Chapter 14:

Sasori was driving back to the base for Hidan's birthday party. Deidara was asleep in the passenger seat. Sasori sighed, 'thank Jashin he is asleep. He was really driving me crazy back there.' Sasori thought. He drove of the highway and turned to a dirt road. They were almost at their destination. 'Better wake him up.' Sasori thought before he shook the blond awake. Deidara flinched when Sasori shook him and he glared at Sasori.

"I'm sorry Dei, but we are almost there so you have to wake up." Sasori said as he returned his hand to the steering wheel. Deidara relaxed his muscles and turned in his chair.

"It's okay danna, you startled me and then I got offensive." Deidara answered. He leant in to kiss Sasori on the cheek.

"Alright apology accepted. But don't pull that stunt when we are in the base because I have to act uncaring then." Sasori said as he parked the car at the side of the road. Deidara looked depressed, he sighed and then nodded.

"Alright I'll try to stay calm, I don't want them to know. I really don't know what leader will do when he finds out." Deidara said. Sasori stroked the blond's hand mouth like he always does when Deidara is upset.

"It'll be okay Dei, he has to get past me to get to you. You know that right?" the redhead asked. Deidara nodded, then he changed his face to a happy one and jumped out of the car.

"Come on danna, hurry." Deidara yelled excitedly as he ran to the entrance of the cave. Sasori sighed and put on his emotionless face. He didn't like it that he had to pretend but it was for his blond, so he put up with it. He followed Deidara into the base and was greeted by a happy Konan.

"Hey glad to see that you two made it. How have you two been this past few days?" Konan asked as she walked over to them. Sasori didn't say anything and only stared at her.

"I feel a lot better thank you Konan. So tell me, what do I have to do?" Deidara asked. Konan hugged her friend and then turned to Sasori.

"I know you two have a lot going on and all but would you mind if I take Deidara with me. We have a lot to talk about and you would probably just think of it as annoying." Konan said not really friendly.

"Uh Konan, maybe you can be a bit nicer to danna. I mean we are going to get married you know." Deidara said before Sasori could give a reply. Konan hmmped and then turned around and walking off to the living room dragging Deidara along. Deidara looked back over his shoulder and smiled at his danna. He was standing with his arms crossed and his face emotionless.

"Don't make me wait, you know how much I dislike waiting, brat." Sasori called after them. Deidara nodded and then walked with Konan to the living room. Sasori walked to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of coffee. 'This is going to take a while.' Sasori thought as he sat down at the bar.

"Alright Dei, let's put the decorations up before Hidan and Kakuzu come back." Konan said, then she walked over to the bags on the table. Deidara followed her and helped her to put the decorations up.

"So tell me Dei, did you get some lately?" Konan asked.

"W-what?" Deidara answered a little shocked.

"Oh come on Dei, you have been alone with him for the last few days. Don't tell me you didn't do anything. I don't believe you even if you did tell me because you have this glow over you." Konan explained. Deidara laughed nervously and shook his head.

"I don't know what you are talking about Konan. Don't be silly I don't glow. That is something for girls." Deidara said as he hung the decoration on the lamp.

"Dei I was just teasing you, don't be mad."

"Alright, I'm not mad. Now about something else, do you know if Kakuzu and Hidan are still together?" Deidara asked suddenly.

"Huh, why are you asking that?" Konan asked confused.

"Well I wanted to know how Kakuzu reacted when he found out Hidan has only one testicle." Deidara said smiling. Konan started laughing.

"You mean Hidan has only one testicle. How do you know?" she asked.

"Well you see I've blown him up a little while ago."

"Yeah, you were so pissed. After he had destroyed that clay sculpture you made for Sasori's birthday." Konan said.

"Yes well he just had to break it when it was already hard. That's why I was so mad. But after I blew him up. He came to me and threatened to kill me because he couldn't find his other testicle. That is how I know he has only one." Deidara explained. Konan started laughing again but soon stopped and stared at Deidara.

"What! What are you looking at Konan? Is there something on my face?" Deidara asked confused. The blue haired woman shook her head.

"No I was just thinking how great it must be to be engaged. I mean, you have found someone who loves you for you. Not because of some stupid rules about honor or because you are pregnant and not married. If I think about my parents, they didn't marry out of love but because my mom was pregnant with me." Konan said depressed. Deidara nodded but now he was thinking about his own engagement.

"Well let's just finish up here. Danna will be mad if I take too long and besides Hidan and Kakuzu can be back any minute." Deidara said, then he turned to one of the last decorations.

"Oh Dei, you really need to lighten up. Just don't worry too much. Today we party till we drop and we can drink all the booze we can handle." Konan cheered. Deidara stopped and turned around.

"You mean Kakuzu spent money to buy booze for the party?" Deidara asked a little shocked.

"Yes he did and not just booze but also food and this decorations to." Konan said giggling.

"No way, why would he do that?" Deidara asked.

"Why do you think Dei. Hidan is celebrating his birthday and he is Kakuzu's lover after all." Konan said. Deidara nodded and quickly finished the decorating.

"Alright all done. Let's go see danna." Deidara cheered as he walked over to the kitchen.

Sasori was sitting at the bar, and talked to Itachi when he heard Deidara and Konan talking in the hallway. He was planning to lecture the blond about why you don't make people wait but when he saw his blond, who came at him, he forgot all about that. Deidara stepped into the kitchen and when he saw Sasori he raced over to him and hugged him. Sasori didn't respond and when the blond let him go he just stared at him. Deidara's eyes started to tear up but then he noticed the Uchiha in the kitchen.

"Hello Itachi." The blond said with venom in his voice.

"Hn." Was all the reaction the blond got. Then Itachi turned back to Sasori.

"Remember what I told you Sasori. You can't keep secrets from our leader you know. He will find out." Itachi said and then left. Deidara was confused. 'what was that all about. Did Itachi know about their baby?' the blond thought as he watched the weasel leave.

"Alright that was weird. So Sasori how is the mission going, since you have time to come back I assume it's going well." Konan asked the redhead. Sasori nodded and then he turned his attention back to Deidara.

"So did it go well with the decorating?" Sasori asked and then sipped his coffee. Deidara nodded and quickly kissed the redhead on the cheek.

"Let's go to the living room to wait for them to come home so we can party!" Konan yelled and then pulled the two along towards the living room. They sat down on the couch while Konan ran off to get the other members.

"I don't know danna, but it just seems like everybody already knows about our engagement. Do you think we have to announce it anymore?" Deidara asked as he looked outside. Sasori shrugged.

"We just have to tell them and then we will be going home again. The longer we stay here the more possibility there is off somebody finding out about you know." Sasori answered. Deidara nodded but kept on watching the window. Sasori took the blonds hand and gave a reassuring squeeze. Then suddenly Konan came racing in the living room followed by all the other members and leader sama.

"Quickly everybody hide!" the blue haired woman yelled. Everybody sighed and then took cover behind the couch.

"Why are we hiding anyway. It's not like Hidan doesn't already know we are here. Our car is parked outside." Deidara said to her.

"Shh. Maybe they won't notice. They have been together for the last two hours you know." Konan answered. Then everybody stayed quiet and waited for the immortals to return. Twenty minutes past but they were still not there.

"Were are those two. It's impolite to keep people waiting." Sasori grumbled.

"Danna, don't be so impatient. They will be here don't worry." Deidara said.

"As if you have room to talk. You are sometime even more impatient as me."

"Be quiet you two there they come." Konan shut them up before they could really be fighting and ruin everything. Itachi who sat beside them sighed and then looked back at the door. His eyes light up in a red color and then he nodded. He poked Kisame who laid beneath him so he wouldn't be spotted.

"Huh what is it Angel?" the shark asked sleepy.

"It's time." Was all the weasel said. Then everything went silent. They waited till they heard the immortals enter the living room.

"We're back you motherfuckers. Hey where are they Kakuzu?" Hidan yelled. He turned back to Kakuzu and in that moment everybody jumped up from behind the couch yelling "surprise." Hidan jumped and started yelling to them.

"It's so nice to see you again Hidan. I hope you had a good time." Deidara said clearly meaning the opposite. Hidan watched the blond laugh and then he raced forward.

"Yeah I really had a good time even if it was your fault if I couldn't anymore you know." Hidan said as he stopped in front of the blond. Deidara smiled and did a step back.

"What is it blondy. Are you afraid of me now?" Hidan asked mockingly.

"No, but you know you have a smelly breath."

"Why you little fucker." Hidan yelled and just when he jumped towards the blond he was captured by Kakuzu's threads and Sasori's chakra strings.

"Let me go. Let me kick his butt." Hidan yelled again.

"No Hidan, we are not going to fight today. Remember it's your birthday and I spent money to celebrate so you will not go fight and wreck everything." Kakuzu said. Hidan immediately stopped struggling.

"You remembered today is my birthday and did you really spent money on my behalf?" Hidan asked dumbstruck. Kakuzu nodded and then released the immortal.

"Alright everyone let's party." Konan yelled and then everybody started to talk and congratulate Hidan. Deidara stayed behind them all waiting until he could congratulate the immortal himself. He knew it wouldn't be wise to go into the mass right now. They didn't know about his fragile state and he didn't want them to know. Suddenly his hand was grabbed and he was being pulled towards Hidan.

"Don't worry Deidara, he is not going to attack you when you have a present." Konan said then she shoved the blond in front of Hidan. They watched each other for a moment but then shook hands.

"happy birthday Hidan. And I'm sorry about your testicle." Deidara said. Hidan nodded and then took their present. He quickly unwrapped it and smiled when he saw it.

"Whoa, a new knife set to perform my rituals. Thank you blondy." Hidan said.

"It's not from me alone. It's also from danna." Deidara said and then he walked away. Sasori also congratulated Hidan and wished him the best, then he followed the blond to the table with food.

"Hey Dei, are you hungry?" Sasori asked as he stood beside his blond. Deidara shook his head and sighed again.

"No not really, I'm a little nauseous, probably just stress off being here." the blond answered. then they heard a explosion and someone cursing. When they turned around to see what was going on Hidan came at Deidara with a murderous intend on his face. Sasori stepped in front of Deidara so Hidan couldn't reach him.

"You fucker, first you say you're sorry and then you give me a fucking bomb to blow me up again." Hidan yelled at them.

"What, I didn't give you a bomb. We just gave you a set of knives. I really don't know what you are talking about Hidan." Deidara said on the verge of tears.

"Oh so you don't know about the clay bird that was inside a other present with your name on it?" Hidan asked. Deidara shook his head, taking a step back.

"No and even if I did it, the sculpture wouldn't explode on its own. You know I need to make the hand signs to make it detonate. You can ask anyone in this room that I didn't made the hand signs." Deidara said. Hidan tried to struggle against the chakra strings but he couldn't break free.

"Alright even if I would believe you. How does a sculpture of you end up a present of mine?"

"Well I don't really know. The only explanation I can think of is that it was a sculpture left behind when danna and I went on the mission." Deidara answered, still a little scared. Suddenly they all heard a scream of anger.

"Sasori sempai, you need to let Hidan sempai go so he can take revenge on Deidara sempai since he blown Hidan sempai up." Tobi walked forward.

"Tobi, was it you who gave Hidan the sculpture?" Sasori asked. Tobi didn't answer, he only stared at his feet.

"Tobi, you answer the question and be honest." Konan commended. Tobi looked up at all the members and then slowly nodded.

"Yes I gave Hidan the present, but just so he would get his revenge on Deidara for blowing him up. They made up before Hidan could so I thought it was not good." Tobi explained. Sasori released Hidan but took hold of Tobi.

"So you wanted Hidan to hurt Deidara just because you thought it would be good?" Sasori asked in a threatening voice. Tobi shivered and tried to escape but it was no use. The chakra strings were too strong. Sasori pulled the boy closer till they were face to face.

"Let me make one thing very clear to you Madara. If I see you ever trying to hurt Deidara again, you won't life to tell the tale, you hear me?" Sasori said. Tobi nodded and then Sasori threw him across the room.

"Alright everyone let's all forget about all this and focus on the party." Konan said and then everybody relaxed again. Deidara saw Kisame standing alone so he went over there.

"Hey Kisame who is live treating you?" Deidara asked as he stopped in front of the shark. Kisame shrugged his shoulders.

"It's just the same as always nothing special." Kisame answered as he was looking for something. Deidara noticed this.

"Are you looking for something?"

"No not something, but someone." Kisame answered. Deidara put two and two together and also watched the room.

"So Itachi's not here, but he was just a minute ago." Deidara said.

"You think he was here but in fact he wasn't. What you saw was just a clone of him. Itachi is really still outside but he will be back soon. Our mission went on a little longer than expected so he sent me back with a clone so leader wouldn't find out." Kisame explained to the blond.

"Oh okay than I'll just go and talk to someone else alright?" Deidara asked. Kisame nodded, but then looked at him.

"Deidara something just caught my eye. What the hell are you wearing?" Kisame asked, horror in his voice.

"Huh oh this," Deidara said as he looked over his outfit. "My Akatsuki clothes were ruined yesterday by some enemy ninjas so I had to pick some of danna's old clothes to wear today." Deidara lied smoothly. Kisame nodded, still a bit horrified.

"Alright, be sure to pick up some new clothes than because you really don't look like yourself in those clothes." Kisame said then he turned back to searching the room. Deidara went around the room talking to the rest of the members until most of them were up to date about the mission and all. Then Sasori came to him and grabbed his hand. Before the blond could react Sasori had slipped the ring around his finger and asked for silence in the room.

"Excuse me for the interruption but I would like to make an announcement. As some of you may already know, I have fallen in love with Deidara. And since it has been about a year since we started going out as a couple I wanted to take things a bit farther. So last week while on the mission I proposed to Deidara and he said yes. To make it simple for all of you, we are now engaged." Sasori told them. The room was quiet for a little while but then they could hear all the cheers from the other members.

"Alright, if you two make it public so will I. Hidan and I are also getting married." Kakuzu yelled above the noise. Everyone was shocked at that but soon they were also congratulating the immortal couple. Suddenly the room was filled with excitement but not all were participating in that mood. Tobi who was just getting his drink, let it fall to the floor. His eyes started tearing up because they didn't get permission to get married but the other couples didn't even ask leader sama.

"No it's not fair. Why can they get married and I can't leader sama, tell me!" Tobi screamed. Everyone fell silent and watched as Tobi stared at leader. Nobody spoke and nobody dared moving.

"Tobi, listen to me. You are the only one who asked to get married. They all asked their partner without coming to me first. If they did, they would have got the same answer you got. Besides I never said you couldn't get married, I just said it would be difficult to find a marriage registrar willing to marry two man." Pein said.

"So if I said I already planned my wedding and we would have done it in secret you wouldn't mind." Tobi asked. Pein shook his head.

"It's your life so if you choose to get married I won't stop you. Just know that even if you are married you still work for me and you have to follow my orders." Pein said. Then everybody started cheering again.
