Pollen Season

. . . . . .

Ok, this story was suggested to me by MysticSpeedForce. Each chapter will be about 2000 words and I'll update about once a week.

Also, for this fic I have censored out Hidan's mouth, I don't particularly like cursing.

Well, I hope you like it. :)

. . . . . .

Sasori's POV

I hated weather like this; all it did was hold people up. And I hate waiting or making others wait. Currently this stupid hurricane going on outside was making everyone in Akatsuki wait.

Normally we'd all be out doing mission or something but now we couldn't. Konan tried to leave earlier and had almost been blown away by the strong winds. Luckily though, leader Pein was there to save her.

Right now, everyone was in their rooms trying to avoid Akatsuki's most spastic member. For every time thunder would sound, Tobi would make one lap around the base screaming like a little girl. Then he would insist on knocking on every member's door saying that he was scared.

What kind of S-class criminal was scared of a little thunder storm? Ok, maybe it was more than just a little thunder storm, but that's not the point. It was only weather, what was there to be afraid of? I mean, we lived in a large underground cavern, carved into a mountainside; were the only thing to worry about was avalanches.

"Sasori-san! Deidara-sempai! Tobi is scared!" the most hyperactive member screamed, banging on our door.

"Go away Tobi un! I'm trying to sleep!" the brat shouted from under his covers.

"But Tobi is scared! Tobi promises he'll be quiet if you let him in!" he screamed.

"Go away Tobi, maybe Hidan and Kakuzu will let you in their room," I said.

"Okay Sasori-san. Tobi will go see Hidan-san and Kakuzu-san!" he shouted, running off. I have no idea how he even got into Akatsuki. I think even Leader-sama wonders that sometimes…

Either way, he was out of my hair for now. But what was I going to do all day? It's not like I could make a new puppet; I didn't have the supplies and couldn't go and get them.

I guess that means I was stuck just working on one that I already have. Let's see…. I'll go with puppet number forty-five.

With that in mind, I summoned it and began my work.

Deidara's POV

I kept trying to fall back asleep but couldn't; I blame Tobi. I was finally able to fall asleep when he had to come pounding on my door because he was scared.

I don't know what is wrong with him. Now, as to the reason why I can't seem to fall asleep, I think I'm sick or something. My nose is runny and I keep feeling the need to sneeze. But I refrain from doing the latter.

If Sasori-danna heard me he'd just complain about me being a brat and getting sick. He acts like I can control things like that.

Then again, he was a puppet, so he could control those things. I wonder why I got paired with the most emotionless member of this organization… Oh well, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Now all I had to do was hide the fact that I was getting sick from the rest of the organization. After all, I couldn't just stay in this room all day. I was getting hungry…

With some effort, I sat up and got out of bed, then left the room. Sasori danna didn't notice because he was too absorbed in working on one of his puppets.

I began to make some tea and toast, something simple, when Tobi ran into the room. This is not what I needed right now.

"Deidara sempai! You're awake!" he screamed as though I had just been brought back from the dead.

"Tobi is so scared of this storm, so Tobi went to go see you. But then you told Tobi to go away and that made Tobi sad. So Tobi has been waiting for you in the hallway," he announced happily.

Great, now Tobi was resulting to stalking me; just what I needed.

"What is Deidara sempai doing?" Tobi asked, looking over my shoulder.

"Making breakfast un," I said grumpily, not in the mood for this. And worst of all, I began to feel like I was going to sneeze. And if I did that, Tobi would probably run around telling everyone that I was sick; and I honestly didn't want all of that drama.

Oh great, here it comes. *SNEEZE*

"Oh no! Deidara-sempai is sick!" Tobi screamed at the top of his lungs. Oh no, my best bet is to run and pretend that nothing happened.

I made a dash for the hallway entrance, only succeeding in running into someone. When I looked up I identified said person as Sasori-danna.

"You're sick?" he asked impassively, looking half asleep.

"No un, *sneeze*" I failed.

"Riiight," he said sarcastically.

"Come on," he sighed, practically dragging me back to our room, much to my chagrin.

"I told you danna un, I'm not sick *sneeze*" I complained as he dropped me on my bed. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"No seriously I'm fine un! *sneeze*" I said.

"Then why do you keep sneezing?" he asked skeptically.

"How should I know un? *sneeze*" I said.

"What other symptoms do you have besides sneezing," he asked.

"My nose is runny un. *sneeze*" I said, sniffling slightly.

"Hmmm," he said in thought.

"Just go back to sleep, I'll figure out what's wrong with you," he said, turning around and going back to his desk.

I grudgingly did as I was told. Great, I'm still hungry and now Tobi is probably eating my breakfast. Not to mention the way Sasori-no-danna said he would find out why I was sneezing and stuff. He said it like I had some mental disease or something; which I don't!

Well, I am tired… And with that, I feel back asleep.

Sasori's POV

What the brat had described didn't seem to be any sickness I knew of. If it was a cold or the flu, he'd be coughing and wouldn't even be able to get out of bed.

No, this was something completely different… I'd have to consult Kakuzu about it; he knew more about things like this than I did.

I walked down the hallway until I reached Kakuzu and Hidan's room. Walking in, I saw Hidan unconscious, bleeding all over the floor and Kakuzu reading a book on his bed. "Hey Kakuzu, I need to ask you about something," I called.

"Hm, sure" he said, setting his book down and getting up.

"What can I help you with Sasori?" he asked as he reached the doorway.

"There's something wrong with Deidara," I told the stitched man.

"And you're just noticing this now?" he asked, smirking.

"No, not like that. I mean he's not feeling well," I said, glaring slightly at him. There was something wrong with pretty much everyone in this base.

"Ok, "he said, following me down the hallway to the room I share with the brat. When we got there he was still asleep; doing what I told him to do for once.

"Hey brat, wake up! Kakuzu is going to see what's wrong with you," I said, pushing him out of the bed.
"What was that for danna un!?" he shouted sitting up.

"Come on," I said exasperatedly as he grudgingly followed. The three of us all walked down to the infirmary where Kakuzu kept all of his medical supplies.

"Alright Sasori, you can go, I'll know what's wrong in about thirty minutes," Kakuzu said. I nodded my head and left the room. It's probably nothing, I told myself, going back to my room.

. . . . . . .

I was in the living room, waiting for Kakuzu to tell me what was wrong with the brat; who was currently sleeping in our room.

"Ok, he's not sick," Kakuzu said walking in. I nodded my head, gesturing for him to go on.

"Well, it turns out, it's just allergies," he said.

"That's it?" I asked. Had I really just wasted all morning to find out that the brat had allergies?

"Well, it's actually not a good thing," he said seriously.

"Why?" I asked, slightly worried now.

"If we can't find the source of his allergies and then stop whatever that source is…" he trailed off.

"What?" I asked, getting impatient.

"His allergies could become severe if not stopped," he warned. My eyes widened slightly.

"What could happen?" I asked.

"He could become very sick, depending on what is causing his allergies," Kakuzu explained. I was silent; this was not what I had hoped for.

"Ok, thanks Kakuzu…" I said, leaving the room. I had to tell Deidara, but I didn't want to worry him. I'll just tell him that he has allergies; that is the truth. Next all I had to do was look for the source.

But then the other members would become curious. Maybe I should just tell them, it would make the search easier. I guess that means I'd need to inform leader-sama too.

I sighed tiredly; this was going to be a long day.

Deidara's POV

I wondered what was wrong with me; well, if I was sick or not. *sneeze*

And gosh, these sneezes sure were getting annoying. Right now I was just waiting for Sasori-no-danna to come and tell me what Kakuzu said. Honestly, I don't know why Kakuzu didn't just tell me himself. I wasn't some little kid; if anyone was, it was Tobi.

I hope I don't have to deal with him today. I was beginning to feel bad and a little dizzy, but I just shrugged it off. It was probably just tiredness.

"There you are Deidara-sempai! Tobi has been looking everywhere for you!" the masked nin screamed, bursting through my door. Why me?

"Go away Tobi un," I said, trying to remain calm.

"But Tobi's bored!" he whined.

"Tobi un," I growled irritably.

"Can Tobi please stay Deidara-sempai? Please!" he begged. That's it; I couldn't take this anymore. Throwing some small bombs at him, as not to destroy the room, I yelled," Katsu!"

But something seemed different, something with the explosion. Yes, it had scared Tobi out of my room, but it seemed…. Weak. And not only did it seem a lot weaker, but I also suddenly felt really tired. Maybe I am getting sick.

"Hey Deidara, I know what's wrong with you," Sasori stated, entering the room. I really hated how he said that.

"What un?" I asked drowsily.

"Allergies," he said simply.

"That's it un?" I asked, beginning to fall asleep.

"Yeah, just get some rest," he said turning around.

"Ok un," I said, doing just what he had asked; falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Sasori's POV

Was it just me, or did the brat seem unusually tired. It must have been the allergies that Kakuzu had told me about. I walked down the hallway, stopping in front of the door that lead to leader Pein's room.

Knocking, I went inside after hearing a come in.

"What is it Sasori?" he asked.

"According to Kakuzu, Deidara has allergies," I explained.

"So?" he asked, bored.

"Well, apparently if we don't find out what is causing the allergies and get rid of it, they will become sever," I clarified.

"How sever?" he asked.

"I'm not completely sure, you'd have to ask Kakuzu," I said.

"Ok, we're meeting in an hour, tell everyone else," he said tiredly, dismissing me.

"Yes sir," I said leaving the room. I just hope that we'll be able to help the brat before things get too bad…
