Scorpions crawled around everywhere. The burning sand not bothering their scrawny, sharp, insect like legs in anyway. The air was chokingly heavy from the heat, and the boy standing in the middle of the sand dunes surrounded by the deathly creatures panted heavily. Blood red hair matted on to his pale forehead and sweaty hands were clutching tightly around a in silver-white colored scythe.
"Sasori."
"Yeah, I know."
This is her environment, her ground, and the two boys had no idea how they got there but they did know that they were at a disadvantage. They were separated from their allies, had no idea where they were, they were wandering in death city at one moment then here the next. The sea of scorpions was endless, and they had been hacking at them for what felt like hours. Warm sweat dripped from the tip of the scythe's blade.
"Getting hot brat?"
"I'm not the one slipping with sweaty hands, un!"
While slicing down another three scorpions, a larger one, the size of a basketball sprang from behind.
"Danna, behind you!" Seeing that 'Danna' wasn't going to be fast enough, the scythe glowed then disappeared from the redhead's grasp then spread itself onto his body.
The poison drenched tip of the scorpion bounced off the protected redhead's back, and then fell face up onto the sand, scrawny legs thrashing about.
"Thanks, Dei."
"Don't mention it man, un."
Steel-like armor covered the upper half of the meister's body, upper arms bear, but from the elbows to the tip of the fingers was covered and from the knees down was protected as well.
"Dei, take us up, we have to find that witch to get out of here."
"Gotcha!" Extending himself, white light flashed for a second and the armor slipped away and formed into metallic wings onto Sasori's back. With a sharp flap they were in the air, brown orbs glanced below to see a wave of scorpions attacking the space they were inhabiting a second ago.
"Sasori, there!" The meister looked for the direction he guessed his partner was 'pointing' at and unmistakably there stood a witch. The top half of her face was covered from a sunhat she was wearing, long braided hair rested behind her back, the color was way too strange in the boys' opinions, and she was in a simple Japanese school girl uniform, the skirt ending on her knees.
"Ironic isn't it? The scorpion hunting the scorpling." The witch giggled.
"I'm guessing you're the scorpling danna, un."
"Shut up brat."
Another high-pitched giggle brought the boy's attention back.
"Join me."
A dark figure flashed behind them, and the next thing they knew the boys were shot down from the sky skidding across the burning sand. Scorpions swarmed towards them, crawling from all around. Poisoned needles stabbed onto the fallen body and crawled on top aiming for the unprotected flesh. Sasori felt his partner's soul spike in panic urging the redhead to get up, but the attempt to stand was cut off as soon as a large hand slammed him back down, drowning him in the sea of poison. The dark figure from before crouched on top of the boys, his free hand hovered above the redhead's face, his pointy figure had some sort of sharp weapon on it. No doubt it had poison on it too, and it was no ordinary weapon.
"Dei, get out of here." Sasori coughed, he could feel the poison spreading through his veins. "Leave me and get the fuck out of here."
"Danna, I heard you say some stupid things, but this is the stupidest thing you ever said, get up!"
The enemy slashed his small weapon down at his chest, and at the same moment Sasori shot his wavelength to shock his weapon off him.
Red splattered onto the sand and a blond male skidded onto the other side of the party.
"SASORI!"
Blood dripped from the fingered weapon, a motionless body beneath the attacker, the man who attacked them faced the survivor, and the sea of scorpions scrambled towards their next victim. The last thing Deidara saw was a single red eye with a blue strip shaped like the head of a bear.
What the fuck.
Bee-Bee-Bee-Beep! Bee-Bee-Beep!
Blue eyes shot open only to shut back up as the sun blinded them from his curtainless window. The annoying sound of the alarm clock continued beeping away on the other side of the room which could only be turned off by the body curling up on the bed. He had to get up to turn that god forsaken device off.
"Fuckā¦..un."
