I'm really, really sorry for the delay. Mi pc didn't work any more and I was through a very hard period at school with all the studies. So, any way, here is the last and final part of the story, but if you want more chapters, just ask and I'll do what I can.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Oh, I fell asleep", said Sayu to herself when she woke up.

She was just starting to look for the blonde boy, when Deidara came in.

"Eat this and get ready, we've got a mission", he said and then laid a tray of food for her to eat.

"And what's the mission about?", asked the girl while starting to eat.

Sayu noticed that Deidara was a little bit weird but she didn't want to disturb him, so said nothing. She felt she didn't have the right, because he didn't knew him very well.

"As a final test, the Leader wants you to prove your loyalty. You have to... murder... your step parents.

Sayuri felt numb. Yes, she didn't like her stepparents, and every beat was like an insult, and that she suffered a lot, but killing them? She lowered her eyes, not wanting to see Deidara into his visible one. She kept on eating with small bites, but with no appetite.

"Are we going with Sasori-san?, she whispered.

"He's got another mission. It's just the both of us."

In other circumstances, Sayu would have been the happiest girl on earth. Last night, she felt so light when lookin at Deidara's handsome face, she felt tickles in her stomach and her heart jumped when he talked or when he stared at her with his penetrating blue eyes; it was like his eyes forced her to smile and to believe that there's nothing wrong in the world.

Although she felt strange with having to murder her stepparents, the only ones that had been rude to her, but also had given her shelter and roof, she got her things ready, so Deidara didn't have to wait too long.

—"We will have to walk. If we use the bird, someone could see us", said the boy.

"Hai, Deidara-san", answered Sayuri, not really paying attention.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Kiyomaru was running across the forest. His face was heavy with pride. He could feel Sayu's chackra near, very near. The only problem was that she wasn't alone. His smile was gone when both chackras disappeared.

"What the...?"

He stopped and headed back. He didn't have a good feeling about the situation.

////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Sayuri, get on my back", ordered Deidara.

"¿Nani?" Inner Sayu was making a happy dancem but Sayu didn't quite understand why Deidara asked.

"Hold on, you stubborn girl! There's someone near!"

In a rather brute way, he caught her from the waist with just one arm and managed to put her on his back. Sayu was honouring the red colour with her cheeks. In just a few seconds, they were in the Rock Village.

Deidara let her go and almost fainted. Luckily, Sayu realised that and got his arm so he wouldn't fall, making her blush again.

"Let's rest", he panted. "That stupid jutsu is tiring."

He sat on the floor and Sayu did the same, sitting not near but not far from the boy. She was still complicated with murdering her parents. She remembered the few happy moments she had with them, the village and...

"Kiyomaru", she whispered, raising her eyebrows, realizing that he would probably go after her. Deidara looked at her from the corner of his eye and noticed a little tear, almost invisible, on her cheek.

"You're okay? Do you regret?", he asked.

Sayu said no with her head.

"A friend could force me to stay here in the village", she said quietly.

"Don't worry, we'll do it quick. Besides, we have to."

"What do you mean?"

"There was someone chasing us in the forest, probably because we're part of Akatsuki. Lets move on. Do you know how you're gonna do it?"

Sayu just bobbed. Using a transformation jutsu to hide their faces, they got into the village, right to Sayu's "home".

"I'll wait here", said Deidara. He didn't want to say much, knowing how nervous Sayu was. She bobbed her head again and got into the house and saw a bottle of sake and two cups.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

At last, Kiyomaru reached the village. He was on his was to see the Tsuchikage when he felt glasses shattering right from Sayu's house.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////

Sayu heard footsteps and then went to hide inside a closet. She then heard the sound of the pouring sake and her stepparent's conversation.

"It's been a long time. I didn't think she would last that much", said Mr. Kurohana.

"What are we doing with the girl, sweetheart? You know that sooner or later we'll have too look for her", said his wife.

"You know she won't last much more. She'll come begging to accept her again."

"Please remind me why do we take care of her?"

"It was an order. That old fool. He send the girl right to her parent's killers. The same girl that is..." The doors opened and Sayu could see her stepfather's face, filled with malice "Hiding in the closet."

Sayu's blood was boiling with anger, sorrow and frustration. All that time living with her parent's murderers. Mr. Kurohana took her out of the closet and pinned her to the wall, and put a kunai on her neck.

"WHY DID YOU DO IT?", shouted Sayu.

"Why? Because they found out about our contacts with Akatsuki, and then our betrayal. We couldn't let anyone know about it", he pressed a bit the kunai and some blood slipped through Sayu's neck.

"Take your hands off her!" Kiyomaru got into the room just on time.

Then, everything was very fast. Mrs. Kurohana fell on the floor and then Kiyomaru was going to throw a kunai when Deidara stopped him.

"Don't interfere. She has to do it", he said coldly grabbing Kiyomaru's wrist.

Kiyomaru gritted his teeth, without realizing that something fell from his pocket to Deidara's open kunai pouch. Mr. Kurohana was about to slit Sayu's throat.

"It looks like your death is going to have some witnesses. Shine... Sayu.", he said coldly, almost enjoying the moment.

Then, he dropped the kunai and started panting, desperate for air. Then he fell on the floor, just as Mrs. Kurohana.

"Sayu!", Kiyomaru got free from Deidara and ran towards her. "Are you okay? What happened?", he asked desperately.

"I slipped poison... in the sake", she said, exhausted. Kiyomaru opened his eyes and Deidara smiled.

"Come, Sayu", said the second boy.

"No, don't you dare", shouted Kiyomaru, throwing kunais to Deidara, who dodged them easily and was about to fight back when...

"Enough!", Sayu got in the middle. "Kiyomaru, my place is Akatsuki, I'm really happy there", she was begging him with her eyes."

"As you wish", he breathed, clenching his fists. Then, Sayu hugged him.

"You don't know how grateful I am", she whispered in his ear.

"I will never forget you, Sayu-chan.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"What is this feeling when she is with me? Feeling that I'm full of life when she laughs, to feel my heart warm when she smiles... That fear of not seeing her again..."

Some months went by, and Sayu was now fully accepted in Akatsuki. It turned out that the Leader knew everything about the Kurohana, and sent Sayu to prove her loyalty and kill the traitors in an 'elegant' way.

Deidara was standing outside the Akatsuki hideout, thinking about Sayu. Although he wasn't sure about his feelings; he was confused. And strangely, it seemed that he had no problems when she was arounds and he kissed-goodbye that confusion everytime he saw her. He had a notebook in his hands, the very same that fell in his kunai bag that they in the Kurohana's.

In that moment, Sayu appeared. She was walking slowly, with her typical smile plastered on her face. She was coming back from a mission, wich she succesfully completed. It was just another mission for Akatsuki.

"Hey, you're back", Deidara said. "Come".

Sayu followed him while they were going deep into the forest.

"What's going on, Deidara-kun?", she asked. Now he was Deidara-kun because confidence between them was clearly growing.

And now I've realized...

"There's something very important that I have to tell you", he answered.

…about my true feelings for you...

"What is it?"

"I love you"

Sayu's heart jumped as she felt millions of butterflies inside her belly. One of the boy's arm caught her by her waist and got Sayu closer to him. Her cheeks were burning, as well as his.

"Me too", she whispered.

"Happy birthday, Sayu-chan."

And Deidara gave her the best gift Sayu could ever ask for. He hugged her tightly and kissed her, allowing his actions talking for themselves.

The end.
