With a glance at the clock Deidara closed the book he had been reading, stood up from his favourite seat and put the books back at their shelves. He liked the library. Not only was it a quiet place but it also seemed like most people in school had forgotten about this place.

He put his homework back in his bag and swung it over his shoulder. This part week had been… hard it the lack of more fitting words. Since Monday he had had the feeling that someone was stalking him. But when he tried to find out who it was the person seemed to disappear among the other students.

Still he could not let go of the feeling that someone was following his and when Akasuna was added it had been, as said before, hard.

Looking around he found that the place was empty. Deidara frowned. Normally there would be a handful of students in there but right now he could see no one.

He tried to walk slowly and calm towards the doors, the room's only exit. Still his eyes darted from here to there and he started sweating. He wanted to run as fast as he could out of the room but continued walking and telling himself how silly he was right now. He was at school. Nothing was supposed to could happen here. Still he couldn't calm down. All Deidara wanted was to get out of there and out where people were. Where he could disappear in the crow.

"So you are Deidara?" Deidara stoped in the middle of a step. He was sure that the boy leaning against one of the bookshelves in front of him had not been there a moment ago. On the other hand he had been in deep thoughts. The boy was nearly as tall as himself but clearly a few years younger. His hair was black, the skin was sickly pale and there was something familiar about the boy's red eyes."

"Who are you, un?"

"Uchiha Sasuske."

"Ushiha Itachi's little brother then, un."

"The only reason to why he is so famous is because he is on drugs. No one can be so good at things without taking drugs."

Deidara started snickering. "What? It is true. Just you wait and see. One day I will prove it and then everybody will know my name."

"I-it's not that, un."

The younger Uchiha stated to look weird at him. One of his eyebrows was twisting in a funny way. "Then what are laughing at?"

"Y-your hair, un." Tears stared to rol down his cheeks. "What is there about my hair?"
"It looks like a hence rear, un."

"You're clearly taking drugs."

He wiped his tears away and started walking. "Nice to talk to you, un. Say hello to your brother from me, un."

A hand grabbed the collar of his shirt and forced him to stand still. "Not so fast. We are not finished yet."

With a sigh he grabbed the other boys fingers, twisted them until he was forced to let go of his unless he wanted his fingers to break. "As I see it we have nothing more to talk about. So please excuse me, un."

He stepped towards the door only to find something standing in his way. "As much as I enjoy this game I really have to get going, un."

"Our leader wants to talk with you."

Deidara stared at the boy. He was fat. There was no other way to describe it. Most of his hair was gone and the little he had left was orange. "Who is your leader, un?"

"Orochimaru, and he does not take no for an answer." Until now only the orange haired boy had talked. It didn't seem like Sasuke liked to talk more than needed. At least he did not need anyone to translate a single sound into understandable words.

Now he regretted that he hadn't gone home together with Konan. But something told him this would still had happened if not another day.

"Unfortunately I don't have time for this, un. My mother is waiting for me and I don't want her to get worried, un."

"She will have to wait. You go with us either the hard way or the easy way."

"Okay, un."

He saw Sasuke look at him in disbelief. "Okay, what?"

"Okay, I will go with you. If you will just let me call my mother so she will know that I will late then we can be on our way"

When the younger boy nodded Deidara stepped away from the two boys. When the big one tried to follow him Deidara glared at him. Maybe he didn't look dangerous to most people but he knew he had a nasty glare, when he wanted it to be so. "Do you mind, un? It is kind of private."

First when Sasuke nodded and the other boy was, once again, standing in the doorway Deidara found his phone. As soon as he heard someone at the other end he started talking. "Hello, mum. It is Deidara. I will just say that I have finished my homework at the school's library but I won't be home yet. Some guy named Sasuke and one of his friends have invited me over to Orochimaru. You know that guy, right? Reminds one of a snake. But I'll be leaving school in a few minutes and I don't know when I will be home, un."

Before he could get an answer Deidara closed his phone and turned around to face the two other boys. "Let us get going, un."

Meanwhile.

"That was weird. You say that? What should we do? Ignore it? Then what if Sasori finds out about it? Do you remember what happened last time? … We better go and see what is going on."

The black and white coloured boy in the Akatsuki cloak stood up from his place among the flowers. He knew most people had left the school. It was hours ago the bell had rung for the last time that day. And he had thought that he and Tobi were the only ones on the school's ground.

"Come on idiot we have something to do. Don't call him that. Why not call him what he is? You are right."

"Tobi is a good boy." The orange masked boy danced around him holding a small, round stone in his arms. "Are we going now? Tobi wanna have icecream. Can we have icecream? Tobi loves icecream."

He holds up a hand to get the boy to be quiet. "We need Madara right now. It seems like Sasori's new boyfriend has gotten himself into troubles. I doubt that it is his fault. Whatever you say."

Tobi had stopped dancing around and stood without moving a single muscle. A dark aura seemed to be embracing him. "Let us go save Deidara." The orange masked boy's voice was different from before. Deeper and serious. In the holes of the mask he could see two reds eyes.

Inside the school.

Deidara was starting to doubt that this was a good idea. It didn't seem like his plan was going to work. Maybe he should have called Konan instead? But she was in the cinema together with her boyfriend. It would take too long for her to come. Before she arrived he would be long gone. He didn't know where any of the others were and wouldn't take the chance with calling them. But he knew that Zetsu usually was hanging around after school. Hopefully he wouldn't just ignore him.

They walked slowly with Sasuke in the front, himself in the middle and the fat boy guarding their backs. All too soon he could see the doors leading outside. As soon as they were outside he would try and run. Hopefully he would get far enough to be able to call for help. The fat one did not look like a fast one. It was Itachi's little brother he was more worried about.

He had not seen any students or teachers. It was like they had smelled troubles and decided to let him be on his own.

"Say, where are we going, un?"

"To the meeting place." The fat boy answered. "Where is it, un?"

"You will see soon enough."

Deidara sighed. Until now the big one had not told him a single useful bit of information. "Do you know what he wants to talk with me about, un?"

"You will know when he wants you to know."

The doors were opened and they stepped outside. Deidara narrowed his eyes in the light. The sun was hidden behind dark clouds and it seemed like it could start raining at any minute. But the air was still heavy and warm. He licked his lips which were dry.

Looking up from the ground he found that no one was around them. It did not seem like anyone was coming to his rescue. He would have to do things on his own like he used to do before he knew Konan.

Without wasting a second Deidara stepped away from the two boys. "Tell your dear leader that I don't feel like talking. Not today or any other day at all, un."

He turned around and sprinted towards the gate. He did not know if he could outrun them or not. As long as he could find someone who would help him or alert the police it would be enough.

Deidara yelped when something heavy and hard hit him from behind and made him fall.

He hit the ground. Trying to ignore the pain from the fall and the wet feeling at his palms and knees he rolled onto his back and glared at the two boys. He could feel the blood running down his hands and arms and knew that his knees were not much better.

"You idiot. We weren't supposed to hurt him." Sasuke said in a way that Deidara guessed was his way of yelling at people. Deidara stood up and grinned. He winced when his palms brushed against his gloves' fabric.

Their attention was not at him at the moment and Deidara backed backwards and towards the gate. They would not expect him to try the same thing two times. As his mother always said: If it does not work the first time then keep on trying until you success.

He turned around and tried to run to the gate one more time. This time he was forced to go slower because of the wounds he had gotten.

Nearly through the gate and out on the street two strong arms wrapped around him and forced him to stand still. "Got ya. Did you really think we would just let go like that? Orochimaru would have our heads if such a thing happened."

With a sigh Deidara went limp and bit his lower lip to hinder himself from crying out in frustration. "Can you please let go of me, un?" His voice was sweet and innocent. A trick Konan had learned him in the vacation. He turned his head and looked up at the boy with big eyes. It annoyed him that the other boy was taller than him but so were so many others also. "I can understand why Orochimaru wants one like you. When he is finished you will probably be passed on to us. I can't wait until I can have my time with you

Deidara whimpered. He knew he shouldn't and it would not help him but he could not stop the sound from escaping his lips. He had never been with anyone before neither girl nor boy. It didn't seem like he would be able to be a virgin much longer.

"We would let go of him if we're you. But if we were you we'll be idiots. You are saying something."

Through his tears Deidara saw Zetsu and Tobi walking towards him and smiled weakly. It seemed like not all hope was gone.

"Why should we?" Sasuke stepped in front of him. Blocking the way to freedom. "Because Deidara already belongs to Akatsuki."

"He hasn't been claimed yet." Deidara frowned. What exactly did Sasuke mean with claimed?

"Tobi is a good boy." Zetsu patted the orange masked boy on the head. "I'm sure that you all know Tobi. Who hasn't heard about the school's biggest idiot? Anyway he also has a middle name which I am quite sure that you know, Sasuke."

The younger Uchiha snorted. "Why should I care if I knew the idiot? If you don't have anything important to say then fuck off."

"Tobi's name is Tobi Madara Uchiha."

Deidara looked from one to another without understanding what was going on. Why was Sasuke suddenly shaking and looking a lot more pale than he had done a moment before? He simply didn't understand.

"Jimbo let go of the boy and let us get out of here."

"But what about-."

"It doesn't matter. I'll explain it to you later."

The blonde artist landed on the ground when there no longer was anything to hold him up. "Are you okay? Does he look like that? I did not ask you. No but he doesn't looks like someone who can talk much right now."

"Tobi says we take Deidara-sempei with us home."

Before Deidara could protest he was being lifted with a hand on his shoulders and another one under his knees. He started struggling, trying to free himself. "You don't have to do this, un. Just let go of me and I will be fine, un."

"And how can we be sure that you don't just run away as soon as you can?"

Deidara gaped at Tobi. The boy didn't sound like he usually would. His voice was deep and sends shivers down his spine. Realising he was looking like an idiot Deidara closed his mouth and surrounded. "Damn, un."

"Langue." Zetsu said and Deidara smirked. "English, un."

"He has humour. Just let us get going before someone sees us. You are right. When am I not? ... Don't ignore me."

Next: Deidara in Zetu and Tobi's place. Ice-cream and bunnies and something happens to Deidara's mother.

Remember to review.
