TLLF: Chapter 6 Part 1


Turn of thoughts


They entered the hideout. Sasori was being carried in Deidara’s arms, watching the blonde’s tears fall down and hit his face. Deidara wiped away his tears, determined not to give Pein a hint of their secret. Sasori didn’t want to see Pein. Not right now, while he was like this. He didn’t know what Pein would do when he saw him, honestly he didn’t want to know. They traveled down the stairs and into the mane room. The other members caught word that they had recovered Sasori and they were already waiting at the table. Hidan looked up and saw Sasori’s condition.
“ Holy s**t! What happened to puppet boy?!” He said as he left the table and joined Deidara and Itachi to look at Sasori. The other members starred in shock and they all gathered around. They asked questions like “ Is he ok?”, “ What did that b*****d do to him?”, “ What the hell happened to his puppet body?” etc. Sasori didn’t like being starred at. The other members acted like they never seen a wounded body before, and it was starting to piss him off. Sasori’s hand draped down his side to the floor. The blood from his wounds ran down and dripped off his fingertips. Hidan eyed the blood. Sasori noticed and he managed to push Hidan away from him, leaving a smear of blood on Hidan’s chest.
“ D-don’t event think a-about it. B****d.” Sasori warned. Kazuku looked over Sasori’s body.
“ The wounds are very server, looks like your going to have to get used to the human body again Sasori. How unfortunate, you going to be stuck in bed for awhile while you heal. Remember, its not like your old one, you cant make a new part and attach it.” Kazuku said. Sasori glared at him.
“ Of course I know that. I’m not stupid.” He snarled. Just then, Pein walked through the door. He called Deidara, Itachi and Sasori forward. Deidara walked forward, holding Sasori’s wounded and bleeding body. Pein saw him, his eyes narrowed. Deidara gently laid Sasori on the cold, stone floor at Pein’s feet. Sasori looked at Pein and his eyes narrowed and looked away ashamed.
“ Sasori.” Pein started. Sasori looked up, his expression unchanging. Pein continued on. “ I’m not pleased with the way you’ve turned out, but I know you had not intention of becoming this way.” Sasori’s eyes widened in surprise. Pein understood him? But Pein wasn’t finished. “ You will be under the medical attention of Konan. With her skill you will be healed in about a week.” Pein turned to the other members. “ Now, we have two major missions. One is the capture of Orochimaru and the other is the capture of the bejiu. I want you all to concentrate on the bejiu, but if you happen to find a link to Orochimaru, fallow that link. You’re dismissed.” He finished. The members nodded and left for their rooms. Deidara remained with Itachi and Sasori. Pein looked at them. “ Deidara, Itachi you are also dismissed.” He said. Deidara looked at Sasori. His eyes were sad and worried. He didn’t want to leave the red-head, but he had to go. Sasori looked back at him. He nodded slightly giving Deidara permission, even though the last thing he wanted was for Deidara to leave. Deidara looked up at Pein and nodded.
“ Yes Leader-Samma.” Deidara said. He turned around and walked out with Itachi behind him. Pein looked back down at Sasori once everyone was gone. His eyes suddenly turned soft. Sasori never saw this side of Pein before. His usual hard, heartless eyes had become soft and slanted with worry.
“ Sasori. Make a full recovery, and make sure that this new body isn’t frail. You’re now our youngest member. Do not fail me.” He said. Sasori’s eyes slanted in sadness.
“ Yes Leader-Samma. I will not disappoint you.” Sasori said. Pein kneeled down next to Sasori. He placed a hand on Sasori’s shoulder. Something Sasori had never seen him do. He looked at Pein in surprise. Pein looked a bit surprised at himself as well.
“ Now Sasori, I see you as a son. What ever I do, I’m trying to do the best for you. I need you to look up to me as not only your leader, but as a father as well. Can you do that?” Pein asked. Sasori was shocked. Look up to him as a father? How could he do that? He had to admit this was totally sudden and very unexpected, and just a bit weird. He knew better then to deny Pein so he slowly nodded his head.
“ Y-yeah.” Sasori said. For the first time, Sasori saw Pein smile. His smile was soft and a bit worried. He removed his hand from Sasori’s shoulder when Konan walked in. She was carrying a white robe and she hurried over to where Sasori and Pein were.
“ Ok, everything’s ready. Bring him in.” she said hurriedly. Pein nodded and picked up Sasori. Sasori couldn’t take his eyes off of Pein. The heartless b*****d had a heart huh? Sasori began to look at Pein as more of a father then just some a** hole he worked for. Pein set him on the small, medical bed and stood at Sasori’s side while Konan worked on him. Sasori’s face wasn’t very damaged, it was mostly the rest of his body. Konan wrapped him in white bandages from his neck to his feet and gave him a potion to help stop the burn of the acid. Konan then sedated him. Once it took effect, Sasori drifted off into a long sleep. Pein stood beside him watching Sasori’s shaky breathing. Pein pulled up a chair and sat down beside the bed. His eyes searched Sasori’s bandaged body and he gently patted the red hair on Sasori’s head.
“ I will find Orochimaru, and kill him. And I stay true to my word. Sasori, my son.” He said quietly.
Deidara sat on his bed with Itachi beside him He was thinking about Sasori. Wondering if he would be ok and whom he would work with to pass the time. Itachi looked at Deidara, his fake, worried face still playing its part.
“ Its ok Deidara. Pein said he would be back in a week. He’s going to be fine.” Itachi promised. Deidara glanced over at Itachi and made a small smile.
“ Thanks Itachi. That really means a lot to me. Thank you, un.” He said. Itachi smiled back and patted Deidara’s shoulder twice.
“ No problem. I’m here for you.” He said. Deidara nodded and Itachi left for his room. Deidara laid on his bed after Itachi was gone and closed his eyes. He fell asleep, the memories and visions of Sasori flashed in his head. But there was a new vision that he never dreamed about before. It was of Itachi’s smile. Deidara started having more and more visions of Itachi that he couldn’t control. Itachi had been so nice to him all of a sudden. Deidara decided to trust him, after all what could happen? Itachi being on his side would make things so much easier. Now all that was left is to wait for Sasori to get better, then things might turn around for him. Literally, turn around.
