I hid away in my room letting the thoughts of Naruto consume me. He was the first victim to have ever touched me before. I stared out the window to see slow falling grey snow. Instantly I was up and at the window. Once I got there a presence was suddenly behind me.
"Don't fret precious I'm her… step away from the window. Go back to sleep." Pein said with a soft tenderness he only has with me. I nodded and turned around, not noticing Hidan and Tobi taking Naruto's remains outside to be buried.
"Thank you." I whispered then yawned. I crawled into the bed and allowed him to cover me with the blanket and brush my hair back. Pein sat down on my bed and kissed my forehead.
"I want you to keep this innocent bliss within you. Once all the villagers are dead then I will take you as mine. You will become my bride and we will leave everyone here. Sakura… you'll become my personal angel." Pein whispered darkly and dragged a nail from my temple down my jaw line to my chin.
It hurt a little but I said nothing. This was Pein's way of expressing his love and pain. He's never hurt me that much so I never say anything about the pain. I've never said anything but thank you to Pein. He began to hum me a dark lullaby as I slowly fell back.
I fell through the sheets and mattress then through the floor into the oblivion of darkness. This is the place I go when I dream. The place where I'm all alone in darkness, and no one could ever penetrate. I cried here all alone in my dream. I sobbed all night for Naruto's death in my dream. Once I woke up Deidara was leaning against the window sill.
"Deidara?" I asked and rubbed my eyes. He turned to look at me and smiled a small sad smile. I noticed then that he didn't have any nails on both his hands. "What did they do to you?!" I cried and stood up rushing toward him.
"That's the most emotion I've ever seen out of you, yeah." He replied weakly with a horrible impression of his normal grin. He looked down at his nails and winced. "They're mad at me for teaching you so much, un. Apparently they want to keep it all from you."
I stared at him in complete shock with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. "That's… wrong! I asked you these questions! It makes no sense!" I cried in a hollow voice draining away my vocal cords. A white feeling filled my chest sucking away all emotion within me.
"I had fifteen accounts that were considered wrong, yeah. So I have lost fifteen nails in exchange, un. With each question I asked you, that could be considered wrong, and every time I explained something, yeah. This is the reason why they tortured me right after the blonde boy, un." Deidara explained and choked on bile before opening the window and throwing up.
"You need bandages for your nails." I informed him and rushed to the medicine cabinet in my room. He sat on my bed cleaning his face off with a cloth as I began my work. "Thank you… I know that if you knew this would have happened, you would never have explained anything to me. I wouldn't have allowed you to anyway. Well… thank you."
He smiled at me and shook his head weakly. "I know I would, and I will, continue to explain things to you. You need to at least know something of the outside world. You can't stay in this room and continue to lead people to their deaths forever." Deidara smiled then got up to leave.
"Come back later… I know it's a bit selfish but I never learned to not be that way." I said softly with a pleading look. I don't know why I want him around so much. Perhaps it's because he's always been here for me no matter what. Even though his nails were ripped off his fingers I still want him here and he promised to remain.
"I will don't worry." He smiled then the door shut. I was back in a room of darkness once more.
