Chapter 16:
"Deidara, I know you're in there. Come out." Hiro tried for what felt like the thousandth time, to get Deidara to come out of his bathroom. Once again, there was no response from the blond, just the sound of running water.
"Why? Why did I enjoy such a thing?" Inside the bathroom, Deidara was curled in a fetal position in the bathtub, water falling on him like rain from the shower head.
"Dei-dama please, come out of there. I have some news that might cheer you up." Hiro tried again, this time with a different approach, but there was still no response from the younger, who unknown to him merely began to lather his body with soaps and bubble bath again.
"I'm coming in there." Hiro declared, preparing to pick the lock. Deidara didn't even acknowledge the fact he had come in once he'd opened the door, simply continuing what he was doing, in spite of his body already being perfectly clean.
"Who did it?" Hiro asked, knowing well that Deidara was raped.
"Hiro-chi..." Deidara sighed out his name brokenly. "Is it wrong? Is it wrong that I liked it?"
"No, sweetie, it's okay. It isn't you that liked it, it's your body. Your body like anyone else's, is prone to respond to sex. Don't feel bad about it. You have done nothing wrong. If anything, the person who dared to do this to you, is the one who has done wrong. These marks are incredible, but they'll heal over time." Hiro carried Deidara from the bathroom to his bed, and tucked him in there, careful not to hurt him, with amazing gentleness.
"Stay with me." Deidara whispered, grabbing tightly onto his hand. "Please, I need you."
"I'm not going anywhere hun, I'm merely getting you some clothes. Hopefully you have something that isn't too tight, if not I'll have to buy you some, lest those marks never heal." Hiro sat down, and spoke softly to him, nuzzling his hand all the while.
"Hurry back please." Deidara supplied, and hugged the teddy bear Hiro had gotten him from the crane machine tight.
"I will angel." Hiro said placing a kiss on his forehead.
Deidara smiled a little bit, when Hiro came back from his walk-in closet, after just three minutes, and took the clothes handed to him. When he finished dressing he took hold of Hiro's hand, and pulled him onto the bed, then hugged him tight after crawling on top of him. "If I don't tell you, will you leave right now?" He asked. Hiro sighed heavily, hugging him back with one arm, and softly combing his fingers through his blond hair with his free hand.
"Not even the gods, could make me leave you. I would appreciate it if you'd trust me enough to tell me though." He said.
"It's not that I don't trust you. I'm just worried, about what he said would happen if I told anyone." Deidara let out a content sigh thereafter, and blinked when Hiro put him on the bed, and got up. "What is it?" He asked.
"This has something to do with Tala being missing, doesn't it?" Hiro countered, causing Deidara to sigh.
"Tell me the truth Dei-dama, please." He looked at the blond, with sad eyes.
"It was Itachi." Deidara admitted with a sigh. "He told me that if I valued Tala's life, I would tell no-one what he did to me."
"Can you put a tracker on him?" Hiro asked, surprising Deidara. The blond thought he would have rushed out of his room, to go find Itachi, and beat Tala's location out of him, or something along those lines.
"I could do that, but what if he notices it?" Deidara chose not to question Hiro's behavior.
"You just focus on getting the tracker on him. If he notices and touches it, the tracker will release a powerful smog of knock out gas. That should give more than enough time to go and rescue Tala." Hiro replied simply.
"Hiro, there is still a chance of failure. Itachi is an Uchiha, they are powerful people, and not just because of their money." Deidara said seriously.
"Failure is not an option, when you are Boris. It doesn't matter who they are, Boris will get his son back, one way or another." Hiro retorted, and scoffed.
"Just give me the tracker in the morning." Deidara said after a few minutes.
"Thank you, for agreeing to do this." Hiro said, as he pulled the covers over them.
"You're forgetting Hiro-chi, that I also love Tala." Deidara supplied, practically attaching himself to the elder.
"I have to say though, I'm a little jealous. If I were the kidnapped one, would you react the same way?" He added, as Hiro wrapped an arm around him, and looked down at him, propping his head up on a hand, elbow firmly placed in the pillow beneath.
"You two are way too alike." Hiro droned, and laughed a bit.
"Tala asked me that once before, when my little brother was captured. I told him I'd hunt the person down, beat his location out of them, and save him within the hour. He called me an idiot, claiming that he'd be dead before I got to him if I did that." He thought back on those words, and smiled a little. Those were the words that were helping him stay calm now, in spite of the fact that, inside, he was screaming.
"Hn. Sounds like Tala. Always calculating things." Deidara remembered how Tala never wasted any words suddenly.
"Hey. If it were me, would you react this calmly?" He pressed, still wanting to know.
"Hm," Hiro began thoughtfully. "If it were you, nah. I would've found Itachi, and beat him to a bloody pulp by now, if it was you. Tala can hold his own for a while, you my pretty, are much more fragile. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself, if I didn't react badly." He leaned down, and placed a tender kiss to the blond's lips after that.
"You want to defy his logic don't you?" Deidara asked, as he stroked Hiro's insane excuse for styled hair softly. Hiro couldn't say anything in response, and instead burried his head in the pillow his elbow had been in, causing Deidara to shift so he could continue to soothingly stroke his boyfriend's light-blue hair.
"He's been living through pain all his life Dei-dama, I don't want to think of the possibility of him suffering right now. He might even be dead." Hiro's words were slightly muffled by the pillow, but Deidara could still decipher them.
"He's not dead. Itachi wouldn't go that far. With my memories of him completely back, I can say that, and ask you to trust me on it. If it's one thing I know about Itachi, it is that he would never kill another breathing soul, unless he was pushed beyond his self control, and he has a lot of it. He can fall to jealousy though, but Tala probably knows that much, and won't push him that far, after all he's not stupid." Deidara's words caused Hiro to sigh, and made his crying audible, despite the pillow he was trying to silence it with.
"Tala's mouth will get him killed. He won't be stupid enough to push Itachi into a jealous rage, but he will be stupid enough to rub it in his face, that nothing he does will hurt him, and that will make Itachi work that much harder, as he attempts to torture him." More muffled words came, and Deidara suddenly gasped.
"I know what he's doing to him." He said sounding terrified.
"What?" Hiro lifted his head, and cranked it around to look at at him suddenly.
"Itachi is using a technique on Tala that he inherited from his ancestors, but he'll go blind in the eye required for the technique if he uses it constantly." Deidara replied.
"What is that technique and what can he do with it?" Hiro asked, as a sinking feeling took residence inside him.
"The name of the technique is Tsukuyomi. With it Itachi can mentally torture a person for as long as he desires. Only other Uchiha can resist it. He can make any pain he puts a person through in the technique feel very very real. If he stabbed you with a sword inside of Tsukuyomi you would feel it in the real world. I've been told by Sasuke that if Itachi wanted to he could even recreate someone's entire memory into a completely different life." Deidara's voice became more and more filled with fear as he spoke.
"Do you think he'd spare Tala mercy?" Hiro asked, after a good while of silence between them.
"Do you?" Deidara countered, too afraid to answer.
"I didn't think so." Hiro retorted, and sat up suddenly. Getting his cellphone out of his pocket, he speed-dialed someone's number, and brought the phone to his ear.
"Did you find him?" A voice Deidara remembered all too clearly asked from the other end. It was Kai.
"Captor: Itachi Uchiha. Currently Imprisoned: At an unknown location. Chances of Survival: High. Chances of Tala being the same after this: None." Hiro replied.
"The Uchiha will taste my fucking wrath." Kai declared, and the call ended.
"Do you really think we can save him?" Deidara asked.
"His body, yes. His mind, I'll work until I'm an old man to undo the damage Itachi has done." Hiro replied.
"I'll be here to help you." Deidara said, and accepted the embrace Hiro offered him thereafter.
"We need to stay together, and we need to stay strong. This is only the beginning." The elder whispered to him, as they both cried.
"I know, but for now, can we just cry?" Deidara whispered back.
"For tonight precious, tomorrow however," Hiro paused momentarily to think of how to phrase what he wanted to say next.
"If it's a war Itachi wants, it is a war he'll get. Tomorrow we fight back." He finished.
