"Oi, oi! He's waking up!" a voice said from somewhere beside.
"Hey you okay?" A different voice talked now
The blonde squinted his eyes hard at the harsh white light. Instantly a heavy throbbing hit his body, specifically his head.
"Where am I, un?" The blonde managed to gasp out, his voice rough and raw.
"The hospital" the second voice talked. "Do you remember what happened to you? We found you beat and bloody in a cave by the beach"
Instantly the memories from that night hit Deidara in a wave. The rejection, the forced blow job, getting beat. It was to embarrassing to say so the blonde kept quiet. He tried to sit up but fell instantly back down with a fresh shock of pain. The blonde opened his eyes slowly and saw a pretty nurse leaning over him.
"Are you feeling any better, Hon?" She asked in a sweet voice.
"Un, Not really" He smiled then groaned at the pain from talking. Deidara gingerly lifted his arm to feel his head; there was a thick bandage where the intense throbbing was.
"You got pretty beat up last night, you have a slight concussion but other than that you came out with only bruises and cuts you should be good to go today." The nurse said. She handed him two small pills.
"Pain killers" She said. The blonde took them gratefully and swallowed them with a sip of water.
The teen sat up more slowly this time and looked around. He was in a plain white room in a very uncomfortable bed. His neck along with his chest and many other parts had bandages covering them. He glanced over to the side and saw a red headed teen and a teen with long black hair pulled loosely in to a ponytail.
"Who are you, un?" The pain was slowly ebbing away with the painkillers.
"I'm Sasori, and this is Itachi" The red head said and in turn pointed to the black haired teen.
"why are you still here?"
"We found you all bloody and wanted to see how you were doing, is that so bad?" Sasori said.
"not really, un…Uh thanks for bringing me here"
"Do you think you are well enough to be able to leave soon?" The nurse asked nicely.
"Yes, un" Deidara said. He slowly turned sideways off the bed, ignoring the pain, and slid off. Taking a few steps holding the bed then letting go when he got his balance.
"Where do you live? We can give you a drive" Itachi asked. Deidara quickly told him the street name and number. They signed a few sheets at the front and left out the automatic doors.
'Thank god for free health care' Deidara thought. The car rolled along, the engine purred softly. The closer they got to Deidara's house the shabbier they got. The houses slowly turned from nice upscale houses to townhouses, till the car finally got to the worst part of the area. The walls were assaulted with graffiti, the cement gray buildings looming ominously over the cracking street. Itachi looked around at the people walking by. He noticed a man selling drugs and gangs hiding in dark alleys. The sky was starting to set again and the dust in the air intensified the blood red color of the setting sun.
Sasori made a final turn before they got to an old four-story building. There were plants growing up the "house" and it seemed as if they were engulfing it. The gray walls were cracked and most of the windows had been boarded up. Sasori stopped the car and turned his head to the backseat, which held Deidara.
"If you ever need us I can give you our address." Sasori said, holding out a white paper with black pen marks on it.
"wow, thanks, un. You really helped me out there, you don't need to do this, un" Deidara chuckled nervously.
"No, it's fine" Itachi turned and talked. "I hope to see you again" Deidara opened the door and stepped out of the car.
'Wow, they were awfully nice, un" He reached the wooden door and unlocked it. Deidara stepped around some clothes and walked through the small dirty room stopping to open one of the only windows not boarded up. The blonde stepped away from the window and heard a loud crash.
"Damn little cock sucker." He heard someone mutter angrily from the other room.
"Hidan I'm back" Deidara sighed and stepped to the room. A colossal mess greeted him as he walked in to Hidan's room.
"Oi, fucker where have you been? Were you getting shagged by some more old homo bastards?" Hidan asked in a joking tone. One thing that was interesting about Hidan was his natural glossy white hair and vibrant violet eyes…And his creative use of swear words. Deidara gave him a death glare as he stepped in to the room.
"What? Did ya get a sadistic old fucker?"
"Hidan hop off will you? And no, thank you very much, I decided to break it off with some old fart and he decided he was now violent and beat the shit out of me"
"Loser" Hidan snickered.
"Hey! Shut up you zealot,un. I'm doing this to support us. If it wasn't for me working my ass off you'd be a homeless bum,un" Deidara fumed angrily.
"Ok fine, Just shut the fuck up and stop running that mouth of yours" Deidara sighed and said something that sounded somewhere along the lines of fucking little bastard.
The blonde walked to his bedroom. It wasn't a far walk seeing as how the only livable space was basically the size of a shed. There was only a tiny bathroom that barley fit a shower and toilet, two rooms and a kitchen. He walked to his bed and dropped down on to the mattress on the floor. The teen cringed in pain as the landed, the impact shooting a wave of pain. He looked at his body in the cracked mirror on the floor.
"Damn,un. That guy got me pretty good." He said taking off the bandage on his neck and inspecting the wound. He slowly peeled off every bandage on his body, what was left of him was bruised and scratched.
"Oi, Hidan what day is it today. and time, un?" The blonde asked, flopping down on his back. Golden hair spread like a halo around him.
"8:00 pm and..Uhh…uhm…I think its Saturday?" Hidan answered his voice rising slightly at the end of the sentence, making it seem as if he was the one asking a question.
"Hmm, un. Works for me, I'm going out. Have fun alone, un." Deidara sat up from the bed and walked to his closet while taking his shirt off. He grabbed a plain white shirt, one that a customer bought him, and buttoned it up. He shimmied his jeans off and traded them for a clean pair.
"Ok I'm off, un" Deidara shouted while he ran down the hall. He walked down the black asphalt of the road humming a tune at random. After 10 minutes of walking he reached his destination.
'The one place I enjoy being at' He sighed to himself. The temperature had dropped when it got dark and now the blonde was starting to get cold. He walked in to the park. The green grass softly cushioned his steps. The blonde teen sat at a bench by a beautiful water fountain. It was his favorite place. A gorgeous water nymph lay on a rock. Her Body pushed out, supported by her hands.
'Kind of like the little mermaid' Deidara chuckled at the thought. Her Long hair covered her bare chest and her legs crossed ever so elegantly. The nymphs long pointed ears poked out from the waves of hair, and the locks curled softly around her face. Her eyes were closed in bliss and her mouth parted slightly. She looked as if she were in paradise. On the other side of the rock sat a second nymph, this one was brushing her hair with long webbed fingers. Her eyes were open, staring enviously at the other beautiful woman.
'If only I could be in the paradise that those water girls were in' The teen thought. He was abruptly jerked back in to reality when two passing men laughed loudly and obnoxiously. Obviously drunk.
"Oi, oi, kakashi look at that girl she is smokin'!" A white haired man stated loudly pointing at Deidara.
"Hmm, I would so tap that" The other man said in a drunken slur. The two men started to wobble towards the blonde teen. Deidara stood up and walked towards the men, clearly mad that they mistook him for a girl.
"Hello sweetie. Want to join ol' Jiraiya here tonight?" The man with long spiky white hair said.
"I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I'm a man, un" The teen stated plainly.
"oh, who cares your still cute" The second man said, he also had spiky white hair but he had a bandana around his forehead slightly covering his one eye. He made a grab for the blonde.
"please go away, un" Deidara slapped the hand away.
"Oi, Jiraiya she's no fun"
"I told you, un. I'm not a girl" The longhaired teen started to back away as the white haired duo started to advance. He found himself against the edge of the fountain.
"aw come on it'll be fun, I promise" The long spiky haired man said. He grabbed for the teen again. Deidara tried to take another step back but instead fell in to the water.
"Hey! Look what you've done Jiraiya now she won't play with us!" The man pouted like an idiot.
"Come on let's go then. No fun at all" The two white haired men finally left.
"ugh, damn now I'm all wet, un…Oh well… I guess I'll just lie on the grass, un…Well if I die not like any one will miss me…that old bastard was right, un" The teen chuckled humorously to himself. "Might as well sing till the end as well, un" He got out of the fountain, soaking wet, and laid himself out on the grass. His wet locks clinging to his body. The teen opened his freezing lips and started to sing one of his favorite songs.
Life is but a dream
Drifting on a stream, a stream
Consciously it seems
All of what remains
Ego Brain
Man made shame,
Shame, love after it rains
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the Fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared, that love prevails over all.
The blonde haired teen felt his hands slowly go numb. He sort of like the prickling sensation of it:/w
ww./s/system+of+a+down/ego+brain_ ]
I am just a man
Fighting other men
For land, for land
While I turn to sand
In spite of the pain
Ego Brain
Man made shame,
Shame, love after it rains
Now he couldn't feel his legs, the wind blew cold air over his numbing body. He smiled to himself as his hair produced a tickling feeling as is wetly slid off his cheek.
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the Fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared, that love prevails over all.
Deidara closed his eyes and watched the colors behind his eyelids. He could hardly feel his body anymore. His lips the only real thing functioning now.
All of what remains
Ego Brain
Man made shame,
Shame, love after it rains
He tried twitching his finger. Nothing.
'This is it' The teen smiled to himself, his lyrics getting softer and softer yet as his whole body started to shut down. 'Hidan can take care of himself. I bet he'll think me a loser when he hears how I died.'
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the Fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared, that love prevails over all.
One last shudder of cold took his body before he passed out from sleep depravation and the cold.
