BTW, this fic WILL NOT contain anything sexual.. at all.. -.- and I'm changing my penname to ChazzyChizzle tomorrow. Just a heads up.

Sasori huffed, crossed his arms, and quickened his pace. He was only trying to be nice, so why did Deidara blow up at him? It's not like he poisoned the fish . . . right? That thought made the redhead stop dead in his tracks and recall the moment wherein he caught those fish. Once he was absolutely sure that he did not remember poisoning the fish, he resumed his walk into the deeper end of the forest.

"I need to find a clearing . . . maybe I can make my own shelter far away from that stupid brat . . ."

In the distance, he heard a large roar caused by rushing water. He wondered what was causing it, so he ran towards the noise.

He slipped, tripped, struggled, fumbled, and stumbled, but he continued running. His curiosity simply had to be quenched. He just had to occasionally grab onto a vine to keep himself from falling.

The Akasuna stopped running when the roar got deafeningly loud. He walked slowly towards the source of the noise, which seemed to be blocked by large leaves. He tentatively moved the leaves aside, and his eyes nearly fell out of their sockets at the sight.

A large waterfall was there, the water gathering at the pool at the bottom a nice crystalline blue, and mist surrounding the point wherein the waterfall connected to the pool, making everything blurry and dream-like. A couple of fishes swam here and there, and there was a lot of multicolored flowers dotting the banks of the pool. He took everything in slowly, savoring the scene.

"Too bad this won't be here forever . . ." he whispered. "I must show this to the brat."

And with that statement, he turned around and trekked back to the campsite, only to find it empty.

Meanwhile, the blonde in question stood under the spray of that same waterfall, bathing peacefully.
