I personally love Tobi you know. I was a little upset to find out he was just acting :( Don't hate me I just miss the old Tobi as he was so fun and childish, but I love Obito too so I guess I shouldn't complain. Anywy I had to put Tobi and Deidara scenes in this as I think they are so hilarious. :D Enjoy reading! :P

The silence on our walk was warmly welcomed and I was starting to feel very peaceful until I heard, "Hey, Hey, Hey! Deidara look at that, a dumpling shop let's take a breather can we, can we?" Tobi interrupted the welcomed silence, as usual. "We've been walking all day, I'm totally exhausted!" Tobi yelled as he danced about on the spot waving his arms in an over dramatic manner. He started laughing hysterically and ran towards the dango shop. I turned to look at Deidara, who was getting just as sick of having him around as I was. "You don't look all that exhausted, un" I heard him mutter causing me to giggle.

"Oh come on Dei, he has a point we all could use a rest. You don't have to become the responsible one just because I'm younger and Tobi acts like a kid" I elbowed him trying to get him to cheer up. He sighed and smiled heading towards the shop too.

"You're like a four-year old sometimes you know that, yeah?" he asked Tobi sighing at his antics. I smiled and suppressed a laugh.

"Aw what's the rush we're trying to catch one of the tailed beasts, but we don't even know where it is. What's it gonna hurt if we kick back for a bit?" Deidara seemed to relax agreeing with him and becoming slightly happy at the idea of resting for a bit. I looked over to Tobi knowing he was going to say something stupid in a minute which would cause Deidara to get annoyed again. "By the way, which one are we after again?" and there it was. Deidara tensed up again and exploded with anger.

"THE THREE TAILS!" he yelled. I sighed and face-palmed at how easy it was for Tobi to get under his skin.

"First we find him, then we catch him, leave it to Tobi. Okey dokey?" the way Tobi said that made me feel kinda creeped out, but I just looked behind me as I noticed the old lady coming with our food. She looked like she was struggling so I got up to help her. She smiled and started thanking me. "Right?" Tobi tried to convince Deidara when I returned.

"Here we go dumplings for three" the lady interrupted and I handed some to Dei while she set some down for Tobi. "Thank you" I whispered while Tobi and Deidara ignored her, honestly they can be so rude sometimes. She nodded and I turned around to see Tobi laughing loudly and rubbing his hands together in a comical way.

"These look tasty lets see, lets see" I gave Deidara a weird look when I saw he was staring at Tobi intensely and not blinking. What's he doing?? Oh wait, Tobi has to remove his mask. I then found myself staring, not wanting to miss a thing. "Down the hatch" My heart raced and he started to pull his mask off and... I dropped my head instantly annoyed when he faced away from us. What the hell is he hiding anyway? He made some obnoxious eating noises. "That is good, the sauce is out of this world, not too sweet, not too salty. Mmm, what a masterpiece" Deidara and I just glared at him while eating our own food. "Aw that hit the spot, huh?". He suddenly gasped, "Wait!.. Deidara get a load of this".

"Hm?" Deidara asked turning around to see what he was pointing to. He was pointing behind us to really ugly clay pig that sat behind us and I sighed instantly knowing where this was going.

"That looks exactly like your work doesn't it? Could it be that your art style is.. a rip off?" he gasped the last part putting his hand over I'm guessing his mouth, but he had a mask on so who knows where it was. I looked over to Deidara and he was furious I could practically see steam raising off him and his face was a very bright red.

"Tobiiii" Deidara growled. Tobi then saw the look on his face and started to freak out and run away screaming. "You're dead!!!!!!" and with that Deidara was running after Tobi trying to blow him up. I sighed, but couldn't help laughing a little. Whoever is behind that mask really enjoys annoying Deidara. I went inside and paid the old woman and then left with the rest of my dumplings in my hand and left Deidara's behind. "wooooohooohooohooooo!" I heard Tobi squeal as he was blown half way across the forest. I walked beside Deidara and offered him the rest of my dumplings, he nodded and took it, after all he hadn't eaten very much of his as he ran off trying to kill Tobi. "Thanks, un" he said before taking a bite of it. He became very silent for the rest of the walk, especially when Tobi caught up to us and started saying absurd things.

"Look, I'm like a school girl in love with her professor!" he teased acting really girly with his finger to his lips. We just continued to walk by him. "What? Deidara look at me, you're not still mad are you? Let's be friends and hunt for the three tails together!" he exclaimed hoping Deidara would agree. Deidara just continued ignoring him. "Kootoni, do something!" he begged looking over to me and I just shrugged my shoulders looking away from him and continued to follow Deidara. "Why are you taking this so personally Deidara? Kootoni disrespected your art only two hours ago and you forgave her!" he whined and Deidara snapped.

"GO AWAY!" Deidara yelled. Tobi jumped back a bit pretending to be scared.

"Oh come on! If we don't get to work the others are gonna chew us out! Cut me some slack will you?" Tobi said still trying to convince him and failing. He then gasped and tried a different approach. "Hey I know! I'll let you take a peek under my mask" he sang and I looked over to Deidara to see if he was tempted like I was, but no he kept walking and shouted, "I said get lost!". He must be really mad to turn down that offer. Tobi has a point though, he did forgive me far quicker, but then again he liked me beforehand and he has never liked Tobi.

"Deidara! you keep acting so mean and I might leave for real!" Tobi threatened and we still continued walking only now we were heading in the opposite direction to him. "Awww guess I have no choice, I'll just go search all by my lonesome!" he huffed and went the other way. When Tobi was far from sight Deidara let out a sigh of relief. We continued walking in silence, but Deidara seemed happier now that Tobi was gone. We then came across another cross road from the last one we took, where we left Tobi.

"What do we do now?" I asked him and he sat in thought for a bit.

"We will have to split up, yeah. It will help us find it faster. Here, un" he said handing me a small clay bird. I looked at it, then back at him confused. He chuckled and started to explain himself. "When or if you find it, then throw this into the air and it will find me, un" I smiled and nodded as we went our separate ways.

I was starting to think I would never find the three tails as I had been walking for hours and still hadn't seen a thing. I was about to sit down to take a rest when I felt a familiar yet very different chakra near by. It was starting to come very close, very fast and when I turned around it was already behind me. "My, my, you've gotten a lot faster, huh Sasuke?" he glared down at me in response. He had definitely gotten taller than the last time we met he was now towering over me by a good two inches. He had learned to hide the emotions on his face now, probably to try and intimidate others or to piss off people like Deidara like his brother does. I smiled at the thought.

"Where's Itachi, Kootoni?" he demanded and before I could come up with a lie to avoid a fight he said, "And, don't try to lie to me, I know you know him. After all, you ran off with that Akatsuki member four years ago" I just looked up at him and gave him a sorrowful look. He is still obsessed with killing his brother even now and it's only going to cause him more pain especially if he ever finds out the truth.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that Sasuke" I said calmly and his facial expression didn't change at all and I couldn't help, but think that he didn't look as handsome now than when he did when he was younger. Then again it could be because he is wearing a cream colour instead of blue making him look very pale. I laughed inwardly to myself, Deidara was right I obsess over every little detail of people. I came back to reality just in time to see Sasuke activate his Sharingan and try to hit me with his sword, I jumped back barely missing the blade. Wow he has definitely gotten faster, if I was even one second out I would be in a serious condition by now.

"Then I guess I'll have to make you tell me" he replied calmly even though he was getting very angry. I saw his Sharingan contract and I noticed he had put me in a genjutsu. Unlucky for him as his was nowhere near as strong as Itachi's and Itachi had shown me how to break them. I broke free from it and for a brief second I saw Sasuke's eyes widen in shock. I smiled and couldn't help, but say, "You're not the only one to improve your skills Sasuke. I have been training hard as well". That earned a glare from him and I giggled missing his frequent dirty looks that I used to get. He ran forward and tried to strike me again, this time slicing right through my arm. I hissed in pain and jumped away from him. I think I will stay at mid to long range as even though my taijutsu has improved it's still no match for Sasuke and his speed. "I guess it's my turn to show you what I can do" I smiled at him. I started to make hand signs so I could use a water style jutsu, but before I could Sasuke had come up behind me and kicked me into a tree in front of me. I slowly slid down the truck of the tree and fell to my knees groaning at my now aching head. This is going to be harder than I thought.

I jumped to my feet and threw down a smoke bomb out of my bag, then I made a clone and hid in the trees hoping Sasuke hadn't seen me. The smoke cleared and my clone sent a fireball using the jutsu that Itachi had taught me straight at Sasuke. He dodged and looked incredibly pissed off. "So he's been training you, huh? That would explain why you are so good at detecting and releasing genjutsu. I guess he must care about you. Tell me where he is and I'll let you live" he coaxed me and I refused his offer knowing Itachi wasn't ready to fight him yet, he was still in the middle of preparations. "Fine then. You're obviously never going to talk, even if I try to force you so I guess I will just send him a message by killing you" he chuckled evilly. 'He has lost it' I couldn't help, but think as my clone dodged his fireball jutsu. I used my water release: violent water wave and sent it his direction while he went to strike my clone. My clone poofed away and then Sasuke went flying back into a rock when my jutsu hit him. He got up and glared at me. "I guess I underestimated you and let my guard down. I assure you that won't happen again" he boasted. He threw Shuriken my way and I dodged them, but wait they were coming back for me. I tried to get out of the way, but by doing that I got hit on my head causing my vision to start failing me and I fell to the ground. Damn, I have never seen something like that before, that's definitely a new one. I heard Sasuke behind me and tried to move or focus my vision, but it was no use and I couldn't concentrate so I wouldn't be able to use my chakra to heal it. "Don't worry Kootoni, you'll see you're precious Itachi soon" he scoffed.
