"The wound will hurt everytime you move it so be you'll be fine for the moment" Konan told Deidara as she finished bandaging his wound.
Konan noticed Deidara looking a bit too down.
"What's wrong?" she asked
"Nothing, it's just that, back there in the woods when we were attacked, this wound wasn't as near as painful as what Kasumi was going through, she must've suffered so much but I- I wasn't able to do anything at all, un" Deidara growled using his hand to cover his forehead.
"You did everything you could, besides, we never even knew what was causing her that pain, I know it had something to do with those two" Konan said trying to comfort Deidara.
The door opened slowly as Tobi enters the room.
"Sempai, are you okay now?" Tobi asked
"I'm fine, un"
"What about Kasumi-chan?" Tobi asked once more
"She's still unconscious. It was too much" Konan answered
"Oh, Tobi is just here to inform you that Pein-san called for the meeting and wanted sempai to be there but advised Konan-chan to stay with Kasumi, just in case" Tobi calmfully said
"But, *sigh* okay, un" Deidara said putting on his cloak and followed Tobi to Pein's office. Deidara took one last glance at Kasumi.
The two entered the room and found that the others were already there.
"Alright, let's begin" Pein began
"So what have you two noticed about those two" Pein asked pointing out to Itachi and Deidara.
"The old looking one, his name is Gotu, he was skilful in attacking with those two sharp hooks" Itachi answered
"The other guy's name was Hakaji, he's stonger than the other. His attacks were the same as Kasumi's, they somehow look a like, the most common was their silver hair and yellow eyes. They said they came from Onisato. Un" Deidara continued.
"The demon village, hmm, So they must they must have some relation with Kasumi then" Pein said rubbing his chin "What else do you know, did they say anything about why they wanted Kasumi?"
"Hakaji said something about her destiny. Un" Deidara added
"Her destiny?" Pein questioned "What destiny?"
"We don't know." Itachi raised his shoulders "I'm guessing there is something you haven't told us about Kasumi, other than the part that she's a demon from a village that was sealed a long time ago, is there something about her you know that could reason why Hakaji wanted her?"
"I never thought it would matter*sigh* she's actually the daughter of the great demon lord Kaji and the priestess Hana but the destiny Hakaji was talking about is the one that I don't know" Pein confessed
"She's an heir" Itachi spoke
"What do you mean?" Kisame confused
"Like having a bloodline of sharringan in the Uchiha clan, her blood connection to her father, the demon lord, could be a part of Hakaji's reasons" Itachi explained
"We're not so sure yet. Everyone must stay on their guard, Hakaji could return anywhere anytime" Pein seriously ordered
"I'll start to plant my plants to patrol around the base for any suspicious chakra presence" Zetsu said
"Wait! Tobi is still wondering what caused Kasumi-chan that pain" Tobi stood up
"Yeah, annoying ones's got a point. What was that all about?" Hidan spoke
"I'm sure everyone has noticed her crystal necklace glowing at that time" Pein confimed
"Deidara was the first to be with Kasumi, so he must know" Itachi spoke
"Well, now that you mention it, right before I was about to---well, her necklace started to glow when Hakaji launched his first sneak attack and then she started screaming in pain, un" Deidara recalled
"There are still so many questions that I'm sure only Hakaji and Gotu can answer. *sigh* Again, stay on your guard, dismiss" Pein announced
All the other guys left the room.......
"Where are you going, sempai? Kasumi-chan is this way" Tobi asked walking beside Deidara pointing to the opposite direction
"I'm going to rest in my room, If I see Kasumi in a bad condition, it'll only make me feel worst. Un"
"Oh, okay, Tobi will accompany sempai" As they both walked to Deidara's room and the others entered their own rooms.
Itachi, however, instead decided to see how Kasumi was doing. Itachi knocked and entered the door but nobody was there but the sleeping Kasumi.
He sighed as he sat beside Kasumi's bed. He then started stroking her hair while staring blankly at her.
"I wish, I could've done something more" Itachi said kissing her forehead. Little did he know, someone was watching him from the slightly opened door.
"Deidara? What are you doing here?" Konan asked as she was heading to the medicine room.
"Oh! Konan, nothing, un" Deidara said surprised as he started to walk away.
Konan went inside and found Itachi sitting beside Kasumi's bed. She knew what Deidara was doing.
"Itachi, what are you doing here?" she moaned
"What were you doing not being here?" Itachi moaned back
"I just thought of getting a quick snack, that's all" Konan told him. "You should rest, I'm sure you're also exhausted of the fight you and Deidara had against Hakaji and Gotu. Don't worry, I'll take of Kasumi" Konan smiled at him.
"Alright, then, make sure of that" Itachi said standing up and leaves the room.
Konan then sighed as she looked at Kasumi's direction
"I hope this doesn't end badly" Konan said getting a bit concerned
Whew! That was hard to write
