It was finally the day they had been waiting for. The day the Akatsuki was to battle Orochimaru. Being the day that it was, Pein didn't make the members train, instead letting them rest and loll around Deidara's apartment. However, the one thing Sasori couldn't do was rest.
Deidara...you'd better be okay...I'd kill anyone that harmed you. Sasori had never even seen Orochimaru's face before, and yet he wanted nothing more than to rip the man's head off. Deidara was everything to Sasori, and he would not let anyone lay a hand on his precious blonde.
While lost in his thoughts, Sasori felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw the face of the lone female member of Akatsuki, Konan. He had never really spoken to her, but her face looked compassionate and caring.
"Sasori...I know you're worried about Dei and all. But don't, because we're going to get him back. There's no way Orochimaru's going to get away with this." Sasori nodded slowly.
From the couch, Hidan's voice rang out. "Yeah, and besides, he's used to that bastard trying to hit on him and flirt with him." Sasori's eyes darted to Hidan.
"What do you mean?"
The silver haired boy rolled off the couch and made his way over to Sasori. "It's always been pretty fucking obvious that Orochimaru had a thing for...younger men." Hidan grimaced. "Fucking pedophile...anyway, Orochimaru was always making flirtacious moves with Deidara. Blondie usually just ignored him or flipped him off or something like that." Hidan smirked. "One time, he even gave Oro a bloody nose. It was fucking hilarious!"
Sasori's head was buzzing. This had always been happening? Why hadn't Deidara told him? Well, probably to not worry him, but still! Sasori thought he had a right to know.
For the next few hours, Konan and Hidan told Sasori stories about Deidara before he had a partner. The way those two made him out, Deidara had seemed like a God. Finally, the street lights came on and Pein summoned them all to the kitchen area.
"Okay, is everyone ready? Remember, some of you might not come back." Nine heads nodded. "Alright. Let's head out. Be careful, and good luck to you all."

"Sasuke...remember what you tell them." Deidara growled as Orochimaru led him out of the building. Orochimaru had blindfolded him, so he couldn't see where they were going. On top of that, the bastard had put a dog collar on his neck and was now leading him through the city like a dog. I swear, yeah...
"Deidara, are you excited to see your pathetic little comrades get crushed?" Orochimaru tugged the collar, surging Deidara forward.
"Hah. We're going to take you down, dumbass."
Orochimaru chuckled. "Is that so? Well, that would be quite the show."
Deidara scoffed. "It would, and it's going to happen, yeah." Orochimaru just smirked and pulled Deidara forward.
"We're here. Kabuto, you know what to do." The boy that been following behind nodded, and grabbed the blonde.
"Wait, where the fuck are you taking me, yeah?!" Deidara tried to stop walking, but Kabuto kept pulling the chain attached the collar.
"Oh, don't you worry, Deidara, you're going to see your friends...we're just going to make it a little more...fun."
-----x
All was quiet around Orochimaru's compound. The Akatsuki noticed that it was very quiet. They didn't see anyone lurking around, or even patrolling.
"Well, what do we do now?" Konan and Pein were at the head of the group, looking around.
"Pein, maybe we should try to go in...after all, maybe Dei's in there, or something.." Pein glanced in her direction. "But what if it's a trap?"
Sasori sighed, annoyed. "And what if it's not? What if Deidara is locked up in that building?!" Pein shook his head, obviously displeased with the red head's reaction.
"Fine. We'll go up. But be extremely careful. It's probably a trap." They quickly advanced, making their way to the door. No guards tried to stop them, and no one attacked them. But the closer they got to the door, Sasori noticed a shape taking place. It was a boy standing at the door. Onyx hair and eyes...Sasori squinted. He looked almost identical to Itachi.
"So, you guys finally decided to show up...and what do you know? My bastard of a brother is with you." Itachi blinked.
"Ah, yes. What was your name? No, I'm only kidding. Sasuke. Long time no see. How's life?" Sasuke glared at his older brother.
"Sucks, thanks to you."
"You're welcome, little brother."
Sasuke's face filled with temporary rage, but he finally calmed down. "Well, I just happen to know where Orochimaru ran off to, with that blonde kid. He really likes the sound of his own voice."
Sasori clenched his fist. "Where the hell are they? Tell me, you igonorant little brat!" Sasuke merely flicked an imaginary piece of dust off of his clothes. "Well?!" Again, Sasuke didn't answer, but instead yawned.
"Little brother, I recommend you tell us. Love is something not to be tampered with."
"Love? Hah! What the hell would you know about love, Itachi?!"
Itachi motioned to his left, and stated in his monotone voice, "This is my love." He was, of course, gesturing to Kisame, who smiled broadly. Sasuke stared for a few moments, before breaking out into a fit of laughter.
"Hah! My older brother turned out to be a fag. First, you go and fucking kill the whole family. And now you're gay? Wow. Some kid you turned out to be, dumbass." Sasori couldn't take it anymore. This kid was just so aggrivating. He lunged for the boy, and felt his fist connect with Sasuke's face. Sasuke immediately fell to the ground, cursing loudly.
"Now you little shit...you're going to tell us where Orochimaru took Deidara." Sasori stared down at the boy, while the rest of the Akatsuki just looked on.
"Asshole...fine, I'll tell you. Orochimaru ran off with the blonde kid. He took him to the bridge."
"The bridge?" Sasori looked puzzled. He had never seen a bridge. He heard Pein let out a small gasp.
"You mean, the one on the other side of the city? Jesus! Couldn't he at least have given us some notice? Well, come on everyone. Let's let Emo Boy here sit and brood over his lost childhood." The others snickered, and began walking away.
-----x
Sasori glared at the bridge as they approached it. This was the bridge where Orochimaru was, and where Deidara was. Finally, Sasori would get to see him again.
"Look, there he is!" The rest of the group fell silent and followed Pein's outstretched finger, and sure enough, Orochimaru was standing on the other side of the bridge, smirking.
"Oh look! If it isn't my old friends from Akatsuki! How have you all been?" No one answered. Instead, Sasori moved to the front of the group, glaring.
"Where is Deidara?"
Orochimaru smiled. "You must be the little twit they replaced me with. And I hear you and Deidara are in love? Shame. He's much too good looking for you."
Sasori was getting ready to lunge again, but was stopped by Kisame. "Sasori, he's just trying to mess with your mind. Don't let it get to you." Sasori only nodded. He wasn't making any promises.
"I'm asking you again, Orochimaru: Where...is..Deidara?" Orochimaru frowned.
"You want to see him that badly? Alright then. Kabuto, you can bring him out now." There was a clinking sound and swearing, but after a few moments, Kabuto emerged, leading Deidara, who was still blindfolded.
"'Sori? Is that you, yeah? Dammit, asshole, at least take the blindfold off!" Sasori froze, but then felt a mix of love and rage. "Dei..."
Orochimaru stepped forward. "You two are honestly in love? Ha..ha.." Without warning, Orochimaru pulled Deidara in and passionately kissed him. Sasori gritted his teeth, but was still held back by Kisame. "You're just going to let him do that?" Kisame quickly hushed him. "Watch Dei."
For a split second, all was quiet. Then, before anyone could think, Deidara had swept his legs under Orochimaru's, sending the man flying. Sasori broke free from Kisame, and sprinted towards Deidara, who was standing a few feet away. As soon as Sasori touched the blonde, he was wrapped into a hug.
"'Sori...I thought you'd never come.." The blonde's voice was beginning to crack, almost like he was crying.
"Ssh..Dei, it's okay. Of course we'd come for you.." Sasori quickly removed the blindfold Deidara was wearing. Seeing the cerulean blue eye once again brought a wave of happiness over Sasori.
"Sasori..." Deidara brought his lips to Sasori's, and they stayed like that for a few moments. Deidara was glad to taste Sasori again, and get the foul taste of Orochimaru out of his mouth. It would have been perfect, if Orochimaru hadn't got back on his feet.
"I hate to interrupt your 'perfect moment,' but it's time to die now." Instantly, hundreds of Orochimaru's cronies swarmed the bridge, circling around the Akatsuki. Deidara and Sasori quickly broke away.
"Sasori, I want you to know something, yeah."
"What, Dei?"
Deidara hugged Sasori once more. "No matter what happens, I'll always love you forever, no matter what." Sasori nodded. "I'll always love you too, Dei. No matter what."
"I'm going to take down Orochimaru, yeah." Deidara looked Sasori in the eye, and then kissed him once more, before running into the crowd of people. Sasori started to follow after him, but Deidara stopped him.
"Sasori, I need to do this. I'll come back, I promise, yeah."
