Hello! I hope everyone had a good day (or night) so far!

Please enjoy the new chapter!

*********************

Rin woke up to more snoring - but it came from on top of her head this time. Red locks dangled in front of her.

Did we both fall asleep like this? Oh my...

Rubbing her eyes, she felt her arm brush by something slick. Eww, yuck.

"Oh, goodness," she whispered, stifling her bubbling laughter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sasori woke up and immediately detached himself from Rin's head. He turned away from her.

"Morning, Sasori!" The cheerful chirp greeted him once more. He turned bright red. "Or should I say... Tomato?" The puppeteer shot a friendly glare at the medic. She held a strand of soggy hair up.

Uh oh.

"Sasori, you know..." Rin began, her eyes teasing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rin could not help but laugh at Sasori's horrified expression.

"Don't say it," he warned.

"...You drool." He turned a shade redder, so she felt the obligation to give him a hug. "It's okay~!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The redhead glanced back at her sheepishly.

"Sorry." She laughed, and the bright sound rung in his ears, lifting his embarrassment - one higher level. Nonetheless, the airy, tinkering sound was something Sasori knew he would not mind hearing in the morning.

"Take it easy, Tomato. It really is okay." Yet, the teasing gleam remained in her chocolate orbs.

"Hmph."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, knock it off already!" Rin laughed. "How was sleep?"

"Decent for the second time in 2 years."

"Whoa!" She giggled. "Maybe it was the shark."

"No, it wasn't."

"It wasn't?" She watched the redhead turn red.

"...No."

"What was it, then?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sasori said nothing.

This conversation just took an awkward turn. She probably knows why anyways. Screw Rin and her playful personality. I like it too much.

"You know what? Sometimes you deserve a hug, and sometimes I really wanna kill you," he told her.

"Same goes for you," she replied airily, missing no beats.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rin watched Sasori fluster, amused. She chuckled, knowing that he would die of embarrassment if she kept the conversation going like that any longer.

"Well, we should leave soon," she said.

"No, not yet."

Surprised, Rin grew alert.

"...Is someone outside or something?" She scanned the clearing for chakra signatures and traps.

"No, it's just..." Sasori rummaged through his pant pocket. "Ah."
