Deidara was sitting at the bar drinking, that's all he had been doing all night and Ryu was getting bored she wanted to go dance or make out or something. Everyone else was having fun and she was stuck sitting beside Deidara watching him get drunk. She sighed and pushed the straw in her drink around. "If you're so bored go do something." Deidara all but growled under his breath.

Ryu glared a little bit. "Excuse me for wanting to do something with you." She pushed herself off the bar stool and strolled out to the dance floor, she scouted out a small spot in the center of the floor and she quickly picked up the beat to the music and her hips started to dance. She didn't realize that she was attracting so much attention until there was a pair of hands trying to work their way from her hips down to her ass. She smacked them away and danced to the side a little bit to put some distance between them. It wasn't long until there was another set of hands. She knew that it was kind of pointless to argue and so she just started dancing on the guy. He was a pretty good dancer compared to Deidara.

She lost herself in the music and had no idea of the crowd she had attracted. When she finally came back to her senses she was in the circle of a group of guys who were all dancing around her or with her. She glanced over at Deidara who was glaring at her and she knew that she was in trouble, Deidara looked pissed, way more pissed than he had in the car the morning he slapped her. She tried to dance her way out of the throng of men that had enclosed her cutting her off from everyone else and only managed after telling them she was going for a drink and that she would be back.

Ryu walked off to the bathroom but before she was able to disappear through the door to text Daiza for help Deidara grabbed her arm and pulled her off through the back door. Ryu winced when he slammed her into the wall and his grip on her arm tightened considerably. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" he growled.

"I was dancing; all you wanted to do was get drunk. It's not like I was flirting with the other guys." Ryu snapped back. She was really pissed that he was trying to turn it on her and that was bull he was the one who wasn't paying any attention to her at all.

Deidara slapped her hard. "Listen and listen good you belong to me. No one else is allowed to touch you." He glared and his grip tightened even more.

Ryu spat in his face and kneed him in the balls hard. "No you listen, I'm not your whore I'm your girlfriend. If you want a whore so bad then go back to Hazel." She tried to walk away but Deidara grabbed her hair and slammed her head into the wall. Ryu screamed and she could feel the blood running down her head.

"You think you can talk to me like that? You've got another thing coming." He kicked her in the ribs then picked her up and punched her in the side of the head, only making the blood come faster. She was dizzy and she knew that she wasn't going to last long. Deidara picked her up and threw her into the wall of the ally. He picked her up and choked her, he brought his arm back to punch her again but his fist was caught by someone.

"I think you need to leave." Ryu looked through the haze that was forming in front of her eyes and barley made silver hair before she passed out.

Her head was swimming with nauseating pain and she couldn't see beyond the blinding light. She swore she was dead, lying in the ally waiting for the sweet relief that would never come. But death wouldn't be this painful. It meant she was alive, even if just. There was a sharp pain in her head and she winced with a hiss of pain. "Sorry." She recognized that voice but she couldn't place a face with it. Why did it sound so familiar? It was Deidara that much she knew for a fact. But who then? She tried to open her eyes and the pain just intensified. She tried sitting up but couldn't she was pushed back down. "You lost a lot of blood you shouldn't try to move right now."

"Who…?" she couldn't form sentences and she wasn't even going to bother. It hurt too much.

"It's okay," there were lips on her head, "I'm here, I'm not going to let him hurt you anymore." She was lifted and carried somewhere. Ryu struggled to open her eyes, after a lot of blinking and getting used to the light she managed to look up into the eyes of her collage professor. He looked down at her and smiled. "Hey."

"Hi…." She was confused beyond belief. "What happened?" she asked as he laid her down on a bed. She knew that this wasn't her house which meant she was most likely in his. "Where's Deidara?"

"That prick is rotting away in jail right now, after I saw you guys leave I followed but I got there too late to stop him from hitting you." She looked at him and he looked like he was ashamed or something. "But I stopped him and called the cops, when they showed up I assured them that I would take care of you."

"Are we at your house?" she asked.

"Yeah, how are you feeling?"

"My head hurts."

He smiled. "I'll go get you some aspirin, I'll be right back." She nodded and watched him leave. She knew that this was his bedroom, it was too done up with furniture and clothes to be a spare room. She looked around and was surprised to see that it was like any normal bedroom, she was expecting something different but she guessed that just because he was her teacher it didn't meant that he was any different. He came back into the room carrying a bottle of pills and a glass of water. She smiled at him when he handed her the pills followed by the water and took them. "There, now you should get some sleep."

"Where are you going to sleep, Kakashi?"" she asked.

He smiled "I'll sleep on the couch, I'll be fine." Ryu felt kind of bad. "Don't worry about it, I'll be okay."

"Are you sure?" she asked she didn't feel right kicking him out of his bed.

"Yes, now please get some sleep." He smiled and walked out of the room turning off the light. Ryu cuddled up in the sheets and closed her eyes she could talk to him in the morning.
