Hidan/Sakura/Deidara

I sat back in my desk and thought about middle school. I was the toughest thing since Genghis Khan (history reference –laughter-) and no one could ever beat me. I would fight with every last drop of my blood and act all bad ass around anyone I could just to show that I can't be touched.

I was a psycho.

When it came to high school on the very first day I punched Hidan and got Deidara suspended for trying to throw bombs at me. They were small sure, practically cherry bombs but he still got into trouble. He's done a lot worse you know.

"Thinking about your past, bitch?" A voice asked from the doorway. I looked up and saw Hidan. With a smirk I nodded and motioned for him to come over, the man did as I willed him to do and began to laugh when I told him the exact memory. At the mention of bombs Deidara was in the room as well. Soon we had Uno cards out and were playing for money.

"Gambling freaks." Haku sighed but when he noticed the cards he burst out laughing. I couldn't blame him. Seeing three adults playing Uno for money may look a little odd but whatever. I ordered three hot chocolates and we were complete for a while.

"You were such a bad ass in high school, yeah!" Deidara laughed looking at me, he then ran a hand through my hair to show how I'm softened up. When I was in high school I would have bitten that hand and punched him right in the face.

"I know I was, and none of you guys could keep up." I added with a smirk. Hidan just grunted while Deidara nodded bitterly. He was never all that bad.

"Damn it all to fucking hell, we tried but you were the shit." He grumbled then glanced over at me. I saw the spark of pride in his eyes and had to blush, I mean, it's been a while since I've seen that look. When I was bad I was bad and it was much worse than what Michael Jackson was thinking with his song.

"I was and yet I dated one of you." I sighed and leaned back with twenty three cards. Deidara had two and Hidan had three.

"That was a mistake, yeah." Dediara nodded and was about to say Uno but I caught him to it. The man glared at me but said nothing knowing better. I frowned and thought about what I would have done as a kid. We wouldn't even be playing this game right now, I was so full of hormones… man I would have been flirting one of these guys to the ground but none of the Akatsuki ever took my virginity.

"Fucking hell you could have picked someone better." Hidan grumbled making me laugh along with Deidara. I had dated Itachi and in the end it ended and it hurt. He wasn't nice about it either. When someone ditches you in the Akatsuki they ditch you.

"I really could have." I sighed and nodded. There's so much I could have done but instead I was a fucktard and ruined it all. I could have been so great but of course I decided to grow up instead, but I like the way I've grown up. The people I have and the great pay make up for the crazy hours and all the dramatic stupidities that happen all the time

"You have some major issues, un." Deidara smirked and then won the game. I glowered at him and stood up to complain to Haku, but when I got over there the door opened and an incredibly pissed off Gaara walked into the room.

"E-bay won't accept me!" He shouted angrily causing me to glance over at him and nod knowing this is old news. Naruto called in and told me all about it. He's a billionaire and yet he lives in the same kind of houses I do… cheap bastard.

"Yes, yes we should all know this by now." I informed him blankly waiting for the man to say something interesting and new while Haku handed me my hot chocolate. Taking a sip I sighed… another sweet without any real sugar.

I hate you Haku.

"Didn't we all know this, yeah?" Deidara asked as he shuffled the cards. I stared at him for a moment and glared when he motioned for me to come over. Gaara just stared at us in shock and then glowered harder than before.

"Why am I the last to know?" He demanded making me just now realize that he's holding a scalpel. He was clutching it so hard that his knuckles were white and his face red. Not as red as his hair, of course, since that's pretty much impossible but it was red. Really red.

"Because you're the last fucking bastard to try it." Hidan grumbled looking at his cards while I put down my own not wanting to look at them anymore. Deidara was just smiling making me exchange glances with Hidan before stealing the cards.

"CHEATER!" I screamed angrily and tossed the cards to the ground. Everyone stared at me in stony silence as Haku got down on his hands and knees picking up the cards, wow… I didn't know anyone could get that bored.

"He always cheats." Hidan said with a shrug as he took a sip of his own drink. The blond just shrugged with an innocent smile but that innocent smile is a lie… he was never that innocent! He was a fraud all along!

"You look like you're doing that evil commander voice in your head again, yeah." Deidara informed me as he pointed at my head.

"No it's more like an evil Cat-Woman or something." I replied placing a finger on my chin as I began to think about it. That's when I stopped and glared at him in annoyance. "You were trying to make me forget that you're a cheater weren't you!" I accused feeling incredibly hyper but mad all at the same time.

"Why did you break up with Itachi again, un?" He asked making Gaara sit down where he stood suddenly interested in our existence and the words coming out of our mouths. I mean, we all know that he could care less most of the time and suddenly he's sitting down like a good little boy? Something's up!

"Oh well Itachi was a jerk and it could never work out… plus he was going blind and all until Dr. Booth Eye Care in Laser Center decided to help him out for a bargain price. I mean, you know him. He'll beat any deal in the area." I said quoting his ad, everyone looked at me for a moment and then Gaara stood up and just left. I looked at them all and shrugged.

"So… you dumped him and then he went off to some doctor so he could see?" Haku asked making me look over at him and shake my head.

"That's not it at all! He cheated on me with Konan and in my frustrated rage I told him that he's a blind old man making him go see this oddball doctor who helped him out! Itachi was a sociopath I swear!" I cried making them all look at me for a long time before going back to whatever they were doing. I just sighed and picked up my new cards ready to play.

Five games later I got pissed off again since Deidara won all five rounds including all the other games, but that's alright. Hidan got my money back for me and even gave me his own if I won't tell Pain that he's going to torture the blond for a while.

I stood up with a sigh and looked at the sun slowly rising to the surface. Wow another all nighter at work… it sucks. Sitting at my desk I laughed aloud seeing that the letters had arrived already. I swear there's some magic going on or something because we were in here all night and I still got letters without noticing it.

"You just have issues." Tobi informed me from the corner. "I mean, this happens all the time and yet you're too stupid to notice it." He continued making me throw a paperweight at him. The man dodged and quickly left the room with the giggles chasing after him.

"Damn him." I grumbled then opened up the first letter. It's from Tobi of course…

Dear Sakura,

I want to be invited to play Uno! You people are so mean! By the way it was kind of funny the stuff you were talking about from when you were younger, should have mentioned the things we used to do. Just a thought.

Tobi

P.S. another all nighter? I need some sleep you know.

I smirked at this and tossed it in the shredder. When I was in high school with Tobi… we broke the law without even caring. It wasn't like we tried, it was more like it just happened. We didn't give a fuck, not at all.

Sakura,

Deidara decided to place a bomb in my car, if you could please murder him that would be great. Thank you so much for reading this and remember… high school was lame if we weren't together.

Sasori

P.S. I wouldn't have cheated you out of money. I'm not stupid.

I smiled at this then turned to Haku. "Can you call Neji and tell him he needs to call Sasori to tell him that the blond will be taken care of." I said this sweetly even though Deidara was in the room looking at me with curiosity all over his features.

Dear Haruno,

I didn't cheat on you, Konan just threw herself at me. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you had another reason so I was willing to let you go, but if that was it then I'm sorry I didn't tell you something sooner. Please come back to me if that was the only reason.

Thank you.

Itachi.

I blushed at this then glared and put it through the shredder twice. Haku glanced over at me with wide eyes as he had his phone pressed against his ear. I just waved with a light smile on my face unwilling to answer his unspoken questions.

Dear Sakura,

You know I love Uno, I know I love Uno, Hidan knows I love Uno, and Deidara knows I love Uno… so WHY THE HELL WAS I NOT PLAYING UNO?

Kisame

P.S. you know… the things we did in the pool at our school need to be documented and flashed in front of those cocky friends of ours.

I paled lightly thinking of how they would react if there were any videos of what the fish man and I used to do but I already destroyed the evidence a long time ago… "Hey guys we need to have Kisame play Uno with us sometime, he felt really left out." I informed them all nonchalantly hoping they couldn't hear the quiver in my voice.

Sakura Haruno,

This was fun, we need to hang out more often. It's like your too busy working lately to spend time with the gang. Whenever you have nights like this invite me over.

Hidan.

P.S. if I don't fucking cuss a whole bitching shitload like normal then I sound like a decent bastard right?

I smirked and glanced over at Hidan who was pointedly ignoring my stare. That's when I saw the last letter.

Sakura-flower,

Thanks for having me over like you did, I'm happy you're my friend but I think I'll be leaving soon, un. You can come with if you want. There's this art thing going on and it'll take me a year to get back to you… so I guess these letters will have to be real letters, yeah?

I love you.

Deidara

P.S. tell me later if you'll come with.

Quickly I looked up but Deidara was already gone and Hidan was looking upset. I wiped my slightly watery eyes and looked down.

"But you just showed up…" I mumbled.
