Deidara started after Sasori after a moment of shocked silence. He didn't want to think of what the red head might do.

"Deidara, wait!" Deidara stopped and looked over his shoulder to see Kisame and Itachi getting to their feet. Itachi was pale, black eyes determined. Kisame looked startled, his hair mussed. "You're going after Sasori, right? We'll come with you."

Deidara blinked, then slowly shook his head. "No, I'll just go alone. You should call an ambulance and get everyone to the hospital."

"Will you be fine on your own?" Itachi asked, brushing his black hair out of his eyes.

"Yeah, un. I'll call you once I get him to calm down."

"You're being rather optimistic there, Dei," Pein said. Deidara smiled and tilted his head to the side.

"Aren't I always, un?" With that, the blonde had turned around and was dashing down the sunlit street, after his best friend.

Pein glanced around the others, sighing. "I suppose we should Kenshin and his cronies to the hospital; some one might get mad if we leave them here."

"What, you mean I can't sacrifice the bastards?!"

"Hidan, is that all you ever think about?"

"No. I also think of what I'm gonna eat for dinner, dumbass."

"Is that it?"

"Yep."

"You're such a simple minded idiot."

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, BASTARD?!"

"Hey, Itachi, did your weasels get their shots?"

"I think so. Why?"

"Cause one of them is trying to eat someone's kidney."

"Oh dear. Marianna, you can stop that now, we're done fighting."

"HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..."

"OW! ITACHI!"

"No biting the shark."

"Can Tobi have another donut?"

"Do you think we're suicidal, you idiot?"

"Are good boys suicidal?"

"I hope Sasori's okay," Konan whispered, oblivious to the sounds of Kakuzu and Hidan arguing. She was looking down the street the blonde and red head had gone down, a sad expression on her face.

"He will, with Deidara there," Pein told her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and flipping open his cell phone to dial 911.

Deidara followed the blood, oblivious to everything else. It was making it's way around the edges of town; he was guessing Sasori didn't want people to see him.

He was heading towards a small lake now. Maybe the red head gone there wash off the blood? The crimson liquid mixed with the sandy ground and formed tiny bloody balls. Deidara pressed on, dashing along the trees at the edge of the lake, eyes fixed ahead. He saw a figure sitting beneath a tree, curled into a tiny ball.

Sasori....Deidara's blue eyes softened as he stopped besides his friend and he kneeled, placing one hand on Sasori's shoulder.

"Sasori, un..." he whispered softly. The red head didn't look up at him, but tilted his head so it was facing the other.

"Deidara, just go away," he mumbled.

"Sasori, everyone will be fine, un," Deidara said softly.

"You can't promise that," came the muffled rely.

"Sasori, please. Everyone is worried about you, un."

"Deidara, go away."

Deidara was getting close to losing his patience by now. "Sasori, please, come on. It's not your fault."

"It's not my fault?! It's not my fault?! I nearly killed them, Deidara!" Sasori yelled, jerking his head up, crimson eyes meeting sapphire. "It is my fault, you stupid brat!"

"Oh, so now I'm a brat, huh, un?!

'Yes, you are! I told, leave me alone, you dammed brat!"

"We're worried about you, Sasori, un!"

"And you shouldn't be, because if it wasn't for me, Kenshin would have never challenged us to a fight, Kakuzu wouldn't have all those cuts, and I wouldn't have nearly killed someone! It's all my fault!" the red head put his head back in his hands, shoulders shaking.

"Sasori..." Deidara put his arm around the red head shoulders again, but the other boy just shoved him away, still not looking at him.

"Please, Deidara, just go away."

"No. Not without you."

"We---I mean, Sasori...Sasori, I'm worried, un! Please, just calm down for me..."

"You're worried? You? Meaning you can feel something other than idiotic happiness, huh? Wow, that's amazing! I mean, really----" Sasori hissed, jerking his head up.

Deidara was too close to his face though.

Their lips crashed together, instantly silencing what Sasori was going to say.

Author's Comments: They kissed! Kinda on accident, though, lol.

People took away my laptop, and that is why it was not up any sooner, sorry about that.
