The way to your heart Ch.16

(Warning! Contains Yaoi!!!!.......I don't think I need to say anymore than that)

"Your brother?!?" Deidara felt as if he were going to be sick.

"Yes my brother, I was aware that he'd been going out late at night but I had no idea that he was dumb enough to do something like this, Sasuke!" Itachi yelled getting his brothers attention.

"Yes Itachi?" Sasuke answered warily.

"Home. Now. We'll talk about this later." Sasuke nodded apparently not wanting to argue with his elder brother.

"Sasori how are things here?" Konan said appearing from around the corner.

"Everything's ok, we've got it under control."

"Good I want everyone outside now there are some things we need to go over." She ordered. Everyone nodded filing out one by one, while they were walking through the building they received strange stares from the workers and customers but no one approached chances are they realized that the police was somehow involved and they wanted to stay far away.

"So you're a cop?" Sasuke asked Deidara.

"Yeah, un." Deidara said refusing to meet his eye he was still really embarrassed over what he did to his co-workers brother even if it was only a job.

"Would you like to go out sometime?"

"What?!"

"Yeah, you're hot and I'd love to take you out sometime you may be older than me but I don't care I like older women." Sasuke shot Deidara a seductive smile. The blonde was not fazed in the slightest.

"Sorry but that's never going to happen." Deidara said walking faster Sasuke sped up his pace and soon he was back in step with the blonde.

"Awe come on why not?" Sasuke pressed slipping an arm around Deidara's shoulders. Deidara stopped removed the limb from his body and resumed walking determined to make it to the exit before he lost his temper.

"Look it's never going to happen; you're not my type, un."

"Then what is your type?"

"Not you, un."

"Then how about one kiss I bet it'll be enough for you to change your mind." Sasuke said this time slipping his arm around Deidara's waist giving him a little squeeze. That did it.

"I'm I guy you jackass!" Deidara roared he froze looking around at all the faces that were now staring directly at him. His cheeks blazed red keeping his eyes down he quickly made his way from the building.

"You idiot." Itachi sighed grabbing Sasuke's ear and all but dragging him out of the building ignoring his protests while the others followed closely behind some not even bothering to hide their laughter.

They found Deidara in the back of the parking lot leaning against one of the cruisers. "Hey Dei are you alright?" Hidan asked the blondes arms were wrapped tightly around his still half naked body as light tremors rocked through his frame. The Jashinist nodded in understanding. He took off his jacket leaving him completely shirtless and draped it around the blonde's seemingly delicate body. The tremors stopped after a few minutes and Deidara sighed leaning against the silver haired man.

"I'm alright, un. I'm just tired of having my dignity shattered multiple times in one night."

"It comes with the job." Hidan smiled wrapping his arms around Deidara.

"Then maybe I should quite."

Everyone was silent. "You don't really mean that do you?" Pein asked

"*sigh* No, forget I said anything I'd miss you guys too much, un."

"That's my Dei-Chan!" Hidan cheered picking the blonde up and swinging him around in a circle.

Far back from the pair Sasori stood watching, his eye closing as he turned and walked the other direction.

"Hey Sasori where ya going?" Kisame called after the redhead. Hidan stopped spinning setting Deidara down on his feet both their eyes on the departing man.

"You guys have got everything under control here so I'm gonna head back to the station, we left it empty for this mission and I want to get back and make sure everything's ok."

"Alright just be careful and be sure to keep you radio on just in case." Konan called after him.

"Sure." Sasori mumbled to one in particular. As soon as he was in his car his started the engine, as he started to pull out a small knock at the passenger's side window startled him. He wasn't really all that surprised that it was Deidara. Said blonde motioned for him to roll down the window.

"Mind giving me a ride, un?"

"…Yeah sure." Sasori clicked the button to unlock Deidara door.

"Thanks, un." Deidara said climbing in. Sasori merely nodded.

The ride back was met with an uncomfortable silence, neither said a word, neither tried. When they finally pulled back into the stations parking lot they both got out and the silence continued. Both reached for the door handle at the same time, when their skin touch they recoiled as if they'd been shocked. Deidara was the first to move grabbing the handle walking through quickly with Sasori close behind.

I should tell him, now's the perfect time we're alone and there's nothing around to distract us but damn why the hell did he have to be dressed like that?! Sasori was having as hard time keeping his eyes off Deidara. The way he's moving, it's like he wants me to pounce on him, GAH! Restrain yourself Sasori you're a police officer for Jashin sake!...NO! Now I'm quoting that silver haired idiot someone please kill me.

"Hey Danna are you alright?"

"Huh? What?" Sasori said suddenly coming back to reality.

"I ask if you were alright, un." Deidara said again worry in his eyes.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine, no need to worry."

Deidara wasn't fooled for a second. "Danna I can tell you're not, what's wrong, un?"

"I said I'm fine brat!" Sasori snapped sending Deidara aback. Sasori saw the hurt in his eyes and immediately felt guilty. "I-I'm sorry I just have a lot on my mind right now but it's nothing you need to worry about really."

Deidara smiled. "It's ok I'm going to take a shower, it'll feel good to finally get out of these clothes."

Would you like me to help? Sasori literally smacked himself. What is wrong with me when the hell did I become a pervert? He looked at Deidara again. Oh right.

Deidara looked at Sasori strangely but said nothing, apparently not wanting to be yelled at again. With a smile and a nod he turned the other way heading towards the showers. Sasori watched him go a feeling of despair in the pit of his stomach. He walked into the office he shared with the blonde, he stood there just looking around.

Ever since he joined things have been so different, it's like work is actually tolerable again. He may act like an idiotic brat but he's got a kind heart, how he can stand a person like me will forever be a mystery. (that rhymed XD) Sasori looked over at Deidara's desk always messy but never completely unkempt. He walked over and picked up one of the few frames that rested there. Sasori smiled it was a picture of Deidara and Tobi from the looks of things they were at the beach. Tobi's arms were wrapped tightly around the blonde a huge grin on his face while Deidara had a slight frown on his although you could tell he didn't mind. Those two were so much alike both crazy spur of the moment people but some of the best friends a person could have.

"Sasori Danna?" Said redhead jumped he hadn't realized Deidara was back.

"Yeah Deidara?" Sasori turned around and immediately regretted it, Deidara stood there in nothing but a towel wrapped around his slim waist giving Sasori a perfect look at his slight but prominent six pack. "Hugh w-what do you need?" Sasori said quickly turning around fighting the nosebleed that was sure to come.

"I wanted to grab my spare change of clothes, un." He said walking towards his desk. "I keep meaning to put them in my locker but I just never get around to it." When Sasori realized that the blonde was heading towards his desk the redhead made a break for his own not wanting to get to close he didn't want to be…tempted.  Sasori listened as one of the drawers in Deidaras desk opened and closed, then hearing as his bare feet moved across the carpet until the sounds ceased altogether.

Sasori sighed Deidara was gone maybe now he could get his thoughts straight. "Hey Danna." Or maybe not.

"What do you want Deidara?"He listened as the sound of feet on carpet picked up again, hearing as they got closer and closer until he felt a hand being placed on his shoulder. This was not good it felt like any second the nosebleed would start he had to get Deidara out of there.

"Sasori Danna please tell me what's wrong."

"How many time must I tell you brat nothing is wrong!" Sasori hated to say it but he was getting desperate. Deidara recoiled like he'd been slapped removing his hand from the red heads shoulder and slowly started to back away.

"Sorry, un." Deidara whispered not even bothering to hide the pain in his voice. He left, Sasori once again listened to his foot step as they got farther and farther away until they faded into nothing.

"Dammit!" Sasori roared punching the wall. "What the hell is wrong with me?! Why am I such a prick?!?" He collapsed in his office chair resting his head in his arms atop his desk. That's it when he comes back I'm going to apologize and I'm going to tell him, I'm going to tell him that I love him. I don't care if he doesn't return my feelings I just want him to know. Just like with the mission I want him to know he has options. I just…want…him to…know….

***

"Hey Danna wake up you fell asleep, un."

Sasori's head shot up. "H-How long was I asleep?" His eyes widened, Deidara was wearing the same red t-shirt he wore that night at the fair, his hair was down and still partially wet in Sasori's opinion he looked even hotter than before.

"I guess as long as I was in the shower so probably 30 minutes, un."

"Wow only that….wait you take 30 minute showers? That's really long." Sasori chuckled.

Deidara frowned. "Sorry for wanting to get the feeling of stripper off me, un."

What's wrong with him? Oh wait that's right I yelled at him. "Hey Deidara I'm-"

"The others should be back soon, un it would probably be best if we straightened up." Deidaras voice was calm but it was clear that he was upset. He started heading towards the exit, started to leave Sasori. Without thinking the red head grabbed the blonde's wrist, spinning him around and  pushed his back against the door frame.

"Sasori what the hell!" Deidara yelled trying to break free from the red heads hold.

"Deidara I'm sorry!" Deidara stopped struggling, Sasori took this opportunity to speak his words rushed as he tried to get it all out. "Deidara I'm sorry I'm such a jerk to you all the time but for some reason you make me feel things I haven't felt in a really long time." A blonde eyebrow rose. "Nothing like that!" He said quickly reading the blondes thoughts. "For the longest time I've been the type of person who focused only on his work, things like friends, family, and fun held no meaning to me. The sad thing is I became cold hearted and I shut myself out to anyone and everyone who tried to get close."

"Sasori I-"

"And then you came along with your hyperactive attitude and cheery disposition and changed all that. At first I hated you I mean who were you some newbie fresh out of the academy who got a lucky break and got sent straight to the elite Akatsuki, I didn't think you'd last 3 days. But then as time went I saw that you had more than enough skill to hold you own, you could kick butt when you needed to and showed compassion when it was necessary. You've really turned this place around Deidara, for the better."

Deidara was shocked but he couldn't forget the way he'd yelled at him. He was tired of getting yelled at all the time and if this speech was Sasori's way of saying he was sorry well, Deidara didn't know what to think.

"The only mistake I've ever seen you make is going out with Hidan."

"Now wait just one minute Sasori!" The red head was stunned what happened to Danna?

"You can say whatever you want about me but you are not allowed to insult my friends, I can date whoever the hell I want you got that?!"

"Yeah I get it just fine! Sorry for caring I've just always wondered why you of all people would go out with an idiot like him and now I know you're both idiots!"

"Are you completely messed up in the head? First you pin me against the wall saying all these things about how I've changed this place for the better and then you go and start insulting people? What is wrong with you?! Why do you even care?!?"

"BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!"

"…"

"I care because I'm in love with you." Sasori said this time more softly. "But you know what it doesn't matter because you're with Hidan."

"No I'm not."

Sasori's eyes widened "What?"

"I'm not with Hidan, to be honest, un I never really was."

"Don't lie to me brat." Sasori growled.

"What are you talking about I'm not lying me and Hidan never even really kissed."

"Ok now you really better stop!"

"Danna what is wrong with you I'm not laying."

"That's bull and you know it!"

"Sasori Danna what are you talking about, un?"

"I saw you two kissing, that night that Pein, Itachi, and Zetsu got hurt I saw you two making out in the kitchen!"

"Making…out…in the..kitchen? HA HA HA HA!!!"

Sasori's eyes narrowed. "What the hell is so funny brat?"

"Y-You, un!"

"Me? And why exactly am I so funny?" Sasori growled.

"B-Because you h-have it all wrong." Deidara struggled to make his words clear as wave after wave of laughter broke through the blondes lips.

"What are you talking about?"

By now Deidara had managed to calm down a bit. "Danna we weren't really kissing it was more of a test."

"A test?"

                                                                            (Flash back)

Setting: The Akatsuki had just gotten the radio transmission telling them of the shoot out. They had just been dismissed.

Deidara was in shock he couldn't believe some of the strongest people he knew were so badly hurt. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going and before he knew it he'd found himself in the kitchen. Deidara walked over to one of the cabinets and opened it, then closed it without ever having look at what was inside.

"Hey Deidara are you alright? Oh, sorry." Deidara jumped when the Jashinist had spoken.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine, just a little…frazzled."

"Frazzled hmm? Well that's a nice way of putting it but I would've preferred something more like antsy, concerned, jittery, in a tizzy…"

"In a tizzy?"

"Yeah sounds British don't it?"

Deidara chucked and Hidan smiled. "There's that smile, now would you like to tell me what's wrong?"

"I'm just worried about the others, the way Itachi screamed it sounded so…so…horrible. It was as if an animal was being tortured." Without thinking Deidara wrapped his arms around his whole body trying to get that awful sound from his head.  The next second a pair of arms wrapped themselves around the blonde's body, Deidara stiffened Hidan felt this and pulled him tighter against his chest.

"What's wrong?" Hidan whispered.

"N-Nothing's wrong, un." Deidara said pulling away and taking step back.

Hidan gave a sad smile. "I know what's wrong."

"R-Really, un nothing's wrong."

"You're in love."

O.O… "Really, un that's not-"

Hidan held up a hand to silence him. "Not with me I know, you're in love with Sasori."

"Hidan I'm-"

"Sorry? Its ok I've kinda known this would happen from the start but I couldn't help it I had to try. I guess now I know it was useless you'll never love me and I can accept that."

"But-"

"But nothing Dei. You love him, everyone can see that, I think the only one who as oblivious as you when it comes to your feelings towards Sasori, is Sasori. I mean seriously the guy clearly has it bad for you and he refuses to do anything about it, really what has this world come to when a red head is dumber than a blonde."

"Hidan I-" At that moment Kisame ran past the kitchen Sasori following seconds later, both Hidan and Deidara watched the two until they were no longer in sight.

"And that right there proves my point." Hidan said with a satisfied smile.

"What are you talking about, un?"

"I'm talking about how you looked when Sasori ran by, your whole face lightened up and you became visibly more relaxed. Honestly Deidara you've got it bad for the guy. I only wish that we'd been able to have a chance but now I guess we'll never know."

"Hidan I'm so sorry."

"Don't be, puppet boy has always been eye candy for the ladies and seeing as the only thing stopping you from being a girl is that thing between your legs I'd say you've all but got it covered."

Deidara frowned causing Hidan to chuckle. Then a look of thoughtfulness came into his eyes. "You what really sucks, we never even really kissed I bet that if I had kissed you then maybe things would've been different."

"Then why don't we, un?"

Hidan looked at the blonde in disbelief. "What?"

"I would like to try. Hidan you're a great guy and I hate to leave things like this, I care for you deeply but I just don't love you, but maybe a kiss could fix all that, maybe it could help me make the right choice."

Hidan looked nervous. "Deidara are you sure about that?"

"Yes, un. I want to know its better we know now than sometime in the future when it's too late."

Hidan took a step closer to Deidara putting both his hands on the blonde's shoulders and stared deep into his clear blue eyes. "Are you sure?" Deidara response was a simple but firm nod.

Hidan didn't waist anytime, he brought his face down until his lips met with that of Deidara's. For a few seconds they did nothing but stand there, until slowly their lips began to move. Hidan licked Deidara's bottom lips asking for entrance, seconds later it was given. For the next few seconds their tongues played together while Hidan slid his hands from Deidara's shoulders down to his waist, Deidara mimicked his movements wrapping his arms around the zealot's neck. They continued for a couple more minutes eventually breaking off when the need for air became too great.

"Anything?" Hidan gasped trying to catch his breath.

"Nope, nothing, un what about you?" Deidara said still trying to catch his breath.

"Nothing, I didn't feel a damn thing…damn."

"But at least now we know, un."

"Yeah at least now we know."

"So what now, un?"

"Well for starters you can go get your red head."

Deidara smiled, "Thanks Hidan." Deidara then gave him a quick peck on the cheek before running from the room determined to catch the red head before he left.

                          ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Sasori didn't know what to say, he'd long since dropped his hold on Deidara's shirt so that now he only stood there his eyes wide and mouth gaping opened.

Deidara waved his hand in front of the red heads. "Sasori Danna? Yoo hoo, are you awake, un?"

He blinked. "Hugh? What?"

"Are you ok, un?"

"Y-Yeah but um, does what your telling me mean that…"

"Yes, I'm in love with you too Sasori Danna. I have been for a very long time."

Sasori didn't waste another second he grabbed Deidara wrapping one hand around the blonde's  waist and the other around his neck and all but crash their lips to his own. At first Deidara was too surprised to move but then he quickly returned the kiss with as much feeling and raw emotion as the other. Sasori released his hold on the blonde's neck and wrapped his other arm around the blonde's waist while Deidara quickly swung both his arms around Sasori's neck trying to deepen the kiss. As if reading each other's minds they both proceeded to open their mouths allowing the others tongue to enter. The taste of the other caused them both to sound deep moans of desire, both finally getting what they'd yearned for for so long.

Eventually the pair broke apart greedily sucking in the much needed air as it filled their lungs, each of them staring deep into the others eyes as if reading their souls to the very foundation of their being.

Sasori smiled. "I love you"

"I love you too." Deidara said leaning up for another kiss which Sasori gladly gave him. They became more forceful Deidara tangled his fingers into Sasori's red locks while the red head picked Deidara up swinging both of his legs around his waist and carried him over to his desk. Sasori set him down and immediately set to ravishing the blonde's neck.

Deidara let out an air of breathy moans as Sasori nipped and sucked at the sensitive flesh. "S-Sasori D-Danna…I love you."

"Say it again." Sasori begged switching sides.

"I love you, I love you, I love you ahhh…" Deidara threw his head back allowing Sasori better access to the sensitive skin.

"Awe isn't that sweet it reminds me of the good old days." Sasori and Deidara both looked up they knew that voice it was one that could break anyone down in fear just by the sheer thought.

"Orochimaru…." Sasori moved in front of Deidara.

"Is that the only greeting you have for me? Saying my name although you did do that quite a bit back when we would-"

"What the HELL are you doing here?!" Deidara visible cringed he'd never seen Sasori so mad but his eyes didn't stay on the red head for long because he could see Orochimaru staring right at him.

"Hello Deidara it's so nice to see you again I see you've taken my place as Sasori's lov-"

"What do you want?!?" Sasori yelled.

"Now now my dear Sasori why won't you let me finish a sentence is it because you don't want your precious blonde to know that we used to be-"

"DEIDARA GET DOWN!" Sasori reached back words trying to get to the gun that rest on his desk. Deidara crouched down mentally cursing himself for not having his own gun it was still with his other clothes which Konan had and she was probably still back at the club.

POP

"AHHH!" Sasori cried out in pain as the bullet ripped through his hand and sent his gun flying landing on the floor not 3 feet from the blonde. Deidara reached for it just hoping…

POP

A bullet ripped across the carpet stopping Deidara from reaching the gun. "Oh I'm sorry little one but I can't let do that you see I didn't come here to get my head blown off."

"Then why did you come here?!" Sasori yelled cradling his injured hand against his chest.

"Oh well you see that's very simple I merely came here to see how young Deidara was doing." He said smiling down at Deidara with a predatory grin.

"M-Me, un?"

"Yes of course, I feel like I didn't have a chance to properly introduce myself the last time we met."

"YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Sasori charged at the snake man. He brought his fist back and let it snap forward with as much force as possible. Orochimaru was quicker he grabbed Sasori's hand, lifting it high up into the air before delivering a fierce kick square in the middle of the redhead's stomach.

Sasori was limp on the ground, trying desperately to recapture his breathe all while Orochimaru still held his wrist. Then his eyes turned to where Deidara was, only he was no longer there.

POP

There stood Deidara a look of absolute fury in his eyes, both his hand wrapped tightly around Sasori's gun that was pointed directly at Orochimaru.

"DROP HIM NOW!" Deidara ordered.

"Of course precious Deidara how could I even consider anything else but first I'd like to ask you a question." Deidara eyes narrowed while he tightened his grip on the gun. Orochimaru's eyes suddenly became thought full, Sasori's wrist was still gripped in hand while the snake man played with his fingers. "Did Sasori ever tell you how his hand ended up this way?"

"Shut…up…" Sasori wheezed still unable to breathe properly.

"Come now Sasori seeing as Deidara here is your new lover than doesn't he have a right to know?"

"I said…shut…UP!" In a surprise attack Sasori threw his right leg up hoping to land a kick right into the snake man's face only for his leg to be blocked with Orochimaru's free hand.

"Now don't be rude I was talking."

Suddenly the sound of a door slamming open sounded through the hallway followed by several voices.

"WHERE ARE THEY?"

"I DON'T KNOW BUT MOVE QUICKLY!"

"SASUKE STAY HERE!"  Their footsteps were getting closer it was only a matter of time before they reached them.

"What? How?!" Orochimaru growled.

Deidara smirked and pointed to his chest, there blending in to near perfection was the Akatsuki pin. "Just press and hold for 5 seconds, un."

The snake man smiled. "Damn and I was having so much fun too but oh well." He shrugged. "Goodbye Deidara I feel we'll be meeting sometime again very soon."

"You can bet we will." Deidara growled.

Orochimaru smiled. "And to you my lovely Sasori I must say goodbye but not before leaving you with a little something to remember me by." A second later the sound of something being crushed with a tremendous amount of force sounded through the room.

"I bid the a due." Orochimaru then released Sasori's now shattered hand forcing the red head to land in a near crumpled heap on the group.

"YOU'RE DEAD!" Deidara opened fired.

POP POP POP  

"AHHH!" One of the bullets managed to hit is mark ripping its way through the snake man's left leg, blood dripping down into the carpet. "I'll remember this." Orochimaru growled, lifting one arm up high and then slamming it down, suddenly the entire room was flooded in smoke. The voices in the hallway were closer.

"DAMN NOT THIS AGAIN!"

"IT MUST BE OROCHIMARU AGAIN SPREAD OUT AND TRY TO FIND HIM!"

Deidara dropped the gun he knew it was useless, now he had to get to Sasori. Dropping to his knees he searched virtually blind from all the smoke. Finally his hands came across something warm and soft.

"Danna!" Deidara cried pulling the red head against his chest, the smoke was finally starting to clear and Deidara could see that both Sasori's hands were trashed. His real one had a deep graze line from where Orochimaru shot him and his fake one was shattered, several piece lay around them. Deidara reached down the picked up the red heads thumb.

"HEY HERE THEY ARE I FOUND THEM!" Hidan yelled running towards the pair his eyes widening when he took in the scene before him. "Deidara oh my Jashin what the hell happened?!"

                           ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A fist came slamming down on the table. "Damn that Orochimaru!"

"Calm yourself Hidan." Pein ordered. The entire Akatsuki, including a certain weasel's brother were currently located in Konan's office.

"Well now what do we do." Kisame asked leaning against the wall.

"We can start by having Sasuke explain to Sasori and Deidara why exactly he was at that club." Konan said.

Sasuke looked over that the pair, his face turning red when he saw Deidara. But the blonde didn't pay him any mind he was focusing on wrapping a bandage around Sasori real hand, the remains of the fake one had long since been discarded damaged beyond repair.

"Deidara!"

"Huh?! What, un?" He said looking up.

"Pay attention Sasuke here has some valuable information you're going to need to know." Konan said.

"Where should I start?" Sasuke asked looking down at his hands.

"From the beginning."

"Alright, um about 3 weeks ago I was walking home from the club (Itachi frowned) it was dark as I walked down the sidewalk. I only live about 15 minutes away I'd done it before (Itachi's frown deepened) so I thought I'd be fine. But then out of nowhere this car filled with people pulls up. I tried to run but they were too quick, they grabbed me and slammed me against the brick wall, they started laughing and one of them kneed me in the gut. Just as I thought I was done for this person comes out of nowhere and beats the crap out of them. At first I thought it was a girl because of their long hair but then I saw their face and could see it was a guy. Eventually the other's ran and then he turned to me and asked if I was ok. To be honest I was in complete shock the way the guy fought was incredible, every move he made was like a snake quick, affective and right on the mark."

Everyone in the group frowned; they knew full well the type of destructive power that Orochimaru held. Without thinking Sasori rubbed the stub of his hand, he'd have to get a new one very soon.

"My first response to the guy was to thank him and ask if there was anything I could do to repay him. He said he didn't want anything more than to make sure I got home safely. So I let him walk me home, when the building came into view he said he'd leave there, it was then that I asked if he could teach me how to fight the way he had. He smiled said yes and gave me his number. The first time I showed up there was someone else there his name was Kabuto and Orochimaru explained that it'd be easier to teach me if I had a partner more my age. At first Kabuto and I got along even got to be good friends I even took him to the club with me a couple times but after about a week his attitude towards me started to darken and for some reason he hated me, when we would spar he would go all out almost broke my arm but then Orochimaru stepped in and stopped him. He said he was sorry for Kabuto's behavior and then-"

"What he do, un?"

"H-He started to get all touchy, rubbing my back and shoulders all while Kabuto was standing right there and man did he look mad. Well after that I just bolted not wanting anymore to do with them, I haven't seen them since."

"How many times have I told you people that Orochimaru is a fucking pedophile?!" Hidan said throwing his arms in the air.

"Hidan quiet down." Kakuzu ordered.

"So what exactly does this have to do us, un?"

"Simple Kabuto got jealous and wanted Sasuke out of the picture plus he knows that we've been investigating Orochimaru. In an attempt to kill two birds with one stone he sent us after him using a phony tip saying that he was working with said snake man adding that this guy was very dangerous and not hesitant to kill and since he knows where Sasuke likes to go he knew his tip would turn out at least partially true giving us reason to go further. I bet he thought we'd accidentally kill him thus rendering our men completely distraught and unable to focus by the fact we'd just killed one of our member's brothers giving him a chance to continue his work."

Everyone stared wide eyed and open mouthed at Hidan, even Itachi and Kakuzu whose features were usually cold and emotionless stood in complete shock at the zealot's words.

"What?" Hidan asked confused as to why everyone was staring at him.

"What Hidan says makes sense, un." Now all eyes were on Deidara. "I mean from what Sasuke told us and the way Hidan put it all together I have to agree with Hidan's assumptions. If we're unable to focus then it would be that much easier for Orochimaru to take us down but all we have to do is strike first."

"And how exactly do you suggest we do that?" Itachi asked.

"Sasuke when you went to train with Orochimaru where exactly did you go, to his house, un?"

"No, he took me to this building near the spot where he saved me. It was like some sort of old meat packing plant, he said it was supposed to inspire me like in those old kick boxing movies. There were even old cow bodies hanging from the ceiling, the place smelled but it was spacious and I had to admit it did work, I felt like Rocky."

Everyone visible stiffened Deidara and Sasuke both looked at the others in confusion. "Danna, un? Is something wrong?"

"No we're all fine it's just that, we know the place." His face was sullen, yes they knew that place all too well.

"Well this is good right, un? Now we know where to start."

"Deidara I don't think-" Kisame began.

"No Deidara's right!" Konan exclaimed "We need to go and stop Orochimaru, twice he's visited us this time while two of our members were alone if he's left to continue people will die."

"Enough is enough we know where he is I say we go get him!"

"I agree with Hidan." Everyone looked at Itachi in shock. "I know I know I just did the impossible and agreed with him but he's right Orochimaru needs to be stopped we've already proven that he performed insane experiments on people but we've just never been able to get our hands on him, well now we know so let's go."

"Experiments? What's he talking about, un?"

"Has no one ever told him?" Konan asked. She was met with silence. "Well this is just great the kids' getting ready to go out into the field and barely knows anything about him. Pein if you please."

"Alright Deidara exactly what do you know about Orochimaru?"

"That he used to be in the Akatsuki and that he betrayed all of you somehow…why did he do?"

"Let me start from the beginning, Orochimaru considers himself to be a scientist of sorts he loved to perform experiments, it wasn't until later on that we realized what his preferred test subjects were…humans. I'm not going to get detailed about his work but I will tell you that he used to do the most horrific and inhuman things to these people. A lot of them were people he arrested off the streets, rather than calling them in and taking them to jail he would take them right to his lab. When we found out about his work we immediately tried to stop him, when we went to his lab…you can pretty much guess what happened next Kakuzu and Sasori got the worst of it."

Deidara eyed the two he always had a feeling that it was Orochimaru who did that to Sasori but he had no idea about Kakuzu.

"He beat us and ran, leaving his experiments and test subjects behind but by then they were all so horribly messy up in mind and body that they were completely unstable, they died one week after rescue."

"W-Where was his lab, un?"

"The very place we're going."

"Alright seeing as you guys are serious about this I want you ready for battle in 24 hours."

"Let's do this!" Hidan cheered.

"I'm beyond sick of this guy I want him gone."

"The time has come for his end."

"Very well, in 24 hours we move."

"Put that there."

"Here, un?"

"No higher."

"Here?"

"Yes you're actually pretty good at this."

"Thanks Danna I didn't know I had a talent for reattaching faux limbs, un."

Sasori smiled. "Well you do, it's actually kinda nice to have someone help me rather than all by myself with one hand."

"I'm guessing you've learned to do a lot of things with one hand."

T.T

"Not like that! I just meant that it must've been hard for you especially at first."

"It was."

"Danna?"

"Yes?"

"How exactly did this happen, un?"

Sasori sighed pulling Deidara into his lap. "Deidara now is neither the time nor the place. I'm not going to tell at you because it's taken me way too long to get you and now that I have you I don't want to lose you."

"Un?"

Sasori smiled. "I love you and I promise to tell you everything in due time."

Deidara beamed. "I love you too Danna!" He then snuggled deeper into Sasori's chest while Sasori wrapped his arms protectively around his new partner/boyfriend. In 24 hours we're going to go to the source of all evil, he may have taken my arm but he isn't taking my Deidara.
