Okay, I'm updating early so no one gets mad and flips me off or something! Sasori and Deidara's relationship is somewhat starting…it'll get deeper in the tenth or eleventh chapter or something. Other characters, like Hidan and Kakuzu, are already together. You'll see them later as well. Anyway, I don't own Naruto and here's the next chapter.
Sasori had to think this whole thing over. The redhead has never thought anything of anyone before. Not one person until Deidara. At first, Sasori thought he was nothing and he still does. However, now he doesn't? Not as much as he used to, anyway. It's like he had a total change of heart within two days. What's so out of the ordinary…is that Sasori couldn't explain it. He knew what was going on, yet he couldn't analyze it. He couldn't find a reason for why this was happening. But he did know Deidara had something to do with it.
Just forget about it, thought Sasori, I'm thinking way too hard about this. It's because I didn't get enough goddamn sleep. Yeah, I'm so tired, I'm on edge. Having decided that, Sasori automatically voted to getting something to eat, cookies and milk perhaps, and going back to bed. Hopefully, he won't run into his grandmother. Knowing her, she'll make Sasori do something he doesn't want to. The brown eyed boy remembered the last time she asked him to do something…Sasori shivered at the thought and ran all the way home, hoping to get lucky and not run into her.
--With Dei Dei-kun--
Deidara decided to not go home just yet. He wasn't really tired, seeing as how it was already noon and he didn't feel like going home to do nothing for five or six hours. The blonde thought that he should familiarize himself with Konoha, so that he won't get lost. Getting lost in a city like this seemed very possible. Konoha was bigger than Iwa, and Deidara knew it. He should learn his way around, because by the way his mother and father had put, he's going to be here a LONG time. And…eh, he had nothing better to do.
After a few minutes of aimless wondering, Deidara stopped in the middle of nowhere. Great, I'm lost, inwardly groaned the teen. The blonde thought of asking for directions but decided against it after a moment. He didn't want to make himself look dumb by asking for directions. I mean, he was already new but looking dumb and new would've made things worse.
By looking straight ahead, Deidara didn't see anyone coming from behind. He did know when someone ran into, though. How? Falling face first to the ground with someone on top of you might give you a little heads up. Luckily, Deidara didn't get hurt. Today the blonde was really lucky. I'd call not dying from exhaustion of running about a mile to school, not getting fussed out by a redhead midget and not facing serious injures after a fall lucky, wouldn't you?
"Hey mother fucker! Watch where the fucking hell you're-Wait…you're the blonde kid that got in that fight with Sasori, aren't you? Deidara right?" Deidara looked up to see a teen with lavender eyes and white slicked back hair staring down at him. Deidara didn't know whether to answer or punch the guy. Yet, he didn't want to get in another fight this week, so his only option was answer. "Uh…yeah. And you are?" the blonde replied. The teen blinked. "The name's Hidan." Deidara smiled in the nicest way he could. "Well then Hidan, do you mind getting the hell off me?" Hidan looked at Deidara, looked down, and then quickly got up. The white haired boy looked around, as if trying to find something or someone.
"Um, are you looking for someone?" asked the blonde. Hidan didn't answer, simply kept looking. The blue eyed teen stood there watching Hidan look around. He thought about helping but realized: why look for something if you don't know what you're looking for?
"Kakuzu!! Where the fucking hell is you punk ass?!"
"I'm right here, you idiot." said a tall teen with black hair. The guy just seemed to come out of nowhere. At least Deidara thought he did. Hidan pouted in fake-hurt and rapped his arms around the other boy's waist. "Good, I thought I lost you." purred the lavender eyed teen as his left a trail of kisses on his boyfriend's neck. Deidara couldn't believe his eyes. There he was, watching two guys kiss and feel on each other. The blonde found it odd at first, but got over it. Deidara wasn't homophobic nor was he homosexual, so he wasn't for or against it. 'You gotta do what you gotta do,' he always thought. It just caught him off guard to see two guys kissing. If you did that in Iwa you're ass was sure to get kicked. Homophobes, almost everyone in Iwa seemed to be one.
Kakuzu seemed to notice the blonde looking at them and whispered something to his lover. Hidan glared at Deidara. "What the fuck are you staring at, blondie?!" he ordered. Deidara looked at Hidan, then Kakuzu, then back to Hidan. "Nothing! But…you two are gay?" he asked quietly so no one else could hear. The white haired teen's glare hardened. "Yeah, so? Got a problem with that?!" Deidara shook his head. "No way. You gotta do what you gotta do. I was just trying to get my facts straight." Okay…maybe 'straight' wasn't the best word. Oh well, like they would care! They probably didn't even notice.
Hidan's glared faded away into a calm look. "Good. Didn't want to fuck you up because of it!" laughed the teen. Deidara didn't find it funny but laughed anyway because he didn't want to seriously get beat the shit out of.
"You're alright, Deidara. Wanna hang with us? We're going to hang with a few others but one more shouldn't be a problem." asked Kakuzu. Deidara found something to do! Like he was going to miss a chance to stay away from his house! Deidara smiled and nodded. "Good! Now, let's get our asses moving so Itachi or Zetsu doesn't bitch about us being late!" cheered Hidan as he walked ahead. Kakuzu sighed. He's an idiot, thought the black haired teen with a smirk, but he's my idiot.
--Jump in time--
"You're late."
"We know! Goddamn Itachi, always have to be so fucking precise with time!"
"Shut up, Jashin worshipper. Who's this?" Itachi raised a thin eyebrow and looked over at the blonde, who was staring back at him. The only thing that ran through Deidara's mind was that he looked exactly like that kid with the chicken ass hairstyle. What's his name…Sasuke, that's it! Yup, they look exactly alike, could be relatives. The same black hair, same pale skin, same stoic expression. The only difference was that Itachi was taller and had blood red eyes that filled you with fear when you first stare into them. Oh, and he had girl eyelashes. But they were pretty girl eye leashes! …Just saying, is all.
"Oh, the blonde kid?" Hidan asked dumbly, pointing in Deidara's direction. Itachi nodded. "He's Deidara. Ran into him on the way to the mall." Hidan answered. "Literally." added Kakuzu. Itachi nodded again. There was an awkward silence, which was fortunately broken. Unfortunately, it was broken by Tobi. "Hey, hey, you're Deidara-san, ne?" asked Tobi excitedly. Deidara cringed at how loud the guy was being but nodded none the less. The teen was wearing bright clothes with an orange mask. The mask raised so many questions in Deidara.
"Uh, why does he wear a mask?" asked Deidara to particularly no one. Zetsu answered first. "He won't take it off. He says he feels comfortable in it." Deidara made an 'ah' sound as he got it. "Tobi also says he's a good boy, but he's not, now is he?" muttered Hidan to himself. Itachi threw a glare at Hidan. Since he was in charge of his cousin, Itachi had to make sure he came back in one piece. That includes emotionally as well, much to his dismay.
"Okay blondie!" stated Hidan. "My name's Deidara, not blondie." interrupted the blonde. Hidan continued anyway. "Fine blondie…Anyway, the guy with blue hair is Kisame, the one with black and white hair is Zetsu, the one in the mask is Tobi, the black haired prick is Itachi, and you already know me and Kakuzu." explained Hidan, receiving nods from everyone mentioned, a glare from Itachi. Deidara nodded in recognition to them all.
"Can we please do what we came here to do?" asked the red eyed teen, sounding irritated. Everyone nodded. "Good. I'll see you later then. Hopefully not." replied Itachi, whispering the last part. He then grabbed Kisame and dragged him away. Deidara was confused. Why did he just ask if they were ready, only to split from everyone else?
"Damn Itachi. Always doing that. Why does he even decide to meet us if he goes off with his fucking boyfriend?!" complained Hidan. Deidara just got his answer. "Forget about it. That's just how Itachi is. Besides, we can be alone now." explained Kakuzu, giving Hidan a kiss on the lips. Deidara and Zetsu remained quiet while Tobi made a squealing sound. In a flash, Hidan and Kakuzu were gone and Zetsu's phone beeped. "We're off on our own. Don't wait up, bitches!" Zetsu read the text aloud. The white and black haired teen then turned on his heel.
"Wait! Where are you going?!" asked Deidara, walking to catch up with him. Zetsu turned back to them with somewhat of an evil look. "I'm going to the plant shop. Got a problem with that?!" he spat. Deidara slowly slipped away from Zetsu while shaking his head. Zetsu nodded and walked away.
"Scary dude…" muttered Deidara, sweat dropping. He looked over at the only one left, who was staring back at Deidara. "So…" started the blonde. Before he knew it, Deidara was being dragged to the closest pet shop. "Come on, Deidara-san! I want to look at the new arrivals! They were supposed to get rabbits!" exclaimed Tobi. Deidara groaned. I wonder if I can chew my arm off and not bleed too much…Deidara pondered while being dragged away.
--With Sasori--
So much for trying to avoid granny Chiyo, thought Sasori sadly. The redhead had to go grocery shopping, get granny Chiyo's laundry, and worse of all…give her a foot massage. That scarred Sasori for life. "I never hope to see another wrinkled foot again…" grimaced the teen, falling onto his bed. All he wanted to do now was sleep. He wanted to rest his eyes and forget all his troubles.
"Sasori!! Granny needs your help." Sasori's eyes shot open at the sound of his grandmother's voice. He had to get out or hide and quick! But where?! There was nowhere to hide.
Sasori could hear the light pound of the Chiyo's walking cane. Gotta hurry and get out! Wait…I don't need to hide. Sasori smiled and hurried to the other side of his room. The redhead made it just as granny Chiyo made it to his door.
"Aw, the poor thing. Sasori must have been plum tuckered out after helping me out all day. I'll let him rest." Chiyo said quietly so not to wake her grandson. She closed the door and walked down the hall, then the stairs.
"Oh yeah…" mused Sasori. His plan worked just as he hoped. 'Operation: pretend to be asleep, so that you get out of work' was a success. Now Sasori can do whatever he wanted. Now, he can go wherever he wanted, do whatever he wanted! And not touch a single foot!
"Ah, this is the life…" muttered Sasori, smiling to himself. "Nothing to do, no where to go, and no feet to massage!" Sasori then laughed aloud, not realizing what he's just done.
"Sasori? You're awake? If so, will you run an errand for me?"
"Aw, crap! Great, just fucking great!" quickly, Sasori opened the window and leaped from it. Sure, it was from the second story…but there just happened to be a tree right by his window. Sasori jumped onto a branch, took his time getting down the tree, and then ran to the mall, his only sanctuary for the time being. Granny Chiyo would never think to look at the mall! Or at least didn't try to go to the mall to check.
"Sasori?" asked granny Chiyo as she opened the door to Sasori's room, only to find it empty. The old woman shrugged. "Oh well," she said, "I've asked enough of him today. He probably wanted to get away from me, anyway." Chiyo left her redheaded grandson's room, laughing to herself.
--With Deidara--
Deidara had just spent the last hour or so watching Tobi pet the bunnies and feed the puppies. The masked teen even asked Deidara if he wanted to pet one of them. The blonde has never been so bored in his life. That or so pissed off, either way, he wasn't happy.
"Deidara-san, are you having fun?" questioned Tobi happily. Deidara turned to Tobi slowly, blue eyes into slits. "Yes Tobi, I'm having lots of fun." He said in fake joy. It was a lie, but a lie worth telling. Tobi giggled, "That's good! I knew you would!" Deidara was beyond bored. Hell, he was far past pissed. The blonde had to get away. Anymore of this and Deidara would've blown himself up! Actually, that wasn't a bad idea right about now…no, killing himself wouldn't solve anything. Killing Tobi would solve lots of things, but then Deidara would have to deal with Itachi and that he didn't want. So either way, the odds weren't in his favor.
"Hey Tobi, I'm going to get something to drink." lied the blonde. Tobi nodded and watched Deidara walk off. Well, it was more like a sprint or run, but that didn't really matter so long as Deidara was away from Tobi.
Once Deidara was a good ways away from Tobi, he let out a happy sigh. Finally, I'm away from the guy! I don't know how the others stand him for so long. If this were Iwa, Tobi would be gone by now, thought Deidara. And it was the truth. If you pissed someone off, you were dead, if you failed to obey rules, you were dead, and if you were too cheery for your own good-coughTobicough- , you're as good as dead.
Deidara was so happy to be rid of Tobi, he started humming. A happy little tune it was. Those who heard it said it sounded like 'twinkle twinkle little star' but that hasn't been completely confirmed. You can never trust unreliable sources…
Anyway, Deidara was so caught up in humming and being away from Tobi that he didn't pay attention to where he was going…again. The blonde just didn't pay attention to his surroundings, did he? Not paying attention only proved correct because Deidara found himself on the ground in an instant. The blonde cursed silently, rubbed his head, and then looked up. He saw a red head lying on his chest. Said head looked up and both teens scowled at one another.
"Ah hell no, not you again."
They meet again. It's just their fate to see each other everywhere, isn't it? Let's see, I updated last on May 25th, started writing this on the 26th or 27th, and I updated just now on May 30. I say pretty well, don't you? Anyway, please review. I think I did okay with this chapter. Let me know if you thought this was alright or if it needed some work. Just no flaming. I can't stand flames. I got two on the same day and got so pissed off, I thought about giving up writing. Please review…for my sake.
