Akasuna no Sakura (COMPLETED)

❤️Chapter 13❤️

Chapter 13:

"Chicken Flavored Ramen!" Sakura licked her lips and smacked them. Sasori rolled his eyes as he lead her back to the safe end of the beach.

"You always eat ramen."

"It's easy to eat, them we can get right back in the water!" Sakura tried to take the lead, running in place as she attempted to drag Sasori. He was too strong for her however, and he kept at his normal pace.

"I guess I really do have to swim don't I?" He complained visibly as the two of them sat at the water's edge.

"Yep!" Sakura kicked the water, praying sea everywhere. Sasori understood her excitement. She always stayed locked up in the Akatsuki base. The only real sunlight light came from high up genjutsu filled walls to allow them to see any enemies coming, and the base doors opened to show Sasori and Deidara walking down into the base. Sometimes she'd wait for them if she knew they came back at a certain time.

Sasori would not admit it, but he felt bad for not immediately showing her how to explore the terrain. She was an excitable brat, but a good and devoted child. She deserved it.

"Can you show me how?" Sasori sucked up his pride. On her other side, Deidara joined them and held her other hand.

"I don't suppose you swim often do you Danna?"

"I grew up in Suna. The only swimming I did was inside of Hiruko in my young rogue ninja days. We mostly fly and walk." Sasori rolled his eyes at Deidara visibly.

"Can we go to Suna?" Sakura asked with a pout. Sasori shook his head no. "You wouldn't like it. It's very hot." Sasori kicked his bare foot at the water. "Are you gonna show me how to swim or not?"

"Oh!" Sakura gasped. "Well. You gotta wear your floaties. They keep you up. Like this!" She dropped both of their hands and ran straight into the ocean. A wave hit her and she shivered hard and fell into the 3 feet of water.

Deidara checked one more time that his long blonde hair was tucked into his shower cap. Sasori glared at him sideways. "Stop acting like a little girl."

"If my hair gets saltwater in it, it's gonna be a bitch to brush, un." Deidara complained, evenly tucking a few strands in his cap. Sasori walked forward, his swim trunks fitting evenly on his hip. "Might as well get this over with." He muttered, walking through the water slowly to Sakura. She was splashing around in the small body of water, giggling excitedly. Sasori sat down next to her, the water submerged to his shoulders.

"You know what I like about swimming so close to the sand?" Sasori said offhandedly as Deidara came and sat next to him. Sakura climbed over Sasori's legs and stared at Deidara's chest.

"Tattoo!" She pointed to the stitched mouth on his chest.

"What's so nice about it?" Deidara asked. Sakura pointed to Sasori's chest at the scorpion. "Puppet Tattoo!"

"Baby sharks are always looking for food here. Plenty of crabs, babies." Sasori said with a smirk. Deidara glared at him, and Sakura paled visibly.

"Sharks? Like Uncle Kisame?"

"Nope, there this big. They eat the little children that come here. Nibble their toes." Sasori held his arms opened all the way. Sakura paled and Deidara smacked Sasori's arm.

"Don't lie to her Danna!" The damage was already done. Sakura jumped into Deidara's lap and clutched onto his arms.

"I can't see!" Sakura looked at the light grey saltwater. She splashed it a little, but still couldn't find a shark.
