The Whisper Tree
SasoDei
--
It was completely dark outside. The sky was clear and moon was shining very bright that night. It was perfect weather for the two mysterious figures jumping through the forest.
The mission had gone easier than expected. They had quietly infiltrated the building,and had made their way to the scroll without being spotted. There was barely any security guarding the scroll and the few people that were guarding it didn't seem to put up much of a fight. Either this scroll didn't contain much,Sasori thought,or the real security would be coming soon.
"Be on your guard,Deidara,"Sasori told him. They would both have to be very cautious from here on out if they were to finish the mission successfully.
"Yes Danna,un,"Deidara replied and with that they both quickened their pace.
They had traveled about thirty-five miles out of town north before they came across a clearing. At this they quickly stopped,Sasori cursed, now he had to make the decision to either go around the clearing or go through it. If he went around it it would take more time,but the chances of them being caught were less likely. If they went straight through the clearing the risk was larger,but it would be the quicker and easier path to choose. Sasori studied the clearing,it was just one large circle with a single tree in the middle. If Sasori had to guess,he would say it was a unofficial outpost to the city. Which meant there were probably guards some where close by. Sasori began to become impatient with himself. If he didn't make a decision soon they were going to be caught just standing around with their hands in their pockets.
"We're going straight though the clearing."
Deidara looked up at him in shock. "Straight though the clearing Danna,un. Are you sure thats the wises thing to do? We could get caught,un!" Deidara replied in a exasperated voice.
"Are you disobeying me Deidara,"Sasori said sharply,now looking at Deidara with a cold look on his face.
Deidara took a step back at this. "No Danna,it's just that-,"
"Good I didn't think so." Sasori said,cutting him off and with that he jumped down into the clearing. He soon felt the blond's presence behind him and they started to run. So far so good,Sasori thought,if they kept this up then they should be out of the clearing in no time. As if to prove him wrong there was a crack of a twig behind them. Sasori pulled to a quick halt and listened. He sensed people and a lot of them. He turned to face Deidara,who had stopped right behind him.
"Their here,"he said coldly and as he finished his sentence, they were suddenly surrounded by over a hundred shinobi ninja. He turned back round to find he was facing their leader,only but a few yards away.
He was short,but lean and seemed to have many years of experience on him. He step forward from the group and said in a stern voice,"Return us the scroll and we'll let you go with only a few injury's."
At this Deidara gave a short smirk and said,"We should be saying that to you."
A little childish,but could Sasori blame him. Did this guy actually think he was going to take the scroll from them?
At this the short man gave a low scowl and said,"Last time,give us the scroll or else."
"I'll give you something alright,"Deidara said smiling and before Sasori could tell him to with-drawl and let him handle it he had chucked a small bomb in their direction. Only the short man and a few other shinobi had been able to dodge the attack and thats when the fight had begun.
Sasori would hardly call it fighting though,Deidara was blowing up people left and right and he barely had to move from his spot. BOOM! They all seemed to fight the same way to Sasori. Left kicks,right punches,and the occasionally throw of a kuni. BOOM! He was starting to think Tobi would be better competition than these people. A swift punch on his left and a low kick on his right,both were stabbed before they had even touched him. BOOM! These explosions were starting to give him a headache. Couldn't Deidara do anything else than explode things!?
Thats when he heard it. A shrilling yell from behind him that made his skin crawl. He turned around dreading what he'd see,but the truth was more horrific then he ever could have imagined. Deidara had been pinned up against the tree,in the center of the clearing,with several weapons(mostly kunis). He seemed unable to move and was bleeding terribly. His hands had been pierced though with kunis to prevent any more bombs from being made. They had stripped him from his cloak(somehow) and were now gathering in a small circle around the tree. The small man began to approach Deidara with a small weapon in his right hand.
Sasori realized what was going to happen and the really started to fight. He took out a string of weapons and begun to throw them skillfully at people. Never missing a person he started making his way over to the tree. The small circle of people(including the small man)must have heard their fellow comrades dying behind them,because all of them were coming at him now. Quickly Sasori pulled out a scroll and summoned two different types of puppets. The people hesitated when they saw the sight of these puppets,but never the less continued coming toward him. A pull of a few strings and the real man saluter began. His puppets moved swiftly through the people,both killing them two different ways. One wilded a long sword that sliced through people like butter. The other was pouring an agonizing acid on people that burned straight through their flesh. People began dropping left and right before him and the battle became at his mercy. Some had started to run,but Sasori was determined to kill every last one of them for the pain they had put through his partner. People were dropping on their knees pleading for mercy,but Sasori would have none of it and he killed them without a second thought.
Most of the people were soon dead by now excepted a very important one he wanted. Sasori looked around for the small man that was leading the group and then found him with a horrified look on his face. The small man had somehow managed to escaped him with a small leg injury and had limped over to Deidara's body. He slowly rose a kuni above his head with all the effort he had left and then...stab
A few moments had past then,wide eyed,the small man fell over still clutching the kuni in his hand. Sasori stood over his body allowing the new blood on his hand drip over the man's body before picking up the man's dead body and toss it aside.
It was done. The sun had begun to rise and when he looked around, he was slightly amazed at what he saw. Over a hundred dead shinobi laid on the field. The once ripe green grass had turned a dark red with the blood. The air reeked with the stench of death and no doubt the wind would soon be carrying it over to the city. Sasori stood there over his partner. By now a wave of emotions had hit him. Grief,pain,hurt,fear,guilt,sadness,etc... It slowly became agonizing just to look at his partner in such a state. He turned his head and saw a small sword nearby. It became clear in his mind what he had to do. Slowly he went over and picked up the sword. He returned to his partner and felt his heart become heavy with grief. He lifted Deidara's head and raised the sword to his neck. Deidara's eyes quickly flew open at the touch of the sword's cold metal against his neck. His eyes went to the sword,to Sasori,back to the sword, and then settled back on Sasori.
"danna,"he said,it came out in such a small strained whisper that Sasori almost couldn't hear it. Deidara's eyes began to swell with tears. "why,u-un.?" He began to choke and cough violently on this last part and it took him awhile to recover.
Sasori just stood there,one hand holding the sword to Deidara's neck,the other holding up his head up by his hair. The emotions became worst than before and if he had a human body he feared it would be shaking violently by now. He knew he had to do it and be done to end the pain Deidara had caused him. Slowly he tilted the sword upward a little for a better angle,causing it to cut into Deidara's neck a little. The blood tricked down the side of the sword and dripped on to the ground. One swift move now and it should be all over...
