Hi everyone. So, I know I shouldn't be starting even more stories, but this story is a request by LeviAckerman42. And I promised to start it before school starts so…. yeah… And hopefully I can update this one quickly because I'll only have about 1000 words a chapter rather than my usual 2000.
Hope you like it!
All I could do was stare. Before me lay the lifeless body of my danna. I wanted to believe that this wasn't real, that it was just some sick joke and he would get up any second now. But I'm not stupid. I could see where the two swords had pierced him right through his heart container, the only thing that could kill him. I should have seen this coming. After all, nothing lasts forever, especially life.
I knew all this yet for some reason, even though I could clearly see what lay before me, I guess I never expected this to actually happen. I always thought that I'd be the one to die before him.
"Danna, please wake up un…" I whispered, sinking down to my knees before him. I know it's useless, he's dead. Gone. But a small irrational part of me hoped for this all to be fake. Though seconds later, with no answer from my partner, that small sliver of hope died. I felt my throat tighten slightly and stinging sensation behind my eyes. I bit my lip and forced the tears back. I couldn't cry, I was an S-ranked missing nin, I was supposed to be strong and emotionless.
"Ah, Deidara, there you are, leader-san wants you back at the base," I heard I voice say from behind me. I sighed quietly before standing up and turning around to face Zetsu, with Tobi standing nearby him.
"Okay un," I answered, beginning to follow him back toward the base. The walk back was silent up until we entered leader-san's office to give the mission report.
"There you all are… Where is Sasori?" he asked, looking over all of us. Zetsu took a step forward to answer.
"He died sir." Pein gave a small nod and was about to speak when Tobi suddenly let out a loud gasp.
"Leader-san! If Sasori-san is dead does that mean that Tobi gets to be a full member!?" he shouted, jumping around childishly. I frowned, and looked away.
"…Yes Tobi… You will be Deidara's new partner. Why don't you go take him to Kakuzu so he can sew his arms back on," the leader said after a slight pause. Tobi, my partner? No, he will never be my partner, no one can replace Sasori-no-danna… I tried to glare at Tobi as he dragged me along down the hall, but I couldn't really even bother to do that.
"Tobi is going to talk to leader-san while Deidara-senpai gets his arms back on!" Tobi announced before skipping off down the hallway, after leaving me with Kakuzu, who now had my arms. He led me into the room, instructing me to sit in a chair off to the side before beginning to reattach my arms. It wasn't very long before he was done and I went back to my room.
Once inside, I locked the door and walked over to my side of the room, sinking down on the bed. As I gazed over at Sasori's side, everything exactly as it was before we left, I felt the tears trying to force themselves from my eyes again. Only this time I couldn't stop them.
. . . . .
I slowly blinked open my eyes and pushed myself up to a sitting position. I must have fallen asleep… I quickly looked away as Sasori's side of the room came into view. I couldn't look at it, if I did I'd probably end up crying again, except this time someone could walk in and see. And like I'd expected, Tobi came running into the room only moments later.
"Guess what Deidara-senpai! Guess what!" the masked idiot began to shout, jumping all around.
"What?" I asked.
"Tobi gets to move into your room on Sasori-san's side and then Deidara-senpai and Tobi can talk and hang out and-"
"Get out," I growled.
"What senpai?"
"Get out!" I shouted, and was satisfied when he finally fled from the room. I quickly walked up to the door and locked it shut. There was no way I was going to let him in here, no one had any right to move Sasori danna's things, not even me. He never liked anyone touching his stuff. I walked back over to my bed and laid back down, strangely tired again. It must be those pain killers Kakuzu gave me….
I know, the first chapter is a bit short, but because of the shortness I'll hopefully be able to have more frequent updates for this. Please review and tell me what you thought, and thanks for reading! ^_^
