Kadaj lay on his bed quiet as a mouse. he'd just left the Magma and joined the Akatsuki. He felt lonely inside. He already missed his little brother Sabin. He didn't know what life would be like now, but he knew it wasn't gonna be a walk in the park.

Pheonix opened Kadaj's room door. "What's wrong, you seem a little down." He walks in and waits for an answer he knows is gonna be filled with sarrow.

Kadaj looked at his old friend Phoenix. "Hello Pheonix. I'm just a little home sick, but I'll get over it. I just miss Sabin." He looks down. "Plus, I just betrayed my entire village. The ones who loved me and respected me will hate me. I feel so torn up inside."

Deidara walked into the room. "An Akatsuki never misses his old home. We have no feelings for those who are below us."

Kadaj looks at his leader. "I understand."

"Good, now stop sulking like a idiot." He looks at Pheonix. "Do you feel like sulking too?"

Kadaj looks Deidara at and holds back a sharp remark.

Deidara looks at Kadaj. "What's wrong Kadaj, you're not gonna cry on me are you?"

"Go to hell." Kadaj stands up and walks out the room.

Deidara puts his hand infront of the door stopping him from leaving. "Oh don't go, things are just getting interesting."

"Move Deidara."

"And if I don't?"

Kadaj stares Deidara staright in the eye. "Get the hell out of my way."

Deidara smiles. "That's a little dark for you isn't it. And to think all along I thought you were a little pussy cat."

Kadaj balls up his fist and punches Deidara in the stomach.

Deidara bends over with pain. Then comes back up and punches Kadaj in the stomach. "I didn't make Akatsuki Leader by writing an essay you know. You're fighting the wrong one."

Kadaj hits the ground. Blood seeping from his mouth. The blow was more than he exspected. It was like a baseball bat crashing into him full force.

Come on Kadaj, I thought you were tougher than that. Oh well, I'll get over it." He starts for the door. "Maybe you should choose who you decide to pick a fight with more wisely. If you don't one day you might get killed." He walks out.

Kadaj tries to stand up but the pain is too unbarable. He coughs up more blood. Maybe fighting Deidara wasn't such a great idea after all.

Pheonix stared at Deidara fo a while then walked over to Kadaj. "You okay?"

Kadaj stands up. "Not really, but I can manage."

Pheonix backs up a little. "If you say so." He looks at the door. "What are you gonna do now?"

Deidara walks back tinto the room. "I have an assignment for the two of you. Find Suri and head out to the Stealth and kidnap Tenkuu."

"That's Jutsumaster's kid...why do you want her?"

entering kadaj's room,is tiso. ''i'll do it....and i'll do it alone.''
