Rose: Thanks for waiting everybody.

Woohoo! I didn't have to skip a week! Don't you love me?


I cracked my eyes open and groaned lightly as pain flooded my head, reaching up I found that bandages were wrapped around it tightly and at the back I could feel a warm stickiness, obviously some blood had seeped though,

Glancing around I blinked dizzily "oh God…where am I?" I was in the bedroom, on my left was a chair that someone had occupied, they had their elbow on the arm-rest and their chin on their palm snoring lightly, reaching out in the dim light I brushed some of their hair from their face causing them to moan quietly and forced their own cornflower blue eyes open,

Once they focused on me a large grin spread across their face "you're up, un, thank goodness!" I jumped in shock when the blond cupped the back of my head and kissed me forcefully "how are you feeling?"

"Uh…"

"Does your head hurt? Un"

I rubbed the back of it "a little" I answered sheepishly, he ran his fingers through my snowy locks and I felt some hairs catch and break "ow"

"Sorry, un" pulling away I saw the mouth open on his palm and wag its tongue at me, when he caught my dazed look he opened his mouth "are you sure you're alright?" he removed his hand from my grasp and pulled back the curtain to let in the midday sun, the he pressed it to my forehead "there's no temperature, that bump on the head must have just confused you, un"

"Bump?"

This time the man looked worried "yeah, un, Tobi was here and he attacked you. When we arrived you'd been knocked unconscious and there was blood on the floor and the corner of the coffee table, it must have been some hit"

"Yeah" the memories rushed back to me, Tobi had arrived at the house, tried to seduce me and then left after I'd hit the table "that bastard!" I pushed the covers away and stood up shakily "ah…I'm gonna kill him!" Deidara laughed and steadied me when I tripped,

"Leave that to me, un" he pecked my temple and helped to the bathroom,

I was suddenly bombarded with snippets of my conversation with Tobi;

"…Vanilla…"

"…Cinnamon…"

"…Fuck you then fall asleep…"

"Do you…want to take a shower with me?" I asked, looking up at the man, he blinked then laughed,

"Akina, we can do that later, un" I dropped my eyes and nodded, watching him leave the room as I slumped down on the edge of the bath,

"He was right…"

"Of course I was"

I let out a tiny shriek and spun around to see the masked man lying in the tub with his arms behind his head "How did you…what're you-"

"I teleported; and if you really want to take a shower with someone then I'm available"

I grimaced "yeah right!"

"Well…Deidara doesn't seem to care; but I'm always willing to worship you a few times" I threw a bar of soap at his head which he didn't bother to dodge, it bounced off of him and landed on the floor with a dull 'thump' "if you're finished…why don't you strip off and get in the tub?"

"Why can't you leave us alone?"

"Because I love you" scowling down at him I crossed my arms and backed away so I was leaning against the sink "besides, you obviously don't hate me too much"

"Excuse me?"

"You haven't left the room yet" I faltered as I realised he was right and quickly tried to make an escape "run, run as fast as you can, Flower, but you can't escape me as I'll always be here waiting for you to realise your true feelings"

"In the tub?" I raised my eyebrows as I pulled open the door,

"Well, the tub, the bed, the wardrobe, wherever you happen to be and Deidara isn't" I rolled my eyes this time "have you told him about the bite?"

"I was going to tell him in the shower but now I'll just tell him the next time we're alone!"

He chuckled "are you sure that's a good idea? He might get mad and leave you" I growled,

"Fuck off!" I slammed the door behind me and stormed downstairs.


As much as I wanted to tell him I couldn't help but have Tobi's warning echo in the back of my mind, I'd tried healing the bite mark on my thigh but found that what the man had told me was true, it repelled my chakra and sent a sharp shooting pain through my leg whenever I tried to get rid of it,

"Damn" I cursed "fucking bastard!"

I resorted to covering it with make-up, it took a lot of work but the yellow, blue and purple bruise was finally made invisible, I was just glad it wasn't somewhere like my neck, which would have been nearly impossible to hide,

Now all I had to do was wait for the right moment to tell Deidara the truth without getting him mad.


I kept telling myself that I'd tell him after;

After lunch,

After dinner,

After brushing my teeth,

After sex…

We weren't quite there yet, I'd just climbed into the bed and Deidara had pounced on me, trying to remove my clothes and kiss my neck at the same time as I was trying to push him away and tell him about what Tobi did,

"Dei! I don't want to!" I shoved him away and panted,

He cocked an eyebrow "you wanted to earlier, un"

I growled "I'm trying to tell you something!" but he was already back to pushing up my shirt "Deidara!" I lifted my foot up and sank it into his stomach; he doubled over and gasped as I regained my breath "right…are you ready to talk now?"

He nodded "yes…" his voice was strained and he was glaring at me lightly,

"First of all…Tobi and I didn't fight, he didn't knock me out and leave like you seem to think! We barely fought at all…at least not physically…mostly we talked, he did at one point try to…seduce me" I chocked out at last words and the mans eyes widened "but I got away but not before he…left a mark on me" I watched as he forced himself onto his knees,

"What do you mean a mark?"

I slipped off my pyjama pants and opened my legs to show him the inside, then I wiped away the make-up gradually to show the bite bruise, his jaw dropped "like I said, this is about as far as he got…his eyes…I don't know what happened but one moment I was cleaning up a broken vase and the next I was-"

"Shut up!"

I looked up at the man and bit my lip "Dei-"

"Shut up!"

"Please don't be mad at me!" I begged, he growled "just let me finish; I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry I let it get as far as it did but…"

"But what? Un" he spat angrily,

"I'm afraid I couldn't help it because he excited me" I saw his fists clenched "he asked me if our sex life has become boring, I didn't say anything but he already knew the answer, we always do the same thing and for the past few months it's only been about you"

Deidara's voice softened a little "what do you mean 'about me'? I always make you scream! Un"

"I was faking it the other day"

"Huh?"

"And the time before that a couple months ago" his shoulders dropped "I've been dropping hints, I always try to change the position and I invited you into my shower but you never understand, I thought if I left it, it would finally click but…" I sighed "sex is always your thing lately, when you want it I'm supposed to drop everything, lie back and spread my legs and if I say 'no' you sulk, but if I want it and you're not in the mood I'm supposed to just deal with it! Every time it's always missionary and after you're done you fall asleep leaving me unfulfilled! You don't do anything anymore! I want to go back to how we were on the night of our first time when you kissed me all over, to the time after that when you blindfolded me and the time in the hotel when it lasted for hours! Tobi tapped into my weakness and made me feel wanted! He made me feel sexy! I'm sorry I fell for it and I'm sorry if you're mad, you have every right to be but please remember that I never went through it with him, I told him that I'd never cheat on you and you can hold me to that!" I stopped and heaved heavily as I stared at him,

He shifted around "alright, un, we've become boring, you don't like the way I make love anymore and that's fine"

"That's not what I-"

"So if you like the way Tobi makes you feel then maybe you should just go with him instead! Un"

"Deidara!" I cried when he stood up "did you listen to a word I said? I said that I wanted you! I just need more variety in bed; this isn't an attack on you it's an invitation to talk about how we feel!"

He chewed his lip "fine, un, fine, you're feeling neglected and Tobi used that against you. I can understand that, I can deal with that but…but I can't deal with the fact that someone else, especially Tobi, touched you in such an intimate way"

"I knew you'd be mad about that" I mumbled,

"So if I were to…excite you the same way he did, un, would you not feel so unfulfilled?" I smiled and nodded; he ran a hand through his hair and groaned "I don't know what to do; I thought I was doing alright before but now…now I'm just so confused!"

"I'm so sorry" I whispered "I didn't mean-"

"I know, un" he waved me off "it's fine" bending down he hooked a finger into my underwear to pull it down my legs "let's see if this gets you going"

He pushed my knees apart and lowered his head down to my core, I moaned when he ran his tongue over my opening again and again before taking my clit between his teeth to nibble on it lightly and suck, I dug my fingers into the pillow either side of my head and arched my back "oh…oh Dei!" rocking my hips I tried to make him take more of me "oh Dei!" his tongue poked inside and I cried out, gasping at the same time as pleasure spread across my skin in little prickles,

He pulled back and smirked "is that what you wanted?" I nodded and gazed up at him starry eyed, I moaned when the blond started to kiss at my throat, his hair was spreading out and tickling my shoulders; I wrapped my arms around his neck and twisted my head so we could kiss deeply, his own arms found my waist and held me tightly "I'm sorry I got mad, un"

"I'm sorry I made you feel inadequate" I joked, he sniggered before pulling away, I tucked his hair behind his ears "really sorry" he nuzzled my cheek,

"I adore you" I froze "what? Un"

Oh God…

"Akina?"

"I just remembered something…"

"What?"

"Oh God…Oh God! He was right! He's never going to leave!"

"Akina? What are you talking about? Un"

"Tobi said he loved me!" I threw out "oh God! That bastard, that fucking bastard; why did he have to ruin everything?"

"Tobi said WHAT? Un"

I tugged at my waist length hair "he said he loved me! Why did he say that?"

"He'd trying to drive us apart, un, that's it!" the blond soothed but I could see he was upset "there's nothing we can do tonight!" I pecked his forehead,

"Okay" I climbed under the duvet again and got comfy after re-dressing "aren't you coming?"

"I'm just going to check the sentries I set up, un" he blew me a kiss before shutting the door,

I rubbed my face "why does everything I say make everything worse?"

"Because Deidara is an egotistical maniac who will never feel for you what I do"

Oh…shit…


Rose: I love leaving it on cliff-hangers, and that's three times Tobi has had the last word in a chapter, haha,

Review please!
