Apologize for the short chapter. I decided to post this as soon as I can. Dedicated to those who review and alerted this story. Edited to tell which one's the flashback.
------------------------------------------------
Move! Deidara ordered his body, numbed from the cold, he could see Tobi making a move, but then Tobi suddenly stopped.
Why? Deidara thought in confusion, is he giving me time to run away so he could chase me? What can I do? His hands were trembling, Deidara knew his next move would decide it.
"Try and blow me up!" Tobi yelled.
Deidara froze, what was Tobi up to?
"Blow me up with your pathetic excuse for art," Tobi yelled.
Was this a test? Deidara thought very tempted to raise his hand and blow his partner up, but then again, was this a trap?
Deidara remembered that Tobi was able to survive every one of his attacks, even if Deidara wasn't really trying. Either Tobi was a really good dodger, or Deidara was a terrible aim. He hoped it was option two.
------------------------------------------------
"Tobi," Deidara said, after the masked nin had woken up from the use of his C2, "how do you managed to survive every single one of my explosions hmm?"
Tobi looked up puzzled, "but I got hit by them senpai, I thought I almost died back there."
"Even I thought you died," Deidara said, turning his back to get a glass of water, "but you always survive, makes me wonder hmm."
"Oh your art is really powerful senpai," Tobi said enthusiastically, "its just that Tobi is really lucky!!"
"Does that mean I'm really unlucky?" Deidara demanded dumping water on Tobi's head, "now get up and start moving!"
"Right," Tobi said standing up easily, like someone who had just woken from a nap.
Deidara glared suspiciously. "What senpai?" Tobi asked without a hint of discomfort.
"Nothing hmm."
------------------------------------------------
Deidara then noticed that that was an unusual darkness surrounding his clay bird. He made his decision it was now or never. Closing his eyes Deidara made the seal KATSU!
The tiny bomb exploded, sending several large rocks to fall, Deidara sighed, if he had more clay, he probably would have destroyed the cave along with Tobi.
Deidara heard Tobi yelling, "NOOOOOOOOO!" Wiping off excessive water on his face, Deidara turned back to the inn, he knew that Tobi could easily escape this kind of explosion. The only question was when?

"You sure you want to head this way?" an old man in a cart had asked the young lady traveling alone, "sweet young thing like you."
"I'm a man," the young man said in annoyance.
"Wow really?" the old said smiling, at the look of annoyance the young man gave him, "don't give me that scary look. I understand how it feels…"
Deidara gritted his teeth, "look here old man, I'm just looking for the recent large explosion around these parts, if you give me the directions, I'll be on my way hmm."
"It will the unknown crater, ten miles in that direction," the old man pointed.
"Thanks hmm," Deidara said walking in that direction.
"You wouldn't want to go there," the old man said seriously, "there have been sightings of funny dressed people near there."
Deidara stopped, "funny, what kind of funny clothes hmm?"
"There were two of them, both dressed in some big cloaks with clouds on them," the old man said a bit worried.
Must be Itachi and Kisame, Deidara thought, trust those two to want see one of my greatest works, "thanks pops, but I'm still going hmm."
"No wait, I remember," the old man said, "there were reports of a third one. All dressed like the other two. But I don't think you should be worried."
"Oh?" Deidara said with one raised eyebrow, "why's that hmm?"
"The third one's a she," the old man said, "and she's a sweet young thing like you."
Funny, Deidara thought, I have never seen a female in our organization. "I'm still going hmm."
Realizing it was a futile effort, the old man shook the reins to tell his mule to move, "good luck boy."
Deidara didn't reply, what did he need with luck?
------(A/N- with an evil author around you need trunk loads dei-chan P)---------------------------------------
The side of his largest explosion to date was huge, but it definitely wasn't ten miles. More like five. Deidara thought a bit disappointed must be because Tobi interfered, Deidara thought, in anger but his rage was quickly cooled to something akin to sadness. "Stupid brat," Deidara said softly.
"Fancy meeting you here," came a feminine voice from behind him. Deidara flinched and quickly prepared himself for attack, he had not been able to sensed the presence of another. So this woman must be …
"Are you from Akatsuki?" Deidara asked cautiously turning around. But a kunai was pressed to his throat. Deidara caught a flash of dark blue hair, the familiar cloak and…
"A flower?" Deidara asked, "I don't remember seeing any member of Akatsuki wearing a flower hmm."
"You weren't observant," she whispered. Deidara could sense she was angry.
"What…what did I do hmm?" Deidara asked, okay angry female, I don't remember meeting her before.
"You had an affair with the man I love Deidara," she whispered, "and now I'm going to kill you."
---------------------------------------------
