Chapter 6

"Sas-ori-dan-na!" Deidara whined.

'Oh for the love of...' Masago thought irritated. Sasori wouldn't give the time of day to Deidara, he just kept walking along in his small hunched state.

"Deidara-kun, what is the matter?" She asked.

Deidara turned and looked at her. "Sasori-danna wont let us fly to Kirigakure, and I hate walking un!"

She cocked an eyebrow. "You can... fly?"

His smile grew, "It is my art un! Watch this." Deidara said whilst he put his hands into his hip pouch and saw his palms.

"You have mouths on your palms!" She exclaimed

He smirked and said nothing, she watched as his mouths then spit out clay, and his fingers got to work on making something, whilst his other hand made a hand formation. Deidara then opened his hand flat and she could see a small clay bird, which he then threw into the air and it enlarged into a fully flying bird.

"Whoa, it is like alive."

"Hm, Sasori seams to have gotten quite ahead, lets catch up with him Masago-chan yeah." Deidara said while getting on the back of the bird and reaching a hand to her to help her onto the bird.

She was skeptical, but she took his hand, and before she knew it she was in the air.

"Whoa Masago-chan hang onto me as long as you want, yeah." Deidara said with a wink.

She scoffed, in which he replied with a laugh.

"Hey look there is my man!" He said whilst descending down to the ground. "Sasori get on man, we're not walking any more." Deidara said with a smile.

"Brat, what did I say-"

"Come on Sasori-danna we will just fly till dark and then set up camp, yeah! Then we'll get to Kirigakure by tomorrow afternoon!" Deidara retorted

Masago saw Sasori roll his eyes. "Fine, brat help me up."

Deidara let out a belly laugh, "Get up yourself hunch back!"

"WHAT WAS THAT, KID!" Sasori snarled

'Oh for Kami's sake' Masago thought whilst she lent a hand to Sasori.

"Masago-san if Deidara dies on this mission you will be my first pick for new partner, the brat is the type to die young anyway." Sasori said.

Masago was beyond irritated at this point."Fly Deidara!" She ordered.

The next few hours where silent, which Masago was grateful for, she was pretty sure Sasori was too, but Deidara, he seemed to be sulking.

"It is getting late, should we land Danna?" Deidara asked Sasori.

"Yeah."

Deidara landed in a secluded part of a forest. Then reached into his clay pockets and began moulding once more. Masago didn't watch what he made but turned around when she heard a loud poof sound. She was impressed, before her stood a large clay like house. Sasori had already made his way inside.

"Masago, are you going to stand and stare all night or are you coming in?" Deidara asked as he held the door open for her.

"This is really something Deidara-san." She said.

"Oh, back to formalities eh? And I thought we were becoming friends yeah?" He asked mocked hurt.

"Sorry Deidara-chan." She spoke whilst emphasising on the suffix.

Sasori then came into the hall, "I am going to rest, goodnight Masago-san, Brat." Sasori then went into what you guessed was his room.

"He loves you so much eh?" She said to Deidara.

"What? Gross! What?" Deidara stuttered.

"I was being sarcastic Dei-chan" She said with a wink.

"...Dei-chan?" He questioned.

"We're best buddies now Dei-Dei, remember?" She said with a smirk.

Deidara said nothing but went a shade of pink. 'Is he blushing?' She thought. She then looked around this shelter, there where three doors, three bedrooms she hoped...

"Hey Dei, which ones my room."

"Shit."

"What?"

"Well Masago I erm, forgot to put a spare room in... Its not what you think Its normally just me and Sasori you know yeah?" Deidara explained "The door at the top is the bathroom."

"Right well, whatever." She said as she walked into the room she would have to share with Deidara.

It was a plain room, nothing was in there, well you couldn't expect him to magic up furniture. Masago went to a corner of the room by the window, and set up a sleeping bag that was skilfully packed into her cloak by Konan. She laid down and without a word to Deidara she was asleep.

She awoke to the suns rays hitting her face, she got up, passed a snoring Deidara and used the bathroom at the end of the hall. She went back to the room to find Deidara awake. She muttered a morning and went to pack her stuff up. She then left the room to find Sasori ready to go.

"Where is the brat, be better not be still sleeping."

Masago went to answer him but Deidara got to him first.

"I am here old man lets go, yeah."

They all set out, the spy Ren was supposed to meet Sasori on a bridge in the forest. They discussed the situation whilst making their way towards the meeting point.

"Masago, you and I will go meet Ren on the bridge, it may be a trap or he may try something, so stay alert, Deidara as always you take to the sky." Sasori explained. "Have your sharingan activated before we get there, so it wont alarm him. Keep your hand on my back and if he is lying pat it."

"Right." She answered him.

"See you later, un!" Deidara said as he took off on a clay bird.

"Masago, Its time." Sasori said as they walked to the beginning of the bridge, in the far distance she could make out a figure at the other side of the bridge. They started to walk towards the centre until they met the hooded man halfway.

"Sasori-sama..." Ren spoke looking wearily at Masago.

"Ren-san, do not be alarmed by my partner, we are here in peace." Sasori spoke, "You know what I am here for, what information do you have regarding the Jinchuriki in Kirigakure."

"Sasori-sama from what I have heard it is the 6th tailed Slug demon." Ren said, as Masago noticed his heart rate racing before he added, "Other than that I am unaware of the vessel." Ren's eyes moved, he was lying, Masago tapped Sasori's back to tell him this.

"Really Ren?" Sasori cooed, "You're lying boy, and if you wish to keep your life I would start telling me what you know."

Ren stuttered, "It is a boy, nothing much is known about him, he became an outcast and is currently a missing nin, he goes by the name Utakata."

Sasori looked at Masago, she nodded her head, he was telling the truth.

"Anything else?" Sasori pressed the matter.

"Sources say that he is currently living in Tsuchigumo village." Ren said truthfully.

"I see, so that is all?" Sasori questioned.

"Yes Sasori-sama."

"Well, that is that then." Sasori said as he raised his hand.

You looked at him confused. But then a senbon flew out of his cloak and into Ren's chest, he instantly became breathless and stumbled over the side of the bridge into the fast flowing river below.

"Ah boy, Sasori-danna, he got the easy way out from your poison, hm?" Masago heard Deidara speak from above as he jumped down onto the bridge from his clay bird.

"Indeed. We have all the information we need, it is time to leave." Sasori stated as he turned around and walked back down the bridge.

"My, My, My Masago-chan he is in a great mood as always yeah?" Deidara chuckled.

She smiled at him, "Yeah..."

Deidara and Masago then followed Sasori, it was going to be a long walk back, Sasori was in a mood and didn't want to fly. In a few hours they will be setting up Deidara's clay house, until then, tedious walking.

'Oh great.'
