Heres chapter 7 for you! Enjoy everyone! Please Read and Review! -
Sakura sighed in relief and depression as she waited the countless minutes in the closet, not moving, just waiting.
Deidaras P.O.V.
I waited. I waited for hours. At least it felt like hours. I listened. I made sure that Sakura was safe, for if I heard him going after her downstairs, I would jump in, without a second thought. I told her I would protect her, and damn it I would.
I thought about Sakura. What a sad life she was forced to live. Having her mother die, having to almost die everyday due to that dirty bastard down the stair case. She cant live like this. She was too good of a person. Why was she chosen to suffer like this? No one deserves this kind of life. Well, besides her bastard father.
Deidara passed the time thinking of Sakura. Thinking about her life, her struggles, and then started thinking about her herself, like how beautiful she was, inside and out. How she was so sweet, and how her eyes portrayed every emotion she felt. He must have spent hours thinking of her.
Why do I feel this way un? I only met this girl 12 hours ago.. But for all that time i spent with her, I feel as if I known her for years un.. Deidara thought. He smiled at the thought of her finally leaving this house.
His thoughts were then interrupted by the sound of a door slamming against a wall.
SAKURA! Oh God un! Deidara thought. He was making his way out from under the bed when he heard heavy foot steps make their way up the stairs. Quickly getting back under the bed, he waited. Suddenly Sakuras door swung open.
Sakuras father was dragging Sakura by the hair. When the door was fully open, he flung her in her room. Sakura hit the floor with a soft thud.
"Now stay in here you brat. And dont come home late again!" Her fathers voice boomed.
Deidara glared at the fathers legs, since from under the bed, thats all he could see.
Dont worry un. she wont ever be coming back again. Deidara thought to himself.
Sakuras father slammed the door and we both listened until we heard his own bedroom door shut. Sakura waited a moment and then moved her head up slightly and saw Deidara from under her bed. Her eyes widened slightly as she held his gaze.
Deidara found it hard to look at her face. There was a trail of blood running from her nose and mouth from when her head got hit on the carpet earlier. Her cheeks were red from being slapped, her hair was wild and her face was snow white pale.
Deidara tried to smile at her to reassure her that everything would be alright. Sakura just stared at him. Deidara slowly made his way out from underneath her bed, trying to be as quiet as possible.
He crawled his way to Sakura. She hadnt moved. He moved the hair out from her face and tried to help her up to a sitting position. Sakura sat up and leaned against him.
Her body must be numb from being on the floor.. Deidara thought as he slowly rised to a standing position, still supporting her. He bent down again and picked her up bridal style.
The shock of being lifted made Sakura gasp and wrap her arms around his neck. Deidara stood there for a minute, holding her in his arms. He had to admit, it felt nice how her head fit the curve of his neck perfectly. Although it unnerved him about how light she was. It was like picking up and carrying a pillow.
Turning his attention back to his goal, he thought about how to get her out of this house without Sakuras father catching them. He looked out the window. It was too high, though there was a tree, pretty close to the window. That would probably be the safest way out.
Turning to the window, he picked up Sakuras book bag and put Sakura down on her bed.
He quietly opened the window just enough for them to get through. He turned to Sakura who was rubbing her legs, trying to get feeling back into them.
"Sakura, can you walk un?" Deidara nodded her head, and kept her eye on her door.
Deidara went back to the window and flung her book bag out and it hit the grass on the bottom story. Deidara took a breath. This was gonna be tricky.
Deidara swung his legs out of the window, his butt sitting on the window sill. He waved Sakura over. She took a few shaky steps but she made it to him. His arms circled her waist and he boosted her first on the window sill, then his lap. He made sure to be careful of his balance, her arm, and the noise.
He held onto her as she tried to get her footing on the tree branch about a foot away from the window. She got her footing and her arms went out to grab the branch. Deidara made sure she got on alright before he started to get on. It was harder for him since he didnt have anyone to hold him, so it was either quick or fall. He waited until Sakura was out of the way and he jumped into the tree.
The tree branch shook as he jumped in, but he grabbed the branch before he could slip off. He turned to Sakura, who was clutching the branch for dear life. Apparently she didnt like heights.
He scooted over to Sakura, grabbed her waist and helped her slowly get down the tree, one branch at a time. When they got to the third branch Deidara guided Sakura down first. When her feet reached the fourth branch, it snapped. Sakura gasped as she went down.
Sakuras P.O.V.
She closed her eyes for the impact of the ground, when she felt someone grab her. In mid fall, she opened her eyes to see Deidara. He was falling with her.
"Hold on un!" He said and they braced themselves.
"Deidar-Ahh!" Sakura exclaimed as they hit the ground. Sakura opened her eyes to find herself on top of Deidara. As they were falling he must have rotated so she would land on him so she wouldnt get hurt. He opened his eyes, and a small blush spread across his face. She could feel herself becoming red.
Deidaras P.O.V.
I open my eyes to yet again find a pair of beautiful spring green orbs staring back.
Oh god I could stare at them forever...Deidara thought. He saw her cheeks grow a light pink, and he couldnt take his eyes off her.
Sakura started to get up and Deidara followed.
"Are you okay Deidara?" Sakura asked worried.
"Yeah Saku..Are you un?" He asked back, moving the hair from her face.
Sakura blushed. She does that a lot un.. He thought.
"Yeah Im fine Deidara.." Sakura said looking down.
"Come on, lets get out of here un" Deidara said as he stood up, bringing Sakura with him. he took the sleve of his shirt and wiped the blood of her face gently
"We cant have people staring at you un" Deidara said Though it would be impossible not to look at you un..He added mentally.
"Thanks Deidara.." Sakura said smiling.
"Ready to go un?" He asked.
"Yeah.." She said as they started.
Sakuras legs were still a little wobbly but she still managed to walk. Deidara kept an eye on her though, just in case.
As they walked, they watched as the sun set and they stared at the sky as it oiled out into many different shades of purples and pinks. Deidara liked it because it reminded him of Sakuras hair.
When they got to Leaf St., the block Deidara lived, he hurriedly got Sakura in and out of sight.
