Sorry people, I'll check later the grammar mistakes now I have to read... And thank you so much for your comments. Thank you, thank you.


Deidara looked Tobi suspiciously, but however followed him into the room. Sasori came in last. Deidara placed himself in front as the two others stayed behind. Nobody said anything as the three Akatsuki waited for Pein to talk. It took a few minutes of silence before this happened.

"We have made our decision".

"Are me and danna partners again?" Deidara couldn't stop himself from asking.

"We're afraid… that will not be possible", he answered thoughtfully and continued "However, we are certain you will understand as soon as you'll be informed about the current situation".

"What's that?"

"Sasori, will you come closer".

Pein nodded towards Sasori who was standing in his previous position near the wall. He was half covered by shadows. The crimson haired Akatsuki calmly stepped forwards beside Deidara.

"Deidara… Remember your last mission?"

Deidara simply nodded. It had been a total disaster, but they had both managed to get away with it.

"I understand you were separated and therefore don't know about the incidents that occurred on Sasori's behalf. I understand your confusion. But after what happened, there is simply no way we are capable of having him in the Akatsuki, not as a member at least".

"What happened there?" Deidara questioned looking from Pein to Sasori in turn to turn.

"Sasori was fatally injured".

"He was? Why didn't you tell me danna?"

Sasori shrugged. Pein tilted his head carefully observing this. Deidara was surprised by this. Sasori's true puppet form had never been injured, since he basically never even took it out in a battle. Deidara moved on.

"But he was alright when I came over. How was he healed?"

"That's a good question, very essential indeed. See that's very complicated".

"So, what happened?"

"Did you notice anything different in him? Nothing at all?"

Deidara stopped to think for a second. Was there something he should have noticed? But now it was a bit late, he couldn't remember anything but the almost completely destroyed battleground and Sasori standing in the middle of it. Wait, no, he was down at first. He was seeing how much damage the puppets had suffered.

"No… not in him. But the whole place was a wreck. And a lot of puppets were destroyed, that never happens. That and he had let the enemy ran away. He never does that… This isn't about it is it? I let them ran away too!"

"No, no… Did Sasori tell you that happened?"

"Well, yeah. How come?"

"Just hearing what he said to you".

"What? You're saying he told you a different story?"

"In fact, he didn't tell us anything".

No wonder with the way you've been acting towards him. Deidara snorted, but didn't say anything. He glanced at Sasori. The said redhead stared the hologram passively, blandly being very hard to read to say the least. Despite him being the one who talked to them, the leader seemed to be unwilling to talk without exhortation. Deidara sighed.

"Will you please tell me what happened?"

"Oh yes, now try to remember closely. In what position Sasori was in when you arrived?"

"He was examining his puppets".

"Did he stand or was he kneeled down? Did he sit?"

"I don't know, how is this important? Do you even know what happened to him?"

"I'm pretty sure I'm on a right track. You're just here to refill our knowledge".

Why didn't they ask from Sasori? He certainly knew more than he did. But then again, leader said he didn't talk. He mustn't have wanted them to know. So he was their only option.

"If danna didn't tell you anything, neither am I".

He heard Tobi snicker behind him. Deidara turned to see what he was up to.

"Leader told me what happened. So your puppet did have feelings after all".

"What do you mean by 'did'? He still has".

"Not according to what I've heard."

Deidara scowled at Tobi. Everybody said Sasori had no feelings. They had said that even before Deidara had been forced to join the organization. Nowadays they said that even more than ever. Tobi continued his babble like it was just a meaningless everyday chat.

"After that… There's no way you could say he has any kind of resemblance of feelings".

What happened? What had Sasori done? The other half of him would have done pretty much everything to find out and the other just wanted to lock himself into a wonderland to live happily ever after with his own precious puppet master. He didn't want to know what was so cold-blooded he had done that drove the others call him unfeeling or even worse an object. The same reason he absolutely needed to know. Sasori had lied to him about it. And there was much more to come.

"Tell me. I don't care how bad it is".

Tobi giggled a bit.

"Well, you asked for it. You know the other one of his enemies was this beautiful girl. Oh yes, what a catch".

Deidara felt nervous about this. He really shouldn't have asked. He didn't want to know where this was going to. He could just stop him from saying nothing more. But that was already too much. Way, way too much to his desires. Tobi sneaked closer to him so he could whisper the rest into his ear. Deidara's eyes grew wider. No, no, no, no… Please tell me it's not true.

"No… no he couldn't. No that's not true".

"Oh yes it is. Well, was I right? I was right, wasn't I?"

Stop. Stop, you're only making it worse. Deidara changed his direction to Sasori. He glared at him at the same time shaking his head in disbelief. He was so scared. He was scared that it was true. His lower lip started shaking. Sasori looked lost and distressed.

"How could you?" he said if only in a whisper.

"No! It isn't like that! He's lying! Don't believe what he says!" Sasori tried to convince evidently panicking.

"But… It makes so much sense… All the things they said… It was true…"

"No, no, no! Deidara, please! You have to believe me! Don't do this!"

"You… you promised…"

"It doesn't change how I feel! I love you! Nothing has to change! Everything can be the same!"

He backed away from Sasori. Deidara didn't want to look at him anymore. It felt too horrible. No, no he couldn't. But yet he found trouble to move away. He just wanted to run away. Somewhere far, away from everything. Forget anything had ever happened. But how could he? He could never forget, never move on. The pain would be too horrible to bear with. He didn't know what was going to happen. He was scared and he was confused. He didn't know what to do.

"I… I can't… I have to… I can't take this…"

Deidara turned to run, long ago formed tears running down his cheeks, pushing Tobi out of his way to the door. He stopped when he heard the heartbroken cry from behind.

"Deidara… Don't leave me. Everybody else did. I love you… Please, don't leave me. Not you too. I need you. Please, don't".

He froze still. Now Sasori sounded truly scared, scared that he would leave him. Not just panicked. He didn't want to go. He considered the possibility of just returning back. Sasori was right, he could just forget it. They could go back to the way thing were. Deidara quickly blocked himself from thinking further. It was crazy. Things could never be the same again. He couldn't even look at him. See saw now, he saw too clearly for him to be around him. And with that, he ran. He ran until he broke.
