Hey guys... sorry for being incredibly slow. During the break I wasn't in the mood to update and since I've gotten back I started to rewrite my novel 'No Regrets' since I'm making myself finish it by April 8th... I hope to update a tad more often.

I looked at Deidara then I looked at all of the bird bombs around him. "You have got to be kidding me." I said in complete and total shock as he began to hum some 'dramatic moment' song from most thriller movies. He didn't seem to care about my shock all that much and instead focused on yet another bomb. "You're going to kill your best friend?" I demanded making him stop and then glance over at me and shake his head slowly.

"You've been to his house, you know I could never kill him that easily, un. No I'm just bombing his house to piss him off and then he'll get me back later with an automatic or the FBI, yeah. We do this all the time, un." He informed me with a happy voice as though this was exactly what he wanted. Obviously the Akatsuki have some major issues that I can't even begin to imagine. No... I'm stuck here in hell trying to figure out why someone would bomb their best friend's house. "If you want I can make you a bomb too, yeah." He nodded with a distracted voice.

I glanced over at him and before I could stop myself I thought about Ino... and then Naruto. And then I even had the gull to think about Tsunade. Evil laughter escaped my lips as I stood and allowed myself to fully enjoy it as the laughter rolled off of me. I was just too excited at the thought of bombing the entire town of Konoha! Deidara looked over at me and shook his head as though I'm the crazy one which is just ridiculous. I'm not the one building these bombs... I'm just allowing my mind to think of all the possibilities of these bombs rather than just bugging one person, it seems like such a waste.

"I think you're more insane than you give yourself credit for, un." Deidara informed me with a light smirk making me glance over at him and then shake my head quickly taking a step back almost stepping on a little bird.

"No... I'm not. There's no way I am. I'm just a normal college student who's missing her classes like crazy." I said quickly then ran a hand through my hair knowing I'll be stuck redoing most of my classes for this term because I've been absent so much with the Akatsuki. He had a huge grin on his face making me blink in surprise.

"Do you want to be a complete bastard with me and paint them, yeah?" He asked making my eyes widen before I nodded slowly catching on. Running over to a closet, he managed to avoid stepping on any of his bombs, before pulling out a huge case full of different colored paints. "This will make him smile..." Deidara murmured before taking out red and painting the bird next to him. I picked out a couple colors then started to help out as well.

"So you're doing this to make him smile? Or are you just saying that he will?" I asked not for sure which was the answer or if it was even either one. He looked over at me then smiled softly.

"He's been a bit down apparently, since you left, so I'm kind of sending this to him as a present, un. He will have a distraction and know that I care and treasure our memories, yeah." He said and then continued to paint. I stared at him for a while before turning back to the bird. I was stunned, completely and totally stunned, that he would care about his friend this much. It seemed impossible and yet it was true. Deidara just wanted to make his friend feel better.

"You're a good guy, I think I like you." I nodded slowly and then blinked in surprise when he kissed me on the nose. It was simple and quick but it caught me off guard. I fell over onto the ground and on top of a bomb but I made sure that not enough of my weight touched anything enough for it to break.

"Nice save, un! You could have died, and then I would have called you a blast, yeah." He joked making me break out into a cold sweat while hugging my body tightly. I almost lost my life and now the man I'm with is joking about it.

"That's... a horrible joke." I informed him and then punched the man when he got into reach. Deidara fell back and instantly a series of explosions sounded. Running away to the other side of the house we watched all the little birds explode largely but with the flooring being the way it is... there was little damage. "You almost killed me again!" I cried making him pull me into his arms before snickering.

"I lead a very dangerous life, un." He said in a cool serious tone making me raise my hand to hit him but he just wrapped his hand around my wrist. "You remember what happened last time you did that... right, yeah?" The blond asked with a smirk making me cover my eyes.

"You are such an ass." I grumbled before helping him make even more. He'd make the bombs and I'd paint them. When we were done he inspected his work before putting them all in a bag and heading outside. I followed him but then he stopped me with a finger to my lips.

"I have to do this alone." He said softly then went off to go bomb his best friend's house while I just smirked and shook my head at the eccentric blond.
