Two Paths (Sequel to Why Me)

Fights

I have to; be safe and don't tell Sasuke the truth. I know it'll be hard but please he needs to think that he's a hero. Keep him save Mariah, I have faith and trust that you will keep Sasuke safe."

Then he was gone; I looked down at the going sadly and sighed. I started to walk to where I felt Sasuke's chakra. I could hear explosions from Deidara and shouting in the distance as I was nearing the battle field. I almost reached it but the way was blocked but a certain person; Madara. I sighed and prepared myself for his attacks. I felt pain on the side of my face it stung. I knew that even if I did fight back that I would get hurt even more and there was no point since he's stronger and more experienced that I am.

The last time I fought back he almost killed me so there's no point. He threw a kunai into my stomach and slashed me with it and broke my wrist. He kicked my stomach which made me fly into trees breaking them in the process. When I started to slow down I hit the last tree and slid down it. When I hit the ground my body went limp.

I felt pain go throughout my back and felt the blood seeping from my wounds slowly going down my skin and onto the ground. I heard footsteps coming towards me which I assumed were Madara's. He knelt down and picked me up like I was a dead deer and held me to his side then started to run. As we got closer the explosions got louder and louder. Madara started to drain my chakra somehow probably so I couldn't fight back. We finally reached the battle field and I could feel both of their chakras getting low. I felt Madara stop on a branch and set me down sitting up.

"Oh senpai!" 'Tobi' shouted.

"What is it now Tobi!" Deidara shouted annoyed.

"Look who I found!" He said pointing to me.

Both Sasuke and Deidara looked over and saw me.

"Oh for once you did something useful Tobi. Now I can kill that bitch for disrespecting me. The Akatsuki won't care if I do, we're all sick of her anyway." He said.

He came flying at me readying his bombs. As he shot them towards me I painfully got up and dodged them.  I got out my clay and started to make my own bombs. When they were finished I set them out in all directions so they could surround him. He shot more at me so I had to use my shield but got burnt. I was in pain and could hardly move. My birds came and surrounded Deidara and exploded but he managed to escape.

"Shit, my chakra is low." I cursed.

"Ha you're so weak Mariah, what happened?" Deidara mocked.

I had no choice but to use the curse mark. I activated it and felt my body starting to change and my wings started to grow. I flew towards him and activated my Sharingan which made him flinch. As I neared him one of his creatures got too close and exploded which sent me flying.

"Damn it." I shouted weakly.

"Now prepare to die Mariah, it's been nice training you." He said as he sent a whole thing of explosions towards me.

I closed my eyes bracing myself for the explosion. I heard the explosion but I didn't feel it, I opened my eyes and saw that Sasuke was holding me. He gently set me down on the ground as my curse mark receded.

"Damn it, no she was supposed to die!" Deidara shouted.

I was in a lot of pain so now I couldn't move. I was out of chakra, my blood is running low so I was very dizzy and Deidara just revealed that I was in Akatsuki. I looked up at where Madara was and saw that he was amused by just looking into his eye.

"Fine, if I can't kill her without you interfering. Then I'll kill both of you!"

He started to eat the clay and my eyes widened.
