Chapter 3: The end of the day and what do they want

…Deidara. Sakura raised her eyebrow and asked: "And what the hell are you doing here?"

"Aww. Didn't you miss me at all, Saki? Seriously I know that you and Kisame were best friends and all but I'm still the best Akatsuki member."

"Sure. Whatever makes you sleep at night." said Kisame.

"Yeah. But Kisame I really gotta know something." asked Sakura.

"Shoot."

"How old were you when we met?"

"17."

"Yeah right."

"It's not so hard to believe."

"Honey, you gotta live with the fact that you aren't as cute as me." said Deidara.

"I don't need to be cute cause I'm the best fighter in Akatsuki. Right, Cherry Blossom?"

"If you don't count me, Meli, Kari, Kagi, Ruki, Itachi, Ricardo, Damien and..."

"Heh. Really funny, Cherry Blossom."

"I think it is." said Deidara who was laughing.

"Shut up Deidara. Now, what the hell are you doing in here?"

"Aw, Cherry Blossom. You don't believe me?" Kisame said.

"Who would believe you?"

"True. But anyway we will tell you what we are doing here if you let me tell the rest of the story." begged Deidara.

"Do I have a choice?"
"Nope." said Deidara and began the story:

"What are you doing here, Kisame?" asked Kagi rudely.

"The leader told me to watch over you." Kisame said.

"Sure he did. And when Tobi told everyone to search for Meli you were just checking from here." muttered Ruki.

"I take it that you don't believe me."

"Not a chance." shot Kari.

That was when Kisame noticed little Saki and walked towards her. He gave her his hand and said:

"I'm Kisame. And you are?"

Saki hid behind Kagi who glared at him. Before she could open her mouth Meli said:

"If I hear that you have hurt or scared her I'll make sure that you are in same condition as Deidara."

Kisame gulped. Even thought Meli was just a kid her power was amazing.

"Of course, Lily."

"Good. Now help us to decorate this room. It's way too dark."

"Yes Forget-Me-Not."

"And make someone to go to Deidara's room and wake him up."

"But, Rose, he's in coma." Everyone turned to look at Meli.

"Fine I'm going."

Meli went away. Kagi, Ruki and Kari looked at each other and muttered then:

"Why do I have this feeling that we will have to decorate this room without Meli?"

Saki giggled and Kisame smirked. Now it was time to decorate.

"Moving on, Deidara. I'm sure as hell that I don't want hear what my room looked like after we had decorated it." Sakura said with a frown on her face.

"Yeah. I can still remember how the Flowers made me wear a pink apron." Kisame complained.

"Well it's not like it was easy for me. Do you know how cruel Melanie can be?"

"Now we are talking. I haven't heard this story. Go on." said Sakura with little smile.

"Jeesh. You really aren't patient."

"Do it!"

"Alright, alright. Bitch."

Sakura threw a kunai at Deidara who quickly started his story.

Meli walked to yellow room and frowned. What was wrong with his uncle's fashion sense and muttered quietly:

"Since Deida-kun can't go to missions for a while, he can't paint this room, the living room and the kitchen. That should be exercise enough for him."

She walked next to a bed where a boy who was twelve years old was sleeping. She played with his blond hair and muttered:

" Nouse hiljaa Deidara. Haavasi paranevat… nyt!!!" (1)

Deidara opened his blueeyes and blinked few times. Then he looked next to him and saw grinning Meli.

"It was about time you woke."

"What do you mean, Lily?" asked Deidara and yawned.

"There are a new girl and a new man in Akatsuki. The girl is Cherry Blossom and the man a creep."

Deidara stifled his laugh and said with a smirk:

"So there is a new flower with us. I'm sure that she will prove to be interesting."

Meli's grin disappeared and she said coldly:

"You won't touch her. And make sure that everyone in Akatsuki will hear this. If anything happens to Kari, Kagi, Ruki or Saki, I'll test my new jutsus on you. Is that clear?"

"Crystal." said Deidara. He was little scared when Meli used that voice. It proved that Meli truly was the niece of the Akatsuki's leader.

"Good. Now let me help you up." Meli came and helped him stand up. They started to walk towards the kitchen, when Deidara complained that he was hungry. In the kitchen they saw a woman with brown hair and brown eyes.

"Hey Rin!" said Meli.

"Rin, are sure that you're only 20 years old?" asked Deidara who saw Rin as his sister.

"Yes, I'm quite sure. Why are you asking?" asked Rin sweetly. She was a medic-ninja in Akatsuki and not even the leader knew the reason why he was in Akatsuki. Meli had some ideas but she didn't dare to ask about Rin's past. Only one who knew something about her past was Ruki.

"Because you look so old." Deidara ran quickly away so he wouldn't get hurt because of Rin's shurikens.

"Sorry about Deida-kun, Rin-chan. So what's for dinner today?"

"I don't know what would you want to have?"

"How about chicken and rice? Do you have all ingredients for it?"

"Unfortunately, no."
"Well I'll ask Kagi to make someone to go shopping then."

"Okay but I need the ingredients in two hours. You know how boys get if they don't get food soon enough."

"Yeah, yeah. Well I'll see you around."

"Bye Meli. And remember, don't paint the attic yet."
"Si. Ciao!"

At the same time Saki, Kagi, Kari and Ruki were sitting on Saki's bed. Saki sighed and said:

"Do you think that training will be hard?"
"Knowing Sasori-sensei, we will as good as death after the training." commented Kari.

"So you haven't had any practices before?" asked Saki.

"No. I just got here a month ago, Ruki two weeks ago and Kari one. Meli has been here since she was five." explained Kagi.

"So I'm not the only new one here?"

"Of course not, I don't even know everyone's names. And my room was decorated a week ago." comforted Ruki.

"Phew. I really thought that I was going to be very out of everything."

"Don't worry. You won't be." said Meli from the door with smirk on her face.

"So friends forever? "asked Kari.

"Yeah." said Saki and put her hand on the top of Kari's.

"I'm in." said Ruki and did the same thing as Saki.

"Well I don't think that I have any other choice." said Kagi and put her hand on the pile.

"You have no idea how boring it has been without any friends except Deida-kun who can be really annoying." smiled Meli. Saki laughed and smiled brightly. She finally had some friends.

"Aw. How cute!" mocked Kisame.

"How can you say cute when Melanie said that I was annoying?" cried Deidara.

"Argh. I don't really understand how I can stand you!" screamed Sakura making everyone else except Kisame and Deidara jump.

"Sakura-chan? Why didn't you tell me that you were part of Akatsuki?" asked Naruto with sad tone.

"It's not something I'm proud of. Plus we all left it behind when we escaped. Now Deidara and Kisame, can you tell me the real reason you're here?" Sakura said.

"You're as clever as always Cherry Blossom. We are here to get your ring. We need it with the statue." explained Kisame.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I won't give it to you." Sakura said and took the fighting stance.

"I guess that we don't have any other choice." sighed Deidara while he and Kisame took their fighting stances. Suddenly all of them jumped when two kunais were thrown outside the open window.

"I thought that I made it clear that if one of the Akatsuki hurts my friend I will use my jutsus on them. Isn't that right, Deida-kun?"

Sakura smirked. Now the fight was going to get interesting.

(1.) It's Finnish and it means: Wake up quietly Deidara. Your wounds will heal...now!!!
