Chapter 11

Angel's Song

The next night I was dreaming, I was visited by my dad.

"Dad?", I said.

"Hm? Yes, I'm here. How's everything...?", he asked with a concerned voice.

"Mmm... Everything's good.", I responded. "So... Dad, you're parents were spirit traders..." I saw him flinch. "I just have a couple of questions. Are you... a spirit trader?"

"No. A definite no.", He said.

"Oh, okay... next question... How come... I can read Deidara's mind?", I questioned.

He glanced at me with wide eyes. "Read his... mind...?"

"Um... Yes? I was also able to read Sasori's mind. Not too long before he was killed... It begs a big question though.", I explained. "I wanna know why... how... I highly doubt reading minds are normal."

My dad's ripple effect eyes pierced right through me, full of sadness and concern. "Reading minds... Tell me... do... you sing...?"

"Sing? Oh! Now that you mention it, I did sing... Like, once, when Sasori was there.", I said. "Why?"

"Oh... Kyra...", his voice was low.

"... What?", my heat was pounding.

"When you sang that song... did Sasori and Deidara hear you? And if they did...", he swallowed nervously. "Did they recognize the song?"

I knew something was up. I hesitated before answering. I was scared to hear the results. "Um... Uh... They... did... did recognize the song... Something... Something they said was in their past in which they... they just couldn't remember...Um... I think you told me this already...?"

"Well... I'm not sure but, Kyra... I hate to tell you this...", he murmured.

I clenched my teeth and cracked my knuckles. I was shaking and sweating. "What... is it?"

"That song is called the Angel's Song. A song that people will recognize because they will die because of a choice they made.", he explained. "When you read their minds, you are able to communicate with them. Talk them out of making their decision so that they can live. This only works if the Angel cares about, or is close to that person in some way." My stomach squeezed uneasily. "Hon... Deidara's gonna die."

I woke up with my eyes wide. "What the...", I muttered shaking my head. "Oh that's right... Dad said... Deidara's gonna die..." I looked around me. Deidara and Tobi were sleeping, and I was the only one awake. I'm going to go to mom and dad now... I'm going to go and meet them for real... I thought sadly. Merodi, we'll meet again. We always will. Tobi, good bye. Deidara, I'm going to start a new life and forget anything that ever happened between us and everyone in this ninja world. So, I opened my sketchbook that Sasori had bought me back when. I only drew on a few pages, and they were all precious memories. I took out my pencil then opened to an empty page.

Dear Deidara and Tobi,

I'm leaving to find my mom and dad. I'm going to finish whatever it is that I have to finish, then, I'm going to leave this world. I'm going to have my memory erased by my dad, and run away from this world forever. My dream was to live a normal life, and so far, I haven't succeeded. However, in meeting the two of you, Deidara and Tobi, it's been fun. Tobi, I'm sorry to say, but it was even more fun when Sasori was here still alive and sharing laughs with Deidara and I. If you're reading this, it probably means that I'm already with my mom and dad, and the two of them erased my memories and sent me back to my world to live a normal life forever and not know a thing about any of this anymore. This sounds cheesy, and my tears are smudging the words, so good bye forever. I could never have asked for better friends.
