Deidei looked to the side with a bright blush. "I just wanted to know, because I treat you like shit, all the time, un." she whispered, clenching her hands around the mug in her hand, having only taken a few sips from it. She wasn't big on cocoa, but it was warm, and she was so cold she was shivering. She just knew she was going to become sick. She knew it. Pulling her arms closer in towards her body, she crossed her legs, the sagging skirt wrinkling some and letting more water run from the air drying fabric.

Shikamaru stirred his tea a little bit, looking at the floor. "Nothing really phases me anymore." he said, with a tad bluntness. He eased up, however. "You have an apartment right?" he asked, just wanting to clarify that she had someplace to go. If not, he would offer her a stay.

Deidei shifted awkwardly. "Uh.... actually.... no, un." she muttered. "I was evicted the other night, because the Land Lord is against shinobi, un." she explained. "My things are currently in a storage container while I look for somewhere to stay, un." she shrugged, thinking over a list of places she could stay, maybe Ro-chan would let her crash again tonight? Her shivering worsened to the point she was practically shuddering, the cold clothing really beginning to get to her. So many things were going wrong in her life, the only thing that was a good thing right now was Ro-chan. Hell, even her pay check was going bonkers, having received a pretty hefty pay cut due to a natural disaster somewhere in Suna. Though Gaara had assured her he'd get that fixed. To put it bluntly, she was fucked.

Shikamaru knew this was coming, and after tonight he knew that Ro wouldn't want anything to do with Deidei until her aura changed. "I'll call Ro-chan and see if she's available for you to stay at her place. If not...you can crash here." he said, getting up and heading for the phone. He dialed it quickly, getting an answer the first ring. 'Yo.' "Hey." 'What do you want? Kinda busy.' "How are you busy on a Saturday? ...Wait, who are you busy wi--" 'Apartment's taken up for the night. BYE!' With that, the line died. Shikamaru hung up. "Looks like you're staying here."

Deidei suddenly felt uncomfortable. Shifting some she looked down. "Are you sure, un? I can always find somewhere else to crash...un." she offered, not wanting to intrude on him. After all, she already figured out that he like privacy, and she needed to get a change of clothes before... she sneezed. Shit. She was hoping she wouldn't get sick.

Shikamaru's attention was set when he heard the sneeze. "You're not exactly fit to be wandering out in the rain any longer." he stated, picking a very very long T-shirt out of a nearby drawer and throwing it to her. "You should probably change."

". . ." Deidei caught the shirt easily, standing in the same motion. "Why are you doing this for me, un?" she asked, her blue eyes filled with confusion. He really should HATE her for how she treated him, hell, shecould see a bruise from where she had thrown him against a wall earlier. Was there something wrong in his head or what? No one who she treated like she had him would turn around and take care of her... but he... Taking a step back she blinked, her mind working furiously as she tried to figure this whole thing out. "You should /hate/ me Shikamaru, un. You really should, un. I don't deserve being treated with kindness, un." and with that said, she dropped the shirt, turned on her heel and ran, flinging the door open as she slipped her shoes on, runnning out into the rain. She didn't understand it. Why was she falling for him?

Shikamaru watched as she ran. He felt a pang in his heart as he registered what she said. He picked up the shirt and sighed, turning to look out the kitchen window. He leaned his head against the cold glass, eyes looking toward the outside world. "I don't hate you, Deidei," he said quietly. "I don't hate you...because I'm in love with you."
But he didn't know what to do now. Most likely she would be running off to Ro's house for some comfort or advice as to why she felt like this, but he knew Ro was 'busy'. - Busy she was, she had managed to get Gaara back to her house for coffee and they had been talking. Talking awfully close to each other.

Deidei didn't go to Ro's. Instead she went to someone else she felt comfortable with. She had run to just outside the Akatsuki base, standing in the rain as she locked eyes with the red sharingan staring at her. "Itachi... un." she whispered. The Uchiha smirked a bit. He knew she wasn't here to re-join. "Let's walk and talk." he offered, leading her off to the woods, where the other memberswould know to leave them alone, after all, he had been her fall guy when she was upset, the others didn't know how to deal with girl issues. ~~~ Gaara shrugged, taking a sip of his tea as he listened to her talk, giving the occasional reply. It was nice to know that she wasn't actually a slut.

Shikamaru was hoping nothing was going to happen to Deidei. He picked up the phone again and dialed Ro's number to ask if she was there. "This is such a drag..." -- "It's bothersome, how closed minded a lot of people can be. they just can't see past their own selves, you know?" Ro's philosophy statements were interrupted by her iPhone ringing AGAIN. She sighed. "Sorry, hold on a sec..." she plucked the phone from the table and answered it. "again, shikamaru? What's the problem?" 'Is Deidei over there? She walked out.' "Ha-ha." 'Now funny, she'll get hurt.' "Alright, calm down. Where'd she go off to? Because she's not over here."

Gaara frowned. "What's going on?" he inquired, wondering if he could help at all. Stupid Kazekage habits. ~~~~~ Deidei sat awkwardly, having been ultimately discovered by the other members and dragged back to the base to have tea and talk. God, they had all missed her hadn't they. Zetsu fought with himself over if she should join again or not while Sasori showed her a new puppet and Deidara tugged on her sleeve, trying to get her to take a stachel of clay for when she was to leave. Itachi rattled off advice and Hidan prattled off redemtionspeeches while Kakuzu wanted to know if her bank account was in order. Her head was swimming, trying to answer all these questions the best she could.

Ro put the phone down back on the stand next to her. "Deidei walked out on him and he's all worried." she explained. She propped her elbow on the arm rest beside her and leaned her head on her knuckles. "That girl is so temperamental..." -- Shikamaru, feeling stupid enough, had grabbed his raincoat and headed for the door. He second guessed his actions momentarily but disregarded it, and ran out to find Deidei before anything happened.

Deidei was getting nervious. It was pretty obvious that they were scrambling to delay her... but for what. Her mind clicked after a second when she heard the door slam and an angry shout. SHIT. Recalling Kisame's words she felt the color drain from her face. THey were going to force her to join again... ". . . Deidei?" Pein's voice came from the doorway. The girl stood and bowed. "I'm sorry for the intrusion Pein-sama, un. I just came to see if Kisame had made it home safely, un, but it appears he's not here, un." she explained rushed, the other members not denying or supporting the lie. She was in deep shit if he didn't buy it. ~~~~ Gaara felt his shoulders tense. "Deidei ran out on him... and she's not here. There's no one else for her to go to but..." he let the sentance trail off, trying to convince himself that she had NOT been that stupid and that she was at a restaraunt or something. That had to be it... not the Akatsuki.

Ro sighed and cracked open an eye. "She's off at the Akatsuki..." she sighed, rolling her eyes toward the ceiling. "Stupid girl...she's going to get her butt kicked." She felt almost bad for being so blunt, but... "Shikamaru better save her ass." -- Shikamaru stumbled upon something suspicious only a little while later, from within he heard shouting. "The akatsuki..." he said quietly to himself. Somehow, he managed to sneak in and conceal himself within the shadows. (mission impossible: DeiShika edition )

Pein didn't seem too happy to see her. Cursing the others for not allowing her to leave earlier she kept her eyes on the floor, not on Pein, in case he might see something he didn't like. Pein growled. "You had the audasity to come back here? Are you considering joinng again?" he asked, if she was, then it wasn't too bad... "No, un." That did it. His hand lashed out, catching her across the cheek and drawing a small line of blood. She flinched but otherwise did nothing. "I need to leave, un." she said sternly. Pein glared at her. He wasn't going to let her. Everyone could feel that. He wanted her to join, or for her to die. ~~~~ Gaara nodded, crossing his arms over his chest. She wouldn't fight back against Pein... she couldn't. He had beaten submission into her and there was no way she could fight back on her first encounter with him in five years. If that Nara boy didn't save her, she'd die.
