Chapter 14: Save Me
(Mika's PV)
When I woke up I knew three things. One, I was tied to a chair, which is so cliche. Two, my mouth itched from the chloroform. Three, I was really pissed at whoever kidnapped me. When, and if, I get out of here that man with the glasses will lose the ability to have kids.
First I have to get out...
I struggled with the ropes but it didn't help. The ropes dug into my wrists and arms. I didn't dare move the chair, fearing I would fall and wouldn't be able to get up. I didn't hear the door open while I was trying to squirm my way out of the ropes, I only noticed the person when a shadow fell over me. I looked up to meet strange yellow snake like eyes. The man was tall and thin; he was very pale and had long black hair. He gave me a smile, I shivered thinking how his smile was more of a predator watching its pray before it attacks.
"Who are you?" My voice shook slightly. I was never fond of snakes and this man looked like a giant snake to me.
"My dear Mikama, it's good to see you awake. I am Orochimaru owner of The Snake's Nest." I blinked at him. I vaguely recalled a company called that. They were the number one property selling company in Konoha. Before, they didn't own too much land but in the past year or two they suddenly owned half of the properties in Konoha.
"Okay, what do you want with me then?"
"Oh you're just bait. I'm catching bigger and better fish. You see I'm after your little boyfriend and his friends."
"Deidara? What does Deidara have to do with this?"
"Shame, his own girlfriend doesn't even know what her boyfriend does. He's hiding secrets from you, what a shame."
"Shut up! Deidara wouldn't hide anything from me."
"Really, are you sure about that?" Deidara would never lie to me. Sure, he might not tell me every single detail in his life but neither would I.
"I trust Deidara. If he has something he doesn't want to tell me then it's his decision."
"Ah, well I'll tell you what your precious boyfriend is doing then. Let's see how much you care for him after I tell you." I gulped as his face came inches from mine. Then, he started to circle around my chair as he talked.
"You see, when I met Deidara and his friends they were in need of a place to live. I offered them a piece of my property to live on. Of course they accepted, I just didn't tell them that they would owe me in the future." He stopped right behind me and placed his long boney fingers on my shoulders. I shivered and tried to shrug him off but his grip just got tighter.
"Then, came to issue of paying to go to school. Most of them, Deidara included, couldn't afford the school tuition. I, being so generous, offered to pay for that as well. When it was time for them to pay up you should of seen the shock on their faces." He let go of my shoulders and resumed walking in circles around me. I just stared at the wall and tried not to look at him.
"So, I made a deal with them. If they could get rid of the competition my company was facing then I would let them live in the house and keep paying for the school tuition. If they said no, then I would simply send them to jail for not being able to pay for their home. I knew they had not choice but to say yes. Having them work for me has boosted up my company to number one. I'll be able to buy out all the property companies in no time."
"So you were just using them to make more money. You know sabotaging a company is illegal and you can go to jail for it. You hired them, so you would get a life sentence for all the companies you've ruined." I tried to smile. He grabbed my chin and and twisted my face so I was looking at him.
"No one would believe a bunch of kids. They've been working for me for so long that they've become my puppets. Then, you come along and all of a sudden they forgot their place. They no longer do my jobs. By taking you I'll make sure that they know where they stand and who is their master. So, little one, what do you think of your Deidara now?" His voice had gotten very low and his eyes narrowed at me. I pulled my face away from him and glared back.
"I don't care one cent about what Deidara is doing! He's only doing it because he's being blackmailed by you. You couldn't make a name for yourself so you resort to the lowest thing a company can do, ruining other hard working companies. You're nothing but scum!"
SLAP!
Tears stung at the corner of my eyes. I wouldn't allow him to see me cry. My cheek stung and I could taste blood. He gave me a malicious smile and I cowered back into my chair.
"Let's see how you feel when you've been ruffed up a bit." He turned on his heel and walked out of the room. The people from before, the girl and three guys, came in. They gave evil smiles to each other.
"This will be fun, I love playing with toys." The girly looking guy said. They all started to laugh and I cringed. I could feel my stomach turning as they got closer, I couldn't do anything to stop them.
(Deidara's PV)
I paced back and forth in the living room of our house. We had to come up with a plan to save Mika. The other members were silent as well, even Hidan stopped swearing and Tobi was serious for once. I couldn't let Orochimaru hurt Mika, I cared for her too much. Over the past months I've liked her more and more.
"Holy shit!" Talking to myself, I realized the truth.
"What's wrong Deidara-kun?" Tobi stared at me while everyone else was startled out of their thoughts.
"I love her!"
"Who the fuck are you talking about?" Do I even have to say who said that, I don't think so. I was too busy thinking about what I just found out to answer Hidan.
"He's obviously talking about Mika. I was wondering how long it would take you to realize it, brat." I glared at Sasori. He wasn't helping the situation.
"Well, finally he realizes his true affections. Deidara you've just never been in love before so it would take you a while."
"Like you would know Konan, yeah?"
"Well, I do love Pein, so yes I would know about love."
"Awww, Deidara-kun loves Mika-chan! Deidara and Mika sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love! Then, comes marriage! Then, comes-" I slapped my hand over Tobi's mouth and glared at him.
"Finish that sentence, I dear you, un." My voice dripped with venom as I let Tobi's mouth go.
"-the baby in the baby carriage!" I grabbed Tobi by the neck and started to choke him. Everyone else was yelling or laughing.
"Deidara. Let him go, now!" Pein stared at me as I pushed Tobi away from me. Everyone had quieted down when Pein spoke.
"We should focus on saving Mika. You can go after Tobi later." I planed on getting Tobi after this ordeal.
"So, what's the plan Pein." Itachi looked calm as he stared at Pein. How could he be so calm. I wanted to rip my hair out right now.
"Why don't we just charge into Orochimaru's building and grab the bitch and get out?"
"Don't call Mika a bitch, you albino prick, un! You're plan is stupid, yeah!"
"Look who's talking, Blond, fucking, Barbie!" I was about to jump at him but Pein gave me a look. Kakuzu, then, spoke up.
"That's a stupid plan Hidan. I'd even bet my money that it wouldn't work," Kakuzu said as he hit Hidan over the head. Hidan was too impulsive and his plan was stupid.
"Let's come up with a better plan. I think I have an idea." We all looked expectantly at Pein.
(Mika's PV)
They left me on the floor, laughing all the way out. I groaned and turned over onto my side. My ribs might be broken or just bruised, I don't know. My face hurt and I felt the bruises forming. My left eye was swollen shut and my lip was split. I could taste blood and coughed some up as well. It hurt to breath, even a little bit hurt like hell. I cradled my left arm, it had been pulled back so much that I think it snapped. I had blocked everything out while they tormented me, but now I could feel the pain.
"I hate him! Die, die..." My voice sounded horse and it hurt to talk. I felt a tear streak down my cheek. Finally, I just gave in and started to cry. Auntie Mo must be sick with worry and Deidara, I missed him so much that it hurt. I managed to sit up and lean against the wall, the coolness helped my sore back. I didn't know what to do but started to sing; Remy Zero's song "Save Me" popped into my head and I defiantly need some saving.
I feel my wings have broken
In your hands
I feel the words unspoken
Inside
When they pull you under
And I would give you any thing you want
You were all I wanted
All my dreams are falling down
Crawling round and round and round
Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save, save
Come on
I've been waiting for you
I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside
And they pull me under
And I would give you anything you want
You were all I wanted
All my dreams have fallen down
Crawling round and round and round
Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save, save
Come on
I've been waiting for you
All my dreams are on the ground
Crawling' round and round and round
Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't' care how you do it
Just save me, save me
I've made this whole world shine for you
Just save, save
Come on
I'm still waiting for you
I felt so depressed right now. My body was beaten and I was locked in a dark room. I heard someone shouting but ignored it. The lock on the door clicked and I tensed up.
Is Orochimaru back? Did he send his goons to beat me up again? Please just leave me alone...
I closed my eyes hoping that whoever it was would go away. I heard two sets of footsteps coming toward me. My body was stiff as they came closer. I balled my good hand into a fist trying to keep my eyes shut.
"Mika-chan?" My eyes flew open. I knew that voice anywhere. The whiny kid voice that I had grown use to. I was met with one dark black eye and an orange patch on the other. I looked next to him and met a cerulean blue eye that was filled with worry.
"Tobi? Deidara? I'm not going crazy, right?"
"It's us Mika, yeah. You're safe, un." Deidara was at my side smoothing my hair while whispering in my ear. I could cry with joy right now but sobbing hurt too, so I just clung onto his shirt. He helped me up and walked me out of the dark room. Deidara and Tobi couldn't see the bruises I had but once we got out they would.
"Deidara, please don't get mad." I walked slowly with him to the door.
"Why would I be mad, hmm?"
"Just promise you won't be, alright?"
"Promise, un." I sighed as we got out of the room. I blinked my eyes, the bright light hurt. I looked at Deidara and Tobi's faces. Tobi looked horrified. Deidara looked horrified too, but then his face turned angry.
"What the fuck did he do to you, yeah! I'll kill that creepy snake bastard, un!" Deidara looked livid and his face was turned into an angry snarl. I gripped his arm tightly trying to find something, anything, to say to him. Tobi and Deidara led me out into a large open space, this must be where Orochimaru keeps his extra stuff because there were a bunch of crates.
"Holy Shit! Deidara what the hell did you do?" The rest of the gang, being Pein, Konan, Hidan, Kakuzu, Sasori, Itachi and Kisame, were all fighting a bunch of random guys. Kisame had a large club and was swinging it at some burly looking guy. Hidan had an assortment of knives and looked like he was having fun.
"That's the rest of the rescue team, yeah."
"Why do they have very dangerous weapons?"
"..."
Even Konan was fighting and it looked like it took no effort for her. The silvered haired man, Kabuto I believe, was staring in horror at the scene and right behind him was Orochimaru. I looked at Orochimaru's face and could tell that he was pissed. When he saw me his eyes narrowed into slits and I think he even hissed at me. I gulped when I saw him pull something out of his jacket. It was a silver pistol and he aimed it right at Deidara.
"Deidara! Duck!" With as much force as I could I pulled Deidara to the ground; he landed on my bad arm and I let out a scream, it was now defiantly broken. The bullet left a hole in the wall mere inches from where Deidara's head had been.
"I'm gonna blow that bastard up, yeah!" Deidara jumped up and pushed me into Tobi's arms.
"Take Mika away from here, un."
"What! I'm not leaving you! He almost killed you! What are you going to do against a gun?" Deidara grinned and pulled something out of his coat pocket. It was egg shaped and green. The top looked like it was made of metal. Deidara put the metal part to his mouth and bit down on a small metal hook.
"Is that a-"
He nodded and smiled like a maniac. The he pulled the hook out of the grenade and threw it at Orochimaru's direction. The sound was deafening and everyone stopped to cover their ears. Orochimaru just managed to dodge the bomb in time, Kabuto wasn't as lucky for he was laying on the ground bleeding on one side. My stomach rolled and I could feel bile coming up, nut I held it down. I smacked Deidara on the head.
"What the hell are you doing with explosives! It's illegal you baka! You could go to jail for it!"
"Stop worrying, un. I haven't been caught, yeah. You need to-" Another gun shot rang out loud. I ducked but suddenly felt pain rushing up my leg. I looked down to see my ankle bleeding and a small hole. Orochimaru had shot at me and hit my leg, I was sure my ankle bone was shattered because it hurt so much.
"Mika! Mika are you okay?" I looked at Deidara, my head felt light. I had lost too much blood.
"I'm fine. I just need to sleep," I mumbled. Before I closed my eyes I heard another gunshot but this time coming from a different direction. I blacked out after that.
Okay the second to last chapter. I'm so excited for the ending, I've been thinking up ideas for it. I don't know if I should do a time skip to the future or just keep it open ended for your imagination. What do you guys think? Well see you all in the last chapter.
