Well I got a review saying to update today, so I decided to. :] Here's another chapter of my new story! This chapter will have a small scene of SasoSaku, but nothing major.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura walked over to her dresser and pulled out ten large pink bows that were on clips and headed over to Sasori's room again. She had to somehow get him out of the room.
She walked in and Sasori looked up and glared.
"What do you want?" Sasori asked, obviously annoyed.
"I just wanted to say I was sorry about the Barbie Girl thing." She said. Sasori looked at her, and dismissed it with a hand wave.
"Whatever, it's okay." He said and continued working on the puppet he was working on. After a few moments, he looked up again and saw Sakura still standing there.
"Why are you still here?" He asked. Sakura looked at her feet.
"I was wondering if I could stay here with you?" She asked, smirking at her feet. Sasori didn't notice.
"Why?" He asked.
"It's so lonely in my room…" Sakura said, feigning sadness as she looked up at him again.
"Go hang out with Deidara or something." Sasori grunted. Sakura glared at him when he turned to his puppet again, and once again, Sasori didn't notice.
"But please? I don't wanna stay with Deidara! He always makes fun of my hair!" She whined. It was true, Deidara did make fun of her hair, but it didn't bother her. Usually she would just make fun of his, too. When he would say her hair was pink, she would say something somewhere along the lines of "Yeah, at least I have a hairstyle of my own gender" or "And your hair is girly. Now that we've stated the obvious…"
"He has reason to." Sasori snorted. Sakura glared at him. Then her glare softened as she came up with an idea. Even if he's a puppet, he is a man…
Sakura walked up behind Sasori and draped her arms around his shoulders as she leaned her head close to his ear. Sasori visibly stiffened.
"Please? I wanna stay with you." Sakura said. Sasori calmed down a bit, but was still tense. He let out a sigh.
"Fine, don't bother me. And I mean it." Sasori said, and turned back to his puppet. 'Can't make any promises.' Sakura thought to herself. She grinned as she tried to think of a way to make him leave.
After about ten minutes of sitting in silence in Sasori's room, Sakura came up with a plan.
"Sasori?" Sakura called to him from across the room.
"Yes?" He answered, not looking up from his puppet.
"Can you get me a glass of water?" She asked. Sasori turned around to face her. It appeared he was done with his puppet.
"Why can't you get it yourself?" He asked.
"My legs are really sore. I don't want to walk all the way to the kitchen. And plus, I'm still not used to it here. I might get lost." Sakura said. Sasori contemplated this for a moment before he sighed and gave in.
"Fine. Stay here and watch my stuff. Make sure Deidara doesn't blow anything up." Sasori said. And with that, he left the room.
"Muahaha." Sakura laughed evilly. "It worked!"
She walked over to Sasori's desk where his newly finished puppet was laying. She looked it over before clipping a pink bow in its hair. Then she turned to the wall where nine more puppets hung. She clipped a bow in each of their hair. 'I wonder where he keeps the others…' Just as she finished putting the last clip in the puppet's hair, Sasori walked in.
"I got your wa-" He stopped when he saw his puppets.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY PUPPETS?!?!?!?!" Sasori shouted.
In Konoha
"Shizune, did you hear that?" The Hokage asked.
"It sounded like someone yelling." Shizune said.
"Maybe we're just hearing things…"
Back with Sasori and Sakura
"I just put bows in their hair. I thought they looked pretty…" Sakura pouted. In her head, she was laughing. 'Check off number four.'
"PRETTY?! They're puppets for battle!! They're not supposed to look PRETTY!" Sasori screamed. "If you don't get out of here in ten seconds, I'll poison you and turn you into a puppet." He threatened darkly.
Sakura rushed out the door and into the hallway. From inside Sasori's room, Sakura could hear screaming. Not fearful screaming, but pissed screaming. Sakura looked at the list. "Number five, Blow up all his puppets and say it was Deidara's idea." She read. She smirked. "MalunaDragon you are a genius!"
She got out five explosive tags from her weapons pouch and walked to Sasori's door. She waited a few moments until she knew he was cooled off, and threw them into the room, aiming for the puppets. Sasori stood up, enraged.
"What the fuck?!" Sasori shouted. He noticed Sakura standing at the doorway.
"Sakura." He said darkly. "Would you please tell me why you just blew up all of my puppets after putting bows in their hair?" He asked, a bit to politely. He had a menacing look on his face.
"It was Deidara's idea." Sakura said. Sasori growled.
"Deidara…" He said, his voice low and evil. He walked to the door and down the hall to Deidara's room. Sakura stood by Sasori's doorway to watch, but she didn't want to go any closer.
There was a crash, an explosion, another crash, followed by what sounded to by clashing of metal.
"Sasori-Danna! What did I do?!" She heard Deidara cry, before another bang was heard. Sasori walked out, a more peaceful look on his face. He walked by her, giving her a nod, and walked into his room. Sakura watched him with a slightly scared expression and backed slowly out of the room and ran back to hers.
"What's next on the list?" Sakura asked, unfolding the piece of paper. "Number six, call his puppets dolls." Then she saw number seven. "Number seven, then ask him "Don't you think you are really too old to be playing with dolls." Ha!!" Sakura read. She snorted.
'I should probably wait until after lunch to do this, or he might kill me.' Sakura thought. She looked at the clock. It read 11:53. 'I'll go get some lunch, then I'll do this.'
*Timeskip*
After lunch, she read over the two numbers before heading off to Sasori's room again. He was sitting at his desk, trying to fix his mutilated puppets.
"Hey Sasori." Sakura greeted. Sasori looked up and glared at her.
"What the hell do you want now?" He asked.
"Nothing, just wondering how you were doing with your dolls." She said and shrugged. Sasori's eyes widened in rage.
"They're not dolls! They're puppets!" He shouted at her.
"Sasori, don't you think you are really too old to be playing with dolls?" Sakura asked. That did it. Sasori snapped and ripped off his Akatsuki cloak, letting the wire inside his stomach uncoil, about to lunge at Sakura. Her eyes widened and she darted out of the room and back to her room.
"Hm…what's next on the list?" She asked after she caught her breath. "Number eight, make him wait forever on anything." She read. "Okay then…"
She slowly walked over to Sasori's room, where he was fixing up one of his puppets. She hesitantly stepped in the doorway.
"Hey Sasori…?" She asked lightly. Sasori whipped his head up to see her. He stood up and started walking over to her.
"Get. Out." Sasori bit out when he was face to face with her. Sakura held her breath.
"I-I just wanted to apologize…" Sakura said. Sasori took a step back.
"You want to apologize after you fucking annoyed the shit out of me all morning? Why should I accept your apology?"
"Because I am sorry." Sakura said. 'Not really'
"Fine. Whatever. Apology accepted." Sasori said.
"Is there anything I can get for you? To show you how truly sorry I am?" Sakura asked. She emphasized the words 'truly sorry'.
"Yeah, get me some herbs from Zetsu. Here's a list." Sasori said, handing her the list. She took it and walked slowly to the greenhouse, taking her time with each step.
After about ten minutes, she finally reached the greenhouse and saw Zetsu sitting at a desk in the corner.
"Hey, Zetsu." Sakura greeted. Zetsu turned around.
"Sakura-san, you never come around here. What do you want?" Zetsu asked.
"I can't just say hi to a fellow Akatsuki member?" Sakura asked playfully. She was a bit afraid of Zetsu, but he was ordered not to eat her by Leader, so she was a bit more calm than she usually would be.
"You usually don't come by here. What do you really want?" Zetsu asked. Sakura took out the list Sasori had given her and handed it to him.
"Sasori wanted me to get these herbs for him." She said. Zetsu nodded and began walking to the far end of the greenhouse. He turned and motioned for her to follow him. She did, and he began walking again.
"So, how's life?" Sakura asked. Zetsu turned to her slightly.
"Good. You?"
"Pretty good." Sakura said. Suddenly, Zetsu stopped walking. Sakura was surprised and had to walk back a few steps to get to where he was.
"Sakura-san, I had heard Sasori yelling a lot today. He seemed pissed. Do you, by any chance, have anything to do with it?" Zetsu asked. Sakura swallowed. 'Should I tell him?' Sakura asked herself. 'I guess he won't tell anybody, so I'll tell him.'
"Yeah, it was my fault. It's a long story." Sakura said. Zetsu nodded, signaling for her to continue. "Well, I was on the internet when I found this list that someone made up called "Ways to drive Sasori insane"." She took the list out of her pocket. "I thought it was hilarious so I printed it up and decided to do it." She handed Zetsu the list. He read it and laughed lightly at a few of them. "Right now I'm on eight."
Zetsu read over number eight.
"So you're planning on taking forever in here to annoy Sasori?" Zetsu asked. Sakura nodded. "When you get to eighteen, I want a copy of the picture." He said. Sakura nodded again.
"Well, here are the herbs." Zetsu said, handing Sakura a basket with different grasses and leaves and flowers. "Would you like some tea?" He asked.
"Sure." She said. Zetsu led her to a table and poured her a cup of herbal tea. The smell of it calmed Sakura. She sipped it lightly as Zetsu and she made small conversation.
When Sakura finished her tea, she stood up, stretching slightly.
"Well, Sasori is gonna poison me if I take any longer, so I should go." She said.
"Okay. Goodbye, Sakura-san. Come back soon." Zetsu said. Sakura smiled slightly and nodded, walking out the door and heading down the hall back to Sasori's room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, I'm done with that chapter. I added Zetsu in there because I wanted Sakura to tell someone about the list, and it couldn't be anyone who was in the list, so I thought of Zetsu. Please review!!!
