Disclaimer:/ I do not own Naruto
AN:/ A lot of people wanted to know why Sakura didn't hate Sasori's guts in the last chapter. The reason for this is the time they have spent together. Three months(in the last chapter) and four and a half (in this chapter) is a long time to get to know someone and I would think that after spending that much time with someone who dose nothing but treat you like a princess and tell you how much he loves you, Sakura's hate would die out a little. And on a side note, it's true love. True love concurs all!
Please review, flames are welcome.

Chapter Nine
Love
That four letter word could make or break so many people.
Next to hate, many claim it to be the most powerful in the English language.
True, it is sometimes misused, but many can tell when the one confessing is sincere.
Love has that power.

Sakura sighed heavily, falling down to the ground with a soft thump. Sliding her legs out from underneath her body, she let them dangle over the small pitfall that was only a few feet deep. Swinging her legs back and forth in a childish way, she smiled softly to herself. Thankfully there was a bit of shade to cover her position from the scorching sun.
Sasori wasn't kidding when he told her it would be hot where they would be going. Plus their uniform cloaks didn't make the trip any easier. Those things were heavy and thick!
"We'll be heading out in another five minuets Sakura chan."
The pink haired girl sighed heavily and brushed a loose bang out of her line of vision. "These breaks are always so short. We've been traveling for hours."
Sasori came up beside the weary female and stood behind her. "If it means anything, I will ask for a delay of missions so that we can stay back more often."
"I don't mind going out on missions. But, I would like it if we had longer breaks."
Sasori looked behind him and sighed, setting down next to Sakura. "I suppose we could spare ten minuets as opposed to five. It won't make much of a difference."
Sakura turned towards the red haired male and smiled brightly in thanks.
"But I require you attention for a duration of that time.
Her smile dropped a bit. "You mean you want to talk."
"That is what I so stated."
Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed, yet again. "If you want to talk than just talk. And be a bit more loose about it. It kind of makes me feel lower when you talk so properly. It's almost as if you're scared of me or something."
Sasori looked down at his hands, fisting them loosely. "Fine, I want to talk. Will you listen?"
"Yes I'll listen. Now, what is it that's been on your mind. I can tell some thing's been bothering you."
Sasori did not immediately respond, but obviously flinched at the comment. "You noticed?"
"I think Deidara noticed."
"Sakura chan...there has been something I have been wishing to discuses with you. We've been...-I've known you for four and a half months and though I tell you this almost every day, I do not think you really understand what I am trying to tell you."
Sakura looked over at Sasori oddly. "What is it?"
"I love you Sakura chan. I've loved you since the first moment my eyes met yours. I've loved you every moment since and there has not been a minuet of my life that hasn't been spent with you in mind. You plague me night and day. I can't get you out of my mind not matter what I try. Pleasing you has been a ruling obsession in my life and all these emotions I though I would never feel are building up inside of me and need to come out. I love you Sakura. You mean the world to me. I would die for you. Even if it only made you smile I would gladly discard my life. I can't control it anymore. When I tell you I love you I mean it. I don't want you to think this some sort of joke. I love you."
Sakura was looking down, letting her bangs fall over her eyes like a curtain to her soul. Sasori always had a habit of knowing what she was feeling or thinking by looking into her eyes. She didn't want him to see her now as her defenses crumbled.
Where was her strength?
'I will always be frightened around you.'
'There is no course of fate that would lead me towards such a view.'
'You are the guy who has ruined my life and continues to twist the knife in my wound,'
Where was that Sakura. She knew that side of her was gone forever. Why? Because over the last two months, she had begun to like Sasori back. And by God, was love a powerful thing!
She didn't want it to show, and she hadn't really realized it until a few days ago, but her heart returned the feelings he had for her.She didn't want to love him. He killed her people. But, he was always so kind and caring towards her.
"Sakura chan, please answer me. I know you may have had instances in the past when other's told you they loved you and then betrayed their words, but I'm not like that. I've never loved any other woman and I never will. You own every part of my entire being. Why...why can't I make you see this? Why can't I get you to return my affections. I know I should be grateful to have you tolerate my presence and have me by your side, but I...I want your love. I can understand if you can't love me back the same way I love you. But...I want-need you to know that I feel this way towards you. Earnestly." His voice was so desperate Sakura could tell he was sincere.
Sakura felt her throat close up on her and her breathing became labored. "Sasori..."
"No, Sakura. Please don't say anything. I-I was out of line. Just having you by my side is enough." Sasori stood up to leave but was halted by the tug on his cloak.
Sakura turned around and stood up to face the red haired puppet. A curtain of pink kept her eyes hidden in the shadows so he couldn't see what her expression was.
Her hands moved upward and rested on either side of his face as she borough her own closer to destroy the distance between their lips. She didn't need words. He didn't need words. He shook a bit with joy as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. Sakura pulled away and rested her head under his chin.
"I love you too Sasori."
