Dei: why do people always stare at you when you're walking down the street un?

Cause they have nothing better to do with their lives…

Saso: and because you are hot Dei.

That too.

Dei: I feel special un! Kari-chan doesn't own Naruto or anything else previously owned un!

Thanks Deidei!

Chapter 10: The truth.

Sasori woke up and looked around the room. Deidara was asleep in his bed. Sasori smiled as he looked at him. The blonde was snuggled into the covers, his blonde ears the only things peeking out from under them. He was glad that Deidara was now comfortable enough to let his ears and tail out whenever. He stroked one ear lightly and it twitched. Deidara snuggled deeper into the covers and Sasori chuckled softly. The blonde really was too cute sometimes.

This little moment of peace was ruined by Tobi barging into their room. "Sasori-sama!" Sasori lunged at the boy, smacking a hand over his mouth before he could wake Deidara up. "SHH!" Tobi nodded and the two walked out to the hall. "What is it Tobi? You know that Deidara hates it when you wake him up unless it's important."

"Well, I was thinking of going to the councilmen and asking them about Deidara-sempai." He said. Sasori looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?" "Well…no one really knows that much about Deidara-sempai. Where he came from and how he was chosen to be your guardian. Not even Deidara-sempai himself knows. So, I thought I'd ask the Councilmen and see what they know! I thought you might be interested too!" explained the boy with bright eyes. Sasori thought this over, and his curiosity over weighed anything else in his mind. "All right, let's go then." He said…

~In the Councilmen's Office~

"Prince Sasori, what brings you here?" asked Shuhan, the head Councilman. "Well, Tobi and I were wondering, can you tell us about Deidara?" asked the redheaded prince. Shuhan nodded, "If that is what you wish Sasori. I shall start at the beginning, of how Deidara came to be." He clapped his hands and a hologram of Two teenage boys, a redhead and a blonde, appeared. Had the redheaded one not had longer hair, Sasori would've sworn he was looking at himself and Deidara. Then He noticed that the blonde one had green eyes.

"This is your father, Lucifer, and Deidara's father, Atisuto, back when Atisuto had first met Deidara's mother. You see, Deidara thinks his parents gave him to your father's lab once he was born. The truth is…Deidara's parents were killed by werewolves." Sasori's eyes widened. "You see, Atisuto was the head of the wolf demons. At the time, the two types of wolves were at war. Like you and Deidara, Lucifer and Atisuto had been friends for most of their lives. Deidara's mother, Ai, had been a very powerful wolf demon, and she was very beautiful."

An image of a woman with long brown hair and sapphire eyes that matched Deidara's appeared. "Atisuto had fallen in love with her almost immediately. Lucifer had arranged for them to meet, and not three months later, they were married. Due to the war, they waited longer than your parents to decide to have a child. You know that though. Deidara is almost two years younger than you. Atisuto knew almost exactly how their fate was going to play out. Once he found out that Ai was pregnant, he went to Lucifer with a request. He made Lucifer swear that if anything were to happen to him and Ai, he would take care of Deidara. Lucifer had explained it wasn't possible. The devil could only take care of his own children. And that's when Atisuto came up with an idea."

The images faded, and a video began to play. It showed Atisuto walking into Lucifer's room. "Luci, please, I beg of you." He said, his voice identical to Deidara's. Sasori now knew why Deidara had called his father Luci. Like father like son. Lucifer was standing in front of a large window in a library. "Atisuto, do you know what you're getting your son into? No child has survived the surgery." Sasori stared at the image of his father, the voice so familiar to him now. Atisuto came in between Lucifer and the window, determination in his murky green eyes. "You think I don't know that? I watched the experiments Luci. I know how extremely dangerous it is. But I also know that you are the only person that can protect him. And the only way for you to be able to do that is if Deidara is chosen as Sasori's guardian." "You've already chosen a name for him? Deidara….hmm..Katsu Deidara…I like it." "Don't change the subject Luci."

Lucifer sighed, looking at his friend. His blood red eyes held a look of internal battle. "Ati…are you really willing to bargain Deidara's life?" "Even if I didn't…those monsters would find him and kill him. Please Luci…I'm asking you as your best friend, the person that has been your right hand ever since you were a child, please…promise me…" Atisuto's eyes got a pleading look in them. Lucifer stayed quiet a moment, deep in thought. "Fine…but only if something were to happen to you and Ai, Ati. If not, I'm not putting your son through that." Atisuto's eyes lit up at the reply. "Thank you Lucifer. It's good to know that Deidara will have a choice."

The video faded out. "A few months after that conversation," said Shuhan, "Deidara was born. When Deidara was not even two months, Lucifer got the visit he dreaded." Another video played. Lucifer was looking through some papers. Through the window of the study, Sasori saw that a storm was raging. LUCIFER! Lucifer's head shot up at the sound of a faint cry. He walked slowly to the window and his eyes widened. "Ati." He whispered as he opened the window and leaped through it. The scenery changed. The image showed the garden and werewolves (the kind you see in Underworld movies) as they pounced onto Atisuto. Lucifer made a slicing motion with his finger and the werewolves were thrown off of the blonde. Once the werewolves saw Lucifer, they fled.

Lucifer skidded to a stop next to Atisuto. "Ati. ATI!" the man opened his eyes a bit. Lucifer suddenly noticed the small bundle in his friend's arms. "Where's Ai, Ati." He asked as lightning flashed across the sky. "She's…gone…they…caught us off guard…" Atisuto said with struggle. Lucifer saw blood spreading from him. "Ati!" "It's too late Luci." Muttered the blonde man, "I knew…it was…the moment I realized that they had used…Moon Silk." Lucifer's eyes widened in shock. "No…" "Please Lucifer…you promised…" Atisuto shakily held out the bundle to Lucifer. Lucifer took the small child and looked into sapphire blue eyes.

"Thank you…Lu…ci…" Murky green eyes slowly closed."Ati, ATI!" Lightning hit the corpse and it vanished. "...good-bye my friend…" Lucifer said sadly. He looked down at the small blonde wolf demon. "Deidara…Your father worked so hard to get you here…" Tears started to roll down Lucifer's face as he stared into the wide blue eyes. "I have a feeling you saw everything…you'll probably grow up to hate werewolves, without ever knowing the reason…Let's get you inside…out of the rain…" he muttered as he got to his feet. As they were reaching the door, Lucifer muttered, "I wish you a long life Deidara. So don't make me foolish for wishing it…"

The video ended and Shuhan sighed, "After that, Deidara was taken to the lab. He went through surgery Sasori. This surgery was to put some of your DNA into him. He was crafted into your other half." "My…other half?" "Yes. That is how the guardian process works. At least, that's how Lucifer wanted it for you. Lucifer need your guardian to be your age, due to the fact that your mother had left him, not wanting you to grow up in this world. He needed someone that could be around you without your mother being suspicious about it. But, until Deidara, no child had survived the surgery. Lucifer didn't have much hope…but he had made a promise to Atisuto. He was amazed when Deidara came out of the experiment unscratched. He raised him until he was five, training him, testing him…and watching as he became more and more like Atisuto. I believe that Lucifer held affection towards Deidara as an uncle would have."

Sasori could sense someone outside the door. Deidara was listening. But how long had he been out there? "The only test Deidara had left, was meeting you." Stated Shuhan, "Tell us Sasori, what was your first reaction to Deidara?" Sasori thought, "Hmm…I thought he seemed interesting. A kid that was supposed to be in pre-kinder, was in first grade. It interested me." "And what about when he introduced himself?"

Sasori remembered that. Hello there Sasori-no-danna. My name is Katsu Deidara. Do you mind if I sit with you un? Sasori had never had friends before Deidara. All of the other kids had avoided him. But this little kid was talking to him. "I found it weird, but comforting." He said. "Deidara was trained at the training Zone until he was six. A year after Lucifer was sure you and him would never be apart." A video of a small Deidara started to play.

Two adult vampires lunged at the boy, claws ready to dig into his neck. Sasori noticed that Deidara had a blindfold on. The blonde's wolf ear appeared and perked up. He leaped into the air and onto one of the vampire's head, kicking it with extreme force into the ground. When the other one turned and went to grab him, Deidara's small claws appeared and he slashed at the man's face. The man hissed in pain and went at him again. Deidara jumped up and punched the man in the jaw, sending him staggering into the ground.

"Deidara." The blonde quickly pulled off the blindfold and ran over to Lucifer. "Yes Luci?" Sasori smiled at the voice. Deidara sounded like a little chibi. "Today is your last day coming here. You know far more than any person here. Starting tomorrow, you will only leave Sasori's side when you should be home. When HE'S at home. Understood?" Lucifer ruffled Deidara's blonde hair. "Of course Luci! Whatever you say!" Deidara flashed that adorable smile…

And the video stopped. "Lucifer would get a status report every day from Deidara. He would watch the two of you from a distance and smile. Obviously reminded of his childhood with Atisuto. When he noticed that Hades was sending more and more people after you, he sent Itachi, not knowing the boy was a traitor. When he saw that Deidara didn't seem comfortable around Itachi, he found Tobi. When he saw that your mother had noticed him around, he created the pendants. And that was when he started to train you using the Yume project. And that is all that happened until his death. That is all we know of Katsu Deidara."

Sasori nodded…

~Outside~

"Hey Dei" said Sasori as he met Deidara's sapphire eyes. "Hey Sasori-no-danna un." He said, flashing the smile that Sasori loved so much. He was in the library, looking through the same window Lucifer had been looking through in the video. "You heard everything?" asked the redhead. Deidara nodded, his smile fading. "I wonder…" "Why my dad never told you?" "Yea." "I don't know. I'm not him." Deidara laughed, "Nope, you're Sasori-no-danna. My best friend un." Sasori smiled and thought of something. (My other half…) "Let's get something to eat." Said Deidara as he headed for the door. Sasori wondered if Deidara was really ok…

(A/n) There a little of the past for you! XD. I was actually listening to Despair from the Naruto Shippuden Soundtrack and Requiem For the Lost from the Bleach Soundtrack throughout this whole chappie! It help set the mood for when Atisuto died…poor Dei…

Dei: Why me un?

Saso: Cuz, they know what happened to my parents.

Dei: True un.

Heh. R&R! Flames to be used on the Werewolves that killed Deidei's parents!
