Coincience

"Sasori-kun... where are we going, un?"

Deidara sighed. They had being going for a while now. His feet were soar and he was hungry. And tired. This sucked.

"Sasori-kuuun..."

Sasori turned around, he hadn't said anything since they'd left the lake.

"Deidara-san, please continue walking, we'll soon reach our goal, I can promise you."

Sasori-kuns voice sounds different from before.

Suddenly they stopped.

They were standing in front of a house, a pretty big one.

Deidara inhaled quickly. This was…!

Umi's house!

"Sasori-kun… when you said "Umi", then, did you mean my Umi-chan, un? My friend Umi-chan?"

Sasori looked at him, with those tiredlooking eyes.

"I do notknow if you know her, but she's a threath to all of us. If she grew up while learning her unique skills to the max, she'll be very dangerous. We have to take care of her."

"Take care of, un? What do you mean with "take care of"?"

Sasori didn't answered, but started walking to the door into Umi's house. Then, he turned around.

"Deidara-san, please close your eyes for a minute. Whatever you may hear, or whatever may happen, do not open your eyes until I say that you can do so. Okay?"

"U-Un."

Deidara closed his eyes hard, and put his hands over them, just in case.

He could only hear sounds now. And the first one he heard, was a zapping sound and something that could be a huge… thing dropped on the ground.

He couldn't tell what Sasori was doing just by listening, but suddenyl there was a huge crash and Deidara was about to open his eyes, when Sasori shouted.

"Deidara-san! DO NOT OPEN YOUR EYES YET!"

Deidara really tried to keep them closed, but when he suddenly heard a lot of voices, he just couldn't resist to peek.

Through a little opening betewwn his fingers, he could see Sasori, holding astrange doll that was connected to him with blue strings.

Behind him was Umi's… wait a minute!

There was no house.

In stead, there was a lot of broken planks and ash. Umi-chan was facing Sasori – crying.

"You meanie! What… what did you do to my daddy and mommy?"

She pointed at her parents who was taken care of by some medical shinobi. The looks on the medical nins' faces told Deidara that there was no hope for Umi-chans parents.

Sasori was now going to attack, pointing his doll at Umi-chan.

"Sa-SASORI-KUN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO UMI-CHAN!!??"

Deidara forgot all about closing his eyes, he ran as fast as he could towards Sasori and Umi.

Sasori's eyes were filled with anger.

"Deidara-san! Please stay put and CLOSE YOUR EYES."

But Deidara shoook his head. "I don't want to, un!"

Umi stared at the two boys fighting. Then she kept her eyes fixed on Deidara.

"Dei-kun! I HATE YOU! Why did you burn down our house??"

"Wha…"

Deidara didn't believe his ears. It was Sasori who had done it..! Couldn't she see him? Why did she think that she was the one who had killed her parents and set her house on fire?

"Umi-chan. I haven't…"

"Shut up, Dei-kun!" She was now crying wild. "I thought we were friends! Even though you hurt me, I still like you, so why do you atatck us?"

Now other shinobi had gathered around the place. One of them took a hard grip on Deidaras neck.

"What do you think you're doing, kid?"

Deidara couldn't get loose. What to do now? He was captured, and everyone thought that he had set Umi's house on fire and killed her parents.

He could see his mother in the crowd. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, and her eyes were filled of disapointment.

Why didn't she help him? And why didn't they take any notice about Sasori?

Deidara turned around his head, only to see Sasori stare back at him.

"Sasori-kun, help me!"

"See?"

"What, un?"

"They caught you instead of me. You said that you loved your parents. Does this look like love to you? Look at them, they are just staring at you, they doesn't give a finger to help you! Deidara-san. This village doesn't like you, they fear and detest you, calling you "monster" behind your back. You have always felt it, haven't you? You don't fit in here. But I know a place where you'll fit. It's an… organization. I guess you could call it that. The members of that organization, are all peopl who did not fit in their villages. They all have special abilities, like you and me, Deidara. And they won't call you monster. If you'd like, you could join that organization. Will you?"

Deidaras head was spinning. Monster? Organization? Abilities? What WAS this? What did Sasori mean… were these villagers calling him "monster"? In fact, it wouldn't surprise him. Just look at them.

Pathetic little creatures, all bound to the Tsuchikage and the word of "shinobi". They did not see the important things in life. They were a bunch of blind fools who tried to capture him.

"Deidara is your name, right? You will be taken to prison for your acts tonight. To attack a person of the same village without further reason is a very serious crime, you'll have to understand that even if you're just a child." Said the guard that was still holding on to Deidaras neck.

"Shut up!" Deidara screamed suddenly "Shut up, shut up, shut up! Why do you arrest me, I haven't done anything, you pathetic fools..! Let go of me!"

But they were only holding on ot him harder.

"Even the likes of you should understand…"

"The likes of me, un!? What do you think I am, a monster?"

Enough. ENOUGH! Deidara did a sudden movement and got himself loose. His mind was blinded. It was true! All what Sasori had been saying was true!

In his anger he turned to Umi, while feeding his second mouth with clay.

"You. Don't you dare to call myself your friend,un. I'm sure you think I'm a monster too, eh?" Tears rolled down his cheeks now. "Well, tell youwhat, un. I really liked you, Umi-cha… Umi-san. But you're as false as tall the others, un!"

"Dei-kun! No, wai.."

But it was too late. Deidara threw the bomb at Umi and it created a bang and a huge cloud of smoke. At the same time, he could feel Sasoris hand claiming his, and he grabbed it.

Together they ran out of the village. Out of the Country of Earth and towards the eternal dawn – the Akatsuki.
