{Kameera's POV}

When I woke up- I didn't want to open my eyes. The dream I had was a happy one- of the past- back in Konoha, surrounded by those I loved and cared about, and those who cared about me. But when I felt a blanket over me, and something under me that felt nothing like the couch I remember, I opened my eyes. Softly jumping back in surprise- I had to keep my small gasp of surprise to myself. Deidara was next to me- which I had not expected. As I looked around the dark room- I realized I was in the room he shared with Sasori. I had never been in one of the rooms that the Akatsuki' slept in- except the first night I was here- but I didn't pay attention to the room I had been in. In the dark, the best I could tell- was that the room was big enough to hold two medium sized beds, a desk, and small dresser comfortably with enough walk space. Softly, I tried climbing over Deidara's sleeping figure without waking him- and did it successfully.

"I see you're up." The voice stopped me in my tracks. Looking across the room, I saw eyes looking at me.

"Yes…" I said, a little unsure.

"Well- Deidara will be getting up at some point so," Sasori said, sitting up and swinging his legs out of his bed. I nodded, and walked out of the room- thankfully, I got to the bathroom before Hidan did. If I didn't, I'd be waiting forever to use it. Finishing up as quick as I could so others could also use it before Hidan, I walked out of the room, and ran into a still sleepy-looking Deidara. Bumping into him, I fell backwards, but someone caught me from behind before I fell. Tilting my head back, I saw it was Itachi, and I smiled gratefully up at him. I saw the corner of his lip twitch upward slightly, and then he disappeared towards the kitchen. Deidara ruffled my hair as he passed, going into the bathroom- and not a second to soon. Hidan came out of his room and stopped when he saw the door was closed.

"Who the fuck is in there?!" Hidan demanded, glaring at me.

"Deidara-san," I said softly, slightly freezing again; Hidan pushed pass me and banged on the bathroom door.

"DEIDARA HURRY YOUR ASS UP!" Hidan yelled through the door. With that, he stalked off, leaving me there, on the floor. Not wanting anyone to see me crying, I crawled to Deidara's room, crawled up under his bed, laid up against the wall, and let the tears fall.

Well, I couldn't tell you
why she felt that way? She felt it everyday
and I couldn't help her
I just watched her make the same mistakes again

What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems
don't know where she belongs
where she belongs?

She wants to go home but nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside with no place to go
No place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside

Her feelings she hides, her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind, she's fallen behind
And she can't find her place, she's losing her faith
She's fallen from grace, she's all over the place, yeah

She wants to go home but nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside with no place to go
No place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside

She's lost inside, lost inside
She's lost inside, lost inside

Rara knew it was too early to be out; but she didn't care. She couldn't sleep- she felt as though there was a poison to the darkness each time she closed her eyes. So now, even as the rain fell from the cloudy, gloomy, sky- Rara walked through the streets. How much time had passed- she didn't know, nor cared. Finally, deciding to give it a rest, she came to a stop under a canopy- but it still leaked.

"Just my luck," she groaned softly, but sat down nonetheless. Rara sat there, staring into space- thinking. Her thoughts roamed everywhere; mostly though, they kept traveling back to Kameera. She had been like a sister to her- and now, she was gone; she hoped that Kameera was safe and happy- wherever she was- hopefully alive. Rara wanted to be able to see her again- at some point in time- if she didn't, and the last thing Kameera remembers was her family arguing, she wouldn't forgive herself. The rain came down harder, and Rara shivered from the cold. Soon, the rain seemed to diminish around her, and a blanket was placed over top of her. Looking up, she saw Neji standing there; Rara was shocked to say the least. Without a word, Neji sat down beside her, and for a little while, they sat in silence.

"Thank you," Rara finally said, and Neji looked over at her.

"For what?"

"Being here… for me," Rara said, a little shy and unsure.

"Oh- well, I saw you sitting here alone," Neji said, looking back out towards the street," And I didn't want you getting sick or anything, so…"

"Ah." Again- the silence engulfed the two of them, but still, Neji stayed there with her.

"What were you thinking about?" Neji asked out of nowhere; Rara looked at him briefly, and then took a small breath.

"Kameera," she answered, her voice not hiding the sadness; Neji looked over at her.

"Don't worry- I'm sure the she's alright. She might not have fit in completely- but she knows how to handle herself for the most part. Kameera is tough when she needs to be- Im sure it's just a matter of time before she comes back." Rara looked at Neji, and there eyes locked- and for a moment, it seemed as though something between them connected.

"Thank you- I needed to hear that." Neji shrugged, and they went back to just enjoying each others company in silence, as the rain continued pouring down.

Calael didn't know what to do- but she felt as though a piece of her was missing. Today would have been Kameera's birthday- and each time it was her birthday, Calael would tackle her. This time though, Kameera wasn't there to tackle; looking out the window, she saw the rain starting to ease up, little by little. Calael walked out of the house and down the streets. Her thoughts clouded her mind- and she thought of Kameera. She hoped that she was okay, wherever she was. After time passed, Calael found herself standing in front of a tree.

"Why did I-"Calael began wondering out loud- and then she saw it. It had been about two years ago at this same tree.

"Come on!" Calael exclaimed happily. Kameera, Rin, and Rara all followed after the excited girl- and found themselves standing in front of a tree.

"Cal- why did you bring us here?" Rin asked, curious.

"I figured that we could sign this tree- as a promise kind of thing," Calael answered.

"What do you mean by promise?" Rara asked, cocking her head to the side.

"Hmm… We could promise no matter what happens, we'll stick together. Nothing will ever split us up," Calael said, and then looked at them," How's that sound?"

"Sounds good to me!" Rara smiled.

"Me too," Rin nodded- and they all looked over at Kameera.

"Um…" Kameera said, unsure, and then said," I guess…" They all smiled at her- they knew she was still a little lost- with loosing her real family, and she didn't know exactly what to do all the time.

"Cal- you sign first- since it was your idea," Rin said, and Calael nodded. Taking a kunai, she carved her name into the bark- Rin followed- then Rara, and finally Kameera. At the bottom, Rin put the word Chigiri with four stars- 2 on each side.

"I promise," all four girls said in unison.

"You'll get sick if you stay out here like this for too long." The voice startled her, and she felt a coat being placed over her. Calael looked behind her and to her surprise, saw Shino standing there- without a coat. That's when she realized it was his coat she was wearing; as she went to give it back to him- he stopped her.

"You keep it," he told her, and she nodded. No one had ever saw Shino without his coat- and it was mesmerizing.

"Thank you," Calael said, finally finding her voice.

"No problem," Shino replied, and after a little bit of silence, he asked," What were you thinking about?"

"Kameera," Calael answered, turning back to the tree," And then the day the four of us done this. We promised that no matter what happened, we'd stick together- and nothing would split us up. Looks like that promise is broken."

"Not yet," Shino said, walking up beside her and looking at the engraved names.

"What do you mean?" Calael asked him.

"It's not broken until you give up all hope- and then you're a failure," Shino explained," But if you keep hoping, keep each other in your thoughts- then the promise is still intact. I have a feeling that Kameera will return- just keep believing in her… Remember Naruto's words." With that, Shino left Calael to her thoughts.

"As long as there is a place that someone thinks about you- that's home." Naruto had said once, and Calael smiled; she nodded to herself once, and promised to always think about those she cares about.

Yeah I know it hurts, Yeah I know you're scared walking down the road that leads to who knows where. Don't you hang your
head don't you give up yet when courage starts to disappear I will be right here.

When your world breaks down and the voices tell you turn around. When your dreams give out I will carry you, carry you.
When the stars go blind and the darkness starts to flood your eyes. When you're falling behind, I will carry you.

Everybody cries, Everybody bleeds, No one ever said that life's an easy thing. That's the beauty of it, when you lose your
way, close your eyes and go to sleep and wake up to another day.

When your world breaks down and the voices tell you turn around. When your dreams give out I will carry you, carry you.
When the stars go blind and the darkness starts to flood your eyes. When you're falling behind, I will carry you.

You should know now that you're not alone. Take my heart and we will find, you will find, your way home.

When your dreams give out I will carry you, carry you. When the stars go blind and the darkness starts to flood your eyes.
When you're falling behind, I will carry you, carry you, I will carry you, carry you, I will carry you, carry you, I will
carry you.

{Otogakure (sound) Normal POV}

Kabuto walked down the halls, trying to keep his mind focused. Orochimaru had sent him to get one of the test subjects and inject one of the newest poisons. As much as he tried, though, he couldn't stop his mind and thoughts from wondering to Kameera. He was a spy- 'a traitor'- there was no way he could have fallen in love…but yet, somehow- he had…and with Orochimaru's illegitimate daughter nonetheless. Sighing, he knew that no matter how much he tried to forget about Kameera- he never would.

Cannot touch, cannot hold, cannot be together
Cannot love, cannot kiss, cannot love each other
Must be strong and we must let go
Cannot say what our hearts must know
love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here
in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone
love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here
in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

How can I not

Cannot dream, cannot share sweet and tender moments
Cannot feel how we feel, must pretend its over
Must be brave and we must go on, must not say
What we've known all along

How can I not

How can I not love you

Must be brave and we must be strong
Cannot say what we've known all along

How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

How can I not love you
When you are gone
