Chapter 12: Choice
Time passed slowely after that. One hour felt like an eternity. Even though I was the one who told Deidara to go, I was suffering my decision. Not only that but, Hidan wanted me to be immortal with him. To do that I'd have to drink the red liqiud in the vial he'd givin me. I found that to be his blood. I was no vampire, but I was willing to do it. Rukai however… she freaked out when itold her. She just kept on saying "Don't go all religious on me!" Like I'd go religious. So much had happened in the half a year I'd been living with the Akatsuki. My thoughts were once again interrupted by Rukai's screaming.
"NO! THAT CAN'T BE! HE TOLD ME HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME!!" I heard her footsteps coming down the hall. She entered my room viciously wiping her tears away.
"What happened Rukai-chan?" I asked.
"Sasori's gone!" she yelled falling to the floor and hugging herself into a tight ball.
"What do you mean Sasori's gone?" I asked.
"Sasori died! He told me he'd never leave me but he did!" Rukai cried. I was about to say something when Tobi burst into the room.
"Tobi will make the sad things go away. Tell Tobi what's wrong and he'll make it better. Good girls shouldn't cry." he cooed. He scooped Rukai up and nodded to me.
"Tobi will calm her down for Kat-chan. Rukai-chan needs some time to recover from the shock of Sasori No Danna's death." He carried Rukai away and left me standing there in disbelief. Both Sasori and Deidara were dead. Life was not looking good. Three members down; Konan, Deidara, and Sasori. Nine members left; Tobi, Zetsu, Hidan, Kakuzu, Itachi, Kisame, Pein, Rukai and myself. Who was going to die next?

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. I told myself as I paced back and forth in my room holding the vial of Hidan's blood in my hand. I need to become immortal. That way I can always be there for my friends. My pacing speed increased and my feet were starting to hurt. **knock knock**
"Door's open." I said to the person outside the door. Hidan was at my side in a matter of minutes. He seemed to have noticed the vial in my hands.
"Are you going to do it?" He asked pointing to the vial. I nodded and added.
"I'm not sure how it's going to work. It's your blood, won't that make me a vampire?"
"No. The blood is of an immortal soul. Therefore, anyone who drinks this blood will become immortal as well. No need to worry." His eyes never left my mine. I popped the cork out of the vial and brought it close to my lips. Hidan watched intently as I drank the scarlett blood within the small glass container. It didn't taste bad at all really. In fact, it was pleasurable. A shiver shot down my spine and my breathing grew hard. I could feel my heart beat throughout my entire body. My eyes burned and my stomach hurt; Hidan was panicing which told me he'd never done this before. I hunched over as my body shook uncontrollably and I slammed my eyes shut. I managed to get one word out of my mouth.
"Bucket."
"Huh?" Hidan had his hand on my back bracing me agaist my body's shock waves.
"BUCKET!!" I yelled as loud as my lungs could allow when they felt like they were being smushed by elephants.
"Holy Jashin! What the fuck is going on?!"
"JUST GET ME THE DAMN BUCKET!!!!!!"
"Ok!" Hidan returned seconds later. To me the seconds felt like years. I grabbed the bucket out of Hidan's hands and puked my guts into it.

"What did you do to her you idiot?!" I heard Pein say. My eyes wouldn't open and my body wouldn't move. All I could do was litsen to the other members talk about me.
"Nothing…" Hidan sounded like he was trying to hide what he'd done.
"You lie!" Rukai shouted. I heard her hiss.
"Tobi knows Hidan did something to our poor Kat-chan." Tobi sounded like he was not far from Rukai.
"I'm not sure what you did to here Hidan but, even I know it was wrong." Itachi sounded further away than the others.
"I'll bet you tried to sacrifice her to your stupid fake god." Kisame sounded pissed.
"I'll take a piece of that action!" Kakuzu shouted. Obviously about the bet Kisame offered.
"I hope she'll be okay." Zetsu chimed in.
"I thought you'd want to eat her." Rukai chuckled slightly, then hissed once more.
"You better tell us what you did to her. I don't approve of any hidden information. You know that Hidan." Pein's words were colder than ice.
"Okay! I tried to turn her immortal." Hidan confessed.
"Idiot, un." Deidara's voice was even closer than Pein's. It was almost right in my ear. I thought I told him to leave! I wanted to shove him away and tell him to leave me the hell alone.
"Deidara doesn't even belong in this world." Tobi's voice was now near me. He seemed to pierce through Deidara with his words.
"I know that!" Deidara snapped. "I'm well aware that she wanted me to leave, un. Now that you all know what happened between us, I suggest you leave us be!"
"Tobi will not let you be! Tobi even knows what you did with her was wrong!" Tobi snapped back. Wow! I'd near heard Tobi snap before.
"She's waking up!" Pein sounded surprised. I finally was able to sit up. Deidara was to my right and Tobi was at my left. The two were glaring at each other from across the bed.
