Crimson Angel

Chapter 2- Awake

The black veil of unconsciousness hovered in front of Deidara. There were voices. He couldn't quite make out what they were saying. It was like they were whispering but they were loud, as though they whispering right into his ear. A glowing figure appeared before him. It was in the shape of a person but he couldn't see any features. It spoke to him in the same loud whisper.

"He belongs to you now," the figure whispered before fading into the darkness.

Deidara looked around trying to find with the figure disappeared to. It was nowhere to be found. The voices around him slowly started to fade and soon he was alone in his bleak unconscious. There was a light starting to appear in the distance and another voice came to replace the others.

"Deidara! Wake up Deidara! Please wake up," the voice urged.

Deidara wanted to go to the light but something was keeping him back. The light was beautiful and magnificent but yet the voice… It kept him there. It held him back like chains. He struggled but the voice kept calling him. He wanted to cry because the light was so beautiful but he gave up and awoke.

He opened his eyes to his beautiful blond angel he rescued the night before. There were tears and his blue eyes. Deidara could not believe that his angel was crying for him. What was the use? He was sent there to capture him after all. Why should someone so innocent cry over someone so evil?

Deidara sat up. Naruto looked at him nervously. Despite being rescued, he still feared the Akatsuki nin. Deidara didn't blame him. It was only natural that he still feared being captured and killed by the Akatsuki. Of course, they were still after him, but Deidara couldn't bring himself to capture the nin.

"What is it, un?" Deidara asked, rubbing his sore head.

"It's nothing," Naruto said roughly, wiping his eyes with his shirt sleeve. "It's just, why did you save me? I wanted to die!"

Those words pierced Deidara like a knife. Yes, he understood what it felt like to want to end your life, but he didn't see why Naruto would want to. He had friends, a sensei, and he was powerful. He had dreams of becoming the hokage and the drive to do it. Deidara had none of that.

"Pathetic, un!" Deidara spat, standing up. "Why would you want to die for? You have it all. You have everything I never had."

Naruto stood up as well and looked into the blue eye of his enemy. "You know nothing about me. Don't you dare act like you know anything about me Akatsuki!"

"I don't care. I don't know why I rescued you from death, but I did. Just... get out of here!" Deidara roared.

Naruto stared at the feminine nin before him. There was a sadness to him. Deidara could see the pity welling up in the Leaf nin's eyes. He couldn't bare to see it there and so he turned around. He could here the ninja's from the village heading their way. It was time to leave.

He made to jump, but Naruto reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder. Looking back and sneering at the Jinchurikki, Deidara jumped into the nearest tree and escaped as fast as he could without making too much noise.

He heard the other ninja's arrive to find Naruto. He couldn't here what they were saying; he was too far away by then. He hoped Naruto didn't tell them about him. He was far to weak to fight off the nins at his present state. He looked back to see if he could see Naruto, but the trees blocked his view. He kept going and didn't look back again.
