The Forgotten Ones

Chapter 4

It had been only a few days since Hidan confessed his feelings, and I hadn't seen him anywhere. I figured he was somewhere pouting. I was in my "lab," practicing my healing.

Pain had started me on harder material, believing that I was more than capable with my abilities. I was standing over a large fish, my hands placed gently over its body. I was in the process of trying to restore its life.

My concentration broke when I hear foot steps approaching. I looked up to see a man with long blonde hair in the door way. Deidara.

"Yes? Can I help you?" I asked, going back to healing the fish.

"Actually, yeah. Pain is sending me and Sasori on a mission, but I've got a raging headache from hell. I can't get it to stop." He said, rubbing his temples.

I nodded, pulling a chair from the corner, "come on. Sit." I said, Deidara taking a seat.

I stood behind him, focusing my chakra into my hands. I was about to begin treating him, when I noticed his scope on his eye.

"Do you mind if I remove this?" I asked, gently touching his scope.

"Hm? Oh, yeah it's fine." He said, allowing me to remove the scope.

I placed it on the table, placing my hands on either of side of Deidara's head. I stood there, basically massaging Deidara's head. With head aches, one could usually find the force of the pain and then work it out, however Deidara's head felt like the pain was coming from everywhere.

"How long have you had this headache?" I asked, trying work the pain out.

"A few days. I can't get it to stop. It was driving me nuts. Even just being in the light makes it hurt." He said, I reaching over and turning the light off.

"That should help. I don't think you have a headache. I think you're suffering a migraine." I told him, starting to massage his head more.

Deidara made a small noise, as if I had hit a sensitive spot. I kept working, doing my best to pin point the worse parts and work on those.

"Do you normally get these?" I asked him quietly. I knew migraine suffers hated any kind of noise or light.

Deidara nodded, "yeah. Every few weeks or so. But I can usually get them to stop, not this one though." He explained.

"Hm, maybe I can make you something to help," I told him, moving my hands around, "but, I think I got it."

I moved my hands from his head, "pulling" the pain away from him. Deidara let out a sigh of relief, standing up and turning to look at me.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." He chuckled, switching the light back on.

I smiled some, "still have a head ache." I joked, cleaning my hands before starting to practice again.

Deidara grabbed his scope, placing it back on his left eye. "Thanks, Yui. I'm coming to you from now on. You work some magic, girl."

I giggled some, "you're welcome. Have a safe mission." I told him, returning to my fish.

Deidara nodded, waving me goodbye as he walked away. I hadn't been on any missions. I didn't even have my own cloak, but I figured I didn't need them. I was the stay in nurse for everyone, and that was fine with me.

I sighed, my chakra almost used up between the fish and healing Deidara. I decided to take a break, heading out for a walk around the base. With Deidara and Sasori being out, and Hidan and Kakuzu no where to be found, the base was oddly quiet.

I could hear my foot steps echo against the walls. I made my way towards the main room, assuming I'd see someone, but, I was completely alone. Where was everyone?
