Chapter Ten
Dove
Sasori bent over the small bird of white as it feebly tried to stand. The weight of it's broken wing keeping him from doing just that.
"The poor little guy. I found him outside and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He must have broken his wing when he fell out of his nest. He's so young, un," Deidara stated with a sigh as he held the tiny bird in his cupped hands.
"And what do you plan to do with him? You can not treat his wing. You are nothing less than an idiot when it comes to medical issues. Need I remind you, you were walking around this place with only on arm for a few days before you lost the second one," Sasori replied with a cold emotionless tone.
"That's why I came to you. I was wondering where Sakura was. She knows medical jutsus and stuff. She could heal his wing, right, un?"
Sasori's emotionless appearance melted into a slightly more hostile one. "Not a chance in hell."
"What? Why not?" Deidara asked in a whining tone.
"I said no."
Deidara looked like an angry child that was being scolded by his parents for something he wanted, but knew he could not have. "But his wing needs care! You can't just leave him like this. Look at how much pain he is in."
Sasori looked down at the bird with uncaring eyes and back at the blond explosion expert "I though you were the one who previously stated that Akatsuki members should better control their emotions."
"That was about Tobi, un. That kind was driving me up a wall, he's so annoying. I didn't mean you had to be completely heartless."
"I regret to inform you, Deidara, that I am heartless when it comes to such petty matters. It's just a bird. It's life is insignificant, get over it."
Deidara looked ready to say something more when his expression totally changed. "Sakura chan! I need your help!" he called over Sasori's shoulder.
The red haired puppet master cursed and turned around to see his pink haired blossom wandering the halls behind them.
"What is it you need, Deidara san?"
Sasori did not fail to notice the chan Deidara added to Sakura's name, or the light color of pink that was dashed across his face. Since when was he allowed to address Sakura in such a familiar manner?
"Sakura, what are you doing out of your room?" Sasori asked with a stern tone, steeping forward to guard her from his partner's sight.
Sakura sighed at the obvious display of protection that had started to get on her nerves. "I got tired of just reading medical journals and decided to go for a walk. What's the matter Deidara?"
"It's this-"
"GO back to your room Sakura, that's an order."
Sakura's eyes flashed with surprise and a bit of anger. "What? Why? Who are you to order me back to my room without a reason?"
"I'm your superior."
"Hey wait, I want her to look at this guy first, puppet face," Deidara commented coming out from behind Sasori with the injured bird in his hands.
"What is that?" Sakura asked, ignoring Sasori as well.
"Sakura..."
"Ah it's a little lost dove. It looks like it has a broken wing. Here, let me fix it and then I'll go back to my room," Sakura stated giving Sasori a hard look that said 'just try ordering me around again'.
Sasori fisted his hands but said nothing more as Sakura took the bird from Deidara. Sasori knew he was wrong to order her around like that when he had no reason other than he didn't want her near his partner with blue eyes.
He had a feeling Deidara liked his little Sakura and that sent his insides into rage, partner or not.
He watched as Sakura's hand began to glow green, hovering over the bird's broken wing. Bird's had hallowed wings for flight, so the effort was little and soon the dove was chirping and hopping around in her palm.
"Ah he's okay! That's so much Sakura chan!" Deidara cried with a grateful smiled aimed at the pink haired medic.
"Anytime, be sure to get that guy outside in the open air, though. I don't think anyone will like bird droppings inside the base, do you?" she joked back with a light smile.
Deidara laughed and nodded his head, before taking off outside.
The evil killing intent Sasori was radiating was enough motivation for him.
"You really are a stick in the mud, you know that Sasori. It was a little bird. It's not like it's going to bite me or do some great damage I can't fix in half a second. What are you so afraid of?"
"It wasn't the bird I was worried about. Deidara was..."
Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed loudly. "Oh please. I don't believe you. "It was Deidara, he's not going to kill me. I'm part of the team now, remember?"
Sasori looked away as the inward struggle began inside of his mind.
Sakura softened up and grabbed on of his hands in her own. "It's okay I forgive you. It was only a dove after all."
Sasori would have liked to leave it at that, but the next day he noticed Deidara calling Sakura dove chan. The nickname caused the blond a lot of blood.
Hopefully he'll know why he was punished and back off.
But then again, this is Deidara we are talking about.
"Wait up, dove chan!"
BAM

AN:/ This is in response to a challenge Gigicerisier posted on her Sakura Sasori form. It's a one month challenge fic that will (God willing) be updated every day.
I went to the bookstore yesterday and got Wild Ones vol.1 and Wild Ones vol.2.I love them! So, that is why this chapter is a bit fluffier than the others. I blame Wild Ones.
I hope you all like it and review! Please review! I love reviews.
Ja ne people.
