"This is always so boring un!" Deidara said to himself while perched up on a building.
It was true, reconnaissance was about the most boring thing you could do, since it vary rarely resulted in any action. Usually you just found a spot that looked good and waited for something to happen. Just as he was getting up to leave, he could here footsteps approaching accompanied with a voice.
"You're hair looks better when you wear it up."
Deidara quickly turned to face the intruder, accidentally tripping and slipping off of the building. Deidara's guest quickly grabbed him and helped him up. The blond was thankful, but that changed when he looked up to see his helper.
"You…" Deidara growled, staring at him.
It was Hiruko, dressed the same as the night before.
"Hmm, you'd think you'd be a little grateful." He smugly replied.
"What d'you want un? Killing Tobi not enough?"
"I thought you'd be grateful for that too, I could've bit him, then you would've had to kill him." As Deidara thought about it he realized he was right, and that he might not be trying to hurt him. "And it's not what I want, it's what Sasori wants."
Sasori…the one thing he couldn't keep out of his mind. Now he was absolutely sure, for whatever reason, he was safe.
"What's he want un?"
"This isn't exactly the best place to discuss it, how's dinner sound? My treat." Hiruko said, confusing the blond.
"Sure un, just don't try anything with me."

"Sandaime, where's Hiruko at?" The redhead asked his underling.
"He said he had to take care of something for you, I thought you knew."
"No, but as long as he isn't out harassing Dei…" He said, trying to cut himself out before he accidentally spoke his thoughts.
"You know, if you really like him just say it, it's not like we'll think any less of you." Sandaime replied, putting a blush on his superiors face.
"It's not you I'm worried about, it's the fact he's a hunter. You don't just wake up one morning and decide, 'Oh, I think I'll spend the rest of my life killing vampires!' something fucked him up somewhere along the line, which means me and him aren't gonna happen."
"I guess you got a point, but you never know until you try, he did let you kiss him after all." Sandaime replied, deepening Sasori's blush.
"Whatever, just tell me when Hiruko gets back."

The vampire and the blond approached the restaurant, just a little diner Hiruko frequented.
"Not what I expected when you said dinner un." Deidara said as they entered.
"What'd you think, I'd just rip someone's head off and we'd share?" Hiruko replied as he took off his coat and hung it on the rack.
Besides his bandana and boots he was wearing a white muscle shirt and a black pair of shorts. He walked the two into a booth in the back, a waitress soon coming and handing them menus.
"Same thing as always?" She asked, Hiruko nodding and handing the menu back.
"What about your friend here? Need more time?" She asked Deidara, who gave her a quick un as she walked away.
He skimmed through the menu, settling on something right as the waitress came back. She handed Hiruko a beer before looking over at him, signaling him to order.
"I'll have the shrimp un." He said, handing her his menu.
"And to drink?"
"Just water un."
She nodded and walked off, leaving the two to talk.
"So what's Sasori want un?" Deidara asked, getting right to the point.
"In a nutshell, you." He answered, opening the bottle and chugging half of it. "He doesn't shut up about you, so could you do us all a favor and see him?"
"Why should I see him un? Just to make a few vampires lives easier? Maybe you forgot, but I'm paid to kill your kind un." Deidara replied, Frustrating his host.
"Don't play the innocent little hunter now, it's easy to tell you liked that kiss and that you like Sasori, so if not for us do it for yourself."
Deidara looked away and grumbled to himself, realizing that Hiruko was right. The only thing he wanted anymore was to be with Sasori, but that wasn't going to be easily accomplished.
The waitress suddenly came back, handing Deidara a plate full of breaded shrimp and a glass of water and handing Hiruko a steak and another beer.
"Just call if you need anything." She said before walking off.
"Steak? Is that what you always order un?" Deidara asked, grabbing one of his shrimp and popping it in his mouth.
"Deidara, having a harmless dinner with a vampire is about as dangerous as buying deodorant, as long as Sasori wants you neither me or Sandaime can touch you. Besides, this is the rarest steak in town, nice and bloody."
