I sat depressed in my room, tears running down my face. The door was locked, the windows were too high and I felt so helpless. Naruto didn't tell me who Nasuke was, just looked at me and then told Itachi to take me to my room. Someone had cleared up the chaos, everything was in its proper place and there was no trace of the fight. When the door opened I only lifted my head briefly, it was Deidara. He had kept checking up on me for the past 6 hours. He hadn't said anything, for whatever reason. He always just stood there and looked at me, but this time he had a tray of food in his hand. He came to me, put the tray down and then looked at me. I just looked sadly in front of me, "eat something!" "No!" I said and Deidara looked at me in annoyance. "Naruto will tear my head off if you don't eat anything!" "Not my problem!"

"OK, ..." he seemed to think twice. "If you eat something I will bring you to your human friend!". My head shot up, did you have Mical? I choked down the food faster than he could say "Enjoy your meal". He was standing at the door when he remembered something "Take a blanket with you, it's cold down there!" he said. So he was in a dungeon, I wrapped a blanket around my body and followed Deidara through the corridors. We didn't meet anyone, to my amazement. "They're all asleep, it's 12 noon!" he said, "I just had to get up to bring you something to eat," he grumbled. If he expects pity ... not a piece. The little human song had not disappeared from my memory, not at all. We walked down countless corridors and stairs until we stopped in front of an iron-studded door. It was really cold down here and I wrapped the blanket even tighter around my body. The guards glanced at me from Deidara and opened the door. A cloud of stench rose towards me and into my nose. It stank of putrefaction and a few other things that I don't want to mention. I followed Deidara more slowly than before, more hesitantly. He noticed this immediately, but said nothing. He stopped in front of a cell, took a key from the wall and unlocked it. When I stepped in front of the gate my heartbeat stopped before it accelerated three times.

Mical sat chained to the wall, his head hanging, and he was bleeding. I pushed past him without a word, Mical looked up and his eyes widened in surprise. I fell around his neck, clutching myself there, determined never to let go. Deidara didn't say anything, but when he left he said "You have 10 minutes!" did he sound angry, or even disappointed? What did he think I would do? But that doesn't matter, the Mical hugged me and hugged me. "Mara!" he breathed and I felt tears of joy run down my face. But also tears of pain, because now that he leaned forward, I saw his back.my breath caught, I let go of him and looked into his face again "What happened to your back?" I asked frightened. He just looked at me and tried to smile "It's not that important! Are you at least treating me well?" Now I remembered the reason for my previous bad mood. Quietly and hesitantly, I told him what had happened after we broke up. He didn't look at me the whole time, didn't interrupt me, but remorse was reflected on his face. I ended up looking at him, he still wasn't looking at me. "Do you want to say that everything is true?" I asked softly, he nodded. I looked at him in disbelief, opened my mouth to say something when loud swearing could be heard. I turned towards the door, the steps got faster and faster and then Naruto stepped in front of the bars. His face was flushed with anger.

He unlocked the door and before I could say anything else he yanked me away from Mical. I stumbled back and ended up in Itachi's arms, who immediately took me back into custody. Naruto looked down from my frightened face at Miacal. "Bastard!" he hissed. His head hit the wall with a deafening crack and he said passed out on the floor. I screamed, tears running down my face, Naruto kicked him once as my scream echoed through the entire dungeon. "Stop it! Naruto, stop it!". Itachi didn't loosen his grip, Naruto looked at me "Please!" I added softly and pleadingly. He actually turned away from Mical and looked at Itachi. "Take her to my room," he said, and Itachi immediately pulled me with him. I didn't defend myself, let myself be dragged along and cried silently. When we were in Naruto's magnificent room he let go of me and stood in front of the door. It didn't take long for Naruto to walk in and it didn't look like he had calmed down. "Leave us alone!" he said to Itachi, he was quick to look at me and then left. Naruto stepped up to me, almost threatening, and I backed away. Only then did his eyes brighten and he looked up gently.

He swallowed and looked at me, "I'm sorry! I don't want you to be scared of me!" he said slowly and bowed his head. "Why was Mical so hurt?" I asked carefully and sank down on the bed. He only looked at me briefly, "He .." "You tortured him?" I asked stunned "I don't understand why you feel sorry for him!" he said, sounding slightly upset again. But now I let go of all caution, I straightened up "Why shouldn't I? He's like a brother to me so why shouldn't I" "He lied to you!" Naruto snapped, "So what? That's what siblings are for .. they forgive each other!" I said and more tears ran down my cheeks. "You .. you are so human!" he said and it sounded despised, now all fear fell from me. "What if I want to be that? I don't want to be a vampire, not even a half-vampire of whoever ... if it were up to me I would run right in front of my mother's weapon .." I yelled at him, but I continued not me.Because Naruto was suddenly sitting on my hip, my hands were pressed into the mattress and all air escaped my lungs. My eyes widened in shock when I saw his fangs. "Never say that again," he hissed and I was still staring at him. "Never say that again," he hissed again and I realized he was expecting an answer. I nodded barely noticeably, Naruto looked at me for a few seconds then he jumped up. "It ..!" he said and I sat up. "Mara ... I'm sorry ... I" he stuttered and waited. However, my heart rate did not regulate itself and so it continued to hammer against my ribs. Naruto gave me a short, sad look and then walked out of the room.
