I know what you're thinking OK. Another fanfic Mello -_- or you're thinking YAY another fanfic from Mello. Any of those are fine for me. This is an Akatsuki x Sakura of course, one of my favorites. You're probably not angry with me if you liked Connected actually. Oh whatever, enjoy I ramble too much! ~ MelloMusic

Bold: Inner, Zetsu's black half, whatever else I use it for.

Italics: Thoughts, and whatever else I use it for.

Underlined: Dunno. I don't use it in the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! This is a FANfiction. If I did own Naruto it would be a really bad drawing... And probably end up like this.


Patience

Alone for battle

Sakura clenched her fists releasing a burst of chakra as she hit an incoming puppet. Chiyo baa-sama huffed and weakly pulled two of her remaining puppets towards her. She had let Sakura fight alone because she insisted she could dodge the attacks. So far, Sakura was doing quite well.

"Chiyo baa-sama", Sakura mumbled not taking her eyes off the emotionless red headed puppet. "Leave and let me finish this. You're almost out of chakra." Chiyo shook her head, "not if I'm still-". Sakura glared at her and spoke the three words demandingly.

"Go. Save. Gaara"

Sakura's voice shook slightly as she spoke those three words. Chiyo finally agreed after helping Sakura take out a few more puppets. Then she turned and quickly sped out of the cave in the direction Naruto, and Kakashi went after the blonde Akatsuki. She didn't want to go but she could see the pain in Sakura's eyes. She was fretting over Sunagakure's Kazekage, and; even if unspoken Naruto.

Sasori laughed covering his mouth with his hand.

"You really think you can defeat me?" He stopped laughing. "I've still got an army of puppets behind me. You've got a fist and a bit of chakra left." He pulled out a sword and smirked.

Sakura was caught of guard when she was stabbed through the stomach with sword. Her eyes widened and a trickle of blood dribbled out of her mouth. He was standing over on the other side of the cave one moment, in front of her.

"See. I win, and I didn't even have to try that hard", he sneered. "This poison will quickly kill you and I can just go on." She shuddered at his acid words and reached for the antidote with her shaking hand. Then jabbed the needle into her other arm, then, dropping the needle started to heal her stomach.

This girl, Sasori growled inside his head. She's healing the wound with the sword still in her. Before he could counter attack her clenched fist connected with his chakra core.

Sasori was shocked and fell with her to the side. He never thought of getting hit in the chakra core. Soon after they had fallen Sakura had removed the sword and rolled onto her back trying to get up but collapsed back with a gasp.

Her eyes slowly slid closed and Sasori sighed. He couldn't move for some reason. It was like he was paralyzed from the punch. Great, just what he needed a paralysis jutsu. He rolled his eyes, now he just had to wait for someone to arrive.

Zetsu arrived with the new guy Tobi hopping behind him. Sasori had closed his eyes and when he heard Zetsu and Tobi he opened them.

"Looks like Sasori was defeated", the white half of Zetsu said and then the black side spoke. "He was too weak." Sasori blinked a couple of times as Tobi jumped over and tried to take Sasori's ring off his finger.

"Hey", he groaned. "I'm still alive bakas." Tobi jumped in surprise as the red head talked. Sasori tried to move his arms and he moved successfully, so he pushed himself off the ground and stood up.

"Tobi thinks Sasori-sempai looks different", Tobi shouted with his too loud of a voice making Sasori roll his eyes. "Tobi thinks sempai looks human!" Sasori froze and reached out a hand looking at the fingers. There were no wooden joints and it seemed like skin instead.

"What the-", he blinked a couple of times. "What in the world did she do?" He looked down at the Sakura girl and slightly narrowed his eyes. He was mad on how she just changed him back into a human. He was almost a puppet and just a few more years of research he could have gotten there.

"Should we leave her", Zetsu's white side asked while the black added, "or I could finish her off." Sasori looked up at Zetsu and picked the girl up, carrying her on his shoulder. He stumbled a bit as he tried to step forward now realizing he needed to be more careful as a human is.

Of course it had been a while since he had been actually human so his balance was a bit off, yet he continued to carry her. He was going to keep the girl around and find out how she transformed him. When he found out the secret he would simply kill the girl.

After they went to collect his idiotic partner they headed back to the new base. Deidara had to find Kakuzu and get his arms fixed. So Sasori could wait for the girl to wake up. He doubted it would be any time soon but you never knew how fast another person healed.

So now Sasori had to wait. Then he would interrogate and kill the girl. But Sasori hated to wait, so he had to heal this girl on his own.

Oh how he hated this situation.


So there you have it! Mello is a complete nutjob. Why would Chiyo leave? I say why not?! Haha, anyway here was my shot at going with the series. Sasori needs to find out how she transformed him and afterwards he plans on killing her.

Me: Well at least I put my idea down just in time.

Sakura: Mhm, and left me with the puppet master.

Sasori: Is something wrong with me?

Sakura: Yes you're too full of yourself.

Sasori: Don't make me-

Me: -Knocks Sasori out- Review please! -Throws Sasori in closet once more and walks off-
