Chapter 18:

Sasori drove into the driveway and killed the engine. It was a long drive but he managed to dump the body where nobody could find it. Now he just wanted to shower and be with his blond. Sasori got out the car and started to walk to the front door when his eyes caught movement. His instinct told him to be careful. The redhead turned around and saw a man coming towards him. He was carrying a box and a clipboard.

"Hello, are you Mr. Akasuna?" the man asked.

"Who wants to know." Sasori answered.

"I'm sorry. I work for this transporting company and I had to deliver this package to a mister Akasuna." The delivery man answered. Sasori relaxed a little bit and nodded.

"Alright, if you would sign here please?" Sasori did what the man asked and took the package. The delivery man thanked him and then went back to his van. Sasori walked to the front door and got in. he expected the blond to be mad at him since he was gone much longer than he had meant for. But he didn't saw the blond. Sasori put the package down in the hall and went to the living room. He called for the blond but got no answer. Sasori quickly searched the house but still couldn't find the blond. He ended up in the kitchen and when he walked past the fridge he noticed a note. He pulled it down and read it.

Danna,

Don't worry, I'm just getting some groceries so I'll be back soon. If you would clean the bed I would be really happy. I have had a accident and now the bed is wet. I'm really sorry, I wanted to clean it myself but then I got hungry and then I noticed we don't have any melon any more. So I'm just getting some. Please don't be mad at me.

Love Deidara.

Sasori sighed. The blond could be so easily distracted. The redhead shook his head, throwing the note in the garbage he went to the bedroom and started to clean the room. He washed the sheets and mopped the floor. Then he got some clean sheets and made the bed. As if he didn't have enough to do as it is. When he was done with the room he went to his study and started with the preparation of his lectures for the next week. Sasori was so caught up in his work, he didn't notice he had been working for two hours. When he saw the time he quickly walked to the kitchen to get something to drink and to search for his blond. Sasori knew the blond could get distracted and then forget the time, but he was getting a little worried when the blond wasn't home yet. Sasori tried calling the blond but he didn't pick up. That was when the redhead became really worried and couldn't stay in the house. He had to go look for the blond. Sasori got his coat and went outside. He walked over to their car. A note underneath the wiper caught his eye. The redhead pulled it free and started to read.

We have Deidara.

If you want to get him back alive.

Come to the park where we first met in Suna.

Don't bother calling the cops, they only listen to me.

Sasori crumbled the note. He knew exactly who took his blond. The redhead closed his jacket, then started running towards the park.

"You'll pay for this Gaara." The redhead grumbled under his breath.

Sasori reached the park within fifteen minutes. He quickly searched for the blond but didn't see him anywhere. Just when he was ready to search someplace else there was a silhouette in the distance. Sasori waited till the man came closer so he could talk to him.

"What do you think you are doing?!" the redhead snapped as Gaara stopped in front of him.

"It seems we struck a nerve now isn't it Sasori. You didn't hesitate to kill Kankuro, so you have to be glad I'm giving you the chance to save your beloved." Gaara said bitterly.

"You get him back to me right now." Sasori demanded.

"I don't think so. Tamari told me something very disturbing and I don't really know if I believe what she said."

"I don't know what you are talking about." The redhead said.

"Oh really, well than you won't mind if we drop Deidara from that building." The kage said as he pointed at the two story house across the street. Sasori quickly turned around and watched as Deidara stood on the roof of the building with Tamari right beside him.

"Danna, don't let -." The blond screamed before he was cut off by a hand over him mouth. Sasori saw his blond was tied up and was being held very close to the edge of the roof. When Sasori tried to get to the blond Gaara quickly stepped in front of him.

"No you don't. we just want to know what happened so just tell us." The kage said.

"I don't have to tell you anything, but if you really want to know you have to release Deidara." Sasori answered. Gaara shook his head and then nodded. That's when Tamari pushed the blond over the edge. Sasori knew this was going to happen so he had summoned his puppet and positioned it so he would catch the blond. Deidara screamed as he fell and when the blond would have hit the pavement Sasori fell to his knees.

"Well even if he would have survived that fall you won't be becoming a father anytime soon." The kage said, then he turned around towards his sister and walked to the building. Sasori made his move and ran to the other side of the park, where his puppet was already waiting for him. Deidara was unconscious but he seemed fine. Sasori made sure the blond was safe and then went back to the kage and his sister.

"You know if you want to blackmail someone, you need to make sure he doesn't have anything up his sleeve." Sasori said as he stood behind the kage. He was searching for the blond but couldn't find him.

"You! How did you pull that off. I know I could safe him with my sand but you can't do something like that." Gaara said. The redhead shook his head.

"I have my methods, but to come back to your question. You want to know what happened to your brother? Then I will tell you under one condition, agreed?" Sasori said. Gaara's face stayed emotionless but Tamari nodded her head.

"What will your condition be?" the kage asked almost sounding bored.

"I want you to leave us the hell alone. If you don't, I will make sure Deidara is safe. I don't care what I have to do. Even if that means I have to fight you." Sasori said.

"I will leave you two alone as long as you don't do anything illegal." The kage agreed.

"Alright. Well I should tell you Kankuro was suddenly standing inside my house claiming it to be his. He hadn't seen me but he met with Deidara and just as you he had mistaken him for a girl. He started threatening Deidara and he went so far as to hurt him. When I heard Deidara scream I rushed to his side and Kankuro didn't even recognize me in the first place. He went so far as to throw a poisonous kunai at me and Deidara. Since he didn't know me special ability he thought he had killed me and didn't saw me throwing the same kunai back at him. I really didn't mean to kill him but he was not paying attention. The kunai hit him and the poison probably killed him." Sasori explained.

Gaara nodded but Tamari started screaming.

"You want me to believe Kankuro just attacked Deidara!" she yelled at Sasori. The redhead just stared at her with a blank face.

"Well I told you what happened so now I will go and you won't bother us anymore." Sasori said. Gaara nodded again and then Sasori walked away.

"Hold on, I'm not done with you yet. I won't believe any of what you say. Kankuro would never attack without reason." Tamari yelled. Sasori turned back around.

"So you mean to say I'm a liar. I'll tell you one more thing and then I don't want to see you bother us again." Sasori said as he watched Tamari fall to her knees and leaning against her younger brother.

"You will find his body in the desert, at about 40 km from the town's borders." Then the redhead turned around and walked through the park towards his blond.

Deidara was slowly waking up. 'I don't remember falling asleep, what happened?' the blond thought as he opened his eyes. He was startled when he was looking into the face of a puppet. The first thing the blond did was protect his stomach, but when he noticed the puppet didn't do anything he relaxed enough to really look at it. Then he saw the puppet looked familiar. The blond tried to get up but couldn't because the puppet had a tight grip on him. Just when he wanted to hit the puppet's head he heard someone approaching. The blond braced himself.

"Oh good, you're awake. I was worried." The blond immediately recognized the voice and relaxed. Sasori came into his field of vision and took the blond into his arms. The puppet that had been holding him disappeared.

"Danna, I'm so glad you found me. They didn't want to let me get back home before they could have you. I really didn't mean to get captured but when I was in the supermarket, they jumped me and dragged me to their house." Deidara said. He was trembling in the redheads arms.

"Shhh, it's okay Dei. You are safe now. Don't worry. They won't bother us again, unless I kill another citizen." The redhead said. He slowly put the blond back down on his feet but kept a arm around the blond's waist.

"Let's go home Dei." The redhead said as they started walking. Deidara only nodded feeling the adrenaline leave his body and making him feel a little weak. The blond flopped down on the couch as soon as they came back home.

"Danna. What is that package that is standing in the hallway?" The blond asked as Sasori sat down beside him.

"Oh that is just something I bought for the wedding." Sasori answered.

"What. Why didn't you tell me you were already planning our wedding. That is just not fair." The blond said displeased.

"Dei, don't get it the wrong way. I didn't buy that for our wedding. It is for the party. You know the wedding of Tobi and Zetsu." Sasori said with a sigh. He didn't know the blond would jump to conclusions like that.

"But if you want, we can begin with our preparations. I mean, we want to be married before the child is born right?" Sasori said. The blond started to blush and then nodded.

"Yes. I really don't want to get married with me being fat so we should be hurrying anyway."

"Alright, just wait here for a sec." the redhead said as he got up and walked out the room. A couple minutes later he returned with a laptop and a notebook.

"You must know I have been searching for a good wedding location but I wouldn't decide without knowing your opinion on the matter. So don't be mad." The redhead said, sitting down. The blond nodded and sat up straight. They watched the screen as Sasori showed the blond all the locations he found. Deidara wasn't impressed by any of them until they came across a site with a wide open space in a forest.

"Danna, I think that one is a nice place. It would be perfect for our wedding." The blond said bouncing in his seat.

"Alright Dei. The forest it is. There is only one problem. For us to get married, on must wear a dress because they don't support gay-marriage here in Suna." Sasori said. The redhead expected his blond to be complaining or at least to be mad but nothing like that happened.

"Okay danna, if that is what it takes. I'll wear a dress. But then it has to be the most beautiful dress everybody ever saw." The blond said. Sasori laughed at that. They kept making preparations until they went to bed.
