00:30 GMT 23/08 I just did a slight re-write of...most of this chapter and re-uploaded it, if you notice any changes. It didn't seem quite right suddenly, I think I uploaded it too soon. Sorry about the alterations if you already read it.
Chapter 4
---------------------------
Deidara eyes were closed, couldn't bare to look.
Unwanted lips brushed his face, they caused him as much agony as if they had been knives. Unwanted hands ran over his shoulders, gradually tightening, gripping him harder...
--------------------------
Someone was gripping his shoulders.
Deidara woke with a start.
"Hey! Hey, um, you awake?"
Who was that? he tried to focus; it hurt his eyes, too much orange and yellow...
It was only Naruto.
Deidara was breathing fast, the nightmare still lingering around him. If he'd had his hands, he probably would have tried to strangle Naruto on impulse; but, as it was, he could only lie there.
The forest came back into focus above him...so he was still with the Leaf-ninjas. Deidara strained his head, looking around the campsite; the fire was just ashes now, and the other blankets had been rolled up. He was alone with Naruto, but could hear the voices of Lee and Neji talking, somewhere nearby. He wasn't there now, wasn't in the Sand Village...
The Sand Village. They'd let the Sand Village have him. He'd been pretty unpopular there. But unpopular wasn't really the word for it... he'd been taken to the dungeon and... Deidara could feel sickness rise up in his empty stomach at the memory. His head hurt so much, and his mouth felt gross; he'd been sick last night, Deidara remembered now. He wondered where Kakashi was...and what did Naruto want?
Naruto seemed agitated. He was leaning over him, his hands on Deidara's shoulders.
"Oh, good, thought you weren't gonna wake there." Naruto grinned now and let go, he crouched back on his heels. Wait, was Naruto smiling at him?
But, Naruto's smile seemed strained, false; the type to be dropped in favour of another emotion...Was Naruto about to yell in his face again? Most likely. Deidara didn't feel up to making comebacks right now. He felt all burnt out; just wanted to think, wanted to be alone and think. Go away. I can't handle your shit today.
"Kakashi-sensei told us to let you sleep, but it looked like you were having a nightmare or something, I don't know." Naruto explained, his words hurried. "Anyway he also said to tell him if you woke up or you did anything weird, but 'cause it's my turn to watch you, I'm not supposed to leave, I guessed I should just wake you up..."
Naruto leaned closer, glancing around warily as he did so. He spoke quietly now, gently even; smile dropped completely. "So, um, are you ok? You looked kind of beat yesterday, kind of different from normal..." Naruto fidgeted. "Gaara, he's not a bad guy, he's not, I know him. His dad, the last Kazekage...he was kind of fucked up, I don't know, left some messed up rules around..."
Wait, Naruto was concerned? Was this really him, or an impostor?
" but you're not there now right, and your in one piece so I guess they went easy on you, or well, didn't go too hard on you," Naruto struggled,"Well, by one piece I mean well, how you were when they got you," he was saying everything wrong, he was stumbling over his words." and I mean, by 'easy' I mean like, not dead..." Naruto laughed nervously, rubbed at the back of his neck. "I mean...so that's good right? You're lucky really, it's something good isn't it?"
Was he 'ok'?
He was 'lucky'?
'It's something good'?
Deidara just stared at Naruto for a moment. He couldn't think of anything to say - he spat in Naruto's face.
"He-hey!" Naruto at wiped his face, shocked "I'm trying to be friendly, what's your problem?"
Deidara seethed, tried to sit up. "Fuck off you little shit, un!" Stupid fucking child! get out of my face. Naruto had no idea how bad it was for him, he was so stupidly fucking childish and naive...
Innocent. Deidara had always considered himself wicked, a master of cunning, a bringer of messy, violent deaths...but yeah, he'd been pretty inexperienced in other matters; in intimacy, like Naruto probably still was...If it were him, this time yesterday he couldn't have fully comprehended what that would be like. This time yesterday he would not have been capable of thinking these things. Deidara's face grew red. He envied Naruto for that...for still being...
"Oi, Naruto! Are you bothering him again? They said to leave him alone. You have to put aside what happened with Gaara," Neji and Lee had come back.
"Wha- all I did was ask him how he was, that was all!"
"Why is he all worked up then?"
"Naruto, you make him upset. Gai-sensei says it is not fair to threaten a captive; he is at a disadvantage from us, don't cause him added grief."
"But I wasn't threatening him!" Now Naruto was upset."I was just asking if he was ok after that stint in the Sand yesterday!"
Neji and Lee looked at each other.
"We are not supposed to speak to him about that!"
That. That. Did they know what happened! Did all of them fucking know? Of course they did. He thought hard, remembered more of yesterday. So, they all knew how weak he truly was? But if it was forbidden to talk about it, did that mean they were worried about his 'feelings', that they thought he was fragile? What was worse, their tip-toeing, or Naruto's lack of tact? He couldn't decide. Oh god why wouldn't they shut up?
"I-I thought talking about it would help!"
Neji reached over Deidara to grab at Naruto, he yanked him up. "You're an idiot!"
Deidara yelled suddenly. An unintelligible sound, "Get off, un..."
They all looked down at him, confused, none of them were touching him.
"Shut up un, just stop, I'm not, not..." He wasn't what? Now that he'd started, it was like he couldn't stop talking, he was rambling,"I'm not, even...nothing happened, nothing even happened, it didn't un, didn't, even fucking happen un, they...didn't...they..."
Being surrounded, being tied, being shouted over, the angry voices, it was reminding him...
"Just...don't shout, un..." He closed his eyes. He wasn't there now. He knew he wasn't. He knew was stuck here in a forest with these stupid, inept Leaf-boys. For all their height they were still just kids. But still, still...Deidara clenched his teeth, he was starting to sweat. A horrible feeling of dread. "Just...it..I, they...just..give me a minute..ah...un...I.."
"Oh no, he's doing it again,"
"I will get Kakashi-sensei!"
Lee left, while Naruto and Neji knelt beside Deidara. They looked at each other; they didn't know what to do. Deidara realised he was scaring them. He was scaring himself. Naruto tried to put a hand on Deidara's shoulder. Deidara flinched away, hating him. "Hey look, I'm sorry, I - Sensei!"
Kakashi was there. He elbowed Naruto out of the way, sternly. "I said to all of you; tell Gai or myself when he was awake,"
"I know, but I thought maybe I could talk to him, that I could help,"
"I know you mean well Naruto, but you can't understand him. All of you go and join Gai and the girls, they're still re-planning our route back home."
Naruto rose with Neji. "I'm really, really sorry." They walked away, leaving Kakashi alone with Deidara.
"..I...I...un..." Deidara was trying really hard to keep a grip on reality, really hard.
"Hey? Just breathe, just rest your head down on your knees, come on,"
Deidara brought his forehead to his knees, it felt easy to be told what to do right now.
"Try to think about something else,"
"uh.."
"Something else, something good, Deidara?"
Good? There was that word again, the one that had no place in his life now...
"Y-you bastards, I c-can't even remember, un, can't think about th-that anymore, un. You stopped it--" It was all their fault, that he'd become this.
Kakashi was still unmoving beside him, Deidara closed his eyes. After a while, Kakashi spoke.
"You like explosions, right?"
Huh? That had nothing to do with anything. But, there'd been a time when he could think of nothing but that.
"Yeah." When was the last time he had thought about exploding something? It felt like ages ago.
"And flying?"
"Yeah, un." He fucking loved flying.
"And the things you could make to fly on, that you could make explode?"
"They're not things, un, they're art."
"I see. Were they supposed to look like other things? Imitate other things?"
"They aren't imitations, I crafted them, all originals, un."
"Right, I just hadn't really seen anything like them before, so I wasn't sure."
"No, un, you wouldn't, they're my art; they're unique. Though I doubt you could appreciate, un."
Deidara realised he was feeling clearer. Kakashi, he was a clever bastard. But it had helped, it really had. He felt a little calmer. It felt like it had passed now, that wave of panic, that cold dread.
"I've never really had much of an eye for art."
Deidara lifted his head from his knees and glared at him, "What are you doing, un, just trying to distract me?"
"Ah, you caught me out. Well yes, that's exactly what I was doing." Kakashi was smiling through his mask. Stupid mask. Stupid secretive Kakashi that he knew almost nothing about, but somehow had all the info on him...
"Bastard, un." muttered Deidara.
"Well, you had a good long sleep there." Kakashi stood up, stretched. "We will have to continue on toward Konoha now."
"Urrgh."
"No, come on now, you know we have to." Kakashi yanked up the blanket Deidara had been sleeping on; that Deidara was still partially sat on; and began rolling it up. He looked at Deidara, more serious now, "I will just say this Deidara, what happened, if you want to talk to me about it, remember that you can."
Deidara snorted, "I don't need help, un. And nothing did happen.
--------------------------------------
Sakura pulled the comb through his wet and tangled hair with some difficulty, "That feels better now it's clean, doesn't it? It's so long, I used to have long hair" When Tenten joined to help her pick out the knots, the two of them began chattering about hair. His hair, their own hair, other people's hair, who out of their friends that they thought had the best hair, which hair colour they thought was prettiest on a scale from one to ten with one being the highest (blond lost first place to black after some debate).
Deidara had never really much kept the company of girls, so he was unaccustomed to hearing conversation of this stunning level of quality and intellect. UTTER FUCKING CRAP. So trivial and childish. One of most pointless things he'd ever heard, but, there was something strangely comforting about listening to all this, something safe and unthreatening.
"So, why is blond second."
They stopped for a moment, surprised that he was taking part.
"Well, obviously," began Tenten...
Earlier that day, it begun to rain. It had been very light at first, but then had become a huge downpour; and the team had gotten soaked as they travelled. The cover of trees had offered some protection, but the rain eventually got so heavy that it tore down on them even between the leaves.
Finally the group had made a detour to the slope of a nearby mountain-side. They chose a large cave, and building a fire within in, hung up all their wet outer clothes around it on wires. That was when Sakura had made the suggestion to Deidara of washing his hair, as they were all soaked anyway.
Sitting outside the cave in the rain, head bent, he'd allowed her to to do it. She'd been a bit surprised when he'd nodded, accepting the offer, but Deidara had wanted to wash for some time now. All the fighting and struggling had left him covered in sweat, dirt, and blood. But more than any of those, he badly wanted to wash away the traces left by those men, their taint; and the bad feelings that came with it.
Deidara wore just his under-shorts, letting the rain run over him. Sakura sat in front of him, working her hands hard into his hair; it was so filthy. Deidara was looking down at her clothes. He noticed several blood stains, they were a few days old...it was his own blood, it was from the time she'd first bandaged his heavily bleeding arm. Head down, he couldn't see her face above him, but he'd noticed earlier that a huge dark bruise had blossomed around her lips and chin; was that his fault? That was from when he'd kicked her in the face; but here she was, still helping him, doing him this favour. It seemed she bore no grudge - even though she should, really; he would have. But Deidara didn't apologise. Deidara never apologised to anyone.
So, that was how he came to be sat, half naked, in a cave with a bunch of half-naked Leaf-nin. Two of whom were combing his hair; and having the most stupid conversation about hair colours.
"Why blond is second, well, hmm," Sakura seemed thoughtful, it was a very important question of course. (ugh)
"Black hair has to be first, because Sasu--" Tenten stopped and looked at Sakura, apparently it was not good to say that name around her. hmm.
He guessed she'd been about to say Sasuke. Perhaps Sakura fancied Sasuke? She seemed the type to easily fancy loads of guys. He imagined Sasuke probably looked something like his bastard-face brother Itachi.Fucking Uchiha's.
"Black hair because of mine, right Tenten?" Lee was sat nearby, wringing out bandages.
"Um, yeaahh." smiled Tenten.
"Yeah Lee, that's why." said Sakura. They were so kind to poor Eyebrows.
"Although, I would say that pink is nicest."
"No way, blond is so much better!" Naruto joined in. "Innit, Deidara?" (Naruto was so sickeningly cheerful and friendly since Gaara had been revived, was this what he was normally like?)
Deidara hesitated, ".........Sure, un." He'd never considered this question in his life.
"Sakura-chan, I'm blond." Naruto; Captain Obvious.
"Well I still say black is better!" Sakura snapped back. Naruto looked put out, it was obvious why he'd wanted her to place him first... (There must be some fucking triangle thing with them and this Sasuke, Deidara didn't even want to know.)
"You talk about the most inane things," Neji sounded annoyed. "......where does brunet come in all this?" Like him, Neji was irritated and yet a little curious.
"How did we rate brunet, Tenten? Was it fourth or fifth?" Now Sakura was re-wrapping Deidara's arms and chest with dry bandages. That felt so much better.
"Dark, medium or light brunet?"
"Oh my God," Naruto gaped, "how deep did you guys get into this?"
"TIME FOR BED, YOUNG ONES!" Boomed Gai, creeping up behind them. It echoed loudly, violently, off the walls, making everyone jump. Ugh, he was in that mood. "We need our energy for tomorrow...and I notice that you continue to place black first, it is no doubt the most handsome colour." Gai looked over at Kakashi, who sat near the fire reading his smut-book as per usual. Kakashi looked strange, wearing nothing except for shorts and the mask; much less imposing without his Jonin uniform. Less imposing, as in Deidara thought Kakashi looked kind of like a homeless bum..."Kakashi, they have placed black hair as first! That means it is valued above grey! My hair has defeated yours!"
"Yes, I suppose it has." Kakashi seemed to be barely paying attention.
"....DAMN YOU Kakashi for your cool attitude!"
"Sensei stop yelling, please!"
--------------------------------------------------
Deidara lay furthest from the entrance at the back of the cave, Akatsuki coat pulled over him. He was unable to sleep. It was a little smokey, but warm, the fire still alight...all the clothes still drying. Everyone else was sleeping apart from Tenten and Lee who were just outside the entrance (it had stopped raining now.) It was their turn to keep watch; he couldn't see them, but could hear Tenten humming to herself, probably polishing her shuriken. He could hear Lee doing push-ups...he practised every spare second he got; whenever they stopped, even if it was only for a few minutes.
This evening. It had been...sort of good. Well, an improvement on yesterday at least. It hadn't been bad. He had missed being able to talk with someone, even if it was just a bit. Deidara wanted to talk even more now, but properly; he missed being able to have a deep conversation. He had used to talk to Master Sasori about everything; about art, about fighting, about death. They'd always had conflicting views because Sasori's opinion was always completely wrong and full of shit but he'd still enjoyed talking to him. But Sasori was dead and he didn't have anyone else...uurgh, was he getting lonely? He was he was starting to sound like a girl.
Deidara felt like he wanted to talk about it. There was something sad about not being able to do so. He would have rather died than talked about it just earlier, and would probably feel the same about it tomorrow, but at this moment he so badly wanted to talk about it...
Talk about it to...Kakashi. Kakashi was a bastard and everything, but he'd talk to him, he'd listen; he'd get it. Kakashi was always patient with him, no matter how much Deidara swore at him the fucker was always just really calm; how did he manage to be like that? Not stoic, like that cold bastard Itachi, just, well; relaxed, mellow. Master Sasori had been a relaxed guy too. The other Leaf guys, they talked to him too but they didn't understand. They talked about clueless stuff, and tiptoed around him; he couldn't talk to them about what had happened. They were just kids, Gai too, he was better, but he was still a big kid. But Kakashi...
For some reason he just knew that whatever he told Kakashi, it would be kept secret. He kind of, trusted him? Was that what it was? Okay so the bastard had violently severed one of his limbs, but, for example, he knew for a fact that if he woke him up right now, then Kakashi would be quite willing talk and listen to him, not get angry - because apparently that guy just never got angry. And he wouldn't look weak, or lose his reputation, because only Kakashi would know.
Even if they didn't talk about it, Deidara just knew he wanted to talk to Kakashi again, about anything. It was so important, for some reason...
He was sleeping next to him, about a foot's distance away. Mask still on; did he ever remove it? Deidara wondered what he really looked like. Maybe he was all scarred up, like him, like he was now?
Deidara cleared his throat quietly, "Kakashi un,...Kakashi..."
"Hm?" after a moment Kakashi shifted and turned to look at him, it seemed he a was light sleeper. "Deidara? Do you need to go?"
"Uh.."
Suddenly, Deidara couldn't say that he had just wanted to talk - it was stupid, he'd look stupid. Why'd he feel like such an idiot suddenly? Kakashi thought he needed to go; needing to out for a piss was the only reasonable explanation for waking him in the middle of the night, so anything else would look so stupid...
He was not about to admit that he'd woken him up because he'd been feeling lonely...FUCK no.
"un...yeah...that..." Dammit.
Kakashi got up and put back on his (still slightly damp) forehead protector he had removed to sleep. Deidara realised he had bothered to put it back on only because he knew Deidara couldn't stand the sight of his sharingan... Kakashi came and knelt in front of him.
"Are you alright?"
He looked at Kakashi, sitting face to face with him, patiently waiting for him to speak, wanting to hear what he would say, listening. It was hard to meet Kakashi's eyes for some reason, instead he found himself staring at the line that separated his mask from his face, that cut it in half; it seemed fascinating suddenly...
"Deidara, what is it. What do you want?"
Why the hell was it so fascinating.
He couldn't find the words...
Deidara leaned forward, and pressed his lips against Kakashi's mouth.
Kakashi didn't move at first, but then he brought his hands to rest on Deidara's shoulders and gently pushed back, lowering Deidara away.
"What are you doing?"
What the hell am I doing?
Deidara didn't know how to answer that, because he really didn't know, seriously...
Why'd he do that? Had he hoped that Kakashi would be the one to tell him, that Kakashi would help him somehow? But he was just looking at him. Deidara felt weird.
"I, I...un.." he struggled with what to say. uhhhh? come on, brain...he just didn't know.
Kakashi spoke gently; kindly, he always did. "You're just really confused right now, you've been hurt. It's ok. You didn't actually want to do that."
Was he just confused? If Kakashi was saying he was confused, then maybe that meant he really was.
No, I'm not confused, I did want to do that, I still do. For some reason, at this particular moment, it was the only thing he wanted to do. He leaned in again but Kakashi put hands on his shoulders to stop him this time, his actions firmer now.
"Deidara, no." he sounded calm but stern. "You don't really want to. I don't either. I'm sorry if I've given you any false impressions or ideas that have confused you. But you can't do that again...you'll be thinking more clearly in the morning - you are always bad at night. We'll both forget this, I won't tell anyone about it or think less of you."
'I don't either?' Kakashi didn't like him?
......Wait, had he thought that Kakashi liked him? What the hell...
"Go back to sleep." He pressed Deidara back down onto his blanket, and then returned to his own. Deidara watched, not understanding...
Kakashi rolled over, turning his back on him.
"un..." Hey, wait...
"Sleep, Deidara." There was irritation in Kakashi's voice. He was annoyed....
But...
Had he just made Kakashi hate him? For some crazy reason the thought of it upset him! He didn't know why, why should it matter if Kakashi hated him? The other day, they tried to kill each other! They were supposed to hate each other! Why should he be upset that a guy who already should hate him, might hate him; that made no fucking sense! Was he going insane, being around these leaf-nin all the time? Was it just their pussy attitudes rubbing off on him somehow?
How come when Kakashi turned his back on him just now, it hurt fucking more than when Kakashi had severed his arm.
He was still the enemy after all, so why would Kakashi like him, and why would Deidara think that he would? Deidara killed the Kazekage, his friend, and he still targeted Naruto, his student...of course Kakashi wanted him dead...
So why then, in the interrogation room, when Deidara had leaned into his chest...why had Kakashi put his arms around him, held him?
Had the gesture just been something to make him easier to handle, easier for them to transport to Konoha? Just an act, to keep him calm? All of the kindness, was that it's purpose? They didn't like it when he was wild, they'd gagged him when he was wild, they were nice to him when he was...easy.
And...Deidara looked down at his ruined arms. He looked like a complete wreck, and felt like a complete wreck, nothing compared to what he once was...
'...only half a man now,' the memory resurfaced, it was horrible, but it was true; he was incomplete, inadequate...halved. What could he do for someone, like this? What could he offer someone...he didn't even have his looks. As well as making him utterly useless, his body was disfigured and ugly...He remembered, at his capture, Sakura had gasped at the first sight of his wounds; putting a hand to her mouth when his coat had been first pulled down, even Gai had flinched.; Missing arms, it was not like a small scar or something.
Deidara had thought he wasn't vain. But it was bothering him, that he was difficult to look at; he could barely even look at himself, so why would anyone, why would Kakashi, want that?
He'd ruined everything just now, by doing that. By annoying him. Now he couldn't even talk to Kakashi; he felt more miserable than ever.
Deidara hated him, for making him feel this way.
He would kill him.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Deidara does not talk easily, there is little danger of him giving the enemy information."
"But everyday that a member of Akatsuki is held captive, the more we, as an organisation, lose face."
"And it is not just a question Deidara's loyalty and stubbornness, a genjutsu expert may be able to pry information from him in other ways."
Akatsuki held assembly once again, called for by the Leader. But this time their numbers were two less.
"Ahahaha, just replace him!" Laughed Hidan, "If blondie was dumb enough to get captured, then why'd we want him back?"
"Deidara is hard to replace." The Leader spoke. " I will remind you that he successfully captured the Shukaka on the first attempt...and I might add that you have yet to capture your own target. It is important to keep our numbers, we have lost Sasori also, yet another member gone would severely ruin our plans.
"But, no, but yeah, but - he's shit now, he lost both his arms! Come on."
"Kakuzu, once we have him, you can reattach those, yes? Zetsu has recovered the pieces in the forest, he may need the right elbow reconstructed however..."
"I can do that easily."
"Where is he now? Wasn't he taken to the Sand Village?"
"It would seem that the Leaf ninjas handed him to the Sand Village, but they later returned custody back to the Leaf-nin.
"That's strange, why wou-"
"He was too annoying I bet! Listened to just one of his crazy speeches and gave him right back..."
"We don't know why, but the reason is unimportant. We just need to get him out of enemy hands. Kisame, Itachi..."
"We are far from their location currently," Itachi spoke, "close now on the trail of Kisame's target."
"I see. So then, Hidan, Kakuzu, you will interce-"
"UUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrggggggggh, noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
After a brief pause, the Leader decided he would ignore Hidan's outrageous groan and carried on, "Hidan, Kakuzu, you will intercept the leaf ninja's before they reach Konoha, and retrieve Deidara. Zetsu will meet you outside here and give you his ring and arms, they are sealed in a scroll."
"Done." Kakuzu got a word in before his teamate.
"However, it will be difficult as the Kyuubi travels with the team that has him, as well as Kakashi Hatake, the copy-nin. If you are unable to rescue him...you know what to do. The Sand Village would have executed him, but I will not have him reach the Leaf Village; it's possible their genjutsu experts may be able to extract information him. So kill him, but only as a last resort.
"Ahh, don't go giving these two permission to do that," drawled Kisame, smiling widely."You know how easily it could happen with them, the zombie-brothers, once they get going..."
"Fuck you, Kisame!"
"Hidan, silence. I'll kill you, I swear I will."
"Kakuzu-chan, you say that so often..."
"The meeting has ended, I expect you to take up your new mission with immediate effect."
Kakuzu and Hidan were the last to leave.
"Ha, I wonder how he's taking captivity? That guy get's edgy just from being in a small room!"
"Well, let's go and collect him."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TBC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OMAKE
Kakashi stood up, stretched. "We will have to continue on toward Konoha now."
"...It's kind of taking a long time, un... so how many days travel are the Leaf and Sand Village from eachother, anyway un?"
"Hmm." Kakashi approximated, "I'd say exactly as many days as the author finds necessary."
"Necessary for what, un?"
Kakashi just smiled.
"............o_0"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, Kakadei. Unusual pairing, but I like it (no one is more suprised than me...)
Ahhh this was so hard to write as I had several different ideas...but I know exactly what I want to happen for at least the next 3 chapters so those'll probably come faster :D
OMG did you see today's episode of Shippuden (123) *squeal* So much self-doubting (angsting) Deidara, whaaa *watches over and over*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Next chap: it's comin'
-----------------------------------------------------------------

xgangsofasiax: Sorry for making you tear up! *Gasp* Hello Panda, for me? you're not getting this back you realise...*scampers away* Thanks for reviewing again I hope you like the rest of the fic :D

Nelleh: :D Wahh ty for reviewing, thankyou, I'm glad your liking the story :)

Miss Nomad: OHHH BUT OF COURSE Kakashi/Deidara :D I too, am a fangirl. Ok, it wasn't going to be kaka/dei when I first thought of the story, but when I was writing chapter 1, at the part when Kakashi took the kunai from Deidara's mouth there suddenly seemed to be too much chemistry there to be ignored. Also, Deidara didn't warm up to Neji very much; I did try to get them together, but Dei told me he thought Neji was boring. Why must Neji be so very attractive and yet boring, is it his curse? Oh well, it's so much better this way. Thankyou for the detailed review, it's most lovely :) I'm so glad this version of chap 3 went down well, in the end maybe less is more...and I didn't want to completely break Deidara, loving him as I do. (When I say I write Deidara out of character, I mean I think he is not obsessed with art and explosions enough, and he's becoming 'nicer'...but maybe given the circumstances he has other things to think of...)
I'm glad you're enjoying the fic, I hope it can continue to deliver :D
