"Deida... ra..." You muttered, staring at the blond.

"Why are you here? You're too young to die, hm." He said. You deadpanned at him.

"Says you died at 19, dumbass." You retorted, jumping in front of him. He stared at you blankly.

"But anyways, why are you here?" You changed the subject.

"Don't ask me hm. I've been here since the reanimation wore off." He replied. You pouted.

"So what's up? How've you been?" You asked cheerfully, hopping around Deidara like a bunny happy to be with your friend again. Deidara smiled a tiny bit.

"It's been boring, hm. It's just a white atmosphere, hm. I don't even have my explosive clay." He muttered the last part. A light bulb went off in your head before you sat on the ground and started to play around in your pouch. Mr. Blondie looked at you weirdly.

"What are you doing? Hm." He asked.

"Shut up for a second." You replied before moving some stuff around and grabbing the thing you wanted. You lifted it up out of your pouch and held it to Deidara, smiling like an idiot. Deidara's face lit up like an 80 watt bulb.

"You have my clay?! Hm?" He called out excitingly, gently taking it from your hand. You nodded and got up.

"Yeah. After you died, I took some clay from your room. Just in case I needed it." You said with a shrug. Deidara looked at you with the brightest smile ever.

Ma bby...

"Thank you!" He said without saying the 'hmm' like he always did. He molded the clay into a butterfly and shoved it near your chest. You tilted your head, confused.

"I want you to throw it, hm." He said softly. You lifted your hands and he dropped it into them. You walked slightly past Deidara and threw it high into the air.

"Katsu!" Deidara called. The butterfly exploded, causing a smile to break out on his face.

"You probably missed this, right?" You asked, turning your head around to look at him. He looked at you and nodded, not wanting to speak and ruining the moment. To him, the sparkles from after the explosion made you look like an angel. Which is ironic because you're a demon. You tilted your head, confused.

"What's up?" You asked. He shook his head.

"No, nothing. Hm." He said. You pouted.

"If you have something to say, say it. I don't judge." You said while shrugging.

"Your sister, Hio, hm." He suddenly started, making your eyebrows furrow.

"What about her?" You asked. He sucked in a breath.

"She said to do something if I happen to see you here with me. Hm." He said.

"What'd she say to do?" You asked. He kept glancing at you, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink, making you even more confused and curious. He suddenly grabbed your wrist and yanked you into him, wrapping his one arm around your waist and the other one around your neck, cupping the back of your head, giving you a tight hug. Once you got over your initial shock, you returned the hug slowly, still confused.

"Deidara?" You said quietly.

"She said if I did this, it would send you back. Hm." He replied quietly.

"Send me back?" You repeated questioningly.

"Back to life. Hm." He replied just as your body started to glow.

"What? But I..." You stuttered. Deidara broke the hug, cupping both your cheeks in his hand.

"Do me a favor and don't die, hm? I don't want to see my best friend for a while, hm." He said with a smile as white completely clouded your vision.

This is the longest character chapter.
