Xantrex plopped onto the couch in the main room with a sigh. It felt good to be a teenager again. He'd finally gotten the age jutsu right, and he had tried it on himself after testing it on some....rather unwilling subjects. No doubt most of the other akatsuki would be wondering who the hell he was. He let a grin slide over his face. He felt much more alive than he had before and he was loving every second of it.

Deidara walked into the Main Room and nearly dropped the stack of papers that was in his hand. He'd been in his room planning on how to take down the Magma and Death before the end of the week because they had new Kages. "Who the hell are you, were you recruited?" He asked as he looked at the boy.

Xantrex looked at Deidara and chuckled. "Looks like not even you recognize me, huh? It's Xantrex, Dei." He sat back and waited for Deidara's reaction. Him wanting to be younger again wasn't the only reason he'd changed himself. He wanted to have a little fun with it too.

Deidara eyes narrowed. "And what exactly are you doing looking like a teenage brat," he asked. "What did you do?" Deidara stayed put until he crossed his arms and clasped his hands open and closed.

Xantrex shrugged, the grin remaining on his face. "I was trying out a new jutsu and decided to have a little fun." He couldn't help but think that Deidara was pissed at him for tricking him like that. Xantrex crossed his arms behind his head. "Why? You don't like it?" He asked with a grin.

Deidara took a step forward. "I'd advise you to wipe that grin off your face before I do it for you," he said coldly. Xantrex may have been one of his favorites but he was about to get his a foot up his ass. "And I don't care what you do in your room. You can shrink to the size of an egg and I wouldn't give a rats ass," he said. "Now keep playing. If this affects my plans in anyway, you're gonna regret it with your life."

The smile faded from Xantrex's face and he sighed, leaning forward and crossing his arms over his legs. "Cool it Dei, this won't interfere with your plans. I'm not some immature brat just because I look like one. I still retained my personality from before." A small smile crossed his face as he looked back at Deidara. "But I'm staying this way." Sitting back again, Xantrex crossed his arms. "So, any chance of finding out these plans of yours?" A pointless question of course, but he needed to do something to get back on Dei's good side. Especially with the knowledge of what happens to those on his bad side.

Deidara just looked at Xantrex. "For your sake I hope not," he said disgusted. "As for my plans, I'm going to the Death Valley for a while. I'm looking for a recruit there and he's coming whether he likes it or not." Deidara gave a small laugh. "Tag along is you wish."

(I posted in the Death already. Kymir started a thread, but I doubt he'd expect me.)

Xantrex gave a small grin. "Interesting. I'd be glad to tag along." Xantrex leaned back on te couch again. "When you plan on going?"

Deidara looked at Xantrex. "Now," he said as he headed for the door. "Try and keep up," he with a small glance at the now teen Akatsuki.
