A dragon's Rant: I hope everyone had a great christmas or holiday, sorry for the wait been busy with family,I'm happy to get the rest of the akatsuki involved since from here on out they will be needed, as for Sasuke loving Deidara if Madara loves him and itachi and him are like brothers why not and also who could look at a shirtless Deidara and not like him ;), my bad I just had to say that XD

All the akatsuki members sat at kitchen table for the mandatory meeting their leader had called. Pein sat at the head of the table with Konan to his right and Itachi to his left. Kisame sat beside the raven, while Tobi sat beside the bluenett. The spot next to the masked nin was empty, as the bomber would have been sitting there. Next to the shark nin was Kakuzu, then Zetsu, while Hidan sat across from the money lover and in between the empty seat and Zetsu. Deidara would have been at the meeting but he was resting. "Leader~sama whats this about?" Kisame asked as he yawned. Him and Itachi had just returned from a very long and tiring mission and were about to go rest when Pein had called the meeting. "It's about Deidara," was all he said as the room went dead silent. Only Konan, Hidan, Tobi and himself knew what happened to the bomber. Pein called the meeting after Konan told him what happened. Even though they were s-rank criminals, they were also like a family and no one hurts their family and gets away with it. After a few moments went by, he went on, "Deidara has told Konan and Tobi who had attacked him and very well who possibly killed..." He stopped himself from saying the puppet master's name just in case the bomber was around, now that he was able to walk a bit by himself, but everyone gave a nod to show they knew who he meant. "He says it was Sasuke Uchiha who attacked him." Everyone's eyes flickered to the older Uchiha. Itachi's heart skipped a beat at the sound of his younger brother's name. Even though the raven and the bomber didn't get along that well, they both had unspoken respect for each other. The kind an older brother who never said or did much for a younger but would always be there for them in the time of need. He remembered the blond telling him about problems Sasuke was causing him and so trying to be like the older brother he was to the blond he had told him he would deal with it, but due to many long missions they were sent on the Uchiha didn't have time to go look and confront the younger and now he felt a bit bad.

When the orange haired male told them who had cause Deidara his injuries, tempers flared. Yeah sure the bomber was a pain when he set one of his explosions off causing some damages that would need repair. The way he would act so cocky and think no one could beat him and his art. Most of all was the way he acted like a brat, but even so the bomber was part of the family and no one should ever get the injuries that he had suffered. He was like a brother to Hidan due to the fact they both were cocky in the face of battle and go out of their way to make a point in what they believed, and to Kisame it was the fact they both could look deadly in a second and that would be all they needed to make their opponents dead, and Itachi mostly due to the fact he defeated the bomber and put him in his place. Also the fact they were both very intelligent and could come up with battle strategies even when fighting. Kakuzu was more like an uncle since he is one of the older member's of the akatsuki. Zetsu was like the cousin that would pop in from time to time but no matter what you never learned anything about them. Konan was like a mother figure to all members but mostly to the bomber since he is the youngest and like a sister to Pein. Pein himself was in charge but since the origami artist was like a mom he refused to be the father thinking it would be just to weird for them to be viewed like that when they were more like siblings. Tobi was like the one who would follow you around just to be with you and look out for you even if you didn't know he was there.

While the meeting went on, Deidara was lost in thought in his room. He had a lot on his mind, but the two main ones were how were they going to deal with Sasuke and the second was why did Tobi or Madara as he preferred to be called when they where alone, cared for him so much when they had only really met four years ago. He knew that Madara was the true leader and all but that still really didn't make sense. Why he would have such strong feelings for the bomber, he knew he would have to ask him later. The bomber kept thinking of how things were going to turn out, but mostly how could his Danna be taken down so easily. Did Orochimaru help Sasuke take him out? If so why? Was there something more behind the reasons why the younger Uchiha wanted him to join him and the snake man? With all the questions buzzing around in his head, the blond brought his hands to his forehead as a headache started to form. He tried to sit up but that just made the pain worse. He ignored it and went to the bathroom to get a cold cloth then went back to bed. He pulled the covers up to his shoulders and placed the cloth on his forehead then drifted off to sleep.

~meanwhile~

The young male put the last of the items he needed away and only after going over everything was he satisfied with what he had. "Leaving already Sssasuke?" Said male turned to the man in his door way. "If I wait to much longer he will be fully healed and more troublesome" Grabbing his things he went to leave when he was stopped. "If you go now you will have to face the other memberss of that horrid group I'm ssure they all know by now." A shadow appeared next to him, "he is right why not wait? then you can have some back up just in case things go wrong." Kabuto stepped out of the shadows. Throwing his bag to the side Sasuke gave both men a glare, "fine," and stormed pass them and disappeared as the shadows swallowed him up. "He must be in a hurry to get that blond guy. Who would have thought he would even have those kinds of feelings." Orochimaru just smirked, "it is interessting but I still want to know how that bomber did it." The other looked at the snake man, "well if we get him we can ask him." With that they both vanished. It had almost been two weeks since he had seen the one thing he wanted, other then the death of his brother and not being able to see the bomber in that time was putting him in a really bad mood. Sasuke went to the tree he often sat in when he wanted to be alone with his thoughts.

"So let me get this straight. You're saying that Sasuke Uchiha is obsessed with Deidara and that's why he almost killed him?" asked Kisame. The shark nin gave a yawn, the meeting had already gone on for an hour and he was almost starting to pass out. Pein gave a nod, "yes according to Deidara this has been going on for a while." There was a sigh, "I still don't see why blondie didn't just fucking kill his ass." "Because no matter how strong Deidara is there is no way he could do that on his own." Everyone looked at the raven and they all knew he spoke the truth. Then Konan spoke, "so what are we going to do? If this keeps up it will only cause us problems." "How much would he be worth?" Everyone turned to look at the miser "..." It was quiet when thud. Itachi and Konan looked at the passed out Kisame on the floor. Pein rubbed his temples seeing as they would have to continue this in the morning as the immortal got up. "Hahahahahahahaha fucker is out cold!" Zetsu got up as well, "lets eat him," his black half was saying. "No we shouldn't do that," his white half said. "Hahaha looks like shark boy is going to become sushi." Pein got up, "no one is eating anyone. Zetsu go eat elsewhere. Hidan take your cursing to your room, everyone is dismissed. We will finish this in the morning and Itachi drag him to his room." He finished as he pointed to the sleeping shark nin. "What the fuck ever" the immortal said before leaving with Kakuzu, as Zetsu vanished while Tobi helped Itachi drag Kisame to their room. The origami artist went to the orange haired male, "Pein." Said male just sighed, "this is going to be a problem to deal with and I think it would be best if Itachi doesn't get too involved." The bluenett gave a nod, "so what will we do?" "Ether way you look at it, Sasuke is a threat and has to be eliminated completely"

After helping Itachi, Tobi went to the bomber's room and noticed the cloth on his sempai's head. Damn. Sasuke, he should have died years ago, he thought to himself as he sat to the blonds bed. It was getting late and almost everyone was asleep or heading to bed, all but Madara who stayed up to keep an eye on Deidara just in case anything should happen.

~two weeks later~

All was silent in the base, a few members were up having breakfast while others were asleep. Yes it was another normal day for the akatsuki, kaboom! , an explosion erupted from the training grounds near the base that shook the ground and the base. "What the fuck!" Hidan shouted as he fell out of bed from the shock. He jumped up with a spike in hand "bring it on mother fucker I'll kick your ass!" Nothing, it was only then that the immortal realized that he was dreaming when the explosion happened. In the kitchen Konan, Itachi and Kakuzu all sighed, "he seems to be feeling better," the raven stated. The origami artist smiled, "yea though I wish he didn't set his bombs off so early in the morning." Another explosion went off. At this point everyone was up and headed for the kitchen all but Deidara. "I'm going to kill that fucker!" the immortal was saying as he entered the kitchen. "Well at least he is doing it outside," replied the money lover. Just then the bomber entered the base and all eyes looked at him. "What yea?" Pein spoke, "Deidara we know you're glad to be up and at it again but do you think you could tone down the explosions a bit?" Everyone gave a nod, "s-sorry yea." The blond bowed and went to get some food. He then sat next to Konan. When everyone was settled, Pein went over the last of the details of their plan to get revenge on Sasuke and what everybody's rolls would be, Pein then finished the meeting, "is that clear? Tomorrow we set out.".
