"Hey Madara, I think someone's here for you." Deidara said popping his head into Sasuke's room. Upon seeing the food Sasuke immediately asked for a bite of the burger. Deidara looked at the food cautiously he held the burger out and watched Sasuke lean foreword. Deidara pulled the burger back and smiled. He taunted Sasuke for a minute who was about to get up out of bed, however Madara assured him he would get more food later. Deidara stuck out his tongue and smiled. "No! Go get your own food, this is my food. No food for you."

Deidara took another bite and watched as Madara slowly got up and walked out of the room, pausing briefly not to push his luck with Sasuke. Deidara bolted into the room; he spun as he grabbed the door to shut it behind him. He locked it and than grabbed an old dull-beige metal table to help block the way. "Naruto, get off the bed and go out the window, head over to Jiraiya. Here, don't forget your bag."

Deidara picked up the black and orange backpack then tossed it to Naruto who stood up. Naruto quickly whipped his bag on as Deidara looked out the door's window to see Madara starring back angrily. Madara turned away and Deidara sighed in relief. Sasuke sat up and looked at the lawyer but grabbed his boyfriend's arm, "Wait, Naruto. What the Hell is going on…?"

Sasuke didn't need to finish the sentence. The loud speaker of a police cruiser came over the air followed by someone's voice very clearly: 'Madara Uchiha, come out with your hands behind your head and we will not open fire.' Sasuke released Naruto arm and rubbed it gently. Deidara sighed pointing upwards like that's where the order came from, "That is what's up. It is my legal counsel that counts right now, and letting Naruto not be involved in any of this sounds a lot easier. Go!"

"Right, call me later!" Naruto said and quickly pecked Sasuke on the forehead as he opened a window and jumped out. Naruto landed crouched on his feet and took off running straight back for the tree line; the closer he was to it the farther he was from the police.

Deidara walked over slowly and closed the window locking it after Naruto had exited. Deidara sat down on the floor, half a burger going neglected in his hand, and watched as Sasuke turned in the bed and touched the pad of his foot to the cool floor and slowly slid off. He grasped the bed for stability and reached over grabbing the food. Sasuke quickly sat back down the rest of him falling down. He ate the burger and looked up at Deidara. "When someone hasn't eaten for two days prior, you give them your fucking food."

Tsunade watched him run across the lawn from the window of the room she had barricaded herself in. She sighed and went back to work with Kisame. "Take these and run, it's more important to keep that work safe, do you understand. We can't have these files falling into public hands, we don't need 500 wanna-be Orochimarus popping up."

"God, that'd be horrible." Kisame said opening up a window. He dug in his pockets and produced keys to his Hummer. "I'll call and tell Sasori when the files are safe and locked away. I'll tell him to relay the message. Here, give the key's to Sasuke, tell him to dive it to Black Bird."

"Okay." Tsunade said not questioning what Black Bird was thinking it was a gang from earlier reports. She shoved them away in her pockets, patted them quickly and watched Kisame bolt to the tree line. She quickly closed the window and sat down awaiting a knock from the police.

-(blAck bIrd)-

"Deidara, I'm going to kill you." Madara muttered as he slowly put his hands behind his head the fingers interlocked. Madara bit his lip, snorted gruffly through his nose and stepped outside. He had got three steps down against the pavement when two sets of hands grabbed him forcing him down to the ground. Madara was cuffed and dragged to his feet like anyone else. He was shoved in a police car, the door shut tight behind him. "God damn it."

The police quickly went into the building and knocked. Tsundae and Deidara un-barricaded the door and opened it to be swarmed with questions. Both however remained adamant that they were simply helping Sasuke, whom Deidara refused to let speak or be spoken to. After a half an hour of lawyer-ing, Deidara had managed to get the police away from both Sasuke and Tsunade and they were left alone to get Sasuke out of bed finally.

"I can… somewhat walk." Sasuke said as his grip around the bed frame tightened. After a few seconds he stood up fine and stretched his legs. Smiling the Uchiha grabbed his bag and thanked Tsunade on his way down to the bathroom. He quickly closed the door, dropped his bag of clothes, and rushed to the urinal. He sighed in relief at going to the bathroom for himself for the first time in days.

He finished, washed his hands and looked into the mirror. Sasuke's eyes were blood red; the lines of earthen tones over lapping in an intricate form, darkened spaces orbited the pupil. The dripping of the faucet woke him from the wonder of his own eyes. "Maybe Tsunade can order me blue contacts."

Sasuke stripped off his old clothes and put on some new ones, looking as dark as ever. He quickly left the bathroom and walked into the room where Deidara was saying his goodbye to Tsunade. Deidara stood up and looked at Sasuke. "There's press outside, I was going to escort you to the hummer, and Kisame left the keys for you. We're to go to Black Bird."

"You take the hummer and go to Black Bird, my boyfriend's across campus whom you kicked out. He's a little more important to me than Kisame's hummer." Sasuke bowed to both of them. He rose slowly and smiled. "I owe my life to you, plus Nagato and Sasori. Thank you."

"You're welcome." Deidara said thinking Sasuke was talking to him until he scoffed and walked out of the building into a cluster of reporters. He pushed through with microphones and cameras being shoved in his face. "What was Madara's motive for escape?" "What sickness befell you?" "Is it true that…"

Sasuke grabbed the microphone and looked straight at the little woman who was holding it, he face looked up at his and she paled. Sasuke whistled loudly letting the microphone go. "I'm going to say this once, and I hope your paying attention. Leave me alone. If you do not leave me alone, and leave my friends alone, I'm going to call that a major invasion of privacy. I will sue you until I own your stations, do you understand? And yes, I can do that, now fuck off."

Sasuke pushed out of the slightly shocked crowd and waved at Deidara who hopped in the Hummer after listening to the speech, making sure nothing out of the ordinary was involved. Sasuke walked openly, out in public, towards the Lit building and walked inside avoiding glares of people around him. He turned to his left and knocked on the door to Jiraiya's office. After a minute and hearing 'I don't know, hid!' the door opened to have Jiraiya in a nice suit look down at Sasuke. Jiraiya opened the door the rest of the way putting his finger to his mouth. He led Sasuke in then pointed to beneath his desk. Sasuke soft in movements climbed up on the desk completely silent. He gathered his breath than ducked his head down. "Boo!"

"Ah… Sasuke!" Naruto said and he scrambled out of the little hiding place. Naruto got to his feet only to be grabbed by Sasuke and flung into his grasp. Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto tightly and set his head softly at the base of his neck. Sasuke inhaled his scent of gum, shaving cream and the sweetened scent of sweat. His grip tightened against Naruto's back and his knuckles went white. "Sasu…ke?"

"Hi Naruto." Sasuke muttered softly barely looking over Naruto's shoulder with his crimson eyes. He constricted further and felt Naruto's hands grab his back squeezing him. Sasuke let go a bit to stare at Naruto and smile. He leaned in and whispered: "You know… I should drag you into a dark corner."

"Jugo wants to have a party to welcome you home." Naruto whispered back. Sasuke made a disappointed click with his tongue and sat down gingerly on the desk. "I don't like parties, Jugo knows that. Maybe I can sneak into the house from the ceiling window."

"Suigetsu mentioned that he already bought something for it, something big and expensive… and he was going to invite his girlfriend over." Naruto mentioned. His head swiveled behind Sasuke to Jiraiya who was just standing in the doorway with his back turned; he was observing the girl's walking by in short skirts. "And we should get Jiraiya to his desk before he starts hitting on 18 year olds."

"Probably." Sasuke got up interlocking his fingers with Naruto and walked over by Jiraiya. Naruto tapped on Jiriaya's shoulder and the perverted English Literature Dean snapped to attention with a large startled jump. Jiraiya composed himself by coughing and adjusting his tie like a respectable member of society. "Office is all yours."

"We'll be over for poker night. Later Jiraiya." Naruto waved as he and Sasuke walked hand in hand outside the building to the bustling campus. They were oblivious to the cameras taping them from yards away, Sasuke noted them quickly but dismissed the crews: "They're always trying to get a story. They should do one on how annoying new stations can be."

"Well, it's their job and you just happened to be the inheritor of a currently famous mass murderer. It'll die down in a month or so, just give it time. Hey, it's better than being dead." Naruto said shrugging slightly. Sasuke's phone went off, the thing was Sasuke's phone was in Naruto's pocket. Sasuke looked at Naruto who quickly handed over the phone, "I was out of minutes and Suigetsu kept wanting updates."

"It's okay." Sasuke looked at the iPhone screen and saw the picture of sharpened teeth with 'Piranha' over the top. Sasuke rolled his eyes before he answered sarcastically. "I died, get over it… We're walking home from the campus, what are you up to? You didn't destroy my room did you?"

"No, you asshole, your room's fine." Suigetsu asked a little bitter. "Jugo's been bummed because he finished his tattoo last night and you weren't there to see it. Also, you're boyfriend's not a depressing mess anymore is he? When did you get out?"

"About twenty minutes ago, after fighting through a hoard of police and new crews." Sasuke looked at Naruto who was walking besides him smiling. "I don't think he's that bad anymore. If something happened to Karin, you know you would become a depressing mess. What's up with Karin?"

"I don't know, I was going to see her." Suigetsu hung up his phone to point two fingers at the back of Naruto and Sasuke's heads. Sasuke turned around and sighed. He hung up his phone and shoved it away in a pocket. "She got a job yesterday. Slings hamburgers or something, I was going to put in the world's largest order and see how she handles it."

"For being her boyfriend, that's kind of an asshole thing to do." Naruto commented. Suigetsu shrugged and grabbed both of them around the shoulders making them walk with him. Naruto than noticed something, "Hey Suigetsu, why are you on campus? School doesn't get out for another minute."

"Isn't it obvious?" Sasuke asked and pointed to Suigetsu's wet hair, swim trunks with a tee-shirt and then told him about the chlorine smell. "Suigetsu's been up here with the swim team. Speaking of don't you have your meet in an hour or so?"

"I do, and my back is good enough, I was able to get in the water with the freshmen and show them some tricks instead of just trying to explain them. Hopefully, we'll place better than 12th this year for freshman. My freshman year we placed third, all thanks to me."

"He likes to go on about that." Sasuke noted. After a while the three friends arrived on college row and went into a small restaurant that was nearly empty. Behind the counter was a red head that went sour seeing them. Karin was about to tell them not to make trouble when Suigetsu began digging through his pockets. After a second he produced a small crushed flower that was decently intact. Sasuke nudged Naruto, "See, he only talks a lot of smack. Plus, he knows he doesn't have time to eat all that food."

"He'd attempt to eat that much food?" Sasuke nodded and Naruto was taken a back, somewhat impressed. Suigetsu quickly leaned over the counter and pecked Karin of the check before turning to Sasuke and Naruto. "Not a word. I have to go to my meet, tell Jugo I'll be home around five, five-thirty."

"Right." Sasuke mused watching the kappa walk out of the burger joint having done something completely out of his character. He walked up to Karin and waved. "I'm all better."

"Good for you, I'm all tired and have three hours of work." Karin muttered and checked to see if her boss was around. He was off in the back and out of ear shot. "I wouldn't eat here, the food's not that good. Go to the diner and bring me back cake."

"You just want cake." Naruto said. Karin flashed anger quickly making Naruto step back. "Alright, but, isn't it bad if we bring you cake. Aren't you supposed to show some loyalty to the job, pride in your work."

"I am a cashier at a burger joint, it's not even McDonalds… I couldn't give a shit. Hey don't laugh at me." Karin said quiet but strong. Sasuke and Naruto were both huffing trying not to burst out laughing. They just turned and left before they actually did. Outside they calmed down and joined hands and Sasuke began leading them down College Row. "Hey, Sasuke, where are we going?"

"I'm going to see Orochimaru, actually, if he's not home I'm just going to kick in his door. If he is, I do have a couple of questions." Sasuke said and walked down the street until he encountered a fire truck passing by him. He dropped Naruto's hands and rushed down the street to see the white house with purple accents going up in flames. "Holy shit."

"Oh, we started it." Orochimaru said sliding in next to Sasuke. "I'm very upset over it. Such a waste of a good house you know, but she had to go. So, all better are we?"

"Um, yea." Naruto finally caught up and grabbed onto Sasuke's arms. Sasuke broke his arm free and quickly shoved Naruto behind him just in case Orochimaru would start anything.

"I see it has taken affect, you're running much faster than he is now." Orochimaru pulled out one of his cards and a pen. "I don't have a home phone now, so if you or Itachi needs to contact me to chat, tea, or if an organ fails you need to call my cell."

Orochimaru held out the card and Sasuke took it. Orochimaru disappeared before them and was across the street pretending to freak out next to Kabuto. Naruto shook his head, "That guy is seriously creepy. Seriously."

-(black bird)-

"So, a special cell! I'm impressed, guard walk by every 15 minutes, reinforced walls, and no outside walls. You really went up and over the call for me." Madara yelled at the guard who had just walked by. He was laid out on the bed back in his orange jump suit, the mask resting comfortably on his face. "You know, you mind as well talk to me, it's not like your really going to stay silent for your shift, that'd be annoying."

Dead silence followed him. Madara sighed and rolled over. Being back in jail he had nothing to do: no cell mate and no outside sources were allowed in. He was even told earlier that his mail would be read to him and was not allowed inside the cell. He would have no visitors and would not be allowed out with the rest of the prisoners. Madara was finally learning why the phrase 'like a prison' is so terrible.
