... You all are gonna hate me for this chapter. XD But it had to be done! Oh! I told some people that this might end in two or three chapters ... well, I lied. Because of this chapter, it's going to be longer. There's a lot that needs to happen because of this chapter. Besides, I haven't dealt with Sasuke yet either so I CAN'T end it. XD People would hate me and I don't want that.

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN NARUTO!

LOL READ ON!

Deidara moved to stand before Sasori, who couldn't move. An incredible fear had gripped him. This situation was not looking good. The redhead unintentionally reached forward and gripped Deidara's hand. The blond werewolf squeezed his hand but didn't take his eyes off of their opponent.

Sasuke was still standing there, gazing at them almost confusedly as if he didn't understand why they weren't afraid despite the situation. But then he grinned a bit, clearly coming to a conclusion.

Deidara growled, obviously not liking that look, and changed his stance slightly so that it was defensive. Deidara hoped Sasori couldn't sense the hesitation he wasn't showing. The blond knew quite well that when it came to Sasori, he would die to protect him. But with Sasuke … he was in a whole new league. Deidara knew he'd never be able to beat him and Pein wasn't there to save him this time.

"Just leave, Sasuke, un." The blond growled. He realized that the Uchiha was blocking the way back and they would just be in more trouble if they went farther down the trail. 'What to do?' he wondered as he watched Sasuke for any sudden movements.

"No." Sasuke said stubbornly. 'Just like an Uchiha.' Deidara realized as he watched Sasuke take a step forward and get down on all fours. Quickly, realizing he was going to shift, the blond let go of Sasori and got down as well. If Sasuke was going to shift, then Deidara had no other choice if he wanted to protect Sasori.

At least the blond werewolf shifted faster than Sasuke did so that they'd finish the shift at about the same time. Deidara felt the fiery sensation come over his body and it literally felt like his bones were melting. He almost screamed in pain. Why did it hurt so much now? It had never hurt this much before even though he'd only shifted twice and it sure as Hell had never hurt this badly even on the first shift!

By the time it was over, Deidara couldn't even stand. His legs buckled beneath him and he fell over. It appeared Sasuke was in a sort of similar state. He was standing, but barely. The moment he took a step forward, Deidara managed to come back to himself and he leaped to his feet, staggered, and then steadied himself.

The Uchiha dove forward.

Sasori could only watch as the two of them fought. There was nothing he could do, and he felt horrible for it. It didn't appear as though Deidara was getting anywhere. In fact, it looked as though he was losing.

The redheaded cop was about ready to cry out of fear, hatred, anger, and sadness. Every emotion left him when he watched Sasuke's claws come down across Deidara's side and he watched as the blond fell down under the blow with a loud howl of pain.

He didn't get back up.

Sasori moved to take a step towards them but stopped when Sasuke turned to look at him. He felt like a deer in headlights. Sasuke barked out laughter. "Do you have any idea what the customs for our kind are?" The Uchiha asked.

Sasori didn't respond. He didn't need to. He only half heard him anyway, his gaze on Deidara who wasn't moving, a puddle of blood forming beneath him. Sasuke continued without being asked.

"Any werewolf who is turned by being bitten is automatically loyal to the one who bestowed upon them the divine gift." Sasuke said as he began advancing towards Sasori. "The one turned can not defy his turner's orders and must follow his owner's every will."

Sasori started backing away, away from Deidara. Before Sasuke even said another word, he could tell what the Uchiha's intentions were. And they scared him. Sasuke continued speaking. "The things I could do to you … The things I could make you do …" He was drooling.

Sasori was terrified. There was nothing he could do. He was completely trapped. He couldn't leave, not without Deidara. But between him and Deidara was Sasuke, who planned on turning him.

"And you know what's convenient? Werewolves can only turn a human on a full moon. That's one night in a lunar cycle. How lucky that you happened to pick tonight to be outside, away from civilization, where it's easy to get to you."

The redhead continued backing up but didn't notice the edge of the bridge and tripped, falling backwards onto the path. Sasuke took the chance and lunged forward to land on top of Sasori, pinning him down.

Sasori started struggling almost immediately but his efforts were all in vain. Sasuke was just too strong, especially in wolf form. The Uchiha smirked. "End of the line." He snarled before he bent his head and sank his teeth into Sasori's neck.

Sasori opened his mouth to scream but no sound was produced. It felt like fire was being pumped into his body from the teeth that were embedded in his neck. The intense burning feeling began to spread from his neck in every direction across his body at a slow, agonizing pace.

The teeth were removed from his neck and the presence above him disappeared. Sasori moved to get up but his body felt like lead. He felt his eyes closing against his will.

"Don't fall asleep, Sasori!" He heard Deidara yelling. He couldn't respond. His mouth wouldn't open. Despite what was happening to him, he was relieved to hear Deidara's voice. In the background there was fierce snarling, a yelp of pain, more snarling, and then silence.

Sasori's eyes closed completely but he felt a hand on his neck above the bite. It was surprisingly soft. That was his last thought as he succumbed to a world of shadows, where not even demons would find him.
