Helloooo! How's everyone been today? Good? Hope so ^-^ Soooo, I've been playing Starfox Adventures for the GC all day! It's like my altime favuorite game for the GC and I haven't played it in years so I decided to replay it today and I'm hooked again x3 But now my brother took over the TV so I decided to update for all of you lovelies! :D

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy~

Deidara cracked open a drowsy azure eye. He glanced around the dark, damp room he was in. He blinked away the sleep and sat only to wince at his sore back from sleeping on the cold, cement floor.

"I see you're finally awake."

The blond snapped his head in the direction of the voice to see Hideki standing on the other side of the bars to the cage he was currently trapped in. He stood weakly and sauntered over to where Hideki was nonchalantly leaning on the bars of the cage.

"I thought Orochimaru might've killed you for a second there." He smirked sadistically, "Good thing he didn't. You would've missed all of the fun."

The blond growled, "Where. Is. Danna. Un?" If looks could kill, Hideki would be dead ten times over.

The raven haired man chuckled, "With Orochimaru. Don't worry, bitch. He's fine. For now anyways. I never really cared for your boy toy. His fate, however, is sealed with the snake's."

Deidara took a deep breath, his whole body shaking as he asked, "Hideki, un? Why? Why do you hate me so much? Ever since we've first met, un. Why? Why…" He trailed off, casting his gaze to the floor.

Hideki seemed taken aback with the sudden question but quickly recovered before the blond could see. He scoffed, "Because you're a bitch-"

"No! That's not a good enough reason Hideki, un! I wanna know why you hate me so much! All I ever wanted was for my mother to be happy, and seeing her with you…I know she loves you! And so does Ino, un! But…I-I tried to give you a chance. B-but…you were always so cruel with me, and I want to know why, un."

The older male's eyes widened at the sudden outburst. He stared at the trembling blond, whether he was shaking out of rage or sadness, Hideki couldn't be sure.

His gaze softened at the teen now sitting on the floor clutching the cold bars of the cage. He crouched down to be eye level with the blond before softly saying, "…I'm sorry."

Deidara's azure eyes widened, he snapped his head up to gaze into Hideki's unnaturally gentle onyx eyes. He opened and closed his mouth trying to find a response. "Wh-what, un?" He finally managed out, his voice was barely a whisper.

Hideki averted his gaze to the side, "I know you'll never forgive what I've done to you…but, just understand." He took a shaky breath, looking back at the blond, "Itachi has always been precious to me. The only one I've ever really cared for, well, before I met your mother of course." Deidara nodded, silently urging him to continue.

"Itachi has always loved you, even before I married your mother. He would go on and on about how beautiful you were, and how smart you were, and just, how perfect you were in his eyes. Your whole being was slowly consuming Itachi until all that was left was an empty shell obsessed with you. You see, Itachi's mother is my sister…meaning, I'm Itachi's uncle...and you're his cousin."

Deidara's eyes grew a fraction of a size as he gapped at his stepfather. Hideki nodded and took another shaky breath before continuing, "I couldn't stand my nephew falling apart for some cute little blond brat, so I…took it upon myself to treat you horribly, somehow thinking that by hurting you, I was helping Itachi. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it seemed to make since to me, at the time anyway."

"Slowly, Itachi…lost it. He became so absorbed in you and everything you did that one day he just snapped. He started to believe that abuse was the best form of love for you. Why? I have no idea. Like I said; Itachi wasn't the sanest person on earth." He chuckled and shrugged.

"Anyways, since I was already being a complete and total asshole to you, I kicked it up a notch, well, it was originally Itachi's idea, but I was more than happy to oblige to my nephew's request." Deidara nodded again. He couldn't believe how insane and unstable Itachi was. Just when ya think ya know a guy, come to find out that their total lunatics!

"You can only imagine Itachi's distress when you dumped him for Akasuna. He was crushed and bitter. He figured that if he couldn't have you, no one would. So he devised a plan to kidnap you and put a bullet in both of you heads'." He sighed, "I loved and still love Itachi, so hearing his idea…it just killed me inside knowing the impact you had on him. I hated you. I hated you so much for doing that to my dear nephew."

Deidara averted his gaze nodding solemnly. He understood how Hideki must've felt, Itachi was messed up in the head, and for him to take such extremes for one person must've made Hideki very bitter and angry inside too. He couldn't blame him there.

"I realize now, that it wasn't your fault. It wasn't Itachi's either. Itachi was…different. He was a fucking basket case, but that didn't make me love or care for him any less."

Deidara cleared his dry throat, speaking softly, "I understand, un. I thought I loved Itachi at one point, but…" he trailed off looking down again, "It wasn't love. What I have with Danna is love, un."

The older male nodded his understanding, "I know. It's very clear to me that you two are in love. That what you two have is real. But please try to understand, Itachi gave me his dying wish." He stood looking down to the caged blond with an almost apologetic expression, "I intend to fulfill that wish to the end. It's nothing personal."

He smiled, not smirking that smug smirk of his, or put on a fake smile that he put on around other people, but actually, genuinely smiled at Deidara before saying, "You're not so bad, kid. I know you'll be better off in the next life. I hope that when we meet again, they'll be under different circumstances and Itachi will be healthier." He walked off, disappearing into the dark hallway.

Deidara slumped down. Hideki was an asshole, no doubt. But he was also kind of caring too. He loved his nephew. He was only doing what was best for him.

He looked up to the ceiling and smiled, 'I'd like that, Hideki. But sadly, now isn't my time to die just yet.' His smile turned into a full blown grin as he closed his eyes allowing all of the new information to sink in. His thoughts drifted to his Danna. He was going to find a way out for both of them. He was going to kill Orochimaru for earlier and he was going to save Hideki from Itachi's dying wish. Everything was going to work out because if there's one thing Deidara learned from Hidan, it was how to be one tough motherfucker.

Woah...Hideki? Actually not being a total asshole to Dei? HELL HAS OFFICIALLY FROZEN OVER! xD

I have no idea where any of this came from...but I do know where I'm going with it!
