Deidara walked away, a bit discouraged. He had gone over to Master Zetus bedroom, to go and apologize to Tobi, but he had been informed that the little orange ninja turtle was now asleep and it would be best not to wake him.

Sadly he walked back downstairs, feeling bad about not getting to apologize properly, but also a bit worried about the lecture that awaited him in the dining room. He hurried a bit knowing Master Sasori was certainly not the patient type, a lesson he had learned just last week.

As he walked in, he spotted the mess of red hair peeking out from behind one of the chairs, facing away from him.

Taking a deep breath, he walked over and took a seat in front of the red headed puppet master. He sat quietly, waiting for Sasori to strike up the conversation. After a few moments of grueling silence the red head spoke.

"Deidara, I feel the need to apologize to you. I've been too pushy, and never really considered your opinon or feelings. So here's what we need to discuss now, would you feel more comfortable pushing the marking ceramony?" Sasori asked, in a monotone keeping his hands folded on the table. Deidara felt a little taken back by the question.

"N-No Master Sasori... I wouldnt want you to get in trouble with the cops..."

Sasori held his hand up, cutting the blond off.

"Deidara, I could care less about the cops. I'm asking you, for your thoughts."

"Oh, I would rather get it over with..." Deidara trailed off.

"Are you sure?" Sasori asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Deidara nodded his head quickly, wringing his hands nervously underneath the table. Sasori nodded curtly, before straightening up a bit.

" Alright, we'll keep the date as it is. But If you change your mind...don't hesitate to speak up about it." And with that said, he got up and left the room swiftly, leaving the blond to sit and think about his decision.

"psst... psst!"

Deiadara pivoted around in his chair, to spot Hidan motioning him over from across the room. He gave him a slightly annoyed look, knowing that the albino and probably Itachi had heard the conversation he had with Master Sasori.

With a sigh, he got up and hurried over to the albino, before being grabbed and pulled towards the game room.

Inside the games room, Itachi was waiting for their return.

"Were you listeing in on my conversation with Master Sasori?" Deidara asked, worried.

"No, I ran over as soon as Itachi and I see Sasori head upstairs. So what you two talk about?" Hidan asked, plopping down on the couch.

"Oh...you know just to be nicer to Tobi... stuff like that." Deidara said, taking a seat.

"Don't feel to bad about that Deidara, Tobi's always had selfesteem issues, even in his kennel days." Itachi reasurred.

"Yeah, well anyways lets get down to buisiness. You're going to meet us down here tonight, right?" Hidan asked.

"Oh, I don't know you guys. I don't want to get into more trouble with Master Sasori," Deidara said, remembering that Master Sasori had said he wouldnt be so leniant the next time.

"Aww come'mon Dei, how much trouble could you get in? You got a time out, for jashins sake! If I had yelled at Tobi, Kuzu-sama would have whipped my ass!" Hidan said, a little too loudly.

"Hidan's right Deidara, Sasori doesn't seem like the violent type. The worst you'll get is another corner time, fifteen minets max," Itachi said, surprisingly backing Hidan up.

"Alright," Deidara agreed, trusting Itachi's judgement.

"Well you better get going Dei, Sasori-sama will be wondering where you are. Wouldn't want a repeat of this afternoon..." Hidan said, watching as Deidara got up and booked it out of the games room.

Later on that night, after dinner everyone got together to watch a movie as a family in the living room, well everyone except Sasori and Deidara. After Dinner Deidara had gotten the opporunity to apologize to Tobi, and straighten everything out, but when they were invited to watch the movie with the rest of the gang, Sasori politely declined saying it would be best for them both to call it a night early. Exiting the room, Hidan and Itachi both gave Deidara a small nod as the red head leaded them both up to their bedroom.

"What a long day," Sasori said, stretching his arms over his head

"Yeah, " Deidara agreed, faking a yawn. Sasori seemed to slightly smirk.

"Well I think it would be best if you went to sleep now, you need the rest." He said, grabbing the little pile of clothes off the floor, that served as his pajamas. He went into the bathroom to get dressed and brush his teeth. He came back into the room to find Deidara sitting on the bed quietly. He was going to ask the blond why he was being so quiet, but he decided that he must have still been a bit upset about getting in trouble earlier and was probably a little embarrased. Best not bring it up again, but he couldn't help himself.

"Is everything alright Dei?" Sasori asked, sitting next to him.

"Yeah, I'm tired...but I want to take a shower before going to bed." Deidara said, grabbing his towel off a peg from the closet and heading towards the bathroom.

"Alright," Sasori said, watching him close the door quietly. He sighed a bit before getting underneath the blanket and closing his eyes.

Deidara padded over to the shower, turning on the shower and hopping inside. He made sure to take his time washing his hair and cleaning up, so that by the time that he got out of the shower Master Sasori would be fast asleep. about 20 minuets later, he got out, drying himself off and getting dressed, and thoroughly dried his hair with a dry towel.

Once that was all done, it had been a good half an hour since he had gone into the bathroom. Carefully he cracked open the door, happy to find Sasori passed out cold. He tip toed his way to the door and slipped out.

Quietly he made his way down the stairs and into the game room where he would wait for Itachi and Hidan like they promised. He skimmed through a few magazines, until the door opened and Itachi and Hidan slipped inside.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Dei, we had to ditch our masters." Itachi said, taking a seat near the blond.

"Thats okay, I haven't been waiting long." Deidara explained, putting the magazine down.

"Well lets not waist time chat-chitting! Lets get down to buisness!" Hidan said, a little too loudly.

"Shhhh," Itachi shushed him harshly, before looking over at Deidara," I guess the first thing you should know..."

All three stopped, when the door was abruptly swung open.

(Earlier, Sasori's POV)

I felt a little bad, watching him head towards the bathroom with that slightly adorable pout on his face. Maybe I could make it up to him tomorrow? Hmm, we'll have to see.

I crawled into bed, knowing that me hovgering over him would be the worst thing to do at the moment. I had to be gentle and patient, sure he wasn't really "pet" material, but he was still transitioning. I felt sleep over come me a lot faster then I thought it would.

In minutes... everything went still.

So quiet

So peacefull

So calm.

"AHHH!"

My head turned towards the sound of the cry.

Its Deidara... he's crying... He's in pain.

I run towards him, but I make no advances towards him, like this dark room expands with my every step. He's not alone though. WHO IS THAT? Who's hurting my Dei!

Stop it

Stop it

I try to scream, but something has stolen my voice.

All I can do is watch my blond scream in agony. He's not alone though! That man is hurting him!

Who are you?!

...I still can't speak.

What do you want!?

...please stop.

Focusing on the man causing my blond pain, I can tell he's another vampire. His skin is pale white

...like mine.

His hair is a messy, blood red.

...like mine.

I can tell he has green eyes.

...like mine.

Its...It's me. I'm hurting Dei. Why? I would never hurt him!

Then I can see. My teeth...latched to his throat.

My eyes snap open. I feel my heart racing at a dangerous speed. I touch my face, feeling the cold sweat on my forehead, making sure I'm awake.

"It was just a bad dream..." I whisper to myself.

I reach over to Deidara's side of the bed, wanting so bad to feel his warmth, and inhale his sweet scent. But the bed is cold.

(Back to present Normal POV)

The three young boys turned around, with scared expressions, seeing the firey red headed vampire standing at the doorway.

"Deidara..." he growled, " Why are you not in bed?" he asked in a deep, feral tone.

The three teens weren't sure how to respond at the red heads question, frozen at the sound of Sasori's tone.

"O-Oh," Deidara whispered, finidng his voice, " S-sorry Master Sasori... I just came to say good night to Itachi and Hidan-"

"Don't. Lie. To me," Sasori growled cutting the blond off. The three sat unsure of what to do, never before witnessing Sasori with such a bad temper.

"We're sorry Master Saso-" Itachis started, before being abruptly pushed out of the way with a strong swing of Sasori's arm. The impact knocked him off the back of the couch, knocking the wind out of the raven.

"Hey!" Hidan yelled, running towards the raven, "Master Sasori! you're -"

With a another shove Hidan was knocked to the ground. Deidara sat frozen in fear, trying desperatley to scoot back and away from his master.

"H-help!" he cried, as Sasori grabbed onto his arm tightly. He was dragged forcefully out of the room, kicking and screaming.

"Master S-Sasori! You're hurting him!" Itachi yelled, standing up on wobbly legs.

Itachi's cry fell on deaf ears, as Deidara's screams drowned it all out. He tried freeing his arm, but Sasori just gripped his arm harder. Anymore pressure and his arm would surley be crushed.

"Please! Please let me go!" Deidara begged, shaking with fear. He had never seen Sasori like this.

"Bad boys...get punished..." Sasori murmmered quietly. They walked, well in Deidara's case, dragged through a small corridor until they came to a door. Upon opening it, sasori and Deidara entered a room fit for a horror movie.

The room was round and dimly lit. Following the shape of the room where 4 large coffins. Each coffin was a different color and trim. On the far left was a white one, with a black border. Next to that one was a Dark purple, with lavander trim. To the right was a black one with red trim, and farter right was a bright orange with dark grey trim. Sasori swiftly brought the blond over to the black with red, popping open the top and placing the blond inside.

"MASTER SASORI!" Deidara yelled, as the cover was closed. He tried desperately to pry open the door.

"Think about what you've done! Think about what you've done!" Sasori yelled banging on the cover. His voice full of hate.

Deidara screamed, until his throat burned. He felt the walls close in on him, the oxygen thinning out.

"p-please... l-let me out..." Deidara coughed.

He heared a familiar voice outside, and recognized it as Kakuzu's.

"Sasor! what have you done! Kisame get Deidara out of there!" Kakuzu yelled.

The top opened, and Deidara was greeted with Kisames face. Only it wasn't its usual cheery self.

Kisame didn't hesitate to scoop Deidara out and head out of the horrid rrom. Before they left though, he caught a glimpse of Pein holding Sasori back, and saying things quietly in his ear.

"You said you'd never hurt me..." Deidara whimpered.

"Shh, Dei. Everything is okay." Kisame reassured him, heading to the houses small clinic.

Deidara continued to cry, his breathing picking up speed, his mind going fuzzy. His lungs felt desperate for air, like he was still in that damn coffin. Before he fell asleep though, he heard an agonizing cry for his name.

"DEIDARA!"
