Lucy POV


I had finally managed to get away from my studies and make it to the place where I train with the rings...

"You can come out now Sasori... I'm here..." I told his ring.

After a few seconds Sasori came out of his ring looking at me with an emotionless look on his face...

"You kept me waiting child..." he told me.

"I know and I'm sorry! I couldn't leave the mansion until I finished my studies because people we're getting suspicious of where I was running off to again!" I explained.

"Well seeing as Leader told me that we are to remain hidden in our time here... It seems that you taking time to relieve suspicion of where you are going is ok..." he said.

"So what am I going to learn from you, Sasori?" I changed the subject.

"Seeing as Leader has told me that you already know Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'in, and Illusions along with the fact that if I turn you into a puppet like me he's going to burn me" he started.

"Your a puppet?!" I exclaimed in shock.

"Do not interrupt me child... But yes I am..." he answered.

"How are you a puppet?! You look like just a normal human!" I yelled still in shock.

"I turned myself into one but that is all the information will be recieving on that as if you know how I did it you might go off and try to turn yourself into a puppet like an idiot..." he responded. "Now calm down and stop yelling your going to attract unwanted attention over here and the next thing you know our presence will become known..."

I nodded and tried to calm myself down from being in shock over the fact that Sasori was a puppet...

"Calmed down?" he asked.

"Uh huh" I answered.

"Good so as I was saying... Leader will burn me if I turn you into a puppet so instead I will attempt to teach you how to control people with the same strings that I was using to control you yesterday..." he told me.

"Ok what should I try to control?" I asked.

"Well seeing as we cannot really control a human without making our presence known you will have to try and control me" he answered.

"Got it... So how do I start trying to control you?" I asked.

"First raise your hands up and spread your fingers apart also have your fingertips pointing at me" he instructed.

I did as he told me an raised my hands up, spread my fingers apart, and had my fingertips pointing at him...

"Now what?" I asked.

"Try to foucus as much energy as you possibly can into your fingertips" he instructed.

I foucused and tried to push as much magical energy as I possibly could into my fingertips...

"Got it" I told him trying to hold the magic energy in my fingertips...

"Good now try to push as little of that magic energy out of your finger tips to create a thin string to control me with so your strings won't be noticed as easily" he instructed.

I foucused and tried to push as little magic energy as I could out of my fingertips and towards Sasori...

"How did I do?" I asked.

"Honestly it is not bad for a beginner to create strings this quickly but your strings that you have connected to me right now are too thick making it laughable for someone to be stupid enough to not notice them" he told me.

"Oh... Are they really that bad?" I asked.

"Yes but you will learn to make thinner strings over time as for right now let's see how well you can make a controlled person move" he answered.

"How do I do that?" I asked.

"Just move your fingers and the part of my body that the string is connected to... Let's start with trying to make me walk..." he instructed.

I nodded and began to move my fingers trying to make Sasori walk but...

"Sorry Sasori! Are you ok?" I asked.

I made him fall flat on his face by accident...

"I'm a puppet child so I can't feel pain... Just try and make me get up..." he commanded.

I nodded and tried to make Sasori get up but all I was really doing was making his limbs move around instead of getting him back onto his feet...

After a while of this Sasori just sighed...

"Just stop controlling me child... Pull your energy back into your body to stop controlling me..." he told me.

"No" I denied.

"No?" he asked.

"I can do this, Sasori just give me time to do it ok?" I asked.

"Fine... Try until you realize that you cannot do it..." he answered.

I tried for a few minutes to make Sasori get up but again all I was really doing was making his libs move around instead of getting him back onto his feet...

"Come on, Lucy! You can do this! Just try harder!" I thought.

After another few minutes I managed to make Sasori get off the ground and back onto his feet...

"Not bad child... You managed to make me get up but it is far from impressive... If you wish to impress me you will have to do much greater things than just making me get up or walk..." he told me.

"Then let's keep training so I can impress you" I responded. "What should I do next?"

"Again try to make me walk..." he commanded.

I nodded before getting to trying to make Sasori walk once again and let's just say that Sasori fell on the ground a lot...
