Daughter of Akatsuki - Chapter 1

Sasori's normally calm and pleasant demeanor was gone, and was replaced by irritation when Sakura climbed up on his lap. Again. In the morning, Konan asked him for a favor, which was to babysit Sakura. She didn't even wait for his answer, and shoved the baby in his arms. Now, he was stuck with this annoying creature, who

kept squealing happily at every single thing. Where did Konan managed to find her again? Oh right - right on the doorstep of the base. He needed to think of something to get rid of her. His gaze was glued to the floor, while he was thinking of a possible solution.

He smirked when Deidara came in the view.

Of course.

"Oi, Deidara. You must babysit Sakura" Sasori shoved the child in his hands, and without waiting for his response, he turned around and left. Just like Konan did.

"What the- Sasori, get back here, un! I mean it!" Deidara shouted, but it was useless; Sasori already left. Well, guess what. He was stuck babysitting.


Sakura stared up at her babysitter with her sparkling eyes. Deidara's eyebrow twitched, why was she always so happy? Not that he minded, but it was getting slightly annoying.

Noticing this, little Sakura pulled at his long hair, and started giggling when she saw his pained expression. Deidara slightly glared at the child, and felt like throwing away this pink-haired monster.

"Alright, there's a boundary, un. You can't go pulling other peoples' hair like that!" He scolded her for rude behavior, and Sakura just stared up at him with a confused expression.

Ignoring his previous remark, she moved her arms up and pouted, wanting to be picked up.

"Oi, there's no way I'm going to pick you up!"

Pout.

"Stop using that face, un"

Pout.

"Fine...but only this once, alright?"

Sakura's face instantly brightened up, as she was picked up by the blonde. She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Deidara's eyes widened, when he realized that she was hugging him tightly. He was, indeed, taken back by this; nobody ever showed such affection to him. Not even when he was living in Iwagakure. Everyone was disgusted by him; by his hands. But here this child was showering him with hugs.

"You're really something different, un..." He finally smiled at the young child, and kissed her on top of the nose. In response, Sakura started giggling and kissed him on the cheek.


Hey guys^_^ I have finally re-written the first chapter of Daughter of Akatsuki (Yeaah, it's like 3:00 A.M here xD) Late night stories with Anna!

I really hope that you liked the chapter, and I'm sorry if it wasn't up to your expectations. English isn't my first language, as you noticed. (LAMEE EXCUSES! xD)

To escthewater4: Yup, I know xD Don't worry, you didn't sound bad at all. That was my reaction after I read this story again one year later. I'm gonna focus

more on developing the story, rather than using time-skips a lot.

To Haruka Lin: Thank you very much x)
