This i another story of mine. A Deidara x Tobi one. xD This is the prolouge, I'll add the first chapter tomorrow.
People on other sites was wondering a bit over the strange titel. So to explain a little, this title kinda has this meaning: A secret is something that you can tell to those closest to you, if you trust them enough. But the secret this story is about, and I think you can guess it, you can't tell to anyone except the two involved. Hope that makes sense.
Enjoy it, and please review.

Prologue
The storm was raging outside the Akatsuki hideout, though it wasn't something that could be noticed on the inside. The light from the bright lamps in the roof lit up the stone walls. Steps echoed in the empty space between the walls, giving a feeling of emptiness, even though the cave was anything but empty. The man that made the echoing sound quickly turned around to walk the other way. His blonde hair swept through the air by the sudden movement. He walked back and forth in the warmed up corridor. He looked down at his newly 'repaired' arms. He gave up a deep sigh. He was going to get a new partner today, but why did Pein let him wait like this? Damn it Sasori no Danna. Why did you have to go and die? He asked himself. It was the same question he had asked what felt like a million times the last half hour. The seconds felt like minutes as the steps kept echoing.
He was frustrated over the sudden death of the partner he had worked with for so long. Immortal? Yeah, right. No one was truly immortal, everything had to disappear sometime. That was how things worked. It didn't make it better when Zetzu told him that the damn Shukaku Jinchuuriki actually survived, thanks to the old hag that killed his partner. And then he had to search through all the papers from his clan he took when he left his village, just to see if he could somehow replace the arm that was crushed by the same Jinchuuriki. Thank god he did find something. He heard a door open behind him. He glanced over his shoulder, to find Uchiha Itachi looking at him. Great, just perfect. A visit by the Uchiha always makes my day, he thought sarcastically.
"What?" He asked the Uchiha.
Itachi, who had his Sharingan activated (as always), glared a little.
"Oh please," he answered, "don't tell me that you don't here yourself muttering all the time? You know how easy you hear things that comes from the corridor, so if you could just shut up maybe we can get some peace around here." Deidara raised an eyebrow.
He muttered? What the hell? The Uchiha shut the door before Deidara had a chance to answer. Sure, he could and the Uchiha would still hear it, but he simply shrugged. Who the hell cared anyway? He stood on the same spot for a while before he started walking back and forth again, this time with his hands on his back. He looked down at the ground. I better not get stuck with a complete idiot, he thought and clenched his fist, looking back at his little meeting with the idiot Tobi in the forest. Sasori no Danna might not have been the nicest partner, but anyone is better then that idiot. He looked up when the door opened again. Seeing as no one stood in the doorway he assumed that he could go in.
He entered the dimly lit room. Pein sat at a desk in the middle of the room resting his head on his hands. His spiral eyes met Deidara's blue one. Deidara never liked those eyes; they made him feel so uncomfortable. Zetzu stood on the right side of the door, watching the new Akatsuki member. The two sides mumbled to each other. Deidara tried to hear what they said, but he couldn't catch a single word. Hidan and Kakuzu stood in the corner to Deidara's left. Itachi and Kisame stood beside them. Konan was in the far back of the room, in the only spot that was nearly completely black. Deidara concentrated his gaze on the new Akatsuki member. That black hair looked awfully familiar.
"Deidara," Pein then spoke. "Come here."
Deidara obeyed and stopped at the side of the new Akatsuki member.
When he heard the member on his side spoke in that annoying voice he hated so much, he widened his eyes in shock and looked to his side.
"Hi Deidara-sempai!" The man - or boy, as Deidara saw him as - spoke. Deidara stared at the orange mask.
"Oh no," he said shook his head. "No way, I'm not going to…"
He then realized what the stupid shinobi called him. He closed his eyes and slighty – and quickly – shook his head.
"Wait… What, un?"
He opened his eye. He could swear that Tobi was grinning behind that ugly mask.
"I said hi," he answered happily.
"No, not that," Deidara shook his head again and then pointed at the masked man (boy). "What did you just call me, un?"
Pein looked slightly amused as he watched the two ninjas. Tobi seemed a little confused when he answered.
"Deidara-sempai," he said with his voice a little less childishly happy.
"S-sempai?" Deidara asked the mask, confused.
Tobi poked him a little.
"Perhaps you're a little deaf sempai," he said teasingly.
Deidara was quiet. He didn't hear wrong. Hidan let out a slight laugh in amusement at Deidara's expression. Kakuzu hit his side with the elbow, and whispered between his teeth.
"I'm already annoyed at you," he said. "So shut up."
Hidan glared at him. Pein spoke up.
"You have five days to get to know each other a bit," he said. "Then you'll go out on your first mission together. And Tobi, try not to get on Deidara's nerves. We like some peace and quiet around here."
Tobi scratched the back of his head. He saw Deidara starting to walk out of the room.
"Wait up sempai!" He said happily and sprinted out of the room.
Deidara rolled his eyes. Something then blocked his path. He looked up and saw the walking man-eating plant.
"If you hurt Tobi too much in any way," the light half said. "it won't be fun for you," the black half finished the sentence. Deidara smiled a little, a sweat drop falling from the back of his head.
"No need to threaten me like that," he said. "I won't hurt him." As he walked past the walking plant he inwardly thought; too much.

As someone commented for me on another website I have this submitted on, Itachi acted a little rude. So there's no need to point that out of you were planning to. It was a little mistake on my part, and I'll try not to do that again. x)
Hope you liked it!
