Haha, I love reviews, guys. Aiko! You are amazing! You have now earned yourself an e-cookie the size of a computer!

Suddenly, Deidara pulled away.

"You're injured, un." He said, furrowing his eyebrows.

He got me there. Honestly- in another situation, I really wouldn't have cared, but...

Did you know that Hidan's scythe hurts like all hell? It's true. I swear that he must sharpen that thing like crazy. I nodded, and he brought me to the couch. I sat down and pulled some bandages from my weapon pouch. Deidara got a cloth and dampened it with alcohol to clean my wound. He pressed it against my cuts, and I bandanged them up slowly. However, a few cut were a little too uncomfortable to let him help me with. Those I did alone, and he also helped me with the stray one on my back. I winced when he had to re-do the stitches that were put in.

"Amaya, just relax, un. I'm almost done, hmm?" He said slowly.

I did as he told, and sure enough, he was done in a second. I opened the scroll slowly, as if it was some creepy thing. Deidara rolled his eyes and opened it up all the way for me. The words were slightly faded, old, and withered. We could make them out, but it took patience to read the whole thing. I took out some paper and a pen, and copied down the words, so that we could read them.

One day, a girl of black and ice,

will befall the great threat to her clan,

friends, and bone-kin.

She will learn the secret to the purple door,

and the uncanny

purple of her eyes will unravel the secrets to the threat's timely demise.

I sweatdropped.

"Hey, aren't prophecies supposed to be really long and ryhme?" I asked.

"You're right, yeah. Someone obviously didn't go to prophecy-making school, un." He rolled his eyes.

It was an okay joke, but I giggled a slight more than I should have, maybe because it was him. I do alot of things because of him, dont I? It was weird, really. Deidara- he was nice. Genuinely. It was really strange for someone who was in the Akatsuki. Everything was strange. I guess the Akatsuki is just a dysfuntional family. A really deformed family, at that. Zetsu and Kisame spoke for themselves. Tobi was hyperactive- but was amazing with fighting. Hidan cursed like a sailor, and was immortal. Kakuzu had- what- FIVE hearts? Sasori's a PUPPET, for christ's sake. Deidara has the mouths on his hands and his chest. Konan- Konan's hair was naturally blue. I don't think we need more than that. Pein had different bodies, and I know this because I'd seen someone just like him- Rinnengan and all, walking about. Was I the only normal one? Oh, no, scratch that. I'm just that chick that poofs things out of nowhere. My life must seem pretty strange. I'm pretty- almost- indecisively sure that I love it. If that makes sense. It probaly doesn't, but that would fit right in.

I hadn't noticed at all that I was being hugged by Deidara. I was too spaced out. When I didn't respond, he looked at me strangely, then saw me spacing, and poked my cheek.

"Huh?" I blinked, then turned to him.

He sweatdropped. I swear. I saw it. He just gave me another hug from behind, and I leaned back into it. i closed my eyes and cleared my mind. I did what came naturally, and that was to enjoy this contact completely. His forehead rested on my shoulder.

"You know, Deidara? I really like you." I said.

Right. I forgot. This is why I thought before I said something. Of course. Do what comes naturally. Of course that would be the fricking first thing to come out of my mouth. that I like him. Wow. Good Job, Amaya. You're an official dumbass. I swear this level of stupidity will get you killed one day.

I felt him smile on my shoulder. Great. He's gonna laugh at me. Wonderful.

"I like you too, un."

See, you're a complete dumbass, what have you-

Wait.

What?

I blinked slowly.

"I thought it was one-sided..." I mumbled.

He brought his head up and kissed me on the cheek.

"Apparently, not, yeah."

I seriously pinched myself, and Deidara chuckled. I was awake. Undeniably, I was awake. I smiled widely. I turned around completely, and kissed him. I was a short kiss, actually. But it was also sweet. Throat-clearing brought us apart. Kisame sat there, his eyebrow raised, and he was grinning.

"Oh shut up, fishdicks." I rolled my eyes.

He growled a little, "Leader-sama needs to see the both of you."

Deidara and I stood up, and then went to the large double-doors. I walked in quietly, Deidara trailing quietly behind me.

"What was in the scroll?" He asked.

"Uhh, just shome shit about a girl of black and ice defeating her clan, friend, and bone-kin's enemy. And some secrets about " I said.

"It's not a girl, Amaya. It's you." He said.

"Oh, yeah. That's why I went to get it in the first place. So I'm going to figure out something about a purple door and a monster?" I asked.

"Apparently. Give me the scroll, and I'll get Kakuzu to analyze it." He said.

I handed him the scroll. He nodded at us.

"Amaya, where were you, and what happened to your appearance?" He asked.

"I was in the Fang when I awoke. I had surgery done to me to attack me to the opposite of Kanna, a black and red-orange wolf that is a boy." I said.

"Does this affect your Asturi in any way?" He asked.

"I don't know. Let me try, please." I said.

I focused hard. I felt it come on, but it was different. I could feel the air around me, and I could hear the tiniest sounds. My eyes widened.

"There's something wrong. It's different." It sounded like I was talking horribly loud.

"Are you alright, Amaya, un?" Deidara was screeching.

I fell to the ground, and clutched my ears.

"Amaya, look up at me, un." He was using a normal voice.

"Please don't scream so loudly, Deidara, the first time I was afraid my ears would bleed." I said.

"I wasn't screaming, un."

"You weren't?" I asked.

"No. Why are you whispering, hmm?"

I looked up. I was whispering?

Deidara took an intake of breath. I looked wildly from him to Pein. He looked at me curiously, and handed me a mirror. I felt the air move towards me. I looked at the mirror, and I widened my eyes even more.

My eyes were a toxic green. That of venom. I shook my head.

"The Asturi is purple. It even said so. What will I do if I can't fufill the prophecy? They're not supposed to be green." My voice grew louder and louder.

"This isn't right!" I said it so loudly, that my ears popped, and I collapsed, my ears bleeding a bit, and then I passed out to the worried face of Deidara.
