Oh, she really had that clone thing ready, Midori thought pretty proud of herself. The Clone Technique was not that easy! Not easy at all and she had just pulled it off. Midori wanted to turn to Deidara and explain about it when the clone she made suddenly lashed out and punched her friend full in the face. Midori's mouth fell open. 

That was [i]not[/i] the agreement.

Deidara was her friend and the Hachibi knew that damn well. Deidara had always been there for her even though she had shut him out for a while. He had sticked with her, had helped to gather herself when she was lost and the Hachibi was [i]not[/i] allowed to punch him. [b]"Deidara..."[/b] She started, wanting to explain the situation, as he formed a clone as well. That one didn't punch her so that was good. He was not angry at her. [b]"I didn't -"[/b] Her attempts to continue speaking where cut off when Gyuki cut her off with his thoughts. 

[i]Why are you so mad at Deidara?!"[/i] She demanded instead of replying immediately. [i]He created the mist to help me fight against the poison. Is that a bad thing? I would consider that nice, just like you are helping me with the use of your chakra. So he doesn't need to [/i]shut[i] up because he is trying to help. I made a clone to go after the bird so maybe you could do that.[/i] She paused for a second to comtemplate about what he said about his chakra sustaining her. Suddenly she seemed to reach a conclusion. [i]Okay, I'll go back there. Reyna knows the place so she will be able to figure out where we are. You go after the bird. I'll keep Deidara safe. Tell me, can I transfer your chakra? He will need your help as well and you owe him now because you punched him.[/i]

Her hand searched for Deidara's and she send him a smile. [b]"Let's go. Follow me."[/b] She said as she started to drag him away from the poison as good as she possibly could.
