Chapter Twenty Eight

"I can't see why Hidan doesn't like chocolate with dramas. Who doesn't like chocolate?"
"Shush, and give me another Almond joy."
Sakura rolled her eyes and handed her Sasori another coconut filled chocolate bar with almonds. They were his favorite, no doubt. "How is it eating? Any more pain?"
"Just a little irritation. Nothing bad. I enjoy being able to eat once again."
"I would die if I had to go a week without my chocolate. I don't know how you did it for years."
"I didn't know what I was missing out on until you came home with these treats. Hand me another one, please."
Sakura turned to her side and looked at Sasori like he was asking for a kidney. "Sasori, I just gave you one!"
"I ate it," Sasori replied blankly.
"Well eat them slower. I don't have a lot left," said Sakura.
"But they are really good. I don't see why I should stop."
"Silly, you'll get fat if you keep eating like this. Your body before this was made of wood and didn't need food and it couldn't expand. Now that you have a normal human body, you'll have to look out for stuff like this."
"...Can I still have that candy bar?" Sasori asked, pleadingly.
"Damn, you know I can't refuse you anything," Sakura sighed as she tossed Sasori another candybar from the bag that was by her side.
The two of them were sitting side by side, upon Sakura's new bed with a large blanket wrapped around their bodies. Even though it was the beginning of spring, it was still a bit chilling on nights such as these.
A television set sat in front of the two, playing Howel's Moving castle with crystal clarity. And of course, there was a bag or two at Sakura's side, filled with chocolates and treats. The hour was late, but neither cared.
"Hey, Sasori," Sakura whispered to her red haired darling who sat next to her, sharing the large blanket that was spotted with clouds of red over a ink black sky.
"Yes, Sakura?"
"Did you hear about Konan and Pein?"
Sasori looked down at Sakura and shook his head. He had been asleep for the past few days, so he really didn't know all that much about what was going on with the rest of the members in the base.
"He finally asked her, or rather, told her how he really felt. Konan nee chan was so happy. I don't think I've ever seen her smile so much," Sakura explained, sucking on a almond covered stick of Pocky.
"Really, I wonder what prompted him to speak to her after all these years."
Sakura looked up and narrowed her eyes, searching for something that would give away his emotions. "For some strange reason, I have a feeling you talked to him. Did you say anything to him, Sasori?"
"Maybe."
Sakura smiled bright, gasping in shock. "Sasori! you did say something to him, didn't you! Since Konan nee chan doesn't know, I'll thank you for her. I know she really happy."
"I didn't say much, I just told him how I felt about you and...such things. But if this makes you happy, I am pleased I did such a thing."
"Yes, I'm very happy Sasori. I am thankful for what you did."
Sasori slipped a arm around Sakura's torso and dragged her onto hi lap, setting his chin on the top of her head. Turning his face downward, he placed a soft kiss on top her head. "If you would only smile at me, with those eyes of your sparkling with the fire of your heart in joy, than all my life and it's toils would be not in vain."
Sakura blushed at how poetic Sasori was acting towards her. She was so stupid to think anyone else but Sasori could possess her hear so fully like this. She was ashamed to admit that she had a crush on Sasuke when they were younger. Any other man having a part of her heart sounded and felt so wrong.
"Sasori, you're so poetic. I... I am really glad you're mine.," Sakura whispered, nuzzling in deeper towards Sasori's chest.
Now that he was human and of flesh and blood, Sakura started to notice a certain scent he carried. The scent of the forest, of pine and earth after a rainfall. It was so comforting to be with him.
"I think you have it backwards Sakura chan. I am the one who is glad to have you here," Sasori replied.
Sakura laughed. "You are way too modest, you know. I though you would become a bit more...loose when you turned into a human, but Sasori will always be Sasori. I though your way of talking was a bit annoying at first, but now, I don't think I could have you any other way. If you were to change, you wouldn't be the Sasori I fell so hopelessly in love with."
"Hopeless, you say?" Sasori asked, tilting her chin up so that their faces were mere inches apart from one another. Seeing this, sakure smiled bright with a knowing look in her eye.
"Completely and utter lost in love without any hope, what so ever."
"Good, then in that case..." With those words Sasori killed the distance between their lips and pulled Sakura into a deep, loving kiss.
