Okay. Today is the day. Find out what happened with Deidara's mother and we will meet someone from the brat's past.
Disclaimer: Nope.
Warning: Ehm, emotions, I was bored, again. That is what school does to me.
Deidara starred at the man he had found out was Itachi's father. The man was talking and whatever he said was probably important but he could not concentrate on it. His mind was blank.
His gaze did not move from unmoving body in the bed. Somebody had placed a white blanket so he could not see the person's face.
They had arrived late at night. Both had dressed in haste and did not care about what others might think about him. In the entrance Kisame, Itachi and the older Uchiha had been waiting for them.
Instead of being lead to his mothers room as he had thought they would be Deidara nad Sasori had been asked to follow into the doctor's office.
In there he had gotten the news.
He looked away from the person in the bed and blinked. His mother would be sad if she knew he was crying so he would not cry. She had loved his smiles but for the time being he did not feel like smiling. Actually he felt nothing. No, that was not true. He did not feel nothing he just felt empty. There was a difference… right?
Sasori's arm was around his waist. It was the only thing that kept him from sitting at the floor. He was not sure if his legs could carry his weight and it was not something he wanted to find out.
None of them had said a word since they entered the room. It was as if they were waiting for something to happen. Deidara did not know about the others. But he waited for his mother to start breathing again. To sit up and smile like she had done when he was little and came into her room after having a nightmare.
It was stupid. He knew that much. His mother was dead and there was nothing that could change that fact. Still a part of him could not help but hope it was all a dream. That he would wake up in his danna's arms and find out that his mother was still alive.
But it was not going to happen.
"How did it happen, un?" He turned his head to glare at Itachi's father as if it was his fault that she was dead, silently ordering him to speak. "Lately your mother's condition has been unstable. It was only a question about when. She did not wake."
Silence and then. "Did it hurt, un?"
"No,, she just slept in. Besides with all the medicine in her blood she would have been able to feel pain."
Deidara only nodded. He did not know what else to say or ask about. His head was filled with questions but for some reason he could not open his mouth. It was as if his voice was gone.
Suddenly Deidara turned around and hid his face in Sasori's shoulder. Finally he let the tears free not caring what the others would be thinking about him.
A hand rubbed his back gently and Deidara did not try to muffle the sounds any longer. He wanted the pain to go away. It felt like someone had cut a hole in his chest and taken out his still beating heart.
After a long time the tears stopped but Deidara did not move from his spot. He closed his eyes and tried to gain control over his breathing again.
"Mr. Iwa. There is something else we have to discus."
"Un." Deidara did still not move but leaned heavily against his danna's body. "I know the news about your disappearing. Do you care to tell where you have been all this time?"
The doctor's question was met with silence. "Very well, but I will warn you. There will be others who will ask you that queston and more. For your own best I hope you will answer them then."
Deidara continued ignoring the doctor. He would have to think what he should tell whoever that was going to ask. He would take care of that problem when time came.
"There is also a problem that you are a minion. Do you have any family who can take you in now that your mother is dead?" There was one…No. That bastard had lost all rights to have anything to do with him ever since he walked out of the door. "No, un. There is no one, un."
Later on
They had brought him with them. They had come while he had been sitting next to the bed with his mother. When he had not reacted to anything they had taken him out of the hospital.
Outside the room his danna had been. The puppeteer had only been gone for a few minutes to get them something to drink. From the look at his face Deidara could tell that his danna was not happy with what happened. But there had been nothing he could do about it.
Now he sat in what he thought was a interrogation room with a woman from the child-welfare department. She was dressed in pink she was even wearing a pink lipstick. She looked like a pig put in a dress.
All the questions she had asked until now he had ignored. She hid her frustration behind a sickly sweet smile he already loathed.
"Why do you not tell me where you have been these past months, my dear boy?" Deidara only glared at the woman. "You have been reported missing. Do you not have anything to tell me?"
"I am not your dear boy, un."
The woman bit back a sharp answer when Deidara yawned. He had not slept at all the night before, and now it was catching up with him. "Can I go now, un?"
A look at the woman's face told him that she was beyond fury. Maybe it had not been such a good idea ignoring her for this long.
"Unfortunately not. You have yet to answer my questions and before that happens none of us will be leaving this place." Deidara growled lowly. It had not been worth making her angry. But he would do it again because it was damn fun to piss her off.
"So ask your questions and I will give you some damn answers, un." The woman smiled. She seemed to think that she had won their little fight. "So will you please tell me, where you have been these past months?"
"Here and there, un."
"You little."
Deidara only smirked at the woman's reaction. He had no plans about playing her small game. "It was an answer, un."
The woman stood, suddenly all anger was gone and she was as calm as when she first had entered the room. That did not make Deidara worry. He had no idea about what had caused this sudden change of mood.
"Very well. Since you do not seem to want to go along you will have to stay here for the night. Meanwhile I will have people to look for some to take you in. I am sure that if you do not have any relatives a lot of others families will be willing to adopt you."
The blonde stood. "I won't be adopted, un. I want to go back to my danna, un."
"Are you not a little too young to be married?" Deidara glared at the woman. "He is not my husband, un. He is my…" Deidara frowned. What would he call their relationship? He knew for sure that they were not just friends any longer. But boyfriends? He would have to ask his danna about that when he saw the boy later on.
"He is someone I know from school, un." The woman only nodded. "Unfortunately we have to make sure that you do not just disappear again so you will have to stay here for the time being. I will see you again tomorrow, Mr. Iwa."
Deidara screamed t the closed door. He screamed until he no longer had any voice left. Then he started destroying anything within reach without caring if he got hurt or not.
Tired to the bone Deidara sat down at the floor with his back against the wall and facing the door. He ignored the bed in his new room and the food at the table. He was not hungry and he did not want to sleep in a bed. He doubted that he would be able to sleep without his danna with him.
5 days later
Deidara sat up and banged his head against the wall when the door opened. Groaning he realised that he had managed to fall asleep yet again while he was sitting at the floor. Now his neck was sore and the muscles in his back would probably kill him before the morning was over.
With his already dark mood Deidara turned his attention against the one who had disturbed his rest by banging into the room.
The man was not someone Deidara had seen before since he had been forced away from his danna days ago. Whoever the man was he did not look like someone who worked in the department of child-welfare.
His black hair was cut short and his skin was pale like a vampire's. If he did not know better he would have thought the man was related with Itachi. But the man was missing the dangerous elegance the Uchihas' moved with.
As the man looked around Deidara felt himself blush. The mess from his first day was still their since he had seen no reason to clean the place.
"Stand." Deidara glared at the man but did as he was told. Until he knew who the man was he would do as he was told. But that did not mean he would act like he liked it.
While leaning against the wall Deidara felt the man's eyes on him. It unnerved him.
"You look like a girl." Deidara raised an eyebrow. "So, what is it to you, un?"
"We will have to fix your speaking manner. And then you need a haircut. How our mother could let it get so long I do not understand."
By the mention of his mother Deidara felt anger flare up inside his chest. "Don't you dare to speak ill about my mother, un."
"I will speak about her as I wish to. After all I was married with her for five years."
Deidara was speechless. "You are lying, un."
"Unfortunately not. No matter how much it is against me to say it, you are still my son." Deidara looked the man over again. "We do not look alike, un."
"No, you like your mother."
The blonde felt proud thought he knew it was not meant to be a compliment. "Thanks, un. I do my best, un."
"We will have to change that when you come with me."
"What, un?"
Deidara felt anger take over. "I am not going with you, un. You lost all rights to have anything to do with me when you walked out on mother and me at that time, un."
"But I am not letting a son of mine going to an orphanage. Therefore you are coming with me. And since you are minion you have nothing to say in this matter. Now dress yourself we are going to the funeral."
The blonde paled. He had not known that his mother's funeral was due today. He was not sure that he was ready. It still felt too unreal for him.
He starred at the clothes his father had left to him. With a sigh Deidara started preparing himself. Might as well get ready. He would not risk being left behind because he was not dressed the right way. He ignored his shaking hands or the tears that were staining his face.
The drive to the graveyard had been in silence. Deidara had sat at the backseat while the man who called himself his father was driving.
Deidara had decided to ignore his father. He could not forgive the man for walking in his life. It was not like he needed or wanted the man there. If he could choose he would rather stay with his danna and friends.
At the graveyard Deidara saw Sasori and the rest of Akatsuki waiting for him. Ignoring his fathers gaze he walked over to his friends and let them embrace him. Deidara did not try to hold back his tears any longer.
Through the whole ceremony he stood with his friends in silence. He looked straight forward and saw nothing else than the grave. He wondered if his mother was up in the Heaven right now. If there was anything after this he hoped that if there was something after this he hoped she was up there. He knew no other who deserved to be there more than her.
He tilted it head back and looked at the blue sky. Not a cloud was to be spotted. It was truly a beautiful day.
"I am going away, un." The warm arms that had embraced him from behind through the whole ceremony let go of him. "Why?" He could hear the wonder in the voice. "My father has decided to take me in. He lives in England, un."
He heard Hidan scowl. "Fucking idiot. Thinks he can fucking part our fucking group like that." Kakuzu nodded. "We will be in contact no matter what it cost." Since it came from the money-lover he knew how much that meant.
"Tobi is going to miss Deidara-sempai."
"We are all going to miss him even I." Zetsu looked strangely close to crying and Tobi patted him on his back.
"Hn."
"Itachi says that we will do anything to get you back to us. If that man ever laid a finger on you we will come over and beat every inch of him. All you have to do is call us."
Pein stepped forth with a black a black bundle in his hands. "Though you are not really a member of your group we have all agreed to give you this. That way you will always have a way to remember us." Deidara took the bundle which were an Akatsuki cloak.
Konan threw herself in his arms and nearly knocked him of his feet. "I am going to miss you. You are one of my best friends and I will really miss discussing the wonders of paper with you."
"I am also going to miss you."
As the last one Deidara turned towards Sasori who, to his surprise, had tears in his eyes. "I love you, brat."
They embraced each other and stood like that for a time. "I love you too, un."
"Come over here. We are going now."
Deidara and Sasori ignored the man's voice and stood close together. "I am going to miss you."
"It is not like we not are going to see each other. I will talk with my grandmother about visiting. I mean it is not like England is that far away."
Deidara did not say anything. He was not sure if his voice would work.
He stepped back and forced himself to smile. "You guys have been great, un. Thanks for that."
Without waiting for an answer he turned around and walked to the car where his so-called father was waiting for him. "Get in, we have a flight we shall catch."
Back in the car Deidara looked out of the window with dull eyes. His heart hurt and he was not sure if it would ever stop aching like it was doing right now.
What had started with a prank had changed to him finding love and accepts for the first time in his life. He had finally found someone who loved him for who he was and did not care for his different style and deforms.
He knew he would never be able to forget those people. Even if he never got to meet them again he knew they would be together forever.
Yay this was last chapter. I hope you liked it.
So, Deidara left the country with his father who is a business man. The Akatsuki has to go on with a long distance relationship. *Sigh* Life is never easy. But who knows, maybe something will happen. After all in fiction it is us (me) who decides their fates.
I want to say thank to all those who took the time to read the time. Even bigger thanks to those who reviewed. You guys inspired me to write this story.
