"Onii-San!!"

A young girl who was lending against a pole on the porch turned, looking for who called her name. Spotting a young child running up to her she gave a faint smile, her chocolate eyes burning with affection when she saw it was a small girl with long messy black hair. The child ran to her side and buried her face in the older ones chest. The girl tilted her head and kneeled down, wrapping her arms around the child, letting the child cling to her neck as she picked her up into his arms, finally noticing the tears falling from the girl's eyes.

"shhh, shhh, Why are you crying?"

"O-Onii-San, it happened again, I got s-shoved and my leg g-got all red!"

She pointed to her ripped pants leg were a rather nasty gash was showing, a fair amount of blood smeared across her pale skin, and it looked quite fresh. The brunette stared down at her little sister with worried eyes who was using her curled up fist to wipe away tears while she sniffed.

"I-I,T-They"

"They what Tai-Tai?"

"I-I was just walking! And t-they shoved and started hurting me…W-why does everyone hate me Onii-San, Why does everyone hate us?"

The girl said nothing and gently stroked the girl's, setting her in her lap when she sat on the porch, cradling her. She had no answer for the confused child so instead she gently started to hum, to calm her crying. Sure enough, soon her cries turn to small hiccups with a few sniffs, and even sooner her eyes started to drop. Before long her eyes drifted close, and her sister gently whispered into her ear.

"You don't need those people Tai-Tai. You're my baby sister, and Me and your sisters loves you very much, as does Father"

"…Pa…Pa…"

"Mh-hm, So don't worry about those others. We'll always be here for you, so you never have to worry"

"…you and pa-pa…never go?"

"Yeas, we're never going to go…."

"Onii-San….."

Amber eyes slowly opened, slightly closing due to the harsh lighting. Letting out a slight groan Taiyo placed a hand on her head and sat up, rubbing her head slightly. Last thing she remembered was getting really dizzy and fainting. Oh wait, someone caught her…with red hair…red hair?! The thought of it being Kyo made the girl stiffen and her eyes shot open, her body going on full alert.

Though she jumped when a hand clamped down on her shoulder and pushed her back on the bed, making her blink slightly.

"Eh?"

"Lay down, if you move to fast you'll get dizzy again"

Taiyo blinked once more, trying to register the voice. It was too elegant to belong to the rough Kyo, yet it was lighter then his voice as well. She tilted her head and her eyes went wide. In the chair next to her bed was none other then her redheaded Art Teacher.

"Sasori-Sensei?!?!"

The man looked up when his name was called, slowly blinking his hazel eyes. He didm't say anything, just pulled the cold cloth that she hadn't noticed off her head and placed it back into the bowl of water on the night stand. She wanted to ask what was going on but the placed another bowl in her lap, this one filled with a strange brown liquid with a spoon. Taiyo raised a brow and stared at the blank man.

"You fainted due to malnutrition"

"….."

"Your not eating enough"

"……"

Frowning the man took a spoonful of the food and, after poking the girls side to make her squeek, shoved a spoonful in her mouth. The girl let out a muffled protest, though couldn't say much other then glare. He gave a faint smile at her glare, rolling his eyes. She pulled out the spoon and dropped it into the soup-stuff, then stared at him.

"…Where am I?"

"My house"

"Why?"

"You fainted, so I brought you here"

"……oh"

The redhead gave a faint smirk and sighed, crossing her arms over his chest as he lend back in his chair. His eyes wore a lazy look, staring at the girl, wondering why she hadn't flipped yet, though in all truth the girl had forgotten hat had happened between them. taking one look at his though, and the memories came back. A blush spread on the girl's face from embarrassment and she looked away.

"You said 'Don't waste your time' when I offered to help, yet from my view you need plenty of help."

"S-Shut up!! I don't need help….I don't need anyone…."

"Like Hinata? Isn't she your friend"

"…..She's only my 'friend' cause she feels bad for me"

Sasori lend back again and raised an eyebrow, an amused smile on his face. Is that what the girl really thought? Sighing, he placed a hand on her shoulders, his eyes locked on hers. The girl stared back, confusion showing in her amber eyes when the man's smile softened.

"Taiyo, when you collapsed Hinata was near the office and saw. She begged me to take her with you. Her father came half an hour ago and had to make her leave."

"W-What?!"

The girl stared in shock at the redhead who gave a soft smile, placing a hand on the girl's head. She was so naive when it came to the care from others. It was almost like she had never had a friend! Sasori froze, blinking as the thought went through his mind. Now that he thought about it, Kisame had mentioned something about her never having friends. Which, he was still curious as to why Kisame knew so much. He looked down at the girl and gave a soft smile. He asked the girl if she had ever had a friend before and a embarrassed blush formed on her face as she looked away with a slight pout. So it was true? Chuckling lightly he gently shook his head, a soft smile on his face.

"Don't worry Taiyo. I never had many friends when I was younger either…but I'll tell you what, how about I become your friend hmm? I mean…you're a very interesting student, and I think I can have a adult like friendship with you tha-"

He was cut off when the girl gasped and tightly hugged the man. Shocked he almost fell over but caught himself. Staring at the girl a moment he relaxed and wrapped a loose arm around her back, smiling gently. He was going to take that as a yes. Taiyo gave a smile and nuzzled the man's chest before pulling away, her bright smile still there. Sasori gave his own smile back, laughing lightly. He had to admit, he liked the girl's smile, it was quite pretty.

"Sensei….Thank you so so much! But…It's late. I have to go home!"

"…Would you like a ride?"

"No I'm fine!....and don't worry! I promise to start eating healthy!"

Sasori gave a faint smile at her words then watched silently as she gave him a faint bow. He raised a brow but didn't question her. He learned not to. They walked to the door in comfortable silence and the girl only gave him a smile before leaving his house, and down the road. Sasori wasn't fully sure what just happened, but he liked it.

ugh, FINALLY their friendship is there!!
I came up with the plot, but I didn't actully think about how they get to their friendship and I didn't want to jump right into it soo....yeah....
