Too Far

Part Two

           

 

            Sasori had a worried look on his face. He didn’t know what to do. He wanted to go talk to Deidara, but Konan wouldn’t allow him to go to his room.  Maybe when she’s in a different room, I’ll sneak off…but should I? Sasori thought to himself. The only way to resolve this dilemma is to talk things through…maybe me and Deidara could have had something…UGH! What am I thinking?! I do not like Deidara!! But why is he on my mind then??!! Gah, I should go talk to him…but how could I distract Konan?

 

            “Hey Konan, can you go to the woods and find me some Red dragon weeds? They help me calm down. These plants have red leaves and little blue flower buds. You won’t miss them, they stick out” Of course these plants don’t exist, but it will keep Konan busy.

 

            “Sure, I need to get some fresh air anyways” and she got her cloak and got out the door.

 

            Thank god! I didn’t think she would have fallen for that one, but she did. Now, I need to go find Dei. And he got up from the couch and started to walk towards Deidara and his shared room. Soon he got to the door and lightly knocked.

 

            “Um…Deidara? Can we t-talk?” and he gradually opened the door. “Deidara? You in here?” Saso whispered, followed by a gasp. He rushed over to the open window. “Deidara!!” he shouted out in the open sky. “H-he left…I have to find him…if you leave the Akatsuki, the leader will kill you…no…no!” Sasori told himself, and then stared with shocked eyes outside. “…N-no….” tears started to form, then fell down his pale face. W-what? I’m crying? I-I guess he was right…tears means you’re sad…sad is an emotion…

 

           

            Sasori sat there for about two hours, in a trance. He was in true shock, of both Deidara leaving and his emotions. It wasn’t until Konan started yelling for him, that he snapped out of his trance.

           

            “Sasori?!! Where are you?! Sasori!” Konan barged into the room, unsure of what she would witness. “Sasori? What happened? Where is Deidara?” Konan dashed over to the redhead.

 

            “D-Deidara is….g-gone….” Crimson eyes stared into darkness.

 

            “What do you mean? What happened??” Konan grabbed Sasori’s shoulder. “???”

 

            “D-Deidara left…he is gone now…..” another set of blue crystals streamed down the puppet’s flawless face. “…gone……”

 

            “He left the Akatsuki base? What did he do to you??!” Konan started to pry at Sasori for answers.

 

            “…he did….nothing……to me…….” …..Not even say goodbye……D-Deidara….why? We could have worked it out….just don’t leave me…..

 

            “Then why are you crying?!” Konan didn’t know what to expect from Sasori after all he's been through that day.

           

            “B-because….um….I-I just miss him, okay…..” I don’t want to tell her…that I like him…it’s just…what should I do now?!  And then Saso sighed and stared into space again.

 

            “O-okay…do want me to stay here?”

 

            “You can leave if you want to.” Actually, Sasori wanted to be alone, but he didn’t want to sound too harsh toward the blue haired girl.

 

            “Okay…I’ll go…just tell me if you need anything, I’ll be in the kitchen and living room…please take care Sasori…” and she left, leaving the depressed puppet alone in the darkness of the sunset.

 

            Why Deidara? I guess this is what you have to do for me to admit my feelings toward you...but this strategy seems harsh…..I need you Dei…please...come back….

           

 

-----------------------------------Deidara’s POV-----------------------------------------------  

 

 

            “Can I help you?” said the clerk of a hotel, as Deidara walked into the building.

 

            “I need a room”

 

            “How many days would you like to stay?” said the clerk with the name ‘Missy Paige’ printed in big letters on her name tag.

 

 

            “Four, hmm” Deidara walked in the direction of the desk, getting out some money. “How much would that cost?”

 

            “$240.00 dollars. Your stay also includes free breakfast” she smiled at him, waiting patently for Deidara to pay.

 

            “Okay, un. Here you go” and the blonde paid the cash. Damn, I’m running out of money! I should have brought more, but I just wanted out of there…

 

            “Thank you sir, now may I have your name?” Missy said, as she typed in the amount of the cost in the cash register, then giving the change and receipt to the artist.

           

            “Deidara Iwa.”

 

            “Okay, your room number is 207. Here is your key. If you have any problems or questions, just call the front lobby. Have a great stay!” she gave the required ‘work’ speech, and then Deidara walked away and got on the elevator. Soon he was in his room, laying down, resting from his long trip.

 

            He sighed “This sucks, having to leave the place that I called home, but it’s was for the best……..” he closed his eyes, once more, as he lay on the hotel bed, trying to clear his mind. Every time he done this, it had the opposite affect, and just makes him think about Sasori and what he did to him. “Why does this have to be so hard? He doesn’t even like me!!! Deidara probably hates me by now, yeah….Life is pointless, un……..” he talked with frustration, soon drifting off to what seemed like an endless nightmare.

 

 

---------------------------------Sasori’s POV, 6 days later--------------------------------------

                                               

           

            Sasori was in the living room, alone.  Everybody else was on a mission except for Itachi, Pain and himself. Even Konan was on a mission, which was rare, considering that she’s the Akatsuki’s angel.

 

            “I-I wonder if Deidara’s alright….I just d-don’t know what to do anymore…” Sasori has been going over the same thing to himself for the past 5 days. “I wish there was something that I could do…I feel so useless….” Sasori stared at the floor, ignoring the TV program that was on. “I wish there were someone to talk to…but who?”

 

            “Sasori? Who are you talking to?” Itachi walked into the room and sat down beside the depressed redhead.

 

            “I don’t know. Anybody who will listen, I guess.” Sasori sighed, and looked at Itachi.

 

            “This isn’t like you, Akasuna. Seriously, what’s with you?” Itachi said with confusion.

 

            “Please don’t tell anybody ok?” Ita nodded. “Good, well D-Deidara ran from the Akatsuki….It’s all because of me….”

 

            “What did you do?” the weasel asked.

 

            “U-um………it wasn’t me who started this whole thing……..”

            “Did Deidara start it?” Itachi pried.

 

            “Y-yeah………”and Saso’s face turned red and he turned so he couldn’t see.

 

            “Can you please explain the whole story? It’s really confusing when you go bit by bit…and I won’t tell a soul”

 

            “I-I guess….it’s sort of long…” the redhead wanted to skip that part, but yet again, he wanted to share it with someone.

 

           
”Don’t worry, I have a lot of time on my hands, so it won’t bother me, but you don’t have to tell if you really don’t want to” Ita could read people really well, and he knew Sasori didn’t actually want to share whatever was bothering him the most.

 

            “I-it’s alright….I’ll tell you….” And Sasori started the story out from the very beginning of it…. to the end, when he found out Deidara was gone.

 

 

 

            “So that’s what you’ve been keeping to yourself…I don’t think it were your fault Dei left…I’m not for sure he had his reasons….” Itachi sighed. “You do understand the punishment for leaving the Akatsuki organization, correct?” Sasori nodded. “Did you tell Deidara when he joined?”

           

            Sasori went wide-eyed. “What should I do? There’s got to be something!”

 

            “……….I don’t want to be the one to tell you this, Sasori…..” Itachi’s voice got even more serious.

 

            “What is it???” Sasori said, worriedly.

 

            “……..with Zetsu gone…..he's probably on a mission…..to….” Itachi looked at Sasori with compassion.

 

            Sasori gasped and started feeling dizzy. “No!” tears started to form, and then streaked across the puppet’s cheek.

 

            “….I’m sorry to say….but Zetsu is probably….disposing of Deidara right now…..”

 

            “NO!” Sasori broke down to the floor and tears raced across his face, and then fell to the rug that was beneath him. He just sat there, crying. “This can’t be happening….no….no….” then he punched the floor, but he still felt as torn as he was before. He felt as if the world was closing in on him, and he started to hyperventilate. NO! Why this?! NO!!! Then he was barely breathing. He tried to talk, but just some mumbles came out.

           

            He got to the point where he quit breathing al together, then the cold blackness consumed his vision, and he fell over and fainted. Deidara, I’m sorry. I should have….
