Sasori's POV
I noticed Kurenai immediately. She looked like she was waiting for something. Then it hit me. 'She's going to catch Maro while we fight!' I realized. Unfortunately, Orochimaru noticed her too. He pushed me back and ran at her. "Damnit. Stop him!!" I yelled,getting to my feet. Konan left Kabuto to Kisame and moved to block Orochimaru. He pushed her aside and kept running. Konan was on her feet again by the time I reached her and she leapt on Orochimaru's back while I dived for his feet. Konan kept her arm wrapped firmly around his mouth,preventing the disgusting use of his tongue. Kurenai briefly glanced at us and then turned back to waiting. "Kisame. When!?" I yelled back. "Soon." he replied. And only seconds later,there was Maro. As she fell over the falls,Kurenai reached out and grabbed her hands. "Yes!!" Kisame cheered. Kabuto soared past us, and prepared to cut the rope. "No!!" Kurenai yelled as he succeeded. She and Maro started the long fall to the bottom of the falls. "Maro!!!!" Konan yelled. Maro and Kurenai were suddenly surrounded by a purple chakra. Unlike before,Maro didn't morph. Instead her wounds healed and the chakra swirled around her,ending up as wings. The two of them floated inches above the water. Kurenai released her motherly death grip on Maro and landed on the water's surface. And it was then I noticed the resemblance between Maro and Kurenai. Thinking back,there was a resemblance between Kurenai and Maro's mother. It couldn't be! Or could it?
Regular POV
Kurenai turned to Maro. "Kick his ass." she said. Maro flew forward. Nervously,Kabuto backed up as Maro flew up into the sky,coming back with a vengeance. She decked Kabuto and he flew back a good 50 feet. She focused on Orochimaru next. Konan and Sasori wisely got out of the way as she flew full force at him. Orochimaru caught her fist but he didn't see her other one come up in an uppercut. He flew back like Kabuto but Maro grabbed the front of his shirt and started in on his face with a series of fast kicks and punches. You could practically hear every THWACK!! when she connected with his face. "Go Maro!!" Kisame cheered. Kurenai rushed forward. "Maro! That's enough!" she yelled. Maro's fist froze in midair. Like someone had just pressed pause on a remote. "Orochimaru. Admit to your past crimes of kidnapping,murder,and illegal research and turn yourself in. If not, I can't promise my niece will be nice." Kurenai said. She smiled. "Niece?" Kakuzu asked. He glanced at Sasori,who shook his head. Sasuke watched Maro. "Maro. You wouldn't hurt Lord Orochimaru would you?" he asked weakly. Maro tensed. "Sasuke Uchiha. I have this to say. Sakura is waiting for you." Kurenai announced. She turned to Sasori. "I can't take the best care of Maro right now but I'm sure you'll make her happy enough." she said. Sasuke shot to his feet and ran. Maro was so focused on him that Kabuto was able to grab Orochimaru and both vanished. "No" Maro growled. Sasori whistled and Maro turned to him. Her eyes,which had been going red, cleared. "Donna!!!" she cried running to him. All signs of the chakra wings vanished. Kurenai smiled sadly. "Keep this a secret." she ordered indicating the fact that she and Maro were related. Sasori nodded as Maro hugged him. "Deal." he agreed. "But.....wait...hey."Kisame stuttered as Kurenai walked away. Sasori turned to him. "What's the problem Kisame? It's just a Leaf shinobi." he said,leading Maro away.
Maro's POV
Ino gave me a full examination as soon as I walked in with Sasori. "Okay. She's alright." she declared. I smiled. "Thank you." I said. Konan limped in behind us. "I'll handle Konan. You guys go... make out." Ino ordered. I turned to Sasori. He gave me a smile. "Thank you Donna." I said. "Just don't go hanging off anymore buildings. Okay?" he asked. "I don't plan to." I assured him. He smiled again and leaned towards me. That's when we noticed half the Akatsuki watching us,cameras ready. "Do you mind?" Sasori asked. "Not really." Hidan replied. Sasori shook his head and kissed me.
Sasori's POV
I walked to my room in a better mood than I usually was. Maro was on my bed again sleeping. I sighed. "Wonderful." I laughed. One of her eyes popped open. "Donna!" she cheered. I kneeled beside her. "Do I have any hope of getting my bed tonight?" I asked. Maro shook her head. "I like your scent better than anyone else's. Except Pein's. He always smells like roses." she said. "I don't know whether to be creeped out by that or not. But it makes great blackmail material. Now up." I ordered,picking Maro up. "No!!!!!" she squealed as I carried her to Konan's room. Konan looked up as I entered. "I see she tried to take your bed again." Konan laughed. "Ha ha. Not." I said,setting Maro on her bed. She moved to get up but I pointed my finger squarely at her. "Stay." I ordered. She sat and looked up at me,smiling. Suspecting nothing,I turned to go. "Tackle No Jutsu!!" Maro yelled,tackling me. "Maro!" I yelled as she scampered out the door and down the hall. By the time I got up and made my way to the hall, my bedroom door was slamming and I heard a faint 'CLICK' announcing the fact that she had just locked me out of my bedroom. I sighed tiredly. Hidan patted me on the shoulder. "I know you're tired but..ah hell. YOU GOT SERVED!!!!" he laughed.
