Morning came and Sakura hadn't slept a wink. It was only when Sasori had shook Sakura that she was about to fall into a deep sleep. "Wake up," his tone was varied between annoyance and frustration. Sakura's eyes were sullen, rings of black dulling the vibrancy of her emerald colored eyes. She yawned, his tone not dawning on her. She only nodded and stretched out on the floor that she had stepped on. Sakura went into the next room, taking a shower to soothe her muscles and find herself clean once again. A few minutes had passed and finally she got out of the bathroom, in her clothes that were fixed a while back.

Sasori looked at her and then half stuck his nose up in the air walking out of the room. Sakura's brow furrowed up, what did she do? She only shrugged and followed him out. Sakura walked down the dimly lit halls with Sasori in front with unseen clenched fists. Sakura kept to herself, not saying a word and not even making a sound of any sort.

Every now and then he'd look back to see her looking to the ground. "What's your problem," he said a bit smug. She didn't say anything," Oh, so now you're ignoring me?" Sasori scoffed and folded his arms, still walking down the hall with her tagging behind. After a step into the new corridor Sasori came to a brief stop making Sakura walk into his back. She shook her head to the sudden jolt back to reality. Sakura looked at the man that stood in their way, who was he?

Sakura hadn't known or met this man yet. Who was he really? The man looked Sasori in the eyes only to change views to the bubblegum colored haired girl. Sasori knew who he was looking at and found his jaw clenching. "Leader-sama," he said with a fake polite tone. The man nodded and kept starring at Sakura. Sakura only took a few steps back and found that her eyes couldn't stop starring into his. His eyes were sinister, full of hate and a mock type nature yet they were curious and excited. She didn't know why she thought that's what she saw in his eyes but this was indeed what was there. He stared down at her and she up at him, as if the both were having a battle to the end to see who could tell what the other was made of. Quite frankly, she didn't want to know what he was made of nor did she want anything to do with him.

Without taking his eyes away he began," Where are you two headed at this hour of the morning? You weren't assigned to any mission, so where are you headed?" Sasori slightly glared at Leader and his persistence, the leader let it go unnoticed. "Sakura is staying with us for good; we were only headed back to Konoha to have her say her last good byes." Pein broke eye contact with Sakura and stared at Sasori," Now why would an S-class ninja be doing a nice deed for someone, hm?" Sasori had half a mind to throw something at him," No answer?" As he said this his eyes were glued to Sakura's fearful ones. As if a snake was eyeing its prey, this was the so said situation; she was utterly petrified beyond belief.

She didn't know why or how, but she just was. Pein kept his gaze and then walked off down the hall. Sasori looked at Sakura who was frightened by the sight of Pein. A long time had passed and they were in the forest, on their way to Konoha. "Sasori," Sakura said a little hesitant. He only kept on and she knew what it meant," Who was he?" Sasori abruptly stopped, Sakura doing the same. "That's Leader-sama. I don't want you going near him and I mean especially him." Sakura opted to ask why but 

kept quiet and they went on with their venture. It was midnight when they made it to the walls of Konoha. Sakura looked at Sasori who took his place behind her, following her every lead. They made it to the apartments, Sakura walked in with him tagging along. The door shut and the key found its way onto the table next to the door. Sakura walked to the kitchen, beginning to turn on the lights in her apartment.

Sasori only looked about while walking down the hallway only to find himself in Sakura's room. "Sasori," she called out, trying to find him. She walked around and found him in her room. She held back a little frustration when she found him in her room. " I'll be back soon, ok? I'm only saying good bye to two people." Sasori nodded and watched as Sakura crept out her window into the cool night's air. Sasori just plopped on top of the bed, accidentally knocking his foot onto the nightstand next to the bed. He heard a slight crash, as the bottom of the nightstand came to the ground. Sasori sat up and looked to the ground where dust and the bottom of the stand was.

He kneeled down about to pick up the mess when he realized that it happened to be a black diary. Sasori picked it up only to find a picture fall out of it. He looked passed the diary and picked up the picture. He studied the people for the longest time. The picture had three Genin and a Jonnin; it was from what he gathered Sakura's team. Sakura was in the middle of two boys, one with blonde hair and the other with black hair. Sasori studied the boy with black hair; it was like a mini Itachi look-alike. This was Sasuke, Itachi's brother. The Jonnin was in the background of the picture reading an orange book, Sasori knew instantly it was Icha Icha Paradise. He rolled his eyes and looked back at the three. Sakura hand her arms around Sasuke and her lips were on his cheek.

The blonde haired boy was spewing ramen from his nose while Sakura had her lips on Sasuke's blushing cheeks, while the Jonnin was in the background. Sasori laughed and then felt a little jealous, that's what he wanted, her lips on his cheeks. Her lips anywhere on him would put him to cloud nine. Sasori looked down to find more pictures scattered about the floor.

He picked up the next one and found another team picture, but this one was more resent. Sakura was in the middle, once again, but this time between the Jonnin and the blonde, Sasuke was missing. Sasori's brow rose, where was Sasuke in all of this? Funny this was, he didn't even know what or who Sasuke became or even who he was with. Sakura's face bore a smile but it was a fake smile that only covered her broken heart. The blonde was hugging her and the gray haired Jonnin had one hand on her head while the other one held his Icha Icha Paradise in the next that he was reading.

Sasori sighed and looked back to the black diary and then the pictures he held in his hands. Finally he picked up the diary and opened it. He was about to read the first page but promptly closed it, he felt dirty even holding it. He sighed and stuffed the pictures into the diary which he stuffed into his cloak. But it doesn't mean he won't keep it to read later, he's the obsessed puppet master, remember? He looked back at the mess and began his work to put it back together. The more he began to work the more his plans for not coming back with Sakura slipped away. She was to be his, even if it took longer than he expected. He just wanted her heart and he was willing to give her his on a platter if need be. All he wanted was her and only her. She was all he needed and he knew it. It was only a matter of time when he would make her his and only his. He was content with this-
