A/N: Wrote this in school, hope it makes sense. If not, sorry. I tried.

-Deidara-

It had taken a while for Skye to finally calm down. I had pulled her over to the couch across from the one Pein and Konan were on. She clung to me like she had when she was younger. Arms wrapped around my waist, head in my lap while the rest of her curled up in a ball beside me. Even now, though she'd stopped crying and shaking, she still clung to me as she rest her head in my lap as we sat on the couch.

Itachi and Sasori left about an hour ago to get some 'comfort food' from the store, but I think they just couldn't stand seeing Skye the way she had been. Konan and Pein were still on the other couch, looking at Skye with concern in their eyes, the movie they'd been watching now being completely ignored.

"Dei..."

Skye whispered and I looked back down at her.

"I'm here, yeah."

I said with a small smile and felt her grip around me lessen slightly.

"I...I remembered my mother and father."

She said quietly and I looked down at her in shock.

"W-What about them did you remember, yeah?"

I asked, fearing the answer.

"What they did...and how they died."

She said, voice quieter than before and I balled my hands up in anger. How her parents could have abandoned her simply because they had gotten hooked on drugs.

"Deidara."

Skye said and I looked back down at her, having been pulled away from my thoughts.

"I want to talk ot Kaiarie."

She said adn I froze. How was I going to tell her my sister was dead?

"Skye..."

I said and she looked up at me expectantly and I bit the inside of my lip before sighing. There was no getting around it, she had to know.

"Kaiarie...Kaiarie had an accident a few years ago and...she didn't survive."

I said and noticed how Skye stiffened in my lap before turning and burying her face in my stomach without saying a word.

"Skye, yeah?"

I asked, a little worried by her silence. The only response I got was her tightening her grip around my waist again.

-Pein-

Itachi adn Sasori came in through the door and Itachi asked how she was and I sighed as I looked over at Deidara to see Skye still curled up on the couch with him, her head in his lap and face buried in his stomach.

"She just found out about Kaiarie."

I said and heard him sigh.

"Did we ever find out what made her collapse?"

Sasori asked and I nodded.

"She remembered things about her parents because the feelings she felt when she sang earlier."

I explained and saw Itachi look over at Skye and Deidara with a look of guilt in his onyx colored eyes.

"It's not your fault Itachi, you know that right?"

I asked and he turned to look at me and nodded.

Silence followed and I frowned. Konan had fallen asleep and I'd let her stretch out on the couch as I moved to the island in the kitchen. Sasori and Itachi had set bags from McDonalds on the counter and I sighed for what felt like the thousandth time. Now wasn't the best of times to tell them, but it was the best I had.

"Itachi, Sasori."

I said, getting both of their attentions. They both looked at me expectanly, waiting for me to speak again.

"I'm quitting the band."

I said, just coming right out and saying it.

The looks of shock and disbelief on both of their faces was the only responses to my statement that I got for a while before Sasori erupted.

"You're what!?"

He shouted and I glared at him.

"Shut up you idiot, do you want to wake Konan up!?"

I snapped at him in a sharp whisper. I saw him frown, but he didn't say anything else.

"Pein."

Itachi said quietly and I looked over at him.

"Are you sure?"

He asked and I nodded.

"I love playing with you guys, but it won't support the life I want for Konan and me."

I said as I looked over at my sleeping girlfriend.

"Have you told Konan of your decision?"

Sasori asked and I frowned as I looked down at my feet.

"Haha man, I'm glad I'm not you."

He said and I glared at him again though he was right. Konan had a nasty temper and she won't take kindly to being told last.

"You'll have to tell her."

Itachi said and I sighed.

"I know. Think you can Deidara and Skye for me?"

I asked, including Skye because even though she wasn't officially a part of The Akatsuki, I still considered her to be part of it since The Akatsuki was pratically family.

He nodded before grabbing one of the bags of food and walking over to the couch Deidara and Skye were on. I saw him start talking to them and sighed as I looked back over at Konan. Telling her was not going to be easy and she wasn't going to take it well, but there was no going back on my decision.
