Okay to clear things up and to also get an explanation.

Akahina97:

I'm explaining why Sasori seemed to of tried to degrade Hinata, also thank you for enjoying my story so far (:

This is one of Sasori's quotes that I had dug up from Narutopedia.

(About Chiyo and Sakura) "It's embarrassing, really... How long does it take to finish off one little girl and an old hag... I never thought I'd have to resort to my best puppets..."

Calling Hinata "a mere girl" is just an idea I got from one of his quotes, it seemed to of fit for him.

Also I'm not sure what me being male or female has to do with my story. My profile clearly tells that I am female.

Anyways, now that I hope I got that cleared up on any other angry readers. On with this chapter!

I felt his hand tighten on mine as he walked me down the hallway in a slightly quick pace. Was he always in a hurry? I felt an urge to test this as I tried to slow down my pace, now it seemed like he was dragging me. "What are you doing?" He asked in slight annoyance. "Nothing. Just walking." I simply stated. It was the truth, no?

I heard him give out a sigh to my answer. I refuse to give this up despite him or any other members having feelings for me, why should I stay? Did I not deserve my happiness? I hated sounding conceited, I've suffered enough in order to know the difference between being as frail as a butterfly and as shallow as a mud puddle. I whimpered a little feeling Sasori's arm drape over me. What are you thinking about? "You." I said with a hint of sarcasm. I watched a smirk play upon his lips.

"Hm, I was thinking of you too." He said cockily. I glared at him then rolled my eyes. I felt his arm get heavier as he rested it lazily on my shoulders. "Get off of me!" I snapped. "If I don't?" He asked stoically. "You going to beat me up? Good luck with that one." He said with another smirk playing on his features. "You're a piece of work you know that?" I said angrily. His smirk grew at my comment. "Obviously."

When we arrived at his door he opened it like Hidan had done for me. I walked in casually. "You don't impress me." He followed in after me. "As if I'm trying to. I would if I wanted to." He sounded almost sure of himself. "Sasori, I have a question for you." I mumbled innocently. This seemed to of softened him up a little because his cocky look seemed to fade. "What is it, Hinata?" He asked curiously. "What makes cocky bastards like you?" I asked still sounding innocent. His curious look faded and he had a look of aggravation. I smiled sweetly at him.

"Go to sleep, Hinata." He commanded me. "If I don't?" I asked in a bored tone trying to mock his question from earlier. "Now whose the 'piece of work' here?" He asked in annoyance. "Still you." I said with a mocking grin. He gave a slight glare and it faded as fast as it came. "Hn." He grunted.

I walked over to the bed and started pulling my shoes off. I noticed his calm and curious gaze resting on me. "What are you staring at?" I asked him slightly disturbed. He shook his head and walked over towards his scrolls again. My legs are starting to feel better again. Maybe if Deidara is still off somewhere and I was feeling up to running again... Maybe, just maybe. I can warm up to Sasori more, earn his trust within a few hours. Bonding with him made me feel kind of odd. But I have to if I ever want to get out of here.

I took in a silent deep breath as I stood up thinking of how I should go about doing this. I walked over to Sasori after thinking that he seemed to respond to conversation more than physical contact, that can come later. "What brings you over here?" He said with a mix of sarcasm and curiosity. "I want to get to know you better..." I muttered to him while trying to sound serious and interested. "Hn. What is your opinion on art, Hinata?" I never thought he'd ask of my opinion so I stood there for a bit searching for a logical answer.

"Well, it depends on the cases. There's music, paintings, crafting, and also natural beauty such as waterfalls and rainbows." I started off. He turned his attention to me seeing that I was giving sensible statements this time. I continued, "Beauty in nature is what I look at the most though. However, there are many interesting masterpieces made by artists and others that like expressing their feelings through poetry and other crafts." I finished. I hope he accepts that. It seemed as if I were babbling; but it was how I felt. I spent so much time admiring Shino's insects, and also the naturally cute Akamaru. After spending time in the woods and practicing my jutsu alone I always admired the waterfalls, rivers, and landscapes.

"I see." Sasori stated, I guess he did take that as an answer. He turned his attention back to the scroll that he was holding; am I that boring to lose his attention like that? "What are you reading?" I asked him with faked curiosity even thought I really didn't care. "Oh... Nothing. He closed the scroll back up and laid it at the top of the pile careful not to make them collapse.

"What got you so interested in me all of a sudden?" He asked with heavy suspicion in his tone. "Umm..well, I just... thought that maybe I'd get to know you... You know, since I'm going to be spending the rest of my days with you?..." I said more as a question than an answer, hoping he'd buy it. He stared up at me in suspicion, the look in his eyes seem to say that he was trying to read me.

I felt nervous that he'd catch on. Even if he did accept my answer I'd surely think that he'd catch on before I even tried this act. He stood up and draped his arm over me again. I felt my cheeks heat up. He didn't have his normal cocky or bored look, it held interest and confidence. He led me over to the bed and pushed me down by my shoulders. He took the spot next to me as we continued our conversation on the subjects of Art, puppetry, and his slightly sickening process of converting people into puppets, including himself.

It's not that I found his process completely disgusting; it was actually interesting and complex. During our conversations he had actually advanced on me a little by stroking my hair, back, and cheek. Nothing too affectionate, but I could tell he was flirting a little. It kills me to admit it but I enjoyed our bonding time. He did impress me, I guess he was sure of himself.

If I did want to start my plans with escaping; I'd better start kissing up to him now. It embarrassed me to do all of these flirtatious actions. I held my breath as I leaned my head onto his shoulder and pressed my side to his while he continued his new topic of his childhood. He watched me as he kept telling me his story; he seemed to of enjoy my body against his because of his body motions and the way he looked and spoke to me. He seemed to have a softness to his stare. His voice also seemed more alluring to me.

This was making me nervous but, not scared of what he'd do to me if I let our actions towards each other continue. I held my breath a for about 5 seconds as I began to nuzzle my cheek into his neck. I seen a light smirk play on his lips as he was near finished with his story. He seemed to be planning something; I felt my cheeks heat up at what might happen when he was done.

His childhood story made my heartache in pain, it somewhat gave me the same feeling I had felt when I witnessed Naruto growing up over the years and also about Gaara when I found out about his past. I heard him say his last word making me awaken from my thoughts. I looked up at him, his lips twisted into a smirk. When I seen this I could of sworn that every fiber in me screamed 'oh shit!'.

I felt myself being pressed against the bed gently by my shoulders. Sasori leaned over me with the same soft look in his eyes that seemed to contain a bit of sadness. His childhood must have triggered this. He leaned down closer to me and lightly brushed his lips over mine. I felt my cheeks flare with heat. He kissed me along my jawline trailing down to my neck. My lip quivered in response and the butterflies within me had been set free again.

I cried out in shock and pleasure as I felt him bite at my neck. "Sa-Sasori." I breathed out his name. I heard him chuckle as he kept nibbling at the one spot on my neck. He moved to my ear and started nibbling at my ear. I cried out again and wrapped my legs around his hips. I couldn't control myself this time. Or is it that I didn't want to? I wrapped my arms around his neck and started to run my fingers through his red, messy hair. He brushed his hands down my sides as he nipped playfully at my ear. His hand stopped in its tracks as it began to softly rub the side of my breast. I couldn't suppress a moan to his soft caresses. He continued his way down and stopped to rub my hips. he continued his way back up after rubbing my thighs. He repeated the process of rubbing my curves while he kissed me on my lips and neck.

He climbed off of me making me groan from his absence. He smirked at me. "We can continue this some other night." He said with a mischievous tone. I blushed at his comment as I sat up in the bed. I positioned myself on my side of the bed, but closer to him than I normally was. I watched as he walked around cutting off the lights and then made his way back to the bed. He shed his cloak and laid down next to me. He noticed my closeness and must of taken it as permission to embrace me; he tugged me into a hug and held me close to him. He ran his fingers through my hair like he had done before; it made me feel drowsy and relaxed.

The butterflies in my stomach however, did not calm at all. I had many thoughts running through my head; I feel that I'm falling for this criminal. It goes against everything of the Leaf Village; but do I honestly care anymore right now? I don't even know the answer. I nuzzled my cheek into his neck finding comfort by his form. I did work so hard at becoming what I am now; should I really give this up for the puppet-master that lies next to me? It's best if I get sleep, I'm really in no condition to be answering my own questions.

I felt myself starting to drift off after a while of him stroking my hair and kissing my cheeks and forehead.

Please no flames .

It's a little hard to get Sasori's affectionate side since it never showed what he was like when having one!
