Chapter 10
Reasons
My POV
I gazed up at the night sky, speckled with white stars up on a tree branch above camp. Tobi was already asleep, and Deidara was too. I inhaled, then exhaled. All very slowly, trying to take in everything. Dad's whole family was made up of Spirit Traders... How... Why? I'm not understanding this one bit... Oh well... I need to ask him more questions... like, how I was able to read Sasori's mind, and why Sasori and Deidara recognized that song(scenes back in Art is Love in my Book). I'm so curious and confused about so many things... I frowned, and my eyes widened. I punched the tree. WAS I A FAILURE AS AN ANGEL??? Oh... Gah! Get a hold of yourself Kyra... This... I hope this evil story ends quickly, where I can then later start a new life without any knowledge about being an Angel... Just wanna be normal...
I later yawned, and slowly drifted into a short nap, waking up soon. Probably a 3 minute nap because nothing around changed much at all... except for the fact that Deidara was awake, sitting on the branch above mine. I didn't move, and just looked up at him. He was staring up at the moon through the branches, and I could hear Tobi's quiet snoring. I didn't bother to move and just sat, looking up at Deidara. Soon, his gaze wondered down below to Tobi and I. He saw my glowing brown eyes thanks to the moon light, and grinned. I blinked, and returned a gentle smile. Then, he jumped down quietly from his branch to my branch. He wrapped his arms around me, and his warm breath scattered about my neck.
"Whatcha' doing up so late dear, hn?", Deidara cooed.
"I just woke up as I recall...", I told him. "You were asleep a little bit ago, and then I found you awake."
"Oh, yeah, I couldn't sleep, hm.", Deidara nuzzled his nose against my shoulder. "I love you..."
I turned my head to come face to face with him, and I pecked his lips with mine. "Heh...", I blushed, noticing his expression grow embarrassed. "Say, Deidara... What would you do... If I have to go away because I'm an angel?"
"..... Don't make me think about something like this my angel.....", Deidara muttered, burying his face in my back. "I guess... I don't know what would happen, hm... I wouldn't want it to happen, then, I'd throw a fit for a while, probably by killing innocent people all over cause you're gone, yeah... Then, I'd get over it after a long while, I think un...."
"Hee... This is starting to get corny...", I giggled.
"Oh really???", Deidara snickered. He started to tickle my ribs.
"EeEeEk!!!", I squeaked. "Don't—gah! NO—HAHAHA!!!", I laughed out loud. "Shhhh!!! Dei—Deidara! Stop! We're going to wake up Tobi!"
Deidara stopped and moaned. "Tobi can handle it, he's a big good boy, yeah."
"He's still a child, leave him be, and don't make noise!", I hissed quietly.
"Oh, party pooper, hn...", Deidara joked.
"... But seriously Deidara... I think... I think I am going to disappear.", I sighed. Deidara stayed quiet, waiting for me to continue. "I mean, I hope it doesn't happen, but I'm not anything like you, in fact, I thought that I was nothing more than a nobody, a weak normal girl. But no. No, I'm not normal. I'm far far far from that. I'm Rin... I'm her now, cause she was an angel, and I'm an angel. I'm a test subject to see how life plays out, to see how smart I as an angel am, I'm thinking. Whoever sent Merodi and I down here wanted to see if we're really smart. To see if we're able to figure out we're angels. I'm not sure what the reason is, but it's terrible.", I glanced up at the moon. Deidara made no noise and kept his arms around me. "I dunno... I just feel like this was a terrible idea to have been captured by you... You know what? Why? Why was I captured by you and Sasori?", I stopped abruptly, noticing how he flinched at Sasori's voice. Oh, Deidara... I took a deep breath. "I think it was because, every action in life is for a reason, and this reason is unknown for now..."
"... That's a mouthful love, yeah...", Deidara whispered. "I have something to say..." I nodded, and he inhaled, then exhaled, causing shivers to crawl down my spine. "Kyra... We have to go and retrieve the three-tails, hn."
I stared at him. The look in his eye, I knew that wasn't what he wanted to say. I snorted. "Oh... More killing, but I think you've told me that once before Deidara.", I said. Then, I shrugged. "However, you know what, I think that the bet is working. We're not cursing... Heheh..."
"How did you get to that topic, hm?", Deidara muttered, lifting one eye brow.
"I dunno, just thinking about a lot of stuff...", I looked up at the night sky, then back at Deidara. I gave him a warm smile.
One week later...
"TOBI GET BACK HERE!!!!!!!!!", Deidara roared, chasing Tobi.
"TOBI JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW DEIDARA-SENPAI'S CLAY WORKS!!!", Tobi cried, escaping from Deidara with his bag of clay.
"TOBI IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU, YOU'LL GIVE ME BACK MY CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!", the blonde hissed.
Through this whole time, I couldn't breathe... BECAUSE I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD!!!! "HAHAHAHA!!! OH MY GOSH—HAHAHAHA! PATHETIC!!! C-CRAP! I... can't haha... breathe..."
Tobi dived behind me, shivering. "Kyra-chan, help Tobi!"
"TOBI—EH, KYRA!!!", Deidara dived at us.
"GAH! OW! CRAP! GET OFFFFF!!!", we all shouted when Deidara landed on us.
"Owowow... Ouch, Deidara, get off...", I sighed.
"Yowch, Tobi is hurt...", Tobi said beneath me.
"Darn it un... That fu—freaking hurts...", Deidara growled.
We all stood up. Deidara helped me up, and Tobi stood up himself. I brushed off Deidara's hair and his cloak from the dust and dirt. Deidara did the same with me, and Tobi brushed himself off. We stared at each other for a minute, then broke out laughing. Yep, our relationship as a group deepened in the past week... However, one thing stuck in my mind after we had gotten a hold of the three tails and got it to the base. That one thing...
FLASHBACK...
Recently, we had just found out that Kakuzu-san and Hidan-san had died.
"Really huhu... So the zombi-bros are dead...", Kisame snickered. "I wish I could've seen how they died."
"Don't talk about your companions like that!", Pein scolded.
"Who finished them?", Kisame questioned.
I glanced around when no one spoke. Then, Zetsu spoke.
"Konoha troop...", one side said. "It was Kakashi and the 'Kyuubi' jinchuuriki's unit again", the other said.
"They're very strong.", Tobi spoke up. "They even beat up Deidara-senpai."
Deidara and I flinched at his comment. "TOBI!!!", Deidara hissed. "SHUT THE HELL UP YOU BASTARD!OR YOU'LL HAVE TO TASTE MY EXPLODING BAG, HMM!!!"
I glanced at Tobi who held up his arms harmlessly. "Ahahaha...", he laughed nervously. "Patience is a virtue, but it has it's limits too. You're patience may be in that exploding bag, Deidara-senpai.", Tobi said. "Because it's starting to burn."
"TOBI YOU ASSHOLE!!!", Deidara roared. I snickered.
"Deidara, shut up if you don't want to be Tobi.", Pein warned.
Deidara snorted, and Tobi laughed at him.
"And Tobi! You're overdoing things!", Pein shouted. "Show some respect to your senpai."
"OOOOKAY!!! I'M SORRRRY!!!", Tobi cheered.
"And you expect us to catch the jinchuuriki in such conditions?", Kisame pondered.
Pein sighed irritatedly.
"By the way, speaking of it, I really like to start the seal of the Yonbi jinchuuriki right now...", Kisame continued.
"Wait a minute... There is more to say.", Pein spoke.
"About what?", Kisame wondered.
"It seems that someone else has been killed.", Pein said, his voice unchanging.
"Who else?", Kisame asked.
"Orochimaru."
When Pein said that, I was literally about to jump for joy, shrieking aloud with tears of happiness, but I held it in.
"He left Akatsuki 10 years ago...", Kisame recalled. "Does that mean we don't have to seek for him anymore? Well those who did the job must be very strong. Who did it?"
"Uchiha Sasuke...", Pein responded.
I choked on the laughter inside of me. It was quiet.
"I wish I could kill Orochimaru myself, hmm.", Deidara broke the silence.
"Wow... Impressive.", Kisame turned to Itachi. "That's quite a brother you've got there, Itachi."
"Right now he gathered some companions.", light Zetsu said. "Some ninjas who could become troublesome for us."
"You know them?", Kisame asked. He has so many questions.
"You should know them too...", Pein said. "One of them is... of the Houzuki brothers of the hidden mist village."
"Suigetsu? It's been a while.", Kisame sighed.
"There is also Juugo of Tenpin. Itachi, Kisame... You should watch your backs.", Pein alerted them. "They'll surely try to find you."
Itachi remained silent and calm, at least I think he did.
"Everyone else, try to remember what I told you about Uchiha Sasuke.", Pein ordered. "If his team comes to learn too much about Itachi and Kisame, 'Akatsuki's' plans could be blocked."
"Kisame, what kind of guy is that Suigetsu, hmm?", Deidara pondered.
I glanced to Kisame who said, "Ten years ago, he was a nice looking boy, always smiling... But because he was always tearing the arms and legs of his opponents, and because he was cutting off their heads...", Kisame paused, then continued. "He was called a second 'Devil Zabuza'. A prodigy of murder."
Deidara lifted his hand after a moment of silence and said, "They sound very interesting, hmm." Deidara and everyone spoke no more for a while. They seemed to do this a lot, then Deidara again broke the silence. "Well then, I wonder what to do next, yeah..."
"Wha? What do you mean next?", Pein asked.
"STOP WITH THE WHO'S GOING STUFF! WE'VE BOTH FINISHED OUR MISSIONS!", Tobi cried aloud.
"This isn't a joke... The Kyuubi's jinchuuriki still needs to get repaid in full. And Kakashi took my right arm, yeah...", Deidara muttered. "And I could probably take on Uchiha Sasuke too... Since he offed Orochimaru, I don't think I can forgive the little punk.", Deidara said. "TOBI, LETS GO!"
"Deidara wait!", Pein commanded. Deidara stayed. "Next time... Don't let your little mouse human girl peek in on our conversation..."
"KYRA-CHAN???", Tobi said, looking around.
"Tch...", Deidara's hologram disappeared, and I was brought back to my own body...
How did I observe their whole conversation? I read Deidara's mind...
—Sorry it's late! But it's spring break so I got to work on it! Sooo! Kyra can now read Deidara's mind at times! What does it mean to be reading her friends' minds? Why does Kyra feel like something bad will happen now that she can read Deidara's mind? W00H00! Find out next time, thanks for reading, review please, and have a nice day!
