Chapter 9! who knew we'd ever get this far... It's almost been a year since i've been writing this. so hard to believe.. oh.. maybe two years, but eh... oh well. we're getting there. It's summer now. I'll write much more often!

Dei: You better. I'd rather it not take two years for me to get laid.

Me: *sprays with water bottle* Be patient you ungrateful jerk face!

Dei: Sits in the corner.

Saso: I have a bad feeling about this...

Me: As well you should. On with the story.

Sasori's p.o.v.

"Oh no... Fuck... Fuck Fuck Fuck. That snake better not touch him.." I said between my teeth.

"Who in the name of Jashin is this snake guy anyway?" Hidan asked clueless.

Rolling my eyes, I started to explain. "His name is Orochimaru. He is one of the creepiest guys here. Well, he was until he escaped. Now, he has vowed to come back for the first new student after his disappearance... That means he wants Dei... He could have been watching us this whole time which means..." My eyes widened and I trailed off, then I ran full speed back to Deidara's room.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a hiss. Orochimaru was sitting on Deidara's waist, and blood was dripping from his mouth, blood was also dripping from Dei's neck. Before I could do anything, Orochimaru cut a slash in his wrist, then pushed the cut to Deidara's lips. The snake man looked at me and smirked. I smirked back. "Shall I tell Itachi you're here? You already have Sasuke. Why do you need MY blonde?" I asked with a hint of a threat in my voice.

When he didn't move, I walked over and grabbed him by his long black hair, and flung him against the wall. "Hidan! Call Tsunade! ASAP!" I yelled as I looked at Deidara, who was looking quite pale.

His eyes were slits, half open but closed slightly. I could already see the change happening in him. Checking my watch, I saw that I had no choice. Leaning over him, I went to the bite mark on his neck and started sucking on it, when my mouth was full of his blood and the venom, I would spit it out, I didn't want to get poisoned. Through all of this, Deidara started to moan. He gripped my back hard and arched himself closer to me. I couldn't help but smile slightly, it was nice to know that my blonde likes to kink.

I kept this going until I couldn't taste anymore poison, then I stopped. He was pale. We needed Tsunade immediately.

I heard the door blast off its hinges, and Orochimaru was unconscious in the corner. He deserved it. He was lucky I didn't turn him into a puppet... Though I wouldn't want someone so obsolete in my collection...

Tsunade ran into the room.

Tsunade's p.o.v.

I got the call from Hidan that I needed to come to their room immediately, immediately, I was worried. Before I ran from the room, I called Jiraiya over his walkie-talkie. "Get to Sasori's room immediately. Hurry!" I commanded as I ranup the stairs and to their room. Like an idiot, I forgot the door keys, so I kicked the door down and ran all the way back the hallway to the room where all the action was at.

When I ran in, I had noticed the snakes on the coffee table, and knew what that meant. Orochimaru.

When I ran into the room, i stopped my momentum forward and took in the sight. Orochimaru was unconscious in the corner with blood dripping from the side of his face. With that noted, I turned to the bed where Deidara was lying, he looked rather lifeless. I also noticed Sasori, with blood dripping from his lips. Maybe he found out in time to stop the transformation...

Without looking at me, he said, "He's lost a lot of blood. There was also a lot of the venom in his blood... I sucked it out, but he won't last if he doesn't get any blood in him soon.. When I got here, his eyes were already slits..."

Walking over, I laid a hand on his shoulder and moved him aside gently. I formed a hand sign and moved my hands slowly all over his body, fixing as much damage as I could. I felt something abnormal when I passed over his heart with my chakra. I gasped.

Deidara's p.o.v.

I could hardly see. Everything was out of focus, I was dizzy. That snake guy had bitten me... Now I was floating in black space. Honestly, I couldn't see, but I felt everything that was happening to my body, and after the weight of snake guy was removed from my hips, I felt the weight of someone else... Sasori. His lips found their way to the wound on my neck, and he sucked hard. At first, I just arched my back from the sensation. But soon, everything became more clear as it went on. Now I felt his lips more clearly, and I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer. The sensations running through my body were undescribable.. It was like fire and ice. I was hot and cold all at the same moment.

Soon, my vision started going fuzzy again, and I tried to speak Sasori's name, but it came out as a moan. He said some words to someone else, and then he got off of me. I couldn't really understand... All of a sudden, I saw a tunnel, it was bright white, and I went towards it.

Sasori's p.o.v.

"SHIT!" Tsunade yelled, sounding frantic. My eyes widened.

"He's going to die... isn't he..?" I asked, quietly, scared of the answer.

"Shut up!" She yelled and put both hands over his heart, focussing all of her energy there. Tears were pricking at the corners of my eyes until I heard him take in a sharp intake of breath, and I heard Tsunade sigh in relief. He was still pale, but not as much as he was before.

Completely out of character, I ran over to him and hugged him tightly, and he gasped. "Mm... not... not so hard... Sasori.." He said sounding weak.

"Don't speak." Tsunade told him. "You need rest. No class for you or Sasori tomorrow. He'll be watching you."

He looked as if he was about to speak, but he just nodded his head. I kissed his forehead and he slipped into slumber.

Simultaneously, Tsunade and I turned to face the semi-conscious Orochimaru in the corner. My anger boiled, and I guess she sensed it, because she laid a soothing hand on my shoulder then went and picked his body up out of the corner, and walked out.

Honestly, I was exhausted too, so I fell into bed next to Deidara and held him close as I breathed in his scent.

Hidan's p.o.v.

A while after Tsunade left, I decided to go and see how things were going, and what I saw was Deidara asleep in Sasori's arms. I smiled sadly and realized that Dei would always belong to Sasori. I blessed them under Jashin, then turned and left to my own room, where I fell asleep, not thinking of Deidara, but someone else entirely... Kakuzu.

DONE WITH THIS CHAPTER! I think there'll be two or three more chapters... I'll put the lemon in the next one while they're alone ;) and there may be more, because i might describe how the other akatsuki couples got together. *nudge nudge, wink wink* You guys didn't think I'd let Deidara die, did you? :3 Well, until next time!
