Deidara stood outside, wondering what to do next. He wasn't running away from Akatsuki... just laying low until anger had settled with Pein and Kakuzu about the living room. They'd probably send someone after him in search thinking he'd run, to which he would tell the search party the truth.

The blond began walking down the path away from the base. He imagined one of his fellow criminals to come chasing after him. He was glad he had remembered to bring his clay. As he continued to walk, his mind wondered. Deidara thought about everything that had happened to him the past day and how his life had changed so quickly.

It was because of Hidan, wasn't it?

Hidan was almost to the hide out, just a block or so more. He planned to leave Deidara alone for a few days.

Deidara spotted the silver hair up the path. He waved, hoping to catch Hidan's attention and called, "Hey Hidan!"

Hidan looked up, 'oh fuck!!!'

The blond ran over the the Jashinist. "Hidan! You have to be careful!! Tobi has this whole plan to get you killed or something because I refused to go out with on a date, un..."

Hidan looked at him with a wtf look. "Like I believe that."

Deidara face became more dark. He looked at Hidan in a depressed way and shoved his hands into his jacket pockets. "You think I'm a lier?" The blond said without his usual peppy innocence.

"Maybe you haven't been the most faithful lately."

Deidara looked at the ground, biting the inside of his cheeks.

"I know, un. I'm trying to be..." The blond paused, staring up at a bird in the treetops. "It's just... Tobi has an odd way of making me do things I honestly don't want to do. I hate that swirly masked Bastard. But for some reason I can't explain, whenever I get near him, he finds ways to twist my words or leave me in a situation I have no control over."

Hidan stared at him, then started to walk around him.

"Your going back to the base then, un? Can you tell Pein for me; I'm not running away, I'm only staying away until Kakuzu isn't so angry. He should know what you mean if he has seen the living room." Deidara said, watching the silver hair walk away. It left him felling somewhat empty.

"Fine." He said cruelly.

Deidara kept his eyes on the dirt path below him. "Please stop being mad. Your taking this too far, un. I'm already guilty and I'm trying my best to make you forgive me. I can't go back to change what I've done."

Hidan shrugged, "Thats fucking right."

The blond looked up at the silver hair. "Well if it is alright, then why do you still have a problem with it?!"

"Because it hurts..." He whispered and walked off.

Deidara was left, standing in the middle of the road with his mouth open. He shut it and opened it again as to speak, but it seemed there where no words that would make things right again. He watched in silence as Hidan walked off into the distance and completely disappeared from his view.

He had to make things right again. The blond decided he would work as hard and a long as it took to make Hidan forget his pain.

Hidan was close to the hideout, unfortunately he dint notice the little CLAY butterfly flowing him.

Deidara had began walking towards the nearest village. He walked slow, having this horrible feeling that something was wrong. He didn't know what, but he knew that something terrible was about to happen.

"What the fuck!??!?!" Hidan screamed as a little squirrel near his foot blew up.

Deidara had heard and recognized the sound of the explosion immediately. He ran with towards the sound, jumping against tree to tree like a ping-pong ball and landing on a stable tree branch. He moved quickly through the tree tops, like most ninja were trained, towards the spot.

Hidan was being bombarded from all sides by bombs. His body was taking every blow.

Deidara soon happened upon the spot Hidan's attacker stood.

"You're-?"

"Yes... sweet little cousin."

"What are you doing here, you copy cat!? I told you I never wanted to see the face of someone like you... taking the credit of artists and calling it your own, un! Your nothing more then a art thief piece of shit!!!"

Deidara's cousin was similar in appearance. He had long blonde hair, loosely worn and flowing down his back. He was currently dressed in army patterned green cargo pants, a black sleeves top, and black leather boots. His eyes narrowed like a cats, similar to Deidara's own, but his pupils shown light green instead of blue.

"Aww... is that any way to treat family?" The boy named Sora asked in mocking tone.

Deidara cursed, jumping down from the tree tops to land near his cousin. The blond growled through clenched teeth, each word filled with hatred, "You. Aren't. Family. To. Me."

"Awww... don't you miss me?"

Deidara gave a tisk. Getting angry would only feed his cousins amusement.

"Listen Sora, I know you used explosives... you are going to tell me what you used them for. There is a reason you're here and I wanna know exactly why, un."

"Just finishing a job cousin. Got hired to knock someone off it, has nothing to do with you." Sora said, sending another wave of birds through the trees to his opponent.

Deidara threw his own set of explosive booms, bigger then Sora's. They collided and exploded, catching fire to a tree.

"I don't think so..." The blue eyes said. "This is my territory and you're on it. Any missions here you can just give up, turn around, and go home with you're tail between you're legs. Who the hell would hire you anyway?! I'm notoriously known everywhere for being the best master of explosives, un!"

"Well there's a problem, cause the guy I'm fighting isn't supposed to see me."

"What kind of mission is that?! If you're just going to kill him, then why does it matter?"

"It's orders course. Apparently this guy has connections... in other words, he dies and people will come after me."

Deidara rubbed his temples in a tired sigh. "If anyone exams the body, it is my head, not yours. Killing him shouldn't be the problem... it is the way you do it, un. Once they find the body, they will know explosives were used. The first person who comes to mind would be me, therefore I'd take the blame. So... I'll help you kill him, then rid the body for you so I don't end up starting a war between organizations."

"Fine, but remember your better off dead if he sees you."

"Right. You act as if I can't do stealth missions, un. Lead the way."

"Okay. Well he's 30 meters that way." Sora said, pointing in front of him.

Deidara nodded. He jumped to the branch in front of him and continued onward until he reached an estimated 28 meters. He hide beneath a bush and peered underneath to see whoever it was Sora was targeting.

"Hidan?!" The blond called. He felt sick to his stomach as he saw the half crispy man standing in the clearing. Deidara jumped from his hiding place to the silver hair.

Hidan turned, "What Deidara !?!?!? You wanted to be with Tobi so bad that you had to kill me huh you fucker!!!!"

The blond stared at the Jashinst in shock. Suddenly, the pieces clicked together and Deidara gave a face palm, laughing like a mad man.

"Today is just not my lucky day, is it, un?" Once he'd finished his laughing about his own misery.

"Sora, get your ass out here!!!" The blond called was seemed randomly behind him. "Don't worry about the old guy, I have a job for you, un!"

Sora came out of the trees, "Yo, whats up?"

Hidan stared at Deidara then back at Sora then back at Deidara. "What the fuck?!"

Deidara rubbed his temples, trying to figure how to word things.

"Let me explain from the begging, un. Sora, this man is my boyfriend. To keep things short, another one of my coworkers became very jealous. He sent you, Sora, to injury Hidan to a brutal point because he is immortal. Your new mission is to explain who hired you and the details of that mission... if it's who I think it is, then I need to find a way to put a stop to his string pulling, un."

"What are you going to do for me?" Sora said, leering at Hidan's naked torso.

"Eh... I hoped you wouldn't ask. I'll pay you double whatever your last boss was. Hidan, to explain things to you, Sora here is my cousin, un. I think Tobi hired him to injure you because I refused to date Tobi..." The blond answered. Yes, he was completely out of money and this would most certainly put him in debt, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

"I don't want money." Sora said.

"Then what do you want, un?" The Deidara asked in surprise.

Sora leered at Hidan licking his lips, "You know what I want."

Deidara stomped towards Sora, pushing him away from Hidan. "He's mine." The sculpture growled.

Sora grinned, "I don't care you now I always get what I want in the end."

Deidara glared at his cousin, "Are you going to give the information or not? Because I have ways of getting information out of you that doesn't involve you getting anything but a torture session."

Sora grinned. "You know what I want... let me have only one night and I'll tell you everything." Sora said licking his lips.

Deidara eye twitched. "Well Hidan, you're awful quite on the subject. Go ahead and tell my cousin he can't have you, un."

Hidan shrugged, "I don't fucking care anymore."

The sculpture turned his attention to the silver hair.

"How can you say that, un? You're still pissed about what happened with Tobi, aren't you? Well stop acting like such an ass-wipe baby and pull yourself together. It really pisses me off you still haven't forgiven me. What matters now isn't what happened, but how to get revenge on the retard bastard, un. Are you with me in this?"

"I really don't fucking care. I'm sick of you cheating on me, maybe it's time I got my dues."

"It was only once..." Deidara muttered. He looked at the ground, his stomach sick at the thought of his boyfriend cheating on him or even thinking about the idea of cheating on him.

Hidan looked at Sora. "It doesn't matter to me if i sleep with him to get the fucking info. I mean he looks almost exactly like you."

Deidara looked upon the face of Hidan with sad eyes. "But he isn't me, un. Fine... go ahead. Do whatever you want with him... it's only fair."

Hidan looked at Deidara and sighed walked up to him and said, "I'm fucking doing this so I have a reason to kill Tobi. I mean we have to bring him with us and its the only way he'll come quietly but if i had a choice I would kill him right here and now." Hidan kissed Deidara with all of his passion.

"Do whatever you want, un." Deidara growled in anger. He was unsure of when his temper had risen, but it was probably the point he felt he had submitted to drastic measures to sustain a relationship.
