"It's a pity your plan makes us do things so inartistically, un." Deidara stated.

"I wanted to display some

of my art, un."

Sasori scoffed. "What? Those pyrotechnic techniques of yours aren't art. Art is a work of beauty.
Captured and left for posterity. Art is eternal."

I smacked my forehead. "Oh Jashin, here they go."

"Eternal beauty? Are you kidding me, un?" Deidara scoffed. "Look Danna, don't get me wrong. As a
fellow artist I respect your point of view, but true art is fleeting. Flash of beauty burning brightly and
then vanishing in a heartbeat, un."

I shook my head and looked at the others. "There's no stopping them when they're in one of these
arguments."

Kathryn giggled and hugged Deidara from behind. "They're so cute when they bicker like this."

"Exactly like an old married couple." I sighed.

"What did you say?" Sasori growled, looking at Deidara.

"I don't get it." Sakura stated. "What is with them?"

I shook my head. "Sweetie, you're better off not knowing. These two are a pain in the ass when they get
like this."

"You love it." Kathryn smiled.

"Apparently brat, one of us doesn't understand what true art is." Sasori stated.

"And that would be you, Danna un." Deidara said smartly.

Sasori shook his head. "Nonsense! Eternal beauty is what constitutes real art!"

"Don't be absurd, Danna un." Deidara sighed. "True art only lasts a moment, un."

I looked at Kathryn. "Sasori forgets about his policy of hating making people wait whenever he gets into
these moods."

Kathryn grinned. "But that's what makes Danna special." She eeped when she saw Naruto launch a giant
shuriken at us. However, Sasori deflected it lazily with his tail.

"Are you trying to make me angry Brat?" Sasori asked, still focusing on Deidara. I smacked my forehead
again.

"Hey easy Danna, un." Deidara stated. "No reason to get so touchy, yeah. Give me a break will ya?
Geezal un."

"I don't have to remind you what happens when I get angry do I?" Sasori asked.

I smirked. "He turns green, somehow spawns purple shorts, grows about five feet in every direction and
then goes on murderous rampages because he can't control his temper. Do not make him angry. You
wouldn't like him when he's angry."

Kathryn laughed. "Danna is not the Hulk Alice!"

"Could have fooled me with that goofy line he just used." I scoffed.

"Why don't you explain it to me again Deidara?" Sasori snarled.

Deidara chuckled and stood. "Art is one thing and one thing only, un." He was quiet for a moment as he
formed some clay in his hand, his free arm absently curling around Kathryn's waist as he did so. He
tossed the clay bird up into the air. "The explosion itself, un!"

He made a hand sign and the bird came to life. Once it made a strange bird noise and landed, Deidara
kissed Kathryn's cheek, and laughed at Sasori.

"It's not even in the same league as your disgusting puppet show, un." He laughed.

Sasori shot his tail at Deidara but stopped when he saw Kathryn's shocked face.

"Danna, don't hurt Dei." Kathryn whimpered, hugging Deidara.

Sasori frowned. "Move brat."

"Sasori, we need to focus." I stated. "You and Deidara had your argument and you can continue it later,
but right now, we have people waiting for your attention."

Sasori glanced at me. "Right."

"Dei, Kat, you know the plan. See to it that you follow it through to the very letter." I told them, glancing
at them. "Stay with Deidara Kathryn. I'll be with Sasori."

She nodded. "Okay."

"Situation number nineteen, plan Q." I told Sasori. A.K.A: Stall like shit until the appropriate time so I can
push the last stage of the plan into action.

"Got it." He growled. He looked at me. "You should stay back.

I nodded. "Yeah. Hey Deidara, Kathryn, don't go too far okay?"

"We won't un." Deidara assured me. He wrapped his arm around Kathryn's waist and jumped onto the
bird just as it picked up Gaara.

"Do not let him leave sight of the cavern Kathryn." I pressed.

"Okay." She said obediently.

I sighed. "Shall we Sasori?"

"Be sure that you stay out of the way. The others would kill me if something happened to you." Sasori
told me, pushing me back with his tail until he was satisfied with my safe distance.

I sighed and rolled my eyes as Deidara left the cave with Gaara and Kathryn, luring Naruto and Kakashi,
leaving Sakura and Chiyo with us.
