Deidara's Bad Day

Chapter 1: New Partner

Authors Note: At beginning bold=Zetsu's dark side speaking.


"You can't be serious? Tobi? My partner!"

"Yes…Sasori has been defeated…Therefore you will need a new partner…"

"I'm fine on my own," I spat defiantly.

I don't need anyone, huh!

"Not according to our leader…You two will meet us at the closest Akatsuki hideout within the hour…"

That double-faced creep turned to face me.

"Unless you don't want your arms put back on Deidara?"

I gave him a glare.

He turned to Tobi.

"Tobi…you are to go with him…"

"Aye aye Master Zetsu!" Tobi flew an arm to his head awkwardly in salute.

Huh! Whatever…all I care about is getting back in time so Kakuzu can put my arms back on…It hurts like a-

"Deidara! I'm ready when you are!" Tobi cried out happily. Too happily. It was then I noticed Zetsu had disappeared, as usual.

"Alright Tobi, let's go," I said gruffly.

"YES SIR DEIDARA!"

Damn…Why's he gotta be so excited all the time…

….

We jumped from tree to tree for about five minutes when I began to feel the effects of nausea hit me.

Damn it, not now…not now…urrr...I really wanted my hands right about now. Just to place a cool palm against my forehead…

"Deidara?"Tobi asked beside me.

"What?" I replied irritably.

I am not dealing with him today…

"Have you listened to a word I've said, Deidara?"

"No," I replied flatly.

"I knew it! I knew you weren't listening!"

I sighed in annoyance. Abruptly the nausea came back. This time even worse than before. I picked up the speed.

Gotta get there...soon...

"Come on Tobi, hurry up!" I called back.

"Yes Deidara!" He replied from behind.

We were making it in pretty good time considering, when light-headedness struck me again like a C1 bomb…

I closed my eyes, panting heavily.

I should probably stop soon, no! Gotta get there as soon as possible-Ahhh!…no...…I feel…so…so-no! Fight it!

It keeps looming in on me…

Come on! Ignore it!

Overtaking me…

Come on! It's just the effects of blood loss. Some mild light-headedness.

My vision starts to blur in and out as my body begins to feel limp...my head droops down on it's own accord...my face feels so fuzzy…I…I-

"Deidara!" Tobi yelled.

Huh?

SWOOSH!

I feel myself falling…falling through the air…what a nice breeze…

THUMP!

Ow.

I land…on what I don't know…

I can hear some shuffling…

Someone is next to me.

Gotta get up.

Need…strength…...Ah! Can't pull myself up…

In a few seconds I slowly manage to open an eye and see the clouds above me. Looking over to my side I notice Tobi hovering over me. I think his mouth's moving…

I blink a few times, trying to clear away the blurriness when I hear him shouting, "Deidara! Deidara! Wake up!"

Everyday sounds return to me gradually…So does my vision...

"Tobi?" I speak barely over a whisper.

"DEIDARA! YOU'RE ALRIGHT!"

"I'm fine-GAH! TOBI GET OFF!" I push the exuberant newbie away from me.

"Deidara! What happened? You were jumping and suddenly ahhhh! You go pummeling down!"

"Blood loss…It happens when you loose both your arms," I snarl.

"Hehehe…well I wouldn't know I suppose…" he giggles.

"Shut up."

"Well…someone's just as happy as ever, hmm?"

"I swear Tobi…you say one more word and I'll-"

"Ohhhh! Apples! Deidara look!"

Clenching my teeth I look up at the Apple Tree Tobi's pointing at.

"Look Deidara! Lots and lots of apples! Oh pleaseeeee can we have some?"

This guy is really starting to get on my nerves…

"Deidara?...Deidara?...Deida-"

"YES! Eat it already!"

"Yay! Apples for Tobi!" He jumps up and down like a child, then runs up the tree and starts placing the apples in his cloak pocket.

"Should I get you some too, Deidara?" He calls down.

Huh? Why not? Food will do me some good in this state anyway.

"Yeah…" I reply.

"Okey-dokey partner!"

I cringe as another wave of dizziness comes over me. Oh man…my whole body feels faint…not again…My eyes close shut. Just gotta close my eyes for a second…

"Deidara? Hey! Deidara!"

I immediately feel a few slaps to my cheek, which surprisingly doesn't both me that much. I must be really out of it…

"Deidara! Stay awake! We gotta go!"

Damn it Tobi, I know! Urrrr…But I can't…stay…conscious…much…longer…

"It's alright Deidara. Tobi is here! I know! I'll carry you!"

This blood loss is really starting to-WHAT! TOBI DON'T YOU DARE! Ahh! Damn it!

I felt myself being picked up abruptly, increasing all my pain in a second!

Uhhh...

I feel...myself...loosing…con…scious…ness…

...

Damn you Tobi...

BLACKOUT.
