Uh oh, little Dei gets hurt :( I couldn't bring myself to make this too horrendous or graphic. Anyway, I'm having a CardCaptors movie marathon, so yeah:D Happy Charlie.

Peace out.

~x~

Deidara sat in a room, staring at the wall opposite. It wasn't his room, no. His room was far from here. His room was back with Itachi. He was waiting. That's all he could do. The house had been exactly as he remembered it. Bare…lifeless, with the only pictures being ones in the rooms the press would see.

He could still see Ino's worried face as she and Naruto left to set up a small force, ready to move in when they had enough. Cameras were set up around the room, and Deidara had made sure the door was unlocked, just in case. The sound of the front door slamming open made him jump. It was time to face the music.

He stood, walking shakily to the door of the room. Before he could even blink he had been grabbed and slammed into a wall. He gasped, feeling memories rushing back to him. "You'll pay for that little stunt." His father growled down at him, holding him tightly by the arms. "When I'm through with you, you'll wish you'd never been born!"

"Too late for that, un." Deidara growled back. Inoichi slapped him hard round the face. Had he not been pinned to the wall, Deidara would have been sent flying. Instead, his head snapped round, painfully straining the muscles. "Ah!" He gasped. Inoichi left him no time to recover.

He threw Deidara into the nearest wall like he was a rag doll. Winded and pin a huge amount of pain, Deidara lay in a crumpled heap on the floor, trying not to cry. He wouldn't cry anymore. Not for him. A foot slammed hard into his stomach, making him cough and curl up. The hits didn't stop, feet and fists crashing into his body. A large clump of his hair was grabbed, and he was pulled off the ground.

"I should kill you you little brat!" Deidara screwed up his face and turned his head to the side as Inoichi pulled his fist back to deliver what he was sure would be a fatal blow.

'I'm sorry Itachi.' The blow never fell. Instead, there was a crash of the front door reopening and the sound of many, heavy boots.

"Let him go father." Naruto's voice growled. Deidaras eyes snapped open. He looked over his so called fathers shoulder, seeing his brother, standing in the middle of a group of black clothed men, all holding lethal looking guns. The weapons were all trained resolutely on Inoichi. "Let him go I give the order to shoot."

"You couldn't do that to your own father." Inoichi sneered.

"As far as I'm concerned, you are not my father." Naruto growled. Deidara let out a small yelp when he was dropped to the floor, crumpling again. "Take him away." Naruto ordered. Men moved forwards, grabbing Inoichi, who didn't resist.

"I'll be out before you can prove anything."

"Wrong father." Naruto glared at him. "We have all the proof we need now." Ino suddenly pushed through everyone, racing to Deidara.

"Oh you were so brave!" She cooed again, pulling him into a hug. Deidara winced, feeling the bruised skin being pressured. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah…I think so, un." Deidara mumbled. Naruto bent over Ino, gently smoothing the hair where it had been nearly ripped out.

"Well done Dei." He nodded. "He's going way for good." Deidara nodded, allowing his sister to gently pull him up. "Ino, can you get him to the hospital? I'll deal with the tapes." Naruto asked, glancing round. Ino nodded, pulling Deidara from the house. Deidara was in a daze, knowing he was finally safe. Finally.

xoxoxox

Itachi was sat on the sofa, reading when Kisame let out a yelp. "It's Dei!" Everyone in the immediate vicinity looked round. Another press conference. The little bar along the bottom of the screen read 'Yamanaka horror! The truth behind the governor exposed!'

"He did it!" Kazkuzu gasped. "He actually did it!"

"Sh!" Itachi hissed, leaning forwards to hear better. Cameras flashed, highlighting the bruises on his face. His hair looked shorter as well, like someone had cut it.

"Deidara, do you have any comments to make on this?" Someone asked.

"None, other than I am glad he's finally been brought to justice." Questions were babbled at him, but the news anchors voice cut over any responses he made.

"We have just been given the footage that proved Governor Yamanaka's guilt. This video may upset some viewers, so discretion is advised." Itachi growled. He had wanted to see Deidara more! He ahd missed his voice so much! Why did they have to suddenly change it?! Bastards. His complaints were instantly forgotten when the tape began playing.

Black and white images flashed before his eyes, making him gape in horror. Sure, he had known how Deidaras father had treated him. Pein had told them, but to have it played out like this in front of him was something else. His hands clenched into fists, and his breathing became harsh and ragged. He was literally seeing red as he watched that bastard attack HIS Deidara.

Why didn't Pein let him help? Why didn't he let him bring Dei back here?! Where he was safe! Itachi could hardly breath as he watched it flick back to the news report. He would get to Deidara, somehow.

Time for your choices! Today, you get to make a choice about how our favourite couple meet up again :3

1) Public meeting! Don't want anyone getting suspicious now do we?

2) Kidnap hat trick! Now you're just getting stupid.

3) Glimpses around town before convinient aquaintences of Narutos introduce them! (I like this one :3)

And second set, do you want Kisame's g/f in our next chap?

1) Yes, bring on the lovin for Kisame!

2) No! Let us day dream about him and others more!
