Chapter 2: Struggles and Companionship
I stumbled over roots that lay in my path. Struggling to stay standing. It had been close to a week that I'd been without food or water. I guessed that I was only a couple miles away from Konohagakure. In other words. I'd hardly made any progress. I'd been without sleep for a couple days so I was dead tired. Suddenly; without my realizing right away, the trees gave way to an endless abyss of sand. The deserts around Sunagakure. I picked up the pace abit and took off into the desert; unknowing if I would die here or not. Then I saw something on the far side of the desert. It looked like a ghost; the way it was moving. I could tell that it was alive though... "Hey. Wait!!" I screamed; tripped and fell on my face into the sand. When I looked up at the figure; I could now see its eye, the other one was covered up by hair as beautifully yellow as the sun. "Please wait." I pleaded but the person didn't respond and disappeared into a sand storm. Tears rolled down my cheeks and dripped into the sand. "What did I do to anyone?!" I cried as I stood, slowly getting to my feet. Without much thought otherwise I trudged through the sand heading for nowhere in particular. I just knew that I was going to die if I didn't hurry and find something to drink and eat.
My eyes slowly opened, not really realizing where I was until I saw the red haired man standing on one end of his workshop again. When I sat up, I pulled the blanket around me and slid off of the table. "Do you want to become a real shinobi?" Sasori spoke to me without looking at me. I was surprised that he had noticed I was awake without looking at me. "I do...but I don't think that it's possible..." I began but was cut off as his ash colored eyes looked at mine for the first time. "If Orochimaru put that mark on you I am guessing that he didn't do it just for the fun of it." Sasori started and walked up to me. His hand brushed the blanket of dark hair out of my eyes. I hesitated; closing my white eye immediately as it was revealed. "You aren't totally useless." I was startled by those very words.
I had been told that I was weak and useless from the day I was born..and now..by just looking at me... Sasori was able to see something? "How..." I looked at the ground and closed my eyes. "Am I supposed to matter to anyone when I can't fight?" I murmured under my breath. "I can train you to fight and in return you will give me your life; working only for me and fighting for me." I looked down and closed my eyes. "I....I will." I said with a small hesitation. If only I could matter to someone... then I would finally mean something to someone. With a slight nod of his head; Sasori grabbed some clothes on a counter and handed them to me. "Put these on. I'll talk to you about your training later." I nodded and stepped back into the storage room.
The blanket fell gently to the floor; exposing my weak frame... a body that I had tried so hard to fix. With a soft sigh I put on the pants and shoes he had given me; along with the mesh shirt and over shirt. The cloak fell around my body, and was quite baggy...all of it was. When I stepped back out into the workshop Sasori narrowed his eyes and turned to face me. "I have a subject waiting for me in Suigakure. You will accompany me there. On the way there I will begin teaching you puppetry jutsu." I nodded slightly. "Yes Sasori-danna." I said with a soft sigh. The surname brought a slight smile to his face. "You remind me of Deidara...the way you say that." He said and walked out into the hallways, looking back at Kira as she came out of the dark workshop. "First I need to go speak to Deidara about leaving for Suigakure. That's what your first job is. I will go get ready for leaving. Deidara's room is down the hall, last door." Sasori said and walked off to his room.
I headed down the hall to the door where said person was. Sasori must have informed him about her being apprenticed under him or at least being here. I stopped by the door and softly knocked on it, nervously shifting my weight side to side and fidgeting slightly. When I heard the doorknob turn I jumped alittle but regained myself and looked up at the man that stood in the doorway... Hair as yellow as the sun with one eye covered. "Who is it, hn?" He said, looking down at me. At once, Deidara recognized who it was. At the same time I remembered him. "You are the man from the desert..." I said meekly and backed up alittle bit. "You uhm... Sasori-danna's leaving for Suigakure..." Deidara raised an eyebrow. "You are Sasori-danna's apprentice, hn?" I nodded and started walking off. "Wait a second." He said, and I turned around for a moment what he didn't realize is how afraid of being touched by other people I was... and his hand touched my lower arm so that it made me jump. "S-sorry I gotta go..." I went to Sasori's room as fast as I could, my hand pressed over where Deidara's fingers had made contact with my arm. Something about that contact made me nervous. I hate that feeling...but even so.. I shook that thought out of my head right away; trying to put it behind me and continue onward.. I didn't want to make Sasori wait.
