X. Saro

Sasori was again sitting outside of they hideout working on some damaged parts on his beloved Third Kazekage puppet. Putting the damaged am down he let out a deep sigh.

"Is the damage worse then you first thought?" asked a soft voice from behind him as a steaming cup of hot tea was held in front of him.

"Yes, unfortunately it will take longer to get the damage fixed." He said while gratefully accepting the cup.

"You will manage to repear it."

"You have to much confidence in me." Sasori said while looking over at his wife who sat now beside him.

"I know." She said smiling as she suddenly noticed something.

Sasori noticing her amused gaze followed it a bit confused, but as he finally saw what she was looking at so amused he couldn't help himself to allow himself a little smile. Both Medical-Artist and Puppet Master looked smiling at they one years old son who was curiously crawling over the favorite puppet of his father.

"He is really similar to you." Riako said softly.

"I know…" Sasori replied as he picked up the child and put him in his lap. "And that is the main ground why I will not allow that my son suffers the same pain as I did back then…" he thought as he feel suddenly as a soft hand was placed on his shoulder. What would he give now to be fully human again and not a puppet.

Since he met Riako was he often bothered by his body. It was the first time he wished that he would have never become one of his own arts. The only happiness he had that his wife loved him and assured him every time that she doesn't mind that instead of a warm human body she is laying or snuggling up to an hard artificial body. Sasori knew, if he would lose her one day he would loose his mind, but even this fear did she take away from him with the promise that when Sasori sees the time needed that she will also become the same as him.

"What are you thinking abut?" Riako's soft voice brought him back from his thoughts.

"About nothing special only abut how I could repear the puppet." Sasori said smiling at her.

"Pu…pu…." Both adults stared down at they son. "Pu…puppet…" Saro finally managed to bring the word out and looked up smiling at his parents.

"Well, looks like as if someone would continue his father's work." Riako said smiling.

"Looks like it…" Sasori said as he watched the little redhead begin to crawl over the Kazekage puppet.

He would need to start teaching him how to use the chakra strings and later how he could make his own puppets, but first he could start with his grandparents…
