*Mira's POV*
"Mira! Mira wake up!"
I groaned "Where am I?"
"In a forest, open your eyes."
I obeyed and saw Kaname. I blinked a couple of times just to make sure it wasn't a dream. He helped me up putting a cloak around my shoulders.
"What are you doing here?"
"Itachi was worried about you, and he couldn't just leave to look for you."
"So he sent you," I sighed "Do you know where Deidara and Sasori went?"
"No, why?"
"They're in danger, especially Deidara."
"I'll go back and ask."
"No, it'll be too late."
I closed my eyes hoping my demon had a little chakra on him, like a tracking device. After a few seconds of concentration I had the exact path they had taken.
"Kaname go back to the base," I began pushing him away "Tell Itachi I'm turning hero."
"But-."
"Go, now! He'll understand…I hope."
I called Shira back to this world; she fled to the spot where Deidara was. I ran into the hotel that Shira stopped in front of, I went straight to the floor where I felt the most chakra. Now it was just a matter of concentration as I walked by each door.
"Mira?"
I turned "Sasori? You're alive, thank goodness. Where's Deidara?"
"Probably still in the room. Did you know that there's an imposter of you with us?"
"That'll be Madara."
My heart raced even more when I heard a large bang at the end of the hall. The two of us raced down there, Sasori opened the door with his key.
"Deidara!"
"Mira?"
There he was, laying on the ground with me standing over him with a sword. It was a strange sight to see.
"Perfect timing," Madara sneered "Just in time to watch yourself kill your boyfriend."
"Madara don't," I took a step forward "You kill him; you'll have to kill me too."
"That won't happen."
As I was talking to him Deidara scooted away. I ran forward as Madara swung the sword, there was a moment of silence then pitch black.
*Deidara's POV*
I scooted away from the imposter and began to stand when Mira pushed me out of the way. I turned just in time to see the imposter swing the sword, it sliced Mira's head clean off then the imposter dropped the sword and disappeared.
"Mira!"
I couldn't believe it; she had saved my life, sacrificing her own. How could I not believe her when she was trying to apologize?
"Itachi's going to kill me," tears overflowed "I should have listened to your warnings."
"Deidara," Sasori put a hand on my shoulder "I think she wanted this. Her burden was too great to bear."
"But I love her. She should have never even started to know me."
A light glow surrounded her; I wanted to touch her, to save her. Afraid her soul was leaving, that would have meant that I'd be all alone on this earth and she was truly gone forever.
"At last she's free."
I turned to a new voice. A male I've never seen before walked into the room. Sasori didn't seemed shocked by this person.
"Marcus," Sasori whispered "Does that mean?"
"Yes," he replied "She's turning human, the demon will fix her then leave her body forever, hopefully."
"Hopefully?"
"It depends on how powerful a demon she's been hosting. If it's strong enough it could stay in her, just a little weakened."
