Soon after everyone left our room, heading back to try and regain some sense of normalcy in this place. My heart had long since stopped racing, and it seemed as if everything was back to normal, well normal as it could be.
As for me, I was laying on my bed comfortably, getting ready to once again return to group, which wasn't going to be fun today.
I didn't notice Deidara creeping up toward me, until...
"Hiya Danna!" he jumped on top of me, his arms going around my waist.
"Hey brat." I said warmly, then let out a tiny yelp.
"Danna!" He asked concerned looking at me, "Did Yahiko?"
"No nothing to do with him, your hand just licked my back." I said, feeling the tongues slip under my shirt and lick me.
"Sorry un." he said shyly, however the licking continued, and by now, I was getting used to it.
It actually felt kind of good.
"No worries brat." I said, and he put his head on my chest, getting comfortable.
"Let's just skip today un." he said with a yawn, "Can't we just stay like this Danna?"
"I wish we could brat." I said, my fingers running through his golden hair as he looked up at me with his bright blue eye. "But won't they send someone to get us?"
"Then let them un." he said, sliding his body up closer.
He took his arms away from my back, then placed them around my neck. A warm tingly sensation went through my body as the tongues began to kiss and fondle my neck.
"Like it?" he asked in almost a purr, and I nodded, my arms wrapping around him, cuddling him. He smiled and nudged even closer, a warmth filling me and I wondered if it was filling him as well.
Suddenly a loud growl startled me, and I saw Deidara look up and glare at me.
"What?"
"You're stomach un."
"Ignore it brat."
"I can't it's so loud!" he whined, sitting up. I looked at him sadly.
"Brat."
"Danna." he leaned down once more, kissing me. I smiled and returned the kiss, pulling him closer, the mouths on Deidara's hand licking me ecstatically. When we finally both pulled away we looked at one another with such happy faces.
Then my stomach began to growl, louder than before. Deidara giggled, sitting on my pelvis. I looked up at him.
"Come on, should we go to therapy?" Deidara asked, and I nodded. He got off me and I sat up, stretching out, then glancing at my knuckles. They were turning a light purple from where I'd punched Yahiko, and the hurt every now and then, but it was only a bruise.
"What's wrong Danna?" asked Deidara and I snapped back into it.
"Nothing brat, come on."
At that I opened the door, just as an orderly was about to open it. He pulled his hand back and smiled at the two of us. I could tell he was new, even for the few days I'd been around they'd made sure to introduce me to everyone.
"Just here to see what was taking you two so long." he said cheerfully. "Shall I tell them..." he froze and looked behind me. "Is he ok?"
I turned, only to see Deidara looking absolutely petrified, backing away from the door slowly.
"Brat?" I asked, taking a step forward, he looked at me for a second, but stayed his distance, I could see he wanted to run to me. I glanced at the orderly, somehow he'd upset Deidara.
"Do you need..." he started to come into the room, and I noticed Deidara freak out even more, I pushed the orderly out of the room, only to get a baffled look from him.
"Look I'll take care of brat, thanks for your concern." and with that promptly shut the door in his face. When the door was shut brat literally tackled me, and to my surprise he began crying, a bit hysterically.
"Brat, what's wrong?" I asked extremely concerned as sobs began to form, his grip never loosening. I wasn't getting a response.
"Brat!" I was firmer now, I was annoyed and getting very impatient. "Tell me."
"That was... Kabuto." said Deidara with a whimper.
"Kabuto?" I asked, pulling Deidara's chin up so I could see the tear filled blue eyes as his grip tightened ever more.
"Danna, he.. he." the tears began again, and I forced him onto the bed, I held him as close as I could, trying to get him to relax.
"Who's Kabuto?" I asked calmly.
"He was a friend, of Orochimaru." at that rage filled my face.
"That bastard?" I asked, and he nodded, pulling me even closer.
"He was the one who made that poison, the one that did this!" at that his hand went to his face and flicked back his blonde bangs, revealing the one eye I'd never seen.
In all honesty it wasn't ugly.
It was like his other eye, only his eye was much duller, it didn't blink and was completely unfocused. My hand went up to it, gently caressing the side of his face. The tears seemed to fall out of this eye, only slower than his other one.
"And they let him in here?" I hissed.
Deidara looked bitter.
"They couldn't find anything on him." he said quietly. "They couldn't prove anything, yet I know he did it un! He was the one going to med school! He could've smuggled it in! He could've..." At that he broke down again.
I could only stoke him, hug him, try to do anything to get him to calm down just a bit. He looked at me, and then surprise was on his face.
"Danna."
"What brat?"
"Why are you crying un?" I hadn't noticed, was I crying?
"Because, this bastard's clearly hurting you." I said pulling him as close as I could."And I can't do anything about it."
Yahiko was quiet in solitary, sure it was boring, but he'd done his job. Suddenly the door opened, and he turned in worry, only to see Kabuto making his way in.
"Took you long enough." groaned Yahiko,
Kabuto walked closer and smirked.
"Had some business to take care of."
He pulled something out of his pocket, and Yahiko eyed it eagerly.
"Is that?"
"Yup, it's some of the best stuff on the market." said Kabuto, tying Yahiko's arm up with something like a rubber band, letting the vein in Yahiko's arm show. Then the syringe plunged into his arm. Yahiko was quiet, then smiled as the drug took place. Kabuto began to retrieve his supplies.
"Orochimaru gives his thanks."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I go crazy, then they look for another doctor, and you get hired."
Kabuto smirked. "So I can assume you're on our side then?"
"If there's more of this stuff." said Yahiko. "Hell yeah."
