Chapter 1

"Get up!" Someone shouted, waking me up. "Deidara! Get up now!" Shouted the voice I now recognised to be Sassori's.

I groaned before getting up, deciding not to test the patience Sassori was known not to have. "I'm getting up now, yeah." I told him so he wouldn't do anything to me.

"Late night?" He asked sarcastically, knowing full well what had happened. I threw a pillow at him. He dogged it with ease and chuckled before walking away to complete whatever duty awaited him.

I showered to get rid of some of last night's remaining evidence, although when I looked in the small mirror there was still a red mark on my neck. A hickey. I wondered when he had done that.

I narrowed it down to either before or after the sex, while I had dried my hair. I then picked out clothes which would hide the hickey effectively. A black turtle neck jumper and faded black jeans. I then put my hair up in its usual style before jogging to the kitchens.

OOO

"Hey there Cook, ne." I said as I walked into the room.

"Hello Deidara. It's a bacon and sausage butty today." She told me, handing me my favourite breakfast.

"With Dijon mustard, yeah?" I asked suspiciously.

"Of course! Do you doubt me?" She said in reply. At her words I began wolfing down the butty.

"Green tea to wash it down?" she asked. I nodded eagerly, as my mouth was currently full.

Once I had finished my breakfast, Cook handed me a tray, it was Itachi-sama's breakfast. It was my job to take it to him. It was also my duty to wake him up, but I knew that he had been up for hours already.

I knocked on his door and walked straight in. His back was turned to me, but I knew that he knew exactly where I was in his room. Today he was wearing a black shirt and black dress pants, very unusual. "Good morning Itachi-sama. How are you today? Yeah." I said being formal, as I placed the tray on his desk.

"I will be going to a meeting with my father today." He told me, while sitting down to start his breakfast. "You may have the day off until seven o'clock tonight." That gave me twelve hours free. I had guessed this may have been the case for today from the way he was dressed so formally, not his normal style of clothing, although it did look good on him.

I bowed before backing out of the room, leaving him to his breakfast. "Stay!" Itachi-sama ordered. I stopped immediately and walked back towards him.

"Itachi-sama, ne?" I questioned him, stopping a few feet away from him.

"Is there a reason behind your wardrobe today?" He knew about the hickey, it was no accident. I blushed a bright red as a smirk appeared across Itachi's face. "Come and stand over here." He ordered me, I hesitated before following his order. "I would like to see." Itachi-sama said, ordering not asking. I blushed again before pulling my top off. It would be easier this way and it wasn't like I had anything to hide, yeah. Anyway Itachi had seen way more of me may times before, so it didn't matter.

Itachi studied his mark on my neck before studying my well-defined abs hungrily. "I expect you to be here when I get back." He said seductively before leaving the room.

I stood there for a few minutes before picking up my top, pulling it back on. I knew what those words meant, I was both impatient for and dreading Itachi-Sama's return tonight.

OOO

I dropped off Itachi-Sama's breakfast tray in the kitchen before going to find Sassori.

I found him overseeing some of the other servants cleaning the dining room. "Hey Sassori-Dana. Guess what yeah? I got the next twelve hours off, ne." I said proudly.

"Not so loud, the other servants might hear you." Sassori said while pulling me over to the side. "Do not annoy me today, I'm very busy. Fugaku-Sama is bringing home guests tomorrow. That means no blowing up anything in any part of the house at any time!" He told me sternly. "Now go make yourself useful. I hear Kakazu needs help today, I already sent Hidan up there." He said before there was a loud crash next to us.

"Tobi is so sorry! Tobi is a good boy really." Said a rather childish voice. Sassori growled. 'Tobi' apparently had dropped a lot of silverware that had just been polished.

"This new guy is just so clumsy, he's only been here for two days and he's already smashed nearly everything in the house." He then went over to deal with Tobi, while I slipped out of the room to head up to Kakazu's office.

Kakazu was the accountant for the Uchiha family. I only knew him because of Hidan and Sassori-Dana. Those three had been friends before I came here, Kakazu and Hidan were even 'going out', although it wasn't public information. I fell in with the group because Sassori (the second in command of the servants) had taken me under his wing and Hidan seemed to have many of the same duties as me, not that we liked each other, but they were my only friends in this place.

I knocked on the door and went straight in. "Sassori-Dana sent me here because . . ." I stopped in my tracks. Kakazu and Hidan were practically naked and were in the middle of fucking when I walked in. "I'll just wait outside for a bit, yeah." I mumbled as I walked straight back out, blushing. I knew that was all they did with each other, and I did the same thing with Itachi-Sama a few nights a week, but that was not something I wanted to walk in on.

A few minutes later a fully dressed Kakazu came out and ushered me in. "We didn't realise we were going to get any visitors." He said motioning me to sit down.

"Maybe that will fucking teach you next time, bitch." Hidan cussed at me. A small blush crept on my face.

"What brings you up here for?" Kakazu asked me as he sat down at his desk and looked at the financial situation of our employers.

"Sassori-Dana sent me up here to keep me out of the way. I have the whole day off. Yeah." I grinned as I said the last bit.

"Lucky you, Bitch." Hidan piped in, using his nickname for me. It was because he said I looked like a girl, which I supposed I kinda did. People did use to mistake me for my younger sister. "Why is it you get lots of fucking days off?" Hidan then asked again swearing, like he did with every sentence.

"Because when Itachi-Sama is busy I have nothing to do, so he just gives me the day off. Ne." I said proudly.

"You fucking Bitch" Hidan cussed me.

"Hidan language! Remember we're trying to get it down to a swear word ever other sentence and cut it off all together in front of the masters and their guests." Kakazu scolded Hidan.

"Screw you!" He retaliated back. Seemed like Hidan was never going to change. Not even for his 'lover'.

"I think you will find that I screw you." Kakazu said calmly, making Hidan's face turn a bright red colour, probably from a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

OOO

It was now midday and I was wondering towards the kitchen. I had gotten hungry again and Hidan and Kakazu were all but shoving me out the door, for the obvious again I suspected. I didn't want to stick around and see that again so I headed off to find some food.

"Hey Cook." I said as I walked into the kitchen.

"Well hello there Deidara. I'm guessing you've come looking for food."

"Yeah. I got the day off today I'm thinking of taking something back to my room and do some more of my art, ne." I told her the plans for the rest of my day.

"That sounds nice, however make sure you don't blow anything up, Sassori would hide you for that today."

"I already know that, 1) from experience, 2) he told me as much himself today, ne." I replied to her comment.

"There you go." She said handing me a plate of food and a glass of water. "Make sure you bring those back before the end of the day or I'll give you a hiding tomorrow." She shouted at me as I ran out the door with a word of thanks.

When I got to my room I put down the food and pulled out a new pack of clay. I noticed that it was my last. I would need to buy some more soon. This would probably last me only a couple more sculpture sessions after today.

I started to eat some of my lunch, knowing that I would get carried away and forget about it quickly. Once about half of it had disappeared I started on my art, since an idea had popped into my head.

First I cut off a large rectangular shape and made it into a small base. I then took out some long metal wires and a pair of wire cutters. Cutting the wires to different lengths, I stuck 15 of them into the rectangle base putting them in groups of three, making five triangle structures at random intervals. Once the layout of the piece was done I moved onto the main components.

I cut off a quarter of the clay left and then cut another slither off of that. From the small slither I pulled off a reasonable size for the spider I was going to make. I spent ages trying to get the two body segments right before taking ages to make sure each leg was perfect as well. I repeated this several more times. Once I had finished these I placed them gently onto the clay base, knowing that I would move them all again later.

I then made some more spiders, but this time a little differently. Once the spider was finished I would take a bite out of the back of it to make a crater and would then make it look like it was exploding. I then placed these onto the clay base, moving a few of the other spiders around at the same time.

I took a few more bites out of my lunch having taken a slight break and noticed that it was still there.

I then went to the larger of the two slices I had cut off. I then started making a bird. I spent ages tying to make it look like it was in flight. Before making it look like it had set alight and exploded. I set it aside and then made two more, making three exploding birds.

The last two birds I made for the piece looked normal, I spent ages trying to make them look perfect. I then put them on top of the wires so that they would hover in mid air.

As I was sticking the spiders securely into place a voice broke me from my inner artist's world. "I thought I told you to be in my room when I got back!" It was Itachi-sama. I looked to the small clock in my room and saw that it was now 7:30pm.

"Gomenasi." I apologised standing and bowing to show my respect. "I lost track of time. It won't happen again. Gomen." I said, apologising again.

"Bits of clay were keeping you from remembering your duties. I guess I must punish you." I looked up at him with a slightly scared look on my face. "However you have made a wonderful piece, very beautiful in its own way." He said admiring my artwork. He just called my artwork . . . beautiful. "I guess that I shouldn't be too hard on you." I didn't know what he was going to do to me. That prospect was scary, since I didn't know exactly what he was capable of yet.

Itachi walked towards me slowly. I closed my eyes and tensed my body in anticipation. When nothing happened I opened my eyes. I couldn't see him anywhere in front of me. "Itachi-sama?" I questioned. I went to turn around to see if he had moved behind me, but a strong arm stopped me. His body pressed against mine as his other arm wrapped around me, trapping me in place.

I felt his warm breath on the back of my ear, sending shivers down my spine straight to my groin. "I am sure you will enjoy this punishment."
