Sasuke moved swiftly and quietly to the entrance hoping that Kabuto wouldn't come around to stop him, but unfortunately, he wasn't in such luck.

"And where do you think you're going Sasuke-kun?" a voice behind him asked. Sasuke inwardly cursed.

"Out." He replied. "I just need some fresh air. I'll be back soon." Not waiting for a response, Sasuke quickly left the hideout.

Kabuto smirked at the closed door knowingly. He went to where Orochimaru was waiting for him.

He opened the door and saw him sitting on his throne like chair, a snake curling around it. "Well," he drawled. "Where do you suppose he went off to?"

Kabuto smirked. He knew Orochimaru knew and was that he was just seeing if Kabuto suspected the same thing.

"I'm guessing he went to go see Naruto-kun. Ever since we told him about Deidara, he hasn't been in the best of moods." He smiled.

Orochimaru chuckled and the sound echoed of the walls of the dim lit room. "I thought so. He still has feelings for him."

That evening, Deidara and Naruto made their way to the festival. It was a warm night and the Music carried through the wind.

"Wow! It's beautiful!" Naruto exclaimed, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the festival. Deidara looked down at him and smiled. "Come on! Let's go!" Deidara grabbed Naruto's hand and pulled him through the crowd. They stopped at a booth with fish bowls placed all around.

"Now you can get that goldfish named after me." Deidara smirked. Naruto blushed but smiled. "Yeah!" They bought two nets with a paper bottom and Naruto carefully attempted to capture a fish.

Deidara smiled at the look on his face. Naruto's eyes were set on the bowl and a pink tongue stuck out past his lips in concentration. Suddenly, the net broke.

"Aw man! I almost had it!" he pouted. Deidara chuckled and grabbed the other net. "Here, let me try." Deidara expertly scooped the fish under the paper net and took it out in a matter of seconds. The Lady behind the counter gave them their own bowl and food and placed the fish inside. "Thank you!"

Deidara smiled and looked at Naruto. He was staring at the bowl with his mouth wide open.

"Careful Naru, you don't want me to take your open mouth as an invitation." He winked. Naruto blushed heavily and snapped his mouth shut. "Pervert" he mumbled. Deidara laughed and handed Naruto the fish bowl. "Here." Naruto smiled down at the fish and then back at Deidara.

"Thank you!" he grinned with his eyes closed. Now it was Deidara's turn to blush and he turned away. "Yeah sure, whatever. Let's go get something to eat." Naruto laughed and started walking along side him.

Sasuke stared down from the tree he was hiding in at the scene in front of him. Couples were walking together hand in hand and little kids were running around. His Sharingan was activated and was scanning the festival intently. He stopped when he came across a familiar chakra signature and a head of blond hair. His eyes widened as he saw him.

The yukata Naruto was wearing hugged the curves that had definitely not been there before he left and made his eyes stand out. The baby fat he once had was now gone and his face was sharper and his once spiky hair had smoothed out a bit and framed his face. He looked Naruto up in down but stopped when he noticed he was talking and laughing with someone. He looked to the man next to Naruto and his eyes narrowed.

His Sharingan eyes could see through the genjustsu Deidara had put up and he growled. "So this is Deidara huh?" he thought to himself. Naruto was talking aimlessly at him while eating his dangos.

Sasuke wasn't planning on doing anything drastic. There were too many people here and he didn't want to cause a scene.

He just wanted to see this Deidara person for himself. He watched Naruto freeze and knew he had been noticed, and quickly disappeared.

Naruto stared at the empty tree curiously. He thought for sure…but no. It couldn't be. Sasuke was gone with Orochimaru. What would he be doing here? "Naruto? What's wrong?" Naruto turned to look at Deidara. "Nothing. I'm fine!" he said. Deidara looked at him suspiciously before shrugging it off and continuing.

"Naruto!" Someone called. They turned around to see Sakura running towards them with Lee, Kiba, and Hinata close behind.

"O-Oh hey sakura-chan!" He smiled. He hoped they wouldn't notice anything about Deidara. Even with a strong genjustsu up, Hinata had her byakugan and would be able to see through it.

Sakura was about to reply when she noticed the man standing next to her. Naruto pretended to remember that he was there. "Oh yeah, Sakura-Chan, this is Len, granny Tsunade's nephew. He's visiting Konoha so I thought I would be fun to take him to the festival.

Deidara smiled and bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you all." Sakura smiled and bowed as well.

Naruto caught sight of Kiba and Hinata and smiled. "Well Kiba, How is your date with Hinata going?" He asked slyly. "F-Fine!" Kiba blushed. Hinata blushed as well and giggled. "H-Hello, Naruto-kun." Naruto smiled at her and turned to Sakura again.

"I see you came with Bushy Brows." He teased. Now it was sakura's turn to blush. "Y-Yeah well, he was very sweet and even gave me flowers. There was no way I could have said no! You know I'm a sucker for romance!" She defended.

Naruto laughed. "Sure, sure. Whatever you say." Three years ago, Naruto would have been full of jealousy but had grown to see Sakura more as a sister. He still loved her, just not in that way.

"Well, were gonna go eat somewhere. You two are welcome to come with us" Sakura said. Naruto waved her off. "Naw, its fine. I'm going to show Len around a bit more." Sakura smiled. "Okay. See you around. Bye Naruto! Nice to meet you Len!" She called.

"Likewise." Deidara replied.

"The fireworks are going to start soon. Why don't we go find a spot to watch them?" Deidara suggested. Naruto smiled and nodded.

They found a spot on a small hill under a tree. From there, you could see the fireworks clearly.

Deidara watched Naruto as the colors from the explosions lit up his face. Normally, he too would be watching the display because for his love of explosions, but he seemed unable to look away from Naruto this time.

Naruto noticed Deidara staring and turned his head to face him. "What's wrong?" He asked tilting his head to the side. Deidara smiled and leaned to capture Naruto's lips with his.

It was a soft kiss and only lasted a few seconds, but when Deidara pulled back, Naruto's eyes were wide and despite the dim light he could clearly see the blush. "You, you pervert! Taking advantage of the situation!"

Deidara laughed and pulled Naruto to his chest. At first, Naruto sat frozen in shock but then slowly hugged back.

Deidara wanted to make the most of his time with Naruto. After all, the day after tomorrow he was leaving and he didn't know when he would see the blond again, or even if he would ever see him again at all.
