As Sasori looked over the young purple hair Anbu puppet that was once Yugao Uzuki. She had no idea of the bullet that she had just dodge by getting promoted into Sasori's proper collection as the those that were not a part of it were nothing more then canon fodder to him. Sure they had there uses here and there but when it came down to it he would think twice about destroying them or using them in situation that would only result in their destruction. Just one human puppet from his proper collection had the value of twenty of his those that were not and the numbers just kept going up as you got closer and closer to Sakura and Yakumo (his two overall favorite). His Porcelain Mage and Cherry Blossom combined were worth every mundane puppet he had and some of the least favorite members of his proper collection. However in reality regardless of what collection she was in it did not change the fact that she was human puppet as the only upside being in Sasori's proper collection was that he did not see that them as disposable thus there chances of surviving long enough for someone to get them away from him and if possible revert them back to normal were a lot better though.

Though as Sasori had Yugao, his Moonflower, pose for him in the nude with Yakumo standing next to her in the same condition as the Kurama girl and Sakura were his ideal women that he compare every woman to. The question of just how exactly did Yugao ended up with this fate of being a victim to Sasori's sick habit. Yugao was just one of the few that fell to being almost nothing more then facsimile of their human self at the hands of Suna's Red Sand and the power hungry Danzo. To find that out one would have to go back to just after Sasori had completely taken over the Yakumo's house and converted all the staff members, Medics, and Anbus into his collection.

Starting Flashback….

Yugao Uzuki sighed as a number of her friends that had been assigned to guard or worked at Yakumo Kurama's mansion now stay there 24/7 never leaving at all. From what she was told the reason was because they were there to protect Yakumo from the S-Class Missing Nin Sasori the Red Sand which had been targeting various kunoichis with special skills of some kind and had already taken two of the Hokage's students, killed a Sanin, destroyed the remaining fractions of Sound Village, and nearly wiped out a entire clan with puppet he made one of its member into.

'Its really strange they were never that dedicated to their jobs as they used to call me a workaholic but I never would do something like that' Yugao thought.

Time passed and Yugao noticed that Yakumo was coming into town more often as deemed acceptable by the Anbu and medic watching her as she had her power roughly under control but they only thing she did was had start to the library and do nothing but check out books that she would then have her disguised Anbu bodyguard (she tell they were Anbu regardless of the disguise she they were her friends that also Anbus) . Whenever someone that knew came up to her she simply wave and walk off as always appear too busy to stop and talk, which she nor her bodyguard ever did. Yakumo would only point to the book she wanted or get them herself she rarely spoke anymore which was not that strange as she was relatively quite girl to her knowledge. Having once served a guard for Yakumo during the time where she wanted nothing more then to avenge Hayate's death at the hands of Suna Nin, despite the fact they were now allies with Sand Village.

'There definitely something going on at Yakumo's mansion' Yugao thought as regardless of who she talked they did not want to believe as anymore then just worrying over nothing at all.

Not being able to take it anymore the purple hair Uzuki decide she would see for herself what was going on up there and if it was something wrong she would rush as fast as she could to inform someone at once.

Though as she headed off towards the Yakumo's what she did not know was that she was being watching.

'She getting too close and will have to be take care soon or my plan will be endangered' the figure in the shadow before completely vanishing into them.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Making her way towards the Yakumo's, the Uzuki woman made sure that she kept to the shadows and use stealth as much as possible.

She did not notice any Anbu at all until she was almost at the mansion which was rather strange as the perimeter that was suppose to be patrol was a lot larger then what she was witness here.

She was almost there when she ducked behind a tree trying to stay as hidden as possible as one of the many Anbu walked on their patrol. Their movement did not seem natural as their was mechanical like movement to them almost what one would expect of a puppet under the control of Kugutsu master.

Then everything began clicking in her head as Yakumo's sudden interest in reading tons of books most of which were history books about Konoha and various clans, the people that took care of request to be there around the clock, their sudden change in personality amongst her friends and Yakumo, and finally the unnaturally movement she saw of the Anbu just. What if the reason for all this was happen was because the very person they were trying to keep out was already here and personally set these thing into place.

'Maybe I am just being paranoid but I have confirm this for myself before reporting to the Hokage yet I can not do this alone' Yugao thought as she left since if Sasori was really there then it would be foolish to continuing going it alone.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Trying to get team together to investigate the Yakumo's mansion tried to be harder then she expected as her superior would heard nothing of it and refused to allow her to form a team on what they called nothing more then trying to connect a bunch of unrelated events together. Yet one time she notice Danzo leaving the room with a smile on his face as if he was up to something. While most people thought of him in the same respect as the Sanin there were other that just did not trust the guy as he always seem to be up to no good and had a lot questionable things connected to him.

It was possible that Danzo was influence her superior and his refusal to let get to team together but she could not just stand here and do nothing if Sasori really was here in the village. One the staff member that currently spent all there time at Yakumo was old childhood friend of her and if the missing nin really was there then it was possible that the strange movement and behavior meant she and possible other were nothing human puppet now which what Sasori was known for doing to people.

Gathering a team on her own without approval made of various people that shared her worries about what going on at Yakumo's and agreed to help her as they too felt that this something that must be done.

As she was getting ready that night to investigate Kurama mansion for a second time, she kept getting the strange feeling.

"Why do I keep wondering if this what Hayate felt when he notice those Suna and Sound ninja plans to invade Konoha four years ago" Yugao said to herself out loud as checking herself out in the mirror to be sure that her full Anbu outfit was complete and everything was in place.

Shaking it off as nothing as thinking that would invite bad luck and she was going to need all the luck she could get if her suspicions were right.

"Alright here I go wish me luck and watch over me, Hayate" Yugao said looking at his picture before leaving out her door.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Once again the purple hair Anbu was making her way towards the Kurama manor this time with team just in case anything went wrong the chances of getting away would be slightly better then if she was alone. Since if even one of them could get back Konoha and develop the information they might possibly discover then that would be enough this was S-Class Missing Nin they might be dealing with after all.

Using hand signals to direct them Yugao had one group go around the side while her own group took a bad entrance. Once inside she notice how people were just standing around with the light off not moving at all. Getting up closer as lighting did not allow them to see detail very way the angus discover that their worse fear had been realized. These people were really people at all but life sized puppets meaning that somehow Sasori had indeed take over the Yakumo's mansion and masquerading everyone here around as if they were still normal which probably included Yakumo that meaning that he already had the girl as part of his sick collection already.

Simply having picture they took of staff members and medic as nothing more then human puppets should be enough evidence to expose Sasori being here as trying to get anything else would be too reckless.

Turning to her team, Yugao signal it was time to go but was shocked when she turned around to see that her team was no longer human as they had been transformed into the same human puppet that they had just been marveling at minutes earlier.

The purple hair Anbu was shocked once again when the light turned on and she was now facing with the very person she wanted to avoid.

"Breaking and entering into someone house is crime you know" Sasori said as the Yakumo and Sakura puppets were standing at his side each one wearing absolutely nothing thus completely revealing their wooden bodies to Yugao.

"I was in the middle of admiring my two favorite girls when I was informed there was group heading this way. That guy is proving to be pretty useful and this show the area of my abilities that need work if you able to get this close without me notices at least one of you with as many Anbu puppet I have roaming the area" he said.

Facing a S-Class Missing Nin face to face and alone at that the young Uzuki woman was unable to think of what to do as she never got in mess like this before at least not alone.

"Though I am amazed that my Porcelain Mage here was able to completely transform your teammate here with just me thinking about her doing it. Though they only seem to be normal puppet with no charka in them not that I care that just more cannon fodder that I have for later" Sasori sighed going over to her teammate that was close to him.

Decide that either way her chance were not that good as she could stay and fight only to die or worse end up like her teammates as nothing more then lifeless puppet though becoming like Yakumo or Hokage's apprentice would be much better either. Or she take option number two and try to run for it and hope that she can get away. The decision took no more then a second as she decide to run bushing out the window and making a break from Konoha at full sprint never once looking back. As she ran she took extreme care not to harm the camera she had with her as it had all the evidence she need to prove Sasori was indeed here in Konoha as she took one last picture as just before she jumped out the window of Sasori with the Sakura and Yakumo puppets standing attention in the background.

Skipping over the heading to the Anbu HQ, Yugao ran straight to the Hokage Tower and almost to the Tusnade's office when she was struck in the back of the neck knocking her out cold. Her unconscious body was then dragged away as just moments later Tsunade opened the door wondering what that noise heard only to see Danzo standing there causing her to shut the door again.

As he walked away Danzo used a justu to instantly destroyed the camera that proof of Sasori being here while Yugao who had knocked out was being carried back to Sasori by one his Root agents.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

When the female Anbu awoke next she found her body was naked and frozen in pose fashion models take and that she was starring at herself in the mirror.

"I see that you are finally awake then as I thought I would have to start thing while you were still unconscious" Sasori said as Yugao could not turn around but could see Sasori and Yakumo (now with clothes on) behind her thank to them being reflected in the mirror.

"What happened? How did I get here I was just outside the Hokage's office" she asked.

"Danzo or someone from his group must have knocked you out as one his guy brought you here. He sure is proving useful at least for now as he was the one that informed me of someone catching on to my being here" the red hair Kugustu master said.

"I knew that….." Purple hair woman began to say but stopped when she mouth became as frozen as the rest of her body.

"I already add the rest of the your little group to my collection but as the mastermind behind all this your punishment will not be that simple as you are going to watched as you slowly transformed into human puppet by my Porcelain Mage's power here" Sasori told her.

Yugao could only watch helpless as slowly but surely her body converted into that human puppet through the usage of Yakumo's genjustu bloodline limit causing what she painted on the canvas to become reality. Since she was made to stand frozen in fashion models pose in front of full body mirror, she had no choice but watch the process from start to finish which would take time as this was not a quick job but well detailed work of art similar to how Yakumo painted herself into be human puppet.

Hours later…

'Finally it all soon be over as being stuck watching Yakumo be made to use her powers to transform into puppet like herself while naked frozen in this embrassing pose for female Anbu like myself has been torture Yugao thought as everything under her nose was flesh and blood but that of human puppet.

Well at least I get to be with beloved Hay….. the purple hair Anbu began thinking but her last thoughts were interrupted as her Yakumo painting over her head transformed into wood thus the reflection staring back at her was not that of flesh and blood woman but that of human puppet no different then Yakumo or Sakura.

Also despite what Yugao thought she denied the being reunited with Hayate again as she was not dead like her teammates were as human puppet like her were still alive just unable to do anything on their own.

Coming back Sasori after Yakumo was done with her task and she sitting there motionless every since finishing that last brush stroke. He direct her to another area of the mansion while he went over to the lastest addition to his collection. Examining her over and then make control of her making do more poses that she would have found embrassing if she was still aware. He then directed her to put back on her Anbu uniform which was sitting in the corner of the room.

Later that week at Anbu HQ…..

Are you sure that you and all the others written down here want to be reassigned to Yakumo manison for the purpose of simply being part of the Anbus that watch over her and this is not just way for you to pursue that mission I constantly denied last week her superior asked

Yugao merely nodded her head in respond as she no longer had the ability to speak or even a will of her own seeing as she was just one of Sasori's many human puppets under genjustu to still appear normal.

After getting the transfer request forms approve she merely head back to the manison where she would be place in the spot that she designated to patrol and never stopped as not being human anymore she nor any of other Anbu puppets Sasori had need to as they did not require sleep or food.

Flashback end

"I really have to thank you as it was your failed attempt to expose my being here that cause me to step my efforts and improve my skill level to what they are currently" Sasori said to Yugao before bringing out Sakura and make the three of them put on a show him.

"Though what type of add should I get for you my Moonflower?" he asked her though she did not respond as just keep on dancing under his control.

Making Sakura and Yakumo keep going he grabbed Yugao close to him and looked at the tattoo craved into her shoulder as it was no longer an Anbu tattoo but one of his very own design which he was thinking about adding to all the other in his proper collection to show the world that they were his girls and no one else.

"It have to be something special and fitting for you, my Moonflower" Sasori said to her.

"Oh and about that revenge you want for your former love but could not get because Konoha is currently aligned with Suna. Do not worry I will get it for you as Baki will pay for what he had done to you" he told her.

Yugao was then make to clasp her hand together in front of her chest and look Sasori in what anyone other then the red hair man would find to be grotesque parody of her being made to appear grateful he getting her revenge for her. The image was made worse but the fact that Yugao expression could not change from the vacant stare that adored the face of all his human puppets.
