Akatsuki Allies
Ch1
Summary: this is what happens when the Akatsuki survive and they become awesome-er.
Sasori took a deep breath as he woke up in his master body in the missions room. The missions room is where Akatsuki members go when they have a mission; controlling a blood clone so they weren't truly on the field. This prevented unnecessary deaths and allows for better Intel; it also ensured Akatsuki was always strong on the home-front.
Konan, who was in the room maintaining the bodies, noticed him wake up; she was surprised.
"You died, Sasori-san?" she asked; Sasori was one of their greatest minds.
Sasori sighed and nodded reluctantly. "They separated us and I didn't watch my key piece," he replied. The key piece is what connects the mind to the blood clone. (the heart container)
"Hm," Konan hummed, and then glanced to her left; at Deidara's body. "Do you think Deidara-kun is in trouble?"
Sasori glanced at his partner and then silently assessed the Konoha ninja they'd seen.
"No," Sasori finally replied. "Deidara has strength like few others… though I won't be surprised if his clone is damaged. Just send Zetsu to watch over him and retrieve his body before they realize it's a fake."
Konan nodded and stood. "I will inform him and Pein-sama of your return. You should rest and then begin on your new clone."
"Any restrictions?" Sasori asked, standing; sometimes they had to change appearances.
"No," Konan replied. "You're to stay on base until further notice. *hesitation* I fear the time is coming."
Konan walked away; Sasori watched, knowing the reason behind her fear.
"Long live Pein-sama," Sasori said quietly; so only she heard.
*pause* "Long live," Konan agreed monotonously.
