"Danna, my head hurts." Deidara whined, shaking the sleeping red head awake. "I feel dizzy too... I might throw up... Danna!" The blonde whined again, shaking him harder now. Sasori opened his eyes, still in a daze at what was going on. The two were heading back to the Akatsuki base now and decided to take a rest on the way in the woods. They had just finished up a long mission and had a bit of a break. He was still letting Deidara travel with him inside of Hiruko and... What did he say? He better not throw up inside of his puppet! Before Sasori could react, which was pretty darn quick, the blonde had already thrown up...
Sasori sat still for a moment... He knew some was on him, his precious Hiruko... Oh, and some might have been on Deidara too. He was pissed... But he had to keep calm. Take a few deep breaths. It wasn't the other boys fault he just threw up inside one of his art works. "Deidara, I'm going to kill you!" Sasori growled, opening up the puppet so see how bad the mess really was. "Danna, I'm so sorry!" The blonde pleaded, putting his hands together and bowing. The puppet nin sighed, "Whatever... It wasn't your fault. Now get out. I'm going to put Hiruko back in his scroll so I can clean him later. We'll have to walk the rest of the way now. Here, give me your dirty cloak." Sasori took off his own cloak then and took Deidara's too, throwing them inside the puppet since they both had barf on them.
The blonde shivered, rubbing his bare arms. "But now it's cold, Danna. It's night time." Sasori sighed, taking Hiruko's cloak from him and putting it around the other boys shoulders. Being in his puppet body now the cold didn't affect him. "It's a bit big but... It'll have to do." Deidara nodded, blushing slightly that his Danna was still being kind to him. He held on to the cloak and pulled it over himself, it felt more like carrying a giant blanket. "Thank you, hm." The blonde said gratefully. Sasori made an amused sound, "Since when did we get on thanking terms? So, are you okay to walk or do you still feel sick? I can carry you, just no puking on me again." The red head smirked then, "If you do, I'll throw you on the ground."
"Carry me, Danna!" Deidara exclaimed, enjoying it when the older male took care of him. "Just be careful of my baby." The blonde said while petting his stomach. It was sticking out a bit more now since when they had that fight... It made him self-conscious but as long as Sasori was on his side then he could live with it. "You're so greedy, Deidara. You know it's my baby too." The red head chuckled as the other boy nodded enthusiastically. "I know! -Our- baby then. But mostly mine, hm." Sasori squatted down a bit, "Come on, I'll piggy back you." Deidara got on the other boys back and wrapped his arms around his neck. "And, you know I did put in half the effort." The red head stated, beginning to walk. The blonde rested his head over the others shoulder. "I know, but you don't have to go around like -this- for nine months, hm." Sasori raised an eyebrow, although the other couldn't see him. "Yeah, but I have to hear you complain about it. I think that counts." Deidara chuckled then, "Fair enough, hm."
Silence ensued for a moment until a thought occurred to the blonde. He raised his head slightly, "Danna, can I ask you something?" Deidara said, sounding worried. "Sure." Sasori agreed. "Well... uhm..." He bit his lip nervously, "You haven't even tried to have sex with me since... That time when... You know... When I showed you my stomach. So, I was just wondering... Do you still find me attractive?" Sasori sighed, "Deidara, you threw up over my shoulder and I can still say with full certainty you're beautiful." The blonde couldn't help but smile, "Really, Danna? You're sweet, hm!" "And you smell like barf." The red head added, causing the other boy to frown. "Nevermind, you're an asshole, hm."
The two kept walking, well Sasori with the blonde on his back. "We must look strange, hm? A puppet carrying his pregnant fiance through the woods." Deidara chuckled. Sasori smirked, turning an eye to look at the blonde now resting on his shoulder. "Well, it spices things up at least?" "Hmm... I guess so... Are we almost there, Danna?" The blonde pouted, pulling Hiruko's cloak up over his head. "I'm starting to feel sick again, hm." He whined. "Just about. The red head said quietly, silently wondering what would await them at the base.
The group was finally able to afford a new hide out and Deidara and Sasori were still in the clear. They completed all of their missions on time, just as promised. It was sometimes difficult but Sasori was able to take on most missions solo, despite Deidara's begging to help. After making it back, with Deidara falling asleep, Sasori noticed Hidan and Kakuzu sitting outside. The silver haired man's mouth turned to a smirk once the two approached. "What the fuck? Is blondie in labour already?" Sasori looked up at him boredly, "No. He's sick."
"D'awww, the poor thing." Hidan mocked. "I can find out what's wrong with him for a small fee." Kakazu offered, crossing his arms. "I'll see how he is when he wakes up but thanks for the offer." The puppet nin said, just about to walk in the front door. He noticed Kakazu and Hidan exchange glances with each other, looking almost sympathetic... Did that mean something? Sasori didn't think about it as he carefully turned the knob, making sure not to drop the blonde or wake him from the motions. When he stepped in the doorway, he saw Itachi Uchiha and Kisame... looking as if they were waiting for him to arrive. Sasori could feel the worry inside him, something wasn't right.
He backed away a bit, the movement causing Deidara to groan and flutter his eyes open. "Danna? Are we back now?" The blonde whined, ignoring the other two as if they weren't even there. "Yes." Sasori said quietly, his attention firmly placed on the Uchiha. "Itachi. Kisame." He greeted. "We're very sorry, but it's our orders to do this." The raven said dully, activating his sharingan and Sasori quickly averted his eyes. "Deidara, don't look at his eyes or I'll kill you!" The red head shouted, "You can't fight, so get out of here and run." As he let the blonde down to leave, Sasori looked down at Kisame and Itachi's feet. This would be difficult but he didn't have much choice. He couldn't look up unless he'd be caught in the spell.
Deidara quickly headed out the door and Sasori backed up to gain some more ground. He was a long range fighter so this small space would serve to be difficult for him. Not wasting a second, he pulled out his 3rd Kazekage puppet from its scroll. He could hear Kisame snickering but Itachi just kept silent. What did he even plan to do? He wanted to protect Deidara, but did that mean he now had to kill all of his Akatsuki partners? Was that even possible? He couldn't think about it any longer as Kisame walked towards him, taking out that abomination of a sword from behind him.
The red head growled in frustration, how was he supposed to take on two at once with his partner now almost completely useless? Maybe if it had been one on one. "Are you sure you want to face me? I'll only warn you once, Kisame." Sasori said, venom in his tone. The shark just snickered, "That's not a very bright question, you're the one at the disadvantage. Besides orders were-" Itachi shot his partner an irritated glare and cut him off. "Kisame, watch your mouth, if you talk too much things will go badly." The orders were not to kill Sasori, but the Uchiha knew with that information the red head could fight and be more at ease. Knowing his life wasn't at stake, that they couldn't kill him, would give him an advantage.
Not questioning Itachi's judgement, he was always the intelligence out of the two after all, Kisame swung samehada at Sasori. The boy quickly sent out the Kazekage's iron sand, which even then could barely block the swords strength. It served to slow it down, which was useful in itself but Sasori had to think of a plan quickly before it was too late. He couldn't forget about Itachi either... He just stood there. Was that their plan? To get him to concentrate so much on Kisame so that the other could pull in and make his move? Kisame struck a few more times, all managed to get blocked by the sand. "Wow, if all you do is block, this will never be any fun!" The shark man chuckled, swinging again.
Why couldn't Sasori strike? Had they been his allies for so long now it was impossible to attack them? He'd rather not have this end with him having to take down all of Akatsuki... because he knew that was impossible. Maybe he just wanted to avoid that fate and not striking was the only way? "Danna!" He heard Deidara shout, averting his eyes for a meer second to see Hidan and Kakazu restraining him. They were in on it too? Although, it wasn't too surprising... Pein probably had the whole group in on it. "Oh, you guys caught the mouse!" Kisame exclaimed, putting his sword down on the ground as he watched the two enter. A perfect chance to strike... But could Sasori do it? He could, but they now held what was most precious to him in thier hands... Available to kill him at any second if the puppet made the wrong move.
"We now hold your greatest weakness." Kisame announced, smiling evily at the boy now frozen to the floor. He felt so helpless... This feeling was the worst, worse than depression, hatred, even waiting... But knowing you had no control what so ever on your own fate. "I'm really sorry, Sasori no Danna!" Deidara whined, struggling to get free from Hidan's grasp, which was just futile at this point. He wasn't as strong as he used to be, not now that he was pregnant. He had let down Danna, he had been a burden again and this time not even Sasori could save him. He would probably die... They would both die... His baby would die...
The blonde struggled more, he must've felt helpless too... Sasori watched him sadly, knowing there was nothing he could do to help. Tears streamed down Deidara's face as the reality sunk into him. He'd never get to kiss Danna again, never get to touch him, never get to see his baby, he would just die here... Maybe if he called enough times, Sasori would save him... He never had to fear as long as Danna was looking after him. "Danna, please help!" Deidara begged, causing Hidan to tighten his grasp around his neck. "He can't help you now because he makes one move and I'll kill you, blondie." He continued to cry, maybe hoping if someone managed to feel bad enough they'd help him but nobody did. Nobody cared about him. These allies of his were all willing to kill him just based on an order.
"Why are you all doing this?" Deidara shouted in frustration, "Are you all really heartless bastards, hm?! We've worked together all this time and now you're going to kill me?" He struggled more and Hidan sighed. "Do we have to get him a muzzle? I kill because I like to kill. I'm not in this organization to make friends and I'd kill every one of you without a second thought." A few eyes turned to him then, giving him a quick glare. Hidan continued, "I don't care about your feelings, I don't care about you, your crappy art or your gay romance. It means nothing to me and I hope you know I would kill you without a second thought." "Shut up! I'll blow you all up! My art is absolute! My art will show you!" Deidara shouted more.
"Deidara, be quiet please." Sasori said quietly, causing him to quickly shut up. He looked up at Kisame then, still avoiding Itachi's sharingan. "What do you want me to do? I'll do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt Deidara." He offered, trying to keep calm although he was almost falling apart on the inside. "Well, it's as simple as looking into Itachi's sharingan." Kisame chuckled. "Danna, don't!" Deidara shouted, remembering the time he had looked. He knew this wouldn't be good for Danna! "Please Danna!" "Will you shut the hell up?" Hidan growled, putting his hand over the blondes mouth, the other one still around his neck as Kakazu restrained his arms. Only muffled noises could be heard from him now.
"I'll do it." The red head said, ignoring his fiance's disapproval. What else was there to do? "Will you let Deidara go first? I'm a criminal too you know. I know better than to put blind faith in you and trust you wont hurt him while I'm in the spell." "Take all of their weapons off of them and then let Deidara go." Itachi decided calmly. "Even if they want to fight back they can't do much without their clay or puppets." Hidan took off Deidara's clay pouch and confiscated it in his own cloak, while Kisame took all of Sasori's puppet scrolls. "You don't have any more clay hidden blondie, do you?" The Jashinist smirked, grabbing onto the blondes thigh. "We'll have to do a strip search. I bet you'd like that, a bunch of guys stripping you down, you gay faggot." He spat, making Deidara whine and struggle again.
Sasori's coil came out from his stomach and wrapped around Hidan's arm. "Touch him again and I'll tear it off." Hidan just laughed, "Do that and I'll just get Kakazu to stitch it back on for me, no big deal!" "Hidan, stop fooling around and let Deidara go." Itachi ordered, clearly being the one who called the shots among the group. With that, Hidan let the blonde go. He just stood there, unsure of what to do. He didn't want to leave Danna but he was pretty sure Danna wanted him to leave. After seeing the blonde was free, Sasori returned the coil to his stomach. "What are you waiting for, Deidara? Go. I'm doing this to save you, do you want my efforts to be futile?" The blonde started to tear up again, afraid if he walked out that door that he'd never see Sasori again.
"Deidara, you should go." Itachi said, almost sounding comforting. "Sasori is willing to sacrifice himself for you and I believe that's the strongest form of love. At least let him have his wish of you being safe." The raven continued. He sounded like he understood the situation? Maybe even had went through it himself before? Itachi Uchiha? Deidara just nodded, looking back at Sasori briefly before he headed out the door. He hoped Danna would be okay. He didn't understand why Akatsuki would kill him...
"Okay, I'm ready." Sasori urged, looking up at Itachi's sharingan. "No need to be so impatient, this will only take a few seconds." Kisame chuckled as he could see the puppet being taken by the spell. Soon he fell to his knees, still staring intently at Itachi's sharingan. They knew what would feel like days for Sasori would only be a few seconds to them now. What would Itachi show him? Moments later the puppet collapsed to the floor, completely unconscious. "What did you do to him?" Hidan asked in shock and Itachi just turned to him, emotion void from his face. "I had him relive his past. It was the leaders orders. Now, take him and lock him in one of the cells downstairs. There was a chakra seal placed down there so he wouldn't even be able to move once he wakes up. He uses his chakra strings to control his own body, the down fall of being a puppet..." Itachi looked down at the red head, looking almost sympathetic. "Now, Hidan and Kakazu, I want you to go after Deidara."
Deidara ran frantically through the forest, not used to running as he usually had his clay bird for transportation. He had a feeling after they were done with Sasori they would probably come after him so he had to try his best to get a good head start. It was so dark out, he could barely see!Suddenly the blonde felt himself smack against something and fall to the ground. He hadn't noticed a tree there, what happened? After rubbing his head in pain, he looked up to see Tobi standing before him. "Deidara senpai! You're alive! You're okay!" The young nin exclaimed, how did he catch up to him so quickly? And where did he come from? "They sent you to kill me, hm? That's the biggest insult I can think of." The blonde said gruffly, getting up off the ground. Tobi just shook his head, "I'd never hurt Deidara senpai but Hidan and Kakazu might, they're coming after you."
His blue eye widened, why was Tobi telling him this? Was he on his side? Or just wanted to watch for kicks? Either seemed likely... "Senpai, if you let me help you I promise you'll be okay." The masked nin offered, sounding as cheerful as ever despite the situation. "How can I trust you, hm? All of my allys just turned against me so how can I trust you wont?" Deidara argued before some sounds in the distant caught his attention. He could hear Hidan and Kakazu bickering back forth and they weren't too far away now. "You don't really have another choice, senpai." Tobi said sadly, "And I'm your friend, when haven't I been on your side?" Deidara just nodded, "Okay help then, just hurry."
"Excuse me for this, we just need to be close for my jutsu to work on you too." Tobi said hesitantly, going closer and embracing the blonde. Deidara closed his eyes and the next thing he knew they were somewhere different. It was unlike anywhere he'd seen before, there were just square pillars everywhere, him and Tobi were standing on one now. The rest of the place was dark, there wasn't even a sky, just darkness."Where are we?" The blonde asked in confusion, Tobi letting him go as he decided to sit down. He wrapped Hiruko's cloak around him, the last part of Sasori he had left. "This is Kamui's dimension. It's a jutsu of mine. You'll be safe here, Senpai." Tobi explained, sitting down across from Deidara, giving him his space on the small pillar.
"Is Sasori no Danna okay?" His senpai asked quietly. Tobi glanced off at the other pillars, "Well, he's alive but I'm not sure about his mental state. Pein ordered Itachi to use his sharingan on him, to show him his past. I'm not sure the details but maybe something terrible happened to Sasori before? I don't think leader cares about that persay but he's thinking if he breaks Sasori enough he will be able to control him and force him to abandon you." The masked nin twiddled his thumbs in his lap, "I want to say Sasori senpai is okay, that he'd never do anything like that but... Pain can change people... I hope Sasori remembers where his heart is though."
Deidara felt his heart pang, Sasori had never told him anything about his past before... Could it have been that bad if he didn't mention it? The blonde felt helpless and hurt... He couldn't lose Danna but he also couldn't prevent it, could he? "Tobi, get me some clay, I'm going back to save Danna, hm." Deidara anounced. The masked nin scratched the back of his head, "Senpai, I'm not trying to insult you but against 7 other members of Akatsuki you're at an extreme disadvantage." "What am I supposed to do, hm? Leave him there and have Pein take him away from me, hm?" The smaller boy growled, getting offended.
Tobi sighed, "Deidara... I'll try everything I can to save Sasori for you. Nobody knows I'm helping you so it will be a lot easier for me than for you to go in there blowing things up." Deidara turned away stubbornly, knowing the other boy did have a good point. "Okay, I just want my Danna to be safe. And if he's hurt I want to help him as soon as possible, hm." Tobi just giggled, "He's safe, Akatsuki doesn't -want- to kill him, but none the less I'll try my best. It's probably better for you to stay in here. You should sleep, Senpai, it's late."
The other boy nodded, curling up in Hiruko's cloak and laying down. "Tobi." Deidara announced, his face against the stone pillar. Tobi felt bad the poor boy didn't have a pillow. "Why are you going so far to help me? It doesn't make any sense to me, hm. I'm your friend?" He questioned. Turning away, with his back now to Deidara, the masked nin looked off into the distance, "Isn't that a good enough reason in itself? You're my friend and I'm not going to abandon you." Deidara's eyes started watering. "Thank you, Tobi." After his friend disappeared, the blonde silently wondered how long he'd be stuck here for. If Tobi would even come back? He said he wouldn't abandon him though, so Deidara just had to trust.
Once Tobi made it back to the Akatsuki base, he noticed Hidan and Kakazu bickering about not finding Deidara. It was quite amusing. "How the fuck do you lose a pregnant man?" Hidan growled, "I don't know maybe if you spent more time searching instead of flapping your gums, we'd have found him." Kakazu countered. The masked nin just walked by the two of them, heading down to the basement to see how Sasori was. The puppet nin was still unconscious on the floor. Was he even still alive? It wasn't like he had a pulse or anything. Tobi looked through the bars sadly, wondering why everyone couldn't just get along. So what if senpai was pregnant? Why was it a big deal?
Hearing footsteps approaching, Tobi turned to see Konan entering the room. "Is Sasori senpai going to be okay?" The masked nin asked with worry, twiddling his thumb together. "He should be fine, Tobi." The bluenette said quietly. She hadn't wanted to do this, but how could she go against Pein sama's orders? Her only reason for living was this organization, to bring peace to the nations and if this was just one of the sacrifices to get there then... "Why Konan senpai? Deidara is my best friend... I don't want to see this happen..." Tobi begged, furthering Konan's guilt. "Why do you have to kill senpai? It's just a baby. A helpless baby. I don't see how it's conflicting with the organization. You cared about the baby, I know you did. You told me to stop stressing out senpai so it would be okay."
The female Akatsuki bit her lip, "I know, Tobi." "Stop saying you can't do anything, you're the only one who can speak up to Pein and you know it." Tobi argued. He knew she was thier only chance. Konan sighed, thinking it through, "I'll bring it up to him but there's no guarantees I can change his mind. Why don't you go make sure Deidara is okay?" "Already one step ahead of you!" Tobi beamed, "I've hidden my senpai somewhere safe and nobody will ever guess where!" He said in a sing song voice, swaying as he spoke. Apparently he must not have trusted her enough to say, not really that she blamed him at this point. Konan smiled lightly, "Well he's lucky to have you looking after him. You should let Sasori know he's okay once he comes to, I'll talk to Pein now." "Okie dokie artichoke!" Tobi exclaimed, putting his hand up to his forehead like a soldier.
The young nin waited what felt like hours for the puppet to come to. He thought Sasori senpai hated making people wait? Though, Tobi knew it wasn't his fault. The red head moved with great difficulty, probably because of the chakra barrier. He lifted his head to see who was there, no form of expression on his face when he saw Tobi. "Sasori senpai!" The masked nin exclaimed, "I kept Deidara senpai safe for you!" Sasori's eyebrows furrowed. Was he serious or just mocking him? It was hard to tell. "Let me go and take me to him." The puppet ordered. Tobi was about to react when Konan returned. She gave Sasori a quick glance before turning back to Tobi, "There was no use, he's really set on this." Konan admitted sadly. "I guess the only thing to do now is..." Tobi began before she cut him off. "I'm going to do a strike against Akatsuki." She announced, causing both boys eyes to widen in shock. Akatsuki's angel was striking against the organization?!
"I'll take care of Deidara and Sasori, and Tobi you can come too if you want." Konan decided, making Sasori scoff. "You're not much older than me, don't go acting like my parent now. But I'll do anything to make sure Deidara is safe." Tobi just shivered. "But wouldn't all the other senpai's be mad at us?" Konan turned towards him, "No, nobody else in the organization really cares unless Pein tells them they should care. They don't care about orders or death, they just kill and do what they're told. They may come after us, so you have to be ready, Tobi." He nodded seriously, trying to be cool. "I'll do it!"
"I'm not going without my puppets, I wont be very effective without them." Sasori added in and Konan nodded, "Okay, I'll find where they confiscated the puppets. Tobi, you get Sasori out of here. You guys start walking and I'll meet you." With that, the bluenette undid the Chakra seal and made her leave. The coil came out from Sasori's stomach and undid the lock, the eager red head letting himself out and demanding to see Deidara again. "We'll get out of here and then I'll take you to senpai, okay?" Tobi offered, waving his hands. How did Deidara deal with his impatience?
It wasn't difficult to sneak by Kakazu and Hidan, they were unsurprisingly still bickering about whose fault it was that they didn't find Deidara earlier. After making it outside, the two ninjas quickly made their way into the forest, abandoning their hide out for god knows how long. It was a strange pair to be working together, and the more they went on the more Sasori was getting impatient to see his fiancé. "I'll get Deidara for you now, I just didn't want to when we were so close to the base." Tobi said, making Sasori wonder what he meant. "Be right back!" Tobi cooed, waving his hand as he disappeared into oblivion. The red head blinked in shock, wondering if he was still under Itachi's spell before the masked nin appeared again with a sleeping Deidara in his arms.
Sasori scooped him up and laid him on the ground, kneeling down beside him. He stared at his partner in awe, in doubt he'd ever see him again and here he was. The puppet poked the boys face repeatedly, annoying the blonde as he stirred in his sleep. Sasori poked him more, impatient when he wasn't waking up. "Maybe you should just let him sleep?" Tobi chuckled but the red head refused to back down. He shook Deidara harder and the blonde weakly opened his eyes. In a daze at first, he stared unstartled by the red head's presence before he threw his arms around him excitedly. "Sasori no Danna! Are you okay?!" Deidara gasped, "I heard what they did to you and I... I want to help as best I can, hm!"
Sasori smiled lightly from over his shoulder, "Don't worry so much. I've lost things before, dear things but you're my second chance and no illusion could ever take you away from me. So, I'm okay as long as you're here." The red head backed away so he could lean in and kiss Deidara's lips. Tobi just turned away from the romantic love scene unfolding before him. "You guys should get a room." The masked nin chuckled, hoping if he reminded them of his presence they'd stop kissing! The two pulled away from each other then. "Oh, sorry for that. I was just excited to see him again." Sasori admitted, getting up off the ground and then helping the blonde up.
Once Konan senpai finally joined them, Tobi ran over and hid behind her. "Save me from the love birds, Konan senpai!" The boy shrieked and the bluenette just laughed, passing Deidara his clay pouch and Sasori his puppet scrolls. Her expression turned more serious, "I'm glad you're okay Deidara and I'm sorry for what Pein made you go through. How is your baby doing?" "Both of my babies are okay!" Deidara said enthusiastically, wrapping his arms around the red head and holding him close. "Both?" Konan asked in confusion and the blonde just nodded. "Yes! Sasori no Danna is my baby too!" Sasori frowned at the accusation, pushing off the loving blonde. "I'm 34 years old, I'm far from a baby..." "You're so small and cute though! I just want to take care of you, hmm!~" Deidara cooed, kissing his cheek lovingly. "Take care of yourself first." The red head said bitterly, making the girl giggle. "Well, I'm glad at least one of us is in a good mood. Let's go, we need to find shelter for the night."
Konan hoped this didn't have to go on for long. While Pein was missing 4 Akatsuki members now, one of them being his angel, hopefully it would sink in what he was doing was wrong. The organization sought for peace, how could they kill Deidara and his child? All Sasori and Deidara had was each other, they had already been through pain once before. What would causing more pain even solve?
To be continued...
(AN: Had a bit of writers block so sorry this took so long! ;w; If anyone even cares haha~ My poor babies, I was thinking of doing a sad ending for this one but I couldn't bear it so Sasori and Deidara had to reunite again. XD Thanks for reading and please review to let me know what you thought!)
