scorpions seem to be sad.
The next morning . . .
Kankuro got up and stretched out to start a new day while he remembered what happened yesterday . He sighed and pondered a little while talking to himself.
° 《If Mr. Sasori backed as a human will he become an old man considering the years he spent as a wooden puppet ?. If that happens. will he die due to the rapid development of cells? . We need a medical ninja... Sakura-chan? . No, after all, she was his opponent. If she cooperated, he would certainly not cooperate. Such confusion. If the puppet master Sasori was in my place, he mustn't have been confused.” . As he was absent-minded, he entered Sasori's room as he was said normally.
• "Good morning--Oh! God, what's this? . What's wrong with you?". He was terrified as if he had seen a ghost, but in reality that ghost was Deidara.
• “Shut up, please ... just a while ago I noticed his calm features ... it seems that he has finally fallen into a comfortable sleep....” . Deidara's hair was messy and covered his face, and his blue eyes, swelling from sleeplessness, were surrounded by terrible dark circles . not to mention his pale face.
• "You ... to push yourself like this will only lead to unwanted results ... where is the benefit if you reach your limit and faint next to him ... we hardly deal with one patient, so how about if you are also bedridden--".
• “Stop lecturing me… It is not right to imitate people so stop imitating Dana, hm.”. His accusation made Kankuro blush to the extreme.
• "I am not imitating anyone!!".
• "You do!" . He was adamant.
• " incorrect! ".
• "You even use the puppets he made--".
- "Ah... s--shut up...." . He quickly turned to the source of the voice.
• "Dana! Sasori Dana! Are you awake?" .
• "Uh-- where--am I...". Sasori asked in a stifled, hoarse and tired voice.
• "It's okay, it's fine...this is an old house of mine that I've been hanging out in for a long time." . He was trying to reassure him.
• “Why--why am I--stak like this-- and also-- I don’t feel comfortable-- I don’t know--.”.
• "You are not staking ,Dana. You can move your arms but don't get up.".
• “Uh--ah--I can’t--I tried.”. All his words were cut by his choked breaths. The picture started to get blurry as Sasori was feeling that there was something wrong and even several wrong things.
• “I--transferred my consciousness--ah--and my heart too--ah--ah..to-.”.
• "Don't talk ! You can explain later! Calm down...and talking about it.. somehow...your heart isn't there.".
• " ... what ..." . Two dead eyes looked at Deidara. Sasori's usual terrifying look.
• "Don't look at me like that, Dana, it was there but it's gone by someway. ".
• "It's inside your chest now... you're back as a human.". Kankuro spoke the truth. Deidara bit his lips while Sasori turned to the source of the intrusive voice.
• "You!- what are you-- doing-- here". He had been holding on to Deidara's clothes with difficulty to help himself up, unaware of Deidara's shock.
• "What--do you mean that-- ah--" . When Sasori's fingertips became numb, he would have slipped into bed, had it not been for Deidara's hands that supported Sasori's back.
• “Sasori Dana, calm down and rest in bed, okay.”.
• "What are you saying--Deidara--Who will return as human--" . His voice was hoarse and interrupted by a fit of coughing and pain in his chest ... Deidara was patting Sasori on the shoulders.
• "Calm Dana. Your words were always to me (Calm!) Are you going to break your own words now?" . Gradually his coughq subsided, but the feeling of suffocation and dizziness in his head did not diminish . What made him dizzy was the feeling itself in the first place ... He started panting with blurry eyes ... He said intermittently as Deidara put him back in bed.
• “Ha--ha--I--what-- happened…”.
• "Dana! Don't loss conscienceness ! Please wake up...Okay" . But even so, Sasori kept drifting away with his eyes unfocused.
• "You ! Kankuro! Come see--" . But Kankuro was already by his side trying to figure out what happened to Sasori.
• "Fuck!! He's not breathing! He wasn't breathing from the beginning, because he used to use chakra for everything and now he doesn't realize that he's becoming a human being that's why he wasn't breathing! I doubt he knows how to do it--what are you going to do? Deidara??!". Deidara leaned over Sasori after turning his red-haired head back and making sure that Sasori was not swallowing his own tongue. He brought his lips together with the other's and exhaled into Sasori's mouth. and repeat the process again. Sasori was trying to resist him, but he couldn't. Every artificial respiration that Deidara took ran like knives into the hollow of his fresh lungs, which were not yet accustomed to receiving air.
• "Come on, Dana, pull the air in and release it...inhale and exhale slowly...". Sasori pulled some air but quickly suffocated. It was so painful for his sensitive lung wall that he stopped immediately.
• "Dana! You have to bear it more, you must breathe on your own as soon as possible!".
• "Oh, damn it!...what the hell...is going on ?" . Sasori screamed in terror in his hoarse voice. Tears were running down his cheeks because of his suffocation.
• "Dana, please just calm down--".
• " how ?!!!" . He cried angrily, but with some sadness.
• "I have a message from your grandmother, I just want you to calm down a little." .
• "Then give me the message!".
• "Calm down first--".
• "Immediately, Deidara!" . He shouted at him as he extended his hand to hand him the letter that he found next to Sasori's head in the cave. Before Sasori's fingers touched the message, his hand fell while he suddenly fainted.
• "D-Dana?! Dana!! What happened?!. He was terrified more than he was by Sasori's anger while he was shrugging him in the shoulders and slapping him lightly on the cheek as he called him to wake him, but his attempts all failed.
• "Leave him, he is not dead, his brain is forcing the body to sleep because his reactions are not helping him.".
• "Sasori's mind made Sasori lose consciousness?".
• " yes " .
• “So he is asleep?”.
• " Yes " .
• "Isn't he one Sasori? Is Sasori fighting with himself?".
• "I am not a medical ninja.".
• "I forgot that you are just a copycat.".
• " I'm not like this " .
• "Your art is scratchy!".
• "Mercy! I'm out looking for a medical ninja to help us!".
• "At least you will be useful!"
• " stop being childish" .
• "I am not a child."
• "You are the youngest person here.".
• "Dana looks younger than me!".
• "Your Dana will kill us even while he is sleeping. Be quiet.".
• "Get off and be useful.".
• " you are thankless ! " . He left, leaving Deidara before blowing his head off. Kankuro was really wondering how the puppet master could put up with someone like Deidara. And speaking of the other, he had adjusted Sasori's sleeping position to be comfortable and hurriedly got more blankets to cover over Sasori's body.
• "Now Dana, be a good boy and sleep peacefully, even your mind agrees with me that your madness will not help you." . He whispered beside Sasori's head and combed his red hair with his fingers as if he was casting a spell on him. As if the spell had worked, Deidara's hand combing Sasori's hair made the memories of the red-haired flow to him like dreams. It was a distant memory that Sasori chose to lock with the key of oblivion and go on the path he chose and life imposed on him to be a fugitive ninja wanted dead or alive in all villages.

In the distant past, when Sasori was a child, he enjoyed the presence of his parents by his side. The little boy noticed something hiding among the rocks. It looked hard with a red rough .
• " What is this thing ? " . The child asked, staring with his eyes which had color of chocolate. He took a small stick and clicked on the animal that had taken all his attention.
• "Sasori, it's a scorpion, don't go near it!" . He heard his mother's voice calling from the window.
• " Why ? " . The answer came to him quickly with a sting from the scorpion's tail on his hand to make him drop the stick immediately and rise in terror from his place.
• "Oh! It hurts so much!" . He cried as he moved away from the scorpion to be picked up by his mother's arms, who quickly treated his hand with chakra.
• "It's all right baby, you'll be fine.".
• "I'm sorry, mom.".
• "But don't go near scorpions again, it's good that it wasn't poisonous.".
• "Yes mom, I'm sorry." . She hugged him to her chest and carried him into the house.
• "It's okay, little Sasori, let's set the table for lunch, your dad is coming soon, right?.".
• " Yes . " . They entered the house to bring her child down, and he went to the table and carried his papers and things, where he was drawing or maybe scribbling there before he got bored and left the house.
• "I will take them back to my room.".
• "Well done, son.". He ran to his room smiling to his mother laughing when she saw him running in a very childish manner, after all he is a very small child. He arranged his things in their places. In his treasure chest. And after making sure that it was closed well, despite the absence of a key or anything else to ensure that it would not be intrusive by anyone, but the innocent child trusted blindly that the boundaries of the house and everything inside the house was safe and secure, under the care of his parents and in the midst of their overwhelming love. He heard the door open, followed by a manly greeting, he smiled and hurried back to the kitchen.
• " dad dad ! " . He came running, which makes his father meet him with his opening hands.
• "Sasori, my little man!" . He raised it up high to make the laughter of the little one louder laughs withe careless for the future, no thoughts of war, he lived like an ordinary child. Not as a ninja's child.
• "Then come on, don't you want lunch?" . The mother joked.
• "I want candy!" . Sasori said gleefully, still carried in his father's arms.
• "After lunch, my love.".
• “Did you hear , Sasori ? Mama said after lunch so let’s be obedient and go to the table. " . He took his little son who was a cute and miniature version of him. They sat in their places, waiting for the food to arrive as Sasori's mother was placed dishes in succession.
• " dad, I saw a scorpion today.".
• "Oh? Did it hurt you?".
• “I tried to say hello to it but it stung me, my mother said it was good that the scorpion was not poisonous.”.
• "Where did it bite you?".
• "He stung my hand! But Mama treated me.".
• "Tell him not to approach scorpions." . The mother said as she put the last plate on the table to sit with them.
• "Are all scorpions bad?".
• “Not all of them. Some scorpions do not offend you if you leave them alone. Scorpions like to be alone on their own, so do not approach them , well.”.
• "Ah... the scorpions seem to be sad.".
• "Why do you think so, dear?" . The mother asked while the father tilted his head in astonishment.
• "I don't know, I just felt it...".
• "Forget it, little Sasori. Eat your food before it gets cold. Don't you want candy? Finish your plate first.".
• "But broccoli tastes weird." . He complained while his father laughed to be silenced with a jab in the side by his wife .
• “my son , broccoli is good for your health. It will make you tall and strong.”.
• “Yes, that is true. Your mom is right.”.
.
.
.
That nice family atmosphere faded, faded into the darkness. He felt coldness on his face. He opened his eyes, which no longer carried a glint of innocence. He stared at Deidara's confused features above him. Sasori had silent tears on his cheeks. He was still lost in his dream and his old memories. Deidara did not mention the fact that the other cried in his sleep. Instead, he asked anxiously.
• "Dana... are you okay? You were humming in your sleep, are you in pain?".
• "...". He stared at Deidara for a while without a word, then he grabbed Deidara's clothes and pulled them to give him support so he could sit.
• " un .. Dana ...if you rest, it would be better for you...". Nevertheless, he supported him with an arm that turned behind Sasori's back.
• “Did I say ... something strange?”. He asked idly as he rested his head on Deidara's shoulder.
• "Something about... the scorpions are sad...". A strange silence surrounded the room. Sasori did not speak again and kept staring blankly, and Deidara did not know what to do or say in such situations, as he was afraid to say a word that would make matters worse.
• "What is this slander, you guys are grumpy, guys." . A female voice came to them with the newcomer who entered the room. Sasori looked at her, staring at her strangely and wondering, she seemed to him familiar, but she shouldn't be that age, she should have been older than this, she should have been Sasori's age, in his thirties. But she is young.
• "You... is it really you?" . Sasori asked in a hoarse voice.
• " what do you mean ? " .
• "Have you turned yourself into a puppet or something ? How are you still young?".
• "Uh... you seem to think of me as someone else, I'm Gara's older sister Temari, I came with Kankuro to help, three guys will only make a mess." . said that blond girl named Temari.
• "Uh... I understand... you just look like her."
• " Who is ? " .
• "...someone I know...". He said vaguely and slowly, as if retracing the past, someone else not his parents or his grandmother, someone he had never given light of before, a girl he had known for a rather long time… someone who was on his team in Sand Village.
