More Than This: A Deidara Fanfic

Part 2: Inching Closer Chapter 10

My mouth gapes open in awe. It was like I had expected it to be except for the fact that it was a bit more comfortable than I would have thought. Surprisingly, all the Akatsuki members were chilling on the couches, doing their own thing.

As we walk in, they all turn and look at me. I half smile and Hidan grins. "Where's lover-boy?"

I frown. "Lets just get this straight, me and Deidara...no, we are not dating!"

He laughs. "Okay then. Now, what are you here for?"

"Do I have to be here for a reason?" I say putting a hand on my hip.

He purses his lips and smooches the air. "Come back for more kissing?"

I throw a kunai at him, catching his sleeve. "Does it look like I want to kiss you?"

He takes the kunai, tossing it back and forth before throwing it back at me and I quickly evade it and catch it. "What's got your panties in a knot?"

I growl and try to pounce toward him but Kisame jumps up from the couch and holds me back. "Let me go!"

Kisame chuckles. "Angry woman ninja on the loose after Hidan, I'd rather not."

I sigh. "Okay, okay. I'm calm." He releases me and I throw the kunai at Hidan, landing right next to his ear, leaving a cut.

He laughs. "Feisty are we?"

Pein stands between us. "Enough already! Hidan quit being a nuisance and Nioki, calm down."

Hidan huffs before sitting down on a stool to pout. "Fine..."

I sit on the couch and apologize to Hidan, Pein, and Kisame.

Hidan smirks. "Apology accepted."

I glare at him. "Did I ask whether or not you accepted it? You'd take the god damn apology and accept it anyway or you could just shove it up your-"

Kisame grabs my arm and leads me to another room before I could finish my threat. "Are you okay?"

I push my hair back and sigh. "I think I'm just over exhausted. Can I stay here for the night?"

Kisame chuckles. "If you and Hidan don't rip out each others throats by tomorrow morning."

I laugh tiredly. "That is going to take entirely too much will power but I can try."

Hidan steps into view. "Staying the night, are we?" He leans against the door frame.

Kisame glares at him. "Hidan, don't start any shit. The girls exhausted, give her a break; Let her rest."

"Maybe." He walks away after he gives a wave.

I groan. "Why is he such a jerk!"

Kisame shrugs. "That's Hidan for you and you can sleep in me and Itachi's room. I will sleep on the floor, you can have my bed for the night."

"Kisame, you don't have to do that."

He waves me off. "Its fine, Nioki."

That night, I lie there thinking about today's events. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so mad but I couldn't help it. I toss and turn all night, replaying the prank they pulled on me. I found no sleep and once I finally found myself drifting off, it seemed to be morning. Nobody had waken me and I stand in the doorway as I hear hushed voices.

"Yeah, she stopped by." Kisame's voice.

"What happened between you guys Deidara senpai?" Tobi asks. Ah, so Deidara decided to stop by.
