Its Going To Be A Long night

Chapter Six

A Compromise

Sakura had no idea where Sasori's room even was. So for a few minutes she was aimlessly wandering around in circles…until she rounded a corner and nearly collided with Hidan.

"GAH! WHAT THE F-RUIT ARE YOU DOING?!" he choked out in horror. Sakura merely smiled at him.

"You are going to show me where Sasori's room is." Hidan knew better than to argue. So with a weary sound that was a mix between a sigh and a groan, he led the way to sasori's room.

All the way to Sasori's room he kept looking nervously at her, but she was trying to ignore him, and she concentrated on memorizing the layout of the confusing building.

He came to a stop in front of a door, which she assumed was Sasori's room. He knocked on the door for her. He was standing directly in front of her, so she could not be seen, or even see. She used her byakugan powers to see through Hidan, and she was suddenly extremely nervous as the doorknob slowly turned.

'What if he holds a grudge against me for killing him? Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all…' she thought.

The door opened a fraction to reveal a very suspicious looking Deidra. Sakura silently breathed a sigh of relief as she let go of the technique.

"Why not just barge in instead, HIdan? That's what you always do, un." HIdan's face turned red as he stepped aside and pointed at Sakura.

She insisted on me knocking! She's here to talk to Sasori!" Deidra looked surprised, and the door opened wider to reveal a stoic looking Sasori.

He stared at her intently, and then pushed Deidra out of his room. "You two may leave." It wasn't a question, it was an order.

Three pairs of eyes looked at him in shock and no one moved. Sasori leaned against the door, folded his arms across his chest, and glared at her for taking too long.

"Are you going to make me wait, or are you going to talk from there?" Sakura's eyes widened a fraction, and then she quickly stepped forwards and entered the dimly lit room.

As the door silently closed in Hidan and deidra's faces, they both looked at each other in silent worry and surprise, clearly written on their faces.

"You don't think that they…?" Hidan's voice trailed off

"NO way!" Deidra nearly shouted at him in fury. "Don't forget, HIdan, that she is the one who killed him…he keeps ranting about how he hates her, and how much he wants to kill her. He completely hates her…" Deidra looked at the door.

"Maybe she is scared of him and is trying to make a truce with him?" Hidan had a hopeful look in his eye at the idea of her being afraid of something.


As the two walked away arguing, on the other side of the door the two ninja listened quietly as the two left. When their voices finally disappeared, Sasori looked at Sakura without any expression in his cold dark red eyes.

"well what was it you wanted to talk about?" he asked her stonily. She looked up from the door to him.

"Right. Well as you already know, Konan is going to be testing me tomorrow… but she said there would be a chance that I do not have to be tested if either one of us were to re-enact what happened between us when we battled before." She already had a good idea as to what his answer was going to be.

"As much as I would love to humor you, no." His beautifully lethal voice said with sarcasm. Sakura just closed her eyes and smiled. Reopening them she replied to Sasori.

"Yeah, I knew you would say that….that's why I refused to tell Konan when she asked… Sorry for wasting your precious time." She turned and walked towards the door. She almost reached it when a warm hand grabbed her wrist and none too gently pulled her back to face him. She looked at the wrist and then up into the face of the owner. Shock flew across her face. He smirked at her knowingly.

"What?"

"Don't be surprised kunoichi. It is unbecoming of you. I am in fact immortal….you merely managed to beat one of my puppets that I made to look like myself." Dark humor flashed through his eyes at her reaction. She in turn frowned slightly from his insult, and then to his comment.

"You refused to explain to Konan, why? It involved you as much as it did I." He was confused as to her motives, and that did not please him.

"Exactly." She looked at him in a way that mentioned he should know the obvious. That irked him even further.

"What?" he said stonily.

"It involved you as much as it did me. If she didn't know anything about it, other than you were extremely pissed afterwards, then I didn't have any right to say anything. You obviously wanted to keep it a secret, so I had no reason to interfere with that." She looked at him in all seriousness.

"Why would you do that? I am your enemy."

"You won't be if everything goes well tomorrow. Besides I have never been one to be the tell-tale rat. That's just annoying."

"That doesn't answer my question, kunoichi." He growled, clearly annoyed by now. She merely gave a half hearted shrug.

Even in the dim light that was the moment that Sasori realized two very different things at once.

First, he had obviously underestimated this girl and her sense of self-preservation.

And secondly, The girl was not even hiding the fact that she was hiding something from him.

A sinister smirk, that some would consider cruel, slowly spread across his face. He took a step closer to her, his smile spreading at her discomfort, and leaned towards her ear.

"I believe we can, indeed, come up with a compromise, Kunoichi…" She didn't dare to move. She could feel how irate and annoyed he was. She slowly nodded her head in understanding. He whispered something into her ear, and her eyes widened at his compromise.

"You want me to what?" Her eyes widened slightly and his narrowed down into hers as he stapped away from her.

"Yes or no, Kunoichi…" Sakura sighed in exasperation.

"Fine…deal."

And that was how she sealed her fate. With just two words.
