An Eternal Explosion

T e n

I apologize for the wait, but I've been sick for a while and so it's been difficult for me to focus on things. The chapter is a bit smaller than what I normally write but I couldn't really write much more. I'm sorry and I hope I can make it up to you guys!

Thanks so much for reading!

"You're doing it wrong."

"What's so wrong about it, hm?"

"It's supposed to look like this, brat."

"Well maybe I wanted to make it my own. Hm!"

Sasori scoffed before reaching forward to fix the puppet. "No!" He stopped and looked down, rather unamused, to my pouting face.

"I like it, hm." I whined. The redheaded puppet simply sighed. He seemed to do that a lot lately.

"Fine." He muttered causing a smile to light up across my face and wrap my arms around him.

"Thank you, Sasori-Danna!"

"Whatever, brat."

Sasori had kept his promise of teaching me how to make his puppets. Although I still didn't think art was eternal, I had developed a larger sense of respect for his art which he had also developed for mine. But it was unlikely I'd live to see the day he asked me to show him my art. I seriously doubt it.

My leg and hands had finally healed, but I hadn't been on any missions yet. I'd spent my recovery days hanging out with whoever was at the base. Even Pein agreed to spend the day with me once! Yeah, I think he hates me now though...but Sasori kept on glaring at everyone else whenever he came back from missions more than usual.

Well, not Konan though...

Or Deidara...

Maybe the others messed with his puppets or something? He's especially edgy around Hidan though, oh and Itachi seems to be getting on his nerves ever since he brought me back some dango the other day. Hm.

We're still keeping up our hating each other act, which can be a bit difficult, but I know my brother. There's no way he'd accept it, I was afraid to tell him. Also, Pein may not want relationships in the Akatsuki. We had to keep it a secret, or I'd lose him. I can't lose him.

Sasori twitched a finger slightly before the puppet rose up. I shifted slightly from my position on his lap so he could see better before his arms reached out in front of me.

"See? It's fine!"

My gaze turned back to face him slightly. He raised an eyebrow, staring at the puppet rather doubtfully before shaking it's head.

"Deimara, you can't leave those out." He stated.

"Yes I can, hm!" I protested.

Sasori simply scoffed before the puppet floated over towards the table. It collapsed limply before he moved me over to one side and leaned forward grabbing the tools.

"Danna, don't!" I pleaded.

Sasori furrowed his eyebrows before looking back at me with a frown. His eyes bore into mine before looking back to the puppet and picking up the tool.

"No, hm!"

"It has to have eyes, brat!"

"No, it doesn't!"

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."
