An: One more chapter~
Yuzuki suddenly opened her eyes before pushing Sasori away and hopping off the small bed "Ah...gross" She groaned, seeing as apparently the antidote and poison mixed in her stomach were not settling well. She went outside of the room to get ready for the long day ahead, stopping occasionally because of a sharp pain either in her chest or her stomach. "God damn it..." She whimpered while closing her cloak as it unfortunately brushed against the slash across her chest. And, of-course, she wasn't wearing her normal rough, slightly scratchy shirt for the very same reason. Gritting her teeth, she made her way towards the kitchen, shying away from many of the members' looks.
Tobi bounced into the room, promptly tackle-hugging the injured Akatsuki member. "Ack! Tobi! don't do that!" Zetsu's white side yelled frantically. the masked man quickly let go and Yuzuki bit down on her own finger to keep quiet while moving to a sitting position on the floor. "Oh no! Did Tobi hurt Yuzu-chan?!" Tobi screeched. "N-no. Not at all" Yuzuki growled, standing up with gritted teeth and watery eyes.
"Yuzuki...is something wrong?" Sasori asked, having just walked in to the room. "No, I'm fine" Yuzuki responded quickly; cold, bored disposition coming back. "Non-sense" Sasori said, crossing his arms. "Akasuna, I'm fine" Yuzuki said more sternly before turning, taking something out of the fridge and then turning to leave again. "Tell me what's wrong" Sasori demanded quietly, gripping the Kunoichi's wrist. "Let me go" "Woah! when did you get so interested, Akasuna?!" Hidan yelled mockingly. Sasori let go of Yuzuki's wrist only to try to beat the crap out of Hidan while hiding a very, very, very small blush.
Yuzuki took the opportunity to swallow whatever she had taken out of the fridge and attempt to leave. She looked down and winced, seeing the blood stain spreading through the bandages and her shirt to her cloak, which was now stuck to her shirt by the red liquid. Yuzuki tried to keep walking, only to realize she couldn't. Remembering the many spars between herself and Sasori, she remained still; otherwise the strings would tangle and cut into any exposed skin, that and the possible bonus of face-planting in front of everyone.
A look back confirmed that there were, in fact, chakra strings binding Yuzuki. "Stop this, if you want an answer, doing this won't work at all" Yuzuki growled, relishing the second the strings disappeared. Most members snickered as Sasori followed Yuzuki outside, Kisame chuckling something that sounded like "Who bets they'll be together by tonight?".
"Do you need anything?" Yuzuki asked more kindly than she had spoken five minutes ago. "I just asked what was wrong, and I don't believe your answer, seeing as your cloak is stained with what looks like blood over your chest" "Damn it, fine. Tobi tackle-hugged me and he was a bit to rough, okay? Okay" Yuzuki hissed sarcastically, missing the scorpion's enraged look. "Tobi did it?" Sasori's voice grew eeriely emotionless compared to a while ago. "Now, there's no need to over react, Akasuna" Yuzuki said nervously as Sasori was about to storm inside.
"Alright, if you say so...I almost forgot, Leader wants to talk to you" Sasori informed, having calmed down. "Thank you for telling me. Anyway, do you happen to have any painkillers?" Yuzuki asked "I do, but they could react negatively with the antidotes you drank" "Well that sucks" Yuzuki said, pouting very uncharacteristically. "Sorry then" Sasori shrugged. "Hey...um...Akasuna? I honestly apologize for everything that happened yesterday" Yuzuki muttered unsurely. "Everything...?" Sasori asked a bit sadly. "Yeah...why...? Oh, that...I don't know...should I be...?" Yuzuki tilted her head to the right innocently.
"...No, but...did you mean everything you said?" The red-headed puppet master asked slowly. "Of-course, but does it bother you?" Yuzuki nodded with a very small smile. "No" Sasori quickly replied. "So...uh...is that it?" Yuzuki asked, getting ready to go to Pein's office and then just go to her room for the rest of the day. "No. There's one last thing" Sasori stated, walking over to the kunoichi. "Sasori, what are yo-" Yuzuki was cut off by said Akatsuki member who got way too close to be an accident.
Yuzuki stared, wide-eyed as the puppet master's breath ghosted over her lips. Sasori raised his hand to tuck Yuzuki's white, side-swept bangs behind her ear. Both of their foreheads almost touched for a second until Sasori, getting impatient put his hands on the sides of Yuzuki's face and brushed his lips against the Kunoichi's.
Yuzuki looped her arms around the other's neck before deepening the kiss. The white-haired kunoichi's hand moved to the other's shoulder blade as Sasori's hand rested on her hip. Sasori pulled away, panting slightly as did Yuzuki. "Don't leave" Yuzuki pleaded, grabbing onto Sasori's wrist. Yuzuki pulled the scorpion back and kissed him again, before dragging him inside the base.
