Deidara had been a walking disaster back in the day which was one of the two reasons why her mother had started teaching her how to work with their Kekkei Genkai.

Well, that and if she didn't learn how to regulate and release her explosive chakra, she would have transformed into the human equivalent of the atom bomb. Which was why as soon as she turned five did she start training. It had started off with standing outside with Deidara attempting to touch things without them blowing up and had increased in difficulty respectively until she was at her current point.

As of now, Deidara was trying to see how many things she could charge up without making them explode and attempting to create a timed explosion - almost like a grenade.

Which wouldn't be hard if it didn't require her utmost concentration and if her idiot of a brother wasn't trying his hardest to distract her via their mother's instructions.

Frowning as she heard the incessant whir and babble of whatever her brother was doing, the young blonde quickly stood up and flung the rock she had been holding straight up into the air. Watching as it exploded with a sharp crack, she whirled around and glared daggers at her elder sibling.

"What," She growled out, cerulean eyes narrowing with poisonous intent as she surveyed his empty hands. "are you doing to make that infernal noise?"

Hiei smirked and gave a slight whistle clearly intent on not telling her what she wanted to know and Deidara fumed.

Marching over the young blonde scowled at him and clenched her hands into tight fists.

"Open your hands up yeah!" She hissed at him and when his palms were shown to be bare she felt her eyebrow twitch. "Empty your stupid pockets too!"

And so with a smirk, her brother did as she said, but when her search turned up to be for naught she scowled and grabbed a hold of his shirt, effectively lighting it on fire.

The asshole didn't even blink as he put it out.

Scrubbing a hand down her face, Deidara stood and reached down towards the ground to pick up her pair of seal covered black gloves. Slipping them on, she looked towards her mother and pouted.

"He's no help at all," She grouched. "and for the love of all things holy, take whatever he's using to make that noise away before I make half of his face explode yeah."

Her brother glared at her but she dutifully ignored him.

"I'll make sure your nii-chan finds another way to distract you, dear." Her mother promised, before turning to look at Hiei. "It was quite annoying, Hiei, hand it over to mommy."

Smirking when she heard her brother whine out a peeved 'kaa-chan' Deidara took off. She had about ten minutes before she was due at the academy but she knew she'd make it in time, she was rather quick on her feet.

In fact, she was at the doors within five.

Pushing them open, she strolled inside and down several halls before she was standing in front of a classroom. Turning the knob the six-year-old blonde entered the class filled with kids her age and up and took her seat in the far back next to a familiar raven-haired girl.

"So what did I miss," She asked curiously. "Kurotsuchi."

Said girl turned brown eyes to her and she snorted.

"Nothing much." She admitted. "Just a bunch of idiots being complete idiots jackasses."

Abruptly Deidara snorted and sent her friend an amused look.

"Sounds like a normal day then yeah." She snickered. "Do you think another one of them will stab themselves in the leg with a kunai?"

Kurotsuchi's eyes twinkled with an unholy glee and the blonde felt her affection for the girl by exponential proportions.

"Maybe." She mused with an impish grin. "Only if we're really lucky, especially since lessons have gotten boring as hell lately. Thank god we get to graduate soon, else I'd kill myself."

Deidara nodded sympathetically.

"You ain't lying Kuro," She hummed as she kicked her feet up onto the desk. "I wish sensei would hurry up and get to the more interesting shit."

And funnily enough, just as soon as she finished that sentence the man in question practically phased into being behind her and with a jump, the Bakuton user turned in her seat to peer up sheepishly.

"O-oh Juuri-sensei!" She squeaked out as Kurotsuchi stared resolutely down at her toes. "We were just discussing how much we loved the pacing in class! It really gives everyone the chance to get on the same level!"

Dark eyes stared at her as an even darker brow quirked upwards and Deidara grimaced.

"Yeah, that was pretty weak hm." She muttered as she visibly deflated. "I'll just shut up now."

The tall ninja shot her a single side eyed look as he pushed her legs off of the desk and she pouted at the unspoken chastisement.

"When you make jounin then you can put your feet on my desks," He told her drolly as he continued onto the front of the room and Deidara mocked him silently word for word.

Tilting her head to the side to avoid the senbon he threw her way at her disobedience, she wondered when the day where she could get away with being a mouthy little shit would come and glared down at her sensei.

"You could have killed me!" She growled out as she plucked the metal out of the wall and with a flick of her wrist sent it needling back at her teacher.

"If I wanted to I would have." He said and beside her Kurotsuchi snorted, prompting Deidara to elbow her harshly in the side - the dang traitor.

"You keep this up and I'll tell my mother on you." She purred out and then smirked when Juuri-sensei paused - Bakuhatsu no Kasai was to be feared and everyone knew it.

"I didn't know you were in the habit of running to mommy when things get a little hot." He said as he turned to face the board with a piece of chalk in hand. "I guess that shows more about your character than you're willing to admit."

Scowling now, Deidara sank into her seat and sniffed.

"He just don't want to admit that he's scared of my mom." She told Kurotsuchi and the girl sent her a look.

"Deidara," She said. "I think everyone is scared of your mom."

Breaking out into a sunny grin, the blonde tossed her long hair over her shoulder and shrugged a shoulder.

"I know! Isn't it great?" She giggled smugly. "I wanna be exactly like her when I'm older."

"I think you already are." The dark haired girl mumbled and Deidara gasped.

"I think that's the kindest thing you've ever said to me." She simpered. "If you keep this up I may think you actually like me or something."

Dark eyes rolled.

"Don't be an ass Dei-chan." Kurotsuchi sighed before she grinned. "You know I tolerate you at best."

"Wow what a charmer!"

"You're an idiot."

It's literally been like three years since I've updated this story.

I'm so sorry for leaving it for so long lol.
