Hello I hope you enjoy.

3 months after the incident
Sasori already dressed and in Hiruko, walked out of his room and proceeded to the kitchen. It was Itachi's turn to cook and was found standing in the kitchen frying bacon. Sasori wandered into the kitchen and looked at Itachi, "When is Zetsu getting back with my new partner?" He spat the word partner as if tasting food that he disliked.
Itachi sighed and flipped the bacon before turning to Sasori, "Look I know that you're irritated but there is nothing you can do about it! We all need a partner. I have Kisame, Kakuzu has Hidan, Zetsu has Tobi, heck even Leader-Sama has Konan! You need someone too! And don't say that you can be ok on your own. We all need to have someone to back us up. We are S-Class criminals." That being said he flipped the bacon once more before taking them out of the skillet and cleaning the pan so he could cook eggs.
"Who wants what?" Itachi asked poking his head into the dining room, where the other members of the Akatsuki now sat talking. "I want some fucking fried eggs!" Hidan cried looking positively starved. Kakuzu smacked him on the head and Hidan automatically yelled "Kakuzu! You greedy bastard! What was that for?" Kakuzu stared pointedly at Hidan who scowled then said "Please Itachi?" Kakuzu nodded his head then asked, "Yes. I would also like some fried eggs please." Tobi, who had been talking to Kisame, then said "None of Tobi! Tobi is going to get Zetsu-Kun to make Tobi pancakes when he gets back!"
He then turned back to Kisame who told Itachi "Scrambled" and resumed talking. Konan looked up from the book she was reading and stated, "Pein and I would like Scrambled as well."
Itachi nodded and began frying four eggs. Sasori looked at the sizzling food then grabbed a book from the book self and sat at the dining room table and listened to all the conversations around him while pretending to read his book. Suddenly Itachi looked up and stated "Hello Zetsu, Where is the new recruit?" Upon hearing Zetsu's name and then seeing the previously mentioned person, Tobi jumped up and pounced on Zetsu screaming "Tobi missed you Zetsu-Kun!"
Zetsu, once getting Tobi off of him and settling into the vacant seat next to Tobi, looked at Itachi and said "He is with Leader-Sama right now. He will be out in a few minutes." Sasori stared at Zetsu trying to find out anything about his new partner but finally asked, "Well what you think of him. Is she worth my time or not?" Itachi came into the kitchen and served everyone their food. Tobi then hopped up and stated "Zetsu-Kun, when you are done talking to Sasori-Sensei, come help Tobi make pancakes!"
Zetsu nodded and glanced at Sasori before saying "Ok Tobi. Get the ingredients and I'll be there in a second." Sasori, who hates to be kept waiting, growled impatiently. "Your partner… isn't a she, Sasori." Zetsu said.
Sasori just looked at Zetsu before asking, "What?" Zetsu shook his head and replied "Your partner is male Sasori, and look here he is now." Just as Zetsu had said standing in the entrance was a man, at least he hoped he was a man, with long blond hair pulled up in a ponytail and half of it covering his left side of his face; he wore a fishnet shirt and the Akatsuki cloak.
The blond haired man stepped forward and smiled looking straight at Zetsu. "Hey, Zetsu-San I'm so glad you're here, un! I thought I was going to have to be alone in this, un!" He stepped forward, walking halfway in the room when he realized that Sasori, still inside Hiruko, was glaring at him.
The man stopped and looked at Sasori before stating "Hello. I am Deidara Iwa." He smiled and glanced at every person in the room. Tobi smiled and jumped up and down saying, "Deidara-Senpai! Tobi likes Deidara-Senpai!" Konan stood and put her book back on the self, "Hello Deidara-San, I am Konan." She shook his hand then looked pointedly at all the other members.
Kakuzu stood pulling Hidan up with him, "Hello Deidara, I am Kakuzu and this is Hidan." Hidan growled "I can introduce myself Kakuzu!" Deidara chuckled then turned to Tobi, "You must be Tobi?" Tobi started bouncing up and down. "YES! Tobi is Tobi! How did Senpai know Tobi was Tobi?" Deidara looked at Tobi like he was crazy but simply said "Lucky guess."
Itachi stepped forward with Kisame by his side, "Hello, my name is Itachi Uchiha." He grabbed Deidara's hand shaking it. Kisame also grabbed his hand shaking it then said, "Hello I am Kisame Hoshigaki." Deidara smiled and greeted them all again but was suddenly drawn to the ugly man in the back. He walked up to Sasori and held out his hand, "Hello. I haven't met you yet. What is your name, sir?"
Sasori looked from Deidara's face to his extended hand then back to his face. Standing quickly Sasori turned and as he walking out the door said "My name is Akasuna no Sasori, Brat." With that Sasori left, going to work on his puppet Hiruko.
Deidara turned and asked "Did I do something to offend him?" Konan shook her head and mumbled an apology before leaving stating something about "Pein needing to eat." Zetsu stepped forward resting his hand on Deidara's shoulder and said "Don't take it personally. Yeah don't be a pansy ass about it! Sasori-Kun is just a little rough around the edges with new people. Don't you dare upset him though! I will come after you."
Deidara nodded then asked "Where's my room?" Zetsu grabbed him and said "Here I'll show you where it is. From now on though, Sasori will be your mentor." Deidara followed Zetsu out of the dining room and down into a hallway. Finally comprehending what Zetsu said Deidara stated, "What! I am being mentored by him? He doesn't even like me? Why can't you be my mentor?" Zetsu smiled at Deidara and replied "Sasori is also your partner and by being your partner he is your mentor." With that said he showed Deidara his room and left.
Deidara stood outside contemplating the pros and cons before opening the door and finding something strange awaiting him, so strange that Deidara screamed. Standing in front of him was Hiruko, Sasori, for all Deidara knew, split in half and a child looking person standing over him with nothing but pants on and craving tools in his hand. Deidara, without thinking, tackled the person to the ground and pinned him underneath him.
Sasori freaked, being pinned under another body, he struggled to break free of Deidara's grasp. Deidara then yelled, "What did you do to Sasori-Sama?" Sasori taken back by the yell stopped for a moment when suddenly Deidara lashed out at him slapping him across the face. Sasori now brought back by the impact, struggled more again; writhing against Deidara. "Let go of me Brat! Let go! STOP TOUCHING ME!" Startled by the outburst Deidara's grip slackened just enough for Sasori to slip out of the confines of Deidara's grasp.
Sasori grabbed a craving knife and pointed it at Deidara before calmly stating, "Deidara it is me, Sasori. What you see there is a puppet named Hiruko. I make puppets and use them as my weapons, Hiruko being my favorite work of art. I am Akasuna no Sasori. This is my true form." Deidara stared blankly before saying "How do I know it's really Sasori-Sama?"
Suddenly footsteps were heard and Zetsu, Kakuzu, and Itachi showed. Itachi moved to Deidara while Zetsu to Sasori. "Deidara this is Sasori. He is not lying. He hides his self behind Hiruko." Zetsu said looking over Sasori for any marks. Addressing both Deidara and Sasori Kakuzu asked "Two things, One, Who is going to pay for the damage cause it's not going to be me." Turning and looking directly at Sasori Kakuzu asked, "Are you alright? Did he hurt you? Can I kill him?" Eyeing Deidara maliciously, He grinned.
Sasori shook his head and replied, "I am fine, just a little shaken up. I will be fine." Turning from Kakuzu to Deidara, Sasori glared and said "Brat, for your incompetence and disregard for privacy, you will pay for the damage." Deidara glared at Sasori shocked, "How am I to do that?" He hissed. Sasori smirked and replied. "Akatsuki gets what could be thought as an allowance. Each week or month, whichever you prefer, you can put a payment down which Kakuzu will manage. Talk to him about it later because I wish to retire."
With that said Sasori shooed everyone out of his room, except Deidara who now lived there, and lied down on his bad staring at the ceiling and shuddered. Deidara glanced at Sasori before turning onto his side and drifting off to sleep, not even bothering to change. Sasori, unable to sleep due to being mostly puppet, began working once again upon Hiruko until sunrises early rays were peeking through the curtains.
