"Mom please wake up." Kairi sat beside her unconscious mother, holding her hand tightly in hers, she prayed. She wanted her mother to wake up from this coma as soon as possible. If she didn't wake up soon the doctors will pull the plug.

"Momma please just wake up." Kairi turned as she heard footsteps enter the room. She stared at the nurse as she walked up beside the little girl.

"Kairi, Your mother has been in a coma for 2 months now. Her conditions are becoming worse and it's not likely that your mother will be waking up soon. Don't you want your mother to be set free? To be with your father in happiness." Kairi clenched her hand into a fist as tears ran down her cheek.

"Than who's going to be with me? Daddy left and I'm not going to let mommy leave me." She stood up and looked at the nurse with a hellish glare. "Why do you want to take my mommy away from me! Why do you want to pull the plug and kill my mother!" The nurse looked at the girl and shook her head. As young as she was the girl had to know the truth about life, even if it hurts.

"This world Kairi, evolves around money. Your mother was lucky to have life support for this long." The nurse glanced at her and walked out toward the door.

"Wait! If I have money my mommy can stay on the machine." The nurse merely nodded and when she left the room, Kairi took a seat next to her mother. "Momma I'm going to get the money I promise." Kairi grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder.

She walked toward the park with her head down. She was 7-years-old, she knew that it would take a lot of money to let her mother stay on life-support. She didn't know where to start to get the money. She didn't know where to go or who to turn to since no one was there for her.

Her father died from a plane crash and with her mother in a coma she didn't have anyone else. No aunties or uncles, Grandfather or Grandmother, no one. She couldn't turn to anyone.

She walked passed the jungle gym where all the children played and she stopped as she glanced at all the parents that were with their children. She remembered being with her mother and father at the park once but all that was a memory now.

"Hey Kairi! Why don't you come and play with us." A girl said from the swings. Kairi averted her eyes from the girl and began to walk again. Spotting the empty bench in the open secluded area. She sat under the tree and lifted her legs up to her chest. She hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees.

"I don't know what to do Mommy. To keep you alive I need money but I don't know how to get it. I don't where to get that much money." She cried as she hid her face in her arms. "I'll do anything to get the money. I want to save you mommy."

"You would do anything." She looked up to see a teenage boy standing in front of her. She nodded her head as he approached her. Extending his hand toward the girl she closed her eyes, in fear. He lifted her chin; opening her eyes she stared up at the blond hair man.

"Are you going to give me the money to save my mommy?" The boy's hand moved to her cheek.

"I'll give you the money but you have to give me something in return."

"I'll give you anything but I don't have much to give." Kairi frowned as his hand traveled down the back of her neck. He slightly bent forward and pulled her ear up to his lips.

"You'll be mine." He whispered as he placed his hand back on her check and looked at her once again. No expression was shown on her face. She was determined to save her mother no matter what. She promised her mother that she would save her and that is what she was going to do.

"Be yours?" She arched an eyebrow. She didn't know what this boy wanted with her but like she said. She would do anything to save her mother.

"You do what ever I say. A child must understand that a dollar is hard to earn around here. So you'll do what ever I say until you can pay the money back to me." The blond boy smirked as Kairi nodded.

"What's your name?" She said in a whisper. She couldn't believe that a guy she doesn't even know would give her money, let alone help her out.

"Deidara." The blond took his hand away from her face. Kairi smiled and jumped from her seat. Deidara was a lifesaver for both her and her mother and all she had to do was be his. With a wide grin on her face she lunged toward the blond and hugged him.

"Thank you so much brother. I'm Kairi." She blurted out.

"Brother?" He inquired; putting his hands on her shoulders he slightly nudged her away.

"Yeah, You're my brother now. You're helping out and helping my brother." With a wide grin on her face Deidara just nodded and turned away from her. She now had money to save her mother and a new friend, her luck was finally changing for once in her life.

The next day everything was going as plan. The nurse informed her that a generous donation was placed on her mothers care. She was going to be on life support until Kairi decided to pull the plug but that will never happen. Her mother was going to live all because of a stranger. Kairi had her mother's life in her hands and now that she had a choice, she would never pull the plug until she got better.

Months passed and her mother still hasn't woken up or gotten any better. Her conditions were getting worse. Her breathing was abnormal and her heartbeat was also slowing down. Each and every month the doctors checked on her conditions and it were only getting worse. There was even a time where her heart complete stopped for 2 whole minutes. Some how Kairi knew her mother wasn't going to pull through. She always did try to push the thought of death away but some how it always came up every time she would visit her.

One year has passed since her mother was on life support and there were no changes. There were changes but not positive ones but negative. She just laid on the bed motionless like a doll. The only thing that was keeping her alive was the machine and she couldn't believe her mother was still not waking up.

On Christmas morning Kairi knew her mother would finally wake up. She's been praying each and every day for her mother and on a Christmas she would have at least that for a present.

"Good morning Kairi, Merry Christmas." Miss. Yuki, one of the nurses said with a grin.

"Merry Christmas." Kairi smiled and headed toward her mothers room. She was soon stopped as Yuki stepped in front of her. An uneasy smile crossed her face as she tried to push the child in the other direction.

"Come on. You should eat. We have a great turkey in the cafeteria." Yuki said as she nudged Kairi through the hall.

"That's okay Miss. Yuki. I'll go visit my mother first and than go get something to eat. I have to give her a present." She soon walked passed the nurse but she was stopped as the nurse took hold of her hand.

"Kairi don't you think your mother can wait. Why don't you come with me and-"

"What happened?" Kairi knew something was wrong. The look of remorse on the nurse's face as she tried to put on a smile made her uncomfortable. Her body tensed up as Yuki's smile faded.

"Kairi you mother she…" Yuki just stared at the child as tears welled up in Kairi's eyes. "I'm so sorry Kairi."

"No this can't be." She shook her head in disbelief. " This can't be happening!" She pulled her wrist out of the nurse's grasp and ran down the corridor. As tears ran down her face she just couldn't imagine what she was going to see. Running down the hall and finally getting to her mother's room she stopped as she looked at the closed door. Hesitating to open the door she took a deep breath. With trembling hands she reached for the doorknob and opened the door. There was another person inside standing beside her mother's bedside.

"Deidara." She looked at the blond as he turned to face her. His body revealed her mother's head covered with a blanket. The longer she stared at the piece of cloth that covered her mothers decease body the more her heart tightened.

"Momma." The tears that streaked her face muffled her whispered words. With a heavy heart she ran to Deidara and wrapped her arms around his waist. She tried everything to save her mother but it wasn't enough. She wouldn't see her mother's smile again or hear her voice. She would never ever hold her hand or hug her. She was alone, with no one to take care of her. There was no one in her life that she could go to.

"You'll be living with me." Deidara said monotonously as he place a hand on her shoulder. She buried her face in his stomach as her tears soaked his clothes. He didn't move from where he was standing until she had calmed down and when she finally nodded. He took her hand in his as he led her out of the room.

Now that her mother was dead she didn't have anywhere to go. She belonged to Deidara now and she was okay with it. It wasn't like anyone was waiting for her. Kairi followed her new guardian with her head up high. She had a brother who would be there for her now and that's all she asked for. She now has someone by her side to take care of her and to grow up with. She trusted him but she didn't know what she was walking herself into.

"I lived with our neighbors until my mother died. That's when I moved in with Deidara and that's when I started to make money." Kairi looked at the three boys who sat in front of her.

"How did you make money?" Kiba inquired.

"I would fight or Drift race." She answered.

"Drift race?" Naruto arched an eyebrow as he waited for her to reply.

"It's like a regular race. Two people with cars over 100,000 plus dollars worth, race and who ever gets to the finish line first wins the car or if the car is wreck after a race they owe money although the track isn't really a straight line. The racetrack is in the streets with narrow roads and a lot of turns. To get through the race you learn how to drift the car, remembered what I did back on the road, on the turn. It's just like that."

"You fight as well."

"Yeah I was trained to do all this. Ever since I was in custody of Deidara I was basically his puppet. Sai, the person at the mall is a subordinate of Deidara and he made sure I got the best education and the best training, he also made sure I didn't run away."

"But the night we found you. You were covered in blood, if this Deidara guy did that to you. How did you escape with that much injuries inflicted on you." Sasuke, with his hands folded underneath his he chin he stared at the girl contently as she hesitated to speak.

"Kairi are you okay?" Naruto also noticed how strange she was acting. It was like she was trying to think things through. Like she was trying to hide something.

"I'm okay it's just-" She hesitated to speak as she thought things through. With nothing to say she got up and walked calmly to the living room. The boys stared at her as she made her way to Naruto's room and opened the door.

"Kairi what's wrong?"

"Nothing, It's just my head." She walked in the room and closed the door. She didn't want to speak anymore and she just wanted time to think.

"What happened, why did she just go like that?" Kiba stared at the shut door and soon got up. "Fuck, I want to help her out but I just don't get her. Why did she just do that?" He repeated as if she was going to get an answer.

"She's hiding something?" Sasuke irritable.

"What makes you think that?"

"She's ignoring us for one and two, the look on her face and the hesitation says everything. Why would a rich guy like Deidara want with a girl like her, he owns a huge company in Tokyo, bigger than Gaara's families oil company. He has all the money in the world, it's like he's using Kairi for something malicious, he's not interested in the money she owes but it's to keep her in his grasp, just for his own use."

"Like a puppet, I know that much but-"

"But what? It means she's doing his dirty work, maybe it's selling drugs or something" Sasuke clenched his fist as confusion swept over him.

"It can't be drugs. Why would he sell drugs, it involves money and that's the last thing he needs." Naruto pointed out.

"That's what's bothering me. I don't really know why he would keep her."

"Maybe it is so he has someone to control, like someone to have sex with." Kiba was uncomfortable at what he said but he had to say it. It could be a possibility and it was an option that made the room ominously quiet. The tension in the room build as minutes passed.

"Than what about the blood? She was covered in blood from head to toe." Naruto finally said.

" She must have tried to escape from him because she was sick of what she had to go through."

" No that can't be right because she would have been-" A loud crash cut Sasuke off. They all looked at the closed door and quickly ran towards it.

"Kairi what was-" Naruto opened the door to reveal broken glass spread onto the floor. He stared in shock as Kairi stood in front of a broken mirror as her arm extended into the mirror with a clench fist placed on the broken surface. Blood ran down the mirror as she just stood there with her fist still in place.

Sasuke pushed pass the shocked blond and took Kairi's bleeding hand off the mirror. He whipped her around for her to face him. The impassive expression on her face made his shoulders tensed. Didn't she feel the pain?

Sasuke dragged her into the living room and placed her on the couch. Naruto came rushing from the bathroom with a first aid kit. Placing the kit beside the crouching raven he stared at Kairi who sat there. She was drained; she didn't have any expression on her face but just a blank expression. She looked like she wasn't thinking of anything, like she was in her own world.

"Kairi, What the fuck were you thinking?" He stretched out her injured hand and laid it on his palm. Shards of glass stuck between her knuckles and as he pulled out the shards that were big enough for him to grasp she winced.

"I have blood on my hands." She said as she looked at the injuries on her hand.

"Of course you have blood on your hands." Kiba leaned toward Naruto. "Is she going crazy?" He whispered.

"What do you mean by that?" Naruto said as he ignored Kiba.

"I always have blood on my hands." Sasuke looked up at her as she trembled. She contently stared at her hands and the fear in her eyes grew each second her eyes laid upon the blood.

"Kairi just calm down." Sasuke started to wrap her hand, trying to get around neatly.

"Why did you punch the mirror?"

"Because I hate the person I see." Naruto and kiba exchange a look of confusion and stared back at the brunette.

"But you're beautiful as ever Kairi. Why would you hate yourself?" Naruto was trying to get information. He needed to know more about her and this was the perfect time.

"All I see is blood when I look at myself." Kairi soon got up as Sasuke finished wrapping her hand and went back into Naruto's room. Kiba soon grabbed her wrist and walked her to the other direction toward Sasuke's room.

"Come on Kairi, that rooms covered in glass just sleep in Sasuke's room and I'll look after you." Kiba walked her through the corridor and stayed with Kairi until she fell asleep.

"What did she mean by that?" Naruto questioned as Sasuke started to put the bandages into the box.

"Don't know but we have to keep a close eye on her. Maybe what Kiba said was right. Maybe Deidara raped her and she's trying to attempt suicide because she feels disgusted with herself." Sasuke got up and clenched the box in his hands tightly. He hated the thought of her being taken advantage like that. The more he thought about it the more he wanted to murder the man.

Naruto stood there as his legs began to weaken. How could he treat her like that? She trusted him. Naruto went to clean up the mess in his room. The blood on the mirror made him shudder and everything inside him was raging in hatred. He wanted to help her so badly but he didn't know how. All he could do was be there for her and try to keep her safe. He would do anything to keep her safe even though it would cost him his life.
