A rock was crushed into hundreds of tiny pieces.
Sasori was furious, absolutely furious; once again he had let Ari slip through his fingers. Both he and Deidara had failed to notice the clouds parting; they had then been unable to catch Ari as she plummeted towards the ground.
Another rock was crushed.
He and Ari had been friends; her older brother had been given the task of escorting Sasori and his team around Kohana, since they had arrived for the Chunnin exams two months early. Her older brother, Akio had to bring her on that particular mission, as her parents couldn't look after her. She was five and a half. While Akio had been training, Sasori had been landed with looking after her. She liked his puppets and poisons, so he let her watch him train. In the three months that he was there for the Chunnin exams, he had become her surrogate brother. Her actual brother didn't really care about her.
That went for her whole family, they hated her. Her father wasn't her birth father, her mother had been raped after a mission in Iwa had turned ugly, and she had refused to rid herself of the child saying,
'It wasn't her fault, she's just a child'
After she had been born they had found out about her wings and decided she was a demon, a child that should have never been born. Ari had grown up not knowing the love and warmth of a loving parent. Nobody was told of her wings, her mother was afraid of the family's reputation, her father refused to acknowledge her very existence.
Kohana was nestled right in the middle of the territory of an ancient demonic clan called Dais Irae. Kohana kept a member of the clan at all times as ransom, to make sure the village wasn't attacked and decimated by the clan. Once it was discovered that Ari had part of the demonic clan in her blood, she was locked away, soon after, the previous Dias Irae member, leapt off a cliff, refusing to be kept captive in that place. Sasori could understand why.
A rock exploded under the force of Sasori's anger.
Ari was anything but a demon, she was kind and caring, and Ari would do anything for those she cared about.
Inside the cave that Deidara and Sasori were sheltering in, Deidara was pacing angrily, his mind trying to think of how we hadn't noticed the clouds parting; yet again he was left without an answer. He could hear Sasori outside destroying the rocks in his anger. Deidara liked Ari; she was one of the few people in the world that understood the world. The way the wind blew that signified an oncoming storm, the chatter of birds that meant there was no danger.
He heard the loud crack of a rock being crushed by Sasori.
Deidara sighed; he couldn't think in this cave to many walls, too much like a cage, Deidara shuddered at the thought. He walked outside seeing Sasori he turned
"Danna, I'm going to see the layout of Kohana un" he called pulling a clay bird from his pocket.
Sasori turned around his eyes boring into Deidara's blue ones.
"Be careful brat, no mistakes this time" he stated, turning back around, his tail continuing to waver.
Deidara held his hands up, his fingers making the shinobi seal for 'ram'. With a poof of smoke, suddenly the once tiny bird was big enough for Deidara to sit on. He leapt onto it landing sure-footedly; forcing his chakra into the bird he forced it to flap its wings, with a great and powerful whoosh it rose into the sky.
