Now, this is something thats been bugging me for a while, and I want someone to tell me the answer to this with their vote. What is the difference between Lemon and Lime? (in fic writing of course) I have never got what it is. Please, as a plea from your favourite author (:P) will someone answer this?

Peace out.

Itachi was starting to get angry now. Someone had disabled his alarm clock, meaning he had slept in until 12, and then he had discovered a distinct lack of blonde in his arms. Where the hell was Deidara?! After thoroughly searching his room and the adjoined bathroom, he had quickly dressed and made his way to the hall. Still nothing. He had told Deidara to come straight back to bed after his shower! He stormed into the living room area, stopping and looking round. Nothing again. "Has anyone see Deidara?" He spoke in a tone that clearly screamed 'don't fuck with me today'. Hidan looked round from the TV he and Kisame were watching with a frown.

"He's not fucking with you?"

"No." Itachi growled. "I haven't seen him since last night."

"Where the fuck is he then?"

"Uh…" They both looked at Kisame, who's eyes were glued to the TV. "Itachi I think I found him."

"What?" Itachi stormed over. "Where the hell is he?" He growled. Kisame just pointed at the glowing screen. Itachi followed his finger, freezing when he saw the image on the television. The banner rolling along the bottom read 'Deidara Yamanaka has been found!'

Itachi felt his entire body freeze up. He wouldn't have…would he? The image above the banner showed an empty podium, clearly waiting for some kind of press conference. He watched in stunned silence as two blonde men, a blonde girl and Deidara all trooped up onto the little stage. The men turned to Deidara, talking low to him. Deidara nodded, stepping up to the mic. The camera was put slightly higher as reporters all stood as one, talking at once to the blonde. Deidara held up his hand, silencing them all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank you all for your continued efforts to find me, un. I am please to be back." His voice flooded out of the TV set, filling the silent room. Someone held up a hand. "Yes?"

"Can you give us any clue as to the identity of your kidnappers?"

"Sadly I cannot. I was kept blindfolded most of the time, un, probably as a security measure." Another hand went up.

"So you think this was a professional job?"

"The authorities certainly seem to think so, but due to my lack of experience in this field, I can say nothing." Another hand went up, quite close to the camera. Itachi recognised the ring in an instant.

"I think the question we all want Mr Yamanaka, is 'is there any truth to the rumours of abuse from your father, Governor Yamanaka?'" Pein's cold voice said, although it was clearly smug as hell. If he didn't know Deidara better than that, Itachi would have said he didn't recognise the voice, but he knew he must of.

"That is a highly sensitive subject, un, but I feel compelled to put this subject at rest." Itachi held his breath, watching Deidara pause, looking over the crowd. "The rumours are sadly true." A gasp went up from around the room, and Deidara was suddenly pulled away from the microphone. Inoichi stepped up, clearly fuming.

"Sorry about that." He growled into the microphone. "My son has had a rather stressful time, and he obviously doesn't quite understand what he's saying." Hands went up around the room. Itachi nearly fell over.

"He actually fucking did it." Hidan breathed.

"I didn't think he would." Kisame murmured. Itachi stayed silent. He simply could bring himself to say anything right then.

xoxoxox

Deidara was pulled away from the stage by his sister, who hugged him tightly. "You are so brave." She whispered. He knew what she meant. No matter how much he and his siblings had wanted to say something, none of them ever had.

"But so stupid." Naruto growled. Deidara looked up at his brother, who was looking down at him with concern. "Me and Ino are out already Dei, but you still have to go back home later! How the hell do you think he's going to react?!"

"I…" Deidara hadn't thought of this. Apparently neither had Pein. He knew he would never intentionally put him in danger.

"We can't let him go back now!" Ino gasped, clutching Deidara tightly to her.

"Ack! Ino! Air!" Deidara gasped. Ino loosed her hold, but only slightly.

"Naruto, we really can't let Deidara go it alone."

"I know Ino." Naruto sighed, running his fingers through his hair. It was a habit he had, and would always do it whenever frustrated. "But we don't have anything to take him away on."

"But he just said! He just said what father did!" They were talking about him like he wasn't there. They always did. He was a lot younger than the both of them, so they had become used to treating him like he couldn't understand them, like a little baby.

"But nothing has been proved. We need proof." A thought struck Deidara.

"We can get proof, un."

"How?" Ino asked, looking down at him.

"Like you said, tonight he's going to freak out, un, so we can get it then!"

"No." Naruto growled. Deidara was reminded of Itachi. "You aint going back there unprotected."

"We don't have a choice." Deidara shook his head. His time with Itachi, Hidan and Kisame had given him a habit of getting right to the point. He knew he was right. "No one wants to move in without solid proof! If we can get a video of him doing it, then they will because he can't go against that!" Deidara looked up with imploring eyes. "You can wait outside and come in and stop him after a while, but we just need proof." Naruto sighed in defeat.

"Fine." He growled. "Tell me what to do."

oxoxoxo

Itachi grabbed Pein by the coat the second he walked through the door, slamming him into the wall. Hidan and Kisame were standing in the doorway, both looking at him like he was insane. And he probably was heading that way considering he had just attacked Pein. He had just smashed up most of the living room area just now, simply because he was so furious with Deidara. He had only just got back, and nowhe was going of being fucking stupid again! And he knew who had put that idea in his mind. "What the fuck did you do?!" He growled in fury.

"I did nothing." Pein seemed perfectly at ease with being up by the throat. "I merely complied with his wishes."

"You shouldn't have done it." He growled. "You shouldn't have let him!" Itachi was shouting now. "Why did you let him?! He's just a kid!"

"He is willing to do what it takes." Pein grabbed both his hands, somehow twisting his balled fists round. Itachi let out a small gasp, falling onto his knees as his wrists were twisted to the point of almost breaking. "Do not exist under the delusion you are the one who is concerned for him, but it is out of my hands now." Itachi tried to pull away as the pain spiked through his nerves. "We can do nothing." He released Itachi's wrists. The Uchiha rubbed his wrists, glaring up at him. He was in pain, in more ways than one. His Deidara was gone, his wrists hurt like hell, and he had been humiliated. Pein stepped past him. "No one is to contact him until I give express permission. We cannot jeopardize this."

"What?!"

"That's not fucking fair!"

"No arguments." Pein snapped. Itachi glared, watching Pein breeze to his office. He hated that man right now. He wanted his Deidara back.

Now, options are a tad thin on the ground, as I'm not even sure what I want to happen. I'm giving you two, one of which is quite serious, the other of which is a normal one. We'll get the serious one over with now.

Do you want me to carry this on for another arc?

1) YES! WE LOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOU! We want more adventures for the favourite couple!

2) NO! TOOOOO FAAAAAAAR! It's been swell, but the swellings gone down, so give us a good end and have done with it!

Okay, your second one is what is going to happen in the main body of the next chap?

1) Deidara at home and exposing the bastard! (This might be a little heart breaking for the DeiDei superfans, as we'll have all sad things about Deidara's childhood)

2) Itachi trying to get to Deidara! (We will meet Kisame's g/f on the way with this one)

3) Pein reminising again! (We'll find out about Konan here!)
