I Own You Chapter 16 Part 1

"Wake up, Ayame! It's the 4th of July un!" an excited voice shouted in her ear.

"YEESH! Deidara, how did you get in here?!"

"The door un."

"Whatever," she said, sitting up in bed, anyways, what's the big deal about 4th of July? It's just the anniversary of when we won our independence from British rule."

"It's not that. Today's the one day of the year that i can express my art freely un." he replied happily, with a big grin on his face.

"You mean besides everyday?" Deidara pouted.

"You really kill a moment don't you?" But his grin returned anyways, and he slipped out the door, no doubt to spread the good word to the other members.

"Oh God," an aggravated voice groaned from beside Ayame, "Today is gonna be Hell." She turned her head to a shirtless Sasori who was rubbing his face tiredly while propped on one elbow.

"Why is that?"

"Because, Deidara gets overeager with things he's excited about." Sasori explained to her.

And overeager he was.  When Ayame and Sasori finally dragged themselves out of bed, threw some clothes on, and trooped downstairs, they could see Deidara practically bouncing off the walls in excitement, clearly annoying the shit out of everyone who was in the living room. Sasori settled himself into his rocking chair while Ayame sat down at the dining room table, gladly taking the toast that Tobi offered.

"I'm so excited!" Deidara's voice was heard from the living room, "they're going to shoot fireworks at the park! I can't wait to blow up some of my own un!"

"Oh no!" Pein's voice corrected, "Not after what happened last year!"

"Why? What happened last year?" Ayame asked him as she entered the living room (with Tobi happily following behind). Ayame climbed into Sasori's lap as he slowly started rocking in his chair, the wood making quiet harmonic creaks as it did so.

"Just some small mishap." Deidara muttered sheepishly, looking down at the floor.

"SMALL?!" Every member shouted (excluding Tobi).

"You blew up an entire city block!" exclaimed Pein, "They had to call in every police chief and fire marshal within 50 square miles! Even the U.s. Army was there! They thought it was a terrorist bombing!"

"Not to mention the people you hurt." Konan added.

"At least it was nobody we knew." Deidara mumbled, his eyes still fixed to the floor.

"Whatever, you're not going. None of us are." announced Pein.

"Aww, c'mon. Please un?"

"No."

"Please un?"

"No."

Please un?"

"No."

"Please un?"

Everyone sat themselves down, watching Leader and Deidara go back and forth like a tennis match.

"No!"

"Please un?"

"NO!"

"Por favor un?"

"What?"

"It's Spanish for 'please' un."

Oh, well in that case...NO!"

"PLEASE UN?"

"I can't take it anymore! For the love of Jashin, please say yes!" Hidan exclaimed.

"Hidan is right. Deidara is being more annoying than usual. Just let him attend this fireworks shoot-off or whatever." Itachi agreed.

"Yeah! What he said un!"

Pein sighed in defeat.

"Fine."

"YES! WOOHOO UN!" Deidara shouted in delight.

"But we're all coming with you, and keep the explosives to a maximum of a 5 feet radius!" Pein shouted the last part after Deidara, who was running upstairs, no doubt to get started on his 'art'.

Pein sighed again.

"I have a bad feeling about this." he mused. Konan put a hand on her partner's shoulder.

"We all do, Pein, we all do."
