The wind blew over the Village Hidden in the Sand. It caused a giant sand storm as the Akatsuki tries to move forward. On this mission is Hidan, the immortal, Deidara, the artist, and Sasori, the puppet master. As they draw closer to the destination, Hidan stops and questions "So, have you been following this whole time?" The group Akatsuki abruptly stops to turn and face the mysterious, shadowy figure in the storm.

The shadowy figure stepped forword and demanded "You must stop this this instant!" As though the voice sounded to be soft and gentle, as if to be a womens voice. The figure suddenly froze with the warmth of breathe on it's neck. Sasori had vanished from the side of the akatsuki and was now a shadowy figure behind this mytserious stalker. He grabbed the stalker and was at the side of the akatsuki again. The shadowy figure disappeared as the stalker was now clear and at the side of the akatsuki.

Sasori then announced "Haruno Sakura of the Leaf shinobi." As she was speechless, he then told the others "Hidan, Deidara, move forward. I will catch up later. It seems there is a matter of buisness to take care of here."

Hidan responds with a nod and dash forward into the open desert. Deidara quickly responded with a nod of his own and dashed as if racing for Hidan. As Sasori waited for them to disappear into the storm he clinches Sakura tighter then before.

"So, who sent you?" Sasori questioned the leaf shinobi.
"I'm not telling you anything" Sakura quickly replied.
"I didn't say you had an option of telling me." Sasori said hesitantly.
"Noone" Sakura said as she gasped for more air.
"Well, someone must have sent you. People of your skill don't usually follow members of the Akatsuki. Let alone a group of us." Sasori replied with a sarcastic tone.
"The truth is, I came here for you Sasori." She said with great hesitance in her voice.

He dropped her and stared at her questionably. He turned around and mumbled, "You came here for me?" He questioned as he scratched his head.
"Yes, Sasori. I love you. I talked to Chiyo about who you were and why you left." She said as she gazed into Sasori's soft eyes.
"You love me?"
"Yes Sasori. I've always loved you. Why did you run away from the people wo cared about you?"
"Because I'm a missing nin. Noone cares about a missing nin."
"But I do" She tackled him to the ground. He was no longer in shock. He was a bit confused. She ran her fingers through Sasori soft red hair. He took off her head band. She took off his shirt slowly. He leaned up and pushed his lips softly against hers. To be continued...
