Chapter 25
Akatsuki
Deidara walked down the hallway slowly, studying all the objects as he went. Sasori followed slowly, his nature far less curious then his partner's.
"Brat, put it down." Sasori said in a calm, monotone growl as Deidara picked up an especially strange device. Suddenly, Deidara's finger slipped and the strange box flickered with colors. Both of the men backed away, their eyes widened at their new discovery.
"Danna, look what I found, un." Deidara said as he loonted towards the now colored and animated box. Sasori turned to face Deidara, his brown eyes filled with annoyance.
"Brat, I was right here when it came alive." Sasori hissed as he walked towards the box. Sasori was no fool, in fact he was quite intuitive and knowledgeable. He had known for a while that something was up with this place. For one, he was in human form instead of puppet form. That was enough to tell him that something was different. Maybe, like Itachi had proposed, they were under an insanely powerful jutsu. For some reason, Sasori doubted that possibility.
"We should report this to Leader-sama, un." Deidara said as he walked towards his partner, bending down to study the strange object. Sasori frowned as Deidara invaded his personal space.
"Brat, get away from me," Sasori hissed, his face turning towards a heavy frown. "Go tell Leader what we found."
"Hey! I found it, un!" Deidara yelled as he turned and left, following Sasori's orders.
"Whatever gets you to leave, brat." Sasori hissed as he began messing with the box. He picked up the object that had made the box come to life and pressed another button. As he continued to do this, watching as the colors changed, Rika and Autumn tiptoed up behind him. Rika gestured towards her blonde counterpart to stay silent as she held the toaster tightly in her hands. Autumn nodded in response as they continued tiptoeing towards their red haired target. Just as Rika raised the toaster, preparing to smack Sasori over the head with it, Sasori whirled around. He smacked the back of Rika's knees, causing her to tumble to the ground with a loud squeal of pain. Sasori was quick to pin her down, ripping the toaster from her hands and knocking her over the head with it. He then stood, his eyes boring into Autumn as she backed away.
"You really thought that you were going to sneak up on me?" Sasori demanded, his eyes narrowed. He watched, lightly amused, as Autumn's face twisted into resolve and she bent into a battle position.
"Come at me, bro!" Autumn yelled as she began to circle the baffled redhead. He stared at her as she circled him before raising the toaster above his head, bringing it down quickly and suddenly on Autumn's skull. As she fell to the ground, Sasori turned his attention back to the tv. As he began opening the sides of it his blonde partener strolled back in.
"Leader said to-" Deidara stopped talking when he noticed the unconscious girls on the floor. "Woah, Danna, what happened, yeah?" Deidara asked, turning to see his partner dissecting the tv. Sasori grunted as he reached his arm into the tv, frowning when the tv's screen suddenly turned black. He sighed, standing up and dropping a handful of wires and other various objects to the ground.
"What did Leader say?" Sasori demanded as Deidara bent over, poking Autumn's face. Deidara stood up when he noticed Sasori addressing him.
"Leader said to keep it alive so that he could come and see it, un." Deidara then looked at the tv. "You killed it, yeah." Sasori sighed, his eyebrows furrowing.
"Go tell Leader that it suddenly flickered off." Sasori said, turning and stuffing various object back into the tv.
"What! You tell him, un! He's gonna be mad, yeah!" Deidara crossed his arms as Sasori sighed, muttering something to himself as he left. The only word Deidara managed to catch was 'brat.'
