"So do you? Like my outfit I mean."
Clothes?! Did she like the clothes Deidara dressed on her body?
If there was any a time that Sakura wanted to castrate the blond, now would be it (not counting the last 20 times they had seen each other).
She ignored the feeling of relief on seeing him – or rather, her Team 7 – again.
What made it even worse was Sasuke crawling away from herself looking very harassed and even more horrified.
Just what the hell was he doing in her body?!
She glared back at Deidara's grinning face as he stood up and ignored the small feeling of betrayal. She and Deidara weren't friends, even if Sakura had worked (kind of) hard to keep his image; Deidara wasn't obligated to do so either apparently.
Sasori landed gently somewhere near her and she turned to meet his gaze, only to see Kisame with a swelling black check, and smiled at his glowered expression. She could already feel her short boiling temper receding…
Until she looked back.
'Deidara cut my hair?!'
Kick his ass
Kick his ass.
KICK HIS ASS!
Only a blur of black and yellow was seen and "Sakura" (really Deidara) was gone.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Eeek, helppp!" Deidara's continuing screeching in her manly ears (with her voice, Inner added) did nothing to help her aggravation of the situation.
How weird would it look to see a man slap a woman?
"Son of a-" Sakura vented her anger in words and continued carrying Deidara along.
"Mother-" Deidara stopped half way through a fake girlish squeal to snicker at the poor girl.
Sakura stopped, and Deidara only had time to gulp nervously at her flashing eyes before she slammed his small frame against a tree.
"Owwwww.."
"Shut up. Why'd you cut my hair." Sakura had smoothed out his voice to a calm tone, but Deidara never knew he was so scary.
Grinning wryly Deidara leaned in, brushing his soft, small nose against hers, "You look good in it yeah."
She blushed and turned away. True to his word, Deidara had only cut enough to do his trademark style of hair; and it looked okay… She just wanted something to get angry over. That reminded her of Sasuke.
She didn't want to know.. "What were you doing to Sasuke?" Her arms folded over one another, her face still turned from him. She really didn't want to know.
Deidara laughed and ran his fingers down her back, "Was only a joke Pinky, don't get jealous yeah."
"..Oh."
"You shoulda seen your face!!" He continued goading.
"..Deidara."
"Yeah? Pinky?"
"You used my body.. for a joke." Her voice was so calm that it started to actually scare him.
"W-wait! Ah," Panic rose on his face and actions as he flapped his arms around. How was it that girls could always turn the simplest things back on you?
She let out a cry of rage and – to Deidara's horror – uplifted a tree, roots included, and basically chucked it at him.
"What the hell, yeah?!" Deidara jumped up to evade the… flying tree, and looked back at the crater that it had made.
He turned back towards Sakura, ready to tear her head off but feeling the every bit of terror that she always made her enemies feel. She could have killed him!! Over a joke.
He almost promised to stop flirting with her little buddies.
Almost.
Sakura's sparkling eyes came into his view and the thoughts of rage fled his mind and he blanched as he thought of something to say. "S-Stop crying in my body, yeah.. You make me look like a.. Uh.."
'Oh what do I do, craap crapcrapcrap'
He slowly stepped over to her and awkwardly patted her head… Good. Now what to say?
"Uhm, it's okay, you'll get over it yeah."
He almost pissed his pants at the look Sakura gave him.
"What the hell?" Both swirled their heads around to see the owner of the new voice.
"Sasori-kun!" Deidara didn't know whether to be happy or mortified at the awkward position he found himself and Sakura in.
"Deidara's" face covered in tears and "Sakura's" arm half way around his waist.
"Daidara, you cry?" The puppet raised an eyebrow.
xXxXxXxXxXx
It was constant sounds of battle cries and kunai's whizzing past… All of it coming from Sasuke trying to kill his brother. His flesh and blood.
Sure, he felt guilty about that fact, but that was when he was lying awake after planning to slaughter him.
He continued on with the kick that would of smashed his skull in if Itachi wasn't a clone. Feeling a tad more frustrated, he quickly bolted to the next Itachi to his side while throwing a kunai at another.
All the while as the real Itachi watched from a tree as he amused his brother with clones after clones…
"You going to finish it yet?" Kisame said, not bothering to hide the snicker and looked over to his own clones dealing with the other two members of Team something.
"Are you kidding? And go out there and actually fight him? Are you half asleep?." Obviously, it was common knowledge with the partners, of Sasuke's constant attacks.
"Afraid he'll hurt you?"
"Please, he loves me too much too kill me." Itachi raised an eyebrow as a sickening crack was heard and turned back to his younger brother.
"DIE ITACHI!!"
"What were you saying?" Itachi rolled his eyes. Honestly if Kisame didn't shut it with all his "guffawing" he'd give away their spot. He acted like that loud mouth idiot Deidara.. Who wasn't acting very loud lately.. Or moronic…
Hey where was Deidara? Or Sasori?
They better not be… Ew.
xXxXxXxXxXx
Sakura glared to her side at Deidara as he finished off explaining to "Sasori-kun, yeah!"
Of course that idiot couldn't handle seeing his best friend again and just had to glomp him, which resulted in a blushing Sasori attempting to kill her body and Sakura had calmed him down enough so the idiot could tell him what was going on.
"So that's what was going on…" Sasori sported an amused look on his porcelain face. "And I thought with all the staring at Itachi, you were just going gay…" It was odd that he had to talk to a pink haired girl and be actually talking to his partner and best friend, it made him slightly uncomfortable and he was still getting used to the change…
He just wondered how long it took them to adjust. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Sasori actually only felt bad for the Sakura-girl because he knew Deidara could be a total… dolt.
Deidara turned his violated face over to Sakura, "You made me gay?!"
She in turn shrugged smugly from getting him to do something other than grin, "And you were flirting with Sasuke. We're even, yeah." She retorted sarcastically.
"But you made me gay!"
"You wore purple nail polish." She said calmly examining her – or rather, Deidara's now pink nails. "What a depressing, girly color."
Deidara looked like he just died, "You-you-p-pink?!"
Sasori sighed and cut in between them, if he knew anything about Itachi then he would be fighting Sasuke with clones while up in a tree, but if they didn't go back soon then he would look for them… "Would you two shut it? What are your plans. We half to go back soon before the rest notice."
"Deidara" looked up at him with wistful blue eyes. "Tsunade-shishou placed me on the mission of course, so she should know something about the relic. Deidara talk to her, and don't get her pissed."
Deidara faintly shivered, "Too late Sakura-chan, yeah."
Sakura looked towards him with a soft blush, surprised at the sudden suffix to her name, but before she could say anything Sasori cut in, "And you two should probably meet up somewhere so you could learn to act like each other." This time he did roll his eyes.
"O-okay." Sakura looked back at Deidara, "Where do you think we should meet then?"
The sudden look that crossed his face made her raise an eyebrow.
"There's this quiet little café…" He began.
xXxXxXxXxXx
Deidara almost burst out laughing (very unwomanly like) as he glanced at the still disgruntled Sasuke beside him as he and the rest of Sakura's team treaded down the gravel road.
The little "fight" had passed a couple hours ago when Sakura left after wanting a small glance at the team she missed so much – although Deidara didn't understand why – and a promise to meet him at a small forest that was close to the "quiet café" he was taking her to.
Deidara had begged Sasori to come but he kept pretending he didn't hear him, which pissed him off, which in turn aggravated Sakura and before they could start another of their infamous fights Sasori had shoved him back to Team 6.. or 8.. or whatever. Then he proceeded to grab onto Sakura's hand and practically fly back to a suspicious Itachi.
Itachi… He had been slightly sickened to hear she had been staring at his rival for.. well, everything. 'Stupid Uchiha,' he scowled.
…Deidara only noticed how quiet Sakura's team seemed after a fight with the Akatsuki, namely caused from the tension vibrating from Mini-Itachi. His own team was never like that, after a fight they'd go on like nothing happened.
"So.. What do you guys do for fun?" Deidara asked trying not to barf. Pfft. Bonding.
"Think of ways to kill my brother."
"…Eat ramen." Naruto flashed him a brilliant smile, "But you know that Sakura-chan!"
"…And drink sake." Kakashi put in.
"Sorry I asked," he mumbled. This was going to be a long, long walk.
Sakura never seemed this boring to him…
Speaking of Sakura…
The café, in truth, was the complete opposite of what he had told her, a crowded, boisterous club complete with strippers and purple nail polish loving sadists. It was the very pub that most the Akatsuki members relaxed in… With a girl or five of course.
He just couldn't wait to see her pretty, angry face.
Really, he couldn't wait to piss her off.
xXxXxXxXxXx
"Stop staring at him!" A harsh whisper directed towards Sakura snapped her out of her blushing state and she shyly turned back to Sasori.
"Ahehe, just 'cause I was looking in his direction doesn't mean I was staring at him!" she whispered back and Sasori could only shake his head.
"Deidara told you not to."
"And what he doesn't know couldn't hurt him," she stuck her tongue out and almost giggled very unmanly-like. She really had to stop doing that.
Sasori had been dubbed (by her of course) a 'man sensei,' but she appreciated what he did. Sasori hadn't of killed her because Deidara was his best friend, and even though she didn't know what benefits it would do for them – others would probably kill her without a second thought.
Itachi already seemed to dislike Deidara – and she had reflected on the thought of him killing her just because of it.
"You're staring again." Sasori but into her thoughts again. She couldn't help it if Itachi was as adorable as he was!
But as cute and… amusing as he was, she knew she would never like him in that sense. The past experience with his younger brother had left her slightly scarred and men in particular were the last things that Sakura would like to think of.
She turned her flustered face over to Sasori once again, "Sorry Sasori, I was just thinking."
Sasori only starred at her blankly for a small moment before nodding and returning his attention to the high speed tree hopping they were doing.
'Oo, stupid always intense men.' She rolled her eyes and also continued.
She could only hope Deidara wasn't this bored.
Scratch that. She hoped the annoying turd drowned.
xXxXxXxXxXx
Only an hour to go now…
Sakura's clock ticked on oblivious to Deidara's growing irritation and he set the clock on the comfortable bed he sat on.
Only an hour before he would go and meet up with Sakura. But time seemed to go really slow in Konoha.
Huffing out in frustration he looked back down at the clock (which hadn't changed the time yet) and ran a hand through his pink hair.
His memory led him back to the last conversation he had with the smart kunoichi, and he unwittingly remembered that he had to talk to "shishou".
'Ughhh, better do that before I meet up with her then.' He looked back down at the clock and shrugged, crossing his arms behind his head before lying on the fluffed bed.
Worrying about.. well, anything was not a Deidara thing. 'Pfft. Who cares.'
With a small content smile, he instead chose to take a small nap to pass the time.
xXxXxXxXxXx
Where the hell was he?
Sakura had already been waiting for an hour, and the familiar feeling of déjà vu set in. He was just like Kakashi!
'Stupid men, their all alike!!' She growled in anger, feeling her stupid eyebrow twitching again, and forced herself to take a deep breath before her heart started palpitating… Or something of the like that only Deidara could cause.
How dare he?! Didn't he know better than anyone how difficult it was to sneak out?!
Her eyes softened and she let out a small breath while leaning her back on the mangled tree (proof of her impatient ness) behind her.
She couldn't help being biased to men, but it had been practically engraved into her head after her bad experiences. She remembered how harsh she had been on him since… the moment they met, but Deidara never really seemed to mind or react ruthlessly.. He was always kind in his own way.
Sakura could feel the beginnings of guilt ebbing at her and made another promise to herself to be nicer to him.
"BOO!!"
Twitch. Never mind.
"You're late."
"Aww, Sakura-chan you didn't even react, yeah…"
"Why are you late." The undertone in her voice surprised him, he didn't know how scary he could get, he could even swear he saw a familiar tint of green ebbing into her blazing eyes.
"Umm, ahehe, you see… Your parents! Yeah, they needed me to do some cho-"
"My parents are dead, Deidara."
Oh.
She raised an eyebrow and bit down a smile. The expression on his face was adorable, just like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. The topic of her parents was still a little raw, but Sakura knew that they were always with her.
Staring up at him from her seated position, she crossed her arms and waited for the next lie he was sure to deliver. Just like Kakashi. Sakura really did miss him, once she got back she promised herself to buy him the next signed addition of Icha for her perverted sensei… Even though he probably had it.
Deidara blinked owlishly, 'Shit!' 'Ohh, well then, some people must of broke into your house when I was napping and pretended to be-"
"So then you were napping? Why didn't you just say so." She got up and dusted herself before turning back to Deidara's sheepish face. "So?"
He looked at her questioningly before catching on, "Oh, right… The café is just at the end of this path." He almost couldn't keep off the grin and grabbed Sakura's hand, happily tugging at the blushing girl.
