Hey everyone~! I know that someone has been wanting me to update this one, and actually I have been wanting to too. I have two chapters for this one ready right now, so please just be a little patient. Umm... Kirito, disclaimer please!

Kirito: Please tell me this isn't another Sword Art Online...

Dakota: No it is not. You can go as soon as the disclaimer is done, okay?

Kirito: Okay. Dakota-chan doesn't own Naruto in any way, shape, or form. And in honor of May 4th, May the fourth be with you.

Dakota: Thanks Kirito!

Dakota POV

When I woke up, I found myself in a bed. The room was dark and musty. "Must be in a cave somewhere..." I thought, trying to sit up-

"You might not want to do that yet, un."

My head snapped to the side. He was my age with long blonde hair and blue eyes. He had no hitai-ate on him that I could see.

"You looked like you would die there, un. Couldn't do that now, could I, un. You did, after all, lead those a stupid Iwa ANBU off my trail, un."

I found my voice finally, "So you must be the nuke nin they were after, huh. Deidara, right?"

"Thats me, un. So... who are you?"

"Isangi, Dakota." The expression on his face was priceless.

"So you're the lone survivor of the massacre. The one with so much power you couldn't be killed... un..."

"That's me, but I don't like my past."

"I get that, un. Kidnapped from my small village and forced to go to Iwa. They didn't want me to act up, so they took my family hostage, un."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because, we both have nobody left." He looked down at this. We are alike, but not the same. My family hated me, beat me, tried to kill me because they feared me, but he is right. He is alone. I am alone... I shouldn't trust him.

"I won't go explaining myself just because you did."

If he was upset about this, he didn't show it. "I'll bring up some more bandages in a few hours, un." And with that, he left.

Deidara POV:

I should have expected that, but I was stupid. Just like I was when I left.

Because of me, I lost my future,

Because of me, my family is dead,

But also because of me

Dakota is alive

She's weird. At first she looks like a spoiled rich girl who ran away from home. In some ways, I guess she was. I don't know what her past was like. I've heard so many stories. She ran away because she killed everyone in a fit of rage. Another one was that she seduced one of the assassins, killed after he killed everyone else, then killed him and ran. That one though was from some very drunk Chuunin. I didn't believe that. She's the same age as me. I just wanted her to know she can trust someone. We rouges have to stick together.

Normal POV:

He heard something shuffling behind him. On instinct, he took out a kunai and flung it in the direction of the noise. When he turned around, he saw Dakota standing there with a kunai frozen in an ice wave in front of her. He froze. She laughed, and our dear poor Deidara was falling hard for her now...

"Sorry, it'll take more than a kunai to get me." Deidara struggled to find his voice.

"Sorry..." He looked down.

She laughed again, and he couldn't get enough of it.

"Doesn't matter. You know how to make quite the guilt trip on people, you know? I'll tell you, but only if you'll be willing to listen, cuz I won't be repeating myself."

He just stared in amazement. She really was an odd person, an odd person with super fast healing abilities.

"I'll listen, but only if you sit down... un." He winced.

"Don't make that face. I like your little speech impediment."

He was bright red.

Dakota POV:

"Anyway," and I explained everything.

"Wow..." was the only thing he could say in the end. Neither of us said anything for a while, until he spoke again.

"You had to live... through all that?" He asked softly. I already had tears in my eyes from telling my story, but those seven words made the floodgates break. He drew me into his arms and let my cry. I guess I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, I was in bed, but he was right next to me. That, I guess, is what made me decide that it was okay to open up to someone. Okay to feel again. Okay to love, I guess.

The rest of the week, we got really close. Really, really close if you know what that means.(Going to keep this PG-13). We also watched many movies because I had a TV and DVD player in a scroll. One night we watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre... We didn't sleep that night, and I'll admit, I was afraid of anyone in a hockey goalie mask.. For many years too. But of course, all things must end. When he went out one day, he was confronted by people in black cloaks with red clouds on the, calling themselves Akatsuki. They said he had three days. We spent every minute together after that. He told me to leave before they came to get him, but I didn't want to go. He knocked me out and carried me to the outskirts of Konohagakure. He left me there with all my things, as well as a sealed scroll, that I still couldn't open. When I woke up, I was in Konoha Hospital, and I found out I had a meeting with the Hokage later that day.

Done~! One more for this one later today. Its the first nice hot weekend we've had all year, so I want to enjoy it somewhat. Lovies!

Reviews=Love!
