Chapter 6: A Long Night

Itachi Uchiha

Truth is, I didn't buy that whole training thing but there also wasn't a reason to fight against them; not when time was being wasted and Deidara continued bleeding out. One of the many things I hated, was having to deal with other people's problems that weren't mine, like the fact that I had to find a medic for Deidara. Since they had disappeared, it wasn't ethical to just leave Deidara abandoned there waiting to die.

I walked towards Konan's room with Deidara in arms, his head leaning against my chest and when I looked down to check if he was okay, he wasn't. He was unconscious, bathed in blood, full of cuts, wounds, and bruises. And there was also that fact that I couldn't see the rest since his cloak was in the way! I was convinced though, that with the very little I saw, was nothing compared to what he really had.

I knocked on Konan's door and she took long to open. On top of that, she greeted me in a bad mood for waking her up at these hours but of course, when she saw Deidara unconscious in my arms and bleeding out, she pushed aside her annoyance and pushed me in, hurrying me inside her room while telling me to place him on top of a wooden table. She was the one who recklessly threw everything off said table while I carefully placed Deidara on it. I hated blood! At least, other's blood on me.

"You can wash yourself off there." She pointed towards a door to which I supposed led to her bathroom.

I took long to wash off all the blood on me and when I walked out, Konan already had Deidara half naked with a great part of his body bandaged.

"You can leave." Konan told me. "Thanks for bringing him."

I didn't say anything. I grabbed the knob on the door with the intention of leaving towards my room but before I closed the door, I watched how Konan continued trying to cure those wounds. She found something, once again calling me when I almost had the door closed. I opened the door as I heard her call me by my last name. Because apparently, everybody here calls me by my last name! Well, except Kisame who thought himself too close too me nowadays.

"Could you go to Deidara's room and look for a bottle of ointment?"

"A bottle?" I asked her. "Deidara doesn't have any ointments." I told her, assuredly.

"He has to have one, I gave him mine yesterday."

"Why does he have yours?" I asked her in curiosity.

"Because yesterday I found him wounded in the hallway." She informed me. "I couldn't carry him to his room so I attended him there and left the bottle for him if he needed it. Can you go get it, please?" She asked me.

"Sure. I'll be right back."

I walked through the dark hallway really thinking how weird it was that Konan gave Deidara her own ointment. Why would Deidara need ointment? Well, now that he needed it, of course he would need it, but before? I had never seen him use that type of medicine, so it was odd.

I arrived at his door and I realized something important- I've never been to his room! I opened the door and turned on the lights to see...a disaster of a bedroom! There was furniture thrown around, unorganized clothes on the floor, open drawers, even the knob on the door was broken but what got me the most was seeing dry blood stains on the floor and the walls painted with insults. What the hell was going on here?

I looked at the bed- the only thing that seemed to be decent and clean! On top of the bed was the bottle of ointment Konan had asked me for. I grabbed it and exited the room leaving it as it was, closing the door behind me and going back to the hallway. Though now, I couldn't take his bedroom out of my head. I couldn't forget Deidara's half-open eyes as I touched the back of his head earlier to discover blood and I couldn't forget how fragile he looked when his head fell against my chest when I carried him in my arms in search of Konan.
