"I trust you, Deidara, that you keep an eye on this girl. Never let her out of your sight."
"Hai, Leader-sama." Deidara replied before he left the Leader's room. The Leader then turned to Kisame.
"Kisame, I trust Ryuu to you. Let us see if he can pass our tests."
Kisame grunted which means he approves and left the room.

Where…am I?
What…happened?
Akira opened her eyes and found herself lying on her bed. At first, she looked cautious at her surroundings. But when she caught the sight of Deidara watching over her as he was sitting by the bed, her eyes softened.
"She finally wakes up, un." Deidara said, which made Akira smile for the moment there.
"How long have I been unconscious?" She asked him, trying to avoid his gaze.
"About 2 days already, un." Deidara replied.
"Oh…"
Silence filled the room…but not for long.
BANG.
Kisame came bursting in.
"Oh. Was I interrupting?" He said with a grin on his face, as usual.
"NO. NOT. AT. ALL." Deidara replied, "Why did you come bursting in here anyway, un?"
"I just wanted to know if you knew what our breakfast is today."
"Oh, Suzuka's making breakfast today, un."
"THAT BRAT?!? SHE'S GOING TO COOK BREAKFAST?!? SHE MIGHT PUT POISON IN IT!"
Coincidentally, Suzuka passed by the room.
"Don't worry, shark boy, I'll be making Shark Fins for breakfast!" She teased and began to run since Kisame was going to chase her any second now.
"GET BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!" Kisame exclaimed as he ran after Suzuka.
Akira made a weird look on her face.
"What's wrong, un?" Deidara asked her.
"I thought that Akatsuki would be merciless and can't be comedic. But now, after seeing that incident—"
"Looks can be deceiving, Akira. Looks can be deceiving, un."
"Your look isn't deceiving…it's perfect." She said out loud.
"Huh? What did you say, un?"
"NOTHING!!!" Akira exclaimed, blushing furiously, "I meant 'Yeah, you're right!'"
Deidara scratched his head. And together, they headed out of the door and went to where all the other Akatsuki members were…
…eating breakfast, of course!

"Itachi-san, could you pass me the rice?" Tobi asked.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, Tobi." Itachi muttered as he handed the rice to him.
"Zetsu's taking a long time looking for 'food'…again." Kisame said, who was contented that it wasn't Shark Fins for breakfast, or so what he thinks. (Mwehehehe…)
Leader and Ryuu continued to eat silently. (Very good, Leader and Ryuu show Tobi how to eat properly!)
Suzuka smiled. Kisame doesn't know that he's actually eating…
"WHAT THE FUCK?! THERE'S A FISH TAIL HERE!!!"
Scratch that.
"Oops." Suzuka said with an innocent expression on her face. Darn it! That was so close! He was having such a good time eating 'em fish tails, she thought.
"SUZUKA!!!" Kisame exclaimed as he aimed the dish at Suzuka. But somehow, he missed.
"Kisame, don't play with food…again." Itachi muttered.
Leader quickly finished his breakfast and left to do some work before things could get messy, while Ryuu and Tobi watched Kisame and Suzuka arguing.
Itachi knew it was going to happen soon…

"So Akatsuki can be goofs at times?" Akira asked.
"Hai. Kisame has been the goofiest here ever since we brought Suzuka here, un." Deidara replied. "We're here."
Akira looked up and said, "The dining room?" Deidara nodded.
"We haven't eaten breakfast yet, you know, un." He said as he opened the door in front of them.
They then found themselves in the middle of a…
"Deidara-sempai! Akira-chan! Come join us in the food fight! Tee hee!" Tobi exclaimed before a dish came hitting him on the face (err…mask).
Akira couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Deidara, whose face was covered with fish tails.
"You okay, Deidara?" She asked.
"I'm fine, un." Deidara replied sarcastically as he pulled out chairs for the both of them. "Hey Itachi-san, are there any food left?"
"There are leftovers in the fridge from yesterday or if you don't want leftovers, you can try catching them mid-air." Itachi replied.
"I'd prefer leftovers than flying food, un." Deidara replied.
Moments later after the food fight ended (Author's note: Let us thank Itachi for stopping mess.), Zetsu came in with an unsatisfied appetite.
"The food I ate wasn't enough," Zetsu replied, "I need more." He then saw Akira who was eating the leftovers with Deidara. "Well, she looks…appetizing."
"Eh?" Akira didn't know at first that Zetsu was cannibal. "You must be really really hungry. And, I'm not edible!"
"Zetsu's a cannibal. He eats people, un." Deidara whispered in her ear. Akira sank in her chair.
"Please don't eat me."
"Yeah, eat Tobi instead!" Suzuka said, snickering.
"But Tobi's a good boy! And Zetsu-san likes Tobi, right, Zetsu-san?"
"Yeah, he likes you Tobi. You look perfect for dessert." Kisame said which made Tobi sink into his chair.
After everyone had finished their meal (Zetsu was still a bit hungry), they went back to what they felt like doing. Itachi went back reading a book in the room. Kisame was told to test Ryuu. Suzuka went back developing her techniques. Zetsu, well, went to look for some more food. Tobi went along with Zetsu, since he had nothing to do. As for Akira and Deidara…
"Deidara?" Akira called out.
"Hmm?" Deidara asked.
"Can I go outside?"
"No way, un."
"Why not?" Akira asked, pouting.
"Because…well… Leader-sama forbids you to go out of the headquarters, un."
"Then come with me, watch over me…I won't go anywhere."
And finally, Deidara agreed to accompany her. Akira grabbed her bag and dragged Deidara away.
"Where are we going anyway, un?"
Akira left Deidara curious on where they were going.
What is Akira up to now?
