I woke up with a massive headache and Sasori next to me. I smiled and cuddled up close to him, he wrapped his arm around my waist. This was the best feeling I've had in a very long time.

"Morning," he said.

"Morning Sasori," I said "How was your sleep?"

"Perfect," he kissed my forehead.

I got out of bed, showered and dressed. Sasori was already out of my room when I came out of the bathroom. I followed after doing my hair then went to the kitchen to grab breakfast.

"Morning Sasori," I smiled sweetly at him in the kitchen.

"How are you feeling this morning?" he kissed my cheek.

"Well rested, thanks for asking," I bit into an apple "Hey Sasori?"

"Yes."

"Could you show me how to make a puppet?"

"Sure," he answered a little dumbfounded "Follow me, I'll teach you now."

I followed him excitedly to his room yearning to learn this trait that he has mastered. Sasori's room had many puppets pieces scattered around, some complete, some incomplete. I walked over to one of the incomplete puppets on the table; carefully I touched it, examining it. He was going to show me his specialty, something he treasured, I was honoured.

Sasori sat me down on the stood in from of his work table. Arms around me he showed me how to build a puppet. His face next to mine, we really didn't do much puppet making. There was a knock on the door, I went to answer it.

"Yurie, Pein has a mission for you," Kakuzu called.

"Thank you."

I left Sasori to go talk to Pein. He gave me a solo mission this time, two months away from Sasori. I didn't like it, but I didn't have much of a choice. I went back to tell Sasori when I saw Deidara enter his room.

"Where's Yurie?" he asked.

"She's not here," Sasori answered emotionlessly "Why?"

"Itachi said she was here," he replied pausing "Is that lipstick on your face?"

I knocked on the door before entering the room. Both Deidara and Sasori focused their attention on me.

"You were looking for me Deidara?" I inquired laying down on the bed.

"I was, Pein has a mission for you."

"I know," I sat up "I'll be gone for a couple of months, this is a solo mission."

"TWO MONTHS!" Deidara and Sasori simultaneously yelled.

I stared at their surprised faces. I expected Deidara to react like that not Sasori, at least not in front of someone other than me. I walked out of the room with them following behind. I had to eat before I left for my mission.

"Yes, don't you ever listen," I sighed walking into the living room "I'll be fine; Orochimaru thinks I'm dead so he won't be coming after me."

"But what if he finds out that you're alive?" Deidara asked.

"I'll have fresh food standing in the way of my mission," I smirked opening the door to leave "I'll be fine, trust me."
