Wow... This chapter might be a bit confusing. Well it might not be for the reader... But to me it was. Haha, well enjoy. ~ MelloMusic!

Bold, Underlined, Italics, you know what they're used for. If not well it's obvious.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. No matter how much I beg!

Sakura drummed her fingers on the ground as she waited for the two to return. It was pretty boring sitting there with Itachi, not once did he try to strike a conversation.

When she heard grumbling from down the hall she turned to see Deidara and Sasori, both obviously hurt. Sasori's right cheek was bruised and the bridge of his nose was bleeding while Deidara had a black eye, bruised forehead and left cheek. Sakura rolled her eyes; did those two ever stop fighting?

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

After she had healed the two boys Deidara had gone off again. Sakura tried to go off with him but Sasori refused to let her leave, it was like a five-year-old and their new pet puppy (except she wasn't treated as nice as Akamaru was).

She sat in the chair once more as Sasori put up the barrier around the room again. Sakura rolled her eyes and looked at the walls with an annoyed glare. She wouldn't try and leave when he was awake AND right there, bad combination.

She watched as Sasori worked on something, he had his back turned so she couldn't really see.

"Are you making something?" She asked. She waited for an answer but nothing came except an annoyed grunt. "A puppet I'm guessing. Where did you find the time to kill someone when you had to keep track of me."

He looked back and turned around placing his feet on the floor and leaning in her direction, the same blank expression plastered on his face.

"I don't always need a real person to make a puppet", he said. "They can be made out of anything. Wood is probably a good example, but the trees must be grown with chakra and nothing more." Sakura stared at him for a second and he sighed, leaning back.

"Are you dumb or are you just registering that information for later", he asked? "Because when I get my answer, girl, I won't simply make a copy of you. I'll kill you and-". Sakura covered her ears and he smirked.

"Way too easy, and I thought you were a medic", he said. She growled and clenched her fist sending a punch at him, that he simply caught. "Calm down now. We don't need anyone getting hurt here." Sakura felt a pinch in her hand and he let go. He opened his had to show a needle tinged purple, poison.

Everything turned black and she head laughing, "now you'll be quiet for a while."

When Deidara walked back into the room he saw at least three puppets resting against the wall and Sakura passed out in the chair. He looked at Sasori he was looking at him with his indifferent look and Deidara cleared his throat, "should I ask what happened, yeah?"

Sasori looked away and pulled out three scrolls performing the necessary jutsu and seals to seal his puppets. When he finished he stood up and picked up Sakura, slinging her over his shoulder.

"Come on, we have to go now", he told Deidara. He nodded and the two left the Akatsuki base.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

When Sakura opened her eyes she was still rather dizzy. She blinked a couple times and saw she was just staring at the ground. Wait... Why? She was dropped suddenly onto the ground and thanks to gravity, took all the impact.

"Owww", she whined sitting up. Sasori looked over and glared at her.

"Stand up", he ordered. "We're still walking." She stood up and tried to access her chakra but had no success. She growled, the Violent Redhead had sealed away her chakra!

That didn't put her in a good mood. She grumbled and followed along.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"I hate you", she repeated as they traversed through the mountain trails. "I hate you, I hate you, I ha-"

CRASH

Deidara burst out laughing as she tripped and did a face plant in the dirt.

"That was awesome, yeah", he yelled. "You should have seen your-"

BAM

Sakura was just getting up so see the blonde smack into a tree. She started laughing as well and Sasori stopped watching the two with an uninterested look.

"Both of you watch where you're going", he growled. Sakura looked up and shot him a glare.

"You know you're such a stiff', she snapped. "Lighten up will you?!" Deidara looked at his partner with a sly smile.

"The girl is right Sasori", he said. "Stiff as wood. Or was, now you're just a stiff." Deidara and Sakura laughed, giving each other a high-five, but quickly pulled back when Sasori glared daggers at them.

"I am not a stiff", he growled. "So shut up Deidara. Why don't you just go make out with those mouths on your hands." Deidara and Sakura narrowed their eyes and walked on. Both stopped and looked back at him.

"Oh that's just cold."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Deidara and Sakura were staying behind as Sasori took the lead, grumbling to himself. He didn't seem very happy today.

"What's his deal, yeah?" Deidara asked. "When he was puppet he was a lot calmer." Sakura laughed.

"It's an affect", she replied. "If you were an emotionless puppet for a long time and suddenly got all your emotions back, what would you do? I mean honestly, all of this is just him letting out all of the bottled up emotions from that time. I wouldn't be amazed if one second he's on a rampage and the next he's in such a mellow mood it's unbearable."

Deidara stared at her for a second and then laughed, "you sure can talk, Pinky." Sakura laughed as well.

"You were the one that asked", she replied. She watched as Sasori stumbled a bit and silently laughed. She didn't want to take the risk of him throwing her off the side of the mountain, with no chakra it was a bit hard to stop yourself.

She was surprised when the Violent Redhead stopped and turned around looking her right in the eyes. She halted where she was and Deidara did the same. Did she hear her laugh?

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

What was it, five, ten minutes he had been staring her right in the eyes now? No hint of anything, anger, annoyance, ANYTHING!

"Sakura, Deidara", he looked at his feet for a second and then looked back at them with clenched fists. He seemed to be regretting what he was going to say next before he even said it. "About what happened earlier. I didn't mean... I mean, I just... But I..."

"Are you trying to apologize?" Sakura asked with wide eyes in disbelief. The captor was apologizing to his partner AND the captive. Something was wrong about this picture. Sasori had locked eyes with her again but quickly looked away turning on his heel and walking off again.

What was wrong with him?

Is Sasori trying to hide something from both of them? And what is this with him suddenly apologizing?

Me: Hahaha, bring the mystery.

Sakura: Mello you're crazy.

Me: I'm not crazy! I'm psychotic there's a HUGE difference.

Sasori: Not really.

Deidara: -Holds back Mello-

Me: Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em!

Sakura: -Nervous laugh-. Well then uhm, please REVIEW!
