A/N this is set before Deidara became a missing-nin, so he is about 13-12 while Sakura is 10-11.
The little pink haired girl ran across the field in front of a swing set. Her smile was obviously plastered on as she approached a group of what he supposed were her friends.
The leader of the posse looked at her disdainfully as she said something, but then shrugged and the girl's fake smile grew larger and she followed them into a building- a florist's shop.
Deidara stretched as he got up and looked over at his two other teammates and looked around, wondering if he could get away with going somewhere exciting. With a smirk, he turned on one foot and walked towards the shop molding some of his special clay. He did not bother to turn around to listen to his female (and annoying) teammate screech at him to not explode the place. His male teammate continued trying to have a actual conversation, but was ignored by both the screeching girl, and the cocky Deidara.
Earlier that day;
Deidara and his team had just gotten to the Hidden Village. They were just stopping to rest a day or two. It felt nice to be able to stretch out and relax. Sitting in a park, he and his two other teammates did not talk that much. The girl only repeatedly reminded him not to use his explosions.
He could not help but roll his eyes whenever she said that. It would do the village some good to see some actual art. It had no architectural structure either. Just a lousy wall of faces.
Making small statues with his clay, he watched the different people walking through the park. Hell…this was boring. He ignored the art-ignorant teammates protests as he stood up and strode out of the park.
Looking around the village, he realized he was right about the arctehural design. It was horrible. The fact that he was right made him even grumpier than he was before.
Hearing laughter (obnoxious high-pitched half-fake…)he turned towards a group of girls. They were laughing at a small pink-headed girl. From what he could tell, she apparently had a large head.
He smiled as he looked down at his hands, the tongues licking over the teeth. He felt sorry for the girl, he used to be teased about his…problem. But after he found what they could do, the problems stopped.
Wondering weather or not he should even bother sticking up for the poor girl,he decided it would be worth it just to see the other girl's faces.
Sakura PoV;
Ino was not there to help her. she just stood there, hands behind her back, head down, shoulders hunched. It was easier this way. They would go away eventually as long as she didn't say anything.
"God dumbo, can't you even stick up for yourself? You really must be stupid, no wonder Sasuke haates you so much."
The comment struck a nerve and tears formed in her eyes. That only made it worse as the girls laughed again, and the insults grew worse. 'helppp.' She mentally whined.
"Hello ladies. Hmm.." A unfamiliar voice drifted to them.
Sakura lifted her head to look at who was talking. It was blonde with half-way long hair, and bangs that hung over one of his eyes, he probably was not much older than her. His head band told them he was not from Konaha. Shocked at the guy, she was stupid and simply stared at him.
The guy did not bother to introduce himself as he asked what they were talking about. After getting a good full minute of silence from all of them, the girls screamed as the boy's hand had..had a tongue licking it. Both of the hands had one.
The girls shrieked at the sight, and the guy smiled, laughing a bit at the attention they were getting. .
Instead of screaming, Sakura stared with interest, wishing she could examine them.
The guy smirked and walked away ignoring Sakura. She waited until he had turned done another street before going home to try to fix her hair over her forehead. She could not help but be thankful for the guy's help. Now smiling at the blackmail material, she wiped away her tears.
Present Deidara PoV;
Walking towards the shop, he changed his mind and headed towards a swing instead. It was obviously built for a 5-year-old, and his butt barely fit in it. He started pumping, bored, wanting to get a move on with the d mission already.
Pumping higher on the swing than he really should have, but it didn't matter. He was a foreign ninja-no one would laugh if the swing broke on him.
Swinging being boring already, he was about to get off, when the pink-haired girl shyly stood in front of him, slightly annoyed, he got up and started walking around her. the girl looked scared for a second before holding out a flower and presented it to him.
No way would ever had taken a flower, except for the fact that she had such a eager expression on her face. So, feeling like a idiot he took the flower, shrugged and walked back to his teammates. The girl behind him whispered "Thanks."
"What the hell Deidara? What are you a freakin' pedophile?" His girl teammate screeched at him.
"Pedophile? Wow, how'd that thought come in your mind perv,hmm?" He shot back and made a hand sign that kiddies really should not.
Sakura made a mental note of the name even though she'd proably never see him again.
