Chapter 1: Normal Day

~Twelve Years Later~

"AKASUNA!"

Sasori hid the smirk he so badly wanted to wear as he turned to look at a certain pain in his ass. The boy was now in a very fitting get up due to his appearance. A very sexy (though Sasori would never say it out loud) angel's outfit. In fact, it was a girl outfit; tight, high cut top with a small pair of angel wings attached to the back, short mini-skirt, high-heels, topped with the halo in his hair. He had also let Deidara's blonde locks out of the usual half-pony tail to frame his face, which seemed to make his sapphire blue eyes stand out even more. Sasori actually thought it complimented the blonde well (Again, never admitting it) and showed off a lot of his sexy body. That and it pissed Deidara the fuck off so it served its purpose.

He had asked Kakuzu and Kisame to help him out, since Pein had been busy distracting Konan. Kakuzu had to keep Hidan occupied, and so he started an argument with the albino. That could last for a while. Kisame then found Itachi and dragged the weasel to the library, his favorite place to be.

Truth be told, the only ones that actually got along were Pein and Konan, considering that Pein had a huge crush on the blunette. Sasori was pretty sure that Kisame was getting glared at by Itachi and that Kakuzu was wishing he had never agreed to any of this.

After separating the group, Sasori promptly went up to Deidara and smashed a book into his skull, knocking the blonde out cold. He then took him to the locker room and changed him into that get up.

"Is something wrong Katsu?" he asked with false innocence. He heard some of the more idiotic jocks whistle at the blonde and felt just a pang of annoyance. Some of the girls giggled at the sight of the blonde, making Sasori calm himself again.

With pure rage in his sapphire eyes, Deidara smirked, "You do realize that I'm gonna get you back right? It should be quite obvious un. And I already have it planned out." Sasori scoffed at the threat, "I don't think you have something that's better than that outfit blondie. Then again, you always try so…" he let a grin spread across his face, "Do your worst."

Mischief sparkled in Deidara's eyes, "Oh, I will Akasuna. You can count on it." He growled as he turned and stormed off to change.

Sasori turned back to his locker with a satisfied smirk. "I see that it went as planned?" he heard Kakuzu ask. Grabbing his Pre-Calculus book, Sasori laughed, "You know it. Katsu was pretty pissed off. My life is complete for the day." He turned to the brunette and saw that he had a black eye. "Geeze, What did you say to him? He doesn't usually touch your face." The red head asked as he shut his locker.

"Eh, I said something against his great Lord Jashin and he punched me." Replied Kakuzu with a shrug. Kisame walked over with a chuckle, "Yeah? You should know not to talk 'bout Hidan's god by now Kakuzu. And Sasori, why don't you just admit it?" Sasori raised a brow at his blue haired friend, "Admit what?" he asked simply. Kisame chuckled again, "Admit that you've just had a crush on Deidara since he moved in."

The usual response, Sasori made a horrified face at Kisame, "LIKE HELL! THAT DAMN BLONDE HAS DONE NOTHING BUT MAKE MY LIFE HELL SINCE HE GOT HERE TWELVE YEARS AGO!" Letting out a loud laugh, Kisame held up his hands in surrender, "All right, all right, calm down Sasori. I'm just saying that it's obvious. At least…to everyone but you. Anyway, did you ever stop to consider that this whole war was started by-" Kisame stopped abruptly at the glare he was receiving from Sasori. Yeah…best not to enrage him. "Well, I'm heading to class. Later." Said Sasori as he walked off…

~In the Locker Room~

Hidan and Itachi sighed, "Sorry…" they said simultaneously. They had known Sasori was up to something, yet they had gotten too distracted by their own pains to notice when his plan had been set into play. Deidara glowered at the two as he pulled the halo from his hair. It didn't really bother him actually. He was used to this type of game. Sasori was always looking for ways to piss him off; it was part of his daily routine.

What bothered him was that the jocks had been flirting with him as he made his way back to the locker room. As he had met up with Hidan and Itachi, they automatically saw the promise of death in their friend's eyes. They had threatened the jocks and followed the blonde into the locker room, locking the door with a lock that Hidan always seemed to carry around.

Deidara pulled off the shirt and sighed, "Dumbass bastards un. Toki ni karera ga manabu nodarou ka?" he asked. (When will they learn?) Hidan scoffed, "Those idiots?" Itachi sighed, "If they're like Hidan, as I believe them to be, they will never learn." "OI! I'm nothing like those arrogant heathens!" Deidara laughed, knowing that Itachi had only said that to brighten his mood. Hidan could be a bit arrogant, but nothing like the jocks.

"So Dei," The blonde pulled his boxers on and turned to Hidan, "what's the plan?" asked the albino…

~The last bell rings~

Deidara was putting his books back in his locker before heading home. He had done his homework in class so he wouldn't have anything to do this afternoon. "Hmm…guess I'll head over to Konan's house while mom's at work…" he thought aloud as he grabbed his bag and slung it over his shoulder. Just as he shut his locker-

"KATSU!"

Deidara smirked for a second before he put on is innocent face and turned to the owner of the familiar voice. "Yes Akasuna un?" he said in a cheery voice before pretending to be in complete shock, "What happened to your clothes?"

There were chuckles and giggles heard throughout the hall as Sasori made his way to the blonde with a scowl on his face…dressed in nothing but a towel.

Yup.

Deidara had taken Sasori's clothes while he was in the showers…he had also drown them in the dumpster. Not that he was going to tell Sasori that.

With a giggle, Deidara looked Sasori in the eye as the red head stopped before him. Deidara had to admit, Sasori had a nice body. He had pale skin, but not too pale. He had muscles, but it wasn't so much that it was disgusting. And then there was that tattoo he had of a scorpion on his shoulder. All in all…Deidara had to admit (to himself) that Sasori was pretty damn sexy.

"Where are my clothes Katsu?" he asked, bringing Deidara out of his thoughts. With his usual innocence, Deidara shrugged, "Whatever do you mean Akasuna?" he asked, eyes sparkling mischievously. Sasori's scowl deepened, "You know exactly what I mean Katsu. You were mad that I put you in a dress, so you took my clothes. Where are they?" Deidara shrugged once more as he turned, "I honestly don't know Akasuna. See you tomorrow un!"

And with that, Deidara walked off.

Sasori waited until he was sure Deidara was gone before turning and heading to his locker. He let a smirk grace his features as he reached it and opened it up. "Nice move Katsu. Nice move." He pulled out a change of clothes that he usually kept in his locker. He never knew when Deidara would pull something like this, and he knew Deidara probably got rid of his clothes as payback for Sasori doing the same that morning. Thinking back, Deidara had always been a worthy adversary. Twelve years and the blonde had yet to have given up. If anything, the two had been going at it for so long that Sasori knew every little thing about the blonde.

Hey, you had to study your enemy right?

With a sigh, he thought some more.

No matter what happened, Sasori just couldn't get angry at Deidara anymore. If anything…no…he would never say that. No way. He was NOT attracted to that blonde. There was no way he could be. That blonde worked to make his life a hell! He should HATE him…

And yet…he didn't. Sasori sighed once again as he finished tying his sneakers and headed home…

~At Deidara's house~

"I'm home!" Deidara called out as he entered his home. He went straight to the kitchen as he usually did, finding his mother pulling a fresh batch of cookies from the oven. "Hello Dei." She greeted in her usual sweet voice. Deidara's smile grew, "Yum! Those smell great un!"

Ai smiled but, as Deidara was going to grab one, pulled them away. "You only get two. These are for Eien." She said sternly before holding the plate out to him once more. Deidara grabbed two cookies and asked, "Ah, so you don't have to work tonight un?" "No, but Eien is coming to take me to dinner-"

"Correction. Eien has come to take you to dinner and a movie."

Deidara and Ai turned to the door to see Eien through the glass. "Open the door Dei?" Deidara nodded in response to his mother's question and went to the door. Opening it, he smiled at his mother's boyfriend. "Hello Deidara." "Hey Eien! What's up un?"

Eien was a few inches taller than Deidara, with messy raven hair that fell over his grayish eyes. His skin was a bit pale, though it didn't look sickly. As usual, Eien was in very classy attire; a black dress shirt and black pants (both of which Deidara suspected were made of silk) and a nice pair of expensive shoes.

The first time Deidara had seen Eien, he was very wary of the man. After all, Ai had been out with plenty of men before, and they had ALL ended with Deidara running the guy out of the house with one of the kitchen knives.

He had thought that Eien was no different.

He had been very wrong.

Eien treated his mother like a queen, bringing her chocolates and flowers. He had also bought her a very beautiful necklace, silver with two sapphires in it. "They go with your eyes." He had said.

Eien was also very, VERY punctual when it came to…EVERYTHING. "I don't like to wait, or to keep others waiting." He had said when Deidara had asked once. Eien took his mother to classy places, not fast food restaurants like one of her previous boyfriends. Plus, Eien and Deidara got along very well.

"Nothing much Deidara." Replied the raven haired man. "Right on time, as usual." Said Ai as she kissed him on the cheek. Eien smiled, "Good. I was worried that I was running late." "When are you ever late?" asked Deidara with a smirk. Eien laughed, "Touché Deidara. For a six-teen year-old, you are a smart-ass." Deidara laughed back as Ai gave Eien a container of chocolate chip cookies, "Here. I made these for you." With a smile, Eien took the container, "They smell delicious. Thank you." Ai smiled, "Let me get my purse and we'll be on our way." She said as she left the room.

Turning to Deidara, Eien opened the container and held it out to him, "I know you want another one." He said with a smirk. Deidara chuckled, "Thanks." He replied as he took a cookie. Eien took one for himself before closing the container as Ai stepped back into the room.

"All right, I'm all set. You headed to Konan's house Dei?" she asked her son. "Yeah. Might as well, I did my homework already un." Ai nodded and kissed his forehead, "All right. Be home by ten ok?" "Yes mom. Have fun! You take care of her Eien!" Eien chuckled, "I will Deidara. Have fun."

And the two left…

~Sasori~

Noticing that none of the lights were on, Sasori pulled his keys out and headed into his house. "Dad?" he called out, more out of habit than anything. He knew his father was most likely out on a date with his girlfriend. Wandering into the kitchen for a snack, Sasori noticed a piece of paper on the fridge.

Sasori;

Went to dinner and a movie. Be home by eleven.

Dad.

Sasori sighed, "It's a good thing I was headed to Kisame's anyway." He muttered to himself before grabbing a soda from the fridge.

Letting his mind wander, Sasori thought of his father's girlfriend. They had been going out for about a month now…when was he going to introduce her? "Ah whatever. I should head to Kisame's house then. Nothing much to do here." And with that, he left the house once more…

(A/n) And done! Heh, I had fun thinking of this!

Dei: I bet you did…putting me in a girl outfit…

Saso: hey, YOU got to keep your clothes on…

Dei: *sweat drop*

Heheheh. Well, R&R! Flames to be used to bake cookies!
