Well then, on with the story!

. . . . . . .

Deidara's POV

I had been waiting all night and I still couldn't hear! This was driving me crazy; how was I supposed to hear the sound of my beautiful explosions now!? What worried me the most was that I didn't know how long this would last; it was supposed to be temporary, but how long did temporary last? It could be days, or weeks, or months, or even years! How would I survive if it lasted years!?

I glanced over at Sasori danna to see him, smiling. He never smiled, not even once in the entire time I've been his partner. He had smirked, and scowled, and had even seemed shocked before, but had never smiled, and it was seriously creepy.

"Sasori-no-danna! Why are you smiling un!?" I screamed, shaking him. But all he did was knock me off and continue to smile. Oh great, he was actually enjoying this whole silence thing! Then again, he was always telling me to shut up. But I needed to stop him, this was just wrong!

"Someone help un! Sasori danna is smiling!" I began to shout as loud as I could over and over again. I was relieved when Konan came in; finally someone was here to help.

"Konan, danna is smiling! Make him stop!" I shouted as she walked up to me. Suddenly paper began to form around my face completely covering my mouth.

I glared and tried to scream at her but to no avail. Why won't anybody help me? Didn't anyone understand how hard it was to not hear and to see Sasori danna smile!? She smirked slightly before walking off, closing the door behind her. I turned around to see Sasori, still with that creepy smile on his face. This whole quiet thing might make me go insane sooner than I had originally thought….

Sasori's POV

This silence was one of the best things that had ever happened to me. Don't get me wrong, I wanted my hearing back eventually, but I might as well enjoy the peace and quiet while I have it. Because for once, I didn't have to listen to some annoying blonde brat ramble on about his so called art. I could finally relax in peace without interruptions. Although I was getting tired of just sitting here working on my puppets like I always did.

Maybe I should go for a walk or something, just to get out of the base for a while. I got up from my desk and walked out of the base. I began to walk down the path that led away from the base, enjoying the silence. But all of this silence began to make me think. Why do I like silence so much? I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I'm a puppet. Why did I turn myself into a puppet anyways? I always told everyone it was to become true and eternal art, but did I have another reason? It did eliminate most of those annoying emotion. But besides that, was it really worth turning myself into a puppet?

Just then I looked up to see a cart being pulled by a horse coming down the road not more than two feet away from me. I quickly jumped out of the way as the cart skidded to a halt.

The person driving the cart jumped out and started screaming at me.

"I can't hear you!" I shouted back at him. This only seemed to make him angrier as he his face got red and he walked closer to me. He was now right in my face screaming at me.

Scowling I punched him in the face, knocking back. I stared at him briefly to see if he'd get up before continuing my walk. Honestly, what's his problem? He should have been watching where he was going.

Now then where was I before being so rudely interrupted? Oh yeah, was turning myself into a puppet really worth it? Yeah, it was worth it.

Deidara's POV

I couldn't take this silence any longer! I needed to be able to hear; at least the sound of my beautiful explosions. But now that I was deaf I couldn't…

"That's it! I need to make a bomb so big and amazing that everyone can hear it! Even people all the way across the Five Great Nations, even those who are deaf! But how can I create something so big… I guess I have a lot of time to think about that; I better get started!"

Getting up from the sofa in the living room, I turned to run back to my room but almost bumped into Kisame on my way.

"What?" I asked; he was giving me a strange look. I shrugged before running down the hall to my room; it's not like I would have been able to hear his response anyway.

Everyone's POV

Kisame walked down the hallway with a slightly disturbed expression on his face. As he was walking he almost ran into Kakuzu.

"Kisame, what happened; did we lose money?" he asked.

"We might. I just saw Deidara talking to himself, something about making a large bomb," Kisame explained.

"I'll go make sure it doesn't cost us any money," Kakuzu said, walking down the hall. He was about to knock on the blonde's door before remembering he couldn't hear so he just went in. Kakuzu was about to try and ask him but stopped abruptly at what he saw.

"This is going to be so amazing. And not only will the blast be heard all over but everyone will see it too. But I need to make it big, bigger than my C3. Good thing I got extra clay earlier… This is going to be so cool!" he continued to mumble to himself before suddenly breaking into maniacal laughter. Kakuzu was about to just leave when Deidara, sensing the chakra in the room, suddenly stopped laughing and turned around to face him.

"What is it Kakuzu?" He asked.

"Uhh, nothing," he said slowly backing out before slamming the door behind him and running down the hallway to his room. There is definitely something wrong with that kid; I wonder if Sasori knows… Kakuzu wondered. Oh well, just as long as it doesn't cost me any money, Kakuzu thought, shrugging slightly.
