A/N: I nearly clawed my eyes out, what was I thinking? This was a shit time to write a sad story bit. I was crying as I wrote that last chappie... uwah! Sad! Um... dedicated to Kyle (Deidara), Jacob (Hidan), Tyson (Itachi), and Daniel (Tobi) oh… and Neko (sasori( don't kill me Reahn DX). Deidara is REAL OOC here.
Deidara POV: Who is she, un?!
I watched as Becci shrieked in pain. Her eyes were literally making her cry blood! What the fuck was up with that? It was strangely depressing to watch her as she writhed in pain next to me. We were on my birds, closing in on the base very quickly. She shrieked again, her voice making my ears ring in protest. Sasori looked at her with pity, his brown-red eyes sparkling in the light of the stars. I tried not to let my gaze drift to Itachi but I kept hearing sob-like sounds coming from his direction. I hugged my knees and hummed to Waffle Song to myself. Tobi, a boy who hung out with Zetsu a lot, got that song stuck in my head. I had left a note for her friends, saying we had her. I didn't let Sasori see me being dumb, but I knew it was the right thing to do as Becci was a member in a highly suspicious group.
"We're here brat. Let the birds put us down, then go blow them up. Or go blow up more of Suna." I looked at my Danna with surprise. I looked at the ground, jumped off the bird and lured the birds to the ground. They jumped off and I made the birds spiral into the sky. "Well then?" Sasori knelt beside me as I watched the birds spiral upwards. "Where's the bang?" Sasori was kneeling by Becci, who was trying to control her with Chakra strings.
"Katsu!" The birds exploded in the sky at my command, the bang probably alerting everyone else in the lair to our return. Sure enough, Kakuzu, Hidan and Kisame ran out to greet us. "Oh yay, yeah."
"Well? Pein's anxious; we better get her in there." Kisame muttered, his eyes running over the girl at Sasori's feet, where Sasori had experimented on her. No one looked at Itachi, who was sitting on the dirt a few feet away from us, hiding his face in his hands. "What the hell? Why is she crying blood? Who did what to her?"
"Itachi used the Sharingan on her. We were faced with that or Sasuke coming after us with his Sharingan. It was gay..." Sasori complained as I tried to get the depressed Uchiha up off the ground. "I would rather spend a day locked in a room with Tobi than with her."
I looked at Sasori in surprise. Becci wasn't that bad, in fact she was really nice... I pulled the raven-haired man to his feet, confused as to why he was acting like this. The girl was nowhere near as bad as Tobi and well, hell, I'm confused. He didn't seem to hate her before. In fact, he was nice before.
"I used... sharingan on... on Becci!" Kisame's eyes widened and he looked at the girl once more. "Yeah, Kisame; that's Becci. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
"That's... no fucking way!" Kisame looked at Itachi, then at Becci, then at Itachi again. I'd gotten that Becci knew Itachi but how, I was clueless. "She's so different!
"I'm confused, hm." I murmured to Danna, my eyes narrowed as I looked at the brunette. "How do Itachi and Kisame know the girl, yeah?" No, stop referring to her as the girl. It makes it seem like she's the only girl. "I need answers, un."
"Ask them, I'm clueless too. I must have been on a mission when they brought her here." Sasori wasn't any help and Itachi looked like he'd kill anyone that talked about Becci in front of him. I looked at Kisame and sighed. Danna translated my sigh and looked at the fish-man too. "Ask Kisame. Itachi would probably kill you if you mention Becci around him."
"Kisame, un?" I walked towards the fish man as he fiddled with the television remote. "How do you and Itachi know Becci, un? I asked Sasori but he said he didn't know either, yeah." I watched for the man's reaction. He glanced up at me and back at the TV screen, on which an anime called Death Note played.
"Well... when Itachi was first my partner, we came across a group of samurai, who were attempting to kill a group of travellers. She was the only one left and she was fighting with a fiery passion that most ninja's lack. A samurai was creeping up behind us and she flung a shuriken at him. She saved our lives, and then she was nearly cut down by a different samurai. We saved her but we needed to come back here almost immediately after, and there was nowhere to take her before we returned. Pein agreed to let her stay as long as she didn't leave the hideout or see anyone else. You were here, Sasori was here, and Hidan and Kakuzu were both here. We managed to keep you guys unaware of our visitor and Itachi was almost like a brother to her. She was a real angel and both Itachi and I owe her our lives." Kisame finished and I gaped. She'd been here, right under my nose?
"When, un? How long was she here, hm? Holy cow, yeah! How did you keep her a secret from us, yeah?" I was being rude but I needed to know.
"Erm... she had been here for two weeks when Pein-sama finally cracked and made us get rid of her. I believe it was two years ago... she never left the room Pein assigned for her. Except at night, Itachi and I freed her and she was able to have a shower and everything."
I went and reported my findings too Sasori, he was just as shocked as I had been. A young woman under our roof that we didn't have a clue about? That was a generally interesting thing. I went to find Itachi and found him on the roof. He was staring at the sky as sun rose, sending orange and pink waves out into the sky. I looked at the still distressed man and sighed. He was a wreck. If using the sharingan on her was so bad then why do it?
"Hey." I made my approach loud so I didn't surprise him. "How are you? You seem a bit upset, yeah."
"Hn." Was that all that the sharingan user could say?
"Look, if using the sharingan on her was so stressful, why do it, hm?"
"Hn, I guess it was pretty stupid." Itachi spoke so quietly I had to sit next to him to hear.
"Just curiously, why did her eyes bleed, un?"
"Hn? That? I have no clue. I asked leader if I could talk to her about it so after he's finished I get my go... I haven't talked to her normally for ages."
I guess desire's the key in these situations because I couldn't stop myself as I asked him one final question. "Hey, do you reckon I could come with you when you talk to her, un?"
"Hn... I dunno. Maybe. I guess so. Hn... Don't ask me questions like this if I'm depressed! Okay?"
"Okay, un!" I looked at the man once more. "You gonna be alright, yeah?"
"Hn... just stay up here with me for a bit."
"Um... I guess so, hm. Why, yeah?"
"Hn, I don't want to get lonely."
We were up there for about ten minutes when Pein called Itachi down. Becci was in a little room to the side of Itachi and Kisame's. According to Itachi, this was where she stayed last time and to make her more comfortable she was staying here again. I looked around the room and I wasn't sure she'd be 'comfortable' in the room. It was emptier than mine had been when I moved in. There was a bed and a desk. That was it. At least mine had had a wardrobe in there. I felt sorry for her as I looked at the bleach white walls. It was so dull.
"Why's the blonde here? He's so new and stuff, I didn't expect him to come." Becci looked me up and down, her gaze slightly unnerving. "He's so... hmm, I dunno..." she broke off, her blue-ish eyes meeting mine and her grin slightly predatory and I shivered.
"I'm here to get to know you, yeah. You'll be here for a while, un. I might as well get to know you, hm." My reply was muffled and stopped by Itachi's hand. He took the hand away and I growled at him. "What the hell was that for, hm?"
"Hn... you are so annoying." Itachi grabbed my arm and forced me to sit on the chair in front of the desk, where a heap of pieces of paper flooded the surface already. Snippets of poems and stories stood out amongst the random pieces of paper with sketching. "Anyway, Becci, what was with the crying blood shit?"
"Oh, when I am in a stressful situation and I can't do anything I tend to start to, well... freak out a little. It causes a reaction with my blood cells and I start to cry blood. If I don't cry the blood it tends to become a paralysing fear. I hate being helpless." The brunette shrugged and I nearly scoffed. She was hiding something. I could see that and I hoped Itachi could see that too. If he didn't he really was going blind. "Well, anything else?"
"Hn? Erm... I dunno. You got anything, Deidara?" I started to shake my head but then I remembered the question I needed an answer to. I hadn't voiced it to anyone but I wanted to get to know the girl better. "Well?"
"Hmm... I guess I just wanna find out more about her, un." Umm, I can't believe I just said that. It was so out of character for me. I never got close to anyone. "Is that okay, yeah?"
Itachi's eyes widened and I smiled kindly at Becci. She just shrugged and pulled at her brown hair. I guess she looked a little shy. I suppose a random dude you know nothing about saying he wants to find out more about you is slightly creepy. I hugged my knees and waited for her answer. Itachi stood up and walked out, his pace slightly fast but his eyes focussed on the door.
"Wow, he's like an older brother." Becci stated; her tone was slightly surprised.
"Well, he is actually an older brother. He knows how to act like one. Anyway, I suppose I'm just acting against his normal perspective of me. I'm being nice." I smiled again, and she giggled like a little girl. "I'm an evil terrorist bomber, and I'm being kind. I mean, what's up with that? I can't be nice!" We laughed again, already getting along.
"What do you want to know? I'll tell you some things, but some shit's classified."
"Well, I want to know more about you. Your age, your personality, your family, your favourite things, and also, where you in the same group as Kana?" the last question spilt out before I could stop it.
"Yeah, Kana was my senpai. Though, in theory, I have a higher status than her. But only because I'm adopted. I turn sixteen soon. In November. The seventh." A day after Sasori's... weird. "Um... I ran away from my real father two years ago and I wish I never thought about staying. But I often when I feel lonely. Even though he abused my Chakra and used it against me, he was my father and I loved him. Well... until my mother died. After that he was fixated on my ultimate revenge. The guy was insane, the fact was he was using me to gain the feeling of 'I did the right thing for her.' but it wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't right for me. When I told my father that he started to hurt me, and not just physically. I was always afraid of what he'd do next." Tears were running down her cheeks. Again, I ask, who is she, un?
