Chapter 1: Paper Flower

I lay on the grass, making it swaying plants. My skin is numb and stiff not able to adjust the air around. A shaft of sunlight fell like a cannonball. Upon me bright sky, sun and clouds cover each other. Flicker-flicker was so magnificent before a blue sky-view is incredible. Very beautiful. Or perhaps more appropriately called beautiful. Supposedly, if I can actually see it. It's not so much the better. Twenty years have passed, twenty years in the wilderness. But I've also found freedom since the first time I changed my life. When looking at the sky, as if there is a barrier between my eyes and the beauty. The barrier is a figure of a face, the face of ordinary people who are not special, but I can not throw her out. I heard footsteps approaching before her voice. The sound of movement is only a subtle friction. I'm not surprised Konan followed here. I know some day she wants to talk to me, wait until confident in her choice. She appeared less than a few seconds in front of me. Mane become bright blue as diamonds exposed faint shadow of the sun. Honey yellow eyes glinted as me. I sighed. She called me in a flat tone.
"Sasori .."
I lifted a little my face, staring at him. "Why are you following me here? You look like a spy, Konan."
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm trying to breathe fresh air, you know, lately I feel very depressed .."
"Is that girl cause you to be like this?"
"Right now," I admitted a bit sheepishly, "I want to quickly return to Amegakure and see the situation. I don't know what can last up to two weeks. "
"Gosh! You're not allowed to go home sooner. Let Nagato calm down. Please help! For me. "
"Well, I'm going to last for a few days," I said doubtfully
The wind was blowing hard from the south, making her eyes touched by dust grains scattered. She wiped the remnants of dust from her eyes, I still didn't move, didn't do a thing for her, my mind too chaotic.
"Sorry," she whispered. "I don't mean to be selfish."
"I know." I said simply.
Her mouth moved down. "According to Deidara and Itachi should I let you alone. I think they're alone. "
"Absolutely not." I don't want to upset her.
"Instead, I'm being rude -go without saying goodbye. Forgive me. "
"You're going home, right?"
"I have not ... entirely ... decided that."
"But you're not going to stay here."
"My family could not be accepted, Konan .."
"Give me the paper."
Her eyes widened in disbelief, she was still motionless in front of me. Ah, maybe I should have asked her to sentence a more refined and precise expression.
She handed over a sheet of white paper pale, I accept it and she smiled slightly. Paper. If I could describe my feelings at this time, may be a paper that was in my hand already shattered, no.. I'll not do it, I don't want to vent their anger to the person standing before me this. I folded the paper according to the form that I want, I smiled, remembering past memories, when my mother taught us how floral design on paper. I still remember, memories memorable in my life.
"This is for you, sorry if not as beautiful flowers that exist on your hair .." I handed me a paper which has become a cluster of roses to her, she smiled for the second time, I'm happy because in times like this I'm still able to make others smile ,
"This is..very beautiful..Sasori..i don't think that you're good at making crafts like this, thanks..i promised to save them, as memories if someday you and I will split up .."
"As Deidara said, we artists at least not too stupid to matters relating to the paper .."
"You're right..maybe I'll make paper dolls for you, Yahiko and Nagato .." She likens her position by position, looked into my eyes and soon transform itself into dozens of paper butterflies. Very beautiful.
"I go first, Sasori .." she said.
