Chapter 4:

Birds chirped by the side of the window. Tobi slowly opened his eyes and got up. His black hair fell over his black eyes as he slowly got up. He went to the bathroom and washed his face in the bathroom. He looked over at his mask next to him.

"!" He remembered something and quickly ran over to his suitcase and opened it up. He pulled out a small box and opened it. Out of it, he pulled out a picture frame. Inside it was a picture of Tobi and Deidara.

"Almost forgot." Tobi said as he put the picture on the bed stand. He watched it for a while smiling, a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Tobi! Breakfast's ready!" Sakura knocked on the door.

"I'm coming!" Tobi said. He quickly got up, slipped on his mask, pulled on some shorts and a black t-shirt.

"Wow, it looks good!" Tobi said sitting down staring at the home-made breakfast.

"Thanks." Sakura said sitting down.

'I was planning on cereal but with a guest I thought I should make some decent food.' Sakura thought as she picked up her chopsticks and started to ear her rice.

Tobi ate the rice quickly, drank the miso soup and finished the eggs, bacon, and small salad first.

"Was it good?" Sakura asked smiling.

"It was very good!" Tobi said standing up. He picked up his dishes and put them by the sink.

"Thank you Tobi." Sakura said taking a sip of her miso soup. "What're you going to do today?" Sakura asked.

"Tobi will go exploring again!" Tobi said.

"Okay, be back by dinner, got it?" Sakura asked. "Because I'll have a big feast waiting." Sakura rolled up her sleeves and smiled.

"Tobi will be looking forward to the meal!" Tobi said opening the front door.

"Bye!" Sakura waved.

"Bye!" Tobi waved back as he left.

"Maybe a few more brush lines will fix it..." A voice mumbled. A hand whiter than snow swiftly brushed black lines against the snow white paper to create a butterfly fluttering among flowers in merely a few seconds.

"That's pretty!" A voice was heard behind him.

He widened his eyes in shock and turned around. When he saw the orange mask, he relaxed.

"You're the boy that was with Naruto." He said.

"You know Naruto?" Tobi asked.

"Yes I do." He said.

"Oh, well what's your name?" Tobi asked.

"My name is Sai." He said bluntly.

"Do you like to draw?" Tobi asked.

"...Yes." Sai said.

"Tobi wants help from Sai." Tobi said changing the subject in an instant.

"Help?" Sai asked.

"Tobi wants to be loved by everyone in Konoha. So far, Tobi is loved by Naruto and Sakura. Tobi wants more people to love Tobi."

"...So how do you want me to help?" Sai asked.

"Tobi wants Sai to love me." Tobi explained.

"Ah, that would've been clever but there's one problem." Sai said.

"What's that?" Tobi asked curiously.

"I have no feelings." Sai said and smiled.

"Sai has no feelings?" Tobi asked.

"No, no feelings." Sai said. "And no feelings, no love." Sai said.

"Sai doesn't love anyone?" Tobi asked. Sai nodded. Tobi couldn't believe it. What a sad world Sai lived in! Tobi wanted to help him learn to love.

"You know what?" Tobi said.

"?" Sai faced his attention toward Tobi once again.

"I'll help you learn how to love!" Tobi said.

'...Well, I guess this would be an important part of my research.' Sai thought and he nodded.

"Thank you." He said. "I'll accept your offer."

"First," Tobi said. "You need to find a girl that makes you feel good!" (Not in the perverted way, Tobi is speaking people!)

'Girl that makes me feel good...' Sai started to take notes.

Tobi and Sai were walking around Konoha, Sai was writing down everything Tobi said while Tobi looked for a girl that might make Sai happy.

"How about Sakura-san?" Tobi asked pointing at Sakura. She turned around and waved.

"No...She's ugly."

BAM!

Sai went flying across the street and hit the ground on the other side. But miraculously, when he got up he looked just fine. He rubbed the side of his mouth where there was a small mark.

"Who're you calling ugly Sai? You need to learn some manners!" Sakura shouted as she waved her fists up in the air. Many passersby ran away in search of a detour, to get away from Sakura before she killed them too.

"Humph!" Sakura then stomped off in search of Naruto to start her training for the day.

"...Are you okay Sai-san?" Tobi asked as soon as Sakura was out of sight. Sai got up.

"I'm fine." He smiled. "Now, carry on with what you were teaching me." He said and picked his notebook and pencil up from the ground.

"Okay!"

They walked on.

"How about her?" Tobi pointed at an indigo-haired girl who blushed when she noticed Tobi pointing at her.

"...Nah, she has a nice chest but she lacks personality." Sai said. (This is what I think he'd say, and what Sai says isn't necessarily true.)

'Lacking Personality!?' The girl thought and sighed as another thing got added on her 'Things to do to change myself' list.

"Her?" Tobi's finger pointed to a girl with four pig-tails on her head.

"No, she's Shika's girl and she's pretty scary."

Sai got smacked in the face by the girl for saying that she was Shikamaru's boyfriend and for calling her scary.

"Over there?"

"Personality isn't developed enough." (Seriously Kishi, you need to develop her more! It's not fair.)

'Personality not developed? Guys are such jerks.' The girl thought as she sharpened her weapons.

"Tobi, maybe we should give up." Sai said looking at the worn out Tobi still desperately searching for a girl.

"No, Tobi knows that not being loved is a terrible thing. But not being able to love is even worse. So, Tobi will help Sai get out of that dreadful state." Tobi said.

"..." Sai stared at him in awe.

"...Alright, but who else is there?" Sai asked.

"Bye bye Sakura!"

Both boys turned to the female voice and saw a girl with long blonde hair and sapphire eyes. She was standing in front of a flower shop waving to Sakura who was leaving with a bouquet of flowers in her arms.

"She's..." Sai was about to say ugly, but then he stopped. Sure she was ugly, but there was something about her that made him take those words back.

Tobi looked at Sai's face and noticed his cheeks turn a light pink. Tobi smiled and grabbed Sai's hand.

"?" Sai was pulled over to the flower shop by Tobi.

Ino lowered her hand and turned around to prepare to close her shop for the day when she heard two sets of footsteps behind her. She turned around.

'That's Sakura's team mate and some other random guy.' Ino thought looking them over. 'Sakura's team mate is kind of cute.' Ino smirked as a light blush rose on her cheeks too.

"Hello! Can I help you?" Ino said with her business smile that was as fake as Sai's everyday smile. But beneath it, if you looked hard, you could notice she was really smiling from feelings beyond her control.

Tobi stopped Sai right in front of the girl and pulled Sai down so his mouth could reach his ear and whispered something to him.

Sai looked at him questioningly but Tobi urged him to do it.

'Whispering? How rude.' Ino thought as she watched the 2 suspiciously. Then she noticed Sakura's team mate look a little worried.

'Something interesting might happen.' Ino thought smirking.

"Can I buy some flowers?" Sai asked.

"Sure." Ino said letting him in.

"Excuse me, but I have a question." Sai said.

"What is it?" Ino asked. By now, Sai was acting on his own and had totally forgotten what Tobi had told him.

"Which flowers are good for confessing love?" Sai asked.

'Ah, now I know what's happening. This guy has a crush on someone and wants to give them flowers.' Ino thought.

"Roses are always good!" Ino said and smiled. "What color would you like?"

"What color would you like?" Sai asked.

"Me? I would--" Ino stopped when she realized something.

This boy, this boy she had just met for the first time had just asked her out without her even suspecting it. Ino, pro in matters of the heart had just been caught by surprise.

'...Maybe, he's worth a try.' Ino thought smiling a little.

"I like purple." Ino said.

"Okay, I'll get purple." Sai said pulling out some money.

Love is a matter that can no one can ever master.

Even through years of training.

All you can do is go with the flow and see what love throws out you next.

No science, or anything taught or understood by people will ever be able to solve the mysteries of love.

But isn't that a good thing?

It just makes love so much more interesting to take part in.
