SUPER-LONG FINAL CHAPTER! (I don't think I've ever written this much for ONE chapter)

Thanks to everyone who reviews. Individual review thanks to date are at the bottom.

Akastuki - If you're reading this, I used a quote from your Review! Thanks for the inspiration XD

Suddenly Sasori appeared at the window. "Deidara! I have bad news!" He yelled, with a concerned expression. Deidara got up from the bed with Sakura clinging to him.

"What is it, yeah?!" He asked, gripping Sakura closer. "It's about Itachi!!" Sasori said, frantic. "Don't tell me Sasuke…" Sakura whispered.

"He killed Itachi, Sakura." Sasori whispered, tears coming to his eyes. Sakura's eyes widened. Itachi was… he was… Sasuke had…

Itachi had been like a big brother to her. When something bad happened, or when Dei-kun was off somewhere, he would sit with her.

They usually wouldn't talk or anything… but when they did, it was a pleasant and light conversation. But the peaceful silence was nice too.

She had loved Itachi like an older brother. And now… Sasuke had… killed him. Itachi-san was gone… she would never get to talk to him or sit with him silently… ever again.

"SSSSAAAASSSUUUKKKEEE!!" Sakura screamed, gripping the sides of her head in agony. She collapsed to the floor before anyone could catch her.

"Sakura!" Both Sasori and Deidara yelled in unison. Each rushed to her side. They tried to help her up but she stayed rooted to the floor.

"SASUKE! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" Sakura screamed, tears overflowing from her eyes. She suddenly brought up her fist and let it crash to the floor. The wood splintered and blood dripped from her fingers.

"Sakura… Try to calm down…" Sasori suggested gently. "You want me to freaking CALM DOWN when one of my BEST FRIENDS had been murdered?!" Sakura screamed at him.

"Um… Sorry. This is nothing personal, Ok?" Sasori suddenly smiled weakly. Before Sakura could say, "Huh?" Sasori had knocked her out.

When she awoke, she was once again in a place she did not recognize, in a bed she had never seen before. The last thing she remembered was… She gasped in realization.

Itachi… he was dead. Sasuke had killed him. She clenched her fists and bit her lip as more tears came. She brought up her now-bandaged fist again, ready to break the first thing in sight.

"Woah, there Saku-chan, yeah." Deidara whispered, appearing out of nowhere and gently taking her wrist. "Dei-kun?" She said, more tears coming.

"Sakura. Don't do anything rash, hmm?" He said gently. "Dei-kun…" Sakura said again, burying her face in her hands.

He secured his arms round her waist and rested his forehead against hers as she cried. "Sakura-chan, un. You know how much it breaks my heart to see you cry like this, yeah?"

Sakura dried her emerald eyes and looked into Deidara's cerulean eyes. He suddenly pulled Sakura so close to him he could feel her heartbeat.

"Where are we?" she suddenly asked. He smiled wistfully. "Akatsuki Headquarters." he answered. "But the problem is… we think Sasuke might come and try to take you again, hmm."

Sakura sighed and bit her lip thoughtfully. Deidara placed a hand on the side of her face and leaned in to kiss her gently.

Suddenly, (SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!) the wall burst open and Sasuke stood amidst in the billowing clouds of dust and falling rocks.

"Sakura! Get down, yeah!" Deidara yelled, shielding Sakura by laying over her with his arms on either side of her head.

With a sickening chorus of 'THOK!'s, five kunai hit him in the back.

Since he had ditched his Akatsuki cloak earlier, the kunai sunk right into his skin. He winced and blood tricked from the corner of his mouth.

"Dei-kun!" Sakura screamed. Deidara clenched his teeth and fists. Sakura pushed him off the top of her and quickly reversed their position so she was on top.

Sakura quickly pulled out the Kunai as tears fell down her face. A pool of blood surrounded him and his skin was becoming pale. "Dei-kun! You stay with me, you hear?!" She screamed. Deidara had passed out.

Sasuke came up behind her and pulled her away from Deidara. "LET GO OF ME YOU EMO DUCK ARSE TEME!!" She screamed. "Aww, baby. Don't be like that." Sasuke purred in her ear.

Sakura shook herself away from him and turned to face him. "You hurt Dei-kun and you killed Itachi! You'll pay for that!" she screamed.

--

Blood. Sasuke's blood. On her hands. On her body.

Sasuke's chakra. She couldn't sense it anymore. Was he dead? Like it mattered.

Blood. Dei-kun's blood. Coving the floor, and her hands.

Deidara's chakra. Barley there. But there.

Her own blood. Everywhere.

Her own chakra. Flowing through her hands, trying to heal Deidara.

Hope. Barely there. But there.

--

The slightest signs of life began to return to Deidara. His heartbeat was becoming stronger by the minute. Color was returning to his face.

But Sakura knew the process wasn't over yet. She would keep this up as long as it took to have Dei-kun alive and well again. Even if it meant draining every bit of chakra she had.

This wound was life-threatening …. And hard to heal. Deidara had gotten five Kunai to the back, and one had hit a nerve in his spine.

Sakura focused on carefully healing each fissure.

Suddenly Deidara's eyes opened a little. Sakura gasped, and the chakra stopped flowing from her hands.

"Saku-chan… un?" He mumbled, his eyes on her face. Tears fell down her cheeks. "Dei-kun! You're alive!" she cried, hugging his neck.

He tried to sit up, propping himself up on an elbow.

Sakura used her pointer finger to gently push him back down to the mattress. "Oh, no you don't." She said. "Don't move. You'll ruin all my hard work." she pretended to pout.

Deidara chuckled. "But when you're the seme it's no fun, yeah." He said, as he raised an eyebrow and played with a section of her long, pink hair.

"Who says I'm going to be the seme?!" She said, blushing. She had forgotten she had laid Deidara on the bed to heal him. How convenient…

"Well… if you're not going to, hmm…" He said, smiling evilly…

EPILOUGE:

Sakura moved a few runaway strands of hair to behind her ear that had been misplaced by the breeze.

She sighed as she walked through the forest, waiting for Deidara to come home from his mission. He had left days ago… she wondered when he would be back.

As if her thoughts had summoned him, Deidara appeared right in front of his wife in a puff of smoke.

"Hey, Saku-chan, yeah." He said, smiling. Sakura smiled back. "Hey, Dei-kun, how was your mission?"

He smirked. "I took em' down, un." "As always." Sakura replied.

Deidara leaned in and kissed Sakura gently, then his hands moved to her stomach, which she was cradling.

"How's the baby, hmm?" He asked, smiling wider. "Good." she replied, smiling back.

The couple interlaced fingers and began their walk back to Akatsuki headquarters.
