Me: (after making a clay sculpture) How does this look, Kabuto? I'm sure I got it right, now!

Kabuto: Hmm? (tilts head) It looks….. deformed on the right side. And the whole thing looks lumpy, too.

Me: (groans)

Kabuto: (anime sweat drop) Err, no offense!

Me: I can't make a clay sculpture to save my life…..

Deidara (YEAH, PEOPLE!! xD): (pops in randomly) It sounds like someone's having art trouble, un?

Shadow: DEIDARA?! ZOMFG!! (prepares to glomp)

Deidara: Whoa, whoa, easy un! I'm just here to help out…err…what's your name, un?

Me: Anna.

Deidara: Anna here on her sculpture. Alright…(looks at sculpture and makes a face) Wow…we got a lot of work to do, un.

Me: (is offended)

Kabuto: Enjoy the next chapter. Will Deidara be in it? Who knows! I'm not telling!

Shadow: (brings out knife) You WILL, if you know what's good for ya.

Kabuto: I'm not saying a word.

Shadow: Grrr……(raises knife)

Kauto:………… AHHHH- (screen goes blank)

DRABBLE EIGHT: What A Blast, Un

Kabuto and Anna swaggered up the porch steps, arms full with heavy grocery bags. Apparently Orochimaru had a surprise card party that evening, and with the refrigerator running dangerously low on food, he sent the two out to the marketplace in town. But of course Anna's car had been ambushed sometime last night (slashed tires….Shadow was having too much fun with her fake Kusanagi), so the emoish girl and the medical ninja had to travel two agonizing miles by foot and two even more agonizing miles back, but that time with grocery bags slowing them down.

" Geez, why do WE have to do Oro's dirty work?" Anna complained, being careful walking up the porch steps. The bags were overflowing with food, and they blocked Anna's vision. " Why can't the dude just go out and do things himself?"

" Because," Kabuto answered impatiently, pushing his black rimmed glasses back on his nose, but only for them to fall again, " he has us. Why go out when he can just order US to do his lousy jobs?"

Anna scowled. She was very pissed at Orochimaru right then. The thought of stealing the Kusanagi herself and giving it to Shadow crossed her mind. " Well, I wonder how Orochimaru would like it if HIS butt was pushed around constantly! Slashed tires….walking two miles…..this bites. It doesn't help when the weather is ninety degrees, either." Beads of sweat now formed on Anna's face and were dropping into her eyes. She lifted her hand to wipe the sweat off, but, forgetting about her arms full of groceries, the bag fell from her hand and crashed to the porch.

" God dammit!" Anna and Kabuto hollered at the same time. Kabuto carefully put down his grocery bags and went to examine the mess. " Crap, the pickle jar was in there. And the eggs are probably smashed to bits, now."

" Sorry," Anna grumbled in a dull monotone, carelessly sweeping the bag leaking of pickle juice and useless cracked eggs out of the way and into the shrubs. " Can we just get inside now? I'm in dire need of a fan…and to give Oro a piece of my mind."

" Yes." Kabuto replied. He took out his ring of a thousand keys and walked toward the front door. He was searching through longer than he usually did. " Uh-oh."

" What's wrong?"

After looking through all the keys carefully, Kabuto came to a conclusion that his house key wasn't present among the rest." Guess who stole the house key?" he asked sarcastically. " That blasted creature, she is…" He then checked under the house mat that read GET OFF MY PROPERTY BEFORE I SIC MY PET SNAKE AFTER YOU for the spare, but it was removed.

Anna was already pounding her fists on the front door like a maniac. " SHADOW, YOU BETTER LET US IN RIGHT NOW!!" she shouted, doing a good job sounding threatening. " THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!" Kabuto joined in on the door banging. " LET US IN!!"

Their attention was then drawn to the sounds of booms and crashes coming from inside their house. Shadow was definitely in the living room, and definitely aware of Kabuto and Anna's threats and banging, but she never came to the door. As if she wanted them pissed off. Which she DID.

The rants continued. " SHADOW, OPEN THIS DOOR!!"

" LET US IN!!"

" WE'RE TELLING OROCHIMARU!!"

" SHADOW!!"

" SHADOW?!"

A voice other than their own was then heard. " Shadow's not here, un."

Kabuto and Anna paused. The sudden voice caught them by surprise. But it didn't sound like Shadow's…..it then hit them. Though why was he in their house?

" Deidara?!"

" Here," Deidara kindly offered, " I'll let you in, hm." The sound of another bomb and glass breaking was then audible. Kabuto and Anna looked to the left of them, where a window was completely blown out, broken glass glistening in the argent sun. They groaned. Guess who was going to be cleaning that up?

They obviously guessed the window was their new entrance inside. Kabuto and Anna hopped down to the side of the porch and walked toward the window.

" Uh, thanks, but couldn't you have just opened the door? And…why are you HERE?" Kabuto politely asked.

" Breaking the window was more fun, un. Plus I got to use one of my bombs." Deidara answered, though he didn't respond to Kabuto's second question. That made Kabuto all the more curious.

Deidara helped Kabuto and Anna climb in through the smashed window. The smell of clay and bomb smoke met their noses. It wasn't a good combination of odors.

" Geez," Anna commented, " it smells like a mix of a pottery shop and gun powder in here." She looked around and noticed that mounds of white clay were EVERYWHERE. On the couch. On top of the coffee table. On the walls. Guess who was to clean THAT up as well?" Deidara, what are you-" Anna turned to face the artist, but stopped after she looked at him harder in the face.

It was actually Shadow, dressed as her favorite Akatsuki member.

" Shadow?….." the girl's weak voice trailed off in surprise. She then quickly composed herself and prepared to yell her hardest, but Kabuto beat her to it.

" Shadow, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING DRESSED AS THAT WHACK DEIDARA?!" he screeched in Shadow's expressionless face. " There is CLAY EVERYWHERE IN SIGHT! You're setting off bombs AGAIN-"

" I'm NOT Shadow, eh." Shadow argued. " And they're CLAY bombs, un", she corrected.

" WHATEVER!" Kabuto and Anna yelled. " What the hell are you thinking?!" they both cried as they chibi flailed, hoping to get a straight answer out of their pest.

Shadow shrugged. She then said in a whisper, " I'm THINKING about making some more clay bombs and setting them off on Tobi, hmph. He's such a dunce. Look at 'em just sittin' over on the couch like a lump, eh!" she mocked, pointing to the couch with her thumb. There was a life size Tobi puppet slumping on one of the couch pillows.

" Shadow…." Anna began, exasperated.

" DEIDARA, hmph."

" You're NOT Deidara!"

" Yes I AM, hmph!"

" I can see your red hair poking out of the wig!"

" ……….it's paint."

" NO IT'S NOT!" Kabuto quarreled. He was sick of this; he wanted it all to end. " Now take off the Akatsuki robe and clean up this room RIGHT NOW!"

There was a pause. Shadow stared at her opponents with a besotted expression on her face. Then she began to snicker. " You all….you all are so cute trying to act all tough, un."

" WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

" Ahaha, you all are funny. I gotta get back to my bombs, eh. Gonna plan on blowing up Itachi later on, eh." She then tapped the side of the blonde wig that hid her left eye. " I want ta beat Itachi with this eye; training it to know genjutsu, hmph. Gotta fly."

Out of the blue a giant clay bird flew through the broken window, its huge form making Kabuto and Anna duck to the floor as it flew gracefully over them. Shadow hopped on quickly and was preparing to fly off again." Remember this, eh! Art is….a blast."

And with that, Shadow and her big clay bird took off. She threw bombs disguised as spiders at one of the front walls, which violently exploded into millions of pieces. " BANG, EH!!" she exclaimed at her success as she and her bird flew off into the sky.

Kabuto and Anna ran outside on their porch to watch in wonder at Shadow and her giant clay bird fly away. Their jaws could've hit the ground.

" What…" Anna began to say, her voice once again weak with surprise, " what was all that about?" she croaked.

" No idea." Kabuto answered in a whisper, just as in a daze as she was. Then his voice grew strong. " All I know is that I'm NOT cleaning up that living room."

Just then they heard the sound of someone's shoes and loud shouts coming from the street. They turned around and ironically saw the REAL Deidara calling after his clay bird.

" Where are you, my pet? The Akatsuki meeting is in an hour and I need a ride, un!" Deidara cried. He then noticed Kabuto and Anna standing on the porch. He jogged up to them and asked, " Hey, un. Which was did my pet bird go, eh?"

The two pointed to the sky as if it was an obvious question.

Deidara let out a sigh of relief. " Thanks." He conjured up another clay bird the size of a small airplane with the unique palms of his hands and climbed aboard his new creation. " Fly, un!"

He then lifted up into the air and flew off with his clay bird after Shadow. " COME BACK WITH MY CLAY BIRD, EH!!" The Akatsuki member shook his fist as he flew off into the sunset.

Kabuto: THAT was a weird one, wasn't it Anna?

Me: Yeah. (sulking) And we forgot to bring the groceries inside, too.

Kabuto: What?!

Me: They rotted out on the porch!

Kabuto: Shit….

Orochimaru: (popping out of nowhere) Alright, where's my food? I have a big card party tonight, so chop chop.

Me and Kabuto: Grrrrr…….

Orochimaru: ………Umm……

Me and Kabuto: (closing in on Orochimaru) GRRRRRRRRR….(rabies foam at the mouth)

Orochimaru: Hey, take it easy.

Me and Kabuto: (lunge at Orochimaru)

Orochimaru: AHHH!!

Deidara: Hey, un. Review before I blow ya up, eh!
