This story takes place in Naruto Shippuden, during Sakura and Lady Chiyo's fight with Sasori. He has his Iron Sand out but Sakura hasn't started punching it around yet. I think Sasori is a little OOC but I need him to have some emotion. Pretty, pretty please read and review!
Sasuske: And AkyraStar doesn't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does.
Me: Huh? What are you doing here? You're not in this story, at least not yet.
Sasuske: Hn. Following orders. Just get on with the story.
Sakura gasped as the puppet that had defended her from Sasori's Iron Sand collapsed. Chiyo grunted as she released her puppet arm that was now infested with Iron Sand. Sasori chuckled at the elder's frustration. "Lady Chiyo! Use me as your puppet to beat him!" Sasori's head whipped around to face the pink-haired Leaf-nin who was becoming quite the nuisance. He scowled, then said, "This fight has gone on long enough." Sakura was helpless to stop the block of Iron Sand that flew at Lady Chiyo. She knew the elder was alive because she heard her moan, but as Sakura raced towards Chiyo, Sasori intervened. His Iron Sand surrounded the medic and swarmed in so close she couldn't move for fear of the fatal poison. She was trapped. The Akatsuki puppet master smirked as he walked towards his prisoner, his mission complete. Sakura gulped as he came towards her, raising a kunai in his hand. She was completely immobilized. Helpless. Terrified. "This fight is over. I win."
Sasori watched her flinch as he brought the kunai close to her throat. He saw her confusion when he sliced her arm instead of her throat. "Why did you do that? You could've simply killed me but you – aah!" The Iron Sand moved away as she collapsed. Sakura's vision blurred as she watched him put away the kunai, recall the Iron Sand, and dismiss his puppet. She began to lose consciousness when he knelt beside her. Sasori whispered in her ear, "I was hoping you would come to fight me, and you did. Saves me the trouble of hunting you down." "Huh?" Sasori chuckled as the pink-haired kuinoichi fainted. Granny Chiyo woke up long enough to watch her grandson carry off Sakura. "No…" she murmured before she completely drifted away.
Deidara winced. First, that sand jinchuriki crushed every bone in his left arm. Now, Hatake Kakashi severely burns and leaves a huge gash down his other arm. "Darned Chidori," he muttered. His plan to lure out the nine-tails jinchuriki had worked, a bit too well. Thanks to Kakashi, Deidara had lost Gaara's body and was now fighting for his life. He decided Sasori had had plenty of time to accomplish his mission. "Time to clear out," he thought. After sending out several explosive birds to distract the two Leaf shinobi searching for him, Deidara quickly snuck away.
~~In a cave, some distance from the site of the battle~~
Sakura moaned. She had a killer headache and the idiot kicking her side wasn't helping. She was going to pound his head in. After a nap. "Get up, Pinky. Now." Or not. Sakura opened her eyes. And squeezed them shut again. Swinging her fist forward, she slammed Deidara in the face. "Get away from me, creep!" "Ow! Little brat! You're gonna heal my nose too, Pinky!" Sakura sat up at this. "Stop calling me Pinky. And why would I heal you after what you did to Gaara?" Looking around, she saw Deidara's crushed arm, bleeding shoulder, and broken nose. She also saw Sasori's chakra strings that would prevent her escape. Before she could say or do anything else, Sasori said to her, "You're a prisoner of the Akatsuki now. You will do as we say if you wish to remain unharmed as you have so far. That includes healing the idiot Deidara." Sakura stared at the rogue-nin in horror. She didn't want to heal the enemy who had hurt Gaara. "And what do they mean, prisoner? What could they want from me? Deidara smirked at her obvious terror. "Now Pinky… Hurry up and heal me!" Sakura took a deep, trembling breath and replied, "I know it's useless to try and escape or fight you. So I'll heal you. But I'm not fixing your nose. You deserved that." Sasori was the one smirking this time, impressed by her defiance. Deidara just gaped and glared at both of them. The puppet master released some of the chakra strings to allow the pink-haired medic to move to Deidara. Raising her hands to his right arm and shoulder, Sakura summoned her chakra and concentrated on his wounds. He hands began to glow green and the wounds began to heal. Sasori's eyes widened at the amount of chakra she was able to muster. "There is surely still some poison in her system, but she can still heal Deidara? She might be useful after all… "Sakura's eyes widened as she realized the extent of the damage. Her chakra began to waiver. "I can't heal it completely. I-I don't have enough ch-chakra. You should be able to u-use your right arm th-though." Deidara used said arm to catch her as she collapsed. He stared at her limp form and said to his partner, "What now?" "We go back to base."
