Later in the evening most of the Akatsuki were feeling better and had finally come out. Konan made her way to Aline's room and knocked on the door, which made no difference really, because even if everyone would knock before entering a room, nobody minded what the reply was and would come in anyhow.

She entered and walked out in a flash. Blushing slightly at what she had just seen. Hasty movements were heard inside the room and she knocked again, slowly.

A now dressed Aline opened the door this time, visible flush on her cheeks. Deidara was now sitting on the rim of the bed, hair still down and slightly messed up.

"Well, didn't you guys have fun!" she said a mocking grin plastered on her face. Aline rolled her eyes and smiled back, pulling her inside.

Konan glared at Deidara as Aline closed back the door. He just looked down, guilt all over his face, he stood up.

"I'll catch you later, h'mm" he said as he approached her and smiled. Aline grabbed his shirt and tugged on it lightly. He turned to face her once more and smiled his signature smile, leaving a second after.

"So much for being just friends" Konan mocked sitting on the black couch.
"Shut the fck up" Aline snapped hitting her with a pillow.
"How was it?"
"Nothing happened"
"Yeah, right"
"No, seriously"
"I find you half naked and yet you say you didn't sleep with him?"
"No, we slept together but we didn't "sleeeeep" together.
"Oh, I see"

Konan rolled her eyes, she wasn't buying a word, and that was starting to annoy Aline.

"Whatever" she snapped diving into the bed.

Deidara made his way to the living room. Konan knew, but she wouldn't tell her, he was sure of it.

"You fcking bastard set me on fire last night!"

He looked up at an enraged Hidan.

"I thought you liked pain, yeah"
"What the fck?! I told you what would fcking happen if you did that again!"

Deidara looked at him and smiled, ready to fight, but it was the look on Hidan's face that made him stop.

"I've noticed the way you look at Aline, do you really want me to tell her!?"
"Oh shit, he knows too" Deidara thought.

A concerned look took over his face. Hidan had gone to the village last time he had gone see her. Had Hidan seen him with her? There was only one way to know, but if he knew, then it meant everyone else knew as well.

"Tell her what?"
"Tell her you've already got someone"

Deidara's heart fell to the ground, he couldn't let this happen. But Hidan wouldn't dare, after all they were men, they had to stick together.

Konan made her way to the living room, where he found Deidara and Hidan, they both dropped dead silent at her sight.

"We need to talk" she said eyeing Deidara.

Hidan smiled at him, knowing what was about to come.

"Do it again, and I won't hesitate on telling her." Hidan said smiling evilly as Deidara followed Konan.

The rest of the week was quite uneventful. Pein had asked Deidara on a mission even though they were still on vacation, but it was impossible for him to turn it down because first of all Pein was the leader, and second; truth be told he needed to get away from the headquarters.

Him leaving didn't make Aline very happy, but there was nothing she could do about it and so now she spent most of her time training, something felt off with Deidara and now that word had gotten around of them spending the night together everyone acted differently. It was as if they were all in on a secret and she didn't know if that was it or if it were the chemicals making her paranoid.

Deidara would be gone for a few days and they would resume missions right after he came back, which meant they wouldn't have much time to spend together anymore. Her fire jutsus had improved significantly and Itachi had taken an especial interest on them, trying to train with her as often as he could which Deidara didn't approve of, but it wasn't as if he could do anything about it seeing as though he was miles away from her.

Today however, she was on a nearby forest on her own and she found herself thinking about Deidara again, wondering if he was fine, hopefully he would, after all he was an exceptional fighter, but mostly wondering if he thought about her as often as she did.
