A/N This chapter is a lot better than the first one, and longer too. Oh, and I forgot to mention that this story is set at the Beginning of Preshippuden, except that Sasori has already fought and killed Chiyo on his own.
Part 2:
Sasori and Kakuzu walked along the pathway towards the Hidden Hot Spring village. The sun was shining and it was pretty humid out. They stopped against a tree to drink some water.
Kakuzu stared at Sasori intently for a few seconds. "I've been meaning to ask this for while."
"Yeah?" replied Sasori,
"Is what I'm looking at your true form?" asked Kakuzu.
"Yeah. I used to always stay inside my Hiruku puppet, but it got destroyed when I fought Chiyo. I decided it would be easier to stay in my true form. So, is what I'm looking at your true form?' asked Sasori.
"I guess not. My true form is a monster. You wouldn't want to see."
"You're not a monster. You're just different, but that doesn't make you a monster." said Sasori.
Kakuzu looked Sasori straight in the eye. "Thank you." Kakuzu smiled.
"Did I just witness Kakuzu smile? Are you feeling alright?" Sasori smiled.
"Oh, shut up." retorted Kakuzu.
"Ya know, you're still smiling?" Sasori grinned.
"You sure look like an idiot when you smile like that." said Kakuzu.
"Not as big as you do." Sasori stood up, and yawned against the tree.
"Baka." Kakuzu jokingly punched Sasori in the arm. "C'mon, let's get going."
"You didn't even harden your arm. Kakuzu, you're getting soft."
"Shut it, baka." Kakuzu was stilling grinning softly.
They continued walking along the path. The hot sun continued to bear down heavily on Sasori's face. He wasn't used to being all exposed like this; he was normally inside his puppet, hidden from the skies. It make his puppet body feel moist.
"It's so hot out. How do you stay cool in that? Your whole body is covered except your eye.
"I don't know. I just am. It's weird, I never get hot in the sun, even when I dress like this.
"Oh. Hey, Kakuzu, can I ask you something?" asked Sasori.
"Yeah?"
"How far are we from the village?" he asked.
"We'll be there in about 2 days if we keep up our pace." Kakuzu replied.
"Alright." replied Sasori.
Soon it became dark, and the pair found a nearby hotel to spend the night in. The Hotel La Sweet Side was home to bathing houses, gourmet breakfast services, and it's own swimming pool for those who aren't a fan of the bathing house. It costs about seven hundred a night, but then again, Pain agreed that no expense should be spared for the Akatsuki. And on top of that they were only staying there tonight and once more on the way back.
Sasori and Kakuzu opened the door and walked in. A large waterfall stood straight ahead from their view. The place had stone flooring and walls, and there was a slate feature on the wall behind the waterfall. Even the ceiling was decorated with copper tile. There were two large staircases on either side of the waterfall. There was a checkout counter and luggage carts to their left, and bathrooms to their right. A woman in a blazer and skirt walked over to them from behind the counter.
"Welcome to the Hotel La Sweet Side! My name is Naomi Destuka, I'm a personal servant for our guests. If you ever need anything, ring the button inside your room and I will come as soon as I can." The woman said. She looked down at her clipboard. "You must be Sasori and Kakuzu. A pleasure to meet you, no doubt! Follow me, I'll give you a quick tour of the hotel."
She led them to the waterfall. "This was built by the hotel founder. It's my favorite spot in the entire place. I just love sitting her after my shift and listening to the sound of the water."
She gestured for them to follow, and she walked to the right side of the fall. "This is the entrance to the breakfast room. She opened the door.
A large stone fireplace with couches surrounding it filled the left side of the room, and on the right there are tables and chairs to eat at. In the back there are counters and cabinets to get your food from.
"As you can see, there isn't any food prepared for anyone, we serve it only at breakfast, but you're welcome to come and relax by the fireplace anytime. Now, let's go find the swimming and hot spring houses." said Naomi.
She led them out of the breakfast room and into to a door in between the men's and women's' bathrooms. It led into a hallway with two doors.
"On your right is the swimming pool, and on your left is the hot spring. We don't show them on the tour, but you are welcome to them anytime. Now, let's go find your rooms. Naomi led Sasori and Kakuzu up the stairs all the way the tenth and final floor.
"Your room is the last one down the hall on the left. Here are your room keys. If you need anything press the button next to the door, alright?" she said.
"Okay. Thank you." said Sasori.
"Yeah." Kakuzu nodded.
"Well, have a nice evening!" she said, as she walked back down the stairs.
Sasori unlocked the door and walked in.
"Holy shit…" they both said at the same time. Their room was absolutely luxurious. On back wall there was slate stone covering the wall. The other walls were covered in wallpaper, including the ceiling. The door was on their far right, so to their left was a mini fridge, sink, coffeemaker, and other small appliances. To the right of those is a large fireplace, couches, and a flat screen TV. Two four-poster beds are on the stone feature wall.
There was a dresser on their right, and all the way down by the beds was the door leading to the bathroom. All the walls, ceiling, and floor are covered in slate tile. The bathroom included two vanity sinks, a toilet (no shit) a bathtub with dozens of jets, and a walk in tiled shower.
Sasori walked over to one of the beds and laid down on it. "This hotel is fucking awesome."
"You said it." said Kakuzu.
