Konan's POV

She worked pretty slow but still she was doing fine. "Hey Ino" Sakura said. "Yeah?" Ino replied. "Did you get Gaara anything for Christmas?" Sakura said turning her head to her friend.

"Aw crap!" Ino yelled and rushed out the door. "Thats Ino for ya" Sakura mumbled. I quietly opened the bed room window and climbed in.

" Sasori?" Sakura said. "Nope" I said quietly and stood in the middle of the room. Sakura turned around and looked at me.

"Hello Sakura Haruno" I said as politely as I could at the moment. "Who are you?" Sakura said.

"I am Konan and I'm from the Akatsuki" I said. "Akatsuki?" Sakura asked. "A S-rank criminal organization" I said.

"But I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to warn you" I finished. "Warn me about what?" Sakura asked.

"Well Nagoto believes you are threat to use so he wants you killed, by Sasori" I answered.

"What! Sasori can't kill me!" Sakura yelled out of her seat. "I will try to reason with Nagoto about it" I said.

"Okay I'll agree as long as I don't get killed" Sakura said clamming down a bit. "I suppose I should leave now" I said and turned away.

" Sasori will love those puppets you made him" I said and left...

Sakura's POV

'She saw me making his presents' I thought. 'Well she better not tell him' Suddenly I heard panting down the hall way.

It was Ino. "I got Gaara his present" Ino panted out. Ino pulled out a very long light purple ribbon from the bag.

"I'm gonna need you to wrap me in this" Ino said. "What?" I said back confused. " I'm gonna give him me so I have to be wrapped." Ino said.

"Uh Okay" I replied. I slowly wrapped the ribbon around her until it was all gone. "Ino are sure you just don't want to buy him a present?" I asked.

"Well when I got to the store I remembered I only had five dollars and the only thing that was five dollars was this ribbon" Ino said.

"Ino you could of asked me to give you some money" I said. "Well now its to late!" Ino yelled.

Ehh. "Uh Sakura?" Ino said. "Yeah?" I answered. "I need some food" Ino replied. I got up and went to the kitchen.

I picked up an apple and walked back to the room. I stuffed the apple in Ino's mouth and watched her try to eat it.

Then I turned my attention to my unfinished puppet. I sat down and started working again.

By the time I was finished it was 12:09 a.m. I looked at Ino who was asleep on the floor and a half eaten apple next to her.
