Sasori came home late that evening, having gone to a few more stores before leaving the village. He had two large bags filled with various chocolates and a bouquet of flowers the florist ensured him would charm any girl. Of course, the man was shaking so bad seeing the master puppeteer, that Sasori wasn't feeling as confident as he'd hoped.

Outside he had been practicing what he would say to her as he gave her the gift.

Desari would open the door to her room, and he'd hold out the flowers with a charming smile and say…

Sasori's mind went blank.

He never actually came up with what he would say, but he sincerely hoped he would come up with something soon. He neared Desari's room and knocked on her door.

"Coming!" Desari opened the door, and Sasori's heart began to race. She looked at him strangely as he just stood there and gaped. Desari had just gotten out of the shower and was wearing a soft colored nightgown, her wet hair falling over her shoulders and smelling of roses.

Stunned, Sasori looked down at his bouquet realizing there wasn't a single rose in it. I'll kill the bastard. He thought as she smiled at the flowers in his hand.

"Um, are those for me?" Desari gave him a bright smile.

"Oh. Yeah. Here." He shoved them into her arms. She laughed at his awkwardness, finding it incredibly cute. The boy couldn't charm worth a damn. Yet she couldn't help but smile at his attempts.

Desari took the flowers and put them down on the nightstand by her bed. Turning back to Sasori, she noticed the large shopping bags beside him. He wasn't paying attention to her as he looked around her somewhat bare room.

"Did you go shopping, today?" She asked, staring pointedly at the bags. Sasori looked down.

"Oh. Yeah." He walked up to Desari and placed the bags on the bed, opening them to reveal the chocolates. "Actually I got these for you." Desari's eyes lit up.

"You got me chocolate?" Excited, she started ruffling through the packages. "So many…"

"Well, yeah. Deidara never told me what you liked, only that you liked chocolate."

Desari looked at Sasori with a bright smile on her face, "You asked about me?"

"Yeah, of course." Sasori looked at Desari, confused as she slowly stalked him across the room. Desari had a fairly mischievous light in her eyes that he hadn't seen before.

"Sasori..." She wrapped her arms around him.

"Yeah?"

"Three."

Sasori laughed and kissed the smiling girl in his arms.

So this is what it's like to conquer the world...

Desari was bored.

Shortly after Sasori returned home, Pein called all of the guys to the meeting room and passed out assignments. Everyone was given a mission tonight, but her.

Not that she'd complain. She couldn't bring herself to kill anyone, even if Pein threatened her life.

Not knowing what to do, she sat on her bed and ate some chocolate. Then a huge grin crossed her face as she thought of Itachi and the spare bedroom. Grabbing some chocolate, she ran to meet the other female occupant.

Kiesha brushed her raven hair out of her face wondering what she could do. Itachi came home two hours ago with blood on his clothes again. Kiesha knew not to ask what happened, especially after seeing that look in his eyes when she mentioned her father. She smiled at the obvious concern in his eyes whenever he looked at her.

Unfortunately, his stay wasn't long as he was given a mission tonight.

Kiesha wandered around the little room in a clean shirt. She was bored.

A sudden knock at the door had Kiesha running to open it. Partially hoping Itachi had returned already, her smile faltered a bit seeing a blonde-haired girl on the other side. Eyeing her suspiciously, Kiesha let the girl in.

"Hi, there." The blonde said. "I'm Desari. Deidara's sister. You're a friend of Itachi's right?" Kiesha nodded.

"All of the guys are on a mission tonight, and I thought you could use some company." She gave a bright smile and held up a large bag of chocolates. "I brought some chocolate!" Kiesha smiled. She did like chocolate.

"Come on in. Uh, there's not really a place to sit, but…"

"That's alright." Desari sat on the floor beside the bed and leaned against it. She patted the spot beside her until Kiesha joined. Passing her a chocolate bar, Desari asked, "What's your name?"

Kiesha took a bite and thought of Itachi. Turning to Desari, she smiled and replied, "Saya."

Desari smiled, but before she could say anything a loud crash was heard from upstairs.

The two girls ran up to Pein's suite and knocked on the door. Very hesitantly a quiet voice asked, "Who's there?"

"Are you alright, honey?" Desari asked. "We heard a crash."

The girl opened the door and let them in. Desari immediately went over to the girl who laid on the ground in the kitchen, groaning.

"What happened?" She asked. The girl standing beside Saya answered.

"Savannah was trying to get me medicine for my stomachache. Master Pein leaves it on the top shelf of the cabinet and I couldn't reach. But she fell." A small scratch was found on Savannah's knee, so Desari walked over to a nearby plant to draw forth a medicinal herb.

"Well, she just has a small scrape. Nothing to be worried about." The plant formed under Desari's hand and she applied pressure to release the antibiotic cream from the stem. She rubbed the medicine onto the cut and stood up. "All set!"

Reaching up to the top shelf, Desari reached for a container of medicines. "Is it your time of the month?" She asked the other girl. Shyly, she nodded. Desari grabbed her a Motrin and a glass of water.

Saya turned to the girl beside her and asked, "What's your name?"

"Rayne."

Saya smiled. "Nice to meet you, Rayne. And Savannah." She added looking over to the girl standing beside her twin. "I'm Saya."

"And I'm Desari." Desari handed Rayne a glass of water and turned to give Savannah the same. Both girls thanked her quietly and took their medicine.

Watching them, Desari got an idea. "Hey! I'll be right back!" Five minutes later, she returned with a bowl of popcorn, chocolate, and a stash of movies. "Movie night!"

Everyone smiled.
