A/N: Oh no…

"Sasori-kun, are you staying here all night?" Itachi asked silently. His voice was low and gentle.

Sasori kept his eyes on Deidara, who was still unconscious for one and a half hours. Without looking back, he answered, "Yes, Itachi. Thank you for your help."

"Sempai, we will visit tomorrow, okay? Please tell Deidara to get well soon; we'll be waiting for him in school next week." Kisame said, showing a small piece of hotdog stuck between his teeth.

"Tobi will miss Deidara-sempai!" Tobi cried.

"We have already called Grandma Chiyo. She said she'll arrive soon." Itachi said.

"Thank you, Itachi." Sasori looked at them. "Be safe, all of you."

"You too, sempai."

When they we're a step away to go outside the room, Kisame looked back again, seeing Hidan. He was sitting on a white chair a meter far from the foot of the bed; his head was tilted, his hair was not in its usual laid back form but rather covering his eyes.

"Hidan, are you okay there? I think you should g—

"I WILL STAY."

"Okay. Take care of yourself." Kisame replied, closing the door gently.

Sasori grasped Deidara's hand tightly. Wake up soon, Deidara. Please...

"I love Deidara. I just don't know what the fuck was wrong with me!" Hidan said. All of a sudden, he was crying.

Sasori's brows furrowed as he glared at Hidan, who wasn't looking. "This is your entire fault! Why can't you understand Deidara's feelings?"

Hidan looked at Sasori intently. Sasori was like a ghost; a supernatural creature. "I love him. What the hell is wrong with that?"

"You hurt him, Hidan. A lover doesn't do that." Sasori tried to control his temper. That moment he was like teaching ABC's to a first grader.

"I just can't accept that he loves—of all fucking damn people—YOU!" nerves were appearing in his temples.

"It's his choice. Just leave him alone and make Deidara happy."

Hidan smirked. "Do you think it will be all that easy for both of you?"

No response.

"What do you think Deidara's parents will do once they knew about this? Simply allow you to take him away?"

Still, no response. Sasori looked at his hands.

Just then, someone entered the door, pale and worried.

"Deidara? Grandson?" Grandma Asuka called.

Sasori was surprised. "Uhh, Ma'am. He's still resting. But he's fine, the doctor said." Sasori explained calmly, holding Asuka's shoulders.

Hidan sneered.

"What else did the doctor say, Mr. Akasun?"

She knows me? "Deidara's skull had a little damage, but it's not that bad. Doctor also said he will wake up after a few more days."

"Thank god. Thank god." She replied, covering her mouth with her hands. Crying.

"Please sit, ma'am."

"Thank you."

After a few seconds of silence, she spoke. "Deidara used to tell me stories about how exciting school was. He kept on saying your name and telling how great you are."

Sasori blushed as he smiled warmly. "Ma'am—

"Please just call me Asuka-san."

"Asuka-san, I am very proud of my students especially Deidara. I heard that in the past years he was not even interested in one subject. But now, I think he's enjoying school."

"Yes, really. He started to rebel since his parents' divorce three years ago. I'm so happy with the progress he's making, Mr. Akasun."

"Please just call me Sasori." Sasori said.

"Yes. That would be better. I mean, it is a shorter way and I won't tire my tongue." She giggled, Sasori grinned.

"Excuse me, but I guess there's someone knocking at the door." Hidan said grimly. He met Sasori's eyes, so he winked.

Chiyo entered the room, seeing Hidan's grin first.

"Old hag!" Sasori jumped from his seat, smiling.

Asuka's eyes widened with his words. Is that a compliment?

"My cute little grandson! Are you alright?" Chiyo brushed the red hair in front of Sasori's forehead.

"Hai. The doctor said he's safe." he uttered, tilting his head.

"I thought he's safe. Then why are you looking like a worn out mourning puppy like someone has died?"

Sasori told Asuka, "Could you please excuse us?" and went outside the room pulling Chiyo behind.

"Chiyo-obasan, Deidara's grandma is there." He explained with his voice trembling.

"I know. I am sure his parents will arrive soon."

"I know!" his brows furrowed. "B-but Hidan is also there and he will destroy everything." He used his hands to emphasize every single word.

"What do you mean?"

"He also loves Deidara and I know he's planning something. What should I do?"

Chiyo took a deep breath. For seconds they were still. Suddenly, she broke the silence with a crispy giggle. "When you were a kid you would always make a lot of puppets using your very delicate hands…"

"What?"

"…whenever a puppet broke, you keep on doing it all over again without my help or your parents'." She smiled. "Then the next day I would find that puppet displayed nicely beside your bed."

Sasori stared at his grandmother intently.

Chiyo winked. "You can do everything, cutie pie! I believe in you."

Sasori blushed, making him turn away to hide it. He headed back to the room without any word. By the time they reached the door and he was holding the knob, Sasori said something he has never been saying for years:

"Thank you, Chiyo-obasan."

When they entered the room, they saw two more people beside the bed: the other was a black-haired man who had his arm on grandma Asuka's back, and the other one was a beautiful blonde lady, caressing Deidara's cheek.

A/N: So that's it, my dear friends: the latest chapter, a chapter where things start to get better—or worse. If you can guess who those people are, then you have to wait for the next chapters where the real problems will surface. Lastly, I suppose Hidan would still not give up his undying true love.

Thank you all for enjoying my story! REVIEW PLEASE!!! Thank you!
