Hinata felt like curling up into a ball, that, or screaming. She felt her cheeks steadily burn up, a rather violent looking blush making its way onto her pale skin.Her shyness was an embarassment, and her embarassment made her even more shy. It was a vicious circle. A shaking hand moved to her mouth as she glanced across at the pinkette with her large lilac eyes. It would be rude to purposely ignore the other, that was obvious, so the blue-haired teen tried to suck it up. Her hand moved back to her bag, as she took in a breath to collect herself. Thankfully, as soon as she opened her mouth to reply, her cheeks cooled down considerably.

"O-Ohayou, Sakura.." she stuttered, her voice quavering even as she attempted to keep it level. As they continued to walk down the sidewalk, Hinata's gaze slowly left the other's face. It was hard, bringing up the courage to even say something as simple as that. However, a little smile spread onto her lips, hidden from the pinkette's view by her long hair. To Hinata, something like that was a great achievement, and she knew that Rock Lee would be proud of her for being so brave. He was always proud of her, and often bought her presents. Incidentally, those presents sometimes made Hinata so embarassed that she passed out during school hours by a rush of blood to the face. That just spurred more remarks about her, and even about her friend. Their classmates could be so cruel.

Nothing is as beautiful as what is fleeting.

1...2.…3.….KABOOM!

Deidara’s aqua blue eyes snapped open as his alarm clock across the room exploded into a pile of smoking ashes. From downstairs he heard his mother yell at him, something about getting up without destroying something. Yawning quietly, he sat up, running a hand through his just past shoulder length blonde hair. Looking around the room as if expecting to see something, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Slipping out of bed, he grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom, taking a shower. Even though he was male, Deidara took great pride in his appearance, in so, took a bit of time in the bathroom. After showering he pulled on dark blue jeans and a short sleeve black shirt, tugging the school’s jacket on and not buttoning it. He brushed his hair and pulled his hair up in the usual style, part of his hair in a ponytail while the rest was left down. He put on dark mascara and nail polish.

He was going to be late, but that didn’t matter, he’d probably just ditch his first class anyways. Go see if he could find Itachi, perhaps. Maybe cause some mischief early today. Putting on his shoes, he pulled his back over his shoulder and trotted out. He couldn’t drive to school, parents wouldn’t let him own a car, so explodable to trust the blonde with.

Surprisingly he wasn’t late! He made it with ten minutes to spare so he trotted up the school steps, starting his search for the other members of Akatsuki.

Sakura's smile grew when Hinata answered back, but it took her a few moments. She blushed a large amount of the time, but she was just... shy. Hinata didn't seem like a people person but she was such a sweetheart. Sakura wished she could be even half as nice as her, but the angry side of the pinkette shone through much of the time. She needed to work on that; her anger. It caused such a scene all the time and it embarrassed Sakura but she couldn't let anyone else know that. She liked being known for her strength, but it was often her downfall. It was hard for her to make new friends because of the rapidly spreading drama that happened so often. The girl sighed inwardly and she smiled to Hinata again.

"We don't talk enough. We've known each other for a while but we've barely held a conversation, you know?" she stopped there, not wanting to make the girl... faint? Would that even make her faint? Probably not, but Sakura never knew. Hinata fainted and blushed at the strangest things. Like a few moments ago, for example. The pinkette didn't know what else to say anyway, so hopefully Hinata would understand that she wanted to be friends. The more friends, the better right? Exactly. No one liked to be alone and isolated and friends were the perfect cure for such. Sakura knew that for a fact. There were many nights when Sakura would invite Ino over just so someone was there with her at home. Sure, she liked the feeling of being home alone but sometimes it was scary. Like when the power went out.

Sakura shook her head lightly and she looked back to Hinata, a smile moving to her face again. She walked up the school steps and opened the door and walked in. She held it open for Hinata after entering the building.

Itachi couldn't remember a time when he had ever been glad to get to school. The dark-haired male had woken up at least half an hour later than his brother, Sasuke, who had already disappeared from the house. A long, frustrated, sigh left his lips as hands moved to rub at impossibly tired eyes. He never found it easy to sleep, no matter where he was, but his own home seemed to merely irritate his insomnia. All in all, counting a few tiny naps, Itachi had probably slept about an hour and a half, give or take a few minutes.

With another angered sigh, Itachi's hand flung out to the bedside table. Long, slender fingers grasped a cellphone, which he brought infront of his face. The raven haired male's eyesight was terrible in the mornings, as his vision never had time to adjust from his lack of sleep. Squinting slightly, he stared at the screen of his phone. Apparently there had been five misses calls and plenty of texts, half of them from people that the elder Uchiha brother just didn't know. One name stood out however, Deidara. A little too hurriedly for his own liking, Itachi found himself pressing buttons in an attempt to see just what this text was about. Turns out it was about precisely nothing, it was just some sort of chainmail thing.

"Dammit.." he hissed, not truly understanding why he always got so worked up about the dumb blonde. It was with a rather strange feeling resting in his chest that Itachi readied himself for school. In ten minutes, he was done, and journeyed out the house in a leisurely manner. He reached the school gates just in the nick of time, about five minutes early infact. His leisurely stroll continued into the building itself, slightly slowed by the fact he was doing his hair. There had been no time to fix it at home, nor had he wished to listen to his uncle shouting at him to hurry up any longer.

Like a nightlight,
You're beautiful.

She wasn't too sure how to respond, and her gaze moved back down her feet as they neared the building.It took her whole might not to blush or cover her face as the other expected an answer from her. The blue-haired girl always felt so very under pressure when anyone partially unknown to her asked her a question, slightly rhetorical or not.It was with slowed steps that Hinata replied with an impossibly quiet, "I'm sorry.". Her mind had gone blank as soon as she had heard the questioning tone in Sakura's voice, the same way it did when the teacher demanded something of her in class. It was frustrating sometimes, yet it always happened, no matter what.

Hearing the door infront of them creak open, Hinata hurried her footfalls. A light blush graced her cheeks as her pale arm reached for the door, reading to take the burden off the other. Having others do things for her, like nearly everything else in the whole world, embarassed the shy teen even further. " T-Thankyou.." she mumbled, trying to meet the pinkette's gaze. Of course, she failed to hold her vision's position for more than a few seconds, but it was better than nothing. Maybe it would be nice to have more than one friend. It wasn't as if Sakura was a bad person or anything.

Sakura heard a small "I'm sorry" from the girl and she smiled, "Don't say you're sorry. There's no reason to be." when Hinata's hand was on the door Sakura still held it some, but let go when she was in the building. Sakura adjusted her bag as she walked into the school, "You're welcome." she said softly as she walked along, hoping Hinata would stay with her. If not it wouldn't bother her, she would see her in the hall again anyway. Sakura turned to walk backwards so she could face Hinata. She grinned when they made eye contact for a few seconds and continued to grin when the bluenette looked away. Sakura was glad that Hinata was a friend now, she would be a good one to have.

The pinkette put her hand behind her back and linked her fingers together. She was a pro at walking backwards, but her clumsiness usually got the best of her. She hadn't run into anyone in a while and the last person that she did run into didn't mind, so she was fine. The petite girl smile, "So... maybe you can crash at my place one night." she offered. What was better than a sleepover to kick off a good friendship? When she and Ino first met they were inseparable. They had extra sets of clothes at the others house even. Sakura's smile never left her face; maybe all the girls could stay the night soon. That would be fun.

Temari yawned, covering her mouth with her left hand while stretching her right hand above her head. If she wasn't wearing so much make-up, someone would be easily able to tell she had stayed up all night, with the bags underneath her eyes. She had driven to school today, after dragging her brothers out of bed and forcing dinner down their throats. But hey, only a year more and she'd get her own place, not one her dad buys just because he's tired of his kids. No need for her to dwell in the past though. Temari entered the high school, trying not to rub at her sleep deprived eyes. Maybe she'd just sleep through first class, nothing ever went on in there she couldn't get on her own.

Hoping to get a bit of a caffiene buzz, Temari approached the vending machine and fished a dollar out of her giant purse. It was black, made out of some sort of fabric that was most likely just a combonation of every other type. The handles were connected to the bag by giant silver loops, which had half a million funky little charms on each. They made a tiny little clink eaverytime she tok a step, which was annoying to some and a warning to others. Sticking the bill in the machine, she hit the button to get a cherry cola. The machine slowly came to life, depositing on bottle into the little hole in such a way that it took a minute just to get it out of the machine. Temari cursed under her breath, then pulled out the bottle. Knowing the bottle would explode if she opened it right now, she shoved it into her purse. Running her fingers through her sandy blonde hair, which today she deciding to put into one ponytail instead of four, Temari tried to find something to do or someone to talk to.

It sort of felt like something inside her had exploded. A dazed look passed across Hinata's eyes as the other spoke to her. She was being invited to stay at someone else's house. Nothing like this had ever been mentioned, or even thought of. The closest that she had ever come to a sleepover was staying over at her cousin's one night when she had misplaced her house keys. Even then, the dark-haired girl had found it impossible to even think of sleeping, she had been too busy shaking steadily in the corner. How had she been supposed to know that Neji had been having other friends staying the same night, friends who smoked and drank alcohol. Everything that happened that night was either crystal clear or a complete blur, which wasn't too great a feeling.

"Oh, u-um, I...I..don't k-know if I could..". That was a truthful answer. Due to Hinata's fraility and lack of eating, her parents usually made her stay in on holidays and weekends. Rock Lee or Neji were the only people allowed to visit her, and they were often shooed out of the house before mealtimes.Her brows furrowed, but all sight of them was blocked by her incredibly thick fringe. Perhaps she could tell her parents that she was going to stay with her aunt, uncle and Neji for a while. That might work..

Deidara wandered the halls aimlessly for the most part. He said hi to a few friends, the ones who didn’t care that he was in the Akatsuki, which was not many. It was a real shame to, sure he broke rules and authority had no hold on him. But really, he was a nice guy all in all!

Sighing boredly, he was about to head off to the roof when he spotted his best friend. Visible blue eyes glittering up he dashed over, “Itachi, un! Good Morning, un.” He chirped when he fell in step with the raven’s stride. “I’ve been working on my latest prototype and I think it’s going to be better than the last one! I can show you later if you want, un.”

Sakura bit her lip and nodded. Well, it was worth a shot. Maybe her parents were uptight about people they didn't know. Or something like that. The pinkette smiled, nonetheless, and shrugged, "Oh well. Maybe you can soon, though." her smile turned in to a sideways grin. If Hinata's parents were uptight, Sakura could sneak her out of the house and have her back early in the morning. She'd done it before with Ino when she was grounded and they never found out. The pinkette grinned to herself as she watched the floor. After a few seconds, she looked back to Hinata, "So... what kind of hobbies do you have?" she asked. There was nothing else to start up a conversation, so this would have to be good enough. Hobbies were common grounds to find similarities with others.

Sakura thought about her own hobbies for the passing seconds. Reading, writing, studying, training... all the jazz. Nothing too out of the ordinary. She did like cooking, even though she was horrible at it. The only thing that she was good at cooking are things that come with printed directions on them. She never had much of an eye for cooking anyway, but she would like to learn something for when she lived alone. Hell, she practically already did but... that was a different story. Her parents still bought her food and whatnot, so all was well until senior year~

She continued her backwards stride as she looked back to the bluenette with a smile.

The dark-haired male was completely unfazed by his friend's sudden appearance, or at least that's what it looked like from the outside.It was only with Deidara, that on occasion, he would let down the angry front that he had created. No one needed to know what the real Itachi was like, the Itachi who was insecure just like every other teen. He merely glanced over at the blond as he spoke, only half listening to what the other was the trying to tell him. Something about a new prototype, he gathered that much.

"Sure,whatever." he replied stoicly, before a rather loud yawn emitted from his mouth. A slender hand moved up to try and cover the fact, but it was too late. God, how he hated getting up early for school. Well, not so much getting up, but getting out of bed. He always found it simpler to sleep during the day, yet at school, it never seemed to be possible. If it wasn't teachers waking him up or finding him and the rest of the Akatsuki goofing off, it was Deidara forcing him to do something with him. However, spending time with the blond wasn't a bad thing, not at all..

The mention of hobbies made Hinata's stomach churn. Her frown deepened in thought, her hands moving to fiddle with the hem of her skirt. Talking about herself was nerve-wracking, that was for sure. With a heavy intake of breath, Hinata glanced over in the vague direction of the other before replying. It was difficult, but the blue-haired girl now knew that she really did want to be friends with Sakura, even if it was hard for her to build up the courage to speak. She knew that Rock Lee liked Sakura too, so that most definately wouldn't be a problem.

"I-I, I like painting and..sewing.." she stated, her voice a little louder and more confident sounding than usual. Art was one thing that Hinata felt she really excelled at, and she had often been complimented on her skills. At least, that's what she assumed, she could only remember passing out in the art studio. Those were the only things she could think of that she truly enjoyed, as most of her time at home consisted of doing chores or homework.That, and standing infront of the mirror, trying to build up some charisma and charm. However, Hinata always found herself blushing and feeling faint at the mere thought of being to the one to spark up a conversation...

Deidara knew that Itachi wasn’t listening much, and didn’t mind a bit. If he ever had the Uchiha’s total infazing attention, he would probably die of utter shock. Literally. Besides, Itachi was his friend and that worked for him, he didn’t need any more than that from the raven, and he didn’t ask for it.

“Alright, un! Oh, yah, hey, I have history first period and I don’t think I’m gonna go, un. Are you going to class, cause if you aren’t I’m hanging out on the roof and scoping out the best areas.” He explained animatedly with a bright smile. He was usually chipper, not really finding a reason not to be. After all, he did what he wanted and had fun doing it, so why not enjoy life while it was here?

[Ishii_ Emi]

A needle into a bug,
A needle into a bug,
A needle..

That was a bit of a dumb question. The Akatsuki usually missed any lessons which involved any type of work or thinking. Sports and sometimes Art were the only things which they attended in large numbers. In response to Deidara's chipper, as usual, speech, Itachi just gave a light shrug. Staying on the roof was better than nothing, plus, the teachers hardly evern checked up there. Most of them were wimps and were scared of heights, or the like. One or two of them were evern scared of the gang. It was pathetic.

"It's not like I have anything better to do.." he mumbled in reply, before setting off towards the stairs. The other would follow, of course, like some sort of hyper little puppy. Sometimes the blond's attitude was a little sickening, but other times Itachi found himself feeling very different about it. On ocassion, the raven haired male found the other male's outlook on life a little endearing. However, no one was ever going to know that, especially not Deidara. It was just hormones, all of it.

Like a nightlight,
You're beautiful.

Sakura smiled; art, huh? Wait... she was stuttering. But she always stuttered. It didn't bother Sakura, but she knew that everyone knew of Hinata's shyness mainly because of that. "You seem like the artsy type." she said, her voice having a happy pitch to it. She was finally waking up more. Her eyes moved to the clock above them; only a few minutes before first block. Sakura smiled to Hinata and gave her a friendly wink, "My first class is on the other side of the building. I'll meet up with you later, alright Hinata-chan?" she stopped walking backwards and went forward, giving Hinata a small wave as she walked passed her.

This would be an interesting day, to say the least. A new friend, but boring classes with people that had no clue as to what was going on. Fun. Her smile fell after she was a few steps away from Hinata. She really loathed her classes, most of them anyway. Algebra II first, then chemistry, english, and gym last. A sigh fell from the pinkette's lips as she continued walking, her eyes forward and her hand by her sides. Her first class would be "a drag," quoting Shikamaru.
