CHAPTER 3

The road to the place that would be their home was long and dull. They was walking in a new land, and they both walked in silence. When they finally reached the store that they was going to use as and get information about the drugs. An old man gave them the key and told them about what they was going to sell and for what prices and showed them a list for items to be ordered. The store was on the first floor with a small kitchen and two large storerooms. One of the rooms would be Sasoris new workshop for the next three months. A stair was going up and on the second floor. There was two big bedrooms and one of them had a toilet and a shower. The other room was just a simple bedroom and there was a bathroom in the middle of the room with a washing machine and a dryer. Deidara got the bedroom with the bathroom since Satori did not need it, and he would be down in the storeroom most of the time.

The old man said good bye and when he was far away Deidara let out a big sigh.

- Man i thought that old man would be here the whole time. He sat down on a chair and placed his feet on the counter.

- Brat did a monkey raise you? Satori hit the feet that was on the counter with a log piece.

- DAMN THAT HURT, UN! One of his toes got hit, and he almost fell backwards when he got hit.

- BRAT WE ONLY BORROW THIS STORE! TRY TO ACT MATURE! Satori let out a sigh and told him that he would be doing an inventory before they opened the next day.

When Sasori walked away Deidara decided to fill the pantry with the food that he bought a few hours before they got there. Soon the kitchen cabinets was filled with instant ramen, fruits, bread and different condiments. He placed a big bag of rice on top of the kitchen counter and then placed vegetables in the fridge.

- Now what to do, un. He took his bag and walked upstairs to his bedroom and placed his clothes in the wardrobe and the in the big bureau. After that he laid on his back on the big bed and closed his eyes.

It was silent outside and it was a welcome silence for him. He was thinking about the last few weeks and about what he had been through. First he turned into a girl, and then he had the best sex in his life with a total stranger, they had been like rabbits in heat. "Romanow" the name escaped his lips, and he began to blush when he thought about his tounge and hands over his body. His body began to feel warm, and he laid on his side and memories of the night was dancing in his memories. A hand was covering his mouth, he needed to be quiet when he entered the fantasy land. Sasori was looking at the seeds that was going to be sold, and he was watching the list with the pre-ordered items and what farmer had placed what order. Like Deidara he enjoyed the silence that was both outside and inside the store, he could hear his own thoughts, and he could think again.

"Finally some peace " He found a sturdy wooden log of a tree that he had been looking after. It was a rare tree species that was almost extinct, and he was happy to finally to begin with his new piece of art. He began to carve the log carefully and the hours flew by, when he saw the time it was way over midnight. He decided to take a break and walked up the stairs and saw Deidara in deep sleep. He was laying on the side and had his back in the hall, Satori took a blanket that was hanging over a chair and placed it over the sleeping boy. "He is like a child" he walked out from the room and closed the door behind him.

The next day Deidara felt relaxed, and he slept like a log the whole night. When he came down to the kitchen he could hear Satori use a sandpaper to fix the rough edges of the carves on the log.

- Sasori are you there, un? He let out a yawn and walked into the room and saw how Satori was concentrating on the log.

- Mmm. He did not turn around and just gave a short answer.

- So how was the night, un? He stood behind Satori and saw that he took a sandpaper and began to grind the wood.

- Before i answer that we need some rules for this mission Deidara. Sasori did not look at his partner, but he heard him let out a big sigh.

- What kind of rules, un? He had hoped to explore the area and walk to the town at the weekends.

- Rule number one, do not go in to the town unless i give my permission. Sasori knew that he would be acting up about this.

- WHY? Why do i have to follow your orders? You are not the boss over me! He was so angry that he could feel the blood starting to boil.

-Kakuzu dont trust you enough to behave the time we are here, he told Pain that he only accept us on this missions as long as you follow my rules. He was about to speak when he heard an angry growling.

- What the hell does he have to do whit this, un? If he wants he could have taking this mission, un! He felt that he was treated as a child that was in the way.

Kakuzu dont trust that you can keep a low profile, and he dont want you to spread your legs when we are here. This mission is worth a lot of money and if there are a moment that reveals who we are or what we are doing the organization won't get a single ryo. We will get paid after the mission is done. Sasori would love to continue with what he was doing but that would only be a wish.

- IM NOT SPREADNG MY LEGS, UN! He felt insulted and the word man whore was echoing in his ears. He only had a little fun from time to time. And he was not into men at all, but somehow the others though that.

- Yes you are Deidara, there are times when i can smell you from a distance, and Pain told me that if you start to misbehave or i feel that i can't trust you on this mission i can send you back. Deidara became quiet, and he felt a cold shiver down his spine when he heard that Satori could send him back. He knew that he would be punished if he came back before the mission ended.

- I...i..i understand, un.. He looked down at the floor and wished that it was the last day that they would be there.

- Rule number two, we need to change our names and how we act. It's a rule from Pain, he wants us to be under the radar even if we are in the middle of nowhere. Since this mission is about drugs he wants us to be two different persons in case we get robbed or something.

Rule number three, if we are being robbed or similar we are not going to fight back, let the robber take everything and contact the informant.

-... When he heard rule number two he could feel Pains hands holding the back of his head and whisper about the habit of saying un after every sentence. He had let it slide when they where walking to the store and now it felt like Pain was there.

- The informant will send messages and. Satori was talking and heard how Deidara was walking to the stairs.

- Im taking a rest...un. He slapped himself mentally, he had done the one thing Pain hated the most. Even if it was not in the rule list made by him he knew what the acting part was about.

- We open tomorrow and i want to see you in your best behavior, and try to cover your hands when we work. We dont want anyone to get the wrong idea. Sasori knew from experience that when people saw the hands with the tounges people would flirt hard with Deidara and there was a lot of times when he followed the person that flirted with him and then be gone for hours. He did not need that type of behavior since they had to stay here for monts. He also knew that the owners was proud of their store and it had a good reputation, if that reputation was tarnished the organization would get in a lot of trouble.

When he got to his bedroom he walked to the bathroom and stared at himself in the mirror. He began to talk to himself and everytime he said the un word he had remind himself of what would happen.

"Its only for a short period of time, you can do this. You need to show them that they are wrong about you. Im not a man whore and i´m not spreading my legs, un! He hit himself hard and felt sad and judged by everyone. "I can do this...i just need to practice a little..."

The first month was tough for them both, they had a hard time to get adjusted to everything and when people came to the store they bought things in big bulks and placed large orders. Every time someone bought or sold something they needed to write it down in a book. They learned new things every week, and they also got tips from farmers on how to store different seeds, so they would not go bad. And when the second month came they both felt calmer when it was a lot of people in the store, and they had a system that made their life easier. They no longer had to stay open late after closing time to double check the buying and selling lists, and they also could do a fast inventory after they closed the shop.

Sasori had began to note that Deidara was not acting like himself, he could not put his finger on what it was. He was so used to the way Deidara was speaking, and he had not noticed that he began to use the word un less and less. It had been a natural change that he did not take a bigger notice on. He would have know about it if they where apart for three months but not now. He also saw a change in Deidaras eating habits, he would eat less and less and the times when he would eat he would add salt to everything.

- You will get sick if you eat more salt. Satori grabbed the small salt shaker in the table and was about to put it away. A hand grabbed his hand, and he could see two blue eyes that stared at him.

- Give me my salt back! Deidara was spitting out the words and both of them was angry at the other. Sasori was tired of Deidara, s behavior weeks ago, he wanted to send him back to the highquarters, so he could get a little peace the last three weeks of the mission.

Deidara´s temper and mood was bad because of weeks of nightmares. Two nights ago he though he was haunted in the middle of the night. He was woken up of a strange sound, when he had opened his eyes he saw a black shadow at the door. He tried to scream at the creature, and he had tried to sit up. His body was heavy, and he could not move a muscle and for each step the creature took the more and more he started to sweat. The words was stuck in his throat, and he could only blink and swallow. The creature was now only inches from his bed and the sweat was poring down when he felt something heavy on his stomach. His eyes wandered slowly from the creature that was almost at his bed, and then he saw a monster that was sitting on him. The monster had long claws on his small hands, and he saw how the monster started to draw small circles on his bare stomach. The nails was digging in his flesh a little deeper with each circle. His heart was pounding to fast and hard that he though it would jump out from the chest. For each heartbeat it would hurt more and more.

He felt something warm and a pain was going throw his body, he could not move or scream for his life. Now the demon was doing each circle faster and when the nails hit his intestines he was in so much pain that he wanted to vomit. Tears was flowing from his eyes and the black creature at his bed bent forward and now he could see the creatures face. It was a dark shadow face and it had no eyes, mouth or nose. It was just a black ball of shadows and the more they stared at eachother the creature was opening something that could resemble a mouth. He could see bloody strings and nails as the gap in the head got wider and wider. A rotten smell filled the room and drops of old blood hit his face and the only thing he could do was to pray. Dull needles was digging in his face, and he knew that he would die there in the dark.

A hard knock on his door made the creature and demon to go away. He was gasping for air, and he placed a hand over his heart to control the beating. Each heartbeat felt like a hard beating to his head. He took deep breaths and could feel how the contents in his stomach wanted to come up. A hand was quickly placed aver his mouth and rushed to the bathroom. He was standing on all four and everything he had eating the night before came up. The memories of the shadow creature flashed before his eyes, and he was puking harder.

- That is what too much salt does to your body. Sasori was standing in the doorway and looked the the blonde boy. He was not impressed of his partner, and he had a tone of arrogance in his voice.

- Shut up! Deidara stood on his knees and held the white ceramics bowl with his hands. He held the bowl so hard that his hands was turning white, and he tried to grasp of what just happened. His body was still in panic mode, and he wanted to run away to a safe place. Was the creature and the demon real or a dream? His mind was doing everything it could to avoid the question.

- Clean up this mess and take a shower, we open in two hours. Sasori´ s voice was filled with disgust and that made Deidara angry. " Fuck you too" he though to himself and stood up and placed the lid over the toilet and then pressed the flush button. After that he walked to the sink and saw a tired face in the mirror. His blue eyes had lost its spark and his skin looked gloomy, he tried to smile at his reflection. He felt sick and his stomach and throat began to hurt. "Smile and wave, smile and wave" it was the only thing he could think about, and he felt a little better after a warm shower. When he was done in the shower he looked at his mirror image again, and he saw a little more life in his eyes. There was a little sparkling in his eyes and when he brushed his teeth he felt much better. When he entered his room he put on new clothes and the sun was warm and welcoming, the bad dreams began to fade.

Afterwards he walked down to the kitchen and after eating a light breakfast he felt like himself again. Out of nowhere he got a broom in his hands and Sasori told him to sweep the floor in the store area meanwhile ha was filling the empty crates with different items. When it was time to open Deidara lifted the open sign and unlocked the store door and felt the warm sun on his face. The smells of the warm summer was in the air and a yellow butterfly flew by him. He walked a few meters and placed down the sign and walked back to the store. On his way back he saw the butterfly land on a blue flower that was in a flowerpot outside the store. He looked at it and the life seemed so much easier for a moment. The first two hours in the shop was slow and Sasori could maintain his wooden dolls and Deidara could write in the stock they had. Before it was lunch the store was filled with people, and they both had to work until it was time to close the store.

- GAH I NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY WOULD END! Deidara dropped the open sign store on the floor and closed and locked the door behind him. He also placed a black paper over the small window on the store door to mark the store was closed. After that he walked to the kitchen and sat down on a chair and raised his arms high in the air.

- You and me both. Sasori sat down at the opposite side of Deidara and was reading the selling and buying list. Every time they sold something they had to write what they sold and the cost of the item. It was okay if it only was two or four items but when it was more than seven it got more complicated and harder. When they bought something they had to write down whom the seller was, where the seller lived and how many of the item they was a list with items that the store owners was buying. If someone wanted to sell something that was not in the list they had to say no.

- This will take hours. Sasori let out a sigh and looked at all the goods that they had bought under the day.

- Kakuzu would love this mission. Deidara let out a loud yawn and placed his arms on the table and then rested his head on them.

- Mmmm... Sasori opened a crate with sunflower seeds and used a strainer to see if something was hidden in the crate.

- Another one? Deidara let out a new yawn and saw how Sasori took a little plastic bag from the strainer and placed it in a bowl that was on a scale. He wrote down the weight in a book and wrote down the seller on the crate.

- Mmmm. The first two months they had been there the smuggling had been low. But when people realized that the temporary staff did not report the drugs that they had hidden the smuggling had become more and more frequent.

- Man i m hungry. Deidara stood up and walked to the kitchen cabinet and opened it and looked at the things that was inside. He saw some instant ramen cups and started to fill a pot with water to boil.

- There are some vegetables that will spoil soon, you can take them if you want. Sasori opened another crate and heard how Deidara walked to the store area and took some tomatoes and a cucumber and a head of lettuce and made a salad. He took some salad dressing and put it over the salad and used salt on the top. When the ramen was done he felt sick by the smell. He wanted to gag and decided to take the salad as his dinner. When he was done he helped Sasori with the lists. When they where done with all the crates and lists the time was two in the morning before Deidara was lying in his bed. He did his best to stay awake, even if it was summer it was dark outside. The store was located in a valley and it was mountains around them. He could swear that the saw the shadows in the room dance on the walls, and he pulled the blanket over his head.

He spent the night tossing a turning and there where also times when he was grinding his teeth in his sleep. When it was time to get up Sasori had been calling Deidara four times before he decided to go to the second floor to wake him up. When he opened the door he was about to shout to wake him up, but when he saw the blanket on the floor and heard him mumbling in his sleep he decided to give him a few more hours to sleep. The two last weeks had been rough for them both, Deidara´s nightmares had become more and more intense, and he denied that he had problems. And he also had been eating less and less over the last two weeks. When he came back to the kitchen he was in deep thoughts. "He cant be, he is a guy...but what if..." he walked to the store window and wrote a note that they opened after lunch. He went to his working area and when he sat down he heard a faint sound of thunder outside. "Great a calm and slow day" days when it was raining the store was almost empty of costumers, and they both could take it slow.

When the time was twelve Deidara woke up by the smell of something, the intense smell of something burning made him nauseous, he placed a hand over his mouth and ran to the bathroom and was throwing up air and white mucus. "What the hell did i eat last night? Was the veggies that rotten?" When he was done he placed down the lid and pressed the flushing button. After that he got undress and took a long warm shower, the warm water made his stiff body more relaxed, and he could feel how he felt more tired. He wanted to crawl under the cold blanket and go back to sleep. When he was done in the shower he turned of the water and walked to the mirror over the sink. His face and hair was just two colored lips because of the steam. With one hand on the foggy mirror he swept the mirror and saw his tired eyes. He had a dark ring under each eye, and he felt like an old man, his body saw aching and the pressure from the teeth grinding began to increase. The jawbones was so stiff it was hard for him to open the mouth to brush his teeth.

When he was done he got dressed and tossed his clothes in the washing machine and started it. He let his long hair be loose and started to walk to the kitchen, the burring smell he felt earlier was almost gone and when sat down at the table Satori came in with an annoying look.

- What did you burn to make it smell so bad Satori? He was looking at the basked with fruits that was on the table in front of him.

- Did you smelled that? Now he raised an eyebrow and was almost sure of his suspect ions about Deidara.

- Yeah it was so bad i felt sick... he let out a yawn and placed his arms on the table and rested his head in them

- I was trying to make a new poison and a few of the components did not mix well. In one of the crates he had found tubes with liquids that was new to him. He thought he knew about all the different types of poison but the one he found was new and a well done man made liquid for making poisons stronger.

- About poisons and components, do you have anything that will make the jawbones to go numb? I can't take the pain any longer. In normal case he would both swear and more demanding when he needed medicines, but now he was just to tired and too much in pain. Satori was just looking at the lump of flesh half sleeping in the kitchen table and nodded slowly.

- Go back to bed and i will look for something. Satori had to make a new drug in case his sups ions was right. He could hear how Deidara was slowly walking up the stairs and then how he dragged his feet after him. "This will be an interesting year" he thought to himself when he started to make a drug for the blonde boy. Then he spent a long time to make sure that the drug he made would be safe to use, he added things to make Deidara fall in a deep sleep. He needed him to be the awake and alert the next day, a few hours earlier that was a knock on the door and outside there was a delivery guy telling Sasori that there would be a big delivery the next day. The rain was pouring down and the delivery was sensitive to water and a wet environment. The sun would be out the next day and that made Satori decide to close the store for this day and the day after.

When he was done with the drug and sure that the doses and ingredients he had put in was safe he went to the kitchen and filled a glass with water that he later used to mix with the drug ha had made. He also made two toasted bread with a thin layer of butter, he knew that Deidara had to eat something. He placed the bread on a plate and held the glass in one hand and held the plate in the other hand. and then he walked up the stairs. When he stood outside Deidaras door he opened the door that was slightly open whit one foot. He walked in and saw Deidara sleeping on the side with both arms at his belly. The face was twisted, and he was mumbling in his sleep. He placed the glass and the plate on a table in the room and then sat on his knees in front of the bed. He began to study the sleeping male as someone was study a new type of animal. "I'll better take notes from now on" he though to himself. Then he places a hand on the sleeping boy, s shoulder and slowly started to shake him awake.

- Uhmm..let met sleep...please... he opened his eyes and saw something dark red in the dark room.

- I have the drug you asked for and something to eat, the store is closed today and i need you tomorrow. There is a big order that will come in and i will let you take a day of today. He stood up and turned around and took the glass and the plate and walked back.

-I..i m...im not hungry... i feel sick...i think the veggies that i ate yesterday was bad... his usual arrogance and tough and demeanor attitude was gone, now he was just a lump of useless sad flesh.

- You need to eat something, like i said i need you tomorrow and i will toss the rest of the veggies out. He saw how Deidara swallowed the cold water in one sip and saw how he looked at the toast.

-... Ill...eat them later. Satori could fight to make him to eat but now was not the time, if Deidara slept for a few hours and got rid of the pain in his body he would be sure to eat later in the evening..

- I'll get you when it its time for dinner. He took the plate and turned around and walked out from the room. When he was outside he closed the door slowly, and he did not let his eyes go from Deidara. He was sleeping on his side again but this time his back was at the door and once again his arms was holding his stomach.

It was late in the evening when Deidara came down to the kitchen, he had a good sleep. There were no nightmares and the pain he had felt in his face and teeth was gone, and he began to feel like himself again.

- That thing you gave me, do you have more of it? He walked to the fridge and opened it and saw some left over porridge from the day before. He took it out and then began to look for a spoon before he sat down to eat.

- I'll give you more at breakfast, the effects should be in effect until then. Sasori sat down in front of him and opened a red notebook and started to write in it.

- A love letter? They both looked at eachother and Sasori had hoped that the joked would be gone for a few more days.

- No it's for tomorrow, there will be twenty-five boxes to open and look for contraband. He was looking at Deidara that got a gloom look on his face.

- Twenty five? Where will we put them? There is hardly any space left with all the other boxes that we have bought!

There were boxes all over the place and there was hardly any place left downstairs.

- They will get the boxes that we have now and store them until the owners comes back. I'll give you a list in the morning with the number on the box and what's inside, so they know it too.

- Man i cant wait to get back to the HQ, i´m so bored that i´m soon going to plant my own flowers. Deidara had been complaining of the lack of things to do since the day they came here. He could count the times he had been to the town nearby on both his hands. Sasori knew him to well and knew that his restlessness would soon drive them both crazy. But he also knew that if Deidara walked to the town to often he would soon sleep over at cheap motels and come and go as he pleased before and after they closed the shop. He shoved a big spoon of porridge in his mouth and felt how the hunger came from nowhere. He was starving, and he had not eating something that tasted this good for so long.

- How about this, if we get done before two o clock you can go to the town and get some groceries tomorrow. Just be back before it gets dark. Sasori was writing down a list for things that he needed for a new wooden doll. His supplies was running low and if he could get him outside for a few hours he could hear himself think.

- Do you really mean that Sasori? He sounded like a little kid waiting for the Santa.

- Yes but only if you focus on the work and dont slack off, we still have a few weeks left and i dont want to stay here a day longer. When was done speaking he could hear Deidara inhale the rest of the porridge and then stood up and walked over to the sink to wash the bowl and spoon. His spirits was up, and he felt happy, and he planned on all the things he would do when he came to the town. "Maybe i should buy new clay, or maybe i should go to the outdoor bath" He was so deep in his thoughts that he did not hear Sasori talking to him.

- I will go back to bed Sasori, see you in the morning. He began to walk to the stairs and raised a hand as a signal for saying good night. Sasori heard the fast and light steps going up the stairs, and he looked at his notes that he just wrote. He then circled in some words and then nodded slowly and placed a finger under his chin. "I want to know how this happened, but knowing him he dont have a clue. I also wonder what our leader will say when we get back" Sasori was thinking to himself and was wondering if he should tell Pain or not about his suspicions. But he later decided that this was not his mess and decided to keep an eye on the blond boy. Deidara had brushed hos teeth and was now lying on the bed and closed his eyes. "Tomorrow will be a good day, i can't wait to get soaked in the warm spring water"

The morning came fast and when he got down to the kitchen he made two toasts and when he waited for them to be ready he heard a knock on the door. He walked to the door and unlocked it and saw four men outside and two horses that was pulling a big wagon.

- We are here to load off the crates and take the creates back to the storage, are everything done? A muscular and large man walked in and hold a wooden clipboard in one of his hands.

- Yes please come this way. He let the man in and then it was two long hours of shuffling and double checking the crates and reshuffling the crates. After the two hours Satori and the large guy decided it would be best if they came back later in the afternoon and take more crates to the storage. Sasori and the man was talking outside and Deidara came in to the kitchen and saw his cold toast in the toaster.

He took the bread and throw it on a plate and inserted two new pieces of bread in the toaster and began to wait for them to be done.

- Eat up fast we have a lot of work to do, the sooner we are the better. Sasoris voice had an irritated tune and Deidara hoped that he could get to the town later. He nodded and after he ate the breakfast the both of them was inspecting and wrote down everything they found in each crate. When it was one o clock Deidara was done whit the larger crates, and he was sweaty and hungry.

- Take a shower before you go, you smell bad as the last crate with the blue cheese. The smell was so bad that they had to place all three crates in the bathroom and then close the door.

- Before i...so i can go? He was both happy and surprised, he was so sure that he would have to stay and continue with the crates. When he heard that he could go he ran upstairs and when he got in to his room he got undressed and took a long hot shower. He felt like himself again. When he got out the shower and looked at himself in the mirror he saw a happy face. He was still tired but he felt better. He got dressed and before he went down the stairs he putted up his hair in a high ponytail and put on black gloves to hide his hands.

When he came down he heard a knock on the door and when he opened it he saw a young woman outside. It looked like she was in her early twenties and her long Aubrey hair was dancing in the summer wind. Her green eyes was shining like jade jewels and her eyes was small and her long black eyelashes made her eyes doll like. Her small nose had a small piercing in it and her petit soft pink lips was so inviting. He had not seen a beauty like this for a long time. She was wearing a tight tankttop that made her bust big and over it she had a black fishnet top. When his eyes was wandering down he could see a green jewel in her bellybutton and that she was wearing a tight black short skirt wit a slit that was almost all they way up to her waist. On her feet she had a pair of black boots, and he could only stare at the beauty in front of him. Her skin had a sun kissed tan, and she smelled like summer flowers when the wind was blowing behind her.

- Im sorry for coming when you are closed, but my uncle forgot to give you this paper.

Her voice was enchanting, and he began to smile rally big. The girls that had come to the store was often wearing work overalls, aprons or working clothes. Seeing this girl was like a diamond in a coal mine.

- No problem at all, want to come in and drink something? He moved from the door and showed with his hand that she could come in.

- Thank you, i would like that, the summer heat is brutal right now. She smiled at him and acted shy and reserved. She walked in, and he closed the door and walked to the fridge, he opened it and took out a pitcher in glass from the fridge. In it was a liquid of watermelon and lemon lemonade. He opened the fridge and took out the ice tray and placed two ice cubes in a glass and poured the cold liquid in the glass. He did it one more time before he placed the items in the fridge and freezer again.

- I hope you like watermelon and lemon. He gave her a glass, and they began to small talk, and they both looked around the store.

- Ohh thank you. She took the glass and began to sip the cold lemonade and it felt good in the summer heat.

- Are you new to this part of area? His smile made her even warmer inside, it was something about him that made him charm her.

- Yeah, i just moved here and my uncle was kind enough to give me a job. She began to walk to the area where they have vegetables in different wooden baskets for sale.

- Im glad that he did. He saw how she let two of her fingers slide down a big and ripe cucumber.

- You must be good at gardening, its so healthy. He heard on the tune in her voice that she was playing a game, he knew this game.

- I trade the veggies for seeds. He was snickering and saw how she smiled back at him.

I bet you are good with your hands. Now she was using her hand on the cucumber, and he placed his hand over her hand.

- I can show you how to use the hoe and then work with the soil and then planting the seeds. They both was playing the game and it would soon be a dance.

- I would love that, do i hold the hoe like this? She took a firm grip of the cucumber, and he felt horny.

- Try to hold it like this. He placed his hand on her hand and placed her soft fingers with a firm grip, and then he moved her hand slowly up and down.

- The grip feels nice Mr. He leaned forward and whispered softly in her ear.

- Please call me Milton, and it's important to let the hand get a steady grip first, then you raise the hoe and then hit the ground hard. Her hand was placed at the base of the cucumber and then moved upwards to the top. After that she felt how me made her hand hold the cucumber hard and then slid her hand down fast. A soft gasp came from her lips, and he did the same thing one more time.

- Mmm.. She closed her eyes when she felt his warm breath on her neck, he was so close to her skin.

- The harder work before planting the seeds and watering the better, if you water them too much they will be washed away. His lips was so close to her ear, and he wanted to stroke his nose on her neck.

- Is it true that the farmers are standing on all four before planting? The tip of his nose was rubbing her skin, and she wanted more.

- HRM. They both heard a noise and Deidara knew who it was. He let go of her hand and looked at Sasori.

- How long have you been there? He tried to sound and act natural, but it was hard now.

- Who is this? He looked at the girl with stern eyes, and she smiled back at the man that was looking at her.

- My name is Poppy and my uncle was here earlier and forgot to give you this. She gave Sasori a folder with some paperwork and Poppy was walking to the door.

- Tell your uncle i will look in to it. Sasori´s voice was filled with disgust and Poppy knew that she was not welcome any longer.

- I'll hope i see you soon Milton, i would love to get a gardening lesson. She smiled before she opened the door and walked out. When the door was closed Sasori walked over to the jackets that was hanging on a knob i the kitchen.

- Where are you going? Deidara was confused, one of them had to stay in the store of one of them was going out.

- You stay here, i have work to do. Sasori had to go to the town and meet the informant that they was working with. He had news that could not wait, and he also had a message from Pain.

- What do you mean i stay here? You said i could go! Deidara was angry and all the emotions began to boil inside of him. He had been looking forward to going to the town and just relax.

- I dont trust you brat, after your little stunt now i cant let you go outside! Sasori had hoped to stay and finish the new doll. But right now he could not trust his partner to behave and keep a ow profile.

- YOU PROMISED ME THAT I COULD GO! He was screaming and wanted to go now.

- SHUT UP! You always do this, you always flirt with someone and then you are gone for hours. I dont know hot many times you had missed the time we was supposed to go! Right now you act like a stubborn child and Pain told me that the moment i dont trust you i can send you home! Deidara became quiet, and he was just opening and closing his mouth.

- Tch... He was angry, and he knew that Sasori was not saying the things as a threat, it was a promise.

- We had this talk when we got here, now tell me if i should send you back or not. Sasori heard a few swearing words and a plate and a mug came flying from the kitchen before Deidara was stomping his way up for the stairs and then slammed his bedroom door.

"His mood swings are getting more intense" He opened the door and when he got out he locked it and walked to the town.

In Deidaras bedroom he was screaming in his pillow and hitting the bed with his hands and feet. He just had a little innocent flirt with a girl that came to the store, it was not like he was going to look after her when he came to the town. He hated Sasori, everyday he was complaining about something. "Use less salt, dont mumble when you speak, you need to eat more. When did he decide to act like my dad? Who does he think he is?" He was so angry that he did not notice how tired he was, he had been up since six in the morning and now the time was two o clock. Yawn after yawn escaped from his mouth and soon he was sleeping, and he could not wait to get back home.

It was late in the evening when Sasori came back and when he unlocked the door and went inside he saw the broken plate and mug on the floor. He let out a sigh and took out a broom and a box, he placed the broken pieces in the box and then swept the whole floor. When he was done he walked over to his work area and heard that Deidara was walking down the stairs. He walked to the fridge and made a salad and took the food back to his room. Right now he wanted to be alone, and when he was done eating he went back to his bed and when he lay down he was counting down the days.

Two weeks later they both was cleaning the store from top to bottom. The owners would return one week early and both Sasori and Deidara was happy about the news. Ever since they had the fight about him not going to town they avoided eachother. When the store was closed Deidara spent the time in his room, and he brought his food to his room and did the dishes the day after when he came down. The nightmares had came back, but he was too proud to ask for more medications. There were times when Sasori had to place the medications in a glass with lemonade that Deidara was going to drink in the morning before he walked out with the open sign. If he did not trick him in to driking the medication he would be to tired to function. And when the evening came he was so tired that he hardly could keep his eyes open.

- Brat are you ready to go? Sasori knocked on Deidaras bedroom door and heard something inside. He opened the dorr and saw Deidara packing a large bag.

- Almost.. The bag felt heavy and when he was about to pick it up he heard Sasori talking to him.

- Leave it, all the items that are left behind will be sent back. I want to go now. He turned around and Deidara left the heavy bag and followed Sasori down the stairs. When they got outside and locked the door they both took a last look on their so called home and began to walk back to their home in the HQ.

When they came back after a week of walking they saw that everyone was there and it was not that often.

- When did you came back? A tall muscular guy with blue hair looked at his teammates and he thought something was different between them.

- Where is Pain? Sasori was looking in the room and saw all members except their leader.

- He had to go on a important meeting, but he wanted to treat you all to sushi. He won four large party sushi platters and wanted to show you all how much he apprreciate all of you and your hard work. The plates are in the dining area and i hope everyone will have a good time. Konan came in to the kitchen and looked happy that everyone was in the same room.

- Let me take a shower before we start eating. Deidara walked past everyone and when he unlocked the door to his room he felt calm and safe. It needed to be aired, and he decided to let the door to be open when he walked to the dining area. He took a quick shower, and he felt like a new person when he came out. He putted on new clothes and left the door open when he walked to the dining area.

The dinner was pleasant and everyone enjoyed themself, they started to talk and the hours flew by. The one by one they started to sprint to their room and bathrooms to throw up. The only ones that did not get sick was Sasori, a new member named Tobi and a man by the name Zetsu. After a few tests Sasori could confirm that everyone that got sick was sick in food poisoning.

When Pain came back the day after he had to help the others by bringing them water and medicine that would help them to get better.

On the fifth day he found Deidara lying on the floor in the corridor, his skin was pale, and he was unconscious. Pain tried to get him to react but to no avail, he picked him up and then rushed to the ER. After some quick tests they saw that he was dehydrated and also malnourished. They gave him some injections and placed and IV drop in his vein and checked his vitals by ECG TEST. They also checked his blood presser and listened to his heart and lungs.

- Do you know what happened to him? A nurse was worried and tried her best to make the male in front of her to respond.

- My team good a bad case of food poisoning a few days ago, he got the sickest. Pain saw how the nurse opened Deidaras eyelids and used a lamp to check his pupils.

- How many days and what food? She placed an arm cuff around his arm and started to pump the pump, so she could see the blood pressure.

- Sushi with fish and shrimp, they got sick five days ago, the others began to get better yesterday and can keep the food and water they are eating. He saw how the nurse nodded and pressed a button and asked for an IV bag.

He woke up in the middle of the night, not knowing where he was.

- Wa...w..ter.. he wanted to say the word water but his mouth and lips was so dry that it hurt when he open them. He felt something soft and wet on his lips and a soft voice that spoke to him.

- Here suck on this. Pain placed wet cotton on the boys dry lips. The head nurse had told him that it would be the bast way to get him some fluids. They had tried to give him water in a glass a few hours before, but he threw it all up. He had got really sick of the food poison and had to done more tests to make sure what he needed and what caused his sickness. He should have been better by now, but he was getting worse.

When Deidara was done he fell asleep and when Pains cold fingers was stroking his forehead he felt better.

- Get better soon my little Didi. He whispered the words in the boy´s ear and had a evil grin on his lips.
