We were all sitting in the cafeteria. We'd all been thrown in here after we'd gotten checked out by a couple of paramedics and Tobi was taken to the hospital.
Nobody's telling us what's happening.
Hidan was literally in Kakuzu's lap, his eyes drifting to sleep. Kakuzu running his stitched fingers through Hidan's hair gently, receiving a happy glance from Hidan every now and then.
Zet and Su were cuddling one another, glaring at anyone who dared to come near them. I guess they were a little cautious after their roommate getting shot and all.
Itachi was holding onto Kisame's arm, his grip tightening every now and then. Kisame had an armed placed around Itachi's shoulder, comforting him. Itachi just looked awful, panicked and nervous, twitching at every noise and always wanting Kisame's hand in his own.
Konan and Nagato were looking at one another, or at least I thought they were, hard to tell with Nagato's hair. I noticed her hand was wrapped tightly around his, and there was a gentle smile on her face as she whispered to him.
I was, well of course I was shocked and anxious, but other than that, I felt nothing. It just didn't hit me yet, and I knew it would at the worst possible time.
And Deidara.
Deidara was sobbing hysterically, I was holding him and trying to soothe him, glancing at the others who could only shake their heads at me.
Then an orderly thought it would be best to sedate him.
Not a good idea, not at all.
I hadn't anticipated this reaction.
The orderly came up to the two of us and showed me the needle. I nodded and pulled up a sleeve of Deidara's shirt. He came closer just as Deidara looked up.
His eyes widened, and he tried to hide behind me, pushing me in front of him.
"No needles Danna." he whispered in pure desperation. "Please Danna."
"Come on Deidara it won't hurt." promised the orderly, but he cringed and his deeper behind me, if it was possible. The orderly sighed.
"Danna please un." Deidara begged and I glanced at the orderly.
"Look just leave us alone." the orderly stared, then walked away. Deidara looked up at me with a tear stained face.
"Thank you Danna."
"No problem brat."
Then the orderly returned, this time with a pill. Deidara had shrunk behind me once more, but was calmer since he noticed no syringe.
"Here Deidara take this, it'll calm you down." said the orderly, and gently Deidara took the pill and swallowed it.
"Good." said the orderly with a gentle smile. After a few minutes, Deidara's head droops on my shoulder, even though the tears haven't stopped. I continued to wipe them with one hand, while rubbing his back with the other.
Then a police officer came in. He tried to get answers from us, but in truth we were all exhausted, I mean after the fight and the fact that one of our friends may die tonight. He seemed to understand and dismissed us all to our rooms.
Trust me, walking with a drugged Deidara is not fun, especially when he keeps tripping over his feet and acting like a drunk.
If it wasn't such a depressing night, this would've been hilarious.
As soon as we get in our room I get Deidara in bed right away, he mumbles something about changing clothes, but I merely smile and gently kiss his forehead. I smile and gently press my lips to his forehead. He smiles at the gesture, then settles into a deep sleep.
I change my clothes, spots of blood still settled on them, and I take a look at them, fingering them gently, praying in my mind that Tobi would be okay.
Soon I was in my pajamas and next to Deidara, he turned towards me and curled into me like usual, and I smiled pulling him in, allowing him to sleep in my arms.
When I woke up, I was in a land of clouds.
I kid you not, I was standing on a cloud, there were clouds all around me, big fluffy ones, I forget what they're called.
"Sasori san!" came an excited voice, and I turned to see Tobi standing on one of the clouds. His mask was gone and he was smiling, the mask wasn't the only thing gone though, he scars were gone as well, showing a child like face only Tobi could have.
"Hi Tobi." I said with a smile.
"Where are we?""Tobi brought you here Sasori san, because I wanted to talk with you."
"Me?" I asked surprised, and he nodded.
"I died Sasori san." At that my blood ran cold and I stared at him unbelievingly.
"What?"
"Listen to me Sasori san, you need to keep your promise you made to me, ok?" Tobi asked, a bit desperately.
"Please don't let senpai be hurt again, Tobi wants him to be happy that's why."
"That's why you took the bullet for us." I finished and he looked at me gratefully.
"Then you'll take care of senpai for Tobi?" I nodded, tears dripping down my face.
"I'm so sorry Tobi."
"It's not your fault Sasori san." Suddenly he was in front of me, the smile never having left his face.
"Tobi wanted to do it, don't ever blame yourself Sasori san."
Suddenly a weird feeling filled my body, and I didn't like it. Tobi frowned.
"Something's happening Sasori san!" I blinked and he began to grow blurry, I moaned and dropped to my knees.
"Sasori san!" screamed Tobi, before everything went black.
"Danna! Danna un!" I woke up to a nervous Deidara looking at me. I felt terrible, my head hurt, my stomach was uneasy, and I felt hot, really, really hot. I felt something cool on my forehead and moaned, pressing my forhead into it, and whining when it was taken away.
"Hang on Danna un! I'll go get help!" said Deidara as he burst out the door, the sedative must have worn off by now.
I groaned, twisting and turning in my blanket, yelping when I leaned on one arm. Even in the haziness I pulled it out, taking a good look at it. Near the elbow of my arm were two tiny red holes, almost like...
Snake bites.
