The wind blew softly as I whispered to myself, " I think I am finally done ". I had never felt such happiness and relief... I finally got to see inside the grateful and huge gates of freedom. Not only to peek... I thought I reached my dreams, when I heard him speak with his low voice. " Why?" He demanded to know as some dark red blood streamed down from the corner of my mouth. I breathed heavily and tried to keep my eyes open, just for this moment. " Because... I... Love- ", my weak voice got interrupted as I coughed blood and fell on my knees on the cold ground. I was too tired to get up anymore. I think this is it...
" Wait ", he spoke again and kneeled down right next to me. I couldn't stand this pain anymore - I had done my job, I didn't have anything else to do in this world anymore. " No, it is... Fine ", I stated silently as I closed my brown eyes full of desire and agony. " But tell me, why!? " he persisted feeling hopeless and slightly anxious because of the fear he would never hear the answer. I shook my head a bit and winced in pain. A faint smile appeared on my lips, as I whispered to him, " because I love you ". His eyes widened in surprise, but then he pulled my face closer to his. " I won't let you die", he remarked and smirked slightly, as he took me in his strong arms and carried me away.
When I woke up... I felt only Joy. I was staring right into his eyes, so close to him, and the thought of him being alive felt so good. That was the only reason I wanted to be alive as well. " Finally you woke up ", he muttered calmly as his hand rested on my shoulder. " Sasori ", I phrased silently and leaned to his chest, even though it was wooden. " Haven't you realized something?" His face pulled up to a smirk. I raised my eyebrow and stared at his amused face. Wait... Cold chest. No heart beat. A gentle feeling inside... Skin as hard as... Wood? I stared at him in shock for a while after figuring out. He made me a... Living puppet? " Yes, you are one of us now", he smiled calmly again and leaned over to kiss my forehead.
