*Sniff* my first story here on fan fiction has seemed to come to an end… I really hope you liked it though :') I was thinking about doing a second ending, but then I think I would have had to write another chapter or changed something in a past chapter. Or perhaps the ending that could have been if Pein hadn't changed the plan~ I don't know, but this is how it's going to end for now unless I get a spike of creativity. My apologies for this one coming gout so late… I got just got out of school about 5 days ago so I really just un-winded XD Oh! I got a tablet too! So I've been working on art more also. But for now my ducks, I give you a partial farewell on this story, I hope you liked it J enjoy!

At first, the crowd was silent. Astonished, perhaps because of the sudden resignation, but they warmed up quickly to the idea. Your former teammates were the first ones to clap and cheer, then the people next to them, and then the whole entire village.

Your uncle continued his farewell speech until he gave the stage to you. Your heart couldn't have been pounding harder.

"Um… H-hello everyone!"

The crowd went wild.

"Hehe… t-thank you for being so welcoming on such a sudden occasion…" you stuttered. You never really liked being on stage much and had pretty soft voice when it came to talking in front of large groups.. "Um…uh, I'll be sure to try my best on getting everything back on track and running smoothly again. I'll reassure you that I'll protect this land in everyway I can, and make sure that all of you will be taken care of in every possible way. Thank you for accepting me and I'll definitely try my best in everything and, well thank you. Thank you very much!"

With that you gave a wave, but felt if you had to go up like that in front of everyone again you were surly going to throw up. You went back inside as your uncle gave a final wave and people were crying and cheering at the same time. Your uncle came back in and you just gave him the biggest hug you could ever give. You looked at Deidara, and of coarse he was grinning with a smile that said, 'you did great!'

It seemed that everything went according to Pein's plan. He was now in control and has a new base. Itachi put a genjutsu on your uncle so he wouldn't rat you guys out. He wasn't angry or disappointed in you, but the complete opposite. He was happy that you were okay and really didn't mind that you were in charge... But only if he knew you were just taking orders form Pein.

About a half an hour later, all the guards knew that they would be protecting the decisions house where all the supervisors and counselors would be, and there was no one in the mansion but the Alastuki and your uncle.

Pein was right.

The last person who wasn't a part of the Akastuki that would be leaving the building, would be your uncle.

"Bye uncle," you said as you gave the last hug for a while at the back door.

"Bye sweetie," was the last thing you heard him say, and as walked away, Pein closed the door and the Akastuki departed into their new rooms.

You slumped away from the door, so tempted to pull the door open so hard that it cracked against the wall. Then you could just run out and be free, but no.

Your daydreaming caused you to smack against a wall when you should have made a turn that lead to where the bedrooms were. Your vision turned fuzzy as you continued walking with a throbbing head. You made you way into your room and plopped down into your bed facing the wall. You were hoping that your vision would clear, knowing that a hit to the head could mess up your brain, but then you noticed that your vision wasn't fuzzy because you hit your head, but because your were crying. You flipped over so your face was buried into the pillow so you could sob without anyone knowing, even with the door closed.

It was 5o'clock, and right in the middle of winter, which means that the sun has set already. The bed rooms were in the back of the third floor, so they all had windows overlooking the forest. It got darker and darker as the hours past. In those hours Kisame came to call you for a meeting. You told him you wouldn't be attending. It seemed that it wasn't very important because you could skip it without anyone getting mad.

When the meeting ended, Deidara came in your room and sat next to you. He rubbed your back, knowing that you were pretty much depressed. You sat up and hugged him. He put you on his lap and held you.

"It's going to be alright _," He whispered into your ear.

"Oh Deidara…. I lied to so many people today. I said that I would protect them and I handed them over to the hands of the Akastuki."

"Hmm… yeah I get what your thinking, un."

"Yeah…"

"Well think about it this way. We're just living here in secrecy, un."

I knew that… "Um…yeah…"

"Er, okay let's just say 'living here,' instead. I mean it's not like we're destroying anything, right un?"

"Yeah I guess your right." you gave a little smile, "You know, you've made all these situations better for me Deidara, and I just want to know that I couldn't thank you enough for helping me."

"No problem at all. Is there anything else I can do to help un?"

"Yes actually" you paused and looked at him straight into his eyes, "… Deidara… kiss me."

He smiled and pecked you on the cheek first, then went to your lips. You kissed back with all your passion and so did he. I was a pretty heated kiss, packed with love and sincerity. Nothing could have made you feel better right now than being with the person you love.

Maybe this new life wouldn't be hard after all.

But then, you noticed that Deidara had a bandage wrapped around his hand. You broke the kiss and took his hand.

"How'd you do this?" you asked with concern.

"Oh…um…" he did a embarrassed chuckle, "I guess the cat's out of the bag… I, um sprained my wrist when I caught you when you jumped off the roof. Itachi didn't catch you, un. We were down on the training ground with a few other people. Itachi saw you, and I was already on my bird. He put you under a genjutsu and a, well yeah. I caught you un…"

"Oh Deidara, you're so sweet!"

You hugged him so tight that he toppled over on the bed with you right next to him. You both laughed. That you remembered that dream you had a while ago, two figures, laughing together and being happy.

"Oh Deidara, I love you."

"I love you too, un."

And maybe that's all you need to get though with this new life. Someone who loved you back and cared for you. Someone who would always love you for who you are and be there for you all the way, and it looks like you found that person, right here, in the Akastuki.
