Sorry about the long wait, but real life hit me in the face. Then I was left stunned at the realization that I actually have to do things like sports and school work. I having been getting home til at least 5:30 pm (17:30) every day and three out of week I didn't get home til like 10 pm (22:00) or later. Well enough of my excuses .
.:o0o:.
I kicked and pulled but Hindan wouldn't let go and it was so hard to keep fighting. My legs and arms feel like liquid lead, heavy and unsubstantial. Black feathered the edges of my vision and dark purple spots blurred what light was left. My lungs burned, fire licked at my throat as every cell of my body for oxygen or death.
Slowly no matter how hard I tried my kicks and tugs became weaker and weaker. I couldn't see anymore, just faint outlines. It's over, I'm done.
MOVE GIRL!
A memory called me out of the black. The masculine voice screamed at me,Girl, don't lie down! Do that on your own time!
The shinobi, the ones from Itachi's village, they can't be found out because I'm weak.
Don't think just move!The voice sounded faint but my body followed his command.
I brought down my fist on Hindan's elbow and aimed a kick for his patella.
But it didn't do anything except cause Hindan entertainment. I couldn't hear what he said because white noise filled my ears, but he aimed a kunai for my shoulder.
I shut my eyes, I don't want to see when the shinobi when they throw away their lives for me.
I didn't even feel it as I dropped to the floor but as the air rushed into my lungs. The relief was so intense it was painful. Everything seemed bright and raw, sounds were so sharp and penetrating I couldn't think straight.
I clenched my hands so hard I felt my nails break the surface. I fucking screwed up and now we're all dead.
The noise dulled in my eardrums and I could make out what was being said, "I said leave. Her. Alone." The voice wasn't one of the shinobi but Deidara's.
Pure unadulterated panic set in, I wouldn't be able to keep from crying if I 'talked' to Deidara. This stunt with the shinobi means I'm leaving him all alone. Not that he probably cares, but I do, he's done so much for me. And I'm just up and leaving. Like…
God a memory headache is coming on, like who? I wanted to know but I…
I just ran, so hard that everything faded away. Like when I play I just forgot the world, it was just me and my essence.
I felt like I was on air and home when I ran from them. I felt like I was leaving all my problems behind.
But it didn't last as soon as I saw my door the blissfulness left. I had a job to do.
I skidded to a stop at my door, my lungs felt like they were going to burst from exertion, my whole body felt like jelly lead. Hand on the knob and forehead to the door I let myself catch a breath, to steady myself and allow the shinobi to catch up.
Tears fell without my permission, but I couldn't even feel. My entire being just wants to lie down and die. My grip loosened on the door knob.
I can't, I thought to myself, I just can't.
The voice was back, it sound like he use a name but it was too fuzzy for me to make out. But his message continued if you want it don't just give up. Or of you really are that pathetic, then don't give up for the people who are important. Fuzziness again, come on and push through. Finish what you started then you can give up.
The voice is right, finish what I started. I gripped the door hand with all my might and entered my room.
One. Two. Three. I counted so that the shinobi had enough time to get in.
Slamming the door shut I sunk to the ground.
I couldn't get enough air; everything seemed to be closing in on me. What the hell am I doing?
A hand on my shoulder stopped the spinning and whirling in my mind.
Job, right.
I have a job to do.
Shaking harder than leaves in a tornado I got up. I faced the four shinobi, and nodded. Let's finish this.
.:o0o:.
So does this chapter make up for the wait? Anyway another chapter should be coming out soon since I'm on Easter Break and I don't have track practice until next Monday. Reviews help a lot.
