Now what you have all waited for. The grand rescue. To those who voted for not saving poor Deidara I apologise. Too many people wanted him to be saved. Besides I would have to end the story if Deidara died and then I would have no fun. And no fun is … well no fun is not funny.
"Okay, everybody. Now it is time for the plan: Save the puppeteer's blonde from the evil snake-guy, who also happens to look like an ass. Do you all know what you are supposed to do?"
One after one they nodded standing close together to keep the little warmth in their bodies. "Why the fuck does the fucking stupid plan has to have such a fucking stupid name? Why the fucks not call it rescue fucking blonde from the fucking snake?" Hidan said swinging his scythe around in a careless manner.
"We are wasting time. And wasting time is equal wasting money."
Sasori ignored the others complaining. He knew it was their way of telling that they were worried about the brat.
They were standing at the bridge where Sasuke claimed Deidara had been caught by Orochimaru. Near the place where he had tried to jump to end his own life. He glanced down at the water. A fall from this height would kill most people.
From where he stood he could see the warehouse that was supposed to be Orochimaru's headquarter and where his Deidara was kept.
He did not cry or try to voice his thoughts. That he had already done enough. For now he would concentrate on saving his Deidara.
"Are you okay?" A hand touched his arm and he looked at Konan who was watching him with worried eyes. "I will be as soon as we get him out of there. Who knows what those bastards have been doing to him? Before that I cannot rest."
The blue-haired girl nodded and stepped away from him. Sasori licked his lips. He felt more nervous than he remembered ever feeling before.
"Let us get started. You all know what you are supposed to do. I will not accept a failure."
A little later
Sasori sneaked towards the old building together with Kisame and Itachi. Pein and Konan would try and sneak inside from the backside together with Zetsu and Tobi.
At the corner of the building they were supposed to get into they all stopped. In front of the entrance several of Orochimaru's people were standing guard.
"I hope Hidan and Kakuzu can do their job." Kisame said while he was looking around and trying to get a sight of the pair which was ordered to help them. "Hn."
"You are probably right. After all they are to do what they do most of the time. What can go wrong?"
As if they had heard them talking Sasori saw Hidan and Kakuzu walk out of nowhere. None of them were wearing their Akatsuki cloaks. There was no reason to alert the guards about their plan.
"I fucking tell you that Jashin will have your fucking soul the day you fucking die if you are not following him."
"I don't care about you or your stupid god. The only thing that matter is money. Has your god maybe made you rich? No, that is only something money can do. If you want to worship something it should be cash."
While they were bickering the pair moved towards the guards which had all the attention turned towards the two of them.
"Fucking fat ass over there. Have you seen the fucking light?" Sasori could not help but smirk when he saw the boy's face brighten in a red colour. He recognized the boy from Zetsu's description. He was one of those who had tried kidnapping Deidara the first time.
"Who are you calling fat? I am not fat. Take those words back before I make you." Hidan just laughed his anger towards Kakuzu seemed to be forgotten. "Fucking you. Because of Jashin I can take down any of you if I wanted to." The group stepped towards the two boys and away from the entrance.
"Say that again."
"Fucking, freaking fat ass can't you fucking hear what I am fucking saying to you? I am a follower of Jashin and none of you fucking non-believers are worthy to say his name."
"Ignore them. They are just a waste of money. Besides they are too stupid and weak to fight us."
With a roar of anger the group attacked the two boys. Sasori only stayed long enough to see Hidan swing his scythe to get as many as possible. "Feel Jashin's anger you fucking non-believers."
Without anyone noticing them Kisame, Itachi and Sasori listed inside the building and closed the door behind them. All this would be a waste if someone looked up and found that someone had entered.
Inside the building the sounds from the fight outside were muffled. Sasori and Kisame looked at Itachi who took the lead. None of them had ever been in there before but Sasuke had explained to his brother how to find his way around. Hopefully it would be enough for them to get to the blonde.
Walking in silence they walked through a cobweb of corridors. Nearly where they knew Deiara should be they meet with Konan, Pein, Zetsu and Tobi. For once the orange-masked boy was silent as if even he could feel that know was not the time to fool around.
Finally they stopped in front of the door they knew Deidara should be behind. To their surprise there was no guar, actually they had seen no one since they entered the building. And the key was hanging at the wall. Free for them to take.
His hands were shaking when he took the key down from the wall and put it in the keyhole. The door opened withuot a sound and Sasori found himself staring into a room which was dominated by darkness.
Slowly his eyes got accustomed to the missing light.
The room was not big. Just big enough to a single bed and a little space left to walk around. The only light came from windows placed way out of reach. There was one other door, probably leading to a bathroom or something like that.
The next thing he noticed was the smell. Sweat, dirt, blood and semen mixed together. Sasori felt his stomach protest and even Zetsu looked a little green in his face.
"Deidara?" It seemed like no one had been using the room for a very long time but he had to be sure.
A weak whimper sounded to his left somewhere in the dark near the bed. "Brat, are you in here. If so please answer me." This time he did not get any answer but Sasori hold no doubt any longer.
Stepping towards the bed his eyes travelled from one side of the room to another. Still not seeing anything he took another step and nearly tripped because his foot his something soft lying at the floor.
"What the… someone give me some light so I can see where I am going." He did not know why he had not thought of that before now. He had probably been too focused on finding his Deidara.
He heard the others move around behind him and several headlights were turned on and he could see much more than before. And he could not stop a gasp from leaving him when he glanced down at the floor.
What he had thought was a thing was a living human. At least he hoped it was alive. The long, blonde hair was matted with blood and dirt and tangled. They thin body was curled into a ball and the boy hold his arms over his head as if he was afraid that he would be hit.
Slowly he reached out to touché the blonde's shoulder gently. He was shocked to see that was not wearing a single piece of clothes. Instead bruises and wound seemed to cover every inch of his body in various colours.
The blonde uncurled even though it was clear he was in great pain. He got on his knees and spread his legs without even looking at them once. His thin arms were shaking while he tried to hinder himself in falling. Tears were running down his cheeks while he stared empty out in the room.
"Oh, my poor Deidara. What have they done to you?" Deiara turned hi head and Sasori watched as his eyes grew too wide to fit in his pale face. The body where he clearly could see the boy's ribs started shaking. From fear or because of the low temperature in the room he could not tell. A whimpering sound filled the room.
With a speed he would not had thought possible the brat crawled away from him and disappeared under the bed where he curled into a small ball and closed his eyes while he started mumbling incorrect words mixed with weird sounds no human should be able to make.
He heard someone sob behind him and figured t was Konan. Hopefully Pein would take care of her. In the moment he had more than enough to worry about.
"Come here Deidara. It is oaky. I am not going to hurt you." He lay down on his stomach and looked at the boy under the bed. When he reached out for the blonde he had to take his hand back when the blonde bit after him before getting further under the bed until he bumped against the wall.
Sasori sighed and turned towards the others without taking his eyes off of the scared blonde. "Care to give me a hand? He won't listen to me."
"Maybe sempai is hungry. Tobi sometimes gets like that when Tobi is hungry. Tobi will share some of his cookies with sempai but only if Sasori-sempai promises not to steal any of Tobi's cookies again."
They all watched as Tobi lay down next to Sasori and brought forth one of the cookies he had been rambling about. It looked a lot like the ones Sasori had shared with Deidara the night they had shared bed.
Slowly Tobi offered Deidara a cookie as if he was some kind of a animal that could easily be scared away. Maybe he was nothing more than that.
"Look sempai. Tobi has a cookie. Cookies are good. Tobi loves cookies." When Deidara did nothing but stare at them with his big, blue eyes Tobi sighed. "Tobi will eat cookie. Cookie is okay. See." True to his words Tobi ate the cookie. Every bite was closely followed by the boy under the bed.
When he had finished the cookie Tobi offered him a new one. All the time Deidara looked from the cookie to Tobi and back to the cookie again. It seemed like the blonde had forgotten all about the others in the room.
"Sempai can have the cookie but sempai has to come out from under the bed before he can have one."
So slowly that Sasori was not even sure it was happening Deidara crawled, inch for inch, out from his hiding place under the bed. None of them dared to move in case they scared the boy to move back under the bed where they would not be able to reach him. Sasori knew they had limited time. It was not to say when Orochimaru would come back. They had to get out of there before it happened.
Finally Deidara's frail looking fingers closed around the cookie and Sasori moved forward and grabbed the blonde around the wrist before he could seek protection under the bed.
"Sorry to say it but you are coming with us." The blonde tried to break free but Sasori did not let go of him. It was not hard. It shocked him how easily it was for him to keep Deidara from getting away. "Take it easy. We are not going to hurt you. Just relax. We are your friends."
Deidara shook his head so his hair was standing around him like a dirty cloud but not a sound left his mouth.
The puppeteer encircled the blonde and hugged him tightly into his body trying to share a little of his body warmth with the shaking boy. "Everything is going to be alright. I will be there for you. I am not going to leave you." Deidara did not calm down instead tears started roll down his cheeks.
As minutes passed Sasori felt the blonde relax in his arms. Something told him Deidara had not much energy and had succeeded in empty himself so he no longer could move around or protest. "That is right. There is absolutely nothing to fear now that I am here."
He nodded to Kisame who wrapped a way too big cloak around the shivering form before he took the blonde in his arms in bridal style. "The faster we get out of here the faster we can help him."
"We will stay." Sasori nodded to Pein and Konan who were standing close together. "There is a few things Konan and I have to do before we can leave. The rest of you will just have to continue without us. We will meet you all at home."
Leaving the pair behind in the room the group hurried back the same way they had come. Hopefully Hidan and Kakuzu were still occupying the guards. Otherwise it could be difficult sneaking out without being discovered.
Time after time Sasori glanced at Deidara who laid limp in Kisame's arms. The blonde was not asleep but neither did he seem to be aware of what was happening around him. His eyes were closed and he looked more dead than alive for the moment.
An arm was hanging free and moved in time with Kisame's movements. He looked so fragile. So easy to break. Unfortunately he was already broken. Hopefully they would be able to fix him in time being.
They reached the door to the outside in a matter of minutes and were all surprised by the sight that greeted them when they stepped outside.
The guards Kakuzu and Hidan had been supposed to distract were lying at the bloody ground, groaning and with wounds all over their bodies.
A little from the building Kakuzu and Hidan were waiting for them. None of them looked like someone who had just come out from a fight. Kakuzu was counting some cash while Hidan was busy cleaning his scythe from the remaining blood after the fight.
"Hn."
"Itachi wants to know what happened here. Leader-sama ordered you to distract them not attempt to kill them." They started walking and Sasori made sure to keep an eye on the blonde in Kisame's arms. Now that he had enough light he could not help but see how pale and sickly Deidara looked. The borrowed cloak was not enough to keep his lips from getting a weird blue colour reminding much of the nuance Kisame's skin had.
"It was not our fucking fault. Those fucker claimed that the great and mighty Jashin did not exist."
"And then they tried to steal my money so we."
"kicked their asses and."
"decided to steal their money instead."
"Hn."
"Oh."
Sasori rolled his eyes. One could trust the two of them to create troubles wherever they went. At least it did them good this time.
They continued walking until they reached Sasori's apartment which had been closes to the bridge. Without a word Sasori locked them inside. For once he was happy he lived alone. He did not have to deal with irrelevant questions.
Knowing what they had to do they spread and started preparing different things that was meant to help Deidara. Sasori could not help feeling slightly worried when he saw Zetsu and Tobi, followed by Hidan, head of to his kitchen. Maybe he would still have an apartment when they were finished in there.
He led the way to his bedroom and stepped aside so Kisame could place Deidara in the bed. At the nightstand everything that might be needed were placed.
Sasori sunk down in a chair where he was sure that he would not get in the way of the others. From there he could also watch as Kakuzu and Itachi started fixing Deidara who seemed to have fallen asleep. Either that or he was unconscious. He could not see a different.
The two boys worked for what seemed for hours and only spoke when they needed each others help with something. They washed Deidara's body and cleaned his wounds. Sasori watched from afar and even though he felt nausea he did not leave. Some of the wounds and marks on Deidara seemed to have been inflicted on him recently.
Sasori wanted nothing more than to find Orochimaru and pay back for all the things he had done towards Deidara. What ever Konan and Pein had planned he hoped they would leave a little to him so he also could get his revenge.
All was done as careful as possible. They did not want to cause him more pain than had already been inflicted upon him.
When it had gotten dark outside Itachi and Kakuzu were finished with bandaging the last of Deidara's wound. Now the blonde reminded him most of all of a mummy. Both looked ready to fall asleep where they were standing.
Sasori stood up and followed them out to the entre. "Thanks for the help. I will call you when he wakes up." Kakuzu nodded and gave him a little brown bottle with medicine. "Make sure he gets a cup of this when he wakes up. It should help against the pain he will feel without doubt."
The puppeteer nodded and for the first time in months he managed to smile. "Take care of yourself and thank for the help."
Tired to the bone Sasori made his way back to his room where Deidara was lying where he had left him. The blonde was breathing normal and seemed peaceful.
After undressing himself Sasori slid down under the covers to Deidara. For a long time he just laid still and watched the blonde who probably had no idea where he was.
"I swear I will make sure you will get healed. I won't lose you again. I love you Deidara." He placed a short butterfly kiss at the blonde's forehead before he lay down in the bed and closed his eyes. Sasori knew he needed his rest. When Deidara awoke he would have more than enough to do.

Wonder what happened to Orochimaru after Konan and Pein stayed behind? Here you get the answer.
The lair was seemed abandoned when Orochimaru arrived after school. When he walked through the corridor to the room where he held his prisoner he saw none of his followers who normally were luring around in the shadows. Maybe they were busy preparing to Christmas even though he could not understand why someone would waste time on such a thing.
Orochimaru frowned when he entered the room. Had he not locked the door when he had left this morning? He shook his head. It did not matter. After all the time he had succeeded in breaking the blonde. There was no way he would try to run. And even if he wanted to he would not be able to do so.
Orochimaru stopped grinning when the door closed behind him and the light was turned on. In front of him was the leader of Akatsuki, Pein, standing, leaning up against the bed where he had taken Deidara many times.
"What are you doing here? Where are my people?" Pein just smirked. "We came to get back what belongs to us." Orochimaru crossed his arms. "There is nothing that is yours in here so fuck of." Pein leaned forward, still smirking. "Now there is not because we have gotten him back and you are not going to lay a hand on him, ever again."
Orochimaru took a step back to create a little distance between himself and the leader of Akatsuki. He wondered where his people were. "Oh, it is not me you have to worry about. You made the mistake that you hurt one of my girlfriend's friends. Now you are going to pay the price."
A sound from behind made him turns around. From the shadows Konan stepped forward, grinning like there was no tomorrow. "No one ever hurts one of mine." The girl stopped and got a thoughtful look in her eyes before she continued. "I have always wondered if it is possible to castrate someone with paper cuts. It seems like now is the time that I find out."
In the corridors of the warehouse pain filled screams could be heard but no one was there to react up at them.
Don't worry. Even though Deidara has been saved the story will not end here. I still have things there needs to happens. Deidara has a long way of recovery, if he ever will recover, before I can end this story.
Please review and tell me what you think.
Next: Deidara wakes up and Sasori tries to give him a bath.
Now I will go to bed since it is late and I have to go to school tomorrow.
Until then.
