"You have to kill them Nay! They don't care about you! No one wants you!" I hear a voice shouting in anger at me. I wobble to my feet and look over at the shadow with piercing yellow eyes standing in front of me. A snake head comes at me with its sharp fangs and I stumble back letting out a loud scream. Seconds later I open my eyes and find myself looking down a narrow hallway and at the end is a woman holding a suitcase. She starts to walk on ahead and I start to sprint towards her reaching out for her, but she doesn't stop. I finally wake up from the dream as I hear a loud bang coming from the other side of my door. I pull back the covers and slowly walk to the door only to find a note on the floor.

"What's this…?" I whisper and bend down to pick it up and look at the chicken scratch handwriting scribbled in orange crayon. At the end is signed Tobi.

"What is this?" I say again and see Hidan come out of his room and finds a note too along with Deidara.

"What the fuck does this say? Who's gonna be able to read this?" Hidan adds while comparing all the notes to have the exact same message by having the same length and scribbles. Dei squints his eyes and says everything is so messed up and it looks like a three year old did it.

"Tobi get you back!" Tobi appears out of nowhere and snaps at us and throws a water balloon towards Hidan hitting him in the face.

"You dumbfuck!" He shouts and starts to sprint down the hallway after him.

"You see, you just made things worse Dei," I sigh and leave him in the hallway as I go back into my room. What an idiot everyone here is. If you fight fire with fire you'll only end up burned. A silly thought comes to mind, that the note is some sort of threat, but I just shrug it off and throw it away.

~::.::.::.::.::The next night::.::.::.::.::~

I awake with a loud scream from a nightmare with a man like a snake strangling me. The same mysterious figure appearing in most of my dreams lately. Confused I grab onto my neck where the curse mark is. Pein and Konan had done some sort of sealing jutsu not long ago, yet my neck is throbbing intensely. I continue to hold my hand there on the spot thinking of my recent dreams and what could it mean. I look at the drawing I had drawn subconsciously of a strange woman that seems familiar yet I don't know where I recall seeing her. Shoving back the covers I slip out of bed and still half asleep stumble into the hallway.

A hand grasps my shoulder and I turn around and find Hidan staring at me with a disgusting grin and I yell at him and shove him and walk fast down the hallway not even paying attention to what he says next. All the way towards to Deidara's room. Obviously he heard the fuss and my loud yell. He opens the door and grabs me by the shoulder glaring at Hidan who just glares at us both.

"What are you doing Hidan!" Dei snaps. I step behind him rubbing my eyes.

"That stupid bitch woke me up, that's all," He smirks and I step into Dei's room stumbling on his bed still half asleep. They continue talking, well more like bickering, as I drift to sleep.

"Just go back to your room, yeah! Or I'll have to blow your ugly face, un!" Deidara shouts closing the door. Unaware of Nayumei sleeping away in his bed. He doesn't even think twice to where she had gone and lies down on the bed. He stretches his arms out with a big yawn and feels someone there and jumps off of the bed.

"The hell?" He shouts and pulls back the covers to find a sleeping Nay. She opens her eyes and looks over at him. "What are you doing?" He stutters.

"I had a nightmare…is it ok if I sleep in here and you on the floor?" I add. He stays silent thinking about it and then adds the members will think something else is going on. I assure him it'll just be something that can be explained. After all it's not like anything will ever happen. He finally agrees and says only this once and grabs a sleeping bag from his drawer. I fluff up his pillow, which smells nice by the way, and immediately drift back to sleep.

"Great…I was looking forward to sleeping on my bed after that stupid mission today," He thinks to himself and sighs. He sees a cockroach walk by his face and shifts to face the other side simply rolling his eyes at the little rodent.

After he finally drifts to sleep he wakes up from the discomfort and decides to go to the kitchen and get a glass of water to satisfy his dry mouth. He walks down the long hallways and into the kitchen unaware of a figure sitting at the table watching his every move as he grabs a cup and pours himself fresh water. Dei still almost fully asleep stumbles back to his room lying on the bed with his back to Nayumei's back as he drifts back to sleep forgetting to lock the door and that his bed was already occupied.

~::.::.::.::.::The next morning::.::.::.::.::~

Dei wakes up slightly and feels something on his chest. He yawns thinking it's his pillow and wraps his arm around it pulling it closer to him as he tries to go back to sleep. He opens his eyes when he realizes the pillow is breathing. Pillows don't breathe… A warm feeling builds in his stomach creating a knot as he looks down at a brown head.

"Na-aay…?" He stutters nervously. Nayumei still fully knocked out simply shifts her head and continues to lie on his chest. He bites down on his lip to try and stop the nerves and finally just accepts it and adjusts himself to be more comfortable while closing his eyes.

I feel movement underneath me which surprises me making me wake up, but still keeping my eyes closed. I notice the pillow I'm lying on is oddly firm and warm. I slowly open my eyes and see a blue shirt and then look over at Dei's sleeping bag now empty. I shoot my head up and find myself laying on Deidara. My face only inches away from the sleeping figure.

"AAAAAH!" I scream as my face turns bright red. Dei shoots up and loses balance as I push him off the bed, but something painfully tugs my left hand and I fly off the bed also, landing on top of him.

"What the fuck is all the noise about?" Hidan shouts as he busts open the door to find our position and he starts to laugh hysterically. I lift up my hand to discover handcuffs connecting my left hand to his right hand.

"What the hell Deidara! Did you do this?" I yell angrily, his face red as well. He shakes his head and he tries to sit up making me fall over and him on top.

"Get off of me!" I yell and shove him only jerking the handcuffs, hurting our hands.

"I knew you guys had something sick going on!" Hidan adds and walks down the hallway still laughing.

"This is not what it looks like, damn it!" I yell loud enough so the whole base can hear me. Dei holds his forehead like I'm causing him a migraine. Dei struggles to stand up nearly making me fall over as I try and stand also. He immediately starts to pick at the handcuffs and it won't bunch. I take a turn at it picking at it vigorously, at the same time thinking how could this have happened! Probably one of Hidan's sick jokes. I explain this to Dei and he nods and I throw the pin to the ground as he leads me out the door and towards the direction Hidan went.

"Slow down your hurting my wrist!" I hiss and he stops looking down at it seeing the red mark forming. We walk in on Hidan telling the others what he saw, of course exaggerating. All eyes on us and then on the cuffs. I slightly blush at the awkwardness of the whole situation and how the members and Hidan sure know how to turn something bigger than it is.

"Damn it Hidan give us the key, un!" Dei shouts and makes a fist with his free hand rambling on about threatening to blow him up.

"Shut up blondie! I didn't handcuff you! You guys did!" He yells back. After a few minutes of yelling Kakuzu suggests pliers. Dei tries to rush out of the room forgetting I'm attached and tugging at my wrists.

"Come on Nayumei…" He mumbles and I walk after him making our way to his room. We walk past Itachi in the hallway and he looks at us with amusement then back to his blank expression.

"Arg! " I think to myself as Dei kicks open his door. "Even Itachi finds this funny…"

"Dei what happens when we need to go to the bathroom?" I mumble nervously. He raises his eyebrows and starts to search through the drawers for a pair of pliers. I cross my fingers I don't have to go soon.

"Why don't we just blow this sucker up, yeah!" He shouts and I stumble back yelling at him. It could just blow our hands off. It's not worth it at all. He then continues to look again as I look over at the door and notice a piece of paper taped on it.

"Dei….what's that?" I point to it knowing it might have to do with what's going on. He jerks his head and looks at it. He rips the piece of paper off and stares at it, just by looking at his expression you can tell he's about to blow. Or even tear something or someone apart. He hands it to me without a word and I look at it immediately, it says…

Dear, Dei-chan,

This you punishment. But only beginning….this just warm up. Hope you enjoy…and I have the key and you're not getting it back, damn it!

Sincerely, Tobi

"I'm going to kill him," I mutter and Dei rips the note out of my hand and rips it to shreds scattering it all over the floor, then stomps on it and kicking it towards the hallway. Followed by intense cursing and finally he punches the door.

"Well why not just go to his room and harass him till he gives us the key?" I add. Dei snaps out of his fit and orders for us to go straight there. I don't really have a choice now do I? He busts open the door only to find an empty room.

"TOBI?" He shouts.

"What are you doing?" Zetsu's voice sends shivers down my spine making my first reaction to grab onto Dei's hand. He turns around glaring at him. Yeah we get along now, but Zetsu still gives me the creeps every now and then.

"What does it look like! Where's that little brat!" Dei snaps.

"He went on a mission, he won't be back for at least a few days," He adds looking over at me. Our attention goes to Hidan's random loud scream coming from the other end of the hideout. Dei and I walk past Zetsu towards Hidan's room only to find him in an odd position. The whole room smells like urine. His bed is soaked, and Hidan himself is hanging upside down dripping with the weird substance.

"Did Hidan have a little accident?" Dei says mockingly, triggering Hidan's cursing rampage. Fidgeting like crazy trying to cut himself down.

"What happened in here Hidan?" I ask looking around for clues. That's when I notice a note taped to the door. Immediately ripping it off as Dei and Hidan watch me curious as well.

"It's Tobi," I add blankly which adds fuel to Hidan's anger. He starts to yell with more cursing while Dei tells him to shut up.

"Well you guys deserve it! But me… I didn't help at all with the prank on Tobi so why am I being punished!" I shout. Hidan starts to laugh at this.

"You guys being hand cuffed isn't even a punishment!" He says while still laughing. My face turns slightly pink as I look down at the cuffs. The note did say that it was only the beginning so maybe the whole hand cuff thing is simply for humiliation while he prepares the real thing. Either way when that guy gets back from his mission, he's dead meat. After about five minutes of his annoying laugh he orders us to cut him down. After all he's said and done before, I whisper to Dei to just leave him up there smelling like urine and all. I look above his feet spotting an empty bucket and laugh quietly to myself. When Dei agrees and starts to lead me out, Hidan starts with his threats. I turn around giving him a death glare which makes him slightly grin. I slam the door with it locked in the inside so no one else can get in. Hidan continues to cuss and yell as Dei leads me to the kitchen.

"Well I guess we'll be stuck like this for a while so let's just get some things clear," Dei says opening the fridge and putting on the table a packet of fresh ham. "You make me food, and I eat it."

I smack his face, which surprises him as I glare intensely at him.

"Calm down yeah? I was kidding," He smiles slightly as I take a seat at the table. Obviously not smiling.

"You can't fall asleep because I want to go watch TV!" He says noticing me rest my head on my arm. "Nay!"

Dei used to be so nice to me and now he's cranky most of the time. Like Sasori said his kindness dies down once he gets used to you. I pretend to snore to annoy him more as he gently shakes me to wake up. I shoot my head up as he takes a step back. He slaps his forehead and tugs my wrist to go with him. After minutes of debating we finally make a decision. I wanted to go to my room and draw and he wants to go sit on the couch watching TV with Kakuzu. So we go grab my sketchbook and sit on the couch. Not going to be able to get much done with the noise of the TV on, but I have no other choice then to at least try.

~::.::.::.::.::Later that night::.::.::.::.::~

"Good night you two," Kakuzu mocks sounding just like Hidan. "By the way where is Hidan?" I open my mouth to answer him, but Dei covers it and closes the door. I smack his hand away and that's when I realize we are going to have to sleep next to each other again. Well he could sleep on the floor, but my hand would have to hang uncomfortably over the bedside.

"Back to back," I add. He sighs and removes his Akatsuki cloak. I stand their uncomfortably and finally we both lay down. He falls asleep almost immediately as I lay there staring at the wall. Lots of things going through my mind, while trying to remember the dream I had just last night and nothing comes to mind. Sometimes I wonder who I really am. And what's the mark on my neck. What happened to my memories?

….

"Stop! Please…don't leave me..." Nayumei whines in her sleep. Deidara wakes up looking over at her, noticing she's covered in sweat as she fidgets from her nightmare. He gently shakes her, but sees it's just not working so he calls her name making her eyes open. He explains her ranting which angers her as she tries to get up forgetting they're handcuffed.

"Damn," She huffs and lays back down. Deidara can't help, but wonder what she was dreaming. He's also curious about her past and who she really is. But he just shrugs it off, and minutes later they both fall asleep again.

In the morning when they awoke they found themselves the same as the other day. Nayumei laying on his chest, and his arm around her. Both not even aware how it happened. Nay shoves him sitting up suggesting they go get Tobi early. Dei agrees reluctantly saying it's not a bad idea as they gather their things and prepare to head out to find him.
