-One Month Later-
Deidara grumbled as his cell phone began to ring. He picked up his phone and pressed the green answer button. "Hello?" He grumbled into his phone.
"Blondie, we need you down here now!"
"Hidan do you know what time it is?"Deidara asked after he sat up and looked at the baby blue alarm clock that sat on his nightstand. 3 a.m.
"We've found another victim with the 'Mark'!"
"What!?"
"You heard me! Get down here now!"
"On my way!" Deidara hung up the phone and began putting on his jeans. He quickly grabbed his light grey sweatshirt and was out the door.
----
"Name: Himimori Wai. Age: 23. Died by: having all her blood drained from her body." Hidan read off the report.
"Also had the mark of the 'Red Sand' carved onto her back before her death." Itachi added in.
"I can't believe it. It's only been a month since his first murder." Deidara said referring to Sasori Akasuna. Since the night in the hospital, he's killed two dozen people, excluding Sakura. Each had his 'signature', a red scorpion, carved deeply into their back. 'He must like to make his self known.'
"Well that's that what you get when you have a psycho vampire on the loose." Hidan yawned and leaned against the building that lay next to the dead female.
"We don't know if he truly is a vampire Hidan." Deidara said in an annoyed tone.
"What else could it be? Akasuna's saliva is all around the puncture and the carving knife is way too thick to make that small of a hole."
'The knife…that's right.' Sasori always left the carving utensil in his victim's hand. "Itachi, what do you think?"
"I don't really know what say. From the evidence…"
Deidara was about to reply when his phone began to ring again. He pulled it out of his jean pocket and looked at the screen. He didn't recognize the number.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Deidara." A velvet voice reached his ear.
"May I ask who I'm talking to?" Hidan and Itachi looked at Deidara.
"Why don't you believe your friends?"
"What do you mean?"
"You shouldn't let your fear of the supernatural get in the way of your job." The voice had a teasing air to it.
"Supernatural? What are you talking about? Who is this?!" Deidara began to get frantic. Itachi and Hidan went over to their friend and listened quietly to the conversation.
The voice on the other end chuckled. "Calm down, Dei-chan."
"No! I-…did you just call me 'Dei-chan'? Who are you?"
"Ask me more politely." Deidara was about to scream something along the lines of 'No way you fuckard', but Itachi shook his head and mouthed him to do as he was told. "Well…?"
"Can you…please, tell me who you are?" Deidara felt like throwing up.
"Depends. To your friend, I'm a vampire, but to you, well you know me as Sasori Akasuna."
Deidara could've dropped the phone in alarm. "A-Akasuna?"
Sasori chuckled over the phone. "Yes. I have to go now, but believe me, Dei-chan, we'll be in touch again."
"Wait!" Deidara shouted back.
"Yes?" Sasori said after awhile.
"Are…are you really a…vampire."
"Why Dei-chan! How'd you know?" Sasori asked with false excitement and hung up the phone.
"Deidara?" Hidan put a hand on Deidara's shoulder. "You okay?"
"The investigators will take over here for now. We need to get down to the police station and trace this call." Itachi cut in.
Hidan nodded and helped a still dazed Deidara into the car.
---
"We traced the call to…" Itachi looked over at the map of the city, trying to find the address. "Here."
Hidan looked at the map. "It's a residential area."
"We should get going." Deidara took his keys out of his pocket.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Hidan asked.
"Yah, I'm fine; the sooner we get him behind bars, the better off we'll be."
---
Hidan knocked on the door. "Hello? Is anyone home?" Nothing. He moved aside. Itachi walked up to the door and kicked it open. "That dick better be here, or you're seriously fucked."
Itachi rolled his eyes and walked into the town-house. Deidara fallowed with Hidan behind him.
The house branched off three ways, upstairs, out to the left which looked like a living room, and strait down the hall, past the stairs, leading to a dark, faded green door.
"I'll see what's through the door. Deidara, you want to check up stairs?" Itachi asked.
"Sure." The blonde nodded and began ascending up the stairs.
Hidan gave a worried glance to Itachi before going to the living room.
---
Deidara took out his gun and began going through the rooms. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing! All these rooms were empty not even a chair was in a single one. That is, until he got to the last room.
Deidara reached out to grab the handle and found it to be locked. He prepared to kick. Once the door flew open, a crazed old woman came out, lunging at him. He moved out of her way. The lady looked back at him for a second, and then ran down the stairs screaming. Deidara stood there shocked as he caught a glimpse of the woman's shoulder. Blood. It was drenched in blood!
"She got quite excited, now didn't she?"
Deidara felt himself tense up everywhere. He slowly turned back towards the room, and came to looking into a pair of dark brown eyes. The man before him wore a slim black tee shirt, black jeans, and a smirk.
"Sasori?" Deidara felt rage boil up in him.
"Correct Dei-chan." The redhead walked over to the blonde and stroked his cheek lightly. "Even more beautiful close up."
Deidara smacked his hand away. "Don't touch me!" Sasori reached out, trying to pull the blonde back to him, when a bullet went right over his arm. Both men looked over to where Itachi and Hidan stood. Itachi in particular, held his gun up ready to shoot a second bullet.
Sasori smiled and grabbed Deidara with lightning fast speed and held him so that the blonde's back was against his stomach; one hand held his waist and arms pinned down, while the other held his chin. "Well Dei-chan, I think this about wraps up our meeting. Till next time." With that, Sasori gave Deidara a tender, fiery kiss, and vanished.
I think this is my most favorite chapter of any story that I've written!!
