And The devil Marches On

Chapter 22

Previously On ATdMO:

My face felt like it was about to explode from embarrassment! I know I must look ridiculous from blushing so much. But how would YOU feel if you had to hold a stupid pink Dildo and a pack of condoms!?

~~

"Hey dobe, you okay?" He whispered to me and quickly pulled his hand back to his desk. The question and the way he spoke it out of pure curiosity helped dissipate my anger, if only a little.

~~

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU TEME!? Put me down!! NOW!" I shouted and squirmed in his arms restlessly. He just sighed and let me down so I was standing on my own. I huffed and snatched up my orange notebook before stomping out of the room to go to next period which happened to be with Deidara-Sensei, which I didn't have the chance to go to yesterday.

I hope his class isn't as crazy as the others…

Naruto's POV

Deidara's Class…

As I walked into classroom #7, the first thing I noticed was the room was pretty large with a bunch of circular tables spread through out the space, and there was a long desk at the front of the classroom. There was no whiteboard at the front but there was this huge human-shaped sculpture on the teacher's desk (or at least I assumed it was a teacher's desk). As I took another look around the room I smiled as I glanced at the posters splayed all around the walls, but instead of them being perverted stuff like in Jaraiya's class, they were beautiful portraits and famous paintings. I recognized a few of them, like Picasso, Da Vinci, Van Gogh, and so on and so forth.

My smile widened as I noticed Tobi and Lee waving me over to one of the round tables they were sitting at. I quickly weaved my way towards them and took a seat beside Tobi, who gave me a big hug as soon as I sat down.

"H-hi you guys!" I wheezed out from the bone-crushing hug.

—^-about 10 minutes later-^—

So far so good!

This class seemed pretty normal thus far, except for the fact that Lee and Tobi have been talking nonstop, but I didn't mind it at all. It was nice to have people to talk to… even though one of them couldn't shut up about Youth…

Oh well.

It was much better than having those stupid perverted teachers at the moment, and Tobi kept telling me how wonderful Deidara-sensei was.

Speaking of which, the guy (or girl) wasn't even here yet!

Just as that thought crossed my mind though the door was thrown open, making me jump a little, and in came the teacher! (Great timing, yes?)

He had long blonde hair and his bangs covered his left eye mysteriously, and he had this feminine appeal to his physique.

Not that I was really paying that much attention to that though…

"Now class today we're going to be doing some writing in our sketchbooks. I want you to write a short little story that is roughly a page long, it can be about anything you want, but keep in mind that tomorrow you're going to be making a masterpiece about that story." He said and then his eyes locked with mine. He hummed in thought before walking over.

"You must be the new kid I've heard so much about. Well, it's a pleasure to have you in my class and I look forward to seeing just how talented you are." He said and ruffled my hair. I closed one eye as he ruffled my hair and pouted at the kid-like treatment but just shrugged it off and smiled up at him.

"Yeah, so far I'd say this is my favorite class." I laughed. He nodded and patted my head again before turning to walk back to his desk.

YES!

This class is actually normal!!

I had this big urge to jump up and shout in victory! But I thought better of it when I saw all the kids writing in their sketch books intensely.

Ah! I forgot about sketchbooks! Oh well, I guess I can just write the story in my orange notebook and ask Iruka to get me a sketchbook when we get back from that Onsen fieldtrip.

Just as I was about to open up my handy dandy notebook ((A/N: *giggle* I couldn't resist….)) I looked up and saw Deidara-sensei working on that sculpture that was on his desk. He seemed to be adding some sort of clay to the arms and he began smoothing it down expertly. I shrugged after a while and turned back to my notebook, but I couldn't help shaking off this feeling that something… unexpected… was about to happen. And it didn't help that Lee, Tobi, and the rest of the class were sending Deidara-sensei these wary glances.

I tried to ignore the feeling after a little while and began writing random words and sentences in my notebook to distract myself. I wasn't really even paying attention to what I was writing… I was too worried about what was going to happen.

I felt like i was about to melt from the anticipation and worry...

And

THEN IT HAPPENED!!

The clay arm that Deidara-sensei was smoothing down suddenly fell off!!

OH-MI-GAWD!!

Wait…

That wasn't really as dramatic as what I was expecting…

Oh well, back to writing.

Just when I was about to continue writing, Tobi abruptly took hold of me and dragged me under the table with him. That's when I JUST noticed that all the other students were doing the same thing.

"What th-"

But I couldn't say it fast enough before

KABOOM!!!!!!

There was a huge explosion that went off. Random debris hit my back as I curled up into a ball (Fetal Position!!) and covered my ears from the extremely loud blast. My eyes were snapped shut and I refused to open them! Not even after the noises were gone, except for the eerie hiss of dust and dirt settling onto the ground.

nononoNoNoNONONOONO!

This was supposed to be a normal class dammit!!

I felt a hand grip my shoulders and shake them a little while the worried voice of Lee said, "Naruto, are you okay?? Hey! Naruto!"

I finally decided to look up at the green-clad teen and smiled reassuringly to him. He sighed in relief and we both looked around for Tobi. I was the first to spot him over by where the explosion had come from. The Uchiha was kneeling beside the burnt over and unconscious body of Deidara-Sensei.

Some kids sighed and began walking out of the classroom, not really caring for their Sensei's current wellbeing. I felt my body trembling slightly as I walked over to sit beside Tobi. I looked down and saw that Deidara's pretty face was caked with soot and dirt, but then I pried my eyes away to look at Tobi's still form.

"Is he going to be okay?" I asked meekly while eyeing the other's expressionless face. The Uchiha didn't even look at me as he sighed and nodded.

"Yeah, he'll be fine."

"What WAS that?" I asked to no one in particular while tugging at my hair in frustration.

This time Lee plopped down on the other side of me to answer.

"It was the statue that Deidara-sensei was making. He likes to put bombs in the statues and send them off to others as some kind of prank, but a lot of times the statue will go off on its own when it breaks or cracks." Lee explained as he rubbed the back of his head.

"WHAT!? Are you friggin kidding me!? What the hell!!?" I shouted in disbelief. There was no way that a teacher would make something so dangerous in a classroom full of kids! And who in their right mind would use explosives as a PRANK!?

"UGH! I'm out of here!" I yelled and got up. Tobi and Lee both shrugged and waved goodbye as I picked up my orange notebook and stomped over the broken chairs and tables and ceiling pieces as I made my way towards the door.

I took one last look in the demolished room before shaking my head and walking down the hall.
