-The next day at school: Homeroom-

"Woah, are you serious?"

Sasori simply nodded his head. Pein gapped at his redheaded friend, "Dude, that's fucked up."

Sasori sighed, "Yeah, tell me about it." He glanced over to his blond boyfriend talking with Kisame. "I had a plan to nail Hideki, but it kind of got screwed up when Deidara lost his temper. We didn't expect Hideki to play dirt by comparing him to his father."

The pierced teen nodded. "Yeah that was a low blow." He looked over to his tan friend to see a scowl on his face. He arched a brow, "Hey, Kakuzu, what's up? You look more pissed than usual."

The stitched teen scoffed, "Nothing." He glanced to the faces of his curious friends and sighed, "The stupid loud mouthed Jashinist was supposed to come over to my house to work on an English assignment yesterday afternoon, but he never showed up."

This caught Deidara's ear, he whipped his head around to face the brunette teen behind him, "Hidan didn't show up to your house yesterday, un?"

Kakuzu sighed before shaking his head, "I called him but his phone was off."

Deidara arched a golden brow, "Off, un? Hidan's phone is never off. And he never blows people off. Something's wrong, un. Has anyone seen him today?"

The blond looked around his group of friends shaking their heads. He got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, then he remembered Itachi's note. 'I've got some…loose ends to tie up. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that if I don't hear from you in the next 5 days, I will be forced to take drastic measures. Meet me at the Konoha National Park cabin within the 5 day time period or you will NOT like what is to happen next.'

Deidara's eyes widened. His head snapped to Itachi's desk. Empty. He abruptly stood up causing curious eyes to fall on him. "I'm going to check on Hidan, un."

"I'm going too."

"So am I."

The blond nodded to his boyfriend and stitched up friend before exiting the classroom with the teens closely behind him.

Iruka shot a concerned look to Pein and Kisame, they shrugged before sharing a look and getting up as well.

"Eh, sorry Sensei, but we're gonna have to go too." Kisame gave his teacher a toothy grin before following the trio out.

"Yeah, it's pretty boring without them here. I'm out too, see ya." Pein waved his goodbye before casually exiting the class with his friends.

Iruka gapped at the empty doorway. "Th-they left? Just like that? They can't do that!"

"Well it's not like you can stop them now."

"Yeah, they're probably already halfway home by now. I'd just let it go if I were you, Teach.

"It would be such a drag to go after them now."

Iruka shot his students a look before sighing heavily and sitting back down. "Yeah, I suppose you all are right." He looked down before muttering, "I better not lose my job for this."

"Slow down, Dei!"

"Damn your boyfriend's fast!"

Deidara was running at full speed to Hidan's house. He worked out every day after school, so running long distances didn't bother him. His friends on the other hand were lagging behind the speedy blond.

When they finally reached Hidan's house, Deidara immediately took out the spare key from around his neck and practically burst through the front door.

His friends finally catching up to the blond all took a small break to catch their breathes before helping Deidara to search the house for their missing Jashinist.

"He isn't here!"

"Not in here, either!"

"Empty!"

"I don't see him in here either!"

"We have to fucking look harder then, un! He has to be here somewhere!"

They searched the bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room, backyard, all around the house, everywhere. Hidan was nowhere to be found.

The blond was getting frustrated by this point. He was desperately searching Hidan's bedroom again for any clues as to where his best friend could be.

He was about to give up on the room until a small, neatly folded piece of paper sitting under the lamp on Hidan's bedside caught his eye. He scrambled to the note and quickly unfolded it and scowled as he read the note.

Hello my dearest Dei-chan,

Looks like you've noticed Hida-kun's absence. Nothing gets past your observant eyes do they? That's one of the many things I love about you, Dei-chan. Now that you know I have your best friend, what will you do? Will you come with me and save your precious zealot? Or will you abandon him for your dear Akasuna? It's your choice, Dei-chan. You now have only 4 days to decide. I'll be waiting.

Love always,

Itachi Uchiha.

Deidara clenched his fists and began to tremble in rage before bellowing, "GODDAMN YOU ITACHI, UN!"

Deidara is PISSED! xD

Oh Itachi, you're so cruel to poor little Dei. What will our little blond bomber choose? His best friend or his boyfriend? O.O Or will he somehow have both? Guess you'll just have to read to find out! :D

Hope you all enjoyed this short chapter and don't forget to review! I love reading and responding to all of your reviews! :D

Have a beautiful day~
