Chapter 3

Hallucinations.

Why are you such a failure?

And after everything I did for you?

You fail at life.

You destroy everything and everyone you come in contact with.

You are a monster through and through.

Nothing can change you.

No one will love you.

You will fall, and no one will even ca~

Shrill high pitched screams left my lips as I shot up right on the gurney. My eyes opened wide as I stared at a wall. Why wouldn't the noise go away? Why wouldn't it stop?

It seemed as if I didn't even need to take a breath, because the loud screeching sound coming from my chapped lips, red with blood didn't stop once. I held my head in my hands grabbing a hold of my cheeks, digging my nails into the tender skin until I bled. "GO AWAY! WHY WON'T IT GO AWAY?" I cried out, pain wracking my body. Voices made more white noise in my head, like the TV was turned up to loud on a channel that wasn't working. I screamed to battle, I clawed at all the skin that I could get to until I was covered completely in blood.

Silly little whore.

I will never leave you alone.

I'm a part of you.

To get rid of me, you have to die.

I hadn't noticed the white haired woman trying to get me to calm down. She had tried to coo soft words, tried to tell me to lie back down, but it was all to no avail. I couldn't see the pain etched into her face as I grabbed her forearms, squeezing tightly, making the wound on her arm bleed more. My nails dug into her skin as I shook my head back and forth screaming for it stop. "MAKE IT GO AWAY!" I cried, I wanted to shake her, but I couldn't. Everything suddenly stopped. The voices were gone. The pain was gone. I slowly let go of Hikari's arms, my body slumping down against the gurney gently. Hikari grimaced slightly as she pulled the needle from my arm out softly.

Somewhere inside her head she thanked god that she had kept a spare needle of morphine in her sleeve…Lord only knows why, but still, she was glad that she had. She turned towards Deidara, the blonde bombers eyes slanting into a malicious glare towards me. Even in my unconscious state I could feel it. Burning holes through my skin straight into my soul.

"What the hell was that, un?" He asked through his teeth, slowly running his hands over his ears as if trying to keep them from exploding. "I mean, was it really necessary for her to scream like a fucking banshee, hmm?" Hikari sighed, tired, and pained. No it wasn't necessary, but then again, I was going sort of insane. I'm sure if voices screamed at you telling you how much everything around you hated you, I'm sure you would respond the same way…maybe?

"She's in pain, Dei-kun. I can't blame her, I mean really," Her hand slowly waved over my frail, dead looking body, in a simple gesture, "she's so sick and under nourished. It's a wonder she isn't dead." He didn't seem to be convinced that it was a legitimate reason to act the way I did. I felt his muscles tense when he glared at the newly found cuts on Hikari's arms, along with the profusely bleeding gash from earlier.

"What the fuck, hmm?" He growled lowly under his breath, moving so he was next to Hikari, his hands gently holding her arms so he could inspect the wounds. "She keeps hurting you, hmm. I don't like her, un. At all, yeah." The mouths in Deidara's hands gently licked at the smaller cuts on Hikari, seeming to savour in the taste of her blood. I could smell it…Sweet like sugar…

His eyes stared into hers, a soft expression finding his features for the first time in a long time. Deidara watched as her brows creased in frustration…pain. She pulled away from the gaze they held together, and made her way over to some sort of table laden with different antiseptics. She bit down softly on her lip as she cleaned out the small lesions before wrapping her right arm up in bandaging. When it came to her left arm, she quivered, settling for just rewrapping it…again.

"It'll still get infected, hmm. I'm not a medic and I still know that, yeah." Hikari's cheeks filled with heat and she glared at Deidara in a playful manner.

"I know that, but I have other things to work on." Her gaze fell upon my sleeping form and I could hear the blonde growl. It was clear he wasn't fond of the leader's orders for Hikari to take care of me, but he didn't voice any objections. "Let's go make something for her to eat when she wakes, kay?"

I heard a frustrated sigh and mumbled words, then, everything was gone.

Blurred eyesight had always been an enemy of mine that never knew when to just leave the weak alone. My body was aching to sit up and stretch, but I knew if I did so when everything was nothing but blended colours and smudgy shapes, I'd get a severe headache. Not fun, and considering that the voices might come back, I most definitely didn't want to make that any worse.

"Is Tsu-Tsu-chan feeling better?" An oddly chipper voice hit my ears, causing me to flinch in a non-to-pleasant manner. A groan left my lips as I blinked a few times, clearing my vision completely. At least that problem was fixed. Now all that was left was the pain in my side and chest. It felt as if my ribs were broken, or rather had been broken, and although they were healing relatively nicely, they still hurt like a bitch. My chest… I wasn't exactly sure what was going on with that but I'm sure Hikari would tell me… where was she anyway?

That's right… there was someone, else here. I glanced towards the left, where I had been certain I had heard the voice. My assumption was correct. Sitting on the gurney beside me with one elbow propped upon a raised knee, was a… man I suppose? He was wearing an orange mask with swirls in it and on the right side, there was a hole, but I couldn't see an eye from my angle. For once…I wasn't scared. I didn't feel as if I needed to look away. Maybe because I couldn't read his expression… so I couldn't see if he was giving me a look of disapproval. Maybe it was because I didn't have to make eye contact with him. He didn't have a very dominating aura either, which was also a plus. He seemed… care-free. I liked it.

"Hiiiiiii Tsu-Tsu!" He sounded as if he was squealing… his demeanor was very childish, another almost calming feature about him. Carefully and with a little bit of pain surging through my nerves, I lifted my arm to scratch the back of my head. My hair felt disgusting. It was matted, and greasy, stringy… ugh. I wanted to shower. Bad.

Instead of saying 'hi' back, I stared at the man before me, watching as he switched his position so he was sitting cross-legged, with his hands resting gently in his lap. He kinda reminded me of a school girl at a sleep over about to tell her most precious secret.

He's not who he appears to be.

Don't be fooled you stupid girl.

So very stupid.

Like your fucking mo—

I closed my eyes tight, pain crawling onto my face as I shoved the voices to the back of my mind. Go away. This seemed to catch the attention of the guy, because he immediately jumped to his feet, leaning over me—a bit too close for my liking I might add.

"What's wrong with Tsu-Tsu-can?" He fretted, literally hovering over my with his face—err mask—only inches away from my face. Out of shock, my arms buckled, and I ended up leaning on my elbows, looking up at an expressionless front. No words came out of my mouth. I had nothing to say. Nor did I really want to talk to this stranger. "Tobi wants to help, 'cos Tobi is a good boy!" This boy was odd… he spoke in third person. Confusion fell over me before a wave of pain attacked my ribs. Falling onto my back completely my hands darted down to my middle where my hands gripped tightly at the pained area. Biting back a scream, my metallic coloured eyes followed Tobi's 'gaze' to the afflicted area. "Does it hurt when Tobi does this, Tsu-Tsu-chan?" He pressed softly against the tender skin with gloved fingers, earning a hiss from my lips. I heard the distinct sound of fabric being pulled from skin, then his bare hand pressed against my stomach, this time with a cooling sensation that felt amazing. His fingertips glowed a light blue colour, but in a matter of seconds, it was gone.

Pouting, I moved back into a sitting position, which earned a chuckle from Tobi. "Feel better?" His voice sounded a bit deeper…more menacing…I didn't like that at all, and shivered. Maybe I really was crazy…yeah, that had to be it. "Tobi's glad that it's better now." Yeah. I had definitely gone 'round the bend. Ugh. Great. Kill me now.

Not a bad idea.

Die bitch.

NOW.

I had to bite back a scream and I pressed the heels of my palms into my ears, before hitting my temples with them. Why wouldn't the voices go away? Why wouldn't they fucking leave me the fuck alone?

Footsteps got closer to the infirmary, I heard a feminine voice, along with a male voice, and I placed them as Deidara and Hikari. I didn't want her to inject me with anything again, so I forced my body to calm down.

I took a deep breath in through my lips, letting it out through my nose. My eyes focused on the center of this odd man's mask, and we appeared to be having some sort of stare down. The door to the infirmary swung open, but I didn't avert my gaze. I knew I'd only avoid eye contact with them anyway…well at least the blonde. Hikari, I was certain I could sorta look at her.

The smell of food hit my nose, perking my interest automatically. So much for not looking away from Masky. Tch.

You can't eat.

You'll only get sick.

You're supposed to starve.

You don't deserve food.

A vicious snarl erupted from my lips, as I bared my teeth to no one in particular. My canines appeared much longer in length than any normal humans, earning a little yelp from Hikari, after my eyes had flashed to an electric blue. No sooner had it happened though, everything was back to normal, and I quickly stared into my lap, embarrassed. What just happened?

"Oi! Don't act like that to someone who brings you food, hmm." The bomber growled at me, and I shrunk into myself, whimpering and nodding.-my way of saying I was sorry. God I was so weak…so fucking scared of everything. Why? It made no sense… I wanted to know why I was so submissive… I hated it!

Weak.

Stupid.

Frail.

Bitch.

The voices were becoming crueler with each passing second. Soon I wouldn't even be able to stand it. They were going to drive me crazy. To the very brink of insanity that would push me over the edge and force me too something stupid.

"Tsuki-chan, are you hungry?" Hikari seemed to completely ignore the fact that I had nearly attacked her. She acted as if I hadn't torn apart her arms. She accepted me and didn't judge me. The first person who had made it obvious that she knew that everything I did wasn't on purpose. I had craved that sort of feeling of recognition. It made me feel so ecstatic, and I actually wanted to eat something for the first time in a long time. I allowed a smile to light my lips—a smile that almost touched my eyes—as I looked up into her golden amber orbs and nodded vigourously. She laughed softly. It had to have been the most beautiful sound I had heard.

I could see Deidara admiring her, staring at her lips. He wanted to kiss her. He wanted her to turn around and smile at him. I felt bad for him. He seemed as if he had trouble confessing any feelings he had for her. But then again…Hikari looked at him the same way. I saw adoration in her eyes—I heard it in her voice when she spoke to him. She liked him just as much. But to me, it seemed more like she was trying to deny her feelings. As if she didn't believe them.

"We brought you fruit because Hikari said that it was safest for you to eat, hmm." His bored tone made me want to laugh; he was forcing himself to be indifferent. He wanted to keep up his 'bad boy' image. Whatever worked for him.

"What would you like?" She brought a tray of different fruits to my bed side, and I stared up at her—eyes wide with excitement. I hadn't had fruit in a long time. I pointed to an apple, not wanting to touch it because I was afraid she would call me rude…or impatient… or something negative for grabbing it. Hikari nodded, and cut up the apple into a few small wedges.

It had just occurred to me as I sat waiting for Hikari, the masked man was gone. It was like he had just vanished into thin air. Perhaps I had just imagined him? That would only prove my insanity, which I didn't really have a problem with. I think the only proof that he had actually existed was the fact that my ribs had no pain in them whatsoever. They felt as if they were completely healed. Strange. I'd have to confirm his existence later.

There was exactly a five second span of time from when Hikari had finished cutting the apple to when I finished every last bit of it. With an astonished look on her face, Hikari stood from the bed next to me and smiled. "Well, now that I've seen you're appetite, I would imagine that you're just as thirsty." She was right. I was absolutely parched. My throat got tighter at the mention of this, making a very dry cough come from my lips. "I'll be right back, Tsuki-chan, then I'll finish feeding you." She gave me a gentle smile, and turned towards the door that Deidara leaned against, his head tilted to one side, giving him a cute appearance to him. He didn't move from his spot though. His eyes, or rather eye—seeing as one was covered by his single side bang—were focused solely on Hikari, along with something on the floor. A piece of white cloth was lying haphazardly on the ground, waiting for her to step on it and fall. And he had the nerve not to warn her! I was too late in opening my mouth though. Right as I parted y lips to speak, she had slipped on the damned item, and she fell, rather ungracefully into the smug Deidara's chest. He wrapped his arms tightly around her, as if he was trying to steady her, trying to actually catch her, but I knew where he was going with it. Very quickly, he dipped his head down, and brushed his lips very softly against hers. His kiss lasted a few seconds, before he pulled away from a very stunned, and beet red Hikari. His smug smile hadn't left his face, nor had the heat that radiated from his aura.

He enjoyed being so close to her a little too much. I watched as the poor white haired woman touched her fingers to her lips, shock etched in her eyes. She was wondering what had just happened… if it was on purpose or accident. Her cheeks flared, her body heat soared, and the room suddenly felt to warm for me to tolerate. It was quite awkward for me, to say in the least.

"D-Dei-kun." She murmured in her shocked stupor before shaking her head and pushing Deidara away from the door to rush out, flustered. So, maybe that wasn't the exact reaction he had wanted from her—granted it wasn't exactly the most romantic way to take a kiss from someone, nor was it a very romantic place—but he had gotten a reaction none the less.

I had just barely caught a glimpse of her lips moving against his, her body pressing closer to his when it had happened. She wanted it, there was no doubt. I suddenly felt like a perv…watching the two when it happened…analyzing everything that had gone on, noting every detail that had made itself present during the exchange.

Freak.

Rejected freak.

He only did that because he didn't realize you were there.

You're invisible to him.

To everyone.

You might as well no exist.

Thanks mind. Just what I needed.


Alright guys! So this chapter didn't turn out exactly how I wanted too, and to me, it seemed just a bit rushed. I wanted there to be more body to it -3- but I also wanted to get passed Tsuki being injured, so I kinda just mushed a bunch of stuff together… I'd say, although this might be the longest chapter so far, I think it's my shitiest.

Oh welllll.

Please review luvs :D Remember, it helps me write :D

Love Always~
