Silence was all that filled the room. Nothing uttered a single syllable, not even the wind.

His eyes were scratched and burned so awfully he could have sworn the devil had taken a dump on them. Every single muscle in his body ached with pain or stiffness and he was lucky to be alive for that matter. Having lost nearly three pints of blood he was in serious trouble. If it weren't for the black haired man sitting next to him, he would be merely a memory by now.

"Deidara," Itachi spoke calmly "When will you learn your lesson? Every time you do something stupid there is a consequence."

"Shut the hell up Itachi, I did not ask for your opinion un! Owww!" The blonde spoke, his chest aching with each breath he took.

"You're lucky I was hunting you down anyways. Tch, I should have just left you to die." Itachi looked down upon him from his chair. "You know full and well that Hidan loves her, yet you try to fuck her. You were practically asking to be murdered."

"If he loves her so much then why was she in my bed with me yeah?" Deidara looked at Itachi through the corners of his eyes, glaring at him and his now – it – all - ness.

"Don't fuck what's not yours Deidara. You should have learned that lesson now."

"Hah, go suck a mushroom! Hn!" The blond said quietly, this mood growing more tired. Itachi pulled out an orange from his cloak pocket and began to pill and eat it. "You should be grateful that Kakuzu was around to stitch you up and hook you up to that I.V. bag." Taking a bite from his orange he paused and waited for a bitter response that would never come.

Ripping the peeling off and flicking it to the floor he spoke in this typical deep, uninterested, half caring voice. "I once asked Hidan what he planned to do with the young girl, and if I remember correctly, he told me to go to hell. Or, something along the lines of that." Itachi took another bite. "You knew what would happen if Hidan found out you were sleeping with his girl…and you still went through with it, so get that pathetic look off you face. You don't deserve to wear it."

Deidara looked at him with his blue glaring eyes and wished death to the Uchiha who was the source of some of his current grief. Although, deep down he knew that he was not thinking with his brain but more with his cock and balls. He wanted to get laid and hell Hinata was pretty cute - scratch that, downright sexy. Rolling his head to face the ceiling he had to silently agree with the Uchiha, though it killed him a bit on the inside. Alas he had to admit, at least in the confides of his own mind, that it was best to take a beating and live to fuck another day than to be killed by a half naked psychotic religious man. Besides Hinata was none – the – less still a friend to him, no matter how hot he thought she was.

Sighing, the blonde's head rolled back to Itachi and extended his fingers. "Give me a piece of that." Itachi looked dead into Deidara's eyes. Then he stood up, dragged the chair he had been sitting in three feet away from the bed, making it a grand total of four feet away. Placing the remaining three-fourths of the orange down on the seat he uttered "Get up and earn it." Itachi smirked as Deidara's jaw dropped then grew into a snarl. "You bastard…." Whispered Deidara as he reached for the remainder of the orange.

Itachi took his leave, as he closed the door behind him he couldn't help but wonder what type of punishment Hidan was inciting upon Hinata. Judging by Deidara's wounds, it would not be a light one.
