That night, the entire akatsuki gathered in the training field clearing. "I take it I'm about to find out why you colored your clay?" Kasumi asked. Deidara nodded, looking even more cheerful than before. He had randomly shaped colored clay. Everyone watched the sky as Deidara grabbed handfuls of sculptures, launched them into the sky, and allowed them to explode as beutiful shapes and colors. When he was finished and everyone was going inside, he said in a loving voice, "Kasi, wait a sec un! I have some made especially for you!"
As Kasumi sat back down and watched the sky, Deidara launched several claybombs into the midnight sky that exploded as beutiful hearts of different sizes and colors. His last one was different. It was a perfect picture of him leaning against a tree with Kasumi sleaping beside him, her head rested on his leg.
"You really are quite the artist" she said smiling. Deidara smiled too as she rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
