Ooo! So again with that mysterious thumping noise? ;D
Yeah I was listening to the song 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls when I made it... It made me cry so much T^T
I find it sweet that Dei would tell her how long she had left but sad because, like he said, he isn't strong enough.
Please tell me what you think and I'll start working on another bonus chapter... Another? OH NOES!
XDD Thanks

Chapter VIIII
'I'm Never Gonna Find You Fake It'
Thump, thump...
"Hmm...?"
Thump, THUMP...
Tinnara coughed when she was aware that she couldn't breathe. Her lungs were cold and her heart sped up. Taking in her surroundings she saw that she was in the middle of a design of intricate lines that glowed and ominous green. "Wait, this is-"
"That's right." Eleven cloacked figures stood around the edge of the pattern watching intently. "This tecnique is usually used for advanced healing surgeries but what it's rarely used for is sucking ones own power and sometimes even lifeforce out of their body."
"So that's what you have in store for me, isn't... Pein." the Akatsuki leader stepped out of the shadows reveiling himself to all.
"Interesting ability... You are definately you're father's daughter." he said.
"Don't compare me to him!" Tinnara tried to lunge forward but couldn't seem to move her body, it was out of her control.
"Heh, it's usuless. Sasori has numbed you with a special poison that paralyzes its victims."
She felt liked an animal trapped in a hunter's trap, then she remembered, "Deidara!" She turned towards where he stood on the ouside. "You said you loved me! Please, if that's true, let me out!" Tinnara pleaded. But Deidara didn't move, his eyes lifeless like a doll's.
"We took care of that too. We knew about his 'feelings' toward you and had to take special precautions. He cannot help you either."
Tinnara collased to her knees in defeat, the only thing she could do. "You bastards..." she muttered under her breath. "I won't let you take me!" She forced her trembling body to stand up. The poison was strong but she felt a power she had never felt before rising from with in her damaged body. Once again, like before, her insizers enlongated and grew sharp. "You want to see my power?" She asked in a mencing voice, "You will see the full extent of it when you piss me off and mess with my friends!" Using all her strength she obitherated all the poison in her system and threw herself forward towards the Akatsuki leader. He was dead meat. Her sharp claws had barely scratched his skin.
THUMP, THUMP
"AH!" Tinnara sat up in bed, sweating.
"Ow!" a shout of pain came from beside the bed. Looking over Tinnara saw Deidara grasping his head.
"Why the hell are you groaning!?" she asked crossing her arms. He opened one of his eyes and looked at her
"You hit me with your fat head!" Deidara mumbled.
"Well this 'fat head' laughs at your misery." Tinnara smiled.
"Heh heh heh." he laughed sarcasticly, "Well what about you, hmm? You just woke up screaming!"
"Oh, that..." she looked away and pressed her fingers together. Now that she remembered her dream she began to shake. It all felt so real. Also looking back on some of her past dreams it looked like they were all coming together, like the pieces of a puzzle. From the beginning the dreams were trying to warn her of the Akatsuki. But the dream she just had... could it really be...
Something warm draped around her and a pair of arms held her, protecting her. "What was it? I can't help if you don't tell me." Deidara whispered. Tinnara looked back at him with scared eyes. "It's okay. Nothing will harm you as long as I'm still alive. And that's a promise."
The sincerity in his voice was so genuine. If he was lying, he was damn good. Tinnara couldn't help but smile. "I had a dream about them trapping me inside some kind of intricate pattern. I couldn't move. And they said that they were going to use it to extract my powers. I begged you for help but they had done something to you to prevent you from helping..." She paused for a moment making sure to keep the shakeyness out of her voice. "Then something happened and I heard some kind of pounding noise. After that I could feel my lungs empty of air, it was cold..." Deidara's breathing paused for a second. She had heard it too?! Tinnara snuggled into his cloak, pulling it closer to her. "It was almost like the others I had..."
"'The others'?"
"Yeah I started having them about a week before you came." She paused, "All warning me... I should have known... I should have given them more thought!" Tinnara cursed herself. "I was such an idiot! If I would have thought about them then I wouldn't even be here!"
"Is it that bad...?" Deidara asked quietly. Her words were cold and hurt.
"Not all of it..." She said touched her pocket that held the heart inside. "I'm grafeful to have been able to become closer friends with you, but they have to kill me eventually it would seem." She looked back at Deidara. "I'm happy, though, that I made a few more friends before the end." Leaning in she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Deidara's face flushed and he pulled her into a tight hug.
"Two hours left." he said. "And I'm sorry... This is something I just can't help you with." Tinnara nodded to acknowlage she understood but the hurt she had been feeling began to grow almost swallowing her heart. He held her close knowing that this would most likely be the last time he was going to hold her fraile body in his arms, the last time he was going to feel her soft touch and the last time he was going to feel the beating of her heart insync with his. Savoring the moment he closed his eyes. 'You will never know how much I truely love you Tinnara. If I could... I would die to save you. I'm just not... not strong enough.' A single tear fell from his eye.
Thump, thump...
