~:Deidara's P.O.V.:~
I'm starting to worry about Danna. It started raining about a half hour after he left. Even though the rain let up, it's dark. I'm wondering if he's going to come back anytime soon.
Agh, why am I worrying so much? I've actually worried about Danna before, but now more than ever. Maybe it's because he loves, or well, loved, that girl. Wait, so does that make me jelous?
I'm definately jelous of her, but I think it's mostly because she impressed all the other members and made me look like a total idiot. Well, I've looked like an idiot before, but not as much in front of Danna. Why do I care so much about what he thinks?
I..................................................I'm in love with him, I think. I still show him respect, even though he's a jerk to me. I feel really bad for him when there's a thunderstorm, because I've woken up in the middle of the night and heard him trying to calm himself. And even though I don't really agree with his view on art, it gave him..................................a really nice body.
And now I have to go to leader's office for some reason or another. When I enter, leader greets me with, "Sit down."
I sit in one of the chairs. "What do you need me to do un?" I ask.
"You know Sasori well. Find out what's wrong with him and get him to come back inside."
"Yes sir. But I'm gonna have to find him un. He went on a walk and hasn't come back yet un."
"What's wrong with him?! Ever since he was ordered to kill that captive he's been acting strange!"
"I dunno. I'll find out though un."
"Good. Start looking for him in the morning."
"Yes sir."
"Dismissed." I head back to the room Sasori and I share.

~:Momoko's P.O.V.:~
I wake up curled up in Sasori's arms, with his cloak wrapped around me. I shift a little to slightly stretch my limbs. Then I move my head back to see his face better. He really looks like a puppet in this position- his head is bent down and his eyes are closed. I move my arms so that my hands are resting on his cheeks.
He stirs to life. "Good morning, Moko." He says, smiling warlmly.
"Morning Sasori." I reply, leaning in close to him.
He moves his hands so they're holding my face and kisses me. "You must be pretty hungry by now."
"Pretty close to starving."
"Stay here and I'll get you something then." He frees me from his cloak and gets up.
"Alright." I watch as he heads out.
He comes back about fifteen minutes later with a fish in one hand and some wood in the other. "It might take awhile to start a fire. The wood isn't all that dry, and this is some of the dryest I found." He explains, setting the wood down.
"That's ok." I say, taking out some matches that I had in my laptop bag and working on lighting the wood.
After awhile, I get the fire going. Sasori holds the fish, which is now on a stick, over the fire. When it's cooked, he hands it to me. I immediately start eating it while he tends to the fire.
As soon as I finish, I toss the stick into the fire. "So, what're you thinking of doing today?" Sasori asks, looking up from the fire.
"I dunno. Do you have anything in mind?" I reply, messing with the little ribbon on my uniform's shirt.
"Not really. But I don't think we should stay here."
"So we'll just walk wherever then?"
"Sure." He puts the fire out then comes over and helps me up. I grab my laptop bag and am about to sling it over my shoulder when he grabs the strap. "I'll carry that for you."
"You don't have to. It isn't heavy."
"It's a man's job to carry large bags for a woman."
"Really, you don't have to carry it. I don't want you to be burdened by my stuff."
"Fine, you win." He lets go of my bag. "You really are stubborn."
"I know. But what can I say? I'm fifteen. Most girls my age are like this."
He freezes. "Fifteen..................?"
"Yeah, I'm fifteen. Is that a problem?"
"I don't believe myself."
"Sasori, what's wrong?" I ask, placing my hands on his shoulders and pulling myself close to him.
"This is sin. You're fifteen, and I'm THIRTY-NINE."
"Oh. As long as we love each other, age shouldn't matter though."
"Are you crazy?! I'm 24 years older than you!" He shouts, practically shoving me to the ground.
"Sasori! Calm down!" I grip his cloak.
"I........................I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to find you yesterday. Maybe it would've been better if I had stayed back at the base and had worked on forgetting you."
"No, stop that. Please, just forget about the whole age thing. I won't be able to stand it if we're separated again." I pull myself closer to him.
"You really don't care about the whole age thing. God, you've got to be the craziest person alive."
"True, but I don't care."
"Maybe that's why I fell for you."
"The why shouldn't matter either. I just wanna be with you and have you love me."
"Alright, alright, I'll stay." He toussels my hair.
"Thanks. I love you."
"I love you too."
I reach up and kiss his cheek. "C'mon let's go now."
He takes my hand and we leave the hollow of the tree, heading for nowhere.
~:Deidara's P.O.V.:~
My ceaseless search for Danna had begun at 7 in the morning. I've been searching through the sky with my clay bird as it's easier to see and cover more ground. I'm assuming Danna didn't get very far due to the rain last night, but with him, it's hard to say. I don't know why, but as the day wears on, I'm getting more and more worried about Danna. I guess I'm falling more and more in love with him. It's too bad he might not feel the same way.
But who's keeping me from F

G for Danna? His red hair is so.......................well, fleeting. There's not much else to describe it. It's a pop of color, random, and so not like him. He's always quiet and reserved, but has quite the temper. I don't really like that he doesn't respect my art like I respect his. And always fighting is actually a pain- I just never back down because of my ego..........................and my pride.
He probably will never love me. I'm just a pyromaniac blonde with cerulean eyes that loves blowing stuff up. That captive girl, although I don't know what he sees in her, has dirty blonde hair- not much different from mine- and blue-green eyes. The special thing about her is her ability to control things with her mind. I knew this when we had fought, I just didn't know how much she could control. I guess they're like one in the same- they can both control things.
But that isn't a good reason to love someone. And he broke down over her death, even though he barely knew her. I guess there's just something special between them that I can't understand. Well then, I guess it's a good thing she's dead. Although I'm not having any luck with finding Danna.
Trying to find a flash of red in the middle of fall is super hard. The leaves are pretty close to Danna's hair color and I'm up in the air. Ugh, I've dived down when I thought I'd seen him several times now. It's going to get annoying pretty soon. Maybe I should start searching from the ground. That sounds good, so I swoop down into the trees, making a lot of noise in the process, and land on the ground.
I send my bird back up into the sky and turn around to watch as it explodes. Then I turn back to the path and start walking. It's a lot easier to see what's on the ground from the ground, so hopefully I'll find Danna sooner.
Just thinking about Danna makes me remember his red hair. I also remember his chocolate brown eyes. Now a mental picture of him has slipped into my mind. As I see him clearer, my mouth starts to water slightly and I feel dizzy. I am such a fanboy. I don't notice it until the impact, but I fell over. Slowly, the image of Danna fades to black.
~:Momoko's P.O.V.:~
Just a second ago, there was an explosion overhead about a fifteen minute walk from where Sasori and I were. The instant he saw slight flashes, Sasori had tackled me to the ground so I wouldn't get hurt. It wasn't until after the fact that he discovered our distance from the epicenter. But he was curious about what had caused the explosions, so he made me climb on his back and took off running.
The ground under the epicenter didn't betray the explosion, but the greens above did. There were plenty of mangled limbs and charred leaves. Yet there was no sign of what had caused the explosion. Sasori started looking around the area on the ground, in the trees, and in the sky in hopes of finding the cause. But he could't find it, until he started checking up the path a little.
There, by a tree a little off the path, was a body. I hurried over to Sasori, who was standing over them. Then I saw it: the blonde hair. And I finally recognized the Akatsuki cloak.
"Is that..........................?" I ask, looking up at Sasori.
"Yeah. I'm guessing he got caught in the blast....................or he just fainted for some other reason."
"Oh. Maybe we should move him or something?"
"No, stay here. I'll go get some water." I nod as he leaves.
He comes back about two minutes later and splashes some water on the unconscious blonde's face. Said blonde (now conscious) jumps up and shouts, "WHAT THE HELL UN?!"
"You were out cold." Sasori replies calmly.
"D-Danna.........................." His face turns red, almost deeper in shade than that of Sasori's hair.
"Yeah, what're you doing out here brat?"
"I-I was.............................leader told me to come look for you un."
"Oh. And why's you're face red?"
"Uh, 'cause............................it's really hot outside un! Yeah, really hot un!" He fanned himself with his hand.
"Sure it is Dei." At this Deidara's face got even redder. I'm surprised he hasn't noticed me yet. "Well?"
"I-I........................................." He squeezes his eyes shut and suddenly blurts out, "I'MBLUSHINGBECAUSEILOVEYOUUN!" Then he reaches into his pouch and makes a clay bird.
"What?!" Sasori uses his chakra strings to keep Deidara from moving. "Be resonable brat. You know all too well I'm not gay."
"I'm sorry." He says softly, and I think I see a tear rolling down his cheek. "I know you love that captive chick, even though she's dead un."
Oh, so he thinks I'm dead. "She's not dead brat. I lied about that, she simply ran off and I wasn't in the mood to chase after her."
"So..............................you're with her now, aren't you un?" He sniffled and I could tell he was about to break down.
"Yes, and I'm happy with her."
"Then.......................I m-might as well.........................................be dead un." Deidara was crying at this point.
"Stop crying. You're an S-rank criminal."
"I....................................c-can't help it un.............................."
He sighs and pulls Deidara into a hug, rolling his eyes as he rubs his back. Deidara stopped within minutes. "Don't you dare tell anyone about that."
"I won't. Don't tell anyone about that crying either un."
"Deal." Sasori then looks at me.
The whole time I had been frozen in place. I barely noticed his eyes were fixed on me. And when I did notice, my body refused to respond. It was as if for hugging Deidara, I was rejecting him. No, I'm not THAT cold-hearted. I'm just in a lot of shock, that's all.
To the point that Sasori had to kiss me to get me to snap out of my trance. "I-I'm sorry." I stammer, embarrassed that I had been in a trance that long.
"It's nothing. But we have to go back to the base now." He replies, taking my hand.
Then the three of us head back to the Akatsuki base.
