Small whimpers and whines were coming from the room where Deidara was resting in. A couple of members had already stopped and listened at the door when they passed but no screaming happened so no one bothered to go in and disturb the blond teen. However, what was happening on the other side of the door was something that should have indeed been disturbed.

Deidara was lying in his bed, the covers wrapped tightly around himself and Itachi's cloak in his arms. His eyes were still closed but he was starting to sweat. His whimpers grew louder and his body started to thrash around. Tears were spilling from his tightly closed eyes and he was shaking violently. The blond was trapped in a horrifying nightmare and he was having trouble waking up from it. It didn't help that he was alone in the room.

"N-no...please stop…." Deidara whimpered out as his body thrashed again. "N-not there...please master...I can't...take it…!" Tears were pouring out at a faster rate now. He was actually starting to cry out loud.

~~Nightmare~~

Deidara was pinned under a cold, familiar body. He was being rubbed against. It was skin on skin. He was clearly naked and so was the person above him. He yelped when a long tongue started to run along his neck, followed by a terrifying chuckle. His arms were tied tightly above his head, and his mind felt fuzzy, as if he had been drugged. He was still crying and begging for the person above him to stop what they were doing to him.

"M-master please…" Deidara whimpered out, only to receive a harsh slap across the face that made him cry out in pain.

"This is what you get for running away from me and blowing up my hideout. You nearly killed me and Kabuto. All of my experiments were killed though. You've caused a lot of trouble you little slut. You'll be lucky if I let you live after this." The familiar voice hissed before sharp teeth sunk into the blond's neck.

"I-I'm sorry! I couldn't take it! I-I just...wanted out…" Deidara responded. The tears continued to fall at a fast pace. His body continued to shake violently. The weight suddenly lifted off of him. He didn't dare to open his eyes. He knew who he'd see above him and he didn't want to see it. Not again.

"That's too bad. You knew where your place was. You were supposed to be nothing more than a pet for me to play with. Now you're going to be punished and there will be no preparations. You don't deserve them. After I'm done with you, you'll probably want to end your miserable, pathetic life. I won't stop you either. You don't deserve to be alive. Maybe before I do though, I'll bring in those boys who raped you in your village. I'm sure they're dying to see what you've become." A dark chuckle escaped from the snakeman's throat. Deidara shook harder and tried to thrash around but found that his body couldn't move.

"N-no...not them...I don't want to see them again…" The teen whined out. He felt his legs being pulled apart. No, he didn't want that again. He tried to close them but again, his body failed to move.

"Oh? But they miss their little fuck toy. Who am I to deprive them of having their way with you once again?" The other male replied. Suddenly, the blond felt something pressing against his unprepared entrance. 'No...not this...no…' Deidara thought to himself.

"O-Orochimaru-sama...please! Don't do it! I'm begging you!" Deidara screamed out.

"This is what happens to naughty little boys who don't obey their masters. It's as simple as that, my child. Now be good and let your master hear those delicious screams of yours." Before the blond could even respond, pain shot through his body, causing him to scream in agony.

"STOP PLEASE! IT HURTS!" Deidara cried out, but there was no response, only more pain. It was getting more intense by the minute. He hoped, prayed that someone would come and save him from the snakeman's grasp, but no one did. He was trapped in this nightmare once again, unable to pull himself free from Orochimaru-sama's cold clutches. Soon, his body went numb. He couldn't feel the pain anymore but he knew it was still happening. He was just completely out of it, maybe even going into shock but it didn't matter. He was ready to give up, that is until he heard a voice calling out to him. A voice that as different from his master's voice.

"Deidara! Wake up! Please wake up!" The voice called out. Wake up? What on earth was this voice talking about? He was awake and he was in hell. Suddenly, he felt himself being shaken, everything around him started to spin. "Deidara! Come on, you have to wake up now!"

~~Nightmare End~~

"Deidara!" Itachi had come into the room when he heard the blond screaming and begging for someone to stop. Now he was shaking the trembling, sobbing teen in order to get him to wake up. Suddenly, horrified blue eyes snapped open and the teen shot up in bed. He nearly collided with Itachi's forehead but the raven had managed to move out of the way. Deidara was breathing hard, his body only shook harder as he looked around the room with wide eyes. Tears continued to pour down his cheeks and his body was completely drenched in sweat.

"Deidara…" Itachi called out to him gently, causing the blond to snap his head toward the other. The sight pained Itachi to see. He had never seen someone so terrified in his life. What on earth had this precious angel been through to cause him to have such a horrifying nightmare? Itachi wanted to know badly but he also didn't want to push the subject. Instead, he lowered himself onto the bed and cautiously brought the shaking teen into his arms. At first, the blond tried to fight back on being held but when he inhaled the same scent that was on the cloak he was given last night, he finally settled down and sobbed into the raven's chest.

"It's alright...I've got you…" Itachi muttered softly. After seeing what he just saw, he had finally decided that he became attached to this teen for a reason. He understood why he had the urge to protect the other. From what he had seen , it was obvious that the teen had been through something tragic, something that had obviously left a bad scar that probably would never heal. The question that remained was who did caused still alive? He needed this information, but it would have to wait for now. Right now, he had to focus on calming Deidara down.
