Time to update this crazy little fic.
So, I've shown some hints of OroSaso, which was pretty unexpected, and creepy. Some people are also pointing out some HidaDei, which will not really be happening, which I apologize for. I'm just not really good at writing any pairing, other than SasoDei; Trust me, I've tried.
So, I know there's been a major lack of Sasori recently. That should stop in this chapter though. I mean, what kind of game would it be without Sasori?
...Still a game, I know...But not a fun one!
Ah, I'm going to stop talking now.
Please enjoy, and review!^^
Deidara's POV
I had just finished ticking off the last of the danger zones. Thankfully, me and Hidan were not in one. By the time we had gotten to our new "base", which was a large rock on the beach, two other students had died.
I didn't know them, but they were probably a couple. A boy, Manabu, and a girl, Kumiko. Me and Hidan had passed them through the forest. Manabu had a large axe sticking out of his back, and Kimiko was covered in blood. They had obviously been killed by the same weapon.
Hidan was pleased by the axe though. Within seconds, he had pulled it out of the boy's back, and was chanting praises to Jashin.
As for the red-head from earlier, I had no idea what had happened. Were Sasori and Orochimaru a couple? Or was Orochimaru just a pervert? The seconds option seemed more likely.
"I have to go."
I looked up, raising an eyebrow towards Hidan.
"Where, un?" I asked, standing up with him.
"I want to see if I can find any clues, or a way out." The silver-haired male stated, picking up his axe, and passing it to me.
"...I am coming with you, right?" I questioned, passing the axe back to my friend. Hidan shook his head in reply, sighing.
"Unless you want to get fucked up and die, no."
"You can't leave me, un!" I growled, narrowing my eyes.
"It's too dangerous. Look, we'll meet back here tomorrow morning. I may have found something by then. If I'm not there by 12:00, I want you to hide." Hidan sharply replied, trying to pass me the axe again.
"You can't do this, you bastard!" I bellowed, attempting to strike Hidan across the face, and failing.
"It's for the best, you stupid fuck!" He cried, thrusting the axe into my hands.
I huffed, glaring at Hidan.
"What if I die?" I asked plainly, staring at him.
"I wouldn't let you. That's why I've given you the axe." Hidan smirked. "I know you can defend yourself. I've seen you fight."
Before I could reply, Hidan had already ran off. I cussed loudly, kicking a random rock.
Hidan was a complete bastard.
Extremely pissed off, and red in the face, I sat down, looking around. The beach was the only relaxing part about the island, I was kind of tempted to go for a swim. Then I realized stripping off would be a stupid idea.
Can you imagine? I decided to go skinny dipping, and when I get out, someone shoots me? I'd be found all naked, and covered in blood. Someone would think that I'd gone crazy, and decided to live the caveman life or something.
I smiled to myself, at least I was still sane enough to rant about random things.
Suddenly, a gunshot snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up, noticing a mean girl from my class, Tayuya. She had a foul mouth, and a foul temper.
"T-Tayuya, un..." I muttered, staring up at the smirking girl.
"Blondie." She greeted, Flicking her gun slightly. My eyes narrowed.
Within seconds, a painful sensation had hit my arm. I looked, seeing blood seeping from a certain spot. Tayuya had shot me.
"S-Stop!" I cried, glaring at the girl, quickly standing up.
"Why should I?" She smirked, firing again.
I winced as I felt another bullet hit the same arm. The second time was a lot more painful than the first.
"Lights out, blondie." Tayuya hissed, firing towards my stomach. I fell to the floor before I even knew what had happened.
Tayuya had missed.
I decided, the best thing to do was to play dead. After all, the girl thought she had hit me.
"Weak piece of shit." The foul-mouthed girl seethed. I tried not to glare at this, and maintained trying to stop myself from breathing or moving.
"Weaker..." Another voice added.
My heart stopped. It was Orochimaru.
Two louder gun shots were heard, and I tried not to jump. I then heard a soft thud next to me. Tayuya had been killed.
Orochimaru chuckled, and I saw his pale hand reach down, taking my axe, along with Tayuya's gun.
Then, everything went black.
Later, Deidara's POV
I presumed I was dead.
Orochimaru had probably noticed me breathing, and shot me in the head. At least, that's what I hoped had happened.
"Deidara, are you waking up?" A feminine voice asked. I felt a cool hand rest itself against my forehead, and I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was blurred, and I had to blink a few times before it was normal.
My eyes immediately came into contact with a girl. I didn't recognize her, but she was pretty.
"Oh, you're awake!" She giggled, placing a damp cloth against my forehead. I grumbled in reply, slowly sitting up. A shooting sensation came from my arm, and I cried out in pain.
"W-Who are you...?" I managed to make out, staring at the girl cautiously.
"My name's Kiyoko. I don't go to the same school as you, but I've heard of you..." She smiled. "You're the boy that blew up his teacher's desk."
I tried not to laugh. That happened over a year ago, and people still remembered it?
"T-That's right, un..." I mumbled, looking down at my chest. It was bare, and numerous bandages were wrapped securely around my arm.
"Kaedi found you passed out at the beach, next to some girl..." The girl, now known as Kiyoko informed me, raising an eyebrow.
"She shot me, un..." I replied truthfully. "Then Orochimaru showed up, and killed her..."
"I see..." Kiyoko mumbled, shortly smiling. "You missed the latest report. I ticked off your danger zones for you though."
My eyes widened, was Hidan ok?
"W-Who died?" I asked, my heart now racing.
"3 more. That girl, Tayuya. Along with 2 other boys, Eiji and Yoshito." She informed me, grimacing slightly.
I sighed, thank Hidan's god.
"You're safe here, they're all my friends..." Kiyoko smiled.
Whilst she had said that, I looked around in thought. Where the hell am I? It seemed like a small room. The walls were plain, there was a few wardrobes and cabinets, and I was spread out on a single bed.
"Where are we...?" I asked, ignoring Kiyoko's previous statement.
"The lighthouse." She smiled. "Like I said, Kaedi, my boyfriend, found you. He carried you back here, and I tended to your wounds."
"How many are here, un?" I asked, tilting my head.
"Seven, including me and you." The brunette stated. "The girls, me, Haruka, Satomi, and Yuka. Then there's the boys, you, Toshi, and Sasori."
I sat up even more when Sasori's name was mentioned.
"We all go to the same school, so we all know each other well enough." She smiled even more. I just glanced at her, biting my lip slightly.
Kiyoko's smile faltered, and she took her hand off the cloth.
"Deidara..." She began, looking at me. I turned towards her, raising an eyebrow. "Kenji and all...Sasori said he saw it happen...".
"We fell down a hill together, un." I stated, narrowing my eyes.
"A-An accident...?"
"Of course, un!" I yelled.
"I believe you..." Kiyoko smiled, resting her hand on my arm. "Haruka and Satomi are fixing lunch, so get some rest...".
"O-Ok..." I nodded, laying back down.
"I have to lock you in, ok?" She smiled, standing up. "Some of them don't really trust you. Lunch in a minute...".
With that, Kiyoko left, locking the door.
Meanwhile, Sasori's POV
I gazed down at the small tube in my hands.
Poison.
I had found it on the shelf.
That blonde boy, Deidara...He had defiantly killed Kenji; It wasn't an accident. I was watching, I saw it all. Deidara had pulled the axe off the other boy, and purposely struck him round the head with it.
"Hey guys, Deidara's awake!" A voice called. I jumped slightly, quickly pocketing the tube. Kiyoko smiled, running into the kitchen.
"Really?" Haruka, who was currently cooking, smiled, turning around.
"Can he talk...?" Toshi asked, tilting his head.
Kiyoko nodded, smiling even more. "He seems hungry too!"
I began panicking. He was awake. What if he had found a way to escape? What if he killed us all? I slowly stood up, shakily making my way to a pile of water bottles, my back turned to the group of students from my school.
"Don't worry, I locked his door." Kiyoko smiled, approaching me, and patting me on the shoulder. I quickly sat down on a nearby chair, looking down.
"No, I'm sorry..." I began, playing with my hands. "I'm not worried anymore...".
"What happened with Kenji was an accident." She replied, rubbing my back.
"Of course it was! Deidara would never kill anyone, I know his brother!" Satomi exclaimed, approaching us, placing her hand on top of mine.
"Spaghetti's almost done!" Haruka chanted, moving back towards the stove.
"Satomi, go get Yuka from watch, please." Kiyoko smiled.
I watched Satomi rush off to tell Yuka that the spaghetti was ready.
That's it.
The spaghetti.
I could put the poison in Deidara's spaghetti. Then he wouldn't be a threat to us.
"I think..." I began, standing up slowly. "You'd better feed Deidara first...H-He's probably hungry..." I smiled slightly, looking at Kiyoko.
"Right!" Kiyoko smiled, nodding in agreement.
"I'll serve his..." I mumbled, quickly rushing over to the pot of freshly-cooked spaghetti.
"Thanks, Sasori..." Haruka said, walking to the table.
When the everyone had their backs turned to me, I scooped a fair amount of spaghetti into a bowl, along with a fork. Glancing around, I quickly poured the lethal powder into the bowl, mixing it into the food.
"Hey!" Kiyoko yelled. My eyes widened and I quickly turned around, still holding the bowl. "There's still some painkillers left, right? I need some for Deidara."
"The cupboard." Haruka pointed out.
"I-I'll get them!" I stated, quickly moving towards the cupboard. The last thing I wanted to do was look suspicious. Kiyoko smiled, nodding her head.
"Kiyoko, I heard Deidara's awake! That's so great!" A girly voice squealed. Yuka came running into the kitchen, and hugged Kiyoko. She was always a strange one. "Wow, that smells great! Great job, Haruka!" She added, snatching the bowl off me. I let out a gasp, and tried reaching for the bowl.
I was too late. Yuka sat down with the bowl, and took a large mouthful.
"Let me taste test!" She grinned.
I backed away, my eyes wide. This couldn't be happening...
Yuka let out a cry of delight, leaning back into her chair.
"This tastes great!" She exclaimed, grinning more. "Marry me, Haruka!"
"C'mon, Yuka!" Haruka smiled, pushing the girl away slightly. "Calm down now..."
Yuka smiled, continuing to take mouthfuls of the spaghetti. I stared at the girl in fear, watching the scene unfold.
The students all gathered around the table, laughing among themselves. I backed away even more, staring at the group. Suddenly, Yuka let out a cry of pain, and covered her mouth.
"W-What?" Kiyoko asked, crouching next to her.
Blood was dripping through Yuka's hand, which had obviously come from her mouth. Yuka winced, trying to cover her mouth more.
"What's wrong?" Kiyoko cried, now starting to panic, along with everyone else.
After a few more seconds, Yuka eventually removed her hand, and a large flow of blood splattered from her mouth, across the table. Everyone screamed, and I let out a gasp, falling onto the floor.
"S-She's dead!" Haruka exclaimed, backing away from Yuka's body.
"W-Why?" Toshi asked, sounding scared. "Not food poisoning..."
"Deadly food poisoning." Kaedi, who had now decided to talk, piped up.
"I tasted it, I'm fine!" Satomi cried.
"I-It's poision!" Toshi sobbed, pointing to the food.
"Poison?" Kiyoko repeated, looking at the spaghetti.
I let out a quiet, pathetic whimper, and shifted underneath the table. They had forgotten about me.
Satomi let out a scream, and grabbed the gun, a UZI, which was positioned in the middle of the table.
"Who? Who did it?" She screeched, aiming the gun at the group.
"Satomi don't!" Kiyoko yelled, waving her arms.
"It's just a mistake!" Haruka added.
"We're the only ones here!" Satomi yelled back, still pointing the gun. "Haruka, you cooked it. right?"
Haruka backed away as Satomi aimed the gun at her.
"It wasn't me! You and Toshi helped too!" She cried, pointing towards Toshi.
"It was nobody, cut it out!" Kiyoko bellowed, leaning against the table. "Lower that gun!"
"You're suspicious yourself! Haruka interrupted, pointing at Satomi. "Last night, you didn't sleep at all. It means you don't trust us."
"I forgot my sleeping pills!" Satomi bit back.
"Insomnia at your age?" Toshi glared.
"Shut the fuck up!" Kaedi bellowed, reaching for the pot, and slamming it onto the table. "Kiyoko, you screwed up the poisoning!"
"H-How can you say that, you're my boyfriend!" Kiyoko cried, glaring at the boy.
"You schemed with Deidara to escape together!" Kaedi accused, pointing at the brunette.
"No, it was her!" Toshi screamed, running towards Satomi, causing her to cry out in fear, and spray a series of bullets at the boy.
Within seconds, Toshi fell down dead.
Kiyoko screamed, reaching for the gun in Toshi's pocket, and firing it at Satomi, shooting her in the shoulder. Satomi screamed louder, spraying more bullets at Kaedi and Haruka. This killed Kaedi quickly, but left Haruka hanging onto a bit of life.
Kiyoko cried, pulling Haruka behind the table, shooting at Satomi.
"It hurts you assholes!" Satomi bellowed, hiding behind the door. "Stop it, I'm bleeding!"
"Look who's talking!" Kiyoko glared, shooting at the door.
"Shut the fuck up!" Satomi screeched, shooting at the pair. "Toshi tried to steal the gun, so he's guilty!"
"Toshi's dead now!" Haruka whimpered.
"Take this then!" Satomi shouted, running back into the kitchen, shooting.
Within the first few shots, Haruka was already dead. Leaving Satomi and Kiyoko.
Satomi shot at Kiyoko, making her fall limp, but still alive.
It was then, that she spotted me. Screaming, and pointing her gun.
"Not you, right..." She seethed, her face covered in blood. "You don't belong in our group...You don't belong to anyone...".
I whimpered, and shook my head rapidly, holding onto the table leg.
Before Satomi could make another move, Kiyoko opened her eyes, glaring at the girl.
"D-Die..." She muttered, firing one last bullet, which hit Satomi right in the head.
I whimpered, bringing my knees to my chest.
"I-Idiots..." Kiyoko muttered. "W-We're all such idiots...We could have survived..."
Shortly after winning the battle, Kiyoko died.
"I-It's not my fault..." I whispered, staring at the scene. "It's not my fault..."
This wasn't my fault. It was Deidara's. I was just trying to save everyone. Deidara was the killer, not me.
The scene rolled back in my mind over and over again. Deidara had killed Kenji; I saw him. I saw him raise his hand, and strike Kenji with the axe. I was watching...
Except...
Kenji had the axe...And Deidara didn't strike him with it, he held his hands out in defense.
...Deidara didn't kill Kenji.
Meanwhile, Deidara's POV
"Open the door, open the fucking door!" I bellowed, banging my fists against the locked door.
Previously, all I could hear was screaming, and gunshots. Now, All I heard was a quiet whimper.
"What happened, un?" I cried, banging again and again. Soon, falling to the floor.
The handle shook a few times, and the door slowly opened, revealing Sasori.
"Y-You..." I greeted, quickly standing up.
"I-I'm sorry..." The red-head whispered, looking down.
"What happened...?" I asked, walking out into the hallway, passing the kitchen.
The sight made me want to vomit.
I looked at Sasori in question, raising an eyebrow, backing away slightly.
"W-Was it you, un...?" I muttered, staring at him. Sasori quickly shook his head, waving his hands out.
"N-No! I would never..." He admitted, looking down. "T-They all attacked each other, I hid...".
"...I believe you." I replied, placing my hand on his thin shoulder. Sasori looked up quickly, staring at me in shock.
"T-Thank you...So much..." He whispered. I nodded my head in reply, walking into the kitchen.
"We need weapons, un." I stated, placing a few guns into my backpack.
"There's some knives in here..." The red-head stated, pulling out a few kitchen knives from the draws, giving them to me.
"What's your weapon?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. Sasori sighed, pulling out a small, paper fan.
"Wow..." I began, smirking slightly. "That's worse than mine."
I held up my binoculars, earning a slight giggle from the red-head.
"I'm sorry I thought you killed Kenji..." The boy admitted, after a few minutes. I looked at him, biting my lip.
"It's fine, un. We all make mistakes."
After me and Sasori had raided the kitchen, the red-head looked up at me, shifting slightly.
"A-Am I coming with you then...?" He asked, frowning slightly. I smiled, patting his back.
"Seems so, un."
"What happened to your silver-haired friend? The loud one..." Sasori replied, playing with his hands.
"Ah, he went to look for weapons. Seems I found the jackpot though..." I smirked, slinging my backpack over my shoulder.
Sasori nodded, holding my hand, which I smirked at.
"It's ok...I wont leave, un..." I chuckled, squeezing his small hand. I noticed the boy was shaking slightly.
"There's a clinic down the road...We should head there..." He stated, looking down.
I nodded, and we both set off.
Despite everything that had happened, things were actually starting to look up.
