AKITA POV!

The wind that tunneled through the streets of Sunagakure blew roughly against my face as Kentaro and I walked slowly down the side of the road together. This place was just beautiful, the tall sandy colored buildings, the way all the streets led to the Kazekage building, it was an architectural masterpiece. It was quite difficult to believe that only 10 years ago this beautifully build city was reduced to rubble by my own home village.

As I continued to walk I looked around I looked at all the children with their parents, none of these children where over the age of 10 and the next people that where older than them where in their twenties. There was a massive age gap between them, like a whole generation was just removed, there were no teenagers.

This fact had been disturbing me ever since I had arrived here a few days ago. I didn't want to think about it although the truth was that I had taught most of the Suna kids that where victims to the kidnapping when I was still living in Konoha.

"Akita?" I faintly heard Kentaro's voice calling out to me as I realized that when I had drifted back into my own world I had also drifted a few steps behind him.

I quickly walked back to my Husbands side "Sorry, I was just looking at the buildings" I said as I let the subject drop from my mind as I tried my best to focus on what was in front of me.

I opened my shopping bag that I held in my left hand and looked down at all the presents that we had already bought.

"Alright" I said before Kentaro could ask we what I was really thinking about "we still need to buy presents for Kioni, Sasori and your mother "

We continued to walked together down the dusty roads of Suna that where lined with many shops. I sighed, this wouldn't be fun, Kioni was exceptionally picky when it came to presents, Kentaro's mother we didn't see often (not to mention that I barely knew her) and Sasori never really spoke much about what he liked, this would be a challenge.

Suddenly Kentaro stopped walking and paused to look in the window of an antique looking shop

"Hey" he said as he stared into the window "Doesn't Sasori have a thing for making these dolls?" he asked.

I turned around to look at what my husband was looking at. The old shop window displayed many finely crafted wooden puppets with their strings tightly bound to their backs. They looked a little scary although beautiful in the same way.

"Let's go take a look" I said happily as I moved around to the small door to the left side of the window and walked into the Puppet shop.

Inside the dimly lit shop hundreds of puppets where mounted up onto the walls staring down at you. It was a little creepy thinking about how many eyes were staring at you now. I had never really been a fan of Dolls although at least we had finally found the perfect present for Sasori.

Sasori had been living with us for almost 3 months now and had already become such a big part of our family. A while ago I was worried about Deidara, he seemed pretty anti social and only really had one good friend that he didn't even like. But now since Sasori came, they had become best friends that where rarely seen apart. I guess it was good for both of them.

That's why Kentaro and I had been discussing adopting him; Kentaro had been reluctant at first although I think I had finally convinced him that it was a good idea. That's why I was so happy to have finally found the perfect gift; I wanted to get him something special.

We walked up to the counter to an old woman who had her fine gray hair tied in a bun on top of her head.

She smiled at us "Hi how can I help you?" she said kindly.

"Hi, were looking for something to give our foster child" I said smiling back at her.

Suddenly she ducked down behind the counter and began to rummage around through the cabinets behind the counter slowly muttering words to herself as she looked for something in particular.

"Ahh here we go" she finally said and reappeared at the counter placing a finely crafted box on the counter.

She lifted the lid revealing a beautifully crafted puppet that was even nicer than the ones displayed outside. This puppet resembled a girl with red hair tied into buns. She was dressed in a white robe with two swords lying next to her. (1)

"It's amazing" I said looking over at Kentaro who seemed to agree "we'll take it"

The woman closed the box and looked up at us again "would you like to have the box engraved?" she asked

"Alright, the name is Sasori Akasuna"

Suddenly the box with the beautiful puppet in it crashed to the floor as the woman's eyes stared up at us with disbelief.

"Are you alright?" I asked genuinely worried

This time she disappeared into the back room only to re appear seconds later holding a delicate looking photo frame in her shaking hands. She placed it on the table and slid it towards us.

My heart froze over as I stared at the old photograph in the frame. I could feel Kentaro shocked with the same disbelief I was overcome by.

In the frame there were four people. One was the Shop owner looking a lot younger than she did now and the second and third where two adults I had never seen before. The fourth was a child about 5 years old with bright red hair and chocolaty brown eyes. He stood there in the middle of the other 3 adults smiling with one of his front teeth missing wearing a Sunagakure headband, the type you got when you entered your first day at school to show your membership of your village.

There was no doubt in my mind; the boy in the photo was the same boy I had been asked to take care of.

I was too shocked for words although Kentaro said exactly what I wanted to "what is this supposed to mean?" He said, his voice slightly faltering.

"That boy is my grandson."
