A/N: I do not own Naruto

Chapter 10

Sakura P.O.V.

I sighed throwing myself down on Sasori's bed watching him work on the puppet he made me. My first attempt to learn how to use it ended with it partially broken…. ok a whole lot of broken. I was aggravated but Sasori was a very patient teacher. Surprising since he normally had very little patience. I had got the gist of using her until we decided to try and do battle training with her. I miscalculated and instead of dodging his attack I mixed up my strings and swung her full force into his attack. It was amazing I didn't shatter her.

"Sasori?" I rolled over on my stomach resting on my elbows to look at him.

"Hn?" was his only reply as he leaned over cherry.

"Do you think I'll ever be able to control Cherry like you do Haruka?"

He put down his tools and turned to look at me, "Its possible. But Sakura keep in mind I have been doing this for years. Think of it like your medical training. Its very difficult at the beginning but once youu get the hang of it, it will come naturally and easier."

I sighed and rolled back over and stared at the ceiling, "I know, but I need to be able to do this before we go after Sai. He will expect everything I can do that comes with my medical ninjutsu, but he would never expect me to come into battle with a puppet or with my new jutsu. I want him to pay and suffer, but at my current level of power and techniques he will probably be able to take me out. He's stronger then he looks. He was trained in secret in a program very few knew about to be used to over throw lady Tsunade, but he got used to having us around and wanted to be out friend and help instead."

"Sakura stop. You are one of the strongest kunochi I know, and don't tell Konan this but I'm more afraid of you then her."

I tilted my head back so I was looking at him slightly upside down, "Really?"

"Yes brat."

Sasori's P.O.V.

I watched a smile illuminate her face and her eyes glow before it turned into a small scowl when she realized I had called her a brat again. I loved to see her eyes light up with happiness and when they lit up with fire when she was angry or annoyed. She was beautiful with when she was showing her true self not the harden girl she showed everyone else.

I was the only one that had the privilege of seeing her weak moments and vice versa. I trusted her even though she killed me once and I could tell she trusted me. To the rest of the group and world we were strong and didn't show our weaknesses. We showed some degree of happiness her more than me and she showed all her emotions which made her strong, but she never showed her insecurities to anyone but me and I only really dropped my guard around her.

"That was a mean thing to call me Sasori especially since you look the same age as me." She said sticking her tongue out at me.

I chuckled lightly going back to working on Cherry. She chose the name after her namesake. She thought it would be cute. She was better at controlling Cherry then she thought she was. She was trying to figure out the hidden compartments and released the poisonous gas. It was some quick maneuvering on my part that got me out of that one. If I wasn't careful she might surpass me.

I heard her pad softly across the floor and rest her hands on my shoulders. Before I could question her motives she started massaging my shoulders getting the knots out while I worked. I sighed laying down my tools relaxing into her touch. After a few minutes when she was satisfied with her work she stepped back and leaned down and kissed me softly.

I watched out of the corner of my eye her walking towards the bathroom. I gulped when I saw her cloak hit the floor leaving her in only a fishnet shirt with a sports bra underneath, and some shorts.

"Hey Sasori?"

"Y…yes?" I turned to face her and saw a smirk dancing across lips.

"I'm gonna take a shower in your bathroom. Ok? I might need a little help though."

I blushed when she winked at me and then bolted into the bathroom giggling. I stood grinning evilly and followed her. Oh this would be fun.

Me: hey everyone sorry it took so long to update. Have a lot going on with my dad dying and could lose him in a few days and my think tank being empty b/c of all the stress and drama. Been too depressed to write much. I make no promises when I will update again. In a way this was kinda just a filler to give insight into the weird relationship these two have. And I'm sorry it was so short. I'll let you guys decide if I should do some lime in the next chapter or not. Thanks for all my readers that have stuck with me through this fanfic. I'm not giving up its just gonna be slow going for awhile but never fear I will finish it. So please read and review.
