The Next Morning

Beep! Beep! Beep!

I awoke. What was that noise?

I sat up and listened. I could hear sounds coming from Deidara's room. I heard an angry grunt and a crash. The beeping stopped immediately.

Then I heard the squeak of springs and heavy footsteps heading towards the bathroom. I looked at the clock on the wall.

6:30 a.m.

I heard the rush of water. Deidara was taking a shower.

I rubbed my eyes and got out of bed. I sighed when I noticed I had slept in my clothes. I made the bed and opened the curtains. Dim light poured in, lighting the room a little.

Normal POV

Five Minutes Later

Deidara walked into his room. He pulled a pair of socks and boxers out of his one of his drawer, took off the towel around his waist, and pulled on the boxers.

Deidara grabbed some jeans and a shirt. He pulled on the jeans and pulled on the socks. He reached under the bed for his Vans.

Ten minutes later, after finding and putting on his shoes, Deidara put on his shirt and grabbed his studded belt. He put it on and looked for his comb. He decided to wear his hair down today.

Heavy footsteps announced that Deidara was coming downstairs.

Midori looked up from her coffee and saw Deidara coming downstairs. She frowned at the mess of black, the only other color being Deidara's hair.

"Are you going to school, Deidara?"

Deidara looked up. "Huh? Oh...yeah, I am..."

"Do you...want a ride or something? I mean, it's a long walk," Midori said, taking a sip of her coffee. She looked at Deidara, who looked tired.

"No thanks," Deidara said. "I always walk, hm..."

Before Midori could say anything else, Deidara was out the door.

xxxxxxx

Deidara finally got to school, fifteen minutes later.

He walked around, looking for a sign of a short red-headed person. No luck. He did see, however, a blue-haired girl waving at him.

He walked towards Konan, who was sitting next to Pein.

"Hey guys," Deidara said.

"Hey," Both Pein and Konan said together.

"Where's everybody else?" Deidara asked, sitting next to Pein.

"They're not here yet," Pein said.

Deidara sighed and rubbed his forehead. His head hurt."Ow..."

"What's with you?" Konan asked.

Deidara groaned. "Hung over..."

Pein laughed. "As always..."

Deidara looked at Pein. "What?"

"Well...you're always hung over," Pein said with a smile. "Pathetic really..."

Deidara frowned. "What do you care?"

Konan looked at Deidara then at Pein. "Pein, stop it. You're being stupid..."

Pein looked at Konan. He smiled and turned back to Deidara. "Sorry..." He said. "...sorry you're so pathetic!"

Pein burst out laughing. Anger filled Deidara, but he smiled. "It's ok...I mean, you must be so happy...having two girlfriends and all, hm..." he said with a smirk.

Pein's smile disappeared.

Konan's expression hardened, she turned to look at Deidara. "Nante iimashitaka?"

"It's true, him and Hikari were real busy behind the library yesterday..."

Before Konan could say anything, Pein had tackled Deidara to the ground. "You-stupid-son-of-a-bitch!" he roared, emphasizing each word with a blow to Deidara's face.

"Pein...stop it..." Konan said.

Deidara punched Pein in the face. Pein fell off of Deidara and sat up. He spit blood out of his mouth. "You hit like a girl..."

"You look like a girl..."

Deidara scowled and made to stand up, but Pein kicked him and he fell back to the ground. He turned and grabbed Pein's leg and tugged. Pein came crashing to the ground.

"Pein! Deidara! I said STOP IT!" Konan screamed.

Deidara lowered his fist and turned to look at Konan. She looked livid.

"You, you sorry son of a bitch!" Konan shrieked, pointing at Pein, who frowned. "Go! Make out with Hikari. Do it while you still have a girl, because I'm out of here!" With that said, she stormed away.

Pein watched her go, a pained expression on his face. He turned to look at Deidara.

Someone came up behind them. "What the hell happened here?"

Deidara turned around and saw Sasori standing over him. Sasori helped him up.

"Blondie over here lost me my girlfriend," Pein said angrily, standing up.

Sasori looked amused. "Which one? And by the way, only Kakuzu is allowed to call Deidara 'Blondie' you know..."

Pein scowled and walked away.

Sasori turned back to Deidara. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, hm..."

"Are you sure?" Sasori said, looking suspiciously at the blonde. "You've been acting real strange lately. And I don't like the looks of those bruises. It's your dad again isn't it?"

Deidara sighed. "Yeah...but what can I do? The guy's like twice as big as me..."

"Have you told Midori?"

Deidara almost laughed. "That stupid lady wouldn't know the truth if it came to her doorstep and slapped her in the face..." he said. "She doesn't believe me, hm."

"Deidara..." Sasori said. "You're just giving up...every time! Look...I know I haven't been around as much as I'd like to-"

"Except for last night," Deidara said with a small smile.

"Deidara! Would you listen to me?" Sasori hissed. "I've been busy and I haven't been able to be with you that much. But, Chiyo is fine now, I can go to your house more often or go places, ok?"

Chiyo was Sasori's grandmother, who had been sick for a while, causing Sasori to have to stay home more than usual.

"Ok," Deidara said, looking at the red head.

Sasori smiled. "Good," he said, giving Deidara a hug. "I'm just worried about you..."

"Don't be..." Deidara said, returning Sasori's hug. "I'll be fine..."

"And one more thing..." Sasori said.

"Hm?"

"No more smoking," Sasori said.

Deidara groaned.

Deidara walked into class just as the tardy bell rang. He sat at his desk and put his head down on the desk with a thud.

"Long time no see, blondie..."

Deidara looked up. Next to him, in the usually empty seat, Kakuzu was sitting. He was wearing a black hoodie, with the hood over his head and black, ripped-up jeans. Deidara could see a smile under the hood.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"I was expelled from the other school," Kakuzu said casually.

"So how'd you get back here, hm?" Deidara asked.

"Money does wondrous things, blondie," Kakuzu replied.

Deidara shook his head. "What about Kisame?"

"He's here too, we both got expelled..."

"What the hell did you guys do?"

Kakuzu smiled wider. "We threw a teacher down the stairs..."

Deidara stared at Kakuzu, who frowned. "What? She gave failed us both..."

Deidara smiled. He felt so tired, he needed- wait a minute! His face lit up as soon as he had remembered something. He turned to look at Kakuzu again. "Hey Kakuzu, I need-"

Kakuzu chuckled. "Of course...you got any money?"

Deidara reached into his pocket and pulled out some crumpled up bills. He gave them to Kakuzu. "Wait for me after class..."

Deidara nodded, as Kakashi came in, followed by Sasori.

xxxxxxxxx

"Go on without me, I uh...have to do something, hm," Deidara told Sasori. Sasori looked at him for a few seconds then walked out as the bell rang.

He waited for Kakuzu to come out.

"Come on!" he said as Kakuzu came out.

"Kami-sama, blondie! Wait up!" Kakuzu said. He looked around and then walked over to Deidara, who held out his hand. Kakuzu quickly handed him a bag and Deidara closed his hand and stuffed the bag in his pocket.

"Thanks," Deidara said with a smile.

Kakuzu gave a small chuckle as he walked away.

Deidara reached into his pocket, and into the little bag. He pulled out some pills and stuffed them in his mouth. He walked over to the water fountain and took a gulp of water, swallowin the pills.

Deidara sighed. Today might not be so bad after all...

Well...how was it? Well...I've introduced the rest of the Akatsuki. (With the exception of Zetsu) I felt I needed Kakuzu...and my brother just happens to like Kisame so I threw him in too. And I got a nice, tasty chapter cake. Mmm. Good. R&R plz? Thanks!
