Arriving at the Base...

----------------------------

Upon news of Deidara's disappearance, Itachi arrived at the base in time to hear more of the news. Apparently Deidara had been located, from what Itachi heard.

He quietly composed himself and let a blank facade fall upon his face. He was expressionless, emotionless, and distant...as usual around Akatsuki. The base was quiet and it seemed that most of the members were out, tending to their own important business. As he walked down the halls of the base, passed closed doors, he managed to hear the sound of a violin playing.

"..Music?.., Itachi thought curiously. '..When was music ever heard in Akatsuki?..and..singing..?' Itachi knew he had been gone a long time, for things seemed to be changing more often. He didn't let his thoughts appear on his face though. If anyone were to look at him, they would not know what he was thinking at all.

He suddenly heard Leader-sama calling out for assistance.

"Quick, someone help me prepare the O.R.; They found Deidara."

Itachi walked up to Pain calmly. "..Where has Deidara-san been located?" he asked.
