This was an idea that came to me only because of something I said. That, and my friends bugging me about it for like, ever. Sorry if it sucks, I wasn't really into it...even though I really wanted to be.

DISCLAIMER!!! I don't own anything...-sob- not even my Haku-chan!! TT.TT
Deidara paced in front of the leaders door, sighing every once in a while with a slight shake of his head. He had been waiting there for over an hour, watching for any sign of movement around the corner. He rubbed the back of his head, and looked down at his watch. 3:30. The Leader had told them to meet at his office at 2:30. Deidara wouldn't have been suprised if Tobi was still sleeping.
An orange flash rounded the corner, skidded along the floor, and stopped in front of the Leader's door, panting. "S-sorry, Deidara-senpai, I w-was sleeping..."
'Huh. Go figure.' Deidara thought, rolling his eyes. "All right, we'd better go in, un." Tobi nodded visciously, walked past Deidara, and shoved the door open. It opened...for a second. Then it rebounded back and hit Tobi in the face as he tried to walk through. Deidara walked slowly past the smaller nin, now on the floor, and gave him a look that plainly said, "What the hell is wrong with you? (un)"
Tobi shook his head and shakily got to his feet. "S-sorry."
Deidara walked in to the small room without a second thought. Leader greeted them with a small nod. "So that was you who tried to knock down my door." Deidara glared pointedly at Tobi. "Actually, it was Mr. Impatient here, un." Tobi blushed under his mask and shuffled his feet. "I said I was sorry" he mumbled.
"Well, here's the mission, at any rate. Two mist ninja have been resurected by Orochimaru (1). We believe he is using them to gain more power...anyways, I need you to assasinate them. Normally I'd get Itachi and Kisame to do it, but Kisame is an ex-mist ninja. They'd more than likely recognise him. So I'm sending you two. Now leave me alone."
Deidara walked out imedeately, but Tobi stayed in one spot. "Why did you say 'we'?"
"..."
"Tobi..."
"..."
"No, really, why?"
"..."
"Get. Out. Now."
Tobi whimpered slightly at the horrible tone in the Leader's voice. It was likely that if he stayed a second more, he would have been vapourized on the spot. Luckily, he decided that moment would be the best time to leave, and ran out the door as quickly as possible.
"Hmph. Moron." Was all Deidara said to the idiotic nin.
He walked slowly to his room to pack, making sure Tobi didn't follow him. As soon as he shut his door he turned around and sank down onto the floor. His eyes began to burn, but he blinked furiously and stopped the tears before they started. 'Why...Sasori no Danna...why did you leave me?' He thought, his arms folded loosely in front of his chest.
Deidara sighed and got up quickly. That simple motion made his head spin, causing him to sway on the spot. "Damn." he whispered menicingly, banging his fist on the wall. He grabbed some clay from a barrel beside his bed, and shoved it into a pack. He then took some clothes from the small dresser that was provided to all the Akatsuki members. Deidara was out the door before Tobi was even half packed.
After many heated arguements, ("NO, you can NOT take a blender, un!) Tobi was finally ready to go. Zetsu found them at the door and gave them two photographs. Deidara looked down at them and studied them closely. Neither of them had been taken with the subject's permission, by the way they were positioned. One was of a large, muscular man with a gigantic sword. He was easily distiguishable thanks to the bandages he wore around his face. His eyes were as black as his hair, and he wore his headband to one side. A name was scribbled under the photograph; 'Zabuza Momochi' .
Deidara's gaze found it's way to the other one. He looked at it for quite a bit longer than the first. The name underneath it was simply 'Haku', but that did nothing to describe the beauty of the young nin. His face was pale, framed by a thin sheet of dark hair. His eyes were dark as well, but filled with a look the ex-Iwa nin couldn't decipher. They were different from Zabuza's; clearer, and innocent.
Deidara could hardly believe such a beautiful ninja could be dangerous. But the moment the thought crossed his mind, he scolded himself inwardly. 'No! You can't be blinded by beauty like that. Get your act together.' Deidara thought crossly as he began to walk out the door. "Come on, Tobi, It's time to go, un."
With an, "Alright, Deidara-senpai!" and a grunt from Zetsu, they were off to find the ninja that, although he had no idea at the time, would change Deidara's life forever.
