Chapter 9: The Headquarters

Sasori pulled out the copy of Deidara's journal he had found a few months ago. He still had two hours before the army showed. He was about to continue where he left off when a thought came into his head. What had Deidara last written in this? He open the book to the last page and found the last entry.

3/7/10

What is this feeling? This strange, actual FEELING that I get every time I'm around him? I just don't understand it. When he placed his lips on mine…it was like my heart was beating for the first time. What does it mean? And…why does he wanna help me? Hmm…looking at this date…I'm officially 17 today. I looked up some info on Sasori…he's 19…not that much older than myself. He's considered a genius for helping the cops solve the Black Blood case…a genius…heh, a genius that can't measure up to the expectations. He was almost sucked into Raito's plans!...but…no one else would know Raito's true nature…Not at first glance…after all… I am his son, I know how evil he really is…I actually feel relieved that Sasori actually believed me. I don't want anything to happen to him…strange, yes, but…If he can actually make me feel, I don't want to lose him…I don't want to be an empty shell anymore…

Sasori closed the journal with a smile. So Deidara DID feel things around him…Determination filled the redhead's eyes as he thought of what had happened. He looked at the clock and got to his feet. Almost time…

~An hour later~

Sasori stood before the leaders of the creatures. Itachi, head of the largest coven of vampires in the Underworld. Kakuzu, head of the demons. His own cousin, Gaara, who was head of the lycans. And his grandmother. Head of the Warlocks and witches.

Half of the leaders didn't seem very amused.

Itachi sighed, "Where is the Arms Dealer? We are here to meet with him." Sasori looked the vampire in the eye, as was custom to do so, "Change of plans, the Blood Circle have the Arms Dealer captured. I will be taking his place until I free him." Kakuzu's eyes glowed brightly, "You? And just who the hell ARE you?" Sasori didn't falter, "My name is Akasuna no Sasori. I am half vampire, half warlock. Grandson of the Crimson Witch Chiyo. And ex-member of the IFBI. I know most of the building that we are headed to like the back of my hand."

Itachi's eyes narrowed, "If you are a former member of Raito's IFBI, why should we trust you?" Sasori's eyes dilated and the screens of Deidara's magical computer appeared behind them, "You don't have to. But either way, I'm your only way into the IFBI Headquarters. Raito has put up a barrier system and I am the only one that has knowledge of how to hack into the system."

Itachi and Kakuzu exchanged glances before nodding. "Very well then. What's the plan." The raven said…

~At the IFBI Headquarters~

Kisame sighed. Knowing that Sasori had been a traitor was depressing. As was the fact that Raito had the Arms Dealer under his control. Kisame didn't like the way he was doing it. No one deserved to go without emotion. He looked out of his office window and saw a flash of movement. What was that? Before he could move, his eyes met sharingan….

"That was close." Muttered Gaara. Sasori sat in a tree with his laptop. "Nice job Itachi. Are all of your soldiers ready?" he asked. Itachi nodded. Kakuzu scoffed, "Blood thirsty really." He stated. Gaara nodded as well as he looked up at the moon. "Yes." Stated Chiyo. Sasori typed in a few more codes to deactivate the barrier and closed the computer. "In three…two…one." The barrier vanished and the redheaded vampire leaped into the building.

The plan was simple, Lucifer met up with Sasori inside, Hidan following. As the others handled the agents in the building, the three of them would find Deidara. "Fire style: Fireball Jutsu."

Sasori ducked down a hall as Itachi and some vampires attacked some of Raito's men head on. Sasori saw the elevator. "Come on." He said…

"Top floor?" asked Hidan, "Why the fuck would anyone wanna be on the top floor?" Sasori shrugged, "It seems to be an evil villain thing. Happens in video games too." Hidan laughed, "Never thought of it that way." Sasori glanced at Lucifer. The fallen angel stood quiet as he waited for them to reach the top floor. "You'd better be able to get him back Sasori. If not, it'll be your head." He muttered. Sasori nodded, having guessed that already. Lucifer really acted like Deidara's father.

The elevator stopped abruptly.

The lights flickered off.

Sasori sighed, "Come on. This won't stop s." He said as he used chakra strings to open the escape hatch and pull himself up out of the elevator. As he stood, he met eyes with Pein. "Hello Akasuna." He said. Sasori remained quiet. Pein lunged at him, shimmering blade in hand. (Holy water.) Realized Sasori as he dodged the blade. Hidan jumped out of the cart and pulled out his scythe. "Sasori, Lucifer! You go on ahead! I got this fight!" he yelled as he swung the scythe at Pein. Pein blocked it and kicked the Reaper in the jaw. Hidan smirked and the scythe started to glow. Sasori stood for a moment, before Lucifer spread his wings and took flight. "Hidan is not someone you should worry about Sasori, Keep going!"

Sasori spared one final glance at Hidan before his own blood red wings appeared and he leaped into the air. He heard the snap of a cable and saw the elevator begin to fall. Hidan started to laugh maniacally as he continued to battle Pein. Sasori sighed and soared higher.

He caught up to Lucifer and his eyes dilated. The door to the top floor blew open and they flew through it. Sasori saw the same hall as before. There was a crash and Sasori glanced at the elevator shaft. "Do not worry about him. It takes a lot to be rid of the Grim Reaper." Said Lucifer as he walked down the hall. Sasori nodded and walked after him.

They reached the grey double doors and Sasori pushed them open.

"Hello Sasori."

Sasori saw Orochimaru standing in the middle of the room. The redhead continued to glance around until his eyes fell on the desk in the back. Raito sat calmly, a smirk planted firmly on his face. "Welcome Lord Lucifer. It's an honor to have you in my office. Please," he snapped his fingers and a barrier surrounded the two, "make yourselves comfortable."

Sasori scowled at him, ""Raito. Where's Deidara!" he growled, fangs elongating. Orochimaru chuckled as Raito's smirk widened, "Why, right behind you Sasori." Sasori turned and was hit by blue flames. He grunted in pain as he hit the barrier. Lucifer took a step back, torn at his duty as ruler of the underworld and his protective mannerisms towards the only son he's ever had.

Deidara's eyes were blank, void of any emotion. The Azure Eagle was perched on his shoulder. Sasori got to his feet and frowned. So that was their game. Sasori looked at the barrier and realized that it was a spell from the book of the Hawk. Sasori closed his eyes and saw pages of the Book of the Scorpion. He opened his brown eyes and they dilated, red lightning sparking from his fingers. He placed a hand on the barrier and it shattered. "Lucifer, you handle them. I'll handle Deidara." He said. Lucifer nodded and turned to Raito.

Sasori pulled out a scroll. "It's fitting, that two rival artists should face each other. I just wish it was under better circumstances." He said as he summoned his Sandaime Kazekage puppet…
