AN: Please do not flame me if you don't like the pairing. Alternative way to end after Chiyo and Sakura defeat Sasori. Lol, I though what Sasori said about women was cute. Naruto's not mine.

Sakura clenched Sasori's neck firmly with her gloved hand, as if she was afraid he'd somehow move enough to damage her. Useless, he was numb from the poison dealt to him, and near death. She locked her angry green eyes with his oddly fitting feminine, brown ones and spat stubbornly in contemplation.

Sasori was amused, even if he was dying. What was she doing? He tried to avert his vision to see her better. Grandma Chiyo had already left, why wasn't this girl gone? Unless…

"You lucky bastard," she hissed, obviously making up her mind on something, and wrenched the katanas out of his small amount of flesh with her free hand. She moved other her hand away from his neck, and placed both over to his 'flesh core,' on the left side of his chest. All of Chiyo's hard work…and mine…

A dim glow illuminated Sasori's face, his eyes widened in bewilderment. This brat… why is she healing me? He was perplexed, but smirked. It was like he had said, women do such useless things. But this girl, she seemed to have purpose behind her actions, or so he gathered from their fight. She probably wants more wants more information on Orochimaru…

Sakura felt immensely guilty as the Chakra flowed smoothly through her arms and into his chest. Her and Chiyo had almost died to kill Sasori…but strangely, she felt worse letting him lose his life. Why am I so compelled to help this jerk..? I don't even think I can do anything for a puppet…

As soon as she could feel the Chakra steadily flowing through him, she stood up. She was only going to heal him enough to barely live. As she turned to leave, she glared at him long and hard, her eyes trying to pierce him again before leaving silently.

Sasori sat up faintly and lazily watched her leave. She would've made an elegant piece of art too…He combed his and through his hair, and sighed tiredly. Women do such useless things…but it's likeable...
