but I don't want to keep you waiting any longer.

Enjoy the chapter!

"Watch out!" Deidara yelled "Behind you!"

I quickly turned around, preparing to smash another enemy in the face with a chakra laced fist.

We've been at this for hours. Deidara was out of clay and his body wasn't going to last much longer. He was a good close range fighter but he couldn't do it for hours. Not like I can at least.

"Sakura we need to get out of here, yeah." He said as I jumped next to him "We don't know how many there are."

"Seems like my attacks keep attracting more of them." I said through heavy breathing "How far are we from the village?"

"Three miles tops, yeah." He threw more kunai "We can't last much longer."

"Alright, we need to run." I said blocking an attack "You go ahead, I'll be right behind you."

He nodded as we both took off towards the village.

A mile of running and there was a trap ahead. Deidara was able to dodge them, only getting a small cut from all the weapon attacks. He took out most of them.

Me on the other hand, I have a sword through my right shoulder and a gash on my back. "What the hell?" All I could think of after that.

"Fuck." Deidara leaned next to me, he grabbed my shoulder and then the sword "Ready?"

"Just do it." I hissed in pain as he quickly pulled it free "I don't have enough chakra to heal it."

"Only two more miles, yeah." He wrapped my left arm around him as he took off forward

"I'm losing too much blood..." I mumbled as my eye sight began to get blurry.

"Stay awake Sakura!" He yelled as we passed the village wall

We got closer to the base as my body started to get heavy with sleepiness.

"Stay awake!" Deidara yelled as he bursts inside the base "Konan!"

"What the hell happened!" Hidan yelled as he and Kakuzu walked in the room. Konan and Leader soon after

"Stay awake Sakura." Konan said as Deidara laid me on the ground.

Everything went dark.

I was in pain. I knew I was starting to wake up from whatever dream land I was in. I could tell I was laying on a hospital bed. I could fell all the bandages wrapped around me. Along with the IVs in my arm. The soft beeps of the monitors was the only sound in the room.

I slowly opened my eyes as I didn't see any blinding light. The room was softly lighted. I looked around to find no one else in the room.

I could see that the hull way outside the door wasn't brightly lit either.

"Must be night." I thought as I tried to sit up "Shit." I harshly whispered as a sharp pain rushed through my shoulder. "I have barley enough chakra to stop the pain."

I stopped my attempts to sit up or even move. I could feel the stitches slightly tug whenever I moved to much.

I probably wasn't out that long then I hope. I closed my eyes again and just rested. I knew I wasn't going to fall asleep anytime soon.

I kept track of time. A few hours later I heard soft footsteps walking the hall. They came to the door as it slowly opened.

I gave a side glance as I saw Kakuzu stand in the door way.

"You're awake?" He raised an eye brow

"Why?" I questioned his shock expression

"It's only been about five hours. You should be out for a whole day." He spoke as he checked everything "Should have known your body would work over time. It automatically heals itself."

"It does that." I gave a small laugh "What happened?"

"Well you guys ran inside the base around one in the morning." He started as he checked my IVs "Then you passed out, we cleaned you up, did stitches, and then put you here."

"That's all?" I gave him a small glare as he chuckled

"You should have seen everyone." He checked my stitches "I haven't seen Deidara that worried since Sasori was killed."

"Why was he worried?" I asked

"He didn't want to get a lame partner or one worse then Sasori." Kakuzu said "You should be able to move. I'll get Konan." He left the room.

I gave a sigh. Not to long later Konan walked in with some clothes.

"Glad to see that you are alright." She handed me the clothes as I gave a nod

"How is Deidara?" I asked thinking back to what Kakuzu said

"He's worried. Fine, but worried." He gave a small laugh "Haven't seem his like this in a while."

"So I've been told." I whispered under my breath. I changed into my spare 'around the house' outfit. A white tank top with black tight shorts. I kept my knee high boots on.

"Can you stand?" She asked as I kept it easy on my back. I sent my chakra flowing through my back to keep the pain away "Let that heal naturally."

"I'll keep it numb though." I said with a small smile "I just want some food and to sleep in my own bed."

"Well we didn't expect you to wake up for a while." She gave a small smile "Once Deidara rests for a little bit longer I will send him to check on you."

"Thank you." I gave a smile as she led me through the hall

Not to long after she left me at my door. Only making sure I didn't get lost or fall.

I entered my room and silently walked over to my bed. I didn't care for anything at the moment.

The soft mattress felt amazing after laying on the hard cot for who knows how long.

I didn't even know I fell asleep when Deidara entered the room with glorious food.

"Wake up sleepy head, yeah." He shut the door

"You're just so amazing right now..." I said eyeing the food as he handed it to me

"I know I am yeah." He gave a small chuckle "How are you feeling?" He ran his finger over the bandages

"I'll be left with a scar but I am fine otherwise." I have him a reassuring smile

He then looked at all the scars I have. Though they faded over time, if you looked you can see them.

"Body of a ninja..." He gave a sigh

"It's the life I chose." I looked at him "You probably have more."

"I know I have more, yeah." He gave a laugh

"Yeah I know since I saw you with both arms off and blow up." He rolled his eyes.

Next thing I knew was that he was pinning me to the bed with that oh so amazing, devilish smirk of his.

"And I have some perfect circle scars from you, yeah." He placed his head between my neck and shoulder

I gave a soft hmmm as I closed my eyes to his touch.

"I wonder how many other scars you have on you, yeah." He growled

"Deidara..." I said as he looked at me with a raised eyebrow to my serious tone "I was asking myself the something about you."

He gave a smirk as he leaned in trapping me in for a kiss.

Did you like it? I hope so!
