I'm typing this at school, uner the radar. Hopefully, they don't have an actual radar... Well, warrior371 said it needed more Sasori, and I'm out of ideas, so this one will be Sasori's POV!! Cheer everyone!! YAAAAAAAYYYY!!! Chapter three!!! Woooo!!! I hate National History Day!!! I'm about to leave it. Eight minutes to be exact...

ONE DAY LATER... Imma back!

This chapter is for you, warrior371! Sorry it took so long!

It was a really nice Saturday, birds singing, the sun was out, blue skies, and... Ugh, that's SO cliche...

Well, I decided to got out on a walk. It seemed like a good idea. plus, my friends live so close to me that I might meet up with one.

I walked outside, got to my sidewalk, and then it poured rain. When I say poured, I mean, the clouds had waaay too much to drink. That sure freaked me out.

Just as I turned to go inside, I heard my name.

"HOI!!! SASORI!! SASORI-CHAAAAANNNNN!!!"

I turned to see Hidan, he was drenched and running towards me at full speed.

Wrong friend.

Hidan had always scared me. He was so open and vain. He wasn't afraid of anything, except spiders. He was full of random quotes, followed a freaky religion, and the part that scares me the most, he had a very violent, bloody mind. He came from a REALLY rich family and was used to things going his way. So if you want to loosing a limb, then just agree with him.

He caught up with me, smiling as normal, he was listening to his iPod Touch, full blast, if you listened carefully, you could tell what he was listening to. I heard the upbeat, electronic rythm, and the cheesy lines, "Here (In Your arms)" by HelloGoodbye.

"Sasori, Mind if I come in? In case you didn't notice, the sky's pelting us with it's frozen urine."

"Hidan, we already went over this, my grandmother doesn't approve of you."

My parents died in a car accident when I was five, and ever since, I was raised by my grandmother. She was very nurturing and kind, but she's strict at times... She thinks the Hidan was a bad influence. Since when would he influence me?

There was a long silence. The only noise was the sound of rain hitting the ground and Hidan's music.

"Our lips... could touch... and our cheeks... can brush.... 'cause our lips... could touch... here."

It sounded mushy, but it has a really upbeat, club music feel. I told Hidan that, and he said it sounded nothing like club music. As if he knew, he was only fourteen! After that, he thought I was an over-sheltered, innocent, and naive child. I hate it when people do that. My grandmother actually cares about me. Hidan's parents are never around. He says my grandmother is over-controlling. He just says that because he has all the freedom in the world. He's nothing but a spoiled brat with a violent mind.

The music continued. "I like... where we are.... when we drive... in your car."

Frankly, I found it funny that the guy had to use his girlfriend's car.

Finally, Hidan spoke up, "Well, My house is pretty far off, If I walk home, I'll probably catch something. Then, I can sue your grandma for neglegence."

"You don't even have a lawyer!"

"Wanna bet?"

I most certainly did not want a bet, but, being a teenage boy, I had to be stupid, "Yeah, why not?"

"Alright then."

Hidan flipped out his iPhone and dialed a number, I heard it ring three times, then,

"Hello?"

Hidan smirked at me, "Yeah, hi. Listen, there's a kid here that doubts your abilities."

"Really?"

"Yep, he doesn't think I have a lawyer. Now then, tell me, is it possible for me to sue his grandmother for refusing to let me in during freezing rain?"

"If you get sick, then yes. You can make her pay the doctor bill."

"That's what I thought."

He hung up. I hated Hidan so much sometimes.

"Now, how 'bout lunch?"

"You... you... Teme."

"Thank you."

I took Hidan inside, and the first thing I heard was Granny Chiyo.

"Sasori? Is that you? Who else is there? A friend? I hear two pairs of feet."

Ugh, I hated it when she asked so many questions at once.

"Hi. Yes, it's Sasori. Hidan. Sort of. Yeah, we both have two feet."

"Hidan's here? Is that that little spoiled delinquent?"

"Yeah. That's him"

"I thought I already told you, he's bound to be put into Juvenile for mass murder. No point in friending him."

Hidan grinned at this, "Spot on Mrs. Chiyo! Except the getting caught part..."

"Well, I'll call all your other little friends, to make sure he's occupied... and doesn't make his way to our valuables."

I had to add something to her statement, "Or the lighter, kitchen knives, and chainsaw."

Hidan's eyes lit up, "Dude! You have a chainsaw?!"

"Yes."

"Awesome.... Can I see?!"

"No."

"Alright..."


Much later, The rest of the Akatsuki came. All around the same time as well. As they did, I did my best to compliment them, just to get on their good side.

"Hi, Pein! Got another peircing? Looks great!.... Deidara! Your hair didn't screw up in the rain this time!.... Kakuzu! New tie?....."

I stopped because Kakuzu gave me his death glare. He then pushed me to a wall.

"Listen, kid." He started, his voice was especially bitter today. I mean, yeah, he was normally full of hatred for the world and all the selfish, miserable little maggots that were on it. (according to him.) but today, he sounded like he wanted to kill.

This always worries me, because all the Akatsuki know that he could very well perform this task without even batting an eye.

He continued, "Nobody wants to hear your stupid kiss-up compliments. We all know that you just want us to play favorites."

He had lifted my up by my shirt, and was pressing me against the wall with incredible strength. Konan had noticed this and walke4d over.

Great. what was she going to do to him? She must be pretty powerful for Pein to invite her to the Akatsuki.

But, out of all the things I thought she would do, she simply came up quietly behind him, and laid her hand gently on his shoulder. You would think Kakuzu, of all people, would just push her away, or do something more violent, but, instead, he tensed up, and slowly turned around. Konan looked at him the way a mother would look at her son after he accidentally broke something. She had the most forgiving face I had seen since I was five, and that was my mother's.

"Kakuzu," She said lovingly, "Put Sasori down, there's no need to force your feelings upon someone who did nothing to deserve that punishment."

I was sensing a bit of burn in that statement, like she was saying that Kakuzu had problems that nobody would ever understand.

Dude, that's cold.

Kakuzu sighed and put me down. I realized how much easier to breathe it was after he took all of his bodyweight off of me.

Konan smiled, "There now. Kakuzu, why don't you come with me so we can talk."

Much to my disbelief, Kakuzu nodded and walked with her.

So there I stood, alone and amazed at the power of a woman's compassion.


AN: I'm switching it to a regular point of view now.


Konan led Kakuzu to Sasori's finished basement to talk.

"Kakuzu, what was that just now?"

"I-" He swallowed, "Now's not the best time of year for me..."

"What do you mean?"

"Well..." He swallowed hard again, "Never mind. don't want to talk about it to you."

"Too bad. Sit." She demanded

He sighed and sat down, still thinking about leaving.

"You can't force me to talk to you." He said, putting up his defense.

"No, but," she sat down next to him, "I can talk to you."

Kakuzu blushed, due to how close Konan was to him. She reached over and put her hand on his. He pulled away, not used to being so close to someone.

"Kakuzu, you give off such a dark, hopeless feeling, you seem lonely."

He stoop up. "I'm not hopeless, and I don't need your sym-"

He froze, Konan had embraced him in a hug. He started to struggle at first, then stopped. Konan's hug made him feel somewhat better.

"Kakuzu, I don't know what's bugging you, but, I'll try my best to comfort you."

He stood there, silently, then, the hug worked it's magic, he fell to his knees, and broke into tears.

Konan just held him there, letting him sob silently on her shoulder, still wondering why he had the emotion stability of a pregnant woman. Harsh one moment, crying the next.


Back at the party, Sasori's POV


I was starting to get worried, I desperately wanted to go downstairs and see what they were doing, but, what if I walked in at a REALLY bad time? Besides that, if Kakuzu and Konan were together, then what would Pein think?


*FLASHBACK*



"Alright everyone! Settle down! We're starting our meeting," Pein spoke up.

Everyone sat down and gave him their attention.

Pein cleared his throat, "As you all know, we have a new member. The first girl we've had. Any comments?"

"She's pretty, yeah."

"Why would we invite a freakin' girl to the Akatsuki?! There ya go Kakuzu, I didn't cuss this time..."

"Tobi's thinks she's a good girl."

"Shut up, you moron!"

"Zetsu! That wasn't nice!"

"Oh, please, Setsu! We're all thinking it!"

"Hmph."

This continued on with the members, until Kakuzu, who had a migrane, spoke up.

"Would everyone, PLEASE STFU!!"

The room went silent.

"Thank you. Now, as you know, Orochimaru left us. But, we need ten members to fulfill our plans. Now, we had a choice, choose one of those moronic kids who had their parents pay to get them in because they have the maturity of a spoiled brat and got kicked out of every school they've ever been in, then get lucky, and put into the Akatsuki, and somehow, are stuck with the kid who did nothing to deserve such a retarded partner an-"

"KAKUZU! Stick to the point!"

"Wut? Oh..... yeah.... Sorry, I got carried away..."

At that statement, he shot a death glare toward Hidan.

"Well..." He continued, "Or we could've chosen the new girl, who had promise, saying she had no money to get in whatsoever, but the school wanted her so badly, they had to let her in for free."

This was a true statement for most of the Akatsuki.

Sasori was let in free, because his mastery of puppets was brilliant. He was what you call, a child prodigy.

Kisame was let in because of his amazingly high chakra level.

Pein was let in because of his rare kekkai-genkai, the Rinnegan.

Kakuzu was let in because of his high level in taijustu, mastery of all the elements, and his medical jutsu abilities.

None of them could afford to pay to get in, but the school was very competitive, it wanted the best students to show off.

Pein spoke up, "Now, we've settled that, are any of you attracted to her yet?"

"Meh, she's not a worthy sacrifice... she might make a good convert though......"

"She looks.... tasty..."

"ZETSU! We cannot eat her! You remember what happened last time we did that? It wasn't a happy home at all!"

"They lied to us. Hugging yourself all day is not fun."

Pein was getting disturbed by the conversations they were having, "ALRIGHT! Well, it's too bad if you are, 'cuz I CLAIM HER!"

Kakuzu looked amused, "What if she doesn't like your attitude towards her. What if she doesn't think all piercings are sexy? Remember rule number 346. Hidan?"

Hidan looked aggrivated, saying that this rule was made especially for him.

"Yeah, yeah.... Akatsuki Rules to Live By, number 346, 'Not all piercings are sexy.' Happy?"

Pein rolled his eyes.

"Well, if I catch any of you with her, you're as good as dead."


*end of flashback*



I shuddered at the thought of that, knowing very well, that Pein would easily carry out his threat.

Well, I guess that's a problem for the future. I should probably focus on the problem at hand, and that is how to stop everyone from screwing up my home...

Wait....

Is that my chainsaw?!

I turned around to see, not Hidan, but Tobi wielding a chainsaw.

CRAP.

Alright! Finally done procrastinating! R&R peoplez!
