Mission One: Suspicion
Along the soaked highway, a lone car went speeding down it just a little over the speed limit around 7 o'clock at night. Only the driver and the passenger were in it, Deidara and Konan, they were quiet most of the time. The small Hawaiian Hula Dancer propped on a spring on the dashboard danced and jiggled as the car encountered bumps on the road, along with a small porcelain Ram tied to a braided string--it resembeled his zodiac--that swung overhead in the mirror. The woman shivered slightly.
"Cold?" Deidara asked, Konan shook her head. "It's only the summer, un..." His rough hand hovered over the ash tray as he turned the radio on. It started playing 'Dead!' by My Chemical Romance. "God, I hate that song." He tried switching stations for a few seconds before landing on his favorite song, he tried making his tone go higher. "...life in the fast lane, surely makes you lose your mind...life in the fast lane, everything, all the time..."
"The Eagles," scoffed Konan, the driver was taken aback. "You're a fan? . . ."
"I grew up listening to them, yeah . . ."
They were quiet again as the Eagles played quietly in the background.
"So what's up with you and Pein, hm? Zetsu said you got into a fight . . ."
"Nothing much," she lied, he raised an eyebrow and then coughed to mask his snort. "Just the usual disagreements . . ."
"If you want, you can move in with Sasori and me, un," he suggested sympathetically. ". . .if it gets any worse . . ."
"Uh . . . it's alright . . ."
". . .no, it's not, you haven't been yourself lately. . ."
The radio began to lose connection with the station, Deidara turned it off as they exited the freeway and entered the streets. When Deidara cautiously parked--it was crowded--in the parking lot of their apartment complex, he turned to Konan and stared hard at her,"Are you sure, hm?. . ."
"Yeah, I'm fine," she responded, getting irritated by his determination to get into her issues and possibly solve them himself. They got out of the car and made their way into the building of four floors, Deidara fallowed her to her apartment that was shared with Pein. "Thanks for driving me back . . ."
Deidara shrugged casually,"No problem, yeah . . . but . . ." He suddenly grabbed her left wrist, she began struggling against his grip but lost easily and reluctantly allowed him to roll up her sleeve. The sigh if her arm shocked him, there was an abnormally large burn mark. "Oh fuck no, that's it . . ." The rest he mumbled, his thoughts were already locked on to calling the Police and reporting the "abuse" Pein had afflicted on her. He knew better not start a scene that could get Konan into more problems. "Get your stuff and come over to my pad, I'll get Sasori to--"
"Deidara-san, Nagato didn't do this!" Konan nearly yelled at his face. "I'm telling you, I'm alright, I hadn't been getting enough sleep lately . . ."
"I'm trying to help--" Deidara shouted as well.
"No, just stop, I'm fine, nothing to worry about . . .honestly, my work's keeping me busy . . ." She took out her keys and unlocked her door. They failed to notice Pein sleeping on the couch with the television set on. Deidara leaned against the door frame, arms crossed as he glared at her. She turned to him after she placed her purse down and took off her jacket. "Get out . . ."
"Okey . . .I'll back off, don't come crying to me later, hmph." He rolled his eyes at her before slamming the door so hard, it made a picture of Pein and Konan fall to the hard wood floor, causing the glass to shatter. She heard him outside. "Shit."
"Shit's right," Konan cursed too as she picked up the pieces and threw them away, she brushed off the photo in order to set it down on the stand. She saw the back of Pein's head. "Sorry about that, Deidara-san's just being. . .Deidara. . .want me to make you something?" No answer, she didn't notice he was sleeping and continued to talk. "Ramen--no--we're out of it." She began shuffling through their small kitchen, making noise during the process. "Guess we're having take out then . . ." Quickly, Konan got to the phone book and took out her cell phone.
She took her seat behind Pein on the chair that she pulled out from under their wooden table.
". . .yeah, I'd like to order. . .um. . ." She looked over head to Pein. "Nagato, what do you want?. . ." He didn't respond again. "Nagato?. . .are you awake?" Konan slowly got up and crept around the couch. Her feet felt water on the floor so she approached carefully. She bent over to see his face. "Nagato?. . ." His head was down, she shook him and he fell over on his back to the floor. Her eyes widened as she gasped when she saw that his face was distorted, his mandible hung loosely from a single joint, and his eyes showed fear. Konan gave a scream that woke up the entire floor. Her cell phone fell out of her hand as she ran into the hallway crying and screaming in fright. "Deidara! Deidara-san!"
Apparently, she ran into Deidara himself as he was about enter his apartment, he glared at her,"What do you want? Did I say not to come crying to me-"
"N-Nagato's dead! S-someone k-killed him!"
His expression softened and he showed great concern,"What? You're kidding, yeah?" Sasori poked his head out of the gap between the door and the frame. Konan shook her head.
"What's going on?" Sasori asked calmly, curious of what Konan had to say.
"Call the Police, I'll go and check. Konan, stay with Sasori, I'll be back, un," Deidara instructed quickly, he dashed through the hallway until he made it to the apartment with the neglected door that was left ajar. He cautiously ventured inside, as if the killer might still be in the very scene. He checked the window, it was shut closed as usual. His eyes were set on the pair of feet that poked out from the edge of the couch. "Pein, you alright, hm?" He noted the wet floor as he grabbed the arm of the couch to balance himself. "Pein. . ."
And then Deidara found Pein. . .dead with the distorted face.
"What the fuck, un?"
He tried to ignore the face that sickened him greatly. . .
"Oh God. . ."
. . .and decided to look around the apartment. Nothing was out of the ordinary. . .except for the VHS that was on, he knew Pein never used it on a daily basis. Deidara walked around Pein and the coffee table and knelt in front of the VHS, he turned off the television before pressing the Eject button. The VHS handed him a blank video tape, he stared at it.
"Why isn't this labeled?" Deidara asked the tape, he turned to Pein as if he would be able to answer. Sighing, he got up--obviously, he had to watch his step--and made his way out of the apartment with the video tape tucked away under his shirt.
.:(-.-):.
"I just called the Police, they'll be arriving in ten minutes. . .I'll fix you a bed. . .unless you want to take the couch," Sasori offered to Konan who was sitting on his couch staring blankly at the television screen while still crying. "Konan. . ." He walked over to kneel down in front of her. "Are you going to be fine?"
Konan slowly shook her head 'no'.
"Do you want me to stay with you?"
Again, 'no'.
Sasori looked downcast, being unable to help Konan. He got up while saying,"You can take my room, I'll stay on the couch. . .let me go clean it up." And then he left her alone for a minute.
There was a moment of silence until the television screen flickered on with static, Konan wiped her eyes and reached for the remote to turn it off. It turned on again. She got up and unplugged it, it was still working. The screen suddenly showed a well in a forest, she stared at it as a girl came climbing out of it slowly with her leg reaching out first, then her body fallowed as she touched the ground. Her long hair covered her face and her white dressed was stained with dirt from being in the well. Water began seeping out of the screen as the girl made her way to the screen ever so slowly.
Konan backed away when the girl reached her goal and proceeded to climb out of the screen, hands first with her drenched body slithering out. Konan's knees buckled when she hit the couch, causing her to sit down with the girl towering over her. She pointed a nailess finger at Konan, who prepared screamed as loud as she could for help but was easily muffled within a second when she was instantly killed by sight. The girl slowly made her way back to the sceen and climbed back in. She walked to her well and went down it again as the screen went blank . . .
The song Deidara sings is "Life in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles
Let the chaos begin....
