Hanging by a thread

The young blonde sat there, listening to the hum of most of the machiens attached to the young girl. He also listened to the beeping of the heart monitor, telling him his, partner in crime, best friend, and the love of his life was still hanging on. 'By a thread...' He though. His tear stained cheeks had lost all color. His bright blue orbs studied the figure infront of him.

Her black hair looked like a dark halo around her head, no longer did her bangs frame her face. They had gotten cut off by a kuni knife. "I'll be fine Deidara. I'll be back soon ok?" Her voice rang in his ears. She sounded so sure she wouldn't get hurt. He was fighting back tears. 'Ozna I couldn't protect you...'

He shook as he watched her stomach rise and fall with each ragged breath she took. Her pale skin had less color then normal, with all the bandaging wrapped around her. A flood of memories was brought back with each bandage. "Please stop Ozna." He cried out seeing the blood and slashes across her wrists. The young raven haired girl looked at him. "D-Deidara?!" She hadn't expected him to find her. He took a deep breath and turned his head. He couldn't stand to see the broken body in the bed. The girl that hated everyone, but him.

He grabed the knife from her, the sight of her wrists was terrifing. Gashes up and down her arm, some much deeper then others, all still had the same depth of potency to him. "Ozna please stop this I don't want to lose you I know life is toug-" "You don't know how tough it really is for me. A beating everyday, then a battle of screaming, causing my ears to bleed again. The day's repet their selves."

The creek of the hospital door brought the young Iwa nin to his sense, looking over he say his friend; who happened to be from the same villiage as the young girl in the bed. His name was Sasori, though they didn't see eye to eye, they were still great friends. The red head walked over to the blonde, his face wiped of emotions. "Danna... When will she wake up?" The blonde said looking away from said ginger. "I don't know Deidara... She will wake up though I'm sure of it."

Deidara sighed and looked back at Ozna. Her life was hanging in the balance of some machiens, the blode prayed that she would wake up soon. Sadness flooded the blondes heart as he saw the sand nin head out for a mission. "She took a solo mission." The loud mouth of the base Hidan said, though it wasn't in his normal tone. "I know Hidan..." Deidara said that with a great deal of sadness in his voice. "Deidara I'm sure she will be fine." Though Deidara was caught off gaurd by thay comment, he noded, and walked to his room. Sasori pulled up a chair, and sat next to the Iwa nin. "Deidara please don't let this get to you it wasn't your fault." His voice had an undertone of sadness to it. "Yeah ok..." He mumbled under his breath. 'If only I had someone go qith her... If only I went with her... If only...' He let those queastions run through his head. Sasori must have noticed him becoming more upset, because he placed his hand on his shoulder. "Deidara don't beat yourself up over this ok." The blonde noded and looked at him. "You know you don't have to stay with me."

Sasori stood up and stretched. "Ok I'll tell the others your going to stay here longer. Call me when your ready to come back I'll get one of them to pick you up ok?" The younger male nodded, and looked at the young girl. The red head sighed and walked out of the room. Deidara listened to the door click shut. "Hey Ozna." The younger bomber looked up at him. "Yes Deidara sensai?" She said while putting some explosive clay into her wepons pack. "Please don't go om this mission alone take someone with you." She didn't even look back at him when she repiled. "I'll be fine Deidara I can take care of myself." Said blonde sighed and touched her shoulder. "I don't want you to get hurt Ozna..." She spun around and had her signature, cocky grin plastered to her face. "Aww you care so much. Don't worry I'll be fine I can handle anything or anyone."

'Anything or anyone...' Those words bounced around in his head. He growled at his weakness of not forcing someone to go with her. 'I should have made someone go.' Then he a small noise, almost undecetable, a shift in the bed. His head shot up and saw the young girl shift slightly in bed. Her eyes fluttered open for a split second before closing once again. He moved closes to her head and placed his warm hand against her cold forehead. "Well your tempeture is rising slightly..." He sighed and leaned back. 'Get well soon please...' He though as his eyes shut slowly inveloping him in a world of darkness.

"Deidara!!" Tobi ran into the room shared by Sasori, Ozna, and said blonde. The middle one in age looked up at the older male. "What Tobi can't you see I'm busy watching the paint chip off the walls of the room." He said with a sarcastic tone, whuch Tobi didn't catch. "It's Ozna-san she is in the hospital. She was hurt bad." The masked leaf nin said. Deidara jumped out of bed. "What?! What hospital Tobi?!"

The blondes eyes opene taking in the white walls of the room. Then the small body infront of him, he ragged movement of her chest, the small twitches in her sleep. Though to him even now she was bueatiful no matter how broken she was he loved her. He leaned over her pressing his lips to her forehead. "Ozna my little star in the night get better soon." As if on comaned her eyes flutterd open only this time staying open.

"D-Deidara..." Her voice was small, tired, and sad sounding. The blonde looked at her and teared up at the sight of the her ice blue orbs with sadness in them. "I-I'm so sorry I should have listened to you." She choked out the words. Deidara just took her hand and that silenced her. "Ozna please you must save your energy." He said calmly ad tears welled up in the youger ones eyes. "W-why do y-you care about me s-so much?" She sputtered out as the tears got their way and caused her to start crying. He just leaned down and kissed her gentley silencing her. The raveb girl shook and kissed back. The blonde pulled away. "Thats why Ozna. I love you always have always will." Ozna smiled weakly as blush rose to her face. "I love you too...." She mumbled out as her eyes closed again. The blonde smiled at knowing she felt the same thing towards him. 'This wasn't all bad I guess...'
