Chapter 8

Questions

My eyes flickered open. Deidara was staring at me worriedly. I sat up, and Deidara watched me nervously.

"What happened, hm?", Deidara asked.

I rubbed my head, and found Tobi sitting on a tree sleeping. It was dusk. I glanced at Deidara. "Just head trauma..."

Deidara pulled me into a warm hug. "Don't scare me like that, yeah... Without Sasori around, since he's better with all the medical crap... I can't help you out when you're like that, yeah..."

I sighed. "Hey, it's alright. I'm fine. However... Deidara, I have a question..."

He pulled out of the hug, hands on my shoulders, eying me. "What's up, hm?"

"... Do you believe in Guardians? In demons from Hell... In angels from Heaven? Do you believe in God?", I asked. He cocked his head, and nodded slightly. I bit my lip. "So... What would you do if you knew an angel... with an unbelievably and strangely large amount of power, that if taken away, could doom the universe?"

"... I don't know what you're asking Kyra, hn...?", Deidara muttered.

I closed my eyes, and took a hold of Deidara's hands. I held them, squeezing his hands just barely. I inhaled the nature's air, and then exhaled. "What would you do... if you yourself, knew an angel, with a huge amount of power... that could doom the universe if it was taken by someone who would abuse that power...?", I opened my eyes, and saw Deidara's worried face. It also had a puzzled look. He was speechless. "......... Would you......... (A) Take that power....... (B) Kill the angel.......... or (C) Fall in love with the angel? That angel has lost her way, and has lost her soul mate. That soul mate is away, and she fell desperately in love with someone else......."

Deidara closed his eyes, biting his lip. "...... Kyra....... Are you telling me.... that you're an angel along with that other black haired kid that was attempting to fight back for you, hm? Also, that you have a power that could destroy the whole universe if it is taken and abused, hmm?" I didn't speak. "Your soul mate is the black haired kid, supposedly, but, you fell in love with someone else, hm... That someone else was Sasori... But, then Sasori died, and you probably fell back in love with the black haired kid, yeah?"

"..... Deidara...... What would you do to me...?", I asked him in a serious tone.

"Kyra...", he pulled my face closer to his, and the tip of my nose touched the tip of his. "... we verified what I would do a long time ago, yeah..."

"..... I can't be with you.... It's been decided. I'm a soul mate with Merodi... and nothing can change that....", I sighed. "No matter how hard we try..."

"..... Are you admitting that you love me, hn?", Deidara questioned.

"I.... have reasons.", I breathed. "Lets just sleep... It's dark, and I want to sleep..."

:xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx:

".........", I opened my eyes to total darkness.

"Kyra?", called a familiar voice.

I turned and found my dad. "I need to ask you questions dad..."

"I knew you needed something the moment you fell asleep and put chakra through the key I gave you.", he said.

I swallowed. "What happens if I don't love my soul mate?"

"... Kyra. It doesn't matter. You're in this world, and you have female human feelings. You don't need to love your soul mate in this world. The test was whether the angels, you and Merodi, would be able to hide the truth. Then, if they were to be found out, and power was taken, the righteous over ruler wants to see what people would do with the power.", he explained. "So far, we have named them, Spirit Traders, like I told you a while ago. He has his results. People want the power for themselves. They are power hungry. Not all are, but a lot are, and they are called the Spirit Traders."

"Okay... I understand that. Thank you for telling me.", I bowed. "Now, I have another question. What powers do Merodi and I have exactly?"

"You have the power to heal any injury, to revive anyone without dying on the spot. If you're weak, you will die. However, if you revive someone with full chakra, you will continue living. You can also take time from one person. Angels have blue eyes. Merodi freely shows that he's an angel because he allows his eyes to be seen. Those are angel eyes.", he said. "Now... Angels have a song. I believe you sang before?" I nodded, remembering that one time I sang without being conscious. Deidara and Sasori had said they recognized the song. I wondered what that was about. "Okay. So, were you around people when you sang?"

"Y-yeah, 2..."

"Did they say they recognized the song?"

Oh, the answer to my question! I thought. "Yes, they did."

"Heheh...", my dad looked down at his feet.

"...? What's going on?", I narrowed my eyes at him. "What happens if they recognized the song?"

"It means that they have a death to look forward to...", he responded. "Did they die?"

I gasped, my hands over my mouth. "....... One of them died...... My friend..... Sasori......."

"Ah... You see, if you sing the song around certain people, and they recognize the song, they will die some time...", he informed. "Not by old age or disease though. It's accidental death causes of a shinobi."

I shook my head, not wanting to hear anything more. My heart ached. So... this is why Sasori had to die... He heard the angel's song... That song can tell an angel if they are going to die an accidental death or what not... This means that Deidara is going to die... Damn... Why didn't I know of this before... I hate this... It's too hurtful...

"Want to hear Merodi's abilities?", my dad asked. I nodded in response. "Okay. Merodi, he can't heal like you. He has the ability to heal one, but, can't revive people and survive like you. Then, he has angel eyes 24/7. So then, he can spot anything spiritual, godlike, or demons. Obito didn't have this, but Merodi did. So, he was easily able to find you, and easily able to realize his job. He knew that he was nothing more than a test subject, but it was alright with him. He understands reality, and learns to accept it."

"Oh...", I looked up, then, back at my dad. I frowned. "Dad?"

"Hm?"

"... Can I ask you one last thing?", I muttered.

"Yes.", he smiled.

"How do you know all this?"

—GAH!!! VISIONS! VOICES!!! ANGELS!!! DEMONS!!! Are you guys hating this? Do you think I'm stupid for putting this? If you are, you can stop reading... I understand... Then, I'm also sorry if you don't like the fact that I made them angels. If it offends you, you don't have to continue with the story either. I don't want anyone offended by my stories. So, after this whole series, I'M GOING TO STOP IT WITH RELIGIOUS CRAP UNLESS IT'S HIDAN'S JASHIN RELIGION HAHAHAHA!!!! Review ^_^
