Akatsuki: I Believe In You

Chapter 37: Hear me out

×Deidara's POV×

Finally, she decided to come back.....

We made it to our room, she seemed lost in thought.... looking around, sitting on the bed, crossing her legs.....and not even looking upwards....

I softly sighed at just looking at her in such a depressive state.... I was never up for the idea of telling her about what happened to her Sensei... although she had the right to know the truth it still made her emotionally unstable.

She looked kind of like a statue. She smiled when she saw me at first but now that we're here alone....her expression says something else.

I lock the bedrooms door and walked up to her, kneeling down, and looking at her sadden expression from below. Her bang was covering half of her face.....

I slightly put my hand over her ankle. She flinched at my touch. --"She doesn't do that....in fact, she's normally the one who wants me close to her...."-- I then removed my hand and tried something else.

I got up and sat next to her, not touching her at all....

She started to tremble.

--"That's not a good sign....is she aware of her surroundings?"-- I thought as I went and gently placed my hand on her cheek, making her turn her head towards me.

--"Something's wrong....she isn't saying anything....and her eyes.... don't show emotion whatsoever."--

--"Ino, talk to me."-- I said in a demanding tone.

I repeat myself, this time, speaking louder.

Still nothing.

I then get closer and pull her into a hug. --"Why aren't you saying anything?"-- I asked her concerned.

She then started to shake at an abnormal pace, her eyes widened and she started to resist from my grip.

--"No....get away! Don't touch me! PLEASE! Leave me alone!"-- she started to yell as she pushed me away....I then noticed what triggered her.

Genjutsu.

--"Release"-- I immediately stated. She stopped trembling, her eyes softening and her body about to weakly collapse.

Luckily, I was fast enough to catch her before she hit the ground.

--"She's sweating... breathing heavily....what's going on?"--

I laid her on the bed, carefully removing her sweaty cloak. {Yesh....she was wearing her cloak}

I then sighed as I saw her entire outfit got sweaty.....and her clothes was starting to get all sticky because of this.

I then quickly prepared a bath for her, having the water not to hot, but not to cold. Warm. Just as she likes it.

When I went back to the room she was still sweating and breathing heavily, her cheeks started to turn a shed of red and it wasn't the kind of red I find healthy.

As I tried my best to not bother her while carrying her to the bathroom she then whispered softly....I could barely hear her....--"I f-feel....s-so... drained...."--

--"I know sweetheart, I'll figure out what's wrong, don't worry."-- I replied, kissing her forehead and placing her down on her two feet.

She then took a hard grip on the bathrooms sink.

--"Hey, are you sure you don't need help?"-- I asked her worryingly, I didn't want her falling and ending up hitting her head.

--"I'm ok..."-- she answered but she wasn't actually 'ok'. As she let go of the sink as her support her legs quickly started to wabble, I then pulled her close by the waist...
