Sasori's P.O.V.

What is taking that stupid brat so long…wait he must be asleep since I'm not there to kick him awake and make sure he stays focused on the mission. Or it could be what Konan and Hidan said…the brat actually did die before the night was over…wait. Why am I so worried about the brat to being with…he was the one who was stupid and had to get himself a solo mission at the worst time and when he was still new to the akatsuki. He had to be the one that was so careless about what's going on around him. Agh why did I even spend the whole night worrying about that damn brat… I thought as I finally stopped walking around the room and sat down on the bed still having my thoughts hanging on the damn brat.

"Sasori open up it's me Konan." I heard her say as she knocked on my door.

"Come in, it's open…" I said trying to act like I had just woken up from my sleep.

"So…I see you got some sleep last night, good to know." Konan said with the same all knowing look on her face.

"Like I told you last night, I'm not worried about the brat, he could be dead on the ground and I wouldn't care less." I said still trying to act like I was sleepy.

"Well that's too bad cause I think I might have heard something crash right after you went to bed last night." Konan said as she left the room with a hidden smirk on her face.

Shit, does that mean he actually got hit by lightning, crashed to the ground, broke every bone in his body, got attacked by wild animals or worse…ninja's must be torturing him or even…using him like a toy…No, wait Sasori it's just Konan messing with you. She's just trying to prove her point to you. It's one of those stupid things she says to you every now and then…don't let her win…she doesn't need to know how much you actually care about the blond…but then again she did make a point about Deidara being attractive…agh why am I thinking like this…I said as I hit my head off the night side table.

After hitting my head off the night side table it occurred to me, I didn't have a table to the left of my bed. I sat up ton the bed to find that I was laying on Deidara's bed.

"No wonder she gave me that all knowing look…she knew all along I didn't actually got any sleep last night…Damn her…" I cursed under my breath so no one else can hear when they walked by.

Konan's P.O.V.

Ah, this is too great, helping blind idiots see the truth about the other. Especially on Sasori's part, I can't believe he thought he could fool me, and while on Deidara's side of the room. What an idiot, but at least, judging from the loud thud I heard, he's showing that he believed what I said last night. Boy, I'm going to have fun messing with them and my friend will surely love this juicy information for her story. And if Deidara isn't as stupid as the others think he is, and judging from his tendency to sleep in, my guess is, he will reach the place by late afternoon. I thought as I walked to the kitchen to make something for everyone to eat.

Deidara's P.O.V.

"Ah, ah, Achoo! Agh who the hell would be talking or thinking about me this god damn early in the morning! Man, a man's got to rest without people thinking about him! un" I said, the sneezing was giving me no choice but to get up.

As I got up and packed my stuff, I couldn't help but to wonder who and why someone was thinking about me this early?

"Hn, maybe it's Danna, maybe he thinks I'm dead by now that damn bastard…" I said to myself as I was just about finished packing.

"Or maybe he is worried about you?" I heard a voice similar to mine echo from the surrounding forest.

"Konan, come out I know it's you messing with me, so come out and tell me how you can sound similar to me. un" I yelled into the open space.

When I got no response I decided it was time I left, I didn't even bother trying to find where it came from and hopped on my clay bird setting off to the village.

Flying to the village didn't take as long as I thought it would. Near late afternoon I was already there and now I was walking on foot to location where I needed to get a scroll that is said to have forbidden jutsus.

"Ah, there's the place and an opening I can use, lucky." I thought as I walked towards the trees so that no one would notice when I jumped into the opening of the house.

When I saw it was safe I jumped from tree to tree till I was on the roof and using the open top floor window to get in. Once inside the house; I noticed that finding the scroll with the forbidden jutsus would be a lot harder than I thought, with scrolls all over the place and covering the floor, it's a wonder whoever lives here hasn't tripped on anything…

As I looked for the scroll that I needed, I was completely unaware that I wasn't alone in the house until I heard a voice from behind me say 'Hey you must be the one coming to get this scroll!'

I turned around in defensive stance to see a young woman possible Konan's age standing before me holding the scroll I needed.

"Just hand over the scroll and I won't have to kill you, un" I said darkly, as my eyes narrowed.

"My aren't you attractive, and why are you threatening me? I'm going to give you the scroll and if you want I just made cookies and we can have tm with tea." She said to me as if she were talking to her best friend or someone close to her.

"Umm you do know I'm an S-rank criminal right? un" I asked till holding my kunai out in case she tried to attack.

"Yes, so it's no big deal. You're just here for a scroll nothing else, so why should I bother hiding it plus it looks like you need it." She said as if this has happen to her before.

"Um, so are you saying that you've had someone break into your home just to take a scroll they need un?" I asked still confused.

"Well actually nope this is the first time but I've taken a liking to you so I'm not putting up a fight and "ll actually help you, and offer tea and cookies." She responded to my question with a smile on her face.

"Wait you're going to help me? But how un?" I asked now more confused because of what this nut job is saying.

"I can't say, it's a secret. Now come on we don't want my cookies to get cold." She said as she walked out of the room with the scroll in her hands.

"Hey what do you mean 'it's a secret'! Get back here and answer my questions you crazy lady! un" I yelled after her as we waked down stairs to where the smell of cookies filled the air.

"I already told you, I'm going to help you but it's a secret. Now sit and have a cookie or else." The crazy lady said as she gave me a glare that could have rivaled that damn Uchiha's glare…

"At least tell me how you will help me un?" I asked still standing while testing the waters with her.

"Fine, I have a set of plans and so far plans B, D, O and P are already in play." She answered as she walked over to the table with a platter of cookies.

"What are these plans? un" I asked now more confused.

She only gave me a smirk before she said 'Don't go asking questions you don't want to know the answers too and didn't I tell you to sit already and have a cookie.' She threw a kunai just passed my face and not just any kunai but my kunai.

"B-but, how, you, there, and cookies…un" I stood there completely at a loss as to how a completely crazy lady who said she would help me would then threaten me with my own kunai to sit down and have a cookie…which I still don't get how she was even able to steal my kunai without me knowing…

"So, are you going to sit and have a cookie?" I heard her voice laced with a venomous tone ask.

"Y-yeah sure pass me a cookie. un" I said as I quickly moved to sit down while putting a cookie in my mouth.

"Good, now I will bring you tea and something for me to drink." The crazy lady said in the same happy tone she had before trying to kill me.

…Is this woman a child or a killer? And what are these plans she has and why is she even helping me?! I thought as I wait for the lady to returned with our drinks and a knife in hand, in case I didn't listen to her again…

When she got back she was happy again and acting as though nothing had happened.

"Here you go green tea for you, and hot chocolate for me." She said as she handed me my tea.

"Wait you drink hot chocolate in the spring? un" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Why of course, tea tastes yucky to me." She said taking another drink from her hot chocolate.

"Umm okay, I'm finding it hard to believe that a person- no wait a child, like you can even help me with whatever you think I need help with un." I said completely at a lose as I tried to figure out what was going on in that woman's head.

"Hey, one I'm not a child, I'm actually smarter than you and two just trust me. You need my help especially with that idiot. Now finish your tea and cookies, I need you to help me with something." She said, as she slammed down her empty cup of hot chocolate.

"Wait, what idiot are you talking about and help you with what un?" I asked as I finished my bit of tea.

"You don't need to know about the idiot. And you are giving me a ride back to your base because I have some important things to do there." She said as she took both our empty cups.

"Important things?" Like what? And how do I know you're not lying and just looking for the location of the hideout un?" I asked angrily, she had only answered half of my questions and not even the important half.

"Just trust me, if you want this…" She held up the scroll that was still in her left hand.

As I tried to reach for it she sidestepped out of the way and moved the scroll to her right hand, before starting to speak again.

"If you want this take me to your hideout, I have more skills than that simple one you saw before with your kunai. As well I know someone who is waiting for me there…" She took the platter of cookies to the kitchen to pack them for our trip back.

At a loss, I just followed close behind, while planning how to get rid of her before we reached the base.

"Oh, and just some warnings. Never say my lying skills are weak. I actually was telling the truth before. My actually lying skills are far better than anyone's out there; I can get you to believe anything I say. And before you try to kill me from behind or push e off a cliff, I already sent a message that I will be coming with you to the base. So if I'm not there with you, than you won't get the answer you need." The crazy lady said with her back to me, I could practically feel the smirk on her face.

"Yeah, yeah then we leave the village on foot and once outside I'll show you how I travel un." I said annoyed that I lost to this brat.

As we walked in silence for a bit, I thought back to the day's events and what struck me the most was what the crazy lady said before we left 'So if I'm not there with you than you won't get the answer you need.' How on earth did she know I'm doing this for an answer? I thought as we left the village.

Once in the same open space I had use before to land, I pulled out my clay bird and watched the crazy lady before me become so amused by it, or maybe it was the fact that she had trapped me in a corner…we both hopped on the bird and took off into the sky.
