"Inner Sakura"
"Sakura's thoughts"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Line Break ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Her head hurt. A lot. And the worst part was that no matter how hard she searched her mind she couldn't remember why her head hurt so badly. She tried to open her eyes only to be met with a piercing light shining above her.
"Well at least I'm in my own room" She thought to herself. Sighing in frustration she rolled over planning to fall back asleep, when a voice cut the air.
"Are you awake now, un?" came a voice from somewhere across the room. She knew that voice but where had she heard it before? It seemed so familiar… opening her eyes again she squinted at the figure sitting by the door of her room.
"Deidara?" she questioned noticing the blur of blonde hair. "what happened, I feel like I fought an entire village."
"Actually I was hoping you could tell me, un" he said solemnly.
"Huh? Why are you in my room?" she continued.
"You don't remember? You screamed last night and woke up the whole base, un. When we got here you were passed out on the floor with your head bleeding. It looked like you got in a fight, un." He said, his eyes widening slightly. She searched her mind again, had she gotten in a fight? It would explain her injuries but she just couldn't remember.
"I don't remember anything before Tobi's toxic cookies." She said repressing a shudder. "but you didn't answer my last question. Why are you in my room?
"Well, we were worried about you so we've been taking shifts watching you to make sure nothing happened to you again right now its my turn." He replied lightly.
"Really now? That's so nice, but I can look after myself just fine" she said darkly. Who the hell did they think they were? Sakura Haruno can look after herself just fine!
"We weren't trying to baby you or anything, we were just worried. When I saw you laying there I… I thought you were dead" he said looking at the floor sadly.
"That's so cute, he was worried for you! Did you notice how he said I instead of WE?" Inner squealed.
"Oh" was all she said before beginning to carefully head her head, wincing slightly at how deep the cut really was. Deidara watched her with rapt attention; he always liked seeing her chakra in action. It amazed him how the light green glow could both create craters the size of a mountain and yet heal the smallest of cells in the human body.
"Good you're both here" Zetsu said as he began to slowly morph out of the wall.
"Zetsu, what are you doing here, un?" Deidara asked the now fully formed ninja.
"You two have an exchange mission. Just bring this scroll to an accomplice in Suna and retrieve the scroll he has for us. There's more information in here." Ha said handing Deidara a large important looking scroll and a thin mission scroll.
"Are you up for this Sakura? If you're still injured we can get Tobi to go with Deidara instead?" Zetsu added almost silently. Seeing the blonde man wince out of the corner of her eye Sakura decided she would save the blonde from having to deal with his partner for a while.
"Of course Zetsu, I'm perfectly fine now. Well be ready to leave in an hour." She replied with a smile. Zetsu nodded and left the room. Sakura got up from her bed and began to gather the necessities for her mission seeing as they'd be gone for about four days if they traveled at top speed. Noticing Deidara hadn't left yet she turned to face him.
"Well?" she said questioningly.
"If you really think your up for this ill meet you in the kitchen in an hour, un." He said sighing.
"See you then" she replied lightly. He was really worried for her and although his feelings were appreciated she couldn't help but feel a little put down.
"I'll just have to show him I'm fine" She said while continuing to pack.

Wow! Another chapter already I'm on a roll! This chapter was really hard for me to write though. I finally know where to go with this story and have it all planned out in my head but I'm just not sure how to put it down on paper. =/
Anyway, I need topics for Deidara and Sakura to talk about while on their mission! If you can think of anything funny for the next chapter ill be sure to mention you in my next "Special thanks section"! =D
Oh and a lemon may not be too far away for Sakura and somebody either so review my darlings!
