Deidara was staring at his baby doll, not knowing what to do.
"So what in the world am I supposed to do with this baby?" he asked out loud as he turned to see Mitsu burping the baby and helping out some people who had a hard time figuring out what to do. "You got to be kidding me. That's it? Well, this will be easy" he said as he then tried to burp the baby doll it then puked on his shoulder, "Wha…." He said, trying to not get mad as he heard a giggle.
"Do you need help?" asked Mitsu as Deidara turned to see her standing next to him.
"Uh…." He said with a quick blush. "Do I look like I need help?"
"You sure do, you got the doll's puke all over you," she said smiling. "It's okay not many people know how to handle babies."
"Is that even possible to have a doll that pukes?" asked Deidara who tried to change the subject of him being covered by puke.
"Well, nowadays they have dolls that go to the bathroom," she explained. "So why not?"
"Oh," said Deidara as Mitsu walked to the tissues and grabbed one from the teacher's desk.
"May I have one?" she asked the teacher who turned to her while instructing others what to do.
"You don't need to ask," said Keizo sensei. "Take one." Mitsu grabbed the tissue.
"Sorry, it's my habit to ask," she said as she walked toward Deidara who stood there holding his puking baby.
Deidara was charmed by how polite Mitsu was as she gave him the tissue.
"You might want to go and clean yourself first, here I'll carry the doll," she grabbed the doll.
"Thanks," Deidara said as he then asked to go to the bathroom to the teacher.
Mrs. Haru was starting a lesson related to literature. It was about a play called the Tsuchikage's child: it was about the Tsuchikage's daughter who is in love with a rogue ninja.
"All right, children, please turn to ACT I scene 1 on page 2" said Mrs Haru as Sasori and the other ninth graders turned their pages. "We shall read this play in class at least at the first ACT then I will assign you to go home and read the rest then tomorrow I shall assign parts to people who will perform the play," as Sasori whispered to Emiko.
"How is this related to ninja stuff?" he asked.
"It's to teach us how to act, you got to be a good actor in order to trick enemies if necessary," she answered as Mrs Haru looked at Emiko.
"Emiko, please read the first paragraph," said Mrs. Haru.
"Okay, long ago there was a girl born and raised in the palace of the Tsuchikage, her father….." Emiko read out loud as Sasori looked at her smiling, a soft smile for he thought her voice was beautiful while reading the story he was then reminded of how his parents used to read with their soft voices. His memory line was interrupted when Mrs. Haru said:
"Sasori, please read the line," she said. He then quickly grabbed his book then asked "what page?" he asked.
"Sasori, dear, were you paying any attention?" Mrs. Haru asked.
"Um…not really ma'am," he blushed as some kids laughed. Emiko looked concerned.
"Okay, it's page three, please, Sasori pay attention," said Mrs. Haru.
As Sasori began to read he then looked at Emiko who was looking at him. She had long hair up to her elbows, it was dark blackish blue and her eyes were dark brown. She wore a pink shirt that was elbow length and white shorts with white stockings underneath. He then quickly looked back at his book.
"Oh, Lord Tsuchikage, I have a message from the Hokage that rogue ninjas are out to steal the chakra scroll and they need help from your elite squad," read Sasori being a guard.
As Mrs. Haru smiled, "That was good, Sasori, you can be an actor. All right, Kiki, you read," she let other people to read.
Deidara went back to class, seeing Mitsu waiting for him. "Sorry, I was late," he said to her.
"It's okay, well, here's your doll," said Mitsu.
"Thanks," said Deidara, grabbing it. "So are you going to show me how to burp it?"
"Yeah, just hold the baby against your shoulder and pat lightly on the back," she smiled demonstrating with her own baby doll.
"Oh, okay thanks again," said Deidara smiling.
"No problem," said Mitsu. "Well see you later," she said walking away.
As class was then over, Deidara and Sasori went to their other classes and then headed home to their Akatsuki cave. Everyone, except Itachi, was not there was on their assigned positions. Pain spoke
"So how did the first day of school go?" he asked to Deidara and Sasori.
Sasori ignored Pain and was reading the rest of his play and Deidara was nail filing his nails then Kisame spoke up.
"They are ignoring you," he teased as Pain got mad.
"I know that, Sasori, Deidara!" he yelled as both of them jumped.
"Yes?" asked Deidara.
"Did you have a good day at school?" asked Pain.
"Why, yes, I had the most wonderful time," smiled Deidara who subconsciously put his nail filer away and grabbed a bit of his clay and made a butterfly which then exploded.
"How is that?" asked Kisame.
"I met a special someone," sighed Deidara. "Perhaps she is the one."
"You mean the future Akatsuki member?" asked Kisame
As Sasori closed his book, "I think he means something else" he explained.
"…" Pain was quiet, "You didn't find the member?"
"Not yet, but I think I found my lady," said Deidara flipping his hair.
"We'll still keep looking," said Sasori quickly. "I'm sure we'll find him or her for now. I have homework," as he got up from his sitting pose and disappeared.
"Good," said Pain. "You do that," then Konan spoke up.
"Perhaps this girl knows the future member," suggested Konan looking at Pain.
"You're right, we cannot leave any stones unturn, Deidara! I want you to get close to this girl," said Pain. "Find out more about her."
As Deidara quickly snapped out of his dream state, "You mean like a date?" he laughed nervously.
"Uh….something like that but not emotionally attached to the girl, we just need info if she knows the future member," said Pain. "I mean we don't want her to know our true objectives."
"Right," said Deidara. "I'll see what I can do," he said disappearing as Itachi came.
"Sir, do you think Deidara is not already attached to this girl?" asked Itachi.
"Don't worry; I have a plan to prevent that. I know that teenager have these feelings but it will only last for a while especially if there's an obstacle in their way," said Pain.
"So what do you want us to do?" asked Konan.
"Go to the school, all three of you, Konan, Itachi and Kisame, two of you will be students while one of you be the teacher. I want you to keep an eye on Deidara," said Pain.
"What about Sasori? Isn't he going to be keeping an eye on Deidara?" asked Kisame.
"Well, he's in a different class and a different grade. We'll just keep him to watch the date personally for us," said Pain.
In the Morning, Deidara and Sasori were back at their school and starting off at the same first periods they had yesterday. Deidara who had gone to the Healing Center class was waiting for Mitsu to show up.
As Keizo senpei came and stood next to Deidara. "So you are early this time" said Keizo senpei. "What's the reason and why are you waiting?"
"I'm waiting for a friend," replied Deidara. "She's kind of late," he looked around.
"And does this friend happened to be the one who helped you yesterday?" asked Keizo senpei.
"Yes?" said Deidara.
"Okay then," said Keizo senpei. He better pay attention in my class he thought.
As Mitsu came, opening the door panting, "I'm sorry, I am late," said Mitsu.
"Its okay, class didn't start yet, please sit down," said Keizo senpei as Mitsu was about to sit down on her chair Deidara then tapped on her shoulder.
"Mitsu, I have something to ask you," said Deidara.
"What is it?" she looked back at him.
"Would you uh…." He blushed. "Would you wanna get something to eat later?"
"Uh…I guess so," said Mitsu. "What time?"
"At lunch," said Deidara as Keizo got a little irritated at the class who were a bunch of kids that were standing.
"Class, sit down!" he yelled.
Deidara and Mitsu sat down with the rest of the class.
