Disclaimer: I don't own naruto. I looked over Saso x Saku pairings and I didn't see any stories with them having a kid, like Dei x Saku or anything like that. This is just a one shot for a story so I may or may not continue.

"I never knew my dad at all, mom said he died." But I can see beneath her pleasant smile a hidden darkness that is untold. She tells me that I look a lot like dad but how should I know? She says I have his scarlet unruly hair and eyes. I don't even know his name which is weird.

It's sort of strange that she barely speaks of 'him' but every now and then I can hear her muffled cries late at night locked in her room. I try not to ask because I can see the hurt in those forest green eyes of hers. I know mom wants to protect me from truth about dad.

"I wonder who dad is." I've asked myself innumerous times but I get no answers. I'm now working on a puppet that belonged to dad in my room. The black lifeless eyes staring back up at me as if dead, sort of scary I'll have to admit. I adjust all the joints making sure they are loose and flexible, taking great care not to drop the large doll like form.

Puppets are ok but what I don't like about them is that they are ageless. Almost frozen in time staying their youthful self. Even though we age and die those puppets will stay young and almost everlasting until their damaged and destroyed. But time can never stand still, time will still flow no matter what…

This is just a small sample of the story for now. I might write more depending on what people say.
