But now he was.
Kakashi climbed the cliff. With Itachi strapped to his front, Tobi strapped to his side, and Deidara strapped to his back.
And Itachi was shaking enough to make them all quiver.
"Stop shaking UN!" Yelled the blonde man.
"Princess can't help it! He's scared a heights!" The orange masked boy retorted.
"maaa... Pardon me?" The silver hair man interrupted.
"What now un?"
"The man's climbing the rope as well."
"No way!"
"Unbelieveable un!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Believe it!" Haku yelled
Zabuza's eye twitched. "That's it. You can't hang out with that kyuubi kid anymore."
"Aawwwwww..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The group reached the top and threw Itachi to the ground, where he lay motionless. He could move if he wanted, but...he was numb.
He watched emotionlessly as Deidara pulled a dagger and cut the rope.
The three kidnappers gathered around the edge and looked over.
"He's still climbing! Go Man GO!" Tobi cheered.
"BAKA!!!" Yelled Deidara "We WANT him to DIE!"
"B-but he's after the Princess! It's Romantic!"
"Yes it is rather touching." Kakashi put in his two cents.
"AH!! You two are insane!" Screeched Deidara. the blond man walked over towards Itachi and grabbed him by the waist and hoisted him over his shoulder. "Come Kakashi, we're leaving Un."
"But what about Tobi! Tobi's been a good boy!"
"No Tobi, You have not been a good boy Un, good boys don't kidnap princesses, or asssist in killing them!" Yelled the blond.
Tobi fell to his knees and started shaking, and if you listened close enough you could hear him sob softly under his mask.
Deidara how ever was not touched or emotoinally distraght by this. "Tobi CAN be a good boy in my eyes...if you do what I ask of you un"
"H-how Deidara-sempai?"
"I want you to get rid of the man climbing up the cliff." Deidara Explained "If he falls fine un, if not. The sword. got it UN?"
"YES YES! TobiisagoodboyandTobiwillkilltheromanticmanevenifhewishedthattheromanticmanwasgonnalive'cuzTobiwantstotalkwithhimabouthowtogetthepersonyouliketolikeyouback!" Yelled the hyperactive boy.
"...okay....un.." Blinked the blond man "Whatever that means." Than he turned and walked away with Kakashi, saying no goodbye to Tobi whatsoever.
once they where out of sight Tobi's shoulders fell. "Bye bye Deidara-love" Than he straightened up and moved over to the side of the cliff. "Hello?"
"WHAT!?"
"Tobi askes if you can speed up..."
"Well tell Tobi that, No, I can't 'speed up'. I'm going as fast as I can." Growled Kisame.
"I'm Tobi. Tobi is also sorry, romantic man, becasue Tobi is only waiting around to kill you."
"How'd I guess?"
