~Zori's prov~

When I woke up, I nearly screamed. Apart from me, Deidara's bed was completely empty. And I actually did scream when I found Tobi's bed empty. I searched all over until I found a scroll. I opened it and read it.


Zori,
The Akatsuki has split up into pairs and has spread through out the nations. You must find Deidara, Sasori, and the Kyuubi in the Land of Metal. Dispite Deidara's condition, his was willing. You weren't taking along becaause Wethought you may have needed to grab some supplies. Your mission there is train untill your surpiros fel like you are strong enough, and collect scrolls with jutsus. Remember that when you find them, Deidara may still be ill. Prepare to heal him. Thats all for now.
Leader.


I clenched my fists. I grabbed a few scrolls, got the supplies I do need, and got on my cloak. Then I made the Ram hand sign. If Leader was gonna leave me ALL alone in the hideout, the least I could do as payback was...redectrate. My eyes started to glow, my hair started to slowly raise up, and lighting could be heard outside. Then in a gaint bolt of lightning I dissapered.

~~~~~~~~~~~With Deidara, Sasori, and Naruto: In the Land of Metal~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Naruto's prov~

Blondie looks like he isn't doing so well. Every step he takes looks forced. But his face hid it, that stupid smirk was like super glued to his face! the only time he would not smirk is when he would cough or sneeze. I actually kinda feel bad for the guy, but not much.

"I sense some strong chakra headed this way, prepare for it Deidara." Sasori used his giant metal tail like thing to grab me, and a hold me.

"EY'!? WHAT DA HE-ARGH" He made the grip tighter.

"Keep quiet, no one gave you permission to talk." His voice was cold, and stone hard.

"Sasori no danna, ease up on our..."guest" a little, un." Deidara's smirk grew bigger. "We do still need him alive, for the sealing, un."

"Deidara, I did not ask for your commentary on my actions, so shut up, or I'll kill you." said with his still cold tone.

Deidara chuckled. "Whatever Sasori, least I won't get in trouble with P-Pein..." I watched him closely as his face started to scrunch up. "Hih...hih-hih..." he sighed as he un-scrunched his face.

"Brat, you are to pathetic, you almost make me feel pity for you." Sasori made fun of Deidara.

Deidara glared at Sasori. "Shut up Sasori, I am anything but pathetic." he shot back. "You are the pathetic one, not being able to bare the pain of your past, so you turn yourself into "art", but you have failed at your own prospective! So don't go around being hypocritical, un! You ignorant dick, un!" He stuck his hand in a side pouch.

Sasori growled. "Deidara, cut the babbling crap you keep going on about, I'm not in the mood."

Out of no where a blue stream of what looked like lightning shot out of the sky. Deidara and Sasori both leaped back, as the ground started to break, and crack for a few kilometers, from the pure force of the lightning beam.

"Nice you could make it, just try to not break the earth's crust as you land, next time, un" Deidara yelled to the figure in the smoke of the spot where the beam hit. He landed down on the ground, well a piece that wasn't fully broken.

"All we need is for you to draw attention to us." Sasori also said to the figure.

"I'll try, Deidara no danna. And Sasori, its only natural I have a flashy entry, I can't help it." It was a familiar female voice. When she walked out of the smoke, I saw it was that chick, Zori. She jumped straight over to Deidara. "How ya holding up? Need anything?"

"Maybe a aspirin for the headache, but other than that I fine, un." He smiled a little.

"And some tissues, he has been a snot bucket the WHOLE way here'ttebayo. I swear it might come out his eyes soon." I yelled to her.

She laughed at the look on his face. "Lucky I brought both, I'll give them to you when we find a place to rest. Ok?"

He still made that face but nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~In a village in the Land of Metal~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Deidara's prov~

Stupid tickle. It won't stop, but its not strong enough to make me sneeze. There's also a tickle in my throat waiting for the right moment for me to have coughing fit, and my headache is turning back into a migrane. But I just need to keep up my act just a little bit longer. "Have you dicide on where we get to rest yet, Sasori no danna, un? "I don't like to wait, or keep other people waiting." Well guess what, I'm waiting, so hurry it up, un."

Zori giggled. "Deidara no danna, you wouldn't want me to talk to you that way, what makes you think Sasori no danna would want you to?" She walked up next to me.

"Well you see Zori, Sasori is a dick who has no taste in fine art and he deserves it-"

"Brat, we could sleep outside if you don't keep your trap shut." Sasori growled at me.

I responded back with a smirk.

Zori stood up for me. "Yeah, no way that is gonna happen Sasori, especially since Deidara is ill. If his state were to get any worse, his life could be put in danger, and we are not taking any chances."

Sasori grunted and kept "walking".

I smirked more.

~~~~~~~~~~~In a Hotel lobby a little bit later~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. that's all I can think about. Sleep.

Sasori was getting us the room, it was very funny for him trying to talk to someone when he can't even see the countertop in that fugly puppet of his.

Zori was standing next to me keeping an eye on the little blonde dipshit.

And the little blonde dipshit was sitting on the floor looking bored out of his mind.

Suddenly, that tickle in my nose that had been bugging me got very strong, like so strong, I didn't even have build up, just one strong "HIHESSHH!" I snapped forward, and nearly doubled over. It was so loud it echoed throught the room. I sniffled a little. "Zorib? could Ib havebd dat twissueg, ung? Or twob, ung?"

She laughed, but it sounded shaky, like she had jumped from my scream-I mean sneeze. "Sure~" she pulled a little package of tissues out of her pocket. "Here ya go~" She handed them to me.

"Thangs, ung." I blew my nose into a few I plucked out.

The blonde baka sat there scared as shit. "Dude...what the hell was that?"

I ignored him and stood up straight, but couldn't help but leaned on Zori just a little.

She smiled sweetly at me. "You cloud have told me you felt tired. I could have done something to help you, ya know."

Sasori moved over to us. "Its just down the hall, room 64."

~~~~~~~~~~~In the Hotel room: 64~~~~~~~~~~~~

The second we got into the room, I saw only tree beds. one for Sasori, because he'd NEVER share, on for the 9 tails, because neither Zori or I will go NEAR the same bed as him, and Zori's and I's bed. I'm ok with sharing with her, I just don't want her to get sick, but I guess we have no choice. I walked over to the bathroom, and get into comfortable clothes. i walked back out and walke over the first bed I saw, lifted up the blanket, laid down and crueld up under it. I closed my eyes, and relaxed. Then I felt the bed move a little.

Zori was sitting next to me watching me rest. "I don't want to bug you, but do you want that aspirin?"

I had to take a moment to think about what she said. "Yes please, un." I sat up slowly.

She pulled out a little pills case and set it on the table next to me. "Let me get you a water for them." she got up and walked to the bathroom got a cup of water, and came back. She the handed to little pills and the glass of water.

I popped the pills in my mouth and took a sip of water, swallowed them both down. I went back to bing curled up under the blanket. Then a few mintuets later I fell asleep.

~Hours later~

I woke up, and groaned as loud as I could, because of my stomachache. I rolled over and held my stomach and groaned more.
A hand was placed on my forehead.

My stomach stopped hurting, I opened and saw it was Zori's hand. I smiled when I realized she was laying next to me. I moved closer to her closed my eyes and fell back asleep.

~Zori's prov~

He falls asleep so fast when he is not feeling well, its kinda cute. The smile on his face while he sleeps is cute to. even though he could be dreaming about the most vile things, its still cute.

Sasori walked over. "now would be the time he would need to take this medicine." he handed me a vile of purple liquid.

I gave him a worried look. "you know, this looks a lot like your poison."

"Hmm, it dose..." he made a face in thought.

I gave him another look. I moved deidara's head do he wouldn't choke on it, but just as I was about to pour it down his mouth Sasori stopped me.

"Wait, that is my poison, don't!" He used his chakra strings to keep me from accendently pouring even a little drop. He handed me a vile with green liquid.

"Why should I trust you now!?" I whisper yelled at him.

"Because I'd would have Pein on my ass if I killed Deidara, thats why." He crossed his arms, giving me the most stoic face ever.

I sighed and gently poured it down his throat and helped him swallow it.

The taste made him frown in his sleep.

I gently stroked his hair, and giggled softly as he started to smile.

"So you do like him." Sasori ruined the moment.

"Wow, good job Sherlock. It most certainly took you long enough to notice." I gave him a bland look.

"He is starting to develop feelings back. The only thing he would talk about most of the way here was you." his face was still emotionless as he spoke.

I couldn't believe him, I didn't want to believe him, Deidara, having feelings for ME?! Never. "What do YOU know about "feelings", you don't have any, so you can't go around talking about them, like you experience them all the time." I shot back. Its just to un-believable.

He shurgged. "You're right, I just thought you should know." and with that he walked away.

As much as I wanted to believe him, I couldn't. I didn't want to set myself up for a tragic heart break. I closed my eyes and decide to forget the whole thing and fall asleep. But it was hard with all these thoughts running through my head.

Deidara moved closer to me looking even more comfortable.

He sleeping form was soothing to the point that I fell asleep myself, despite my stress.
