Chapter 7

~~~~Timeskip~~~~5~weeks~later~~~~

Deidara's POV

Over the past few weeks things with the Akatsuki gang improved while things with Haki didn't, not that I cared any. Haki didn't ask much about my life and I didn't ask much about his. We fought when we did talk and if we didn't fight we were talking about art and even that normally ended up in a fight.

I really didn't care much about Haki's approval but I did care much about Sasori's approval though. I wasn't sure why but I was thinking about my red headed teacher more and more often. He acted like a bastard most of the time but he had his times when he was sweet. He even gave me a room at his home so that I could work on my art.

Anyways I had been at the school now for about 5 weeks and I had got all my work caught up. At school I would always hang out with Hidan, Itachi and Tobi. Normally Daren and Dylan would also come and join us. Once Hidan had told Sasori he was going to bring the twins over to his house and Sasori just shook his head about it, clearly he thought that Hidan was kidding. I sort of did too.

"Ah fuck!" Hidan said as he came up to me. It was 10 minutes til the end of the school day and the teachers gave us the 10 minutes at the end of the day to gather our stuff up. We could do what we wanted as long as we stayed on school grounds.

"What, un?" I ask as Itachi comes up behind Hidan and sits down next to me. I never had any brothers but when these two were around it seemed like I has them.

"You haven't heard?" Two identical voices spoke from the tree and I looked up as the twins jumped out of the branch.

"Heard what, un?"

"Next week is parent/teacher conferences." Itachi explains. I froze.

"What, un?" I was hoping I heard wrong, I didn't.

"Parent/teacher conferences you idiot. I am going to sacrifice all the Jashin-damned teachers."

"Joy, un." I said. To tell the truth I didn't even know if Haki was interested in my grades at all. "Do we have to go, un?" I ask. I was hoping that it was like my last school where we didn't have to go to the conferences, unless we had really bad grades. I never had those, well really bad in my book is an F. I have had D's before.

"Sorry Dei. You fucking have to." Hidan said. "I just can't wait to tell Kakuzu to drag his hot stitched ass here." I raised an eyebrow.

"I knew that he had stitches but your kidding about on his ass right, un?" Hidan smirked.

"You want to know something? He has those damned stitches everywhere. When I say everywhere I mean fucking everywhere."

"Ah! Bad images, un."

"Hahaha! Take that you god damn blonde!"

"Hidan, why do you act like a child?" Itachi asks.

"I don't act like a child dammit!"

"Sure you don't." Daren says.

"By the way Hidan your showing us where the place is sense we have no clue where it's at." Dylan said. I gave them an odd look.

"What do you mean, un?" I ask.

"Hidan actually invited them over to Sasori's tonight." Itachi said. Tobi was gone today because he went with Zetsu out to look for plants. They said that they would be gone all day.

"Okay, un." I say.

"Hey Deidara?" Dylan says.

"Hm?"

"Who is going to go to conferences with you?" Daren asks.

"I have no clue. I am pretty sure that Haki will but he doesn't seem like the type to do that, un." I shrug. "You?"

"It sucks to be Dean." Daren smirks.

"But you have to be sorry for him though, after all he has to take care of his own conferences and both of ours." Dylan said.

"What do you mean by that, un? Doesn't your parents go to the conferences?"

"Our dad wouldn't go if we asked him and our mother is in the hospital." Dylan explained.

"Oh, un." I say, feeling slightly guilty. "Sorry."

"No need to be. We're just fine." Daren says with a smile.

"Come on. We should be going now." Itachi states as the bell rings.

I, along with the others, nodded and stood up, apart from Daren and Dylan who were already standing. We started walking down the path that I now knew by heart. I can't believe that everyday it's like I walk down this path. Even when I don't have to I go to Sasori's to work on art.

"Hey Daren, Dylan, un?" I ask.

"Yeah?" They both answer. It's creepy when they do that, even if I am used to it.

"Does your brother know that your coming with us, un?"

"Yes." Daren answers.

"We talked with him at lunch and he said that it was okay sense he was going over to Inara's tonight anyways." Dylan said. "After the conferences he is going to go down to Florida with Inara. They have a friend that is working down there right now."

"Also I heard it is wonderful this time of season." Daren added teasingly but, me being the blonde I am didn't understand.

"What do you mean, un? It is always raining this time of year."

"Precisely." The twins said and winked at me. I was starting to get it when Hidan said bluntly.

"They mean that it's wonderful weather to stay inside and fuck."

"Thank you Hidan, un." I say sarcastically as we stop in front of Sasori's house.

"Your fucking welcome." Hidan said as he opened the door and just walked in.

"Welcome all!" A booming voice said. I knew it was Kisame even before I saw the shark like man, he was the only one of them with that loud of a voice.

"Hello, un." I greet.

"Hey you fucker!" Hidan said as he herded the twins into the living room.

I watched as Itachi scooted closer to Kisame inch by inch until the shark man had enough and grabbed his waist and pulled him closer. That's another thing that I had learned. Itachi, the hard soul he was, loved showing affection, especially to his lover but he wasn't good at doing it and when he was in the mood he normally needed Kisame to help him go faster with it. I walked into the living room with Kisame and Itachi behind.

What I saw made me laugh. Almost everyone in the room, which was Kakuzu, Pein, Sasori, Konan, Hidan, were laughing. Pein looked embarrassed and looked like he didn't want to know Konan. It had probably had something to do with the fact that Konan was fawning over the twins and they looked uncomfortable. Hidan was leaning on Kakuzu trying to regain his balance.

"Oh how cute you both are." Konan was cooing at Daren and Dylan.

"Look Mrs.-" Dylan started.

"Call me Konan, cutey."

"Okay Konan then you can call me Dylan and you can call him," Dylan pointed at his brother. ", Daren."

"Alright but you both are still adorable." With that everyone burst out laughing, even Itachi broke out into a fit of giggles. Sasori was turning red from lack of oxygen and Kakuzu and Kisame were clutching at there sides while Hidan was rolling on the ground laughing his ass off. I was laughing so hard that I almost joined him on the floor.

After we had all recovered from our laughing fits, Dylan and Daren kept on glaring at us until we stopped, we were all either sitting on the couches or on the chairs. Hidan and Kakuzu were sitting in a chair with Hidan in the older mans' lap while Kisame and Itachi sat on the couch next to Konan and Pein and I sat on the other couch where as Zetsu sat in the other chair and Tobi sat on the floor.

We were all laughing and having a good time, especially when the twins decided to sit by Sasori and myself. It was all just fine though things with Konan looked off. She was in the conversation but her eyes said that she was distracted. I wonder what she was is thinking about. No sooner than I thought that Konan looked straight at Daren and Dylan and she said.

"You know that the both of you would make a cute couple." At that everything in the room fell silent. You could even here a fly breathe. Everybody was looking at either Konan or the twins, waiting for their reactions. Dylan face palmed while Daren did the same and sighed.

"So we've been told." Everything stayed silent for a few more minutes and then everybody just broke out into laughter.

Hidan had fallen off Kakuzu's lap and was banging his fist against the floor while Itachi was also on the floor, laughing hysterically. Kakuzu was clutching his side and Zetsu was laughing so much it hurt. Kisame was laughing so hard that he was starting to turn purple from lach of oxygen. Sasori was practically suffocating himself as he tried to hide his laughter. Tobi looked confused but laughed anyway. I was leaning on Sasori in order to stop myself from falling onto the floor. Pein was laughing but not as much as the others, though he did look embarrassed because of what Konan said.

I swear the neighbors could hear us and think that we were completely nuts. Then again if they knew these people at all they would understand. The neighbors probably thought that there were insane people here but then again they are probably right.

"Enough with the laughing." Daren said with a frown.

"You have been told that before, un?" I said, my voice still full of laughter. The twins frowned and everyone started calming down.

"Unfortunently, yes." Dylan says. "I don't get it." He adds with a shake of his head.

"Neither do I. We are brothers, not lovers, brothers and every girl says that we would make the perfect couple. The girls obsessed with the both of us anyways." Daren spoke up.

"So are you guys going to give each other a kiss or what?" Konan asked.

"I think we'll go with or what." The twins said in unison. Sasori looked at Konan.

"Either your son is going to be gay or your daughter is going to be as yaoi messed up as you." He stated bluntly. I don't know how but that got everyone laughing again.

"Hey! Uncle Haki! I'm home, un!" I call as I walk through the door.

"Good to know." I look to the side to see Haki leaning against the wall. "Now go put your stuff up-stairs then come back down. We need to talk." With that he turned and went into the living room, not waiting to see if I would do as he asked. I walked up the stairs and into my room, worry prickling through my body the whole time. Did he find out about my visits to Sasori's everyday after school? He couldn't have, could he?

Don't be silly. Of course he didn't find out you have kept the secret from him and kept it well. I told myself. I got over the fact that I needed to keep my visits to Sasori's a secret but I just didn't understand why. I get it that they obviously don't like each other, but why don't they like each other? That's what I want to know.

"Deidara!" A voice yelled from down stairs. Oops, I forgot that I was supposed to go right back down the stairs after I put my stuff away. What did Haki want to talk about? It better not be anything bad. The worry that I felt came back, stronger than it was just a few moments ago. If he did find out about Sasori teaching me, how much trouble would I be in? Oh well. What happens, happens. I pushed the worry out of my mind and ran down the stairs.

It wasn't graceful but I didn't trip on anything. I normally tend to do that on a daily basis, but it's normally someone instead of something and that someone is normally another blonde by that name of Dylan.

I ran into the living room were I knew that Haki was. I was right. He was sitting in his recliner and so I sat in the chair across from his.

"What, un?" I ask. I saw him grit his teeth as he met my eyes. I felt myself smirk at this. I had always had that habit and I bet I always would have it, so if he didn't like it, to bad.

"About next Wednesday. We need to think about what we are going to do." Haki said.

"What's happening on Wednesday, un?"

"On Wednesday is parent/teacher conferences." He tells me.

"Oh, un." Of course I knew that parent/teacher conferences were next week, it's just, I didn't know what day it was.

"The point in this is that your parent or guardian is supposed to go in. They have to, weather they want to or not."

"So, un." I mutter. The truth is, I knew he didn't want to go and I didn't want to go either.

"So somebody has to go with you or else I will be getting in trouble for it. I don't want to go and you know that, also, even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to because I already made plans for that night. I need to know if you know anybody that can take you." I really didn't know why he was talking to me about this, I mean he only ever talks to me if it is to yell at me or if it is something that benefits himself.

"Not really, un, and besides the guardian or parent has to go with me." I say.

"Damn it!" Haki cusses in irritation. "Who should I ask to go with you then?" He thinks out loud. I growled in irritation inside my mind. He would probably choose somebody that he worked with. I fucking hate the people that he works with.

"I don't know, un." Was all I said. I would have argued with him about it, but I wasn't in the mood for a fight tonight. I watched as a sort of evil smirk formed it's way onto his face.

"I know the perfect person for this job." He said. "I just need to get a hold of him. Tomorrow I will meet up with him and your coming too."

"Me? Why me, un?"

"Because I think it is good for you to at least meet the person who will be taking you to that conference." Haki states. "And what I say goes." He said it in a tone of voice that was, commanding. I didn't like it but I couldn't find the strength to fight back, not now, not tonight. I ask nervously.

"How do you know that he will meet you, un?"

"I have my ways of getting what I want." Was all he said. The way he said it sent shivers down my spine. He said it so calmly but I could feel, imagine venom running off of his words.

I know it is wrong but I know that he isn't a good person. I know I shouldn't but I hate him. He is my uncle and I hate him. How can you hate a family member? I didn't know that answer but it sounded like a simple question but with no answer I was confused. I know that I should just go upstairs but I felt too frozen to do so.

I know that it is wrong, that I shouldn't be, but I am scared of my dear old uncle.

I looked at my uncle one last time before my body finally aloud me to move. Once I got up I hurried up the stairs to think about what horrible person would be taking him to parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday.

Haki's POV

I smirked again as I watched my no-good nephew hurry up to his room. It really didn't bother me that he wasn't home that much after school, I rather enjoy it. The only problem was that he kept saying that he was hanging out with his friends. I remember when I was his age and I would always say that. It was never the truth.

Okay part of it was the truth. I would hang out with my friends but we would always do things that we weren't supposed to do. Not only that, I didn't like Deidara and I also had a feeling that he was hiding something from me.

Oh well. I thought. There is a time for worrying about what he is doing for another day, if I even feel like dealing with it. To tell the truth I probably would never feel like it. Well now it's time to talk with an old friend.

I smirked even bigger and went over to the phone. I picked it up and dialed a number that I knew by heart. I hoped that he still had the same number, after all, I didn't feel like looking it up in the phone book. After the first ring the phone was answered by the person that I wanted to speak to.

"What do you want, Haki?" His voice held venom in it. I had to admit, I liked it that way.

"Hello Sasori." I said simply.

Well I have to say that all authors have chapters that aren't as good as the others in the stories. This chapter is the worst one that I have written and I am sorry for that long ranting that I did in the last chapters' authors note.

I think that this chapter is so bad because I did most of it during school. XD

They say that school is supposed to help you learn but it actually fries your brain XD

Til next time...which will hopefully be soon so I have no clue why I said 'til next time' but it sounded right so yeah...

Also do any of you get were I am going with the twins? If you do then great job!

Yes I know another cliffy so Shoot me.

Ha! You would never do that because I am the only one that knows the ending of the story and if you shot me I wouldn't be able to write very well. Unless you shot me in the leg that is...never mind, just don't shoot me.

Also Haki won't have that many POV moments in the story.
