Maro's POV
Before I knew it two months had passed by. No sign of Orochimaru or Sasuke. And no Kyuubi or Naruto. How I missed them. But Akatsuki filled in the emptiness for me. I watched Deidara mold some of his clay into a sculpture. Of Ino. She sat on the couch,reading a book. Glancing over,she laughed. "Sure Deidara. What every girl wants is their explosions master boyfriend to mold a bomb of them." Ino teased. I laughed. Deidara smiled. "Yes. It is every girl's dream. How did you know?Un?" he teased. This made us laugh even harder. "Where's Sasori?" I asked. Normally he was sitting in his chair. And then he was at the door. "Deidara. We've got work to do." he grumbled. "Okay. Un!" Deidara said. He kissed Ino and scampered after Sasori. "Good luck!" I yelled after them.
Regular POV
(This is just Gaara's capture. Must we go through it) Kankuro ran after the Akatsuki cloaks flapping in the distance. 'Must stop them. Can't let them take Gaara.'
Sasori's POV
Deidara followed me into the hideout,dragging the Kazekage. Maro was waiting by the door. "Donna!!" she greeted. Gaara woke up. "What's going on?" he asked. I turned to Deidara. "Chill un. I got this." he said looking around. He grabbed a candlestick and bopped Gaara into unconsciousness again. "What's going on?" Maro asked,suspiciously. "Pein's orders." I replied. "Pee wee?" Maro asked. "Stop calling me that!!" Pein yelled. I snickered. "Good name." I whispered. Deidara dragged Gaara away. "Maro. Don't worry about a thing. He won't be hurt." I lied. She looked up at me. She was naturally one of those people you feel bad about lying to. How did Orochimaru manage to do so well? "Go stay with Ino." I instructed. She started down the hall and turned. "I know you're lying. Just promise you'll come back." she said. I nodded. "I swear." I promised.
Maro's POV
(days later) I ran over the rocks,followed by Zetsu and Tobi. "Sempai! Are you here?" Tobi yelled. I looked around . I didn't see Sasori or Deidara. I turned to Tobi and Zetsu. "Go find Deidara. I'll stay here and look for Sasori." I suggested. Zetsu disappeared into the ground. "Wait!!" Tobi cried running out of the cave. I followed Sasori's scent until I found him. "Donna?" I gasped, pushing the two puppets off him. "Donna?Sasori!Answer me!!" I ordered,crying. He didn't move. "Come on Donna. You promised me you'd come back. You swore." I sobbed. Naru materialized next to me. "Maro. He's gone." she whispered. "No! Sasori. Get up! Get up NOW!!" I yelled. Purple chakra surrounded us. "Don't strain yourself." Naru ordered. I ignored her and focused on Sasori. "Come on Donna. Wake up." I sobbed.
Sasori's POV
I opened my eyes,seeing stars. Beside me was Maro. "Maro." I whispered,shaking her. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at me. "Donna. You're alive." she said,relieved. I suddenly remembered Grandma Chiyo using my first puppets against me. How ,as soon as I got close enough to kill her and that damn Sakura, she used the puppets to kill me. "But how?" I asked. Maro smiled. "I used my chakra to save you." she replied. "We need to get back to Akatsuki." I said hurriedly. "Wait Donna!" Maro said. I turned back to her. "Yes?" I asked. She sighed. "I don't think we should go back." she whispered. I stood up,pulling her with me. "Alright. We'll go into hiding." I declared. Maro hugged me. "Thank you. Donna." she sobbed.
Regular POC
"Missing?" Pein asked. Zetsu nodded. "Maro told us to leave Sasori to her and when we came back to get her she was gone. All that was left was her cloak,Sasori's cloak,and both their rings." Zetsu said,handing the rings to Pein. Konan smiled and shook her head. "Well no point in looking for them. Their jutsus are different than anyone else's. No worries there. And if they are alive Maro's too sweet to betray us and Sasori wouldn't upset her. We're still safe." she reasoned. Pein nodded his agreement. "Alright. Mark Sasori as dead. Because as far as I'm concerned he is."
Maro's POV
I ran up to Kurenai and stopped. "I'm not dead. If Akatsuki or anyone tells you I am, they're lying." I said. "Maro. What are you talking about?" Kurenai asked. I smiled. "I'm leaving Akatsuki with Sasori. We're going into hiding until Akatsuki is over and Orochimaru is gone." I told her. She nodded. "Alright. I'll be sure to remember. And Maro. Don't be a stranger. This village is as much yours as it is Naruto's." she said with a smile. "Aunt Kurenai. Please tell Naruto and Kiba I'll miss them. Just leave out the in hiding part." I laughed sadly. Kurenai smiled. "Alright Maro. Just be safe." she said. "I will. I have Donna to protect me." I reminded her. She nodded. "He loves you." she remarked. "And I love him."
