I woke up in the hospital again. This time without an IV needle. I shot up in the hospital bed. I was met with a bunch of people lying my back down. I fought back and someone punched a needle in my forearm. "OW!" I screamed. "Calm down, Shione!" the medicine in the shot started taking effect. I laid back down, my whole body feeling numb. "There. She's finally stopped fighting." I looked at the Yellow haired boy standing over me. "Naruto?"

"Hey, she remembered! Are her memories back?" he asked Sakura, who was writing something down on a chart. "Naruto, Lady Tsunade asked me to do a little research on her. Her parents were killed. Only her two brothers and her little sister are alive. And they've been missing for months so we have to assume their dead." My dream came back to me. Yuki, Haya and the third boy. The man and woman being killed. I shook it of my head. Naruto nodded. "And?"

"She has loads of chakra control. She's figured out how to use her chakra to move objects. And people. And she's figured out the Chidori…"

Naruto's eyes widened. "Chidori?!"

I was still a little numb. But I got my mouth to move. "Sakura?"

Sakura rushed over. "Yes? What is it? Are you okay?"

I nodded. "Why did you bring me to this place?"

Sakura looked like she was doing algebra. "Well…the Akatsuki are an evil…"

I sat up quickly, ignoring the numbness. "That's a lie! The Akatsuki helped me!"

"WE helped YOU escape from them! They kidnapped you!" she said defensively.

Something occurred to me just then. I was a member. Why hadn't I thought of that before?! "I'm…"

She walked away. "You need time to heal."

Naruto watched us both. "What are you?" he asked me.

I closed my eyes. "I'm a member of the Akatsuki. Their recent member." I said quietly.

Naruto didn't hear me. "Well, it's almost midnight. You should get some sleep."

I raised my eyebrows. "You knocked me out and you want me to go to sleep?" I blinked a few times. "How long have I been here?"

Naruto sighed. "A week."

My eyes widened. "A week?!"

Naruto looked like he was counting. "When Sakura brought you here, you were asleep for three days. Then you escaped and I knocked you out. You were asleep for four days. And you woke up at 11:50."

I was annoyed. "so I've had four days of sleep, and 10 minutes of being awake and you want me to go back to sleep?!"

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Do you want me to MAKE you sleep?"

I shook my head. "No thanks. I'll go to sleep on my own." I laid down and he went away and turned off the light.

I sighed. "Jeez. All these people are crazy." I shut my eyes, and surprisingly I went to sleep.

I was awakened by the sound of a window opening. I woke up to see somebody coming in.

My scream lasted a nanosecond before a hand was on my mouth. "Shh! don't scream, un!" said a harsh whisper. It was Deidara!

I blinked a few times before prying his hand of my mouth. "Don't do that!"

I yelled in a whisper. "You have the mouths on your hands and it's like a weird kiss!" He smirked at me and gave me a tiny peck on the lips.

I glared at him. "You'll regret that." He snickered. "Only want it from Tobi, un?"

I blushed. "M-Maybe…"

Deidara sighed. "Alright, un. Any minute now an alarm is going to sound because my clay bird is…"

He was cut off by people running and shouting and an alarm sounding. "My clay bird is in the sky, un. Shione, if they catch us escaping I want you to make it seem like I'm kidnapping you 'again', un." I shook my head. "Why?"

Deidara looked to the side. "I'm pretty sure Tobi hasn't ever liked anyone before, un. I don't want him to have to find a new person. And you're the first person who's ever wanted to learn my art, un."

"Somebody's kidnapping Shione!" I heard Naruto yell.

"It's Deidara! I saw his bird!" Sakura yelled.

Deidara grabbed my arm, and then twisted it and put it behind my back and put his other hand on my throat. Wait. Rewind. Other hand? "You got your arm back?"

Deidara nodded. "Yeah, un."

He made it seem like he would choke me if someone tried to rescue me. "Remember that I'm 'kidnapping' you." I nodded.

Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi burst through the door before we could move very much. "Deidara!! Let her go!"

Deidara made it look like he squeezed my neck. "Cough!" he whispered in my ear. I coughed.

"Don't you lay one finger on her!" Sakura yelled.

"How come you care so much for me?" I asked.

Naruto clenched his fist. "Because you remind me of Sasuke!! And I don't want you to end up like him!!"

"How does she relate to that brat, un?!" Deidara yelled. He let go of my arm and wrapped his arm around my waist and leapt out the window. Huh. Déjà vu. We jumped onto the big bird and flew off. It was about 5 minutes before Deidara was still holding my waist. "Um…Deidara? You can let go of me…now…" I said, blushing. Deidara's face was red as he let go of me. "Sorry, un…" I pulled my legs into my chest. I kissed Tobi and Deidara kissed me. Is Deidara in love with me? Tobi is…I don't think of Tobi romantically…only one way to see if Deidara loves me… I looked at him. "Deidara?"

"Yeah, un?"

"I…I'm sorry I tore off your arm…" I said, getting quiet.

"It's really no problem. Kakuzu sewed it back on for me…um…are your bones still broken?" he asked, still red-faced.

"No…Kakuzu did a pretty good job patching me up and the medical ninjas healed them completely." My face was getting red to. "Hey, Deidara?"

He looked at me. "Hn?"

I closed my eyes and kissed him. I felt like I was betraying Tobi. After about 10 seconds I stopped. Deidara sat there, blinking. "Does Tobi really love me?"

Deidara laughed nervously. "Yeah, about that…I only said that to make you get Tobi's face for me. And to get you to come quietly."

I was horrified. "So you LIED?!"

"Yeah…at first I despised you, un. And then I heard you liked art and stuff…and I just grew to like you, un. You just ended up being…likable." He said.

I turned away. "So Tobi just…"

He raised his eyebrows. "Shione, are you even thinking? Your hot! And you kissed Tobi! Anybody would have reacted the same way he did!"

I glared at him. "So you lied!"

He grabbed my wrist. "Yes!!" he swung me into a kiss. He held the back of my head and I could've sworn I felt the tongue in his hand-mouth lick my ear. He held my waist with the other hand. Slowly, I closed my eyes and just kissed him back.

After about 10 minutes of kissing, well, I guess you could call it making-out but it wasn't quite as extreme as making-out. "It'll take 3 days to get back to the base, un. That's why it took me so long to get you. I had to be very careful so that I wouldn't get killed. Then who would rescue you, un?"

I nodded. "They knocked me out twice. And tried to tell me the Akatsuki were evil."

"We are, un." He said.

I stared at him. "But…"

"Well, not evil. We're not really…um…I can't explain it so…."

He said in deep thought. "So I suppose you're not tired, huh, un?" he said looking at me.

I nodded. "7 days and 3 hours of sleep is pretty much enough."

He stared at me. "They knocked you out for 7 days?!"

I shook my head. "No. I woke up in the hospital 3 days after I was kidnapped. I had an IV needle and after there was nobody around, I ripped it out and ran."

I shuddered at the pain of the IV needle. "I got caught and got knocked out again, then woke up 4 days later. I was awake for 30 minutes total. And then they wanted me to go to sleep again."

He blinked a few times. "They hit you hard, huh, un?"

I laughed. "Yeah. I guess so." A day passed and I was finally getting a little tired. It was 2:00 A.M. "you know, un, you should really get some sleep, un." He said watching me yawn. "Yeah…sure….I wants a cookie…" I mumbled. I leaned on him and fell asleep.

--------------Deidara's point of View-----------

I watched her fall asleep. "Wow, un. 7 days and 3 hours of sleep has worn off, huh, un?" I chuckled when I heard her mumble about cookies. I stroked her cheek gently when I thought of something. Was I in love with her? Was it bad that I had lied to her about Tobi? It made me angry that she had liked Tobi. The wind ruffled her shiny black hair in her face and I brushed it away. For the first time I was truly looking at her. Her eyes opened slightly. I stayed as still as possible so I wouldn't disturb her. Her eyes closed again. I just watched her sleep. She looked so calm…her black hair complimented her pale skin perfectly. Her icy blue eyes went with her whole look. Now that I thought about she was very beautiful. I wondered if she liked me. I had made her pretty pissed because I had lied. I gently set her head in my lap. I thought it might've been a lot more comfy for her because I've fallen asleep leaning on somebody and I woke up, still leaning on them but my neck hurt.

I bent down, slightly. "Shione? I do like you, un." I whispered. She didn't stir but her face became smoother, like she had just had a wave of relief wash away stress. No, I didn't like her. I loved her and I had only known her for a short time. She was a work of art. I wondered what Shione could have done, to make them wipe her memory. I hated them for doing that, but then again, if they didn't I would have never met her. She stirred a little, mumbling about cookies with chopped up leeks in them. I chuckled again. "Deidara…love…cookies…" she mumbled. I decided that it would be a little fun to mess with her dreams. "No. Deidara loves you."

"Deidara…love…me?"

I stroked her cheek again. "Yes. Yes he does."

--------------Back to Shione's point of view------------------

I had dreams of Deidara in love with me. I woke up and it was daylight. My head was resting on Deidara's lap, and he was sleeping. I didn't want to wake him so I didn't move and just looked up at the sky. I yawned and shut my eyes again.

"Shione…wake up, un."

I felt his hand stroking my shoulder gently. "Mm?"

I said opening my eyes. "Awake, un?" I nodded, yawning. For some reason Deidara was being really nice. Then the night where he 'rescued' me came back. He'd told me that he'd lied about Tobi and kissed me.

I sat up and stretched. "Are we there yet?"

He shook his head. "About two more days, Un."

I sat right next to Deidara. "Hey, Deidara? I uh…had dream last night…and um…in my dream…you said you loved me. Do you? Because I…"

I paused for a moment. "I think I love you…but…."

Deidara looked away. "I thought she loved Tobi…un…" he whispered. "I…yes…un."

I scooted closer to him. "I thought I loved Tobi to…until…well…you started to be nice to me and…"

I scooted even closer, so my shoulder was touching him. "I know I love you."

I leaned on him. "I didn't think love at first sight was possible but…"

I kissed his cheek. "I've proved myself wrong."

I smiled at him and he smiled at me. And we flew back to The Akatsuki base. Oh and by the way! I got pretty good at sculpting.
