A/N: Wuv to all who reviewed :Big Hugs:!!!


Sakura hated this... She... Liked an S-class criminal! She wanted an S-class criminal! She was looking at the S-class she liked at that moment! He was sleeping...

Obviously, he'd suffered more damage than he'd let on and had fallen asleep two days ago and hadn't woken since. She occasionally checked his vitals to be sure he was alive. He seemed perfectly healthy, except that he had suffered some trauma.

She wished he'd wake up... She wanted him to wake up so she had somebody to talk to.

Naruto was never there, so she was all alone with him and Sasuke hadn't come back since she'd told him to leave. Good riddance to him, then...

She saw Deidara's eyelids twitch slightly. Her heart skipped a beat and she watched him intently. Then, his eyelids stopped moving. She fell back into the cot and sighed heavilly.

Her mind went back to all those years ago and she thought about Sasuke.

She couldn't help but wonder what would happen if things were different... Did he really mean it when he said that her feelings were requited? Did he mean it when he said, "thank you"? Did he mean any of the things he'd ever said to her?

Thinking of this caused tears to well up in her eyes. She sniffled and let out a wavering sigh.

What she didn't know was that Deidara was, indeed, awake and was watching her with a sympathetic look on his face...

She rolled over so she was facing the wall and silently cried.

'Damn you, Sasuke...' she thought.

Her shoulders shook with her silent sobs and she just wanted to crawl into a corner and die...

Why did he have to come back? Why did he have to leave in the first place? Why did he have to have such a huge impact on her? Why, why, why!

She heard the sound of somebody knocking on the door, but she ignored it. She didn't want to see or be seen. She only wanted to be alone... Alone... Wait, she already was alone.

She had nobody...

She heard the person on the other end try to open the door only to find it locked. She smirked spitefully. Good...

Then, she heard the lock click and the door open. Dammit... She forgot that Naruto had a key...

Not turning around, she asked, "what?"

"I need to ask you something." answered Sasuke.

"If you want to know an answer, go ask Orochimaru. You seem to trust him more than this village..."

He was silent.

She rolled over to face him and he noticed the tears on her face. He leaned over and whispered, "why are you crying?"

"I'm not..." she lied.

He smiled sadly. "Liar."

"What do you want?" she changed the subject.

"To know what I can do to make everything up to you."

"You can make it up to me by leaving me alone." she answered. "I don't want to have anything to do with you... Not anymore."

He looked hurt, but unsurprised. "If it's what you want, I guess I have no choice..."

She nodded and watched as he left. She looked to Deidara and saw his eyes cracked open slightly. She didn't bother to wipe the tears from her face and rolled so she was staring at the roof.

Damn Sasuke...

She cried as her face twisted into one of sorrow and she buried her face in her hands and sobbed, trying to stay silent, but failing. She gasped and sobbed as she cried and Deidara could only watch in pain as her already wounded heart tore into two once again...


A/N: Okay, so sorry for the shortness! This is all I can think of right now... I will try to update ASAP!
