said!", She says and her gaze is still there directed to the ground."I'll be right back!" Is Sasori's reaction and he walks out of the room. / I will now squeeze Karen out and then I will look for the one who will not leave Saori alone /, deep in thought, he opens the door to Karen's room.

/ Where did he go now? /, with a somewhat surprised look she looks towards the door, where the redhead has just disappeared. Shrugging, she goes to her bed and lies down on the bed. Before that, she takes off her clothes. A sleep doesn't hurt her now and when she wakes up, she wants to help her foster father with his new puppet.

"You tell me now why this person won't leave Saori alone!", He now wants to know and he doesn't tolerate any more excuses. Karen is now back in her room and she is doing a few little things in the room. But the Suna-nin disturbed her when he was strapped into her room and suddenly gave this message. "I don't know who it is.I just heard that he's not a human, he's a demon. ", says the long-haired woman and she devotes herself to her work again." I don't believe you. Otherwise you always know everything. You lie! ", he insinuates and he looks over at her with an evil look." Stop it now, Sasori. I really don't know and I wasn't lying. Believe me. "That's all she can say." If I find out that you lied to me, it won't do you any good! ", the puppeteer warns her with the usual tone in his voice and he walks out of the room with a bang." What the hell was that? He's not just upset about this. There must be something else! ", she assures herself and she finally wants to do this work so that she can relax for the rest of the day.

"The time will come in two days. When Sasori goes on the mission, you will get this girl out of hiding and put it somewhere, understand?Kakuzu and Hidan! ", the leader tells the two members and they both just nod.

Two days have already passed and the beginning of Sasori's mission will begin shortly. "Where are the two with the girl?", "She should come right away. Actually, she should have been here yesterday, but something probably got in the way!" Says Babsi, who is sitting at the table in Karen's room.

Saori is always scared when the Suna-nin goes on a mission. Because she always thinks that something could always happen to Sasori and he won't come back. She is not allowed to go with me. It is still too dangerous for her and if she goes with it, she is only a burden for Sasori. / I hope he comes back in a few days and not two weeks /. She is sitting on the window sill in the room and she looks sadly up at the sky. If she could only go with me, then she could try to help him, but he would never let that happen. But you could ask again. Maybe he changed his mind and she can go with me, what it's like to be on a mission.Very deeply in thought, the little one does not notice that someone is standing next to her. "I thought you were already gone, Sasori!", "No, I have to wait for someone!", You could really hear the anger in his tone. Even if he's in Hiruko now, you can hear that. Though he said it in a relaxed tone. But Saori knows him very well to know when he's angry. "I know that you are a little angry, but if this person doesn't come, can I go with you?", "You know that I'm very impatient and I'm not just a little angry and no, you stay here!" , says the redhead and he adds in thought: / I don't want anything to happen to you and if I take you with me and we are attacked, then it's too risky. I would like to take you with me but you are still too young /. "I want to give you something!", The Suna-nin suddenly comes out. Saori is silent but she tilts her head and inwardly wonders what Sasori wants to give her.The puppeteer moves Hiroku's left arm with chakra threads and he takes out a kunai and a scroll from the Akatsuki cloak that he has wrapped around Hiruko since the beginning. His sign, i.e. the scorpion, is engraved on the kunai. He puts the things on the armchair that the little one put in front of the window. A little surprised at this, she picks up the two pieces and examines the kunai first and then the scroll. "Thank you!", That's all she can get out of her. Since she is still surprised but happy at the same time. She is happy about the presents she got. It is the first time that she has received something from him. "I'm going now!" Says the puppeteer when he leaves the room. "Ok!" Can only be heard from the little one and she continues to look at the kunai and the scroll that now belongs to her. He has to admit that he is very proud of her. She will be a very strong puppeteer when she is older and with the scroll that is the first step she takes.At the main entrance, the Suna-nin waits impatiently for his supposedly new partner. after endless minutes, it seems to him he sees a figure in the distance. That slowly takes shape. Before the person arrives, two other Akatsukis line up next to Sasori. "Here comes your new partner, Sasori!" Says the scythe bearer, whose name is Hidan. "About time. You know that I'm very impatient!" Says the puppeteer with a dull tone but also a little anger in it. The glitz of the person becomes clearer and clearer and Sasori can't believe his own eyes. "You are not serious. This brat is my new partner?", He asks the best and Kisame has the floor: "We are serious. This is your new partner!". She is now a few meters in front of the three and she has not yet said a single word. "Brat!" Is the only word the puppeteer says to her. The girl glares at him hur angry and then she sweeps her gaze through the three. / And I let myself be persuaded to come with me / she regrets in Gadanke."You already know who we are and I also told you that you are getting a partner?", Hidan breaks the short silence and he adds: "And that's your partner!", He points to the Suna-nin who is next to him. /What's this? Is that a person or something /, you can see that she has a thoughtful face when she heard who her partner is. Now the fish man speaks up again: "This figure is only a puppet. Your real partner is in this puppet!". Hiroku's head turns to Kisame and he glares at him. /How does it work? How can a person be in such a thing? /, with her head tilted, the girl looks at the strange figure. "She doesn't need to know that!" Says the redhead to the taller one and he turns his head back to the girl. "We forgot your name!" Reports the scythe bearer. "My name is Tera!" She introduces herself again. "You already have your first mission with him today.Actually already now. "says the blue-haired man." And we both go! ", the sense carrier reports again and he indicates Kisame to go with him. Now only the two are left and they stare at each other angrily. After a few minutes the Suna-nin starts moving and he says:" Go. We have something to do and we have a mission! ". He walks past her and he doesn't even think about waiting until Tera comes after. She's still a bit skeptical about him. She's never met anything like that before. / I'm supposed to form a team with him now . That can never go well /, she keeps a safe distance of three meters. Three meters behind and three meters next to him. Neither of them has said a word for over four hours.

In the meantime in the headquarters they carry out the order from their leader. In which they bring this girl, who has been taken in by Sasori, out of hiding and put them somewhere. You actually have a week until the puppeteer comes back.Saori has already found out what's inside the scroll. / He gave me a puppet. So that I have my first marionette and he definitely wants me to finish it by myself. It will take a long time. I have little experience of how it works, but I will do it /, between the sentences she sighed once and then with a finger sign she pushed the puppet into the scroll. "It's almost time. She'll be out of the room in a moment and then it has to be quick. Otherwise the others will hear when she screams!" Whispers Hidan around the corner of the hall to Kakuzu, who is supposed to help, and she wait until she comes out of the room. As expected, Sasori comes out of the room and walks towards where the two are waiting for. She has pocketed the scroll and the kunai, and she marches past them without realizing it. The little one is frightened when she feels a hand on the neck and is taken up roughly."LET ME DOWN!" She suddenly yells. As the two expected, she screams. "IT HURTS ... SASORI!", She screams again and a third time she only screams the name of the puppeteer. After the scream it became quiet because Kakuzu hit her in the stomach with a punch. Not a second later she passed out. "Now she's quiet and we can get her out of here!" Says the bat and his partner gives an understandable nod.

When Saori yelled, Hiroku stopped walking. Because the Suna-nin suddenly interrupted the connection with his puppet when he had the feeling to have heard his name and he is afraid that he heard the voice of Saori. Sasori feels an uncomfortable stinging in his heart and he turns with Hiroku in the direction of the hiding place. / Am I just imagining it or did I hear my name. And what was that stinging in my heart?Maybe it was all just imagination after all, the puppeteer says, and he walks on. Tera has followed everything in silence and she doesn't care about it at all. She doesn't care what this thing has suddenly had. It's been five hours now without saying a word to anyone.

Kari was sure that she had heard Saori's voice. / That was the little one I heard /, just to be on the safe side, she goes up from the basement to the first floor to see if the redhead is okay. "Saori?" Says the long-haired woman sheepishly in the hallway. Which is Sasori's room. / Strange, she's usually always here at that time! /. No Answer. She fears the worst. Now it is confirmed that Saori did scream after all.
/ Where can she be? ... Outside ...! /, immediately after this thought, the long-haired woman runs to the main gate. When she
