm breath causing a chill down my spine.

"It's lovely", I whispered back.

A tank of gas is a treasure to me
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again

He wrapped his arms around me tighter, and rested his head on my back. "You'll be forever mine.", he said.

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I closed my eyes. I embraced this moment. I took in every second of this relaxing carefree moment. A moment that I probably would never get again. I mean, when you're traveling with 2 S-Rank criminals, how could you expect to even be able to rest?

I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

The ride ended, and we got off of the carousel. Deidara lifted me from my hips, and carried me down like a princess. Then, put me down shortly after, Tobi following us.

"WEEELL????", Tobi squeaked. "WAS IT FUN WAS IT FUN WAS IT FUN?????????????"

I grinned at him. "It was very fun Tobi-kun! Riding the carousel was a great idea. It got my mind off a lot of things."

"YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!", Tobi glomped me. Deidara grew furious, and kicked Tobi off of me. Tobi hit the side of a store, and stood up whining that Deidara was too violent. Deidara was arguing that Tobi was too obnoxious. Tobi started to run away crying, leaving Deidara and I to follow after him. I was laughing and smiling, just enjoying the time with them. I mean, not every day you can just have fun at a festival with 2 S-Rank criminals, right?!

We were all chasing each other around the village, then, I came to a stop, trying to catch my breath. It wasn't working out too well. They both stopped, and turned back to help me.

"Yikes! You guys run too fast...", I breathed.

"Well, that's how we are, yeah.", Deidara grinned.

"Keep up with us!!!", Tobi hopped up and down. "Lets do something else fuuun!!!!!!"

Deidara scooped me up in his arms. "Oh? Is there anything else we can do?", I asked him, giggling at the way Deidara looked at me.

"Heheh... I wish, hn.", he whispered.

I glared at him slightly. "No is no unless you win our bet."

Tobi cocked his head. "What is going on? Tobi is confused."

"Nothing.", I said quickly. "Anyway, Deidara, can we go and just walk around the festival, play games, and other stuff. I really think—" GRRRROOOOOWWWWL O.O

"Awww! Who's hungry, yeah?", Deidara said in a baby-ish voice.

"Shut up!", I laughed. "Lets go eat somewhere."

:xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx:

"—told me that!", Tobi exclaimed. "Then Tobi was like, WOOOW! TOBI NEVER KNEW THAT DEIDARA-SENPAI USED TO BE A GIRL! Later, Hidan-san broke down laughing. Tobi never understood. Should Tobi have understood?"

I closed my eyes smirking slightly. "No, you don't need to understand." I took a bite of my egg roll. "By the way Deidara, isn't it that tonight there'll be fireworks?"

"Yeah, around 10, hm. Why, you wanna see it, hm?", Deidara wondered.

"Well.... YES!", I squeaked. "I haven't seen fireworks in soooo looong! I haven't relaxed like this in so long!", I breathed slowly. "I haven't been able to just be myself in so long."

"Don't worry Kyra, hn.", Deidara rubbed my back. "Really, when this is all over, I'll just leave the Akatsuki, and we'll live our lives together, hm."

"... That's the issue Deidara.", I muttered under my breath.

"Hm?"

"Nothing. Anyway, any other stories you wanna share Tobi-kun?", I beamed.

"Yeah!", Tobi exclaimed. Then, he just went on and on and on about stories about Deidara and the other members of the Akatsuki. How they were mean to him, how they always called him an annoying lackey. It was funny, but I felt bad for him at the same time. Deidara laughed at all the good memories until he was partnered up with him. Then, we finished our food, and exited the restaurant laughing.

"Wait-wait! So, you did steal Kakuzu's money?", I giggled.

"Yeah!", Tobi jumped. "Then, then he was all like, TOBI, IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU, YOU HAD BETTER GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY! YOU'RE HEART IS MINE!!! IT SOUNDED LIKE A PROPOSAL!!! Okay, yeah, so Tobi was like, Tobi thinks it's sweet that you are so fond of him, but Tobi doesn't go that way, he's straight."

I slapped my knee, and my eyes started watering. I was laughing hysterically. Deidara sighed and shook his head at our obnoxiousness. I had no care for what he thought about Tobi because Tobi was fun and hyper. He could make anyone laugh. Well, anyone like me.

"Okay, okay, we all know it's very cute, hn.", Deidara interrupted. "Is there anything that you both wanna do now, hm?"

I glanced around the decorated village. It was still only around 4, and 6 hours until the fireworks. I rolled my eyes up and stared at the sky. Then, someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned to see Tobi's orange mask.

"Oh! Tobi!", I squeaked. "Did you find something that you wanted to do?"

"No, but Tobi thinks that we should just walk around the village?", Tobi said. "Walking around the village and talking about things will pass the time, and Kyra-chan won't be bored."

"Okay. Deidara?", I faced Deidara. "Is that fine with you?"

Deidara nodded. "Yeah, whatever, hm."

So, we walked around the village. Tobi jumped around, asking to buy this and that and all this stuff that Deidara literally almost blew him up. Luckily, I acted as the mother, and stopped them! Then, Tobi, holding his gold fish, looked at the small black thing in the bag.

"KYRA-CHAN!!!", he shouted.

"... What...?", I asked exhaustedly.

He shoved the bag with his fish in it in my face, then pointed at it. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH FISH???!!! HE STOPPED SWIMMING, AND IS JUST FLOATING!!!!!", Tobi exclaimed.

I pushed the bag away lightly, and took a hold of it, examining the fish carefully. Oh no... How am I gonna explain this to Tobi?

"Er... Tobi...", I said weakly.

"Yes? Tobi is ready for anything!", Tobi jumped up and down.

"Tobi, this is a bad thing...", I mumbled. Tobi cocked his head. "Fish died."

Tobi was quiet, then took the bag from me. "Okay. Too bad. Fish was a weak fish from hiding from all those people all the time. Poor Fish. Tobi will bury him now."

Deidara and I watched as Tobi dug up a hole, opened the bag, and dumped Fish in the hole with all the water. People were staring, and giving Tobi looks as if saying, "Are you stupid or what? That's just a fish. I don't understand kids these days..." I glanced around giving everyone warm smiles. Deidara had the most embarrassed face on ever. It was funny, but I could tell that Deidara was about ready to kill Tobi.

"S-say, Tobi!", I said. "Forget the prayer, and just bury him already."

Tobi looked up and nodded. Then, he kicked a pile of dirt over the fish.

"For Kami's sake...", Deidara mumbled.

"Tobi misses Fish!", Tobi cried.

"....", was Deidara and my response.

"Can Tobi get another fish???", Tobi wondered.

"...."

"TOBI KNOWS!!! Can Tobi win another fish?", Tobi asked.

"...."

"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE???", Tobi begged.

"...."

"TOBI WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF FISH!", Tobi pleaded.

"...."

"Ple—"

"GOD DAMMIT TOBI, NO!!!!!", Deidara roared.

"But—"

"NO!!!! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Deidara yelled loudly. "TOBI! JUST GO THE FU—FREAK(s—Haha! Deidara is still conscious of the bet!)AWAY!!!! GO AWAY!!! DAMMIT!!!"

Deidara practically blew up on Tobi himself. Tobi ran and hid behind me.

"Deidara, calm down...", I said, suddenly freaked.

".....", Deidara looked away.

"Deidara, Tobi's still a kid. I mean, just let him have his fun.", I told him.

"Yes.", Tobi said.

"And you!", I turned, pointing at Tobi. "You. Can. Not. Get. Another. Gold. Fish. Got that?"

Tobi nodded his head furiously, whimpering.

"I'm glad that we all understand each other finally?", I nodded my head. "Come, lets enjoy the rest of this festival."

So, the rest of the day was a haze. Everything went on normally. Deidara flicked Tobi a couple of times, which ended up with me smacking them both with my chakra concentrated in both my hands. This left red marks on their faces, so Deidara stopped on the 5th time of flicking Tobi. It was funny to see how Deidara was annoyed of Tobi. Tobi was annoying at times, but I loved him. The sister love. Felt like the little brother I never had, and always wanted. Deidara mentioned many things about this festival that even Tobi(who seemed very very well informed about this festival)didn't know. I was surprised. I often wondered how he knew all this. I mean, come on. Deidara never seemed like the one to enjoy or even go to festivals like this one. He seemed like someone who just ignored his company, and just went merrily on his way around, blowing up people. Then, finally, 10:00 came, and the fireworks had started. We left the village to the near by forest that was elevated higher than the village.

BANG! BANG BANG! BOOM! went the fireworks. They came in an array of colors. Blue, red, green, orange, yellow, pink! Any color you could think of I bet.

Tobi pointed up at the sky. "HEY! THERE'S THE VILLAGE SIGN OF MY VILLAGE!!!"

I glanced up where Tobi was pointing and saw the Konoha Leaf Village sign. "The Konoha Leaf Village?", I questioned.

"YEP!", Tobi clapped his hands.

My mind blew with questions now. Tobi was from the Konoha Leaf Village, but who was he. I never read past the part where Naruto, Shikamaru, and Choji saw Sai for the first time. Well, I know his name because my friend always yelled about him to me... She showed me pictures. I knew his name.

"Hey, look Kyra, yeah.", Deidara whispered softly into my ear as another batch of fireworks blew up.

The sky lit up and I saw the Iwagakure(Rock Village)sign. Deidara's village sign. "That's your village sign."

"Yep.", Deidara said soothingly.

"Hm... This is beautiful.", I smiled.

Deidara wrapped his arms around me, and we sat down against the tree behind us. This warmth felt incredible. "You like it, hm?"

"Yep. Tobi enjoys it too.", I sighed.

Deidara exhaled his warm breath on my neck. "Like I always say Kyra, hm..." I turned to look at Deidara. "Art is a bang..."
