A/N: This is my first story! Enjoy! Oh, and the chapters will be short. Please do not complain.
Warning: Mentioning of nudity? Hidan getting stabbed? ... The usual.

"Are we there yet?"
"For the last time, no, Tobi!" Deidara groaned, having lost his patience with the childish masked man. "We'll get there when we get there, un!"
"Tobi's tired," Tobi whined. "When will we get there, Sempai?"
"Soon, okay? Now shut up, un!" Deidara was furious at Pein. Why oh why did he have to send him on such a long trip with Tobi of all people?!
"Tobi forgot. Where are we going again?"
Why?!
"We have to check out some supposedly cursed springs. Not sure why Leader-sama insisted on it, it's probably going to be nothing, un! Then I'll have traveled all the way here with only you as company (not sure it can even be called that) for no reason at all! That's probably why he did it, un! Stupid-"
Tobi interrupted his Sempai. "Is that it?" he said, pointing to a secluded clearing with poles sticking out of the ground and steaming pools of water. Right next to it was a sign that said, "Jusenkyo Hot Springs"
"Yeah," Deidara confirmed, distracted from his rant. "Let's go check it out." With that, he started walking toward the springs. Tobi started running after him, calling "Wait for me, Sempai!"
Then he tripped and fell on Deidara's back, pushing him into a nearby spring.
"Sempai!" Tobi exclaimed, dancing around frantically. "Tobi will save you!"
He looked around for a second, slightly confused. "Wait, which one did Sempai fall in again? ... ... ... Oh well!" He leaped into the nearest spring, submerging himself underwater.
Deidara pulled himself out of the spring, gasping. "Tobi, you-" he started to growl, but stopped after noticing something funny with his voice. Since when was it so... High pitched?
He looked down with a feeling of dread pitting itself in his stomach. No... It couldn't be...
A scream sounded in the air.
Tobi broke through the surface of the water at hearing the scream. "Sempai?" he called- or at least tried to, but what came out instead was a bark. He held out his hand to look at... No, not hand...
A paw?
Tobi started whining, confused. Was he a... dog? How did that happen?
Inspecting his surroundings, he noticed that everything was giant now. He then saw Deidara crouched near a spring, soaking wet.
"Deidara-sempai!" he barked. Deidara broke from his stupor to see a small, plack puppy with... A lollipop mask? barking at him.
"... Tobi, un?" he asked hesitantly, wincing at his- now her- high voice.
Tobi barked in confirmation, then whined. Deidara didn't know if Tobi was trying to ask why he was a... girl *shudder*... now, or if he was just expressing his shock at the situation in whole.
"Toobiii, I'm going to kill you, un!" Deidara roared, grabbing Tobi's neck and putting him in a chokehold. Tobi whimpered and pawed frantically at her hands, trying to pull himself away from the furious guy-turned-girl.
"Look what you did to me, you idiot! I'm a girl now! A girl! You had to go and ruin everything, didn't you?! If you hadn't pushed me in, none of this would have happened, un! Now I'm stuck like this for who knows how long!" Deidara ranted while shaking poor Tobi back and forth, causing him to feel slightly sick. She finally just threw him into her supply bag and stormed out of the springs, grumbling to herself. "I'm getting out of this place! Stupid Leader, sending us on skewed missions like this. I want to kill him, un! Stupid Tobi..." and so on.
After a while, when she had calmed down a little bit, Deidara pulled the distressed Tobi out of her bag. "How are we going to get back to normal?" she asks. Tobi barks, and Deidara buries her head in her hands. "Never thought I'd see the day where I wished Tobi could talk, un," she muttered.
"Hello, travelers!" They hear a voice call out, and they look up to see a man waving at them. He was short, and on the chubby side, and was wearing a uniform of some sort. "Have you visited the Jusenkyo Hot Springs? They're the best training site in all of China! If you-"
Deidara grabbed his neck. "What's the problem with that place!" she shouted, shaking the man like she did to Tobi. "We fall in the spring and we turn into this! You'd better know a way to turn us back to normal, un!"
The man sweated as he felt something wet against his neck that almost felt like... a tongue? "I-I see. You've already been there. Well, to reverse a curse, all you have to do is pour hot water on yourself, but-"
Deidara didn't stay to listen to the rest. She threw the man aside, grabbed Tobi, and ran off. The man was yelling something about cold water, but the two cursed shinobi didn't hear anything else.
So, do you like it so far? I will have sporadic updates, but I will try to do it often. Please review!
