Sunrise

Deidara… I see you.

Why do you cry? Why do you let those tears fall from your blue eyes? What's wrong? I don't understand…

You were always the smiling one, the person that laughed. You were the Akatsuki's sun, the child that brought light into the gloomy hallways.

But now?

Now you cry. You shed tears. You mourn. You…

You changed.

Why have you changed? Please tell me. I want to understand. I want to make you better. I want to see you smile; I want to see you laugh.

Why do you not answer me? You never disobeyed me before. So why now? Why do you ignore me now? Are you mad at me? You always did have a temper to match that art of yours…

Deidara… I see you.

You're staring up at me. You're staring up into the sky. Am I in the sky? Past the clouds and stars?

Is that why you're so sad?

Is that why you cry?

I see your lips move. They whisper my name. They whisper that you love me.

Oh Deidara… Don't cry.

Please, please, don't cry.

I love you, brat.

I love you, Deidara.

But you can't hear me, can you?

You can't feel me, can you?

That's why you cry. You can't be with me. But where am I? I'm not with you…

I'm always with you…

But who is he? The one with the orange mask? He hugs you. Why do you let him hug you? I'm the only one who can hold you. The only one who can love you!

I'm Danna!

I'm Danna…

But what are you?

Deidara… I see you.

I see you flinch when he hugs you. You never did that when I hugged you. Oh Deidara… You look so sad. Did he make you sad? Did he hurt you?

Did I make you sad?

Did I hurt you?

You look at him. You look at him with those shining blue eyes of yours. He looks back. He looks back into those shining blue eyes.

But why?

Why do you look at him? Why don't you look at me? Have you changed your mind? Do you not love me anymore? Do you love another?

Oh Deidara…

I love you so much.

He moves; the one with the mask. He lifts it off his mouth, so you can see his smile. You always did love to see happiness, to know that you're not the only happy one.

But he doesn't smile.

He speaks.

I can see what he's saying. I can read his lips.

But what does he mean? What does he mean when he says I won't come back? When he says that I'm gone forever?

It's not true!

It's not true…

Please… Don't believe him, Deidara…

You speak now. You say his name. You say Tobi. You say that you miss me, and that you love me. That you love your Danna. Your Sasori no Danna.

Oh Deidara…

Brat…

I miss you too…

But why do you apologize? Why?

You look up at me again. You look up at the sky, past the clouds and stars. You look at me, and you apologize.

But why?

You did nothing wrong!

You did nothing wrong…

Please don't blame yourself. You did nothing wrong… But, then you look over at him again. You look over at Tobi, with those shining blue eyes. You look at him, and you say the same thing.

You apologize.

But why?

Deidara…

What are you planning?

=XXX=

Deidara… I see you.

You're with me now…

You are my sun…

All I needed was for the sun to set…

I missed you too, brat…

…to get a sunrise…
