Flight on a paper smooth bird; my inner self is unfolding once again.
(part 2)
I sat down and pulled the cloak around me, trying to stay warm. We traveled in silence at first but then I curiously said, "Aren't you cold?" He came and sat next to me, and tilted his head to the side.
"Just a tad but I can live with it, un. Plus, I let you use my cloak to keep warm, un." I shivered and said, "I hate the cold… I can't live here much longer." He laughed and said, "Then why are you here, un?" "Well, I got lost just drifting trying to find a warm place... but it's November so almost everywhere I go is cold." I looked at him and pulled my thick white hair out of my eyes. He happily sighed and shook his head.
"What?"
"Leader was right, un. You do have the most peculiar eyes I have ever seen. And with the rings around your eyes, you look just like a wolf, un." I muttered.
"So you do know more than I thought." He looked smugly at me.
"I told you, un." Now interested I asked, "So how much do you know about my inner self?" He opened his mouth but then he couldn't push out words. I raised a thin eyebrow at him until he finally spoke.
"You have a wolf demon in you un…. It can be quite dangerous." I closed my eyes and sighed, I knew he didn't want to hurt me; if he did I would want to turn back. But I had asked and he told. He mused to himself but it was clear that he was trying to speak to me.
"We could extract it, but…"
"Preposterous!" I shot him a dirty look.
"So that's all you wanted from me. I should have known… oh well, if I am that stupid to go with you just to get slaughtered then I deserve it." He was trying to handle this gingerly.
"You're taking this the wrong way, sorry to say we don't want your demon, we wanted you to join us. That's it, un." He then started muttering under his breath. "So judgmental." I felt kind of bad for saying that, and so I slowly processed an explanation.
"…I only said that because the last time I joined someone they only wanted my power and I only wanted a place to belong. People only see me as a monster or a tool… never a person." He paused and looked at me, I was looking down with an emotionless face. I broke the silence by tightening up more and sighing.
"Well I guess I'll join, no going back. And even if you do kill me…. I wouldn't care. Every one hates me anyway." He looked confused. I lifted my head and looked at him. "I forgot to ask… but what is your name?" He looked happier now and cheerfully sang out, "My name is Deidara, un!" Half way closing my eyes I said, "That's a nice name." And gently flopped over and fell asleep. I was in my own little dream world for a while when I heard a slight humming sound, then felt things moving through my hair. I gently touched it, and felt warm smooth skin. I could tell that my head was on his lap. Making a murring noise I fell unconscious once more.
