Chapter 4: Paranoia

Authors Note: I am so sorry this took so long guys! My internet was out for a few days. However! During that time I wrote the rest of this entire story on Word! So no more long waits! Enjoy!

Why is Sasori mad? I don't understand….Hmmm…Well at least The Graw will be okay with Leader Pein protecting it…

…

….

Soooooo boooooored...Deidara thought as he lay down on his bed, staring at the blank ceiling.

With a sigh he turned his head to the side. And a smile crept onto his face as his eyes connected with his beautiful clay.

Getting up, a little woozy he might add, he walked over toward his work table and grabbed the bag of clay that lay there, bringing it back with him to his bed as he took it out and began molding his favorite shapes.

MEANWHLE…

Sasori had just poured a packet of chicken noodle soup for his partner into a pot on the stove and was now stirring the substance when he heard the cheerful tones of Tobi skipping down the hallway.

Terrific…

"Helloo Sasori! What a lovely afternoon!" Tobi exclaimed brightly.

"I don't care Tobi. What do you want?" Sasori growled.

"Oh! Tobi just wanted to see how Deidara was doing!"

"Nothing has changed. Except his common sense…" Sasori muttered.

"Hahaha. What does Sasori mean?" Tobi cocked his head to the side.

"Don't worry about it. Now are you going to offer me any useful information on curing Deidara, or are you just to stand there and gawk?" He narrowed his eyes at the masked-nin, already irritated simply by his presence.

"Oh no Sasori! Tobi doesn't know anything…" He hung his head sadly. "But!" He sprang up. "Tobi does know that Zetsu-san is getting better, so maybe Deidara will too soon!"

"Yeah, that makes sense…" Sasori rolled his eyes.

"Oh! Sasori! Can Tobi take that soup to Deidara?"

"No."

"Why not?" Tobi complained.

"Because you'll spill it, idiot. And then I'll have to make more."

"But Sasori….Tobi won't-"

"Shut up and go away."

"Uh-oh…okay Sasori…" Tobi hung his head as he walked away.

Idiot…

Sasori looked at the now hot soup and poured a bowl for his partner as he headed toward his room.

Slowly opening the door in case his partner was getting his much needed sleep, Sasori was gratefully met with his partner sitting up on his bed, molding some shapes of his precious clay, rather than having run off again. The blond bomber looked up at Sasori and smiled.

"Danna! You've brought me soup!"

Sasori frowned. Already that blond bomber sounded normal again. Well, reasonably normal. Maybe he was getting better….

"Yeah I have. Now put that clay away and eat up."

"Okay!"Deidara smiled as he sat his clay down before taking the soup and gulping it down.

"Ah!"

"Idiot, don't you know to let it cool?" Sasori sighed.

"Haha…Sorry Danna. I wasn't thinking…

Not the first time…Sasori added to himself.

"So Sasori!" Deidara suddenly shouted, causing his partner to flinch before shooting daggers at his partner.

"What?" the Suna-nin snapped.

"What mission are we taking today?" Deidara asked happily.

"None."

"Why?"

"You're sick."

"But…I feel fine!" Deidara smiled broadly.

"Exactly. Normally you'd be complaining about something by now…"

"Hahaha…I see Sasori…So what are we doing today?"

"You're resting. I'm working on my poisons."

"Ohhhhhh, how fun! Can I watch?"

Sasori was getting reeeeal tired of his happy-go-lucky Deidara. He preferred the much-out-of-it Deidara to this…

"No," he replied firmly as he headed out the door.

"Awwww, but I want to do something fuuuun…" Deidara complained.

Huh! Yeah right. Fun for that brat would be-Sasori suddenly froze.

Immediately turning around the Suna-nin grabbed the blond bomber's clay from the bedside, with a cry of protest from Deidara, before leaving, shutting the door with a THUD!

There's no way in hell I'm dealing with that blond psycho and his explosions…

"Sasori!" Deidara called.

But his partner did not come back.

"Oh maaan…Sasori took the rest of my clay…." Deidara looked down sadly at his last piece…

MEANWHILE:

Sasori was busy working on one of his newest poisons in the quiet of his own room. Although he wouldn't admit it, he was trying to find an antidote for his partner first, but simply did not have any ingredients to work with, so settled to do something more productive. It was this productivity that was rudely interrupted by a-

BANG! BANG! BANG! "SASORI! SASORI! TOBI HAS GREAT NEWS!" BANG! BANG! BANG!

Sasori threw open the door, fuming, with a, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT, TOBI!?"

"ZETSU-SAN FOUND AN ANTIDOTE FOR DEIDARA, SASORI!" Tobi jumped ecstatically.

"What?" Sasori asked, unbelievingly, immediately making his way toward the plant man's room.

"Yes! Yes Sasori! Zetsu-san found an antidote!" Tobi skipped eagerly beside the Suna-nin as they entered Zetsu's room.

"Well I can't say for sure it's an antidote…" Dark Zetsu replied irritably as he looked through a microscopic lens. "However, it is promising…*cough* *cough* According to what we found, it seems that a concoction of this plant of mine may reduce the effects on Deidara's body and mind..."

"Whatever. As long as it works," Sasori growled.

"Oh, it will. Well he hope it will…"

"Fine. Then make it," Sasori ordered.

"We already are…" White Zetsu gave him a glare. "Don't rush us…" Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes at the Suna-nin. "You're lucky we're even helping you. He would be more worthwhile as lunch for us…Don't say that. Deidara is a great asset to this organization. We need him. This has nothing to do with one member. But all of them…"

Sasori rolled his eyes. "Fine. Just get it done as soon as you can. I don't know how much longer Deidara is gonna be in this new, euphoric state of his-"

BOOM!

Sasori sighed. "My point exactly…"

"On no! Deidara's blown something up! He's in danger!" Tobi shrieked.

"More like we're in danger. Let's go," growled Sasori as the two Akatsuki members hurried out the door.

"You all just go…*cough* *cough*…we'll stay here. And don't come back," Zetsu added with a glare as he locked the door with a click!

"Sasori? Um…What do you think Deidara did?" Tobi asked as he trailed alongside the puppet master.

"Blew something up, what else?" Sasori snapped.

"But..um…why?" Tobi asked curiously.

"How should I know! He's insane!"

"Could it be because he had some of Zetsu's medicine, maybe?" Tobi asked hopefully.

You have got to be kidding me, Sasori thought. "Of course it is!"

"Oh. Tobi sees then. So…what should Tobi do to help Deidara?"

"I don't know! Why are you asking me-" Sasori stopped. Tobi could very well be useful. They'd need someone to distract Deidara probably while someone gave him the antidote, once Zetsu finally finished it...

"You will be needed after all Tobi…" Sasori spoke.

"Really!" Tobi asked ecstatically. "How can Tobi help, Sasori?"

"I'll let you know when the time comes…For now, let's find him and take him down…He's a danger to everyone else in the base in his state..."

"How do we do that, Sasori?"

Sasori turned to face the masked-nin with a glare. "Alright Tobi. Listen and listen good."

MEANWHILE:

"Oops…well that didn't get the Graw…" Deidara muttered, glaring at the ceiling.

thump! thump! thump! thump!

Deidara spun his head behind him.

Footsteps. Better be careful. Could be an enemy…I'll play it safe for now…

Quickly hiding behind a nearby wall, the rock-nin brought down his chakra levels and waited.

"Alright. You go that way, I'll go this way. Just shout if you find him. Get Kisame and Itachi out here too," Deidara heard the deep, growly voice of his partner.

Huh! No chance in hell you'll find me Sasori. Not when I have a mission to accomplish you just want to take the credit for yourself!

Upon hearing his partner leave, Deidara ran across the room and into another hiding place.

I better get this done right. The fact that I missed my target the first time is a disgrace. Although in my defense it suddenly disappeared into thin air…What enemy can DO that-

"Deiiiiiidarraaaa!"

Deidara cringed at hearing the voice of his 2nd least favorite Akatsuki member call his name.

That idiot! All this noise will scare away the enemy!

"Deiiiidaarraaaa! Where are you?"

On no…Not Tobi! Urrrrgg…I don't have time for this!

"Deeeeeidaaaraaaa! Where are yo-mmm!" Tobi struggled as a hand suddenly grabbed his mouth from behind, silencing him.

"Shh! Quiet Tobi!" Deidara hissed.

Tobi stopped immediately. Then muffled, "Deiguga?"

Deidara rolled his eyes. "Yes," he muttered irritably, loosening his hold a bit on Tobi's mouth.

"Oh Deidara! Tobi is so glad you're-"

"Shhh! Idiot! What did I just tell you!" Deidara hissed.

"Oh! Sorry Deidara…" Tobi whispered.

Deidara sighed before looking around suspiciously.

"So…have you seen it?"

"Seen what Deidara?" Tobi asked curiously.

"The Graw, what else!" The blond bomber snapped.

"Um…Tobi does not know what that is, Deidara."

"Huh! Figures…you don't know what anything is…"

"Would Deidara mind telling Tobi then?"

"Fine…The Graw is a…" Deidara stopped to think. What was it?

"Well, you'll know it when you see it. There's nothing like it…" Deidara scanned his surroundings.

"Well okay, Deidara!" Tobi smiled. "I will help you find it!"

"Huh! I doubt you'll help in any way, but maybe provide a distraction…" Deidara muttered to himself.

"What?"

"Nothing. Just keep quiet-"

"DEIDARA! GET OUT HERE! NOW!" Sasori yelled.

Immediately Deidara grabbed hold of Tobi, once more covering the masked man's mouth.

"Don't…say…a word…" he warned.

Tobi nodded vigorously.

"DEIDARA! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW!"

Footsteps could be heard and rummaging around in the nearby living room as the duo kept silent as mice.

"Don't think he's here, Sasori…" Kisame spoke.

"That damn brat is out here all right. He's just hiding…" Sasori growled.

"Why do you think so? I thought he was just having hallucinations and looked pretty out of it, hahaha…." Kisame chuckled.

"Who knows why he does HALF the things he does, even when he is in the right…his right state of mind…"

"Well whatever the reason…We won't find him like this…And I can't flood the room….Nor can you tear it apart…Leader Pein wouldn't be too happy about that…"

"You think I don't know that?" Sasori narrowed his eyes at the shark man. "We could have easily found him by now, if he was anywhere but here! He's too smart for his own good…"

"Well, what do you suppose we do now?" Kisame asked.

Sasori sighed in thought, only to be interrupted by a monotone voice Deidara recognized all too well as his biggest rival and enemy.

"You haven't had any luck?" Itachi asked flatly.

"That kid sure is good at hiding," Kisame answered.

"Maybe you should try another approach."

"And what do you exactly have in mind, Itachi?" Sasori growled.

Itachi's eyes glanced around the area. Then said, "Follow me."

As Deidara heard the footsteps of the members walk away, his grip loosened somewhat on Tobi's mouth, as the masked-nin exclaimed in a whisper.

"Tobi gets it now! We're playing hide and go seek!"

"Yes we are. Now shut up. We're leaving," Deidara ordered as they both stood up.

"But-that's against the rules Deidara-"

"Do I look like I follow the rules, Tobi?"

"Um….no."

"Then shut up and let's go."

"Okay Deidara!"
