Hope you understand my lack of updating, I'm attempting a 3-shotter on a favorite video game series, I'll still update this story and my other one though, just not as frequent, but anyway, I hope you enjoy! B.T.W I'll leave it to you to figure out what the Oracle told Nenin.

What do I do now?

Oh man...! Quick, jump!

With Nen still on my back motionless I swiftly jumped before the strangely-styled shuriken penetrated us. I landed on the rough dirt below us. I turned to see if Kemari was alright.

Her white outfit was dirtied with specks of grass and toned earth. She looked exhausted; if the attack couldn't make her any more tiring; she would already be panting and was hunch-backed.

I tried to step forward toward the traitor, but... My foot didn't move! I thought my foot was asleep, so, I attempted to move my other foot, nothing. I couldn't move my whole body! I was frozen! What the heck?

...

By the Oracle she's walking here! What's she gonna do? With that evil grin of hers she's gonna do something to me!

"Kemari! Do something!"... Nothing, Nen was frozen from movements just as I. What happened to Kemari? Is she hurt? I can't even turn my head!

"Sacrifice, Siren, Sacrifice,"

"You're family, as soon as I rid of Nen and you, soon then, Itachi and I will be unstoppable, heh-heh."

! What? Noo!

"Hmph..."

"Of course Siren, you and your cousin deserve... a special treatment."

"No one resists us, Nen and you aren't the first to die from our wrath."

I... I don't know... I... I really don't want to die... Not by Deya...

No...

Noo!

"D-Deya!"

"S-Stop!"

...

"Siren!"

...

"Nen? But-But, how?" Nen? I didn't even feel him on my back, what's going on? I didn't even hear him falling or something!

"... Listen Deyanira... You will be beaten... N-Not us..."

"You will vanish."

Nen! How's he...? He's using his armguards to block Deya's kunai, Nen saved my life twice! His voice... He's like... His voice-box was like, cut in half or something, his stuttering, he's never like this.

"The damn nerve of you brother! With your damn interruptions!" She sounded like a volcano about to erupt, quickly Nen! Help me out of this frozen jutsu thing! She was incredibly enraged she used one of her hands to ram Nen's side; he couldn't be more fragile so he collapsed about a yard away. If Deya can do THAT with just an arm, what will she do with me? She's pissed off and her fists clenching doesn't make her any calm! I still can't hear Kemari, did that Akatsuki guy take her, dare not he did! She looked toward my face, and I suddenly felt a chill down my spine; of fear. She walked slowly toward my face, I looked wide-eyed at her, trying not to appear frightened; still frozen, but failed. She slowly pulled my pitch-black mask that was covering my mouth and partly my nose, it fell to my neck, and she steadily whispered in my ear. My heart was racing.

"Your time is done." She spoke in a mute voice, almost with difficulty to hear, even while her mouth near my ear. My body was still struggling to be free, and I don't even know if Nen and Kemari are alright! Then, either it was my mind fooling with me, even though it's a terrible time to do so, Deya's genjutsu or reality I found that ear deaf. My right ear was hurting so much I couldn't bear it; it felt like a volcano exploding right next to me! It was bleeding, and I couldn't even place my hand on it, aurgh!

While still observant to my mind and trying not to put too much attention on my deaf and bleeding ear I tried to see what Deyanira was doing; she backed away to the Akatsuki dude and looked like that she said something to him. To my surprise Nen is still up and not giving up, he hesitantly walked in my sight of seeing, as if he barely had the courage and strength left. His crimson clothes were tainted even darker with blood and his golden trim on his attire was covered too with a shade of dark red blood. His mouth has blood dripping and his eyes were barely opened, yet he stood confident to save my life, under such risks that he has to forfeit his own.

"Listen... Siren... Don't g-give up, fight it," He lost his balance but regained it.

"I'll die for you Siren... Remember... I'm always here." Nen...?

"The Oracle t-told me something," He looked down, as if he had trouble trying to say it.

"Still fighting, huh, Nen?" Deya interrupted, at a bad time! Why does she always cut us off?

"It saves us the chakra then, we'd kill you in one blast, heh-heh." What does she have in her hand? She gritted whatever was inside her hand and did some hand signs on the other, the Akatsuki guy joined in.

"Ninja Art, Silencer!" Their hands rammed the air full force and I saw what was in Deya's hands; it was the Augury Pendant, it was given as an item of value to Nen's mother by the Oracle himself, she wore it every day as a sign of loyalty. Nen must be infuriated right now, he knows that the pendant is known to warn our clan of incoming invasions, and not just as a tool, but it was a symbol of the deity we follow. To see it being used like that must really made Nen angry.

It was then that a streak of wind was rushing toward us; it was most likely the Augury Pendant and their jutsu; I can't move so I'm going to get hit! Nen isn't moving, what's he doing?

"Nen, get out of the way! I can't move!"

"... I won't let you die... Even if I have too..."

"No! Nen!" He didn't budge; he was in front of me, ready to take the pain of the blast. My voice wasn't low and covered like it usually is behind my mask / bandanna, and still Nen won't heed my pleads.

"Nen! You're going to get yourself killed!" He remained silent. I won't see him like this, not like this...

"Nen... Stop... You don't have to do this..."

"Nen! Please!" It's... This ain't happening... I'm crying... No... Wait... Stop Siren... Fight this freezing thing! Nen will not die! He took a blow already for me, and now's my payback, time to set us free!

Nen closed his eyes, ready to protect me from the death-dealing blow; won't happen today!

"Kemari! Now!" On cue!

"Ninja Art, Negation!"
