Deidara sat creating a clay model in his room, hearing Sasori go about with the woodsaw. "Danna, freaking quiet down, un." His eye twitched in aggravation. The stupid scorpion hadn't heard him. "Oi, danna! Shut up, un!" Again, that dumb puppet had not heard. That saw was too loud. But he heard the sawing stop, and Sasori sat down on his bed.
"Deidara, we have a visitor," he said, watching the closed door. "Come in."
The door opened, and Deidara looked back to see Konan step into the room. "Deidara, I need a word in private."
"There's nothing you'd need to say to me in private, un... it's only Sasori." He crossed his legs, eyeing Konan.
"Very well then. It may be awkward." She looked down at Deidara, and blankly asked, "did you sexually harass Hidan?"
Silence surrounded them, and the crickets started singing. Sasori stared at Deidara oddly. "Deidara?" he broke the silence, his arms limply falling by his sides.
"Hmm... maybe," Deidara smirked, leaning back in the chair. "What's it to you?"
"Anything that renders Hidan like this is serious, Deidara." Konan stared right through him.
"He'll whine a little and get over it, un," Deidara sighed. "It's the same with everything."
"You two have to make up, and that means he has to trust you." She looked over to Sasori. "A word, Sasori?"
"Of course." Sasori stood, glaring at Deidara with a subtle and fleeting 'up yours' hand symbol to Deidara. Deidara stook his tongue out at Sasori as Konan took the redhead out of the room.
Konan walked Sasori to a small office and sat across from him. "Sasori, this might be awkward for you. I would like to perform a trust exercise with Hidan and Deidara, but your and Kakuzu's co-operation will be needed on this."
"I dislike long-winded things," Sasori told her.
"Missions with the teams changed around a bit. Kakuzu and you, Deidara and Hidan." Sasori raised a wooden brow at the thought. "This way, Hidan may be able to regain trust in Deidara."
"So I'm to send my partner with the man he allegedly sexually harassed," Sasori answered. "I'm mad at him enough. If it's for the organisation, I have to, so do as you please."
"Thank you," Konan answered.
"But don't expect Kakuzu to agree so quickly." Konan closed her eyes hearing this.
"Yes, I know."
Sasori returned to his room, and Konan tried to work out a way to tell Kakuzu the plan.
