Sakura floated back into consciousness, with the feeling of being oddly warm. Not wanting to wake up she snuggled under the covers, moving her body towards the warmth.

“Nnmm…” She squeezed her eyes shut trying to guard her eyes from the light that was beginning to seep through.

“Why are they…”

“Shhhh….”

The pink haired girl crunched her face; the noises seemed to be in whispering. Trying to block out the noises she moved her body further into the warmth.

“Leave the brats alone…”

“But Hidan got to take a picture!”

Sakura snapped her eyes open, the yell hitting her like a ton of bricks. When she woke up, she found herself staring up close into a pair of eyes. Eyes that had the exact same expression as she had.

“What the hell, un!?!” Sakura tried to pull away, but found the blonde’s arm wrapped around her waist. Deidara snapped his arms back to his side, feeling his face turn a reddish tint.

“GAH!” It finally hit Sakura that she was lying in bed with her roommate. The girl scrambled out of the bed backwards, and nearly fell onto the floor. She felt someone’s arms catch her, looking behind she saw Tobi holding her up.

The blonde saw Sakura be caught by Tobi, and he felt something hit him. Jealously? No he couldn’t be jealous. “I’m not jealous, un.” He told himself that many times, yet he knew that know was the time to concentrate on his current situation.

“WHY WAS I,- UGH!” Sakura couldn’t find the right words to describe her feelings. “This was all you wasn’t it?!” she pointed at Deidara, who was sitting up in the bed. He so didn’t need this right now.

“Don’t blame me Pinkie; someone would have to be a complete lunatic to want to sleep with you, un.”

“What!?!”

“You heard me Pinkie, un!” Sakura raised her fist in Deidara’s direction.

“A-and why are the stupid Akatsuki in MY room?!” Sakura glared at the Akatsuki that stared at her blankly.

“We can hear you.” Sasori said with a frown, rubbing his eyes.

“Tobi flooded the other dorm building, so they are staying here for the week. OH! And this is OUR room Pinkie, un.”

“Not according to you yesterday.” Kisame said, smirking at the blonde.

“Shut up, un.”

“Forget it! Seriously who did this? I fell asleep in my bed.”

“I believe it was Hidan.” Sasori sneered.

“Wait, Danna you were sharing the bed with me last night.”

“Yea, until Hidan dragged me out of the bed by my feet and replaced me with Sakura, leaving me to sleep on the floor.” The red head grumbled. Deidara noticed Sasori’s eyes looked like he was about to kill someone.

“WELL, where is Hidan, un?” Deidara looked around the room, seeing no sign of the Jashin worshiper. He walked over to Sasori and stood next to the red-head.

“Sleeping.” Pein sighed out, shifting his eyes to the top bunk.

“Oh, I’ll give him sleeping!” Sakura spat grabbing a water bottle off the desk and heading towards the bunk bed. She stood on the edge of the bottom bunk, and held on to the railing of the top. Sakura saw Hidan, his face upwards, sleeping. Totally unaware of his fate.

“That’s not a good idea.” Itachi spoke up, watching the stupid girl get ready to commit suicide.

“Like a value your opinion.”

“Hn.”

“This is for what you did.” Sakura sneered, uncapping the water bottle and carelessly throwing the cap down to Pein. The Akatsuki leader stared at the cap in his hands, not knowing what to do with it.

Deidara being very slow at the moment realized what Sakura was about to do, as she got ready to pour the water. “Pinkie don’t do it, you might end up dead, un!”

To late.

“HOLY CRAP!” Hidan shot up in the bed, water dripping down in hair and face. Sakura was so startled by his reaction, she fell backwards. To her relief she was yet again caught by Tobi.

“Is pretty girl ok?”

“Show off, un.”

“Sempai’s jealous.”

“No I’m not, un!”

“Got to fucking hell all of you!”

“Hidan no cursing.” Pein growled.

“Pink-haired witch.” Hidan sneered in Sakura’s direction.

“You deserved it; now get out of my bed!”

“Pink-haired witch…” Hidan mumbled jumping down from the top bunk.

Sakura let out a sigh knowing that she now had a new nickname.

“Do you guys have to stay here?” She exasperated.

The Akatsuki looked at each other.

“Yes.”

5 days later…

Deidara groaned miserably, sulking in his own self-pity. The campus lights flickered on, the brightness illuminating the entire grounds. His eyes momentarily glanced at the setting sun. The blonde continued his walk towards the dorm building.

“Tomorrow is our final day of freedom.” Deidara told himself, knowing very well that tomorrow was going to be the final day before the start of college. He pushed his way through the dorm’s doors, turning a sharp right to make his way up the stairs. His hand glided lazily across the hand rail.

Reaching his floor as he made it to his door, the blonde paused in front of the dorm room entrance. His eyes seemed to be staring at it in disgust; he knew what was coming next. Hesitantly he pushed the door open not even bothering to step inside. Two familiar faces popped in front of him.

“Hi Dei-chan” Sakura drew out the ‘chan’ part, making sure that her point came across.

“Still learning Japanese from leader I see, un.” Deidara sighed out. Pein had moved to America from Japan when he was twelve and had decided to spend his free time teaching others Japanese.

Deidara sighed out again; he didn’t know that Sakura would like having the other Akatsuki around. Although he knew that it probably had to do with the fact that the other Akatsuki’s make his life miserable.

“I am not a GIRL, un.”

“Dei-chan is a liar!” Sakura snickered out. The blonde was still standing in the doorway; the worst was coming up next.

“SEMPAI!” Tobi ran up to Deidara and embraced him in a hug, squeezing the blonde’s arms to his side.

“Let…go…un.” Deidara wheezed out, nearly getting hugged to death. Tobi didn’t comply, but hugged his sempai harder. Sakura watched the scene unfold and drowned in a giggling fit.

“Tobi release Deidara now.” Pein stepped in front of the doorway, ordering Tobi. Tobi reluctantly released his grip on Deidara, and scrambled back into the room. The blonde nodded thankfully at Pein who nodded back. Deidara followed Pein inside of the room, shutting the door behind him.

“Finally that little pink-haired witch wouldn’t let us eat until you fuc-” Pein sharply jerked his head around to Hidan, glaring at him. “OK, OK, I get it!” Hidan growled throwing his hands up in the air.

Pein turned back to Konan, who was raising her eyebrows.

“Where’s Zetsu, un?” Sasori shrugged, walking over to Deidara’s bed and plopping down.

Deidara’s eyes roamed around the room, things sure had changed ever since the other Akatsuki came to stay. The beds were the same, but stuffed in one of the corners were a bunch of sleeping bags piled onto each other. In the middle of the room, there was a plastic rectangle shaped table, the kind that you would see on your pool deck.

Surrounding that were many cheap chairs, a few of which Kakuzu stole from the library and various other places. The whole room was basically one big clutter; Deidara knew that this many people weren’t supposed to stay in one room together.

“Check it out!” Sakura jumped stood in front of the table, holding a take-out bag in front of her. She carefully set the bag down on the table, scooting in to the middle of the table.

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes at the food in disgust, “Little girl made us order the expensive stuff.” He sneered, turning away.

“Oh put a sock in it, el cheapo. I spent fifteen dollars; seriously I don’t think that fifteen dollars will dampen your chances to take over the world.” Sakura retorted, shoving the receipt into Kakuzu’s face. Kakuzu crumpled the receipt into his pocket; angrily he sat down at the table.

“Can we eat now?!” Itachi spat, his stomach emitting a loud growl. Everyone stared at Itachi, who looked very displeased.

“Hungry Itachi-san?” Tobi giggled.

“Hn.”

“Everyone just sit down, and we will all eat.” Konan said, making a motion for everyone to sit down, before doing so herself.

Sasori sighed in agreement and walked over to the table. The blonde stomped over to the makeshift eating area and plopped down in the seat between Tobi and Sakura.

“Are you hungry sempai?” Tobi asked cheerfully.

“No.” Tobi frowned, but quickly brushed it off. He picked up his knife and fork, getting in an eating position.

“Well I am! Hey sempai, you and pretty girl are sitting too far apart.” Tobi playfully scooted Sakura over towards Deidara who scooted her back.

“Stop, un!” Sakura clutched her chair’s sides, trying to hang on as she was moved back and forth.

“Would you stop?!” Kakuzu growled, causing Deidara and Tobi to place their hands at their sides.

Konan began to open the containers when Sasori spoke up, “Sakura what did you order?” He had a feeling that he already knew.

“Sweet and Sour chicken-” Sasori let out a long drawn out groan.

“That AGAIN?!” He shouted slamming his fist on the table.

“Calm down hot-head, you cut me short. I ordered Chinese for me, but I ordered you guys your favorites.”

“Our favorites?” Kisame asked.

“Yep, I based it off Kakuzu’s coupons. I simply picked out a coupon at random and whatever I picked out for you, that what you get.” She said happily, grabbing the chicken container from Konan. Deidara’s eyes widened a bit, he clearly didn’t like were this was going.

“Me next.” Sasori growled. Konan peered into the container marked in red with Sasori’s name.

“Ok, but just don’t yell.”

Sasori snatched the box from her hands, throwing the lid off carelessly. “What the fuck is this?”

“Oh sure he can curse!”

“Shut the fuck up Hidan!” Kakuzu spat.

“Why don’t you?!”

“CAN WE JUST FUCKING EAT?!” Itachi’s stomach emitted another large growl.

“I don’t know ask mister I’m so depressed just because I can’t curse!”

“Fuck you!”

“HIDAN!”

“Uh, seriously what is this?” Sasori pointed to the food.

“It’s my favorite, cauliflower soup. Dig in, un.” The blonde snickered.

“HOLY CRAP! WHAT THE HELL?!” Kisame roared, looking into his carton to find a steamed fish. “Is this some kind of sick joke?!”

“You’re not a fish, so what do you fucking care?!” Hidan yelled at Kisame.

“HIDAN!” Pein raised his voice even higher.

“STILL HUNGRY!” Itachi threw his knife down onto the table.

“If THEY can curse why the fuck can’t I?!”

“You just did!” Kakuzu pointed out, whacking Hidan across the head.

“STOP, I’m not some dog!”

“Oh and Hidan, I would like inform you that unlike your made up religion, my beliefs center around reincarnation. I could be eating a relative for all I know!”

“Jashin-sama is real you bastard!” Hidan stood up, slamming his hand onto the table. Although plastic tables aren’t that sturdy. All of the food came crashing down onto the floor, as one of the tables legs broke off.

Hidan stood still, while the others sat there in complete silence. Pein’s head was buried in his hands.

“Pizza?” Tobi asked hesitantly.

“Just order anything!” Pein growled stalking over to the desk, and stuffing his face into a book. “But tomorrow, I expect everyone to be back to normal for the trip, that is if you guys can be normal!”

“Trip?” Sakura asked, “What about school in two days?”

“You’ll find out tomorrow, Deidara be sure to get up on time.” Sasori smirked.

“Yea, yea, whatever you say mother, un.” Sakura was still extremely curious, but first things first.

“Pizza it is.” Sakura chimed. “I’ll run over to the pizza parlor with Tobi, just let me go change first.” Sakura sat up and made her way over to the dresser. She began digging through the drawer. “Hey Deidara have you seen my jeans with the roses on them?”

Deidara’s eyes shifted to his bed, more exactly underneath his bead.

“Brat, what did you do?”

“Heh it’s a funny story, un…”
