Sai smiled as he breathed in the sweet, slightly moist air of the hospital. Ah, it felt so good to be able to roam freely. Even if he had to go to 'suicide prevention' ceremonies every other day now. Hell, if it wasn't court ordered… he probably would skip them all together. Though, sadly, they WERE court ordered. So… if he didn't… they'd but him under watch or some shit. Not that he really… you know… CARED. So they got to see his drunken, neglectful so-called-father. Well, he did paid attention to him sometimes. He paid attention to him when he was beating him. In all senses of the word. Even sexually, some days. But, that was just to prove to Sai that Danzo knew he was there. He recognized his presence… and that was all Sai needed.
"So, how's it feel to be free, Sai?" Naruto asked, patting his back. Sasuke had promised he'd be there to see his release… but Gaara had come down with a mysterious illness… and ever since a weak ago, Sasuke had spent every waking moment with the Gothic Ginger. No one knew what exactly what the boy was ill from… except Sai, that is. It was this 'virus' of sorts. Something administered to the perfect hosts body through the mouth. It can only be given by someone that particular individual host trusts. Because they have to swallow after the kiss. Deidara had spent time with Gaara recently… obviously he had been able to get the 'virus' into his mouth and administer it successfully. The virus was tasteless, and scentless. Colorless, too. And completely safe for someone without the right DNA. So, even if Deidara had swallowed some… he'd be safe.
Now, since Sai was the only one in the organization that Naruto trusted completely… he was to be the one to administer it. The one to give the love of his life a 'virus' that could potentially kill him. Ah, the irony. His love would be the think that kills his crush. This 'virus' (or living poison, as the Leader liked to call it. But since Virus was simply easier and quicker to say… the rest of the Akatsuki simply called it that. Except for Itachi, because he liked calling things by what they're called. Not by nicknames.) would be enough to alter his DNA and give him a 'multiple personality' of sorts. Once that multiple personality develops completely… The Akatsuki would remove it, and give it an artificially constructed body to live in. From there… Sai had no ideawhat they would do. The Akatsuki was huge… spread across the entire country. In some other countries, too. So, perhaps they would try to take over the world.
Sai was only a weapon. A puppet, if you will. He was used as the Akatsuki told him… and once he filled his purpose… he would either be let go… or killed. He preferred the former rather then the later… but he supposed it was up to Sasori. Sasori was his keeper. The one that told him status reports, what to do, and how to do it. He didn't get to see any of the other members… only the ones he went to school with. So, he got to see Sasori, Deidara, Itachi, and this kid named Obito. (Codename Tobi. Why he had a codename… well… Sai wasn't sure).
The darker haired male smiled over at Naruto and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. He had no idea how he was going to do this… but he had to. It was either do this… or die. And since he was conceited… he valued his life more then the comfort of others. "Walk me home, Tiny Dick." "Sai… you're pushing it."
