Disclamer: I own the characters you don't know...the rest I don't own...

The Akatsuki is full of S-classed Ninja who have either left their village to join or foreced to leave by force.

Six years ago, Deidara left his home in the village hidden amongst stone to join the Akatsuki, forced by Itachi and Kisame.He now works with Sasori of the red sand in the Akatsuki. He has trained long and hard with his art, and he still carries the little jar with the green surup that Makito gave him.

--Present day (well almost)--

Deidara was minding his own buisness in the hide out of the Akatsuki, making C-4 clay birds and putting them in his bag, just in case. Sitting next to him was the jar his brother gave him.

His hair was half way up in the back and had grown a bit since he left, He had his black mid-drift shirt, nets, black paints and shoes.

"Deidara, why do you continue to bore us with that?" Hidan proclamed loudly.

"Well you don't have to be around when I'm making my art, un" Deidara ignored eye contact with the silver haired, eternal ninja.

"Shit head" Hidan scowled, It was boring day around, the hide out. Nothing to do, no where to go.

Hidan then caught eye of the Jar, "Hey shit head, whats this?" Hidan grabbed it and stared at it, sloshing it around.

Deidara's eyes went wide and grabbed the jar back from Hidan, "Thats none of your buisness, go bother someone else" he kept the bottle close to him.

"Oh, that means is something important" Hidan smirked, "Let me see it" He got up and tried to pry it out of Deidara's hands, Deidara wasn't going out with out a fight, so they began to struggle.

"What are they doing?" Kisame asked Itachi.

"I guess the madness of being bored finally hit Hidan" Itachi sighed.

"LET ME HAVE IT SHIT HEAD" Hidan yelled, struggling with Deidara for the Jar.

"LIKE HELL I'M GONNA LET YOU HAVE IT, UN" Deidara yelled back.

Then, in the Blink of an eye, the jar flew up, out of their reach and then landed on the ground near by, shattering the glass and the sirum going into the ground like water.

Deidara's eyes were wide and his mouth had dropped, He then put Hidan in a choke hold, "Look what you did, THAT JAR WAS IMPORTANT!!" Deidara began a yelling frenzy as he choked Hidan.

"He does realize that Hidan can't die, right?" Kakazu asked, leaning on the wall near by, "I've been tryng for a wile now"

"I think he knows, He just wants to do it anyway" Itachi shrugged.

Deidara finally stopped, Sighing heavily and letting go of Hidan, "Now what I'm supposed to do with out that, un?" He rubbed his forehead.

"Why don't you go get some more?" Itachi asked as if it was obvious.

Deidara thought for a moment, "That means I would have to go back to..." Deidara suddenly had a smirk written across his face.

"What's he thinking about?" Kisame asked Itachi.

Itachi shrugged, sometimes he just has no idea what goes threw the mind of the Clay Artist.

"LEADER-SAMA, WE NEED TO TALK" Deidara yelled, walking away from them.

"Wonder what he's got up his sleeve?" Itachi asked aloud, as Hidan recovered from his painfull experince.

--few minutes later--

"YES" Deidara walked out of Leader-sama's quarters.

"What are you so happy about, brat?" Sasori, who finally decided to wake up, asked him. Itachi and Kakazu brought him up to speed on Deidara and Hidan's quarl that morning.

"I'm going back to Iwa, un" Deidara chimed happily, "I know excatly what I'm going to do when I get there" he was practiclly giggling.

Itachi sighed, "I know I'm going to regret asking this but..." He sighed again, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to see my family again, I hope nothings happened to them, un"

"I think its pointless to worry about family, Brat" Sasori told him, crushing Deidara mentally.

"Yeah, It's stupid to care, shit head" Hidan laughed.

Deidara soured at the comments but then smirked, "And I'm not going alone" He was under the influence of an uncontrolable smirk.

The other Akatsuki members looked at each other and then back at Deidara, lost.

"You all are coming with me" Deidara laughed like a maniac.

(and if your wondering, Zetsu and Tobi...um...are doing something else...there just not here)

--A LOT of time later--

"I don't believe this" Hidan complained, "Why the Hell are we going with you?" he then looked down at his bare shoulders, "And WHY THE F- AREN'T WE WEARING OUR COATS??"

"Whats the matter Hidan, un? Feeling Naked?" Deidara laughed at him.

"Shut the hell up, shit head" Hidan growled.

"Are we there yet, brat?" Sasori asked, annoyed, "This is taking to long"

"Sorry, were almost there, un" Deidara told them.

None of them wore their Akatsuki coat and looked like regular ninjas, they did have their travaling hats though.

"Tell me again why Leader-sama decided this?" Itachi asked Deidara.

"I don't know why, un, he just did" Deidara replyed as they walked up to large stone gates, "Finally, we're here"

They walked up, and as they did, Deidara noticed an old friend of his.

Kozue Lee was leaning against the stone gate, waiting for anyone to come his way. His Silver hair hung in front of his face in strands, and his hair was still to his shoulders, Goggles hanging from his neck, he had a simmilar outfit to the one when he was younger, His shirt was now white, his pants were solid grey and his Ninja band around his left shoulder.

"HALT" He lifted his left hand to them, "Are you friend or Foe?" he asked them.

"Kozue-san, you should know me as a friend, un" Deidara spoke up.

Lee stood there for a moment before speaking again, "Deidara?" he walked over to the group, walked up to Deidara, "Deidara, is it really you?"

"Yes, un, It's me" Deidara chimed.

Lee lifted his hands and touched Deidara's face, "You haven't changed a bit"

"Whats that dude doing?" Hidan asked, kind of disgusted.

"If I remmember correctly, that was the blind Ninja that showed us Deidara, Right Itachi-san?" Kisame asked him.

"Yes, Kisame, thats him" Itachi nodded.

"Who are they? And why are they here?" Lee asked turning his body towards the rest of the Akatsuki.

"They're in the same organization I'm in, un" Deidara answered, "We're here to take a little break"

"Great, Makito's going to burst when he finds out your back" Lee turned to the gate and lifted his left arm, getting one other ninja on the gate's attention to open it, "I guess you've come a long way?"

"You could say that, un" Deidara laughed.

"Whatever, shitheads" Hidan sighed, groggy.

"I can already tell that the one that curses alot is annoying" Lee said to Deidara.

Hidan was held back by Kakazu.

"Anyway, I'll treat you all to lunch" Lee nodded as they all walked threw the gate.

--a little later (whats up with these 'later' things?)--

The Akatsuki members had told Lee their names and their villages, thats all they told him.

"Hey Deidara, How did you end up with these weirdos?" Lee asked Deidara, sounding bored.

"You know how that happend, un" Deidara scowled, "Things around here seem the same"

"Yeah, except the small fact that your mom is now the head of the hospital, your brother is always running out on missions and Lynn..." Lee stopped.

"Yeah, what happened to Lynn?" Deidara asked egarily.

"Lynn was that girl who tried to stop you from leaving, right?" Kisame asked.

"She didn't do a very good job of it, un" Deidara soured at him.

"You know, brat, no would stop you" Sasori told him.

"Besides Makito, Lynn's missed you more than us, we thought she was going to break down" Lee told him, "But she's kept herself occupied with her skills and she finally became the head of her house hold, and she's Tsuchikage"

Deidara chocked on what ever was going down his throaght. Kisame knocked Deidara on his back and what ever he was choking on flew out and hit Hidan's head, splattering all over him.

Hidan got up to kill Deidara, but was forced down by Kakazu again.

"How did she get that position?" Deidara asked, in utter shock.

Lee shrugged.

"The same way I know about your little oraganization, Deidara" They heard her Ice-like voice.

They all looked up at the jet black haired woman, she was gifted, she had a black kimono with a pink dragon traling it, a Maroon obi and a black fan that had the character 'Earth' in pink.

Lee and Deidara didn't look, they cringed.

"It's been a while Deidara" she whispered in his ear, Her voice was like Ice cutting his spine, making him bleed, "How have you been?" she placed her hand on his shoulder, she had grown her nails out and sharp, color was black.

"G-G-Good... And how are Y-y-you, un?" Deidara stuttered.

"I've never seen him do that" Sasori whispered to Itachi and Kakazu.

Itachi sighed, "Theres a first for everything"

"I presume your Lynn" Hidan growled at her, "I think your a bigger shithead than him" Hidan glared at Deidara.

Deidara was waving his hands to Hidan, trying to save Hidan from total devistation. Hidan just stared at him confused.

Lynn pushed Deidara out of the way and reached herself over the table, "My name is Amarante Lynn, You better keep yourself in tune, I'm not afraid to hunt and kill men" her green eyes glared at him, they looked like an inclosed space that could tear his soul apart...even if he was eternal.

Hidan gulped, this woman was creepy, more creepy than him.

"Understood?" she stood back up.

Hidan's eyes were wide and terrified.

"Thats new too" Sasori sighed.

"Your next on my list, red head" Lynn glared at Sasori and Sasori glared back.

"So...Lynn...how did you know we were here, un?" Deidara asked, scared to death.

Lynn sighed, "I know everything that goes on in my village, I will do anything to protect it" she iced her voice perfectly, she was like a hot witch, suductive yet evil, "and I hope you all plan on NOT causing any distruptions while your here?"

Deidara nodded, " of course, No distruptions, un"

"Good, I'll see you boys later" She practicly slithered out.

Deidara, Lee and Hidan gave a sigh in relief.

"Why didn't you tell me she WAS F-ING CREEPY?" Hidan yelled at Deidara.

"I tried but you did insult her anyway, un!" Deidara hit his fist on the table.

"Why don't you guys just give it a rest?" Lee butted in, "She'll kill you anyway"

"Great" Deidara sighed "Just what I wanted to hear"

--outside--

A blonde haired boy watched them from the roof of the building acrossed from where Deidara and the rest of them were eating.

He had a black coat over his shoulders and the hood of it over his head, he was squating, watching their every move. A tap next to him made his blue orbs stare at Lynn, who had jumped up and joined him.

"You like that?" She smirked to him, "He's back"

"I see that" the boy answered, he was unemotional and bitter.

"I need you to do me a favor" she told him, "I know you want to see Deidara, but this mission comes first"

"What do you need me to do, Tsuchikage-sama?" the boy asked, standing up.

"I need you to get my five students from the land of mist" Lynn told her, "Tell them that their idols have come, like I'd foreseen"

"Yes ma'am" the boy nodded and with a puff of smoke, was gone.
