Sasori snorted. Why was he here with the kunoichi at the bridge in the first place again? Oh right, he swored, god dammit! Swored!
Out of the two choices to agree, he just HAD to choose protecting this kunoichi. Though, staying at Sakura's home would be too boring since without any chakra, he couldn't do anything except sitting around here and there.
At least the choice he made was going to be fun, with this Kyuubi kid shouting at him every second and the Uchiha survivor glaring holes into his back as he was walking BESIDE Sakura when the mission had started. He smirked at the angry Uchiha. He could tell that the Uchiha kid was dying for the spot beside Sakura.
Their mission was a C-rank mission to escort, once again, not surprisingly, a girl to the Sand village. The same thing happened like everytime they had a girl for a charge. The same routine was that the girl would hug Sasuke while Sasuke growled and tried to push the girl off which was failing terribly as he tried not to put chakra in his hands to get rid of their charge.
Apparently, Kakashi was too busy to come with them or more like lazy and casually mentioned that Sasori was good enough to protect them all. Naruto would exclaim while Sasuke ignored him with an eye twitch knowing that Kakashi implied that they were probably weaker than Sasori. Sakura, however, seemed happy with the idea which made Sasuke annoyed.
Sasuke was irritated as he watched Sasori smirking at him tauntingly. He scowled in response.
'Just a few more minutes till we arrive at Sand village.' Sasuke mentally thought to calm himself down but to no avail as the charge of their's was holding his arm tightly and sounded like she shrieked her words out on asking him on a date like a banshee.
"Yes! Finally! No more whining!" Naruto cheered as he broke the silence between Sasori and Sakura when they arrived at Sand village.
"I wonder if we'll see him." Sasuke muttered out finally glad that they arrived. Not caring anymore, he pushed the girl with more strength away than him. The girl gave a pout which looked nothing like one but to Sasuke's relief, she left.
"You mean him?" Sakura asked, turning around to look at him.
Sasuke nodded.
"Yeah, him."
-
"I trust they arrived already, Kazekage-sama?" An advisor blurted out as he noticed the Kazekage leaving his office and getting ready to 'poof' to the gates to meet their guests.
"Aa."
-
"I've been to Sand Village before, but I've never had time to explore it." Sakura said excitedly jumping up and down and giving a silent message to Sasori through her eyes.
Sasori sighed at the puppy-eyed look of Sakura's knowing she wanted him to show her around. "Fine. I doubt Sand has changed at all."
Which surprised Sasuke and Naruto when the sentence came out since they had not heard Sakura asking Sasori anything. Yet, there was another voice. A low, sexy, very seducing, did I mention, sexy voice?
"Uchiha, Uzumaki and Sakura-san. The Hokage sent me a letter saying you would be here. I haven't thank you for saving my life yet, Sakura-san. I also must thank you for saving my brother, Kankurou."
The trio spun around facing Gaara. Sakura flushed at the praise the Kazekage was giving her. "It was no problem Kazekage-sama."
"Please, I do not wish to be called that. You are my guest, including your teammates. Please call me Gaara." Gaara stated politely. She noted that Gaara ignored Sasori but nodded. "If you insist Ka…Gaara-san."
Sasori narrowed his eyes at the Kazekage's look on Sakura. He smirked and stepped in. "I was just about to tour Sakura-san. It's best we be going." He started. Sasori held Sakura's hand and walked off. Naruto felt his jaw drop. He raised a finger to the now disappearing 'couple'.
"That… THAT BASTARD!"
-
Sakura blushed as she looked at Sasori's back and his hand holding hers. That, was most certainly interesting. She was thankful that Sasori had saved her from the intense gaze that Gaara was giving her. There was also something different about Gaara… Come to think of it, Sasori seemed a little different too.
Perhaps a little bit more, protective? His hand on hers was firm yet comforting and warm. She let out a smile as Sasori looked back at her.
"Thanks."
It was just a glimpse. But it was clear.
Sasori was smiling back at her.
-
"That stupid Sasori! Who does he think he is? Taking Sakura-chan! Wait till my DEAR Hinata-chan hears about this! Ah! Ramen ramen!" Naruto ranted as he was left with Sasuke and the Kazekage which both were glaring at the couple who left a few seconds ago.
Sasuke was angry at Sasori for taking Sakura away while Gaara, was just plain pissed at being ignored when he himself had ignored the man in question.
Sasuke sighed. It's going to be a long long day.
-
Sakura gasped. She didn't know a place like this existed in Sand. "How do you Sand people support a wide range of flowers and a waterfall in your village?" Sakura asked curiously.
Sasori smirked. "A secret."
Sakura ran into the middle of the flower field and twirled around with hands out then promptly let herself fall back onto the field. She giggled as she plucked a daisy and put it on her ear. "How did you find this place?" Sakura questioned once more.
"I found this place when I was lonely and bored. When my parents were frequently out on missions, I would come here and it would ease my sorrow." Sasori replied once he settled down by sitting next to her.
Sakura felt sorry for bringing up a sad matter that's best not to be brought up. As though her body had a will of it's own, tears started welling up in pity for Sasori, then, she hugged him.
"You're not alone."
For once, Sasori felt something warm in his heart for a very long time and felt his shirt dampening.
"Try not to cry too much. It's troublesome to change my outfit."
Sakura cried and laughed at the same time.
Sasori's face curved into a genuine smile for the second time that day.

Omg! Sasori SMILES. Hooray for fast advances!
Reading too much Harry Potter fanfiction lately! I had almost written 'apparate' instead of 'poof'.
I don't think there will be a Gaara and Sakura interaction for love because it'll be too much guys for Sakura to handle!
A little bit of SasuSaku and ItaSaku. But don't worry, it's still staying on Sasori and Sakura! Spotlights on them!
Uwaaah! Chapter 272 of Naruto came out! Sasori is soooo strong. Sakura should join Akatsuki!
Tune in to the next chapter!
