Saso: ….whatever….
Lol, Sasori is just like Dei, a sore loser!

He tried to use his chakra strings to make Deidara trip.
Dei: But I still won un! Kari-chan doesn't own Naruto or anything else previously owned!
On with the chap!
Chapter 10: Broken Cage
Sasori moved his fingers gracefully. "Iron sand: Scattered Shower!" Iron sand dripped from the puppet's mouth and attacked Deidara in a shower of spikes. Deidara's eyes dilated and a barrier of blue flames deflected the attack. Deidara muttered one word. "Katsu." Sasori saw blue flames headed towards him and leaped into the air as an explosion engulfed the area he was standing in.
Deidara didn't waste time. His eyes dilated once more and he started a silent chant. Sasori's eyes widened and he quickly moved a hand. The iron sand formed another spike, this one longer, more deadly. (If I'm going to stand a chance against Deidara, I'm going to have to attack as if I mean to kill him.) he thought. "Take this!" The spike shot at the blonde. Deidara jumped back to dodge, his lips never stopping. Sasori felt a blast of energy hit him in the chest. He crashed into the wall, his puppet skidding across the room.
(Damnit. He separated me from the Sandaime…fine then. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.) Sasori closed his eyes and saw pages of the Book of the Scorpion. He took a deep breath and focused on Deidara. He raised his arms and brought them down quickly. "Unleash! True power of the Vampire!" he yelled. His eyes turned red and dilated. The lightning coming off of his fingers dissipated. His breath began to come out in puffs of smoke and his wings unfurled his fangs elongated and he pulled out the knife Deidara had crafted for him. Deidara waved his hand and the blue flames appeared at Sasori's feet.
"Frozen Tundra." Muttered the red head. Blood red ice spread through the room at break neck speed. Deidara moved his arms in front of his body and the flames protected him from the freeze. Sasori heard the crash of a window and turned to see that Lucifer and Raito had taken this fight outside. Raito was on a white dragon. "You should pay more attention to YOUR battle, Sasori-kun!" Sasori jumped back as Orochimaru came at him with his blade. The snake attacked once more, aiming for Sasori's throat. Sasori blocked the attack with the knife.
"Who said I wasn't?" Sasori growled as he kicked Orochimaru across the room. He saw Deidara throw a sword at him and side stepped it. Deidara's eyes dilated once more, this time, all the weapons in the room floated up, surrounding Sasori, "…well….shit…this is quite the predicament isn't it?" he muttered. He glanced around and saw that Deidara had left no openings in this bubble of weapons. Orochimaru started to laugh, "It's over Sasori, no one can defeat the Arms Dealer." Sasori heard the click of a gun. (Gotta think fast.) All the weapons attacked at once. Orochimaru laughed like a mad man. "It really is a shame Sasori! You would have made a fine addition to our army!"
A spike of ice pierced Orochimaru's chest.
He turned his head and met blood red eyes. "I-impossible! There was no escaping that attack!" Sasori smirked. He had a few cuts on his face and his black and red jacket was nowhere to be seen. (Sasori wears all black and a black and red jacket.) "I guess Deidra is gonna have to get me a new jacket." He muttered as he threw the snake across the room. He turned to Deidara. The blonde just stared at him with those dull, blank eyes. Sasori felt a tear at his heart. He wanted the eyes that made sapphires dull, not this. "Deidara. You don't have to fight me. I'm your friend. I want to help you." The blonde waved his hand and a couple of knives attacked Sasori. Sasori's scorpion tail appeared and deflected the attack. "Please…let me help you…" he whispered.
"It's no use Sasori." Sasori turned, but not fast enough. Orochimaru's sword went through his stomach. "You put your guard down. Rookie mistake." He said as he kicked Sasori to the ground. He started to laugh.
Sasori looked up at Deidara. The blonde was staring at him, taking in the situation. Suddenly, it seemed like something inside Deidara shattered. His eyes suddenly got a look of shock in them.
And then they were filled with rage.
Sasori blinked, trying to get up past the pain. Orochimaru stopped laughing and kicked him back down. Sasori swore he saw stars as pain ran through his body. He bit back a yell and looked up. Where did Deidara go? Orochimaru's weight vanished and Sasori heard the snake shriek in pain. He felt a slight heat where the sword had gone through him. "D-Deidara?" he asked when he saw the Arms Dealer over him. "What up cop? You look like you've been through a rough time un." Replied the blonde. Sasori smirked at him, "Like you don't know?" Deidara smirked back, "Hey, I'm not the one who stabbed you un." "Fair enough." Deidara stood up and Sasori noticed that the wound had completely healed. He looked back at Deidara who was headed towards the elevator shaft.
"Hidan's fighting? Figures he'd be at the bottom of an elevator shaft un. You think you can handle Orochimaru by yourself?" Sasori smirked, "Yeah. But I'm not letting you go anywhere alone. Wait up." Deidara rolled his eyes but nodded in understanding. They both turned as Orochimaru got to his feet. "You'll pay for that boy!" he exclaimed as he charged at Deidara. Sasori appeared in front of him. "Ice Wolves!" Ice shot from Sasori's hands and formed wolves that attacked Orochimaru. The snake dodged and scowled at the redhead.
He waved his arm and snakes attacked Sasori. Sasori sliced them in half with his knife. "Hurry up Sasori! It's boring watching you fight un! I want some action too!" Sasori smirked. Whatever happened to Deidara, it had him acting different. Sasori's eyes dilated and he started to silently chant. Orochimaru's eyes widened and he started to gasp for air. Deidara watched in interest as the man fell to the ground. After a few seconds, he lay still.
"Nice one un. You preformed that spell well." Stated Deidara as he turned to the elevator shaft. "Hey, Deidara." He turned to Sasori. Deidara turned to him. "How are you?" Deidara grinned, "It's a strange feeling. I've never felt these things so strongly before. And, like I told you before, I've NEVER felt anger before un. It actually feels good." "How'd it happen?"
Deidara got a thoughtful look on his face, "I…don't really know. I saw you on the floor, in pain, and something in me just…shattered un. It felt like a flood of emotion just hit me." Sasori blinked. (Strange. All because I was injured? Does that mean that Deidara has affection for me?) Sasori was brought out of his thoughts when Deidara laughed. IT was a real one, no empty tone. "What?" asked the redhead. "Your face! It's funny un!" Sasori couldn't help but smile. "What are you gonna do now Arms Dealer?" he asked. Deidara stopped laughing, but grinned at Sasori.
"The fun's not over yet!" he exclaimed as he jumped down the shaft. "It figures he'd do that." Sasori turned to see Lucifer. The fallen angel didn't have a scratch on him. "What happened t Raito?" asked Sasori. "The coward ran away when he felt a blast of power come from this room. What happened?" Sasori shrugged, "I'll explain later. Let's go see how Deidara's doing." Lucifer nodded and they leaped down the shaft after the Azure Warlock…
