~Deidara's POV~

Sasori and I were called into Pein's office. What other bull could be pulled through now? "First off, you are no longer on leave Sasori." He stated. Sasori nodded with a bored face. "Second, I have an important mission for the both of you. You are to travel to the Land Hidden in the Snow and gain in tell on the land." My fist gripped behind my back. "also, you are to record the progress of Buru's and Aka's mission so far. Should be simple enough." The insides of my cheeks were bit so hard that a small pool of blood formed on my tongue. We nodded and with a wave of the hand, we were dismissed. Sasori and I sipped out of the dark office quickly and into the hallway. His face flickering with annoyment. "What a drag, hm." I growled. his gaze locked with mine. "At least we get a chance to tell them what for." He resorted as we made our way to our room. "In the like, hm." I muttered packing a bag of all my things and one other object. Her journal. Even though I was still pissed she didn't say goodbye in person, I wasn't a complete monster. Was I?

~Your POV~

It's been mostly smooth sailing over the past couple days. We got to know the princes more now. Nicaara was the wild, crazy one who loved to play pranks. While Micaara was the quieter one who would rather reed than go outside. Or play some music. "Noooo, I don't know how to play!" I wined as he sat me on the piano bench. "I'm going to teach you then." He smiled slightly taking  seat next to me. "The only thing I know how to play is 'Mary Had A Little lamb'." He rolled hs eyes and strached his arms around my body. So his fingers overlapped mine. The heat from my cheeks was boiling. "Just playafew notes and..." Slowly, He began to guide my fingers across the ivory keys. A heavenly tune rining though my ears. It felt so familiar, like it was suppose to be like this. I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear as we filled the music room with notes and songs f various styles. From Jazz to Classical. It was so...perfict. Almost. I couldn't help but feel a pair of eyes staring at us the whole time. 'Probably just Aka spying on us or something.' I reassured myself. But was it something else?

~Deidara's POV~

No. This couldn't be happening. It just....couldn't. "That...b^stard, hm." I growled under my breath. "Come on Deidara." Sasori ordered. With one last look, I followed the puppet master away from the mansion and to the public streets. It felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. Thrown against a wall and grinded until it was nothing but blood and mashed up meat. A hand was placed on my shoulder. I looked at Sasori out of the corner of my eye. "Get over it." He resorted with a furrowed brow. The gentle snowflakes landed on my coat, but soon melted away. "That may have been the nicest thing you've ever said to me Sasori Dana, hm." I smirked. Suddenly I was knocked upside my head. "Don't get used to it brat." He resorted with a smirk. My eyes rolled when I spotted something out of the corner of my eye. "I think we should turn around, hm." I said starting to pull him off, but it was too late. There he stood frozen in place. Stairingstrait across the street. There sat Aka and prince Nicaara out on a snow covered bench, slowly leaning in closer. His hands gripped into tight fists. "Dana..." He turned and glared at me. "I'm a puppet, Deidara. I can't feel anything." With that he walkd off. Kicking a pebble down the sidewalk through the busy shoppers. The pain in my heart. I wonder if he could still feel a human heart break, even though he's an emotionless puppet.

>>Evening>>

I was sitting in my hotel room, waiting for Sasori to return after walking off like that. For the first time in my life, I actually knew what it felt like to be nothing. Like I wasn't even there anymore. Suddenly the door creaked open as the redhead slipped inside. Snow covering his clothes. He must of been outside this whole time. "Hey." I said. He took a long pause before he said, "Hey.", back. It was silent between us. His body flopped onto the soft mattress of the other bed. I knew he didn’t want to talk about it. I didn’t myself. So, I slipped under the covers and flicked off the light. Drooping my eyes closed till I quickly fell fast asleep.
