Hi guys! I actually got this idea whilst I was trying to go to take a nap but it ultimately kept bothering me and it will keep bothering me so here I am. It's different than my other story that I'm also doing so the people who like one might dislike the other. So let's get started, shall we?

-x-

Sasori:

I was never actually supposed to wake up, at least that's what they told me later. But who's they? It never was made clear to me, not even now, but I think they were what everyone would call progress. Blaringly and in your face, as if everything up until this point was fundamentally prehistoric that it was crude to the very essence. Simply because they were progress, the future for the visionaries. But I never saw that future. I saw constant present that didn't fit anywhere, the previous day wasn't called past, and the day after wasn't called future. Because I was never supposed to wake up.

But I did. The first sensation I will ever remember was feeling cold. So chilled that I had to open my eyes just to see why I was so cold. It was slow opening my eyes; I didn't know the command at first, so I just kept tugging inwardly on random vague sensations that wouldn't move. Eventually one worked and slowly my eyes began to open. I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to open my eyes again that I kept them wide open even when it burned.

I looked straight up because turning my head was another obstacle that I just wasn't ready for. It was a pearly white ceiling, maybe that was my 'white light into the world'. A ceiling.

A face peaked into my view, obscuring the whiteness with human's imperfections. She had short brown hair that lightly brushed her plump pink lips. Her dark eyes wide and thoughtful as she gazed down at me, her eyebrows furrowed, "… are you awake?"

I didn't want to blink, so my eyes just widened even more, both to keep from blinking and as a response. Was I really expected to speak full and complete responses? Maybe, after all they were progress, a word I was told repeatedly throughout every and any explanation ever told.

Her eyebrows visibly raised high up her forehead and she was gone from sight, "Lady Tsunade! He's awake!"

"Who's awake, Shizune? A patient? This better be good, I was working on synthetic cell growth and creation." A grumble was heard farther away, getting closer with every word. Soon the previous girl's face popped into view again along with another woman's face. This one was a light blonde with milky brown eyes, a lot colder than the other's eyes. That's okay though, warmth wasn't a sensation I was feeling at the moment. She pushed back the blonde hair that fell over her shoulder with a hand. "Oh my, are you awake?" I didn't respond again cause my eyes couldn't get any wider. "Blink in response if you understand." I understood but I was too afraid to blink, apparently I made a facial expression because her cold face softened. "It's okay; you'll be able to open your eyes again."

I guess that was my first moment of trust I ever felt? It was so miniscule but honestly it felt like I was being held suspended thousands of feet in the air and she was telling me I wouldn't fall. I blinked and much to my happiness I was able to open my eyes.

Both women's' facial expressions became shocked. The blonde murmured, "Hmm… interesting, seems like he's able to understand linguistics enough to respond and even able to feel emotions such as distress. Who knew…" She then looked back at me, "I'm going to help you up, but you're going to sit on your own. Then we're going to talk. Blink if you understand." I blinked, but how would I do what she wanted?

Two warm hands clasped my forearms and hefted me up. She began to let go and I started to lean back. She gripped my arms tighter. "No, sit. At the center of your body is a muscle, tighten the feeling there and you should be able to sit." Funny how when she let go I did what she wanted was able to sit. It was clear now that I was in a lab room, sitting on something akin to a table. "Watch me, when I move follow me with your eyes." She began to move and when I started to lose sight of her I was pleased very much that my head was able to move. Just for good measure I began bobbling my head all around feeling content at the control I was exerting on my body; after all I was sitting and moving my head. Progress.

The brunette to my left laughed lightly bringing a palm to her mouth, "Look, he's enjoying himself."

The blonde grinned too and once again pushed back her hair, this time in thought. "Seems like you're aware of what of vernacular words being spoken to you, now I want you respond." She saw my expression fall and smiled, "Don't worry from what I see it would be more of a surprise if you couldn't speak. Now who are you?"

I opened my mouth and closed it again, only to open it once more. I was testing the feeling. If I pressured the air and formed my thoughts into words then… "Am I somebody?"

The woman's eyes widened but then lowered in a frown she leaned back onto one of the machines behind her. "Before a few minutes ago, no you weren't. I would call you an experiment but we never got that far, a doctor that used to work here named Orochimaru created you then was fired for his illegal experiments, experiments much like yourself. We never picked up brainwaves, honestly soon enough we would dispose of you had you not awoken today." She thoughtfully crossed her arms, "I don't even know of his intentions… maybe it was something of an immortal container or something. He was obsessed with youth." She explained at my confused expression. She sighed and scratched her hair. "I'm not too sure what we should do with you to be frank."

I didn't know how to respond, not because I was sad, just didn't know. The brunette seemed to know though, "Put him with the other patients, Lady Tsunade! It will be great study material on how he can react and the environmental factors that plays a role in progression through human interaction and development."

Tsunade mused this over silently before agreeing she looked back at me. "Let me just run a few tests and we'll take you to your new room." I had no objections so I just sat there as she turned and sifted through the objects and papers on the machine behind her. She pulled out a needle and began attach it to an IV. While she did that the brunette began attaching sensors to my temples. Tsunade came over and stuck the needle in my arm, not even warning me of the pain, probably assuming I wouldn't mind. I didn't, it was a new sensation and I was happy to have felt it. We both watched the blood ink into the IV and could hear the other woman twiddling away at a computer. Once Tsunade was satisfied she pulled out the needle. She leaned over me to get a look at what the lady was doing, nodding to herself as the tapping noises slowed, she began to remove the sensors. "Okay, come along."

She began to walk away but I didn't follow. She turned around, waiting expectantly. "Can I walk?"

She mulled this over before shrugging, "You could do everything else so I don't see why not. Seems to me as if none of your muscles are atrophied, so it would be quite unexpected if your legs were."

That gave me a good enough explanation so I swiveled my feet over the edge and quietly pushed off. I stumbled a little, and maybe those extra movements helped me get used to movement. I righted myself up and looked up at Tsunade who was still patiently waiting. I stumbled a little over to her. She held out her hand that I immediately took. It felt so warm and alive, why didn't I feel like this? Why did I feel so cold? She began slowly leading me out of the lab and down a quiet hall, the only noises from her clacking heels against the smooth and polished floors. Another difference for us, my feet were bare and made no noise.

At the end of the hall was another hall running horizontal, she turned right and began walking down to sealed doors. She pulled up at a tag and held for the door to read; after a green light flashed the doors were pushed open by Tsunade's free hands. Every couple of yards there was a door (this hallway was shorter and the end was a big and open room filled various things) she would read the name tags quietly aloud, "Hidan and Kakuzu… Pein and Konan… Tobi and Zetsu… Itachi and Kisame… ahhh, here, this one only has one resident: Deidara. This will be your new room." Again she used the name tag to open this door. This time she allowed me to open it.

The room was pretty bare except for two beds and a person laying down reading from a book that was held in the air. The boy didn't even look up from our disturbance, "Deidara, this is your new roommate." Tsunade gave my hand a light squeeze before leaving quietly.

The kid finally leaned their head down, looking at me with cool blue eyes. "What's wrong with you, un?" His voice sounded very bored as if he didn't care. It was weird because up until this point everyone cared what was wrong with me. "What do you mean?"

He rolled his eyes before looking back at his book, "I mean what did these people do to you, un? What did they do to make you a freak?" As he spoke I watched him, he had long blond hair that was splayed across his bed and wore light cotton blue shirt and pants. His hands were gauzed up to his mid forearms.

That's when I noticed that he had labeled me, "Is that what I am? A freak?"

He looked back quirking an eyebrow, "Obviously, these geeks wouldn't care otherwise."

I tilted my head in consideration. "Oh, I see."

"Why are you still over there, un? What first time you've talked to someone, un?"

I considered this for a moment, "No, second actually."

His eyes widened and he readjusted himself to where he was propped on his bed. He looked at me with new interest, "What's your name?"

"I was told I didn't have one."

Deidara snorted at this, "Everyone has a name."

"I don't think they expected me to be anybody really."

His eyes narrowed again. This kid sure had a lot of facial expressions, kind of made me envious. "Then you'll be somebody to me. Danna, to show you're important to me."

I cocked my head to the side again, "Am I important?"

Again he snorted and rolled over on his bed to where his back was to me. "You are now."

I nodded slowly as I watched Deidara. He seemed to know what he was doing so I clambered into my own bed, feeling the softness that I've never felt before. To anybody else, even Deidara, it would've felt like a springy mattress. To me it felt like a new and better experience. I snuggled my nose into the bed and tried to close my eyes as he had done. I tried to even out my breathing and go to sleep. I couldn't. Turned out I wasn't capable of sleeping.

Man it's been such a slow Sunday, that all I've done is writing, I definitely feel more comfortable writing this just because of the style. Hopefully I'll update this soon! Maybe sooner if you guys reviewed it. ^_^

I hope you guys enjoyed it, it's getting late and I have to do chemistry. Reviewing would be great ^_^
