Kyoko: So after hours of procrastinating, literally squealing at pictures of Gaara and Sasuke, and reading somewhat dirty fanfics, I decided to finally finish this chapter and post it. Enjoy it, read it, and then kindly review. Thank you loves.

-----------------------------------------------

Sasori sat in a quaint little tea shop in the small town where he was waiting, his plan was simply perfect, show himself in his Akatsuki robes for a brief moment and then who ever saw him would go tell Konoha and then Konoha would send some ninja too investigate. He had hoped that the Hokage would send Hinata, it was wishful thinking but why not? It couldn't hurt. He had heard that she became an Anbu member, but if the drunkard didn't send Hinata he would simply kill one of the investigative nin and transform into that nin and then sneak into Konoha, simply perfect, granted he could get into Konoha without this hassle but he knew that rumors of an Akatsuki member near Konoha would definitely bring thoughts of him to his princesses head and he absolutely loved the idea of her thinking about him.

Sasori tapped his fingers to the table he sat at, drumming a little annoying rhythm, which caused people to give him disapproving glances which caused him to give them menacing glares, which then caused them to look away, clearly frightened. Sasori really was quite the impatient person, and his hime always made him wait, she really was the only person he would ever wait for, yes Hyuuga Hinata was that important, that precious. Any other person that made him wait would have to answer to his death bringers aka his deadly oh so artistic puppets.

Sasori sighed; honestly it doesn't take that long to get to this small town, so hurry it up.

The Anbu members stopped in a dark alley way in the town that was said to have an Akatsuki member in it, shadows loomed over them as their Capatin went through several simple plans in her head, she paced the alley way, seeming to not be able to think, but how could she think of plans when the love of her life could be just a few miles or even feet away from her, she sighed and shook her head, trying to rid herself of the puppet master long enough to tell them her team the plan.

"Kiba. Shino." She addressed them with a soft yet stern voice.

"Yes Captain?" they replied, turning their Anbu masked heads towards the only female.

"Kiba, go get us disguises, we can't possibly walk around the city in Anbu uniforms, that would cause suspicion. Shino, scout out the area for a brief moment, Akamaru will stay here with me as he his a large dog and people will take notice of him." she said to them as she idly leaned against the cool stone wall of the alley, "Also Kiba, maybe you should transform Akamaru into a cat or something." She added as an after thought.

"Hai." was the only word that came from her teams mouths as in puffs of smoke, they disappeared.

Hinata absentmindedly petted the white dog on his head as she waited, feeling quite uneasy and rather nervous.

Sasori-kun, are you here? Are you waiting? Sasori…

In Hinata's perspective it could have been hours, the waiting she did until her team came back. Shino's report was short and boring, obviously saying that so far there was nothing odd about the town, so far. Kiba brought them each some clothes like requested and they all turned their backs on each other so they could change.

"Hmm, you did well this time Kiba." stated Hinata as she looked herself over.

She was wearing a short pale green yukata that cut off a few inches above her knees, a golden petal-like pattern danced its way from her upper right shoulder all the way down to the bottom, creating a lovely looking rain of golden petals. The sash around her waist that kept it in place was also golden with pale green tips. The outfit complimented her figure quite nicely. To finish it off Hinata undid the loose ponytail that held her long dark indigo locks together and put her hair half up, two deep brown chopsticks holding her hair in place instead of the hair tie.

"Yeah, I do think I did a good job this time." replied Kiba, grinning as he turned around, flaunting his new attire.

The Inuzuka wore a casual black mens yukata, though it was simple it looked fairly good on the brown haired boy. Shino's outfit was much the same only his was a shade of deep olive green.

"Well boys, now that we're ready, let's split up and investigate…"

"Hai Capatin."

Another puff of smoke. Gone. Alone.

Hinata put on a somewhat determined face and then stepped out of the dark alley into the gleaming sun.

Sasori-kun, I'm coming.

The red-headed Akatsuki member was now wandering the streets of the smallish town aimlessly, he got bored at the tea shop and decided to explore, though their really wasn't much to explore or look at for that matter, nothing was artistic, nothing was beautiful, nothing deserved his attention what so ever. In fact, he kind of wanted to see this dull town go up in flames, and then maybe he'd find the town lovely to some extent.

Until his eyes found themselves gazing at a beautifully familiar girl, an extravagantly pretty girl, realization hit him, his heart seemed to be pounding within his chest, a longing sensation burst through his body.

Hinata-hime…

If you don't know what hime means you should get smacked. Just kidding, of course...

Now, I shall update whenever, I have some ideas for the next chapter but I remain undecided. If you my dears know of any other wonderful HinaSaso stories please inform me of them. I would love to read them. Now begone and review.

And before I forget, thank you oh so very much for the kind reviews, they do wonders to my small ego. :)

One more thing, didn't you just adore how boring this chapter was? Sorry if I disappointed you, I tend to do that.
