AN: I don't own Naruto, or its' characters.

"But shopping is so boooring, un." Came a small protest from a familiar blue eyed blonde boy, in whom was sitting impatiently in the kitchen, waiting for Sasori. He had remembered shopping, he had only gone a few times back when he was with his mother, and well…He could think of better things to do with his time, honestly. "Sasooori, un." He called out again, wiggling around on the counter in the kitchen impatiently; he wanted to get this over and done with.

The red haired man finally walked out of his room, dressed in something other than his Akatsuki cloak for once. A black hoodie sweatshirt, and jeans, he didn't want to start trouble out there, because he knew once someone saw an Akatsuki member holding a child…Well…There was really no way that'd go over well. He didn't want to put himself in danger, along with the rest of the Akatsuki, even if everyone…Didn't really respect them in the first place. But most importantly, he didn't want to put Deidara in danger…This shopping trip was supposed to be enjoyable, not dangerous.

He laughed, "You've got less patience than me…" He said, picking the boy up off the counter, in whom was still wearing the old shirt that Sasori had gave him when he first brought him there. He didn't really want to bring him out looking like that, but…He just didn't really have much of a choice.

Deidara sighed, "Sasori un…Do we have to go shopping?" He asked, only to receive a nod from the older man. He pouted slightly, crossing his arms, "But shopping is for girls, un!" He shot back, as if he'd get out of this.

Sasori only laughed in response again, "For girls, huh? Well then Deidara, maybe while we're shopping you'll find yourself a nice little girlfriend…" He teased, grinning at the blush that spread across the boys face.

"I will not un! Girls are stupid anyways, un..." He mumbled, his blush deepening slightly, crossing his arms tighter against his chest, as if to prove a point. Sasori grinned, ruffling his hair with one hand, "That'll change when you get older, kid."

Deidara grumbled, glaring down at the ground as they walked, that is until they actually reached town, and then his mood was completely lifted. His eyes lit up slightly, noticing stores other than just plain old boring clothes shops, even though those were going to be the ones they went into. His eyes drifted over to small stands on the pathway, with all sorts of food.

Sasori blinked, grinning down at the boys expression, "Yeah, not as bad as you thought it would be, hm?" He asked, as Deidara immediately looked up at him, grinning widely, nodding in agreement. He couldn't remember the last time he was in a town this big, and actually excited about it.

Sasori looked around, "Lets see here…First off, we need to find you some decent clothing.." He said, noticing the looks from a few mothers he was receiving, laughing nervously under his breath. Of course, surely, him being well dressed and holding a child that barely had what you could call proper clothing on wasn't a good thing in other parents' eyes. He sighed quietly to himself, shaking his head, "Come on Deidara, let's go…" His voice trailed off, looking over a few shops, pointing over to one that seemed to hold clothing for children about Deidara's age. He walked into one, and eventually went searching. He put the boy down, but made sure to keep a tight hold on his hand so he wouldn't wander off. He continuously searched through the whole store, eventually finding some close that would fit Deidara's tastes decently- if he even had any, yet. He pulled down a black T-shirt, with assorted prints on the front. It was a little big yet, but he'd grow into it, no doubt. When he was done with the shirts, he pulled the boy over to the shoes and pants.

"Sasori un!" The boy said excitedly, reaching up towards a small shelf that had sandals, much like the ones that the other Akatsuki members wore, trying to pull them down, being a bit too short and unable to reach.

Sasori laughed, "Alright, alright…" He said, instructing the boy to sit down on a small seat in the store as he knelt down, pushing them onto his feet. "How do they feel?" He asked, grinning at the boys' reaction.

Deidara jumped down, immediately walking in them, "Good, un! I like them!" Sasori slowly stood up again, smiling down at him, "Alright…We've got shoes down...Pants…Shirts…" He mumbled quietly to himself, "It is getting a little cold…I suppose we should probably try to find something more than just T-shirts though…" He finished, as he continued his search, finally finding a few decent hooded sweatshirts for the boy, one in which was almost a perfect match to the one he was wearing.

When they were finished, Sasori paid for the clothing, and led the boy into the nearest bathroom. He made a mental note that it was defiantly getting colder out, so he pulled one of the boys new hooded sweatshirts out, relieving him of the tangled mess of a shirt that he was wearing, and slipped it over his head, followed by his pants, then the new shoes.

Deidara smiled at the sudden warmth of his new clothes, immediately hugging Sasori. "Thank you, Sasori un…" He said as he was picked up, nuzzling his head happily into his shoulder.

Sasori laughed, ruffling the boys hair, "Anytime, kid." He said as they made their way out of the bathroom, hearing a low rumbling noise in the distance. Sasori blinked, looking down at the boy, "Hmm…Looks like we're going to have to cut this short, eh Deidara?" He asked, grinning. The sky was slowly losing its bright blue color, and was now turning a dull grey, which always meant rain. It seemed to have been raining a lot, lately…

Deidara jumped at a louder rumble, looking worriedly up at Sasori. Being inside during a thunderstorm was one thing, but being outside during one was absolutely crazy in his mind.

The red haired man smiled, "We'll be fine…" He said, as if he could read the boys mind. "It's just a little rain…It won't hurt you." He grinned, kissing his forehead again, "I won't let it, anyways." And with that, he pulled the boy closer, as if he was shielding him from some horrid monster, making their way back to the Lair.

Deidara clutched tightly to Sasori, shivering at the cool air rushing towards them, rain beginning to patter lightly on his face. Sasori looked up at the sky, "Hmm…" He said thoughtfully, "Okay…So we might get a little wet, nothing that we can't handle, right Dei-chan?" He grinned, trying to lighten the boys spirits up

Deidara nodded slowly, "R-Right, un." He replied back, still keeping his grip tight on Sasori, even if there hadn't been another rumble of thunder yet. A few minutes in, and he finally relaxed, looking back up at the sky, laughing quietly as the rain hit his face. Soon though, it began to pick up and it fell harder, causing the both of them to get soaked.

"Ahh…" Sasori said, "Scratch that. So much for getting a little wet." He laughed, his red hair drenched, clinging to his face, completely forgetting about the hoods on their sweatshirts, not that they'd do either of them any good at the moment. "Although if we stay out here much longer, you're going to get sick."

Deidara looked up at him, "So, un?" He blinked, he was five, getting sick wasn't really on his list of things to worry about.

Sasori laughed, "I don't want you to get sick, Deidara. Being sick isn't any fun." He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand, "Besides…"

Deidara looked up at him, "Besides what, Sasori, un?" He asked.

He laughed.

"Tobi's going to lecture me as it is for keeping you out in the rain like this when we get home anyways…"
