Prologue

The Last Night

It was a warm summer's evening and we were hanging out outside. I was sitting on the ground next to Sasori, snickering as Hidan's proposal to the Leader kept on getting shot down. The Leader had recently banned beer from our hideout because of a little "incident" that happened when we all got drunk. We weren't allowed to drink ever again. I didn't really mind, I'd rather chew on clay anyway. But Hidan was throwing a fit. He loved beer and he wanted it back.

"COME ON YOU F*CKING SON OF A B*THCH!" he yelled.

"Nope." The Leader casually said. He turned his back to Hidan and walked off. He sat down on the ground next to Konan. They had gotten married only a month ago.

"Hey, Hidan," I yelled, "Why are you complaining about not having beer when you drink blood more than anything anyway, un?!"

He just gave me a nasty look and sat down right were he stood, mumbling curses under his breath. I laughed and rested my head on Sasori's shoulder. His left wing twitched and he stifled a bit. I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around him. It was obvious that he wasn't in a playful mood at the moment, but not wanting to disappoint me, he started putting his cord into my pants.

"Sasori, Deidara, no sex on the front lawn!"

We jumped, and I looked up, the Leader was looking at me with a straight face. Like we haven't done it somewhere worse before! But if we couldn't have sex here, we could make out. So we did. I could hear Hidan's loud grown at the sight of it. He hated gooshy-gooshy love stuff. A

After that, we all watched the sun set and the stars come out. I noticed how fixed Kakuzu's eyes were on the stars. Who knew a money man could be so focused on something in nature?

We all went inside and went to our rooms. I crawled under the covers of my bed and looked over to Sasori. He looked concerned.

"Is something wrong, Danna, un?" I asked.

"…It's just…" he said slowly. "I have this weird feeling that something really bad is about to happen… really soon…"

"How soon?" I asked "How bad?"

"I don't know." He said. "I just don't know…"

I went to bed with a great uneasiness that night. When Sasori had feelings like this, they were usually right… How bad would it be? When would it happen? I fell asleep unaware of bad, and how soon it would be…
