Hey all, I'm surprised I'm getting these all out so much faster compared to Behind the Mask, it's just, I'm able to figure what I want to happen easier, and it flows a little better. And according to reviews it's doing ok too :D

Well, as I'm sure you all have noticed, I reply to EVERY review, and the few that I didn't, either there was nothing to say in reply, or I accidentally deleted it in my e-mail. So, I have a reply for my anonymous reviewer, although I can't say it's very nice. But, I feel I need to reply to this. Here was your review, EXACTLY as it came in my inbox.

Tsukia13,

The following review has been submitted to: Everything That Goes Up Must Come Down Chapter: 1

From: bitchy mcbitch ()

Fifteen-year-olds aren't allowed to live by themselves. I shall repeat again,
fifteen-year-olds AREN'T allowed to live by themselves. Unless they live in
some war torn area in squalor and poverty, which Dei and Naruto obviously
aren't. Everything's fine, but this really pisses me off. Don't you know
anything about the world, for fuck's sake? "Fiction" doesn't mean something
can be total bullshit. Gragh!

Since you MUST have EVERY little detail perfect, I let you in on a secret. You have no idea if anything is war torn or not. Deidara has never said it was, nor that it wasn't. Yes, he has nice things, and there seem to be jobs, but how do you know that he doesn't simply have all this from before the war? That's just it, you don't. And you know what else? I never even said if he was IN our universe, sure, there's a star bucks and high school, but how do you know that it's still Earth? I could have the world be anyway I want! Furthermore, how do you know anything about MY law? ZIP! ZERO! ZILCH! And if you want to get right down to it, wouldn't Masashi's work be "total bullshit" Seeing as Naruto had been living on his own since he was a TODDLER?

And so I can get to my actual chapter, I'd like to say that your opinion is nothing more than a wart on my ass. I only replied for it is a longstanding practice and I only seemed right that your *sarcasm* constructive criticism. *end sarcasm* be replied to.

Saturday June 14,

I went to the doctors again today to find out my eye's condition. There were all kinds of eye checking tools, incase I did still have vision. When the nurse, Suki again, removed the bandages and I saw my face…well, I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this.

Tendrils that varied in size branched off of the largest chunk of burned flesh, which was located on my cheekbone under my eye. It spread like a massive cloud down to my jaw line, and to the hollow of my ear. Tendrils spread out in a magnificent array. They reached over to my nose, overtop my lips, down my neck a ways, and of course over half my forehead. Half of my eyebrow was burned off from one of the tendrils that went over it, and my eyelid. The charred skin was all a huge patch of red. You could even see the little darker red dot's of my pours.

I want to say it's disgusting, but its not. I want to say it's unfair, but I deserve every bit of it. I want to say it hideous, but it's a work of art. So what DO I say?

I have no clue.

The eye itself looks untouched….almost. Across it's surface, following the pattern of the eyebrow burning streak, it was lighter, the iris was a watered down gray-blue, the pupil gray. But of course, instead of the white staying the same, it had developed an enflamed color. Great, now I'm even MORE of a freak, anything else life wants throw at me?

"Deidara?" I looked back at Suki. Her eyes were soft, her face caring. "You ok?" I nodded, not particularly trusting my vocal cords no not scream as loud as they could.

"Can you close your other eye, we need to find out…" She trailed off. I blinked at her. Did I really want to find out? Did I really want to possibly have another problem chucked my way? Suki grasped my shoulder tightly.

"If you want, we can do this another day." It clicked. I swallowed the lump in my throat and hopelessly begged my stomach to stop flipping. I put a shaky hand over my right eye.

"Can you see anything?" Came Suki's voice. A paralyzing jolt shot down my spine. All at once my bones locked, the hair on my skin and the back of my hair raised, my eye's painfully (for my left) stretched to their limits, and my stomach caved in on itself. Leaning over I retched into the trashcan oh-so-conveniently placed by the bed.

"Deidara!" The brunet's voice was alarmed but I hardly even registered it. I was to focused on one thing. One horrible relevance that penetrated me to the very core.

"I-I'm blind." Was all I rasped before darkness engulfed me once again.

(I was going to end the chapter there, but since it was so short after I took away my author's note, I added more ;P)

…

When I awoke later, I was back in my room. Suki was in a chair by the bed but had fallen asleep, and was now laying on my arm. Blinking, I'd tried to figure out what was going on, and failed miserable.

"Suki?" Apparently she was jumpy when awoken. With a jolt she jumped up and knocked her chair away, all the while successfully banging her head on the lamp.

"Ah!" She backed away from the offending object -a natural reflex- Except she tripped over her chair and fell backwards flat on her bottom.

"Owww…wh-what happened?" she groaned sitting up. The look on her face multiple times over sent me roaring with a laughter that I don't think I'd laughed with in years. I had never seen anything so….klutz-ish! Even NARUTO didn't do that!

Suki didn't seem to find it as funny. She scowled, sending a death glare at the me, who by the way was gasping. She jerked herself up, and righted the chair, before stalking over to the mirror. Groaning she then went over to the first aid kit -I began laughing harder- and grabbed some Neosporin with a band-aid. She'd cut open her head! On a LAMP!

"I see your doing great now." She grumbled flicking my cheek. (on the good side) I just laughed harder. Oh Kami, my ribs hurt! I really didn't think it was possible for your ribs and stomach to ache this much from laughter!

"Oh shuddyap would ya!" Suki snapped. Chuckling I finally managed to control myself.

"That was a great wake up call un." Again her mint eyes penetrated my own.

"Well, since I was supposed to ask you this when you woke up…um..your eye…" My happiness evaporated into wisps of like a drop on a stove.

"I can't see…..anything un." My throat closed in again, making my voice squeaky. Suki laid a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." I stare at her. Fine? Fine?! She thinks everything will be fine when I'm blind in one eye, scarred for life, murdered two innocent men, and have been separated from everything I once knew?

Without thinking I push her away, not as rough as intended, and lept to my feet.

"You think everything is going to be a-ok when I've had everything taken away from me un! I can't see my cousin who's like a brother, I've been sent to the LOONEY HOUSE, I'm BLIND in one eye, half of my FACE is MELTED OFF, I MURDERED two INNOCENT men, and you have the AUDACITY say it's going to be FINE!" Suki hit some button on the wall, and three more nurses ,that must've been in the hall they came in so fast, stuck another needle in my arm. Once a-fricken-gain the world faded away.

HOW many time's have I gone unconscious this week?

It's shorter, but I'm out of ideas for now XD
