Bookworm: *Ya~wn*

Kiku-chan: *Ya~wn*

Bookworm: Yawning's contagious.

Kiku-chan: Yeah...

"Aniki?" Sasori blinked out of his doze and glanced sideways. "Ne?"

He had been sitting there for nearly an hour and was hoping for her to be unconscious for the entire day, guess that wasn't going to happen.

"I'm sorry." She mumbled, fiddling with the blankets, delibrately avoiding his eyes.

"What for?"

The blonde bit her lower lip and held back a small sob, "He hurt you..." She choked out before covering back under the blankets, crying. The puppet sighed as he go up and went over to give her a pat.

"There there...?" He wasn't an expert on stuff like this like Itachi or Konan. Crying=whimp That was how he was raised, but seeing how he couldn't call her that, he just pat her shoulder.

Kiku sat up and up close her cheek were painted red. She wrapped her arms around him and burried her face in his chest.

Then silence.

Sweat drops started to form as the silence continued. 'Maybe she past out again...?'

He felt the blonde stiffen, then, with out warning, he was shoved to the ground. Above, Kiku was panting and seemed to see something he did not.

"Run!" She screamed running out of the room.

"I'm not even going to bother." He grumbled, still on his back. The other Akatsuki can catch her. He wasn't fixing to chase someone who appeared to be having a psychotic break. So in result, he just layed there as chaos arose from the base.

A giant explosion made several chakra signatures flare. It wasn't to long before Konan came stomping in.

"Yo." He said putting a hand up casually. He rolled quickly to his stomach and pushed himself up just in time to dodge the dozen shurikens. "You should be helping us, not lying there like a bump on a log!" The kuoichi snapped as he popped his neck.

"Alright, just don't pelt me with shurikens next time."

xWhat Kiku seesx

Kiku screamed as she ran from her father. Deidara was along side her, his eyes fearful. "Hurry Kiku!" He yelled as they started to zigzag down the dark hall.

"Damn brats!" She heard her father howl as he stumbled after them. The smell of alcohol reeked through the house. The scent was so strong she almost choked on it.

Deidara slammed to a halt and pulled on the door. "Open damnit!" He cursed rattling the partly opened door. He reached on his tippy toes in hopes of reaching the chain lock high above, but it was pointless.

Her hair was suddenly grabbed and she was yanked back on the floor. "Nii-san!"

Deidara whirled around and charged at their chaser. He slammed his head into his gut and she tore herself from his grip. "RUN!" He ordered, "I'll distract him while you hide, yeah!"

But she couldn't move. She was frozen in fear. Daddy was more violent than usual and she just couldn't stand.

Deidara shoved her to his feet and was grabbed by the arm and thrown back against the wall. She watched as he hacked up blood. Tou-san seemed to of forgotten her as he stalked over to Deidara. "It's about time I teach you a listen brat." He snarled, grabbing his collar and flinging him once again.

Kiku's eyes widened and she slammed her tiny fists on him. "Leave him alone!" She cried. He knocked her to the side and spat on her. "Stay out of this or you're gonna be next!"

Deidara had pushed himself into a sitting position and held the side of his ribcage, unable to move as his assailant closed in. He closed his eyes awating to be hit again, but he was lifted up and slammed into the wall. His eyes flew open as Tou-san reached down in his pants.

Kiku gasped in horror and covered her ears, wanting to block out the cries, but couldn't. "Stop it stop it STOP IT!" She cried.

xXx

Everyone was having a feild day trying to catch Kiku-chan. One point she was running straight, then started to zigzag. It was hard because she would suddenly go the other way so they couldn't catch her. She flew under legs and slid down the stairs. Everyone froze as she between the couch and Tv. There was a coffee table too, but that wasn't relevant.

"Leave him alone!" She cried choking from the lack of air, she was coughing and crying to hard to breath properly. She gasp and her hands flew over her ears and she slammed her eyes closed. "Stop it stop it STOP IT!" She pleaded miserably.

Sasori emerged from the crowd and crouched down. "It's alright," He said in a hushed whisper, "You're okay."

She latched onto him, "But you're not!" She wailed, "Daddy...he...I'm sorry!" Sasori patted her back softly as she burried into his chest.

She broke away holding her neck and started to cough more harshly until blood came out. Her eyes lids fluttered before she hit the ground.

Konan was then by her side. The kunoichi rolled her over and started to heal her lungs. "She has a high fever and some internal bleeding in her lungs, nothing I can't fix, but..." Konan shook her head, "Was all this all a memory or an illusion?"

"Definitely a memory..." Hidan cleared, "Hmph, talk about screwed up." Kakuzu rolled his eyes, but couldn't swat him due to the fact he was on the other side of the room.

Sasori blinked, 'memory...' His eyes widened slightly as everything lined up.

"I was lock in a c-closest and couldn't help him...he kept screaming and screaming, b-but I cou-couldn't..." -

"You can say all you want about me, but don't you dare start talking about my older brother like you know him! You don't!" -

"Nii-san has sacrificed a lot for me! So don't go judging him when you don't even know the whole story!"

"I'm curious, but is there a reason your father's crossed out?" -

"Because I hate him."

He now knew, why Deidara wanted his past to be kept a secret. Why he made Kiku promise not to tell. It was one thing to be physically abused as a child, but sexually? That was a whole different ball feild.

Pein seemed to of noticed his movements and stared him down. "Anything you'd like to share with us?"

He shook his head casually, "No, not really."

Leader-sama gave him a dangerously narrowed glare, "Let me rephrase that: Tell us what you just seemed to off figured out."

Sasori sighed, "I preffer to be the one who doesn't spill secrets that are meant to be secretive. But seeing that glint in your eyes, I guess I'll cut the suspense. Deidara and Kiku's dad was abusive both physically and-"

"We were all whacked around by somebody, what the hell's the difference?" Hidan called, rudely cutting him off. "Sure his pride would be fucked up to hell, but that doesn't mean he had to make a big deal about-"

"-They were probably molested as well." Sasori said boredly, this time being the one to cut him off. "So does that answer your question?" He glanced over at Itachi, "I'm surprised you didn't figure it out first."

"Who says I didn't?" The Uchiha said with that look in his eye. Bastard probably knew way before Kiku even joined the ranks of the Akatsuki.

"So what you're saying is that Kiku and Deidara were probably-"

"-Raped, yes."

Then a tense, shocking silence filled the room. One in which he did not wish to be apart of. Lifting Kiku-chan bridal style he made his way upstairs. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get the full blown story when you question Kiku after she wakes up." He said before leaving.

Tomorrow was surely going to be an eventful day.

Bookworm: Not as OMG as I planned, but...oh well~
