(Shini's P.O.V.)

I see Sasori out of the corner of my eye. He is leaning on his elbow, staring out of the window of my 'Stang. It's hard to believe that I have actually made him laugh. He seems to be the type of person who would sooner die than show any emotion.

Emotions made you weak.

"Where do you live, boy?" at my question, he muttered something, but I didn't catch it.

"Huh?"

"I'm twenty-one." He sighed. I smirked, feeling smug.

"I'm twenty-two, kid. So im allowed to call you 'boy, kid, baby,' or whatever else floats my boat."

Sasori growled lightly. "A year doesn't matter." He said sighing. "Here and then down the next road and we're there." He said sighing. I could feel that he was the type of person who wanted to be in control of any situation he was involved in. And just our luck, we are stuck in traffic. I turned on my radio, trying to drown out the sound of the horns of the other angry drivers. As the song 'Cancer' by My Chemical Romance came on Sasori began to sing, and I have to admit he sung like an angel. I pulled over and stared at the boy in my car.

"How did you learn to sing like that?"

"My mother…. Sung like that I just copied her… No one ever taught me." Sasori said once the song ended looking away, embarrassed. I think he did it subconsciously.

Turn away,

If you could get me a drink

Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded

Call my aunt Marie

Help her gather all my things

And bury me in all my favorite colors,

My sisters and my brothers, still,

I will not kiss you,

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

"Oh really? That's cool." I say not sure what to say.

"This song…She died of cancer a few years back.. This song reminded me of her…" Sasori voice cracked.

The poor kid was crying, he made no noise, just let the tears fall down his face. I leaned down and took his chin in my hands, forcing him to look at me. I don't know why exactly, but I kissed him. He froze in shock, then wrapped his arms around my neck, deepening the kiss. Sasori suddenly pulled away. "No.. Don't." He said his voice cracking the tears slowly stopped after getting heavier. "No.. I'm not going to kiss you. I mean I like you but I will get to know you first." He stated. I smiled, for real this time.

"Sure."

Sasori nodded as they pulled up to his apartment. "I'd invite you up. But as you know I live with Deidara and I've never ment a less clean person in my life." Sasori said sighing. Ever-present smirk; back.

"You haven't seen Yumi's room, have you? Im positive I could deal with it." I squeezed his shoulder then opened the door for him.

"I have to get home early, if Yumi decided to come back from the party early. Can I see you tomorrow?"

"Of course. Dei has your home number. I'll just call you there." Sasori said smiling and kissed my cheek.

I pulled out of the driveway, never expecting what would be there was waiting for me.

(Hidan P.O.V.)

I decided to stay at my sisters' house. Yumi had went to Deidara's friends place for the party and he was sure she'd be ok. A few hours ago I had heard Shini come home and I haven't heard anything else till the door slam closed. I walk down the stairs and see Yumi. She's changed outfits and as per usual she had died her a dark purple and changed her eye color with contacts so no one would guess that when she went to school and the one that raced was the same person. Yumi looked up as Shini walked up to her. I heard the clap of flesh against flesh. Shini had slapped her sister in the face. Yumi's eyes were round and wide with shock. "What the hell Shini?" She demanded. I have never seen Shini this angry before. It scared me. Jashin help us all. My sister, when growing up, was always either calm or sarcastic. But she never got angry. Ever. So I knew that Shini had a justified reason for getting angry.

Yumi's eyes were wide still with angry. "What?" She demanded not knowing why Shini had hit her. I could hear them perfectly though they couldn't see me and I could kinda see them. I could see that Shini's eyes looked enraged. It wasn't what Yumi was wearing though it was more provocative then usual it wasn't worse then what she herself wore so I could not figure out what happened.

"What did that bastard do to you?" she yelled.

"What do you mean? No ones done anything to me!" Yumi yelled back. I noticed her eyes looked alittle bigger and her pupils more rounded than normal but nothing big.

"Don't you fucking lie to me, Yumi! I can smell the weed on your breath!"

My mouth dropped. I knew Yumi was having a rough time and I knew that she didn't like her school, but drugs? I couldn't believe it.

"That's not true! I didn't take any drugs at all!" Yumi said. I could see that it took all of Shini's strength to not smack her again. All she did was open the door.

"If you are going to lie to me, then get out of my house." I decide its gone far enough by now so I quickly walk out and get in between them. "Shini… Whats up?" I said though I knew. My eyes were concerned.

"Shini just doesn't understand." Yumi said her voice rough.

"DEIDARA! Everything is his fault! He gave you the drugs, didn't he, Yumi!" I look at Yumi who now has tears in her eyes. "Why do you hate him? He protected me when you couldn't after you moved out and Hidan was gone and Mom hurt me! Dei-chan protects me!" Yumi yelled. I sighed and looked at Shini. She didn't cry. She never cried. The older Jashinist sighed and bent so she could see Yumi at eye level. "Now listen to me, sis. I left to get custody of you. If I didn't, you would be dead now. Im sure of it. And I had to get Hidan out first. In case you hadn't realized this, he had a tumor, and couldn't take care of himself. Im grateful to Deidara for taking care of you, but this is unreasonable and unjust." Yumi continued crying heavier. I sighed. I hadn't seen or known Yumi before Shini had taken custody of her. She had no clue she just remembered the two years of absolute pain and terror without her older sister and only Deidara there, especially with her boyfriend and everything that happened. I just sighed. "Shini.." My voice is quite and calm. "She doesn't know…" I said as I see Yumi crying harder.

"Hidan had a brain tumor. It grows every five years, and he has to go to chemo Then, because it slowly eats at his brain cells. With today's technology, we know he will be okay, he just won't live to be 100. I don't want you to go full retard. Tell me what Deidara gave you." None too subtle.

"H-he didn't give me anything!" Yumi said defending her friend. While Shini was talking Yumi and hugged me tightly muttering apologies and she still looked scared out of her mind. "Shini…" I said trying to get her to understand Yumi was shattered and should be handled gently not with our usual crassness.

"Go to your room, Yumi. I need to talk with your brother for a minute." Yumi ran up the stairs and into her room but I saw and I knew Shini didn't her calling someone. "What is it?" I asked.

"What should I do, bro? She gets in trouble at school. I knew she liked Jell-O shots, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I mean, it was only a Jell-O shot, right? But the drugs…what has Deidara done to her?"

"Its not just Dei the whole crew that she races with are into drugs, granted Dei's probably the main source but he's not someone you're ever gonna get her to stop talking to. You were alittle harsh but you had every right to be." I say and take a breath. "And you and I were in trouble at school everyday." I say. She barks out a short, harsh laugh.

"Should I talk to him?"

"You can try. But Dei's way to far gone.. Yumi worries me though. I mean we were immune to drugs pretty much cause of Mom but oh well…. Yumi might get her head on straight but the drugs and cigarettes have to stop."

"Thanks for the pep talk, Hidan." As she left for her room, "You didn't cuss at all just now."

"OH, GODDAMNIT!" I growled and grabbed her wrist hugging her. "We'll fucking figure it out damn it."

(Yumi P.O.V.)

I slowly woke up hungover from whatever pills Me Deidara and the crew took last night. I usually didn't do drugs but last night I was angry and stressed. I called Deidara sighing.

"Hey." I say when he awnsers.

"Hey, Yu. Pretty kick-ass party last night, huh?"

"Of course it was, All my victory parties are. Duh! But when I got home Shini and I got in a huge nock-out fight."

"I never really liked her. Did you kick her ass?"

"Nah, Hidan was there and I don't like getting in fights with family, besides I need a mechanic… God what did we even take last night?"

"Reifies. What did Shini get mad at you over?"

"That I took drugs. And she hates you now just so you know.. So I'd stay away from her if you value your life." I said.

"Will Hidan try to kill me?"

"Maybe he will. God that stuff was amazing, stupid hang over though."

"Guess what Sasori told me?"

"He loves Shini? Oh I read her dairy so I knew that they kissed."

"You suck."

"Why thank you. Look can I stay over there for a few days? Then I can skip school and practice and she won't have a clue."

I heard a "HELL TO THE NO!" from outside of my door.

"So can I?" I ask ignoring my sibling on the other side of the door. I'd be gone before they even noticed, I could always pretend he said no and pretend I had to race."

"I WILL GET SASORI TO KICK YOU OUT."

I growled and thanked my stars my friend kept a separate apartment to his own. "Pretty please?" I said knowing my door was locked.

"He told me about Deidara's apartment room. Haha. I win."

"He doesn't have a key and Dei hides his, either there or I'm staying with Itachi!" I scream back, Another safe haven my sister couldn't touch. Itachi's house.

"Congrats, you have been placed under house arrest. Ill get Hidan to take the day off."

I smirked she had already jumped out of the window onto the tree and was driving the way to her car when she called Itachi. "Hey can I stay at your apartment please?"

(Sasuke's P.O.V.)

I walked down stairs to see Yumi, in all her beautiful glory in my kitchen talking to Itachi. I hid and listened in. "Well Shini and I got in a fight I need to stay here."

"Did she kick you out?"

"No said I couldn't leave. Being a complete bitch."

"Shini never does something without reason. She was my science partner in school. Did you do something to make her worry?"

"NO! She just doesn't like Deidara and was trashing him. I wanted to hang out but Sasori and Shini are in love so that means Shini would have Sasori would kick me out. . And with school I just can't go home." She said quietly. Itachi was silent for some time.

"Yumi, I deal with children like you all the time at work. I can tell when I'm being lied to."

"I'm not a kid and my motives aren't childish! I'm your age but didn't want to skip grades you bastard! And I'm not lying I went to the race and won then the after party.. I wore Dei's jacket home witch well.." Itachi knew Deidara took drugs. "So she freaked out and doesn't like him."

"Yes! That's what I have been trying to say!"

"So, if you were telling the truth, you wouldn't mind if I charch Deidara with distribution of drugs to minors?"

"Dei didn't give me drugs! His jacket just smelled like the damn stuff and you fucking bastard!" Yumi could have just as foul as mouth as Hidan. "Dei trust you and if you hurt him I will never forgive." She said quickly standing up her eyes glowing an evil red.

"If he didn't give them to you, then he shouldn't get in trouble."

"But you know he's got drugs at his place! You know what they'll find! The cops hate him!"

"Whats a two hundred dollar fine to Deidara?"

"that would go on his record! You know he wants to get in to the art school and they won't take him if he's got a record! That's his dream Dammit!"

"So you are admitting to it?"

"Not a chance in hell! I never took drugs!"

I could hear a few beeps on the phone.

"Dei? Its Itachi. Yumi here thinks that you didn't give her anything last night. She said that you would subject yourself to a home search to prove it. So, did you give her anything? Yes? Thank you for your time."

"You bastard!" She said and slapped him. "I didn't take it…. And I never said I'd let you do that! You're a manipulating fucking creep! How could you? I trusted you!"

"I'll put health to trust any day."

"how could you!" She demanded tears in her eyes. "There's nothing wrong with it! You've never reprimanded Deidara or Kakuzu when he use to do it! Why am I so damn different?"

"Kakuzu's meth was prescribed to him for his back. And Deidara is older; I have no say in what he does. But I promised Shini that I wouldn't let the same thing happen to you what happened to your parents."

"My parents…..Don't mean anything!" I heard Yumi's voice crack. Even I knew never to bring up parents with her, it was a very tough subject one that sent her on edge. "And Kakuzu was younger then me and that doctor was fake your just a hypocrite!" I heard her yell and could see her shaking though she couldn't see me neither could Aniki.

"Im sorry, Yumi. I made sure that that doctor was arrested for his crime. And Kakuzu didn't even know that doctor was a fake. He took a lie detector test to prove it."

"Yeah and the very drugs you use every day can't make some give a false pass? It's not fare! You're just being mean to me. Just like the rest of them…Just like the kids at school and like Akugami… I hate them all…Why are betraying me to?" I could hear my older brother sigh.

"You want to know a secret?"

Yumi nodded silently. I felt sorry for her, But this was a side for Yumi I only saw at races and at our or Dei's house. At school she was sad and quiet and when any guy she didn't know got near her she ran away. Always.

"Will you tell Deidara if I tell you? It's to help him get better."

"Not unless you want me to…And who says we're not good if we take drugs? Why are we 'sick?"

"Unlike you, Those things are eating away at the inside of his stomach."

"They are?" She said sounding scared. My brother nodded.

"So you'll stay quiet?"

She nodded. "If you want me to Itachi.. But I'll do me best to get him to stop…I cant lose Dei" She said tears in her eyes. At school or anywhere but with friends she seems emotionless and a black void. It almost scared and definitely shocked me how much more real she was now.

"Next week, I'm having my friend from the rehab center come and get him. you can visit, there are busses every day at 5 to take you there."

Yumi's eyes were wide. This ment her sanctuary disappeared. THE one she could always see and whenever she called would come would be gone. "O-ok…"She said her voice a mere croak. She didn't want to go home and she didn't want to just see Dei when other people thought it was ok.

"I know what you're thinking, Yumi. He will come home as soon as he gets better."

"S-so.. Akugami has being coming around…And no one protects me or understands me like him…. Akugami will get me without him."

"If you would like, you could go with him."

"I'm not sick! I don't want people in my past! I don't want people looking through my closets to find skeletons! Besides some of those rehab places hurt people and do cruel punishment….Why cant he stay?"

"I know you're not sick. If you just go and stay in one of the rooms, they wont sift through you. And I have stayed in there at one point in life. Its not that bad."

Yumi couldn't stay. "you idiot!" I felt like saying. She couldn't race there and she was scared of people other then the ones she knew. "But all those people all those weirdoes…All those people who hurt other people…"

"It's not an asylum, Yumi. It's a rehabilitation center. And if you call them freaks, then you are calling Deidara a freak. Is Dei a freak?"

"But I know the place your taking about! Court orders people to go there! People who use drugs in other crimes! And Deidara's not a freak. And Who said I needed rehabilitation anyway? I'm fine just the way I am and so is Dei!" Itachi stood.

"You are dense." He left the house.

I quickly ran over and caught her as she collapsed. "Aniki!" I screamed praying he could hear me.

No response.

I called 9-1-1 as Yumi's breathing shallowed.
