For Eternity, Chapter Four
By Takika
A/N: Thank you for all my reviewers and everyone else who reads this. I'm doing my best to keep this going. If you have any suggestions, let me know. This chapter is kind of cheesy and dumb in my opinion, but whatever. Also, the song Hebi is performing is "Nyphetamine" by Cradle of Filth.

Girls screamed everywhere, invading Deidara's ears like a pierce humming sound. What was this, a boy band concert? For Christ's sake! The girls called for Sasuke and Suigetsu, some for Karin, even, yelling how much they loved them, and how much they want to sleep with them. The gigantic bassist was forgotten like background scenery.
Deidara couldn't figure out what was so great about this Sasuke guy. Yeah, he had a pretty face, but since when did guys wear eyeliner? Deidara decided he needed to get out more. He felt like he'd been living under a rock.
Karin looked just plain odd to Deidara. Was she making her own fashion statement by wearing black thick rimmed glasses with her vibrant red hair? It was like combining 'Emo' and 'Punk.'
And eternity later, the high-pitched screaming died down. Seconds after it did, Hebi began to play. It sounded loud, heavy, and eerie, but melodious all at the same time. Performance alone, Deidara had seen nothing like it. They were all mesmerizing.
Karin strummed her guitar, her hair covering her face as she had it tilted down while she played. She then looked up, her lips nearly brushing the microphone as she sung.
Lead to the river
Midsummer, I waved
A 'V'' of black swans
On with hope to the grave
All through Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones
Karin's voice was astounding, but that's not what shocked Deidara. It was Sasuke's. How could that kid get his voice so…rough? It seemed so unreal, but Deidara decided it was nearly impossible to imitate.
Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain
So I swore to thy razor
That never enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again?
Deidara couldn't really understand what he was saying, but Deidara still liked it. He began to wonder…If Hebi is this good…how good would Akatsuki be?
Sasori leaned his head against the wall as he sat on a bench in the warm-up room. He had no interest in watching Hebi perform. It was just a concert. Just like tonight was just a night. There would be plenty of others.
He drifted into sleep, despite the loud booming from the performing band. Soon, he found himself dreaming….
He watched the blonde eat his chocolate bar messily. He smiled seductively and gingerly licked the chocolate off his fingers.
"Sasori-danna…" The blonde said a little uncertainly.
"What?"
"What would you do if I died?"
Sasori stopped, and leaned back in his seat, considering what he was asked. "I would…die."
"Why would you do that, un?"
"There would be no point in life," Sasori said simply.
"Sasori-danna?"
"What?"
"Promise me you won't die after I do."
"Why should I?"
Deidara leaned over and kissed his cheek. "That way we can meet each other in the next life."
Sasori frowned. They could see each other in the next life even if he died now. He decided to humor Deidara and not reason with Deidara and his logic. "Fine."
"Sasori-san, Sasori-san, Sasori-san," Tobi chanted repeatedly.
Sasori opened his eyes and looked at him irritably. "What, Tobi?"
"Zetsu-san said you are a puppet. Is that true?"
"What?"
"So, are you atomically correct or are you like one of those Ken dolls?"
"Tobi, I should kill—"
"What are you two doing?" Itachi snapped. "We're up."
Sasori got to his feet and headed out of the room, Tobi tagging behind him.
"So, Sasori-san, where are your strings? Does your nose grow like Pinocchio when you lie?"
"No." Sasori said shortly.
"Are you sure? I think you're nose just grew a bit."
Sasori sighed irritably. It was going to be a long night.
