Saved

Chapter 23

She broke away and dived out the window. "Hey, Scar-!" He yelled, but she was already up and running.

She was out.

Soft grass padded her fall, but it didn't mean it was nice on her shoulder. It stung, but it was better than being stuck there. After all, she had worst wounds before. Right now she needed to concentrate on escape.

Hell with the poison and bullet wound.

She put up with it because Kimi was the one who suggested it, but she simply could not take it.

She needed to be with her Akatsuki. She wanted Hidan's mood swings, and Konan's gentle touch. Maybe she just wanted to cuddle with Itachi or hold hands with Kisame. Maybe she wanted it all. She was gone for so long, she was deprived of them.

"Hinata!" She tensed, preparing her body to run even faster. A black car pulled over to reveal Deidara's blond head sticking out the window. She almost burst with excitement. She immediately stopped, panting lightly from the run. She had to have run at least six blocks.

Deidara looked rather upset; his eyes were a deep blue, and his brow furrowed. Unable to hold back she hugged him through the window, all her excitement welling up into a big knot in her stomach. "Ah, shit. Wait, what the hell are you doing out here, yeah?" She hugged him tighter, her eyes almost filling with fears. She missed him so much. She could hardly contain herself. So much in fact she almost did not answer him.

"I..." She clutched him tighter. "Please.... Take me away." She pulled back to look at him.

Something changed in his eyes, he now looked bright and mischievous. A slow conniving grin pulled on his lips, making her smile brightly. God, she missed him. "Get in, un." She nodded, hopping in the back seat.

The gentle scent of sandalwood and clay filled her with warmth. Sasori's grey eyes fell on her, making her hop up with excitement. She hugged him tightly from the back seat, his scent filling her nose.

"Careful now, sit back Hinata." Sasori scolded gently. She nodded, regretfully letting him go. Noting she was sitting, Sasori had begun to drive. Good. The farther away from that boy the better. Deidara turned around in his seat, his blue eyes playful. "Be careful you idiot." Sasori growled at the boy.

"Yeah, yeah, Dana." He disregarded the redhead, turning his full attention to her. "Couldn't take it anymore with those tightasses?" Deidara chucked when she nodded. "Kimi won't be happy to see you back, so we'll take you someplace special, yeah." She nodded again. As long as she didn't go back to that place. Ever.

"What went so wrong, Hinata?" Sasori asked. He was always so perceptive. He must have noticed the grass stain on her shoulder, or maybe it was the way her face was flushed, or perhaps it was the way she was running wildly down the street.

But she had good reason to be in such a state. Just thinking of it made her flustered, frustrated, and embarrassed. A sour feeling rose in her throat, while her eyes watered. All because some boy named Sai seen her naked. Not only that, he told everybody, including Itachi's brother.

What if he told them about her scars? She could only assume after his dreadful nickname. Her heart was a mess, and her head hurt.

"One second, un." Deidara seemed to have noticed her distress because he began to climb over the front seat. Sasori swerved, making Deidara fall into her a bit roughly. He laughed brightly as he adjusted, so his weight didn't crush her.

"Idiot!" Sasori hissed, but Deidara just chucked, adjusting himself so he was sitting beside her. His arm went around her shoulder, lightly pulling her against him.

She let out a light breath.

She was home.

And she trusted them enough to tell them.

"A boy... Seen me naked." The air froze. Deidara stilled, his blue eyes blank. She looked to Sasori, his knuckled were white as they clutched the steering wheel, and his eyebrows were furrowed. Ah, maybe she should not have said anything..?

"Mother fucker." Deidara hissed between his teeth. He gripped her tighter, his eyes meeting with Sasori's. Unspoken words passed between them. "Did he try force himself on you?" She blinked, not understanding. What was forcing himself? The boy did not appear to force himself, but he did tell.

"I don't know, but he told Sasuke." The air was needles, but she continued carefully. She had a feeling she had too. If she stopped the boys would probably get rather frustrated.

"What was his name?" Sasori asked, his voice seemed way to gentle, as if coaxing her.

If she spoke, would something bad happen?

She stayed quiet.

"Hinata, what was his name?" Deidara's eyes seemed like a thunderstorm.

"Ano..." She looked away. She cuddled a bit more into him. "I don't want to talk about it anymore..?" It was the only way she could think of to end the subject. Although she felt terrible about the subject, she did not want the boys to do anything reckless.

Right now she only wanted to enjoy Deidara's warm skin.

She missed his random hugs and bright smile, she also missed Sasori's quiet gentleness. She just wanted to enjoy this time. She was lonely in that room, all alone, with company that was not the Akatsuki. She looked up to Deidara, he looked strained with his eyebrows furrowed. She reached up and lightly touched his cheek. "I missed you." His eyes lightened, a small smile pulling at his lips. Just like that the weight on her shoulders lifted, and her throat was okay.

"Later, then." he spoke. She nodded, agreeing. She simply wanted to bask in their presence.

She scooched up to the tip of the seat, getting closer to Sasori. "I missed you, too." She kissed by his ear, since it was the closest thing to her. She sat back into Deidara's arms, whom was now pouting. She giggled at his face, he looked so silly with his cheeks puffed out.

"What about me?" The blond questioned. She tapped her lips, the thoughts of Sai completely out of mind.

"Ah, yes." She kissed his neck, since he was so much taller than her. He smiled brightly at her, it was contagious enough to make her smile. It felt like it was the first time she smiled since she left. It was like life filled her once again.

She loved them so much.

This is where she belonged.

What she didn't notice was the two boys exchanging looks, and the slightly frigged air.
