Chapter Three: Crazy Family

I ditched most of my classes, save math. I saw Yoake sitting on a desk as soon as I walked in.

"Hey, Sasori. Can you come here? I've got a question for ya." She motioned to me.

"What's up, Yoake?"

She paused before saying anything, "Dei didn't hurt you or anything did he?"

"Of coarse not. Other than the opening punch, but you probably mean other than that. Anyway why would he?"

"He tends to hurt every other guy I'm ever close to. Now I wonder why he didn't do anything to you." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh thanks now I feel like your brother is going to kill me."

"Don't worry, if he didn't kill you or leave you in the street last night then I'd say you're safe. Er, for now at least. You'll have to actually really piss him off before he'll do anything drastic."

"Thanks for the warning, I think."

Deidara and I sat on the canvas like material laid out for the banner. Two small objects were thrown into my face, one hurting a lot more and the other leaving a small black mark.

"Set down the lines, un. Preferably using the charcoal, un. Marks much better, un."

"Then why'd you throw the graphite one?"

"Because it actually hurts to get hit with one of them, un." I frowned. Yoake returned right after this. After a few minutes of sketching in silence Yoake said something.

"So, Sasori, uh, how do you like Konoha so far?"

"Okay I suppose. Other than the fact that I know hardly anyone."

"It's like that for everyone the first time they move, un. You get used to it after a while, un." I found myself puzzled by this.

"So you're not from Konaha?"

"Isn't that what I just said, un? Dumb ass." Yoake glared at her brother.

"We're from Iwagakure originally. Then we moved around a bunch. But I guess you're straight from Sunagakure right?" Wait what? I definitely didn't tell them that.

"When the hell did I tell you where I was from?"

"Shut up and stop yelling you stupid fuck, un! You really should understand that real red heads only come outta Suna, un."

"I suppose you're not as dumb as you look blondie," I said impulsively.

"What did you just say, un?"

"You heard me. Or can that excuse for a brain not comprehend what that means?" He stood up.

"Outside, now, un," he growled. I followed him, as Yoake shook her head sadly. Deidara looked back once before slamming me into a wall of the building. "You better watch your mouth you stupid fuck, un."

"If you weren't such an asshole this wouldn't be a problem now would it?" Deidara tried to punch me but I caught his fist easily. He tried again only for the same thing to happen. I kept a firm grasp on his fists. Deidara struggled.

"You should know that you can't judge strength by size. In some cases being small is actually an advantage." Every time I took a step forward, Dei took a step back. Then he tripped over a tree root, smacking that pretty blond head of his off a tree. "You're quite pathetic, Deidara." He lunged again, catching me off guard this time and tackling me easily. He had me pinned to the ground underneath him.

"And actually having weight has its advantages, un." I swiped my leg underneath his and quickly reversed the situation. His face was in the dirt and I was sitting on the blond's back.

I roughly yanked his head up by the hair and bent down next to his face. The expression on his face was sure something. Some strange mixture of anger, embarrassment, pain, and if I'm correct some kind of blushing reaction from having someone so close to his face.

"Watch who you pick your fights with brat." I whispered calmly.

"I will beat you next time, un." I laughed cruelly. For some reason his pain was becoming quite fun for me. I let go of the blond locks and moved off of him. He quickly moved to a sitting position. Dei tried to avoid my eyes until I tapped his chin up. Another priceless expression.

"Oh will you now? I'm counting on it then." I paused lightly before standing up. "C'mon. Your sister's waiting for us, brat."

"Un." He grunted.

Yoake looked surprised as both of us re-entered.

"I'm surprised both of you actually came back." Yoake stated blandly. "Either way I would drag either of your asses back here. No one is getting outta this project."

"Are you really convinced that you can catch me, un?"

"Not on foot of course. But your destination is pretty well known since it's either home or Kisame's and occasionally Itachi's. And if either of them hides you I'll kick their asses."

"Heh. What about me then? I'm positive you don't know where I live" If she knows where I live I'm calling the police.

"Nope, but Dei does," Damn I forgot that the psychopath drove me home. "and other than that I know that it's on the other side of town from us."

"So?"

"I walk in that direction until I see your hair."

"Or in the failure of that she'll make me run home and bring the car here, un. Then of coarse hunt you down, un." Yoake punched her brother jokingly.

"Well I wouldn't word it quite like that but, exactly!" What a crazy family.

"I really have nothing to say to that. Except that you're insane of course." Yoake shrugged.

"I've heard it before, I'll hear it again. Oh that reminds me, have you met any of the other members of Akatsuki yet?" I shook my head.

"Only you guys, Pein, and Konan."

"Then you don't mind coming to a party Friday night?" Normally I would say no, but I suppose...

"Where, when, and who?"

"Our house, un. You can just come home with us if you don't mind helping set some shit out, un. And it's Akatsuki members only, un."

I shrugged. "Why the hell not. I'll go."

"Yay! Thanks Sasori!" This is going to suck isn't it?

I walked through the kitchen.

"Sasori! You're late getting home again! What are you doing at that school until dark?

"Shut up already. It'll probably be like this for a few weeks. Any more questions?"

"Yes. Are you getting into fights again?"

"Hn?" She pointed to a scrape on my face.

"Oh. No that was nothing. G'night."
