"I wish I could have been stronger.."

Rina:16

Katsu:17

Deidara:17

Upon waking suddenly a young woman found herself covered in a cold sweat, her long brown hair stuck to the side of her face as she glanced around slowly. "Damn.." she thought turning her face into the soft pillow. She could feel her heart still pounding within her chest, whatever she had dreamed up clearly startled her to an almost unreasonable degree. Dragging her nails into the sheets she inhaled slowly, this wasn't the first time it had happened...It had been like this for over four years, that day still haunted her. Why couldn't she just forget? Let it go, focus on taking revenge for her village.

Slowly a pair of arms found their way around the small waist of the ninja, but she didn't fight it simply closed her eyes. "Rina-chan..." the voice whispered softly pulling her closer till she felt a pair of lips against her left shoulder. Letting out a soft sigh Rina slowly turned herself over to her other side to be greeted by a pair of deep blue eyes, the man looked at her carefully as he pushed his hair away from his face before doing the same to her. "Dreaming again?" He whispered softly as he examined her face seemingly noting her damp skin.

Pushing away from him quickly Rina sat up swinging her legs over the side of the bed, "No," she muttered softly feeling his fingertips run across the bare skin of her back. Hunching over slightly she rested her elbows on her knees, her large emerald eyes narrowed to slits she was thinking long and hard. "Why did this have to happen..." she muttered fingertips that ran over her back slowly slipped to her hip before the arm hooked around her and pulled her back against him.

"It happened because he is crazy..." The man muttered softly as he traced a scar that ran from Rinas shoulder to her elbow on her right side. "Need I justify this fact to you?" His voice was cold, almost to cold. Shaking her head she looked up at him.

"No, Katsu.." Pushing away from him once more she caught the disappointed look in his eyes as she hopped out of the bed and made her way over to the dressed. She could feel his eyes burning into her, then he heard his in her ear. Katsu was silent, one moment he was in the bed the next his chest was pressed against her back. No wonder he was apart of the assassination core, "Ill kill him.." he whispered softly as he wrapped his arms protectively around her. "All those scars..." His voice was cold as he touched one that ran over her hips, "He caused them...and for that he has to pay..." Rina didn't dare defend her former comrade, though she knew for a fact he let her off easily. Unlike the rest of the squad he didn't blow her to bits...that counted as something in her book. He also spared Katsu, though he didn't know it he too could have been killed. Though she didn't want personal revenge, she did want to take him down for betraying his home...Deidara was one of the Anbus top priorities...Which made him Rinas and Katsus as well. Though his lack of activity made him more of a side job at this point.

"Enough of this.." She muttered softly tossing him his clothes before getting changed herself. "The mission begins in one hour we don't have time to be taking about what he did to me...We have other things to attend too..." Rina saw a slight eye roll come from but she simply ignored it... "I love you Rina-chan.." he whispered cool before touching her hair.

Shaking her head slowly Rina pulled away "Lets not mix pleasure with business," this response was pretty typical for her, though Katsu seemed to find his way into her home every day since their team mates out lash she had never once confirmed she had any feeling for him. Though him the mind of the dark haired male her consent to a number of endeavors indicated there was something...or he was simply an outlet for stress relief. Either or he was just happy he could keep her safe for the time being..
