{Video Post - ACCIDENTALLY PUBLIC - Week 1 Day 3}
[When the feed starts, it's at a strange angle--tilted up, as though Sakura is not interested in keeping her face center but rather on speaking into the receiver. What can be seen, though, is this: steam, and Sakura's hair pinned up away from her neck, slightly damp from humidity. That and she's wearing a very peeved expression. The flush across

Admittedly, he doesn't love her anymore, but she is still an attractive woman. And it's a bit of a pity that he never did get the chance for there to be a next time.
...The steam is also quite lamentable.]
Having a bit of trouble, Sakura? I see these obnoxious little creatures are afflicting Konoha as well.
I don't think it's wise of you to rely on that perverted teacher, however. Self-discipline doesn't appear to be his strong point.
...I suppose I could take time out of my busy schedule to assist you though, as a favor to my former wife. You already know that my control is quite impeccable, after all.
No strings attached, of course, if you'll pardon the pun.
[Even if making use of his strings when Sakura is in such a compromising situation could be quite

No, I think I'll be fine. Thanks.
[That last could not have been more sarcastic if she'd tried.]

Now now, no need to be shy. It seems clear that you can't handle this little problem on your own.
You were almost always conscientious about letting me work on my projects in peace, but I assure you there's no need to concern yourself about interfering with my work in this case as I don't have any pressing matters to attend to at the moment. It'd really be no trouble at all for me to help you out.
In fact, I suppose I could say that it'd be my pleasure to assist you.

[Positively growling at him.]
I don't want your help.

You never did take teasing very well, you know.
[He raises an eyebrow.]
You didn't think I'd really risk life and limb by entering Konoha just to see you naked, did you? A bit full of ourselves, aren't we?
[Well, he certainly wouldn't when she isn't agreeable to the idea, at least.]
Your self-reliant streak is quite commendable, however.

You could have fooled me.
[Meaning: you thought about it for a second, and Sakura knows it.]

And it's clear he's thinking about it right now.]
...Well, it'd certainly be no fun at all if you didn't agree to my dropping by.
[Not that he'd do a thing unless Deidara was amenable to the idea. Partners do come first, after all.
His smirk widens as he remembers a certain scenario that had crossed his mind not too long ago.]
Admittedly, there'd be a few minor complications that would have to be dealt with beforehand...

Don't think I would ever agree to that.

[Okay, forget not yelling.]
YES, I'M SURE.
Th-there was never going to be another opportunity! And there never will be, so don't even think about it!
And don't ever bring that up again!

She can't help it, really. Oh, she hates herself for feeling flattered, but she can't entirely prevent it. It isn't often that she's told these things: boys normally think she's intimidating, or they compare her unfavorably to Ino. Not that she really cared.
Much.
And sure, she heard such praise often enough from Lee and she knew that Naruto had feelings for her, but neither of them really seemed to count.
This is...
--It is nothing. Really. It isn't.]
J-just shut up. There was never going to be a next time and whatever you have--had planned, I'm not going to be a part of. So just...
[Searches for some sophisticated way of articulating her desire to make him go away.]
Shut up.
[Oh well.]
