Sasori and Sakura are the same age, to me at least! Let's just PRETEND that Sasori doesn't have a puppet body and is all abs! -drools-

Puppets : 2
"Ugh..." Sasori groaned as he clenched his head and stomach. He looked around his surrounding and expected to be in a cell where they kept missing-nins but did not expect to see himself lying on a comfortable bed and his head resting on a soft pillow.

'Must be the kunoichi's home and her parents room since the bed is much too big for herself.' To comfirm his thoughts, he noticed a photo frame of a smaller version of the pink-haired kunoichi with two other adults.

He slowly pushed himself off the bed and went downstairs. With his keen eyes, he found a note on the dining table.

Sasori-san,

There's some snacks on the kitchen counter. It's ramen. Heat it up in the oven next to it. There are some cup ramen if I'm gone longer than a day. At most, I'll come back tomorrow.

Sakura.

He snorted. He bet the kunoichi didn't think he could cook. Might as well eat the ramen and give her a nightmare she can never forget when she comes home.

The mission went quite well. It was quite funny to see Sasuke trying to push the girl off him. Sakura ignored him while Naruto laughed at Sasuke's bad luck.

'What the hell is wrong with Sakura? Wouldn't she fight for this position instead of ignoring me?' Sasuke thought still trying to make the glomping charge of theirs to get off him.

After the mission, Sakura would usually be the first to run home since she would want to take a shower after a mission. Sasuke looked at her suspiciously while Kakashi and Naruto couldn't care less since they wanted to go home quickly.

'Damn. I don't want to go home!' Sakura said mentally as she thought about Sasori. But she knew she would have to face this in the end. She sighed and walked home.

In the meantime with Sasori, while slurping ramen into his mouth, thought about a devilish idea to scare her. Something she can never forget.

A dark look came over his face.

Oh, wouldn't you know? The kunoichi will never forget this.

It will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Sakura screamed.

This wasn't what she expected!

Oh god.

The horror.

Sasori was in her mum's pink apron and putting food on the dining table. What's more, he was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.

The food more importantly, looked like it was fit for royalty.

Wow, who knew Sasori could cook?

Sakura raised a hand to point at Sasori.

"You... you... ca-can c-cook?" Sakura stuttered out. Sasori's only reply was to look at her boredly. She swore she felt an urge to look out the window to check if pigs were flying and that Orochimaru was shaking hands with Tsunade-sensei.

Sasori felt amusement in him as he stared at her. The kunoichi was interesting. Of course he knew how to cook! Heck, he was the prodigy of cooking since the age of 7 and won cooking contests. He had housewives visiting him daily while he had not joined Akatsuki to taste their food to see if their cooking was perfect. Even Chiiyo-baa-sama wanted him to cook for their daily meal.

Even in Akatsuki, everyone, including Itachi which Kisame wouldn't stop pestering wanted him to cook for them but when he pointed out on how the hell would they get groceries if they were so far out in the wild, all hell went loose. In the end, much the Akatsuki primary members dismay, he did not cook.

Sasori inwardly rolled his eyes at the memory. The kunoichi finally regained her composure and looked at him weirdly. "The food's getting cold. Besides, you must be hungry after a mission." He said.

Sakura blinked and nodded, settling herself on a seat. "Itadakimasu." She said out of habit to thank for the meal. Sasori picked up his chopsticks and took some of the food set out on the table. Sakura hesitated and wondered if there was any poison in it.

As if reading her mind, Sasori broke the silence.

"There isn't any poison in it if that's what you are thinking."

Sakura blushed. Embarrassed, she popped the food into her mouth. "Delicious!" She blurted out. Not caring, she stuffed herself. Sasori smirked and watched her eat while occasionally eating some food himself.

Sakura setted her bowl down and let out a breath. "That was good! I haven't had any delicacies since I was young!" She said.

Sasori let another smirk out. "I'm glad you liked it."

"Of course! You should teach me some of the recipes! It's amazing! I can't believe you could make use of the food stored in my refrigerator." Sakura replied.

After neither of them spoke, the tension rised, even more when Sakura spoke the question each have been wondering about.

"What are you going to do now? Are you going to become a Konoha citizen?"

"Hn. It's better than being in Sand. People here would probably accept me better than there." He replied. It wasn't direct, but Sakura understood it. He wants to become a Konoha citizen.

"I can bring you to Tsunade-sensei tomorrow if you'd like." She asked.

He nodded.

"I'm going to take a shower, but before I leave, I take it you took the time to explore my house when I wasn't here? You can use my parents room which you woked up in earlier." She said before going upstairs to shower.

Sasori sighed. His chakra was going to be taken away for awhile. He wondered where he'll be living after tomorrow.

He didn't want to leave here... Wait. It sounds like he is getting attached to the kunoichi.

Crap.

tsuzuku.
