Chapter 23!: Resurrection

Yuki

I sat upright way too soon, and way too fast. My vision was suddenly black, but that soon faded into a flurry or blurry colours. I blinked my eyes a few sign, and looked around the room I was sat in. I was in my living room, lying on the couch.

I padded into the kitchen, one of my hands against my forehead. My father stared at me from over his coffee mug, wide-eyed and crying.

'What's wrong...?' I murmured, and Madara dropped the coffee mug, which shattered on the floor.

'What the... How are you...' He stammered. 'You're... You're alive...' I walked over to him and hugged him.

'Daddy, I think the coffee's got to your head.'

'No, Yuki-Chan.' He breathed against my neck. 'I saw you drop down...' I froze and pulled away.

'What?'

'Go to Deidara.' He murmured. 'He's gone to the hill you and Sasuke used to play on.' I snapped my head up.

'Shizz.' I grunted, and turned to the back door. 'Forgot about him... I'll be back later, Daddy, 'kay?'

'Okay, hun.'

With that, I turned and sprinted out of the door.

Deidara

'Mom, I... I really need to...' I sighed. She was so clingy.

'Deidara-kun, are you afraid?'

'No!' I yelped. 'I need to be alone, Mom!' She sighed.

'What's wrong?'

'How would you feel if your fiancé just dropped down dead, hunh?' I yelled at her. She fell silent.

'I'm... I'm so sorry...' She whispered and turned towards the village. 'I'll visit you later... just shout.' She walked off, dejected. I felt my heart sink to me feet, but I turned to the sun again, which was setting just above the horizon. I closed my eyes, and let a loose tear roll down my cheek. I opened my eyes a little, and saw a dark figure running towards me, just coming over the horizon. I sighed, and went to turn around, when suddenly it called my name.

'Deidara!' I froze, and turned my head slightly. The figure ran ever closer, and it's shadow stretched over to me.

'Deidara-kun! Wait!' Another tear rolled down my cheek.

'I'm hearing things again... un...' I whispered to myself, and started to walk away, when something suddenly slammed into my back, and had a hold of me from around my belly.

'I'm here.'

Was all I heard, until the tears overtook and I turned and hugged the girl behind me.

'Damn it, Yuki! Don't Scare me like that, un! EVER!'

'I'M REALLY SORRY!'

We both stood hugging each other in the sunset, absorbed in the tears that were constantly falling from our faces. After a few moments, we both sat on the grass, hand in hand.

'Yuki-Chan, un...'

'Hmm?'

'Why didn't you tell me about the disease, un...?' I asked.

'Oh...' Yuki fell silent for a moment. 'I... I just...' Tears started to fall down her face. 'I...' I pulled her into my lap, and wrapped my arms around her waist.

'Never mind, un...' Then I pulled her body into mine more, and kissed the back of her neck. She seemed stronger than I remember, as she turned around to me and pushed me backwards, and then I lay onto my back. Before I could gather she was so close to me, she bent over my face, and kissed me. I slid my hands up her purple shirt, and rubbed her back like she would to me. I started to wonder why her hands were on my shoulders, but I let that slide as she pushed her body into mine and her hands then slid up my neck, up the sides of my face, then into the roots of my hair. I knew what she wanted, and I wasn't too sure about that out here, but I truly didn't care at that moment.

I pushed her body more into mine, and then she suddenly snapped her head up. Her body erected, and she sat on my hips. Something had suddenly changed. I opened my eyes, and Saw none other than Uchiha Sasuke.

'You fucking man-whore!' He growled. 'Using my sister for sex.'

'What...' I said out of horror. 'You... You jerk!' I lashed out and punched him around the face, knocking him onto the floor. He looked up at me as I stood over him, and despite the blood slowly dripping from his mouth, a smirk remained there.

'I'm gonna fucking kill you!' He roared, and I jumped backwards as he threw several kunai up at me. I growled. It had to be when I was low on chakra. I was about half way through my average amount... I had to run. That was all I could do at this point in time. Hopefully I'd find Madara on the way or something. So I did exactly that. I turned, and ran straight to the Back Hills.

Yuki

This was ridiculous. Father said Deidara was up on the hill. I was stood on the top, looking over Konoha, when Hidan thumped my shoulder from beside me.

'There you fucking are!' He yelled. 'You've got to fucking see this, girl!'

'See what?' I murmured, and he grabbed my wrist.

'Deidara's fighting against Uchiha-fucking-Sasuke!' He stated, and pulled me towards the Back Hills.

'You have got to be kidding me...' I murmured.

'No! You have to fucking see!' Hidan cussed, and tugged me through the forest between the hills and Konoha.

Deidara

I was now at half of the half of my remaining chakra. Or more simply, I had under a quarter left. It was around the time I gave in. Sasuke hardly had any damage to his body, whilst I had cuts all over my face, blood dripping down my body, one of my eyes, the one under my fringe, had been accurately cut along the eyelid, so this eyes was clamped shut, and he had also successfully torn my shirt off, along with my clay pouches. Marvellous.

'You corrupted my sister.' He growled. I sighed and looked up at him with my one good eye.

'I did not corrupt your sister, un.' I rasped. 'We truly are... a work of art, un.'

'Art?' Sasuke snorted. 'You're using her as a bloody toy, Iwa.'

'Iwa?'

'You have no surname.' He grunted.

'... That's wrong...' I murmured, and Sasuke's eyes widened a fraction.

'Well, I never knew you had a surname.'

'It's Itonami.' I murmured. 'Meaning life, un.'

'Well...' Sasuke grinned darkly, pulling a kunai out of his pouch. 'It's time I reverse that...' At that instant, the kunai crashed into my arm, just like with Sasori that time ago... so long ago...

'Nicely done... Sasuke...' I froze. Just as things got better...

'Sasori-Sempai.' Sasuke murmured, and bowed before his "Sempai".

'You... You dare to even show your face...' I growled, pulling the kunai out of my arm, blood spewing down my side. '... With all I've been through...' Sasori stood at the side, leaning against a tree, glaring at the blood dripping down my arm. I threw the kunai to the floor, and held my arm with my free hand, knowing I had been beaten.

'So...' Sasori murmured, and looked to Sasuke. 'You can finish him off.' Sasuke pulled out a katana, and swung it towards me, and I dodged. I knew I couldn't out run him, so I faced the truth, and decided to give up.

'Deidara!'

It was her voice. Tears automatically rolled down my cheeks, but I turned my head to glance behind me, I only got a short glance of the Uchiha bounding towards me, until Sasuke's katana sliced straight through my body.

Yuki

'Deidara!' I screamed, but Sasuke's Katana beat me to it. Deidara fell to his knees, then collapsed onto the floor in front of me, still clutching his wounded arm. I stood, mouth open in horror, as Sasuke stood over Deidara, a smirk planted over his face.

Before I could stop myself, the blood-stained snow swirled around me, and I burst into the form of the Juichuri once more.

Hidan

Finally! I get to fucking tell the story in my perspective! Anyway, I watched in awe as Yuki took into the form of the Juichuri again. I looked down and stared at Deidara's body. The kid was dead. My body instantly froze. What was I to do? All of a sudden, I realised I was not strong. At all. We needed Pain. And as if he read my mind, there he appeared beside me.

'Fuck..' He muttered, and I noticed Toshiko was clinging to his arm.

'Pain-Sama...' She whispered and looked up at him. 'Deidara's...'

'I know.' He murmured, and turned around to face her. 'I need to get Yuki back to her human form. I can do this with my rinnegan.' He looked at me suddenly. 'Hidan. Take care of Toshiko. If she gets so much as a scratch, I will kill you.' I took a steady gulp, and then nodded.

'Y- Yes Pain-Sama...' Pain turned back to Toshiko and kissed her. When he pulled away, he patted her head, and sped towards the Juichuri. Toshiko stared after him, fear painted into her eyes.

'He'll be fine...' I murmured, and she looked round at me.

'I know.' She whispered. 'But... he isn't...' She pointed a shaky hand, and when I followed the direction, I quickly looked away from Deidara's lifeless body.

'Let's take him... away from here...' I whispered, and crouched down beside Deidara, rolling him over. I touched his cheek, and it was still slightly warm. Tears pricked at my eyes, and I looked away for a moment.

'Hidan...' I glanced upwards, and sniffed hard.

'Kakuzu...'

'Are you... crying..?' He murmured gruffly. I looked up at him quickly. So quick, that the tears ran down my face.

'I've got dust in my eye!' I yelled, but my voice broke on the final word.

'You are such a bad liar...' Kakuzu grunted, kneeling down beside me, and touching my shoulder.

'Not... lying...' I sniffed, and hid my face in my cloak sleeve. Toshiko came to my other side, kneeling also, then hugged me, nuzzling her small face in my neck. I felt her hot, wet cheeks in the crook of my neck, and I put one arm around her shoulders. I took a quick side glance at Kakuzu, and even his eyes were filled with sorrow.

'I never thought I'd say this.' Murmured Kisame from behind us, making us jump a little. 'But I am gonna miss that brat... so... so much...' I heard his sniff, then I turned to look at his attempted smile. 'And I thought losing Itachi-kun was bad enough.' I looked up at the Juichuri, who had managed to pick up Sasori with its incisors, and throw him around forcefully. I blinked a few times.

'Wait... How could the Juichuri take over, but still have hatred towards Sasori?' I murmured.

'Oh... It's quite simple really...' Murmured a silky voice from behind us, and we all froze at this too-familiar voice. 'My sister has overcome the Juichuri's power. She possesses the Eleven-tails, yes. But she has the ability to... oppress the Juichuri's actions.' We all turned to look into the Mangekyo Sharingan eyes. The person's face framed by their black hair. 'Oh, please forgive me.' His voice murmured in a seductive way. 'I forgot to inform you of my existence, yes?' A smile broke out across the face of the man standing before us. 'Again, Gomen nesai.' Kisame hiccoughed through tears, and fell to his knees at the feet of his old work partner, Uchiha Itachi.
