Konan was slightly worried about Sasori, all of the Akatsuki were. Pein was trying to figure out a hell of a plan to get their blonde hyperball back, but it was proving to be difficult, seeing as they didn't know where the blonde was, there was no evidence to suggest where they were going to take him, or what they were going to do to him. The only thing they knew, was who took him, but only Sasori and Zetsu could prove that, seeing as they were the only ones who had seen the group. Konan sat next to Itachi at the kitchen table, sipping the scolding tea carefully.
"Anything?" She asked, blowing the tea, watching as it rippled outwards.
"No, we've scanned the area twice today. Nothing" Konan nodded in acknowledgement. "Was there any history on who these people might be?"
"No, Pein dug through everything. Nothing was found. Deidara didn't want us to know about it, he seemed set on making us forget anything about the attack. So he didn't want us to know"
"Right. So he wouldn't have logged it anywhere? I mean, if he didn't want us to know, and he didn't want his past revealed or disclosed, he wouldn't have written anything down"
"Yeah" Konan sighed and took a sip of her tea. "I know Deidara's no girl, but he wouldn't have kept a – dare I say it…" She sucked in her breath and blurted out the word "Diary"
"I doubt it, wouldn't Leader-sama have already found it? And if it was in his bedroom, Sasori would have. Where else would something like that be?"
"Oh I don't know! It was just a thought…" She sipped her tea again. "There has to be something! There might not be any tracks, but…there just has to be! I mean…they wouldn't … they wouldn't ikill/i him would they?"
"No, because if they do, they're gonna' end up a pile of bloody friggin' chop suey!" Sasori appeared at the doorway, anger evident in his face.
"Yeah, okay then…" Konan nodded, and went back to sipping her tea.
"Whatever" Sasori turned on his heel, and went in search of Pein, finding him in his office, enveloped in darkness.
"Sasori" His voice sounded cold, yet it had a warming feeling to it, perhaps sympathy?
"Leader-sama" Sasori made a small bow, and rose. "I want to go to the village. Look around, maybe I can find something, or maybe find someone who saw something else. Or-"
"Go" The answer came as a definite one.
"What?"
"Go. You and Itachi. He suggested it a few hours ago, but I wasn't sure if you'd agree. Plus, i'm not sure about iyou/i going" Sasori heard a chair scrape across the floor.
"Why not? He's my partner! He's my responsibility! I-"
"Sasori, I doubt its much of a secret that you share feelings for Deidara-"
"Hel-lo! I can't feel! And if I could I wouldn't feel banything/b for that brat!"
"Okay then, but that's the way we see it. If you become too emotional, you're coming back here, understand?"
"Emotional! I. Cant. Feel. Emotions!"
"Sasori you have a heart, hearts feel things, they love, they hurt, they want, need, they ifeel/i Sasori, you need to understand this. I will let you go, but understand this. If either of you are put in any danger or at any risk because of your so called emotions are in the way, its not going to go down well with me"
"Fine" Sasori made a final bow, and walked out, slamming the door behind him.
"'Sori Senpaiiiii!" Tobi squeeled, running towards the red head. "I have something!" Tobi held out a book to Sasori.
"Jesus! Tobi I don't have the time nor the patience to read you a friggin' story right now!"
"What?..." Tobi blinked and Sasori stormed off, but Tobi was close at his heels. "No! No, Sasori senpai! Its not a book!"
"Tobi, it has friggin' pages, it has a friggin' cover and words! It's a book!" Sasori rudely and harshly pushed Tobi into a wall before descending down the stairs.
"Sori' Senpai can be sooooo blind sometimes. Kooonnnnaaannn!!" He yelled running down the stairs and into the kitchen, almost tripping over the last stair - again.
"Konan!" He grinned behind his mask. "Tobi's been a very good boy and searched for clues!"
"Really Tobi?" Itachi asked, clearly bored.
"Tobi wasn't asking Itachi-san. Konan, Tobi found…. bthis!/b" He presented to Konan the book rather dramatically, pushing it out infront of him so Konan could clearly see it. It had a picture on the front of an explosion, and a title that said "Bang me, but don't read me" on it.
"Tobi, where did you find this? What is it?" Zetsu asked, now appearing next to the doorframe.
"Tobi found it in the basement. One of Sasori-san's scorpions got lost and found its way to the basement, so I went to pick it up and take it back to Sasori-san's room like a good boy, and I found it!" He said gladly.
"Where's my scorpion, freak?" Sasori said, leaning on the kitchen table, glaring at Tobi. He raised an eyebrow.
"Should still be in the basement, I'll go get it yeah!" Tobi bounced off to the basement to retrieve the "lost" scorpion. Konan picked up the dark book from the table, and attempted to open the cover. It wouldn't budge.
"Ummm" She game a nervous giggle. "Anyone wanna' help?"
"Its probably got a trap on it or something, like you have to say "Un" or blow the cover off or something. Hell, it could be any of the blonde's dumb ass words! There's un, boom, art, fleeting, katsu…" Sasori guessed.
"Or Danna" Konan suggested, and instantly, the book flew open, and turned to the first page, which was covered in Deidara's perfect handwriting. "This looks like a..diary?! See Itachi I said! Disnt I say? Oh I think I said!!"
"Deidara keeps – a diary?! Sasori's stoic look was plastered on his face for a further two seconds, before a slight grin appeared on his face. Also, at that moment, Hidan collapsed on the floor with laughter, Konan giggled, and Zetsu chuckled, Itachi was dying to laugh, but like Sasori, preferred the grin. Leader-sama appeared at the doorway, glancing at Konan for an explanation, the others laughing too much for a reply, well…apart from Itachi ad Sasori.
"D-Deidara keeps a diary s-sir" Konan tried to keep back giggles, but failed miserably. Pein raised his eyebrows, biting back a laugh.
"Read it, find out if there's anything in there that can help us"
"Y-yes sir" Konan nodded and began reading as Pein walked out, his shoulders shaking with silent laughter.
"Wouldn't we be invading his personal things though?" Sasori asked.
"So fucking what if we are puppet boy! We arent supposed to keep secrets … right?" Hidan recovered from his laughing fit.
"True…" Zetsu returned to the table with a glass of water to calm the giggles. "But what if he finds out and goes all mad on us?" He took a sip of the water, and slurped it. It reminded Sasori of when Deidara was sipping the soup and called him a freak. His hands curled into fists.
"Yeah well if he's dead he cant can he!" Sasori growled and stalked out, his cape dramatically following.
"Which termites ate him?"
"Shut it Zetsu, he's fucking hormonal that's all"
"Guys! He's Deidara's partner, he probably blames himself, even if he does say stuff like 'It's the brat's fault'. Give him a break!" Konan said, slamming her fist on the table. "Lets get back to work, yeah?" The others nodded, and left Konan to read in peace, not wanting to anger the woman any further. Konan frowned and began to read with determination.
