A/N: Now a new chappie for our 3 amazing reviewers (and 4 follows! And one fave!) Man, you guys just make my day. This is dedictated to you guys.

And i'm really really really sorry that took such a long time. School's a bitch. But thankfully, now the finals are over, so.. Enjoy! ^^


Deidara POV

At the end of the day, after the not-so-calm conversation in art, the oh-so-wonderful suprise from Pain in the cafeteria, a small quarrel with someone named Shino and an after school detention with the english teacher Kakashi for speaking out of turn, I am quite ready to blow up. Or kill someone by blowing him up. That works too. Either of these too.. Or cut someone inte small pieces then cover his body with clay and blow him up. I-...The red room.

I can distantly hear myself panting, an out of body experience of some sort. The urge has returned.. The monster in me has awakend. Shit. Everything becomes.. white.


3 hours later

.. What happend?.. Did I?.. of course I did.

I can feel the blood on my hands.. On my body..on my face. In a way, I could even feel I was grinning. I could feel the bruises on my arms, on my face, the after-effects of an explosion expoding way too close. Maybe I have a head wound also, that would explain the blood falling into my eyes, that I just know is mine. Not that I feel any pain.. But why does it feel so empty? Oh yes..

I killed. Killed again. And what is the problem? I kill all the time, after all. I killed..an innocent. This was just some random man off the street, unfortunate enough to encounter me. A random guy, not on Pain's list. Shit. If he only hears about this.. I'll be in a lot of Pain. Hah, even I can even see the irony. But the thing is, Pain won't know. Nor will anyone else, I'll make sure of that.


Day three, cafeteria.

'Hey Dei!' ..Hidan.

'Hi. Hidan.' I'm gonna try to keep this short. Hope he gets the clue..I'm in no mood for idiotic conversations.

He pointed at the TV on the wall next to us. 'Don't you think it's a bit too fancy to have a tv news board in this run-down school?' Is that guy dumb or something?! Wait, I already know the answer.

'Yeah.. And?' Your point?!.

'Just-' WAIT. Is this?.

*A boy from the local Murama High School dissapeared yesterday.. The boy is believed to have gone missing on the way to home, presumably around St. George street 28. If you have seen him or have any information at all, please call…*

'Yeah, that's from this school, isn't it?..Dei?'

I couldn't help but freeze. I remember that face.. A far away memory.. Shit!. I know him. I killed him. That's the guy from just the night before! So he was from this school. This is way too close! What if someone saw me!? The akatsuki will.. No, the police will will be after me. Who should I worry about first? Shit. Shit. Shi-

'Dei?.'

'Hellooo earth to deidara iw-'

'Just shut up Hidan.'

... 'Ouch. Well this was cold.'


Changing rooms, PE, 14:55

So I guess I have PE with..- 'Hey, Dei! 'Kisame. And why the fuck does everyone call me that?!

'what's with the bruises, man?' ' had a messy kill yesterday?',he sneered.

Shit. He noticed. 'y-yeah.. the guy was strong, and didn't stop struggling until..you know until what.'

He chuckled, 'so from the list pain gave you, who was he?

'...' *gulp* SHIT shit shit shit.. I didn't think of-

'Hm? So who was he?'

'..he wa-'

'-Students! Ten laps 'round the gim! I wanna hear your youthsome pants! One, two, three..'

Phew.. That was way to close! Kisame.. Now I realise just what a big mistake I made. I should've covered my tracks better. And I need to find an alibi. But first- after school i'm gonna need to kill one of Pain's guys. Preferably one that was sick today and didn't go to school, so kisame doesn't catch on with what really happened. What is getting dangerous though, is that I'm killing now 3 days in a row, and someone is going to become suspicious eventually. There's a reason why pain warned us not to kill more than two times in a week. But for now I should.. RUN!


Next day, 19:07.

So I just took care of little Jeremiah Jacobs, quite luckily for me absent on the day, immediatly after school.*sigh* One less thing to worry about. Now I just hope no one finds any clue that'd trace me to the poor little bastard I killed. Now, that would be unfortunate.

But it's time to rest.. home, sweet home, here I co- There was someone standing in front of the crappy old door of my cheap, crappy, old flat. And what do you know, that someone had long, blonde hair. Ah, Ino. My little sis. Probably the only person in the world I don't want to kill. She stays with Father mostly. *mental chuckle* If she didn't, I'd have to answer to some really good questions. So it works the best for me that we don't live together anyway. And Father.. that fuck gave up on me a long time ago. But that's another story.

'DEIDARA!', Ah, she noticed me already. And proceeded to give me the biggest damn hug of my life.

‚What took you so long? I've been standing in front of this damn door for the past 1 hour! I even begain thinking it wasn't yours, and the principal had given me the wrong adress.. Sooo?'

‚..I was just getting some groceries', I awkwardly chuckled.

‚Without the groceries?', she raised an eyebrow. Ooops.

‚There weren' any of the stuff I needed', I said as un-suspiciously as I could.

Clearly not buying it, she sighed. ‚Jeez Deidara, I won't eat you up if you were out with friends out late!' Now that was a much better cover. Should've though of it, but noo, of course I had to get carried away and..

I nodded–‚Anyways.. DO YOU EVEN REALISE HOW SUPRISED I WAS TO SEE YOU AT SCHOOL TODAY? ..DO YOU? Maaan Dei, why didn't you tell me?!, she giggled happily, 'We're finally gonna be in the same school again!'

‚I have soo much to tell you! And just what exactly are you doing with these scary looking guys in the cafetera? They already have some bad reputation.. Talking of reputation, I heard you punched the hell out of Naruto-idiot the other day.. Not that I'm not glad, per say, but-' I was seriously overwhelmed by now. Ah, I guess I've forgotten just how much Ino loves talking. It's been a long time..

‚—and I brought us some dinner!' Lets go inside and eat!' ..shit. Now that's a problem. My floor right now consists of half-done explosives, tape, big bags of clay, some more clay, some more explosives, some wire.. Her seeing that would be a problem.

‚A-aaaah Ino, it's really messy inside.. Like real messy, you get me?' Wow. Is this the best you can think of Deidara? Like, REALLY? Way to go, now she's gonna get real suspicious.

‚Oh?', she appeared quite suprised for a second. Then she gasped. ‚Aaaah..' in an a wierd undrstanding way. Wtf. Well, let her misunderstand.

I grabbed the chinise take-out that was probably quite cold by now, but who cares, I'm still hungry as hell. I vigorously bit into it and-

‚So who is she?', she purred flirtatiously.

I spit out my poor chinese.

‚-WHAT?'

‚Or should I say..he?, she winked pervy-ly. My poor chinese.

‚..What the heck, Ino?', my face by now was flushed bright pink. I caughed. ‚You know I'm not like that..'

She tried to supress her giggling, but ended up bursting into loud laughter. ‚Ah, Deidara, do you even realise how cute you are while embarrased?'

Desperately trying to save some dignity, I ignored that statement.

‚Anyways, this school is full of pretty girls, and boys, I can personally recommend some, so no need to worry.. and also do you have any classes with Asuma-sensei? Man, I swear if-..'


And that's how the night continued on. In front of my door- laughting, sharing, remembering.. It was quite refreshing, really. Made me forget who I really am.
