(So, here's a winter festival in Konoha. It's snowing, and everyon is out enjoying themselves, going to the different vendors for food, games, and prizes! Also the perfect time for Akatsuki to infiltrate...Let's see!)
"Damn." A blonde-haired man muttered as he slipped through the mass of people walking down the snow covered road. It was Winter Festival time in Konoha, and it was his mission to gather information about the Kyuubi boy who lived there. Supposedly, there were other demon hosts living in the village as well, but the main, and strongest so far, was that annoying kitsune.
But whatever, he needed to stop thinking about random things and keep his eye out for anything suspicious. The Akatsuki member moaned silently, picking up a candied apple from a nearby vendor. He'd have to blend in better. Not like he didn't as of now or anything. The man was stuck wearing a purple kimono, because Kisame has agreed with Sasori that he'd look good in it. And besides, the colour matched his nails perfectly.
And Deidara had to agree with that. So, here the man was, sitting down in a random seat placed beside some random vendor, munching on a candied apple, but keeping his eyes out for something suspicious.
-----------
Sakai was bored as ever here at the festival. Not only was she bored, but people kept staring at her like she had soem sort of disease. "Well, if you didn't wear those hideous bandages around your eyes, people wouldn't know you were blind. You dolt." a snapping bark came from inside her mind. The blind girl scratched her head, sighing deeply. 'Kaku, shut your fat mouth.' the badger inside her head rumbled loudly, as the girl went back to walking. If you haven't guessed by now, Sakai is blind. but, you mght be wondering how she sees. Correct? The badger in her head helped with that. Sakai's kekkei genkai was the Mengatka no Jutsu, a justu that was always in effect. Sort of like Neji's Byakugan, the girl could see other people's chakra outlines running through their bodies. But, she could also see ther emotions, depending on the way the chakra changed colours, or brightened or dulled, or increased or decreased. Kaku helped with this because, being a badger demon, he had impeccable eyesight and the etra chakra needed to keep this eyesight activated at all times. So, this made Sakai even stranger to people. Meaning, well, she had no friends. Except Kaku, but he was pretty abusive.
Sakai had dressed up for this occasion, not that anyone had cared. Her black kimono didn't really stand out...It was the golden dragon on the side that brought it out. The girl loved this piece of clothing, and only wore it for occasions like this.
So, here walked Sakai, talking with Kaku as she made her way down the street.

OoC:: I plan to bring in Kakuzu when I'm not so tired. C: For now, Zetsu will have to do. Why?
Why in the name of everything he found perfectly good was he here? Why was he among these Konoha-nin? Why? Because Pein was an ass; that's why. A big fat ass who loved sending Zetsu on ridiculous missions such as this one where it required him to alter his appearance. Zetsu walked among the Konoha-nin in silence, allowing the small crowds to just push him around. For once, he actually appeared normal. Normal was.. not usual for the oreo-venus fly trap mix. Nonono. In fact, he was almost.. unrecognizable. He had no fly trap, and his skin was a creamy while colour. The only black on his body was a tattoo that adorned his left shoulder; but it was hidden anyway.
His hair was longer now, and reached a little past his middle back. It was the richest of green colours, and could make any patch of grass pale with envy. His eyes were still pure yellow, making this about the only thing he had decided not to change. Well, besides his gender. Yeah. He didn't see a need to change his gender for a damned intell mission. Then again, it wouldn't have been the first time he had to change his gender. Urgh. And his clothes made him pale with anger that he was forced to wear such a thing. He sported a green kimono that had pink flowers trailing along the bottom. If one were to just glance at him, they'd assume was was indeed a girl. Or most would, anyway. Only a few were observant enough to notice that he didn't have the chest required be of the female gender.
Grumbling something as he walked, Zetsu looked to the ground. This was ridiculous. He was starting to think Pein enjoyed causing Zetsu mental strife. In which, in all honesty, Pein was off in the distance laughing his ass off. Pfft. It was cold, so Zetsu had made sure his hands and face were the only thing exposed to the wind. Why the hell would there be a festival in winter? These people of the hidden leaf were insane or something. Holding a festival in winter. 'Let's celebrate the cold!' Yeah, that sounded just lovely.
Rolling his brilliant yellow eyes, Zetsu made his way through the crowd. He just wanted somewhere that he could sit down in peace until this whole thing was over.

Deidara figured someone other than himself had to be here...It wasn't common for Pein to send him out on missions alone. 'Probably sent Zetsu, since he hates these kind of missions...' the blonde thought, smiling. Well, it /would/ be funny to see Zetty in some form or fashion of 'normal' clothing and appearance.
What if Pein /had/ sent him here? The mssing-nin smirked, almost laughed. at this thought. Zetty, in the cold? Highly unlikely. Plants hated the cold! and of course the nin would have somehting to say that was sarcastic. Not Deidara hoped he was here, so he could get a laugh or two.
Setting the apple down, the blonde man decidd to stroll about, looking out for anything. It took him a while to find anything of intrest...
Until he saw a rather flat-chested, green-haired girl walking about. She seemed familiar to the man as he made a move to catch up.

Zetsu brought his arms to hug himself, body shivering from the cold. Good God, why in the world would one even think to walk around in these temperatures? Where was the sun when you needed it? WHY SUN? WHY DO YOU BETTRAAAYY MEEE?! D: .... Giving a deep sigh, Zetsu was completely unaware of the familiar blonde who was approaching from behind.
Maybe there'd be a cozy tea shop up ahead that he could settle in and stay until they closed up. Yeah, that'd be nice. Another shiver was sent down his spine as his abnormally petit body shook. Bahhumbug. He hated winter. Sobad. There was just.. no explanation as to how much he simply despised the cold season. Autumn was alright, but he would always love summer the best. Because he liked to soak up all of the sun he could get, to put it bluntly. But, didn't most plants like to do the same?

'To get info here, I'll have to be...nice.' Deidara sighed, racing to a nearby hot cocoa vendor. He saw how the Shemale Zetsu had shivered, so he got something to warm her up. It was a supposed way to get people to like you, or so Sasori-donna had convinced the blonde back at base. Lord knws how many times he'd had to go and get the man soemthing or other. Deidara decided to apply that but of history here, hoping to get good results.
But not too good of results. He REALLY didn't want to get raped anytime soon. The tought sent Dei into shivers as he now apporached the Shemale Zetsu.
"Might I interest you in something warm to drink?"

Zetsu turned his head, looking at Deidara. There was an almost wince that seemed to portray on his features. Why in the hell was Deidara here? Nnn. And was he.. Oh, forget it. He was offering something warm to drink, and that was enough to make Zetsu kneel at his feet and worship the man. Placing a forced smile upon his face, Zetsu looked Deidara in the eyes. " That'd be lovely, my good sir. " He spoke in a sincere voice, going along with it.
Might as well play along, hmm? There were people around, after all.

Ew. Was this gil /hittinh/ on him? Great...Deidara wanted to facepalm himself right about now, but didn't. It wasn't...polite. 'I'll kill this girl some other time. With a beautiful bang.' A smile played on his lips at the thought of exploding human. Yum. Kind of like that cat...
He shook off the pleasing thought and looked the girl in the eyes. "Yes...Anyways, what are you doing here?" A simple question. Boy, this girl sure had some freaky eyes...Kinda like Zetty.

Zetsu got the vibe that Deidara didn't quite get who exactly he was. Pfft. That was Deidara for you; slow like always. As Deidara asked the simple question, Zetsu pondered over how to answer it. He couldn't simply say, 'Oh, I'm here on a mission that helps hand-in-hand with Konohagakure no Sato's downfall! Go Akatsuki; hip-hip horaay!'
You know, Zetsu seemed to be a lot more outspoken when it came to thought rather than actually speaking. Hrm. " Just here to enjoy the celebrations, of course. How about you? " Seeing as there was an ANBU walking past at the moment, Zetsu's left eye twitched. Hosht. Thankfully, the ANBU seemed to ignore the two completely. Phew. Grabbing the drink that Deidara had offered, he slowly took a sip. Ah, that was nice.

"Quite. The celebrations..." Deidara muttered, shying down as the ANBU passed. "Me? I'm doing the same...Just enjoying my time. Hn." he sighed, eyes moving to Zetsu's chest. 'My my, what a flat chested girl...Unlike the Hokage of this village...Strange.' the man thought, just staring. He'd never really cared about the other gender much, because he hadn't interacted with them, unless to kill. So, this was the first male-female interaction he'd had in a while.
If only he knew who he was /really/ staring at. Boy, he'd be shocked.

A blank expression enveloped Zetsu's face as he noticed the blonde staring at his chest. 'You've got to be kidding me.' There was a brief roll of his eyes while Deidara stared. ' Hey, ass.hole. I'm up here. HERE. ' Zetsu did his best to resist his darker side's urge to punch Deidara. Alright, so the blondie did deserve it. .. Really badly.
How dense could Deidara be? I mean, how many people had eyes that were pure yellow and had no pupil what-so-ever? It was amazing Deidara hadn't died in battle yet, judging by his observing skills. Then again, this was coming from a master spy. Alright, he couldn't hold it back any longer.
" You're pitiful, Deidara. Simply pitiful. " He spoke quietly when he had spoken the name of the bomber. Chances were someone was bound to know who Deidara was. Pfft. Damn insane bomber.

Hosht.
Did he just say...Deidara? The bomb man looked up quickly, finally noticing the tone of voice and yellow eyes of the 'girl'. But that was no girl at all! It was...Zetty.
'Hi-hi Zetty." he muttered, bringing a polished hand to the back of his head to scratch nervously. "S-sorry about that." A large sweatdrop entered on his right temple, eyes creasing into an akward anime smile. Then he turned angry.
"What the hell are you doing here? Looking like...A normal girl?!" he hissed loudly, looking plant man up and down. "How was I supopsed to tell?!"

Zetsu listened to the blonde rant on and on, taking a long sip of the drink he had been offered not long ago. As soon as Deidara was finished speaking, he lowered the cup from his lips. With a clear of his throat, he gritted his teeth and his composed look turned to one that out rivaled Pein when he was angry. And it took a lot to beat that man when it came to angry expressions. " A normal girl? Would you rather me walk around with a venus fly trap encasing my head?! Do you know how easy that would give me off?! Maybe if you had some brains you'd be able to tell. "
He lowered his voice near the end, seeing as people were now begining to stare. He gave a sweet smile at the people, as in 'Yeah, he's an idiot and I'm using metaphors~' The all seemed to magically get the message and returned to what they were doing. His smile faded as he turned to look back at Deidara, a now amused expression showing on his face. Damn; the bomber really was quite the dunce, wasn't he?

"Hn...Whatever." Deidara muttered. Damn, Zetty was scary sometimes. "You scare me sometimes." Okay, he just /had/ to say that out loud. It was rather fitting now, anyways. And Zetsu's words had been true; He couldn't run around Konoha in his...Normal state. But did he have to look like a girl?
Wait...Deidara sighed loudly. he looked like one too. Damn again! Stupid Sasori-donna...The blonde did a facepalm this time, shaking his head and muttering curses.
[Short, but I'm tired. xD]

" Ch. Like you're one to talk. " Zetsu grumbled, taking one last sip of the sweet, warm beverage. Unfortunately, the cup was now empty. Urgh. " Damnit it's cold out here. I'm off to seek shelter. " He spoke, more to himself than anything. As the blonde face-palmed, Zetsu turned on his heel and started in the direction he had been walking. To be quite honest, he could care less what Deidara went and did. He, on the other hand, was going to find a warm enviorment to shelter in while waiting for this damned mission to be over with.
He bumped into a rather tall figure, eyes coming from the ground for a moment. Jinchuuriki. He didn't even have to look at the boy to tell he had the Kyuubi dwelling with him. Just the vibe that was sent; you could tell the Kyuubi and Uzumaki weren't getting along at the moment. In fact, he was so caught up in his thought that it seemed the Uzumaki didn't notice he had rammed into the fragile and tiny figure. Either that or he had bad manners. Pfft.
That was Konohagakure for you.

"Zetty! Wait up, hn." Deidara muttered the name as he finished his face palming only to see the other walk off. Of course he'd hate this mission...If was bitterly cold out. And he was a plant, so he'd want warmth. "We can go here." he stated, coming to the plant's side to point at the ramen shop that just happened to be nearby.
That's when he noticed the Kyuubi boy that ran into Zetsu. Strange, it didn't even seem that the kid had known he was there. Oh well, they found him. So they should keep tabs on him. Deidara, having clay already in his palm mouths, created a tiny bug that was used to attatch to the nape of his neck without him knowing. The blond sent the clay off on it's job, seeing if it would land.
And that's about the time that Sakai smacked into Zetsu and Deidara both. [Yes, sooo unlikely, but I find it funny on Zetty. ^^]
"Ow!" she muttered, blamng Kaku for the smack. ~I didn't do that. You did.~ "I did not!" she yelled at herself, smacking her head like the blonde had not too long ago. It was apprent that she was talking to herself as well.
Then she straightened up, bowing at Deidara and Zetsu. "Sorry about that." And started around them.
