Zetsu had carried Deidara for half the trip, deciding that it's best if the bomber sleeps off his depression. Tobi trailed along behind him, sniffing back tears every now and then.
"You alright, Tobi?" Zetsu asked as they set up camp for the night.
"Hai, Tobi's fine. Tobi just upset that Dei-san upset."
Zetsu nodded understandingly, pulling Tobi into a comforting hug, holding him there for a few minutes before letting go of him. "Now go start the fire, okay?"
"Okay, ZuZu-kun."
Tobi gathered the firewood, starting it and sitting down on the ground next to it. Zetsu seemed to be tired; he was struggling to keep his eyes open.
"Tobi can do lookout, ZuZu-kun," Tobi said. When Zetsu didnt reply nor did his eyes open Tobi crawled onto his lap, repeating his sentence. "Tobi said he can do lookout, ZuZu."
Zetsu nodded absent-mindedly, wrapping his arms around the small boy. Tobi suspected that the plantman didnt even realise what Tobi was saying.
Tobi looked over to where Deidara was sitting, propped up by a tree. Deidara's face was wet and his eyes were red. Tobi looked to the ground, saddened.
"Is Senpai still upset?" Tobi whispered.
Deidara snarled. "What does it fucking look like?" Deidara hissed.
Tobi flinched, fiddling nervously with his hands. "Tobi is sorry, Dei-senpai..."
Tobi moved closer to Zetsu, nervous, wanting to hide himself. He hugged Zetsu's arm to his body, whimpering quietly. He didnt stop whimpering until Deidara turned away, glaring at a tree behind him instead.
"S-senpai...?" Tobi whispered, trembling slightly. He flinched as Deidara snarled at him. "T-tobi said he... would do... lookout..."
"So?!" Deidara snapped, kicking at the dirt angrily.
"Tobi will go now." Tobi whispered to himself, tears streaming steadily down his cheek.
He could feel Deidara's eye on his back until he went out of sight, and when he felt he was farther enough away, he broke down into tears.
--LINEBREAK--
"Tobi?" Tobi grunted, not wanting to open his eyes; he only wanted to sleep. "Tobi! Wake up... Come on, we've gotta go, now, Tobi."
Tobi opened his eye, seeing Zetsu looking unusually worried. He yawned and rubbed the sleep from his eye.
"What's wrong, ZuZu-kun?" Tobi asked sleepily.
"There's several people nearing our campsite. They could be ANBU. We need to get out of here. Quickly pack everything up while I do the sleeping bags."
Tobi nodded, getting to his feet and shoving everything in the packs while Zetsu handled the sleeping bags. He was growing anxious; he could feel quite a few strange chakras nearing them and it was scaring him.
"ZuZu..." Tobi muttered.
Zetsu turned, seeing the anxiety in the boy's eyes. He dropped the bags and knelt down in front of Tobi, hugging him.
"It's going to be alright, Tobi," he tried to soothe. "You should get out of here, though. Yes. Tobi, please be a good boy and take Deidara away from here."
"No! ZuZu need Tobi's help!"
"Tobi, we'll be fine. We dont need your help, Tobi. Just get Deidara and get out of here. I can handle this on my own. I promise I'll catch up to you."
Tobi whimpered before nodding; he could see the urgency in Zetsu's eyes and it frightened him more than the chakras. He hurried to where Deidara was sitting against the tree and without asking for permission picked him up and carried him away as fast as he could.
--LINEBREAK--
Tobi felt he had ran far enough away and sat down, exhausted. Deidara hadnt stopped yelling at him and kicking him the entire trip and right now Tobi was stuffed. He was sore from Deidara's kicks and he had a throbbing headache from his yelling, and to make things worse, he had used up almost all his energy running.
"Stupid little shit, you are, Tobi," Deidara snarled. "Wait until I get my arms back, you... I'll make you wish you were never born, un!"
Tobi whimpered, cowering away. He knew Deidara was angry that Sasori had died and all Deidara could do was take his anger out on other people. Deidara wasnt normally like this much anymore.
"Senpai, Tobi just wants to make sure Senpai is okay..."
Deidara ignored Tobi and Tobi sighed, slumping down next to Deidara and closing his eye.
"Oi," Deidara growled, kicking Tobi. "Dont go to sleep, shithead! What am I supposed to do if someone attacks us! I dont have any arms, here, you know!"
Tobi frowned. "But... Tobi is very tired..."
"Stay awake and watch me, yeah!" Deidara shouted angrily.
Tobi flinched at the shout and reluctantly nodded. "Okay, senpai..." He whispered.
--LINEBREAK--
Zetsu had come to collect them again not long after Tobi had fallen back asleep without Deidara knowing. The trip back to the base was quiet and when they arrived Deidara was taken straight into Kakuzu's room so the Taki-nin could stitch him back together.
Pein watched Deidara leave, beckoning Zetsu and Tobi into his office. He sat down at the desk while Zetsu and Tobi stood.
"Sasori is dead, I presume?" he asked, sadness in his voice.
"Yes, sir."
"An unfortunate loss... Tragic, but the problem of who replaces him must be dealt with immediately, wouldnt you say so, Zetsu-kun?"
"Yes, sir."
"Any ideas?"
"..."
"ZuZu-kun?" Tobi nudged Zetsu gently, blushing.
Pein caught note of this behaviour. He smiled at Tobi. "Would you like to say anything, Tobi?"
Tobi blushed even more, hiding behind Zetsu. "..."
Pein chuckled, smiling at Tobi. Zetsu shifted from foot to foot nervously.
"Well," Zetsu began, "Tobi did show some interest of joining the Akatsuki once we found Sasori's ring..."
"But you're hesitant?" Pein noted.
"Yes, sir..."
"Why is that?"
"We're worried."
"About what?"
"About Tobi."
Pein chuckled again, standing up. "Dear Zetsu, are you not the one who has been training Tobi?"
"..."
"I know Tobi means the world to you, Zetsu, but all you can do is teach him the best you can and trust he'll find his way. I would like to make Tobi a member of the Akatsuki if that is alright with you, Zetsu. Of course, if you dont think he's quite ready just yet..."
Zetsu looked at Tobi and sighed. "...Okay, Pein-sama..."
Pein smiled. He reached out for Tobi's hand and slipped Sasori's ring on Tobi's thumb. "Make us proud, Tobi-kun."
Tobi smiled at Pein, hugging the leader tightly. "Thanks, Pein-sama!" he screeched. "Tobi cant wait to tell Deidara-senpai! Tobi is senpai's partner, now, right?!"
"Yes."
"Yay! Tobi gets to share a room with Dei-senpai!"
And with that, Tobi was gone. Zetsu wiped the tears away from his eyes at Tobi's excitement; did the boy even stop to think that this meant they would be spending a lot of time separated now?
Pein patted Zetsu's back gently. "I know, Zetsu. I know. This is going to be hard on you, but I'm sure Tobi will be okay. He's got Deidara to look out for him on missions now."
Zetsu shook his head. "But --"
"You're going to miss him altogether, arent you?"
"..."
"What makes you think he's going to just forget all about you, Zetsu? That's not the Tobi-kun I know. He loves you. He'll come back. Even if it is just for a quick hello and goodbye. But hello and goodbye are better than goodbye forever, right?"
"..."
"You'll survive. I'll give you a week off to... grieve, and if it makes you feel any better I'll make Tobi and Deidara spar for at least two weeks to learn to collaborate before I send them off, okay?"
Zetsu smiled at Pein. "Okay, leader... Thank you."
A/N Haha did you think this story was dead? Not a chance! I've just been busy on other stuff xD This one probably will be updated at snail's pace but I promise I wont abandon it :)
