i had received a fatal wound to the leg just above the knee. im strong so i would have been fine and able to get away but the kunai was tipped with poison. if only i had been more alert i would have seen that lucky shot but no. the people after me were here and now they were going to get me. i wouldn't even be able to say goodbye to dei. as i limp through the forest i cant help but think of dei 'can he handle the death of another family member?' i spot a tree and lean against it and wait for them. they were close enough that i could hear parts of their conversation so i thought i needed to give up. the poison was tugging me into unconsciousness so i leaned and they came. there were four of them and they said something like,
"finally that poison should have killed you by now." i really wasn't listening i was just thinking of dei and all the people i cared about. suddenly i saw black. i awoke feeling warmth and a voice... Deidara. what was he saying?
"please wake up. please i cant lose you too, un. please wake up." i so badly wanted to open my eyes and tell him i was ok but they wouldn't open and i couldn't speak. i heard the door open and a few steps getting closer then Sasori's voice,
"dei we need to leave. she'll be fine and she'll get better. she has the antidote in her system i injected it immediately after finding her she should theoretically be dead already. but she is strong. now dont keep me waiting." he said and i wondered what had happened. my guess was that after i had passed out sasori had found me and injected the antidote but i couldn't figure out how he had known i was a day away from the base and he couldn't have known exactly where i was.
"i knew she shouldn't have gone on that mission after that dream i had Danna, un" he said obviously crying. i wondered what dream when Sasori said,
"how could you have known that dream was real? none of us believed you and the only reason i went was to find you. by the way who were you fighting when i got there?"
"i don't know but they had my sister so i blew them up. probably wasn't the smartest think to do since i got burned and so did she, un" not crying anymore as far as i could tell.
"dei you've been sitting here for three days you need to move." Sasori said showing some worry for the younger boy.
"ill be fine Danna i just need to be with her for a while." i couldn't take this anymore i had to move i couldn't take the sorrow in his voice any longer. i contracted some muscles and got up on my elbows i finally opened my eyes and winced in pain from my forearm so i laid back down. but dei was already yelling about something.
i looked at my arm and it was completely covered in bandages. i looked up at a smiling dei and asked,
" what happened to my arm?" not able to remember an injury to my arm. dei was silent. i looked up at him and he was looking at the floor, a few small tear escaped his eye.
"what did i do to it Dei-Chan?" i asked and he just turned away and started to say something but he stopped. i then remembered that he said he burned me but that he was also burned. i looked him over and saw some bandages on his arm. i looked at his pained face a smiled slightly.
"it doesn't hurt that much." i said trying to comfort him. he hugged me and half cried half laughed into my shoulder. i looked up and saw that sasori was there staring at me in amazement. when i asked what he simply smiled and said,
"your amazing"
"i know" i said cocky like.
"i mean it by all means you should be dead but your just as strong as i remember," he said running a hand through his maroon hair.
"oh... um thanks sasori" i said blushing slightly. i thanked him for his antidote and he left i was still blushing. as soon as sasori left deidara cracked a cocky smile and started laughing.
"what?" i asked defensibly.
"you like my sasori no danna don't you, un?" he said slyly.
"n-no i don't" i stammer trying to act cool but failing miserably.
"yes you do i can tell by that blush your crushing on my danna."
"ok fine what if i am its not like he would go for me i mean hes just my friend." i said sadly.
"just tell him i mean whats the worst thing that can happen, un. i don't think a lot of his views are right but hes a good guy." he said.
"dont you have a mission to go on?" i ask trying to change the subject.
"hehe yeah im going with danna to the hidden cloud" he said getting up.
i got up and said "im coming too." he quickly looked at me.
"no sissy you have to stay here and heal,"
i activated my healing jutsu on my burns and the wound and looked at him.
"there happy? now let me see your arm." he extended it. i healed it i grabbed my bag and we headed out. pein tried objecting but i shot him a deadly glare. we left and i couldn't help but think about how much of a family the akatsuki was. deidara was my brother, tobi was the annoying and funny little brother that dei used to be, hidan was the over protective older brother, so was itachi, kakuzu was my awesome uncle, kisame was my cool cousin, pein was the father that i had always needed, konan was like my sister, zetsu was the awesome person that you don't know how your related but you don't complain, and sasori was my crush. it was true he was but still he was only ever going to see me as a friend. at least that's what i thought. by the time that mission was over my views would be completely different.
