Chapter 35 ~ Recliners and Boys

Hello, readers! I just have to say thank you for supporting my book for so long! It's been great knowing that there are people out there enjoying it. Thanks a whole ton!

"Give it... up... Rin," he breathed.

"What kind of idiot are you?" She gasped at the blood spilling down his lips as the redhead coughed, shaking violently.

"Your average idiot... who is head over heels... in love."

"What's your problem?" she grumbled. 

"I have... a lot... of problems." His copper eyes lit up ever so slightly at the kunoichi's blush. 

Rin's eyes flashed. Specks of silver appeared in them.

And she saw it.

The metal.

"Wh-What's this...?" she whispered. "It's as if..."

"I... honestly have no... clue."

"It's metal... Your blood, your chakra... It's all been contaminated with metal!"

"It's okay."

Angry tears pooled in her chocolate orbs.

"How can you say that? There's a way to fix it! It's not too late yet! How can you just give up?"

"I'm not... It's not... I'm just... being..." He coughed, sending a spout of blood gushing onto his already-stained clothes. Some splattered across Rin's face. "Just being... reasonable."

"No." The kunoichi's eyes were shadowed. "I can fix this."

"Just how... do you think...? My entire body... you said it... yourself... Contaminated..."

"I never said I had no means to fix it! You're going to be okay! Look, I... I have a Kekkei Genkai, alright? I can do this. Just... trust me, okay?"

"You're... wasting time, Rin..." Her eyes grew wide. The smallest of smiles formed on the redhead's face. "...I'll die if... you... don't hurry... I'm counting... on you."

Rin gaped at him.

The sense of urgency reclaimed her as Sasori grew limp in her arms. She closed her eyes briefly.

"Good grief."

18 hours later, Rin felt safe enough to leave the surgery room (which had been set up once more for Rin from when Harumi had used it).

Itachi stabled her as she stumbled backwards.

"You push yourself too hard," he murmured.

"Thanks for helping," she replied with a weary grin. "Surgery... successful."

One week later... 

Rin sat back against the recliner Nagato had recently bought for himself, sighing contently. From the side, at his desk working once again, the Akatsuki leader glared at her. 

"That's my chair," he whined. 

Rin grinned at him. 

"Who made you boss?" he protested again. 

"She always was the boss, Nagato," Konan said, sauntering up to the redhead and kissing him. 

For a minute, they were locked together. 

"I'm getting just a little grossed out," Rin murmured uncertainly, debating whether or not to make a run for it. "Just what happened on that honeymoon in the garden?"
