Jealousy Killed the Cat

Chapter 2- Anger takes over.

Sasori glared at the 'cat' that was curled up on the couch. He knew that weird demon thing he saw last night was this beloved kitten of Deidara, the blonde really couldn't let go of it. Every time the redhead saw his lover, hugging and kissing the inferno little devil, he would get angrier and angrier.

"Sori, there you are~!"

And there came the naïve sculptor, picking up the cat that lay lazily on the couch. The scorpion looked away, trying not to look, in case he really blew up. Deidara arched an eyebrow when he saw his Danna look away from him. 'Was something really the matter un…?' Recently, after the 'kitten' arrived, they have been talking and interacting a lot less. Sasori would just lock himself in his study while Deidara played about with Sori and did his own hobbies. Suddenly noticing it, the young artist sighed as he poured out some cat kibble for his kitten. He heard Sasori slam the study room door, he flinched and sat down on the kitchen floor.

"What am I to do un… Sasori Danna doesn't seem to be really happy…" Deidara muttered as he stroked Sori's arched back. The cat then hopped onto his master's thigh and rubbed his side against the blonde's abdomen, showing a sigh of comfort. The artist giggled as the kitten's ears tickled his stomach through the thin fabric.

"Well at least you're happy Sori-kun."

"Mew!"

The young blonde laughed, kissing his pet cat's forehead. The kitten licked at his master's nose and Deidara playfully tickled the young cat's stomach. Unknown to them, a sad puppeteer was watching them, from behind the door. 'Deidara loves that thing so much… I can't get rid of it…' Sasori sighed, leaving the master and pet to their laughter, locking himself in his study. Though he had plenty of work to do, he couldn't concentrate. 'What the heck does that creature want? What the hell does that thing want to do to with my Deidara?' Worried thoughts rushed in, that cat was definitely not normal, but what could it do? The redhead growled in frustration, 'That's it! I'm calling Kakuzu.' He grabbed his cell and began to dial.

"Kakuzu?"

"Speaking…? What's the matter Sasori? You don't call people during your work hours…"

"It's about the cat, I need some help."

"Ahh… See! This was what I was talking about… What seems to be the problem? Is that thing too much for you to handle?"

"Well sort of… The thing is, that 'cat' isn't so much of a cat, but more of a freaking weird cat human thing."

"What the…? Sasori… There is one thing that I'm sure of now, you have lost your common sense, that's completely not logical...! That cat must have really gone into your head, what the hell are you saying?"

"Kakuzu, I am damn serious here. I saw it last night, it was making a hell lot of noise in the kitchen so I thought I would scoot it out but apparently, I didn't see any cat or kitten of some sort, all I saw was a human! With cat ears and tail though, but I was definitely sure that that cat was a HUMAN. Or demon or whatever, it is NOT a cat! It isn't normal!"

"Okay… Since you said it like that, but what the hell is that cat or whatever it is still doing in your house then?"

"The whole point is, it is too attached to Deidara and Deidara is too attached to it! That damned thing won't go away! It will just find its way back to the house again. I can't get rid of it."

"Have you tried killing it?"

Silence fell on the line.

"Well, have you?"

"No…"

Kakuzu smiled.

"Then how about tonight, kill it and throw it away. And tell Deidara that it ran away. He may be sad for a few days but hey, it's definitely better than having a creature in your house. It is also for Deidara's own good. God knows what that creature can do to you and your blonde."

Sasori agreed and cut the line, hoping that what the miser had said would work. For that 'cat' was seriously getting on his nerves.

Later, night soon fell and Deidara was in deep sleep. The puppet master slowly got out of bed and left the bedroom, ready to set things right. He saw him in the darkness, lazing on the couch, flipping through the TV channels with the volume muted. Sasori slipped away quietly into the kitchen, grabbing a random knife off the sink. Suddenly a sharp breeze blew by, and there right behind the redhead was the devilish creature. The puppeteer jumped as he turned around.

"Sasori? Out so late?"

The demon grinned. 'What the heck is wrong with this thing! He barely seems human now!' Sasori screamed in his panicked mind, trying to calm himself down.

"I'm here to set things right! You were never meant to be here with my Deidara. So you either scram or I get rid of you myself!

Sori laughed, taking this all as a joke.

"Get rid of me? What are you, a demon like me? I highly doubt so! You can't get rid of me mortal… I will remain here, until I'm done with what I came for."

Sasori growled; that was enough talk for him. He stabbed the knife straight into the creature's heart. The thing screamed out in pain as blood gushed out. The scorpion kept pummeling the cat-like human with stabs until no movement was found. He grabbed the sack he prepared earlier and packed the bloody body into it, throwing it into the dumpster a few streets away. Once he was done with that he went back home and he cleaned up the mess on the kitchen floor as if nothing ever happened and got himself cleaned up. The next morning came quickly and the cat was nowhere to be seen. 'Finally… I have gotten rid of that freaky thing' Sasori let out a sigh of relief as he set the breakfast on the table. The bed room door soon opened.

"Mmm! I smell pancakes un!"

The puppeteer smiled when he saw his happy blonde hopped down the stairs.

"Yes, its pancakes. Would you want some syrup?"

The artist munched happily on the sweet treat and temporarily forgot all about his pet cat… Until…

"Sori…? Sori…? Where are you Sori! You haven't eaten your breakfast! Sori…!"

Deidara called out desperately to the red wood cat. The redhead arched an eyebrow and peeked out from his room, the clay artist seemed close to tears.

"Sori… Where did you go un…?"

The blonde finally settled down on the couch, burying his face into his hands.

"Sori…"

The puppeteer, feeling guilty went over and soothed and comforted his uke and rubbed the sobbing boy's back.

"It's okay Deidara. Maybe Sori just ran away, to find his own life. Don't take it so hard…"

The blonde hugged his master and sobbed heavily; Sasori smiled softly and kissed his partner's head. After a while, Deidara stopped and continued the entire day out with his Danna. But unknown to the scorpion, it was not over…

Ahh, but Scorpians have their own defense ability too against other animals that tread too close to their territory. If kitty is coming back for more, he better be prepared...!
