This is a really short chapter so I decided to post it today cause I feel like it!

Chapter 12: The Hunt is On!

Naruto looked over at Sasuke from the kitchen table. "Do you live here alone?"

"Yes."

"But why?"

"You know why." Sauske had told Naruto all about Itachi and how he killed off his clan.

"I know, but can't you find someone to live with?" Naruto said quietly.

"I don't like anyone in this village, they are all morons."

"I know!" Naruto grinned. "I used to live here and everyone was always mean to me…"He got quiet again, darkness covering his eyes.

"I had no one either." Sasuke looked over at the smaller boy. There was something about him that made him different from anyone else he met, something special. With out realizing what he was doing Sasuke jumped off his chair and walked over to Naruto. Naruto looked up and the other 5 year old walking over.

Sasuke got close and rapped his arms around Naruto in a hug. Naruto was shocked but quickly hugged back. They stood there in silence, both basking in the fact that they were now not alone.

-X-

Sasori walked around the base looking for Deidara but he couldn't find him anywhere. Itachi had run off somewhere without Kisame's knowledge and now his own partner was missing!

He walked into his room and stopped. Deidara was sitting on his floor covered in cake and was now ripping apart the presents. "What are you doing Deidara?" Sasori asked cauously. Deidara looked up at Sasori with a small smile.

"Kaname isn't here so we don't need these anymore now do we!" Sasori nodded in shock. He acted like Kaname was not even needed anymore... he must be in dinial... stage one... crap, now I'm acting like a doctor. He thought with a sigh.

"Itachi went off somewhere, Kisame doesn't even know where he went." Sasori said casually as he walked over to his bed and sat down looking at his partner covered in cake.

"I know this stuff isn't needed, but did you have to make such a big mess?" Sasori asked. Deidara's eyes started to fill with tears, he looked down, shadow covering his face.

"I just m-miss him, thats all... I JUST WANT MY BABY BACK!" He cried and fell over in a heep. Sasori sighed and kneeled down by his crying partner.

"Well this isn't helping bring him back, crying like this will do nothing."

Deidara looked up with big puppy-dog eyes. "B-But what can I do, I feel like crap!" Sasori leaned against his bed.

"Well I can bet you anything that Itachi left to search for Kaname, why don't you try too?" He suggested. Deidara suddenly grinned.

"I'll do it!" He cried and stood up in a hero pose. "I will bring my baby back, no matter the cost!" With that said he ran out the door. Sasori looked around his messy room and called out.

"Not before you have a shower!" He heard a crash and shout.

"Yes, shower first then search!" He heard his partner yell back. Sasori got up and cracked his neck and arms.

"Okay, now that I got that baka out, I can finally work in peace..." He sat down at his desk but just sat there, not really feeling like doing anything. He looked down at his hands.

A flash back to Kaname's babysitting flew through his mind and he looked around at his puppets, remembering how he told all those stupid stories to the boy... Sasori got up and slumped over to the door. "That's it, I'm coming too!" He called out but Deidara was in the shower.

-X- (The of chapter)

Meanwhile: "Oh! Who wants to see Deidara in the shower!?" Sasori raises his hand and waves it around "Oh, Oh, me!" He shouted. Sterling runs into washroom with camera. "Say cheese!" With that Sterling flings open the shower and Deidara screams like a girl. "Ahhhh!!!!"

"Hehehehe, Black mail time." She said not noticing a dark shadow come up behind her. "Black mail you say?" Itachi says in a whisper. Sterling screams and jumps around. "Oh, its only you, god I thought you were Deidara coming to get back at me…" She sighed breathlessly. "What do you have there?" He asks and quickly yanks it out of her hand. "Hey! Stop that's mine!" She cries as Itachi walks away with it. Deidara runs down the hall, still in his towel. "Where is that girl!" He shouts. He turned a corner and ran over something, "Ahhhh." He screams as he falls face first into the floor. "What was that!?" He looked behind him and sees Sterling curled up in a ball looking upset. "Ha! Got you!" He said and jumped her. "Wait!" Sterling cried as she fell back with Deidara. "I don't have it anymore!" "What!?" "Ya, Itachi stool it!" Deidara blinked then got up slowly. "Shit." Was all he said before making a run for it down the hall. 'Itachi is evil, pure evil!' He skids to a stop at Itachi's door and opens it quietly. No one was there. "CRAP!" He banged the door shut and ran down to Sasori's room. What he sees next almost made him faint. Sasori was trading his picture with Itachi for 10 sticks of dango. "Whhhaaaa…." Deidara shouted and pointed at the two before fainting right there. Sasori looked over at his partner then back at the picture. He walked over to the trash and threw the picture in. "No use for that now." He said before ushering Itachi out who had a mouth full of dango. "Now that I have the real thing I don't need any pictures." He muttered before closing the door and dragging Deidara inside.

Muhahaha, sorry I just had to write that, the shower thing was too funny to be left alone.

This is a challenge I came up with just a minute ago:

Naruto screamed as the ceiling caved in a little bit on top of him and his grandpa. Fire surrounded them and there was no way out except the front door. He and his grandpa lived alone in a small cabin in the woods not to far away from the leaf and mist village. But somehow the house caught on fire and they were now trapped. His grandpa was out cold, he couldn't take the smoke. Now Naruto had to drag his grandpa out all by himself.He almost made it half way when the roof came down on them. He screamed and covered his grandpa's body with his own. Once all was quiet he moved the pieces off on them as best as he could but for some reason he couldn't' feel his left arm or right leg but the smoke was too thick for him to see.

Deidara and Sasori made their way through the forest, towards their base when they heard a distant scream. Deidara looked down at his danna who was looking in the direction with no emotion. "Do you want to check it out?" Deidara asked. Sasori sighed. "Might as well..." They went through the woods and got to a small clearing. Both pairs of eyes widened as they watched the roof of a burning house come down on whom ever was inside. They heard another scream and Deidara ran over to the door to see if he could see anyone. "Hello?" He called out through the smoke. "Is anyone alive in there?" Sasori came up behind his partner. "If anyone was dead do you think they would answer?" He said and rudely past his partner and threw up his shields before making his way into the burning house in his puppet.

Deidara quickly flowed and covered his mouth with his sleeve. "Help!" Someone shouted from in the house. Sasori looked around and saw two figures on the floor covered in rubble. Deidara ran around the flames and made his way to the figures. He saw a blonde boy and an old man. He reached out to grab the boy but his hand was knocked away. "Save my grandpa first-" He started to cough when he inhaled some smoke. Deidara growled, the man looked dead, why save him? But he picked the old man up and carried him to the door. "You get the boy." He said as he walked past Sasori. Sasori sighed and rolled over the flames like it was nothing. When he came to stop at the boy he almost gasped at the blood that was around him. The boy was covered in it! "Please-" He started to cough again. Sasori's tail rapped around the boy waist and he carried him over the flames and out the door noting the fact that the boy was missing a arm and there was a huge stick going through the boys leg. Naruto was laid down in the grass and he coughed a bit more. He couldn't feel his arm and now his leg was numb. He closed his eyes and blacked out. Deidara leaned over the old man and felt around for a pulse. After a minute or so he gave up, the man was dead. Sasori stared at the boy, yes the boy was beautiful and yes he could probably fix him up but what would he do with him after? Leave him on the side of the road? Then an idea hit him. Deidara stood up slowly and looked at the burning house. "That sucks, un, to have your house burn down like that..." Sasori nodded but still was staring at the boy. Deidara looked over at his danna then at the boy. "What will you do with him, un?" He asked. Sasori rapped his tail around the boy again and started to move towards the base. "I'll fix him up." Deidara raised an eyebrow. "And?" "And, then he will be my human puppet." Deidara smirked. "Un."

Notes: "Human Puppet" means like maid, helper, etc.

It will be a Sasori/Naruto story

If you like it then you can write it or I will in the future...

Cheerios!
