No strings attached _ Sasori x Reader

Chapter 2

You finally arrive, the vision was way prettier up close. You can't help yourself from removing that cloak, underneath it, a ballerina-like outfit exposed your puppet traits. Now with chakra strings in each of your joints, you started dancing, allowing the sweet sounds of nature to your rhythm. After some minutes you decided to stop, but for some reason the chakra strings were still there, forcing you to dance on a different rhythm. "Sasori" You thought to yourself. 

--time skip--

It was now early morning, you had spent the rest of the night thinking about what happened. Why would Sasori do that? "I thought he despised me" You say to yourself. "And who would despise you?" You turn around only to see Kisame leaning on the door. "No one" You said looking slightly down. "Erm, if you say so. Either way, we're leaving in 5 minutes" Kisame says as he turns around to leave. "Thank you" You say before finishing packing your bag.

Akatsuki's POV

Everyone was walking for a while now, each one talking to their own pair. Except for you, walking slightly slower than everyone else.

Kisame noticed you looking down and waited for you. "You okay?" He asked, now walking by your side. You nodded with a subtle smile. "Uhm, I don't understand it really well, but you have an interesting fighting style, really not what I expected" He says scratching the back of his neck. "I think it suits me better" You say. "And why is that?" You shrug "That's how I was trained, so I guess I just got used to it" You say, before being interrupted by Tobi activating one of Deidara's explosives.

"It's starting to get dark, we'll rest in here before continuing tomorrow" Pain says, everyone nods and starts preparing where they'll sleep. 

Your POV

You sat by the fire, staring at it hugging your knees against your chest. Someone sits beside you, you thought it would be Kisame or even Tobi so you didn't move. "You'll burn yourself sitting this close to the fire" The voice says, you look back and see it's actually Sasori. You sigh, it's not worth it trying to argue with him, so you just back away from the fire, sitting closer to him. You can't help but stare deeply on him, the perfection of that empty puppet. He stops carving up the doll in his hands and looks back to you, seemingly annoyed, you try and say something, but you just can't, as if his presence was enough to seal your lips.

"Oi, Bitch-san, come help me get more wood for the fire" Hidan screams, making you break that deep eye contact with the red-haired boy. "Sure" You say, getting up and following Hidan into the woods. You two walked in awkward silence, even though Konan and Tobi were accepting and nice to you, you couldn't help but feel unwanted in that place, you sigh al lower your head, allowing those thoughts consume you. 

"What's bothering you?" Hidan asks, surprisingly. You just shrug, still looking down. "Look, I'm not going to ask this again, you either tell me or stop with that lost puppy face" You smile a bit, he does have his ways of caring, something you were never used to. 

"This is just really new to me. Being around so many people, I feel like none of them really want me here" "And why would you care about that?" Hidan says, looking down at you. "I've been alone for some time now, everything was so boring and meaningless. This could be my chance of changing it, but I don't think it's working" Hidan smirks. "Just wait for a little longer will ya? I wouldn't want to have you giving up on this so soon" "Why?" You ask. "It's not everyday we have a new cutie member" He says before speeding up, Hidan does have a very weird way to motivate people, but it was enough for you.

It was already late night, everyone was asleep, except for you and Sasori, of course. You wanted to ask him about that curious incident on the lake, but he would probably ignore you again. With that in mind, you got up and walk past him. "Where are you going?"  He asked, not even bothering to look up at you. "Going for a walk" You said and left, not giving him the chance to say anything else. You knew that if you wanted answers you'd have to confront him in a situation he couldn't escape, and you were willing to do anything for that. 

Finally reaching a big area, you proceeded to remove your cloak as hundreds of fireflies illuminated your puppet flawless body. Taking a deep breath, your chakra strings started appearing once again, attaching themselves to your joints, and just like that, you allowed yourself to dance with the rhythm of those woods. 

For 10 minutes or so, you danced by your own rhythm, until the grasp of the chakra strings changed from a soft touch to a desperate and strong one. He is here, you can feel his presence, holding your body, and controlling it to create a beautiful presentation. You fought the urge to let him lead you entirely, and at the moment you felt the chakra strings losing a bit of the grasp on your joints, you quickly got in control again, jumping right in front of where the chakra strings led to.

There he was, Sasori, with a small surprised expression. 

Sasori POV

 "Going for a walk" That was all she said before disappearing in the darkness of those woods. I couldn't care less about where she was going or what she was going to do, but the thought of that night on the lake would not leave my head. Why did I even follow her? Why couldn't I hold the urge to control her with my strings? 

"Dumb emotions" I muttered to myself, getting up and following her from a distance. Even in the dark, her presence before me was so strong, almost intoxicating, losing her would be rather difficult. 

After walking for a while, she finally stops and proceeds to remove her cloak, revealing her beautiful ball-jointed doll-like body. I let her dance for some time, her rhythm was different this time, more melancholic as if sadness and doubt surrounded her. 

Her body slowly started to lose grip, I took that as my chance to take the lead, I could just leave her be, but I couldn't, my hands felt the need to control every sting connected to her joints. So I did, and once again my chakra strings moved her body.

So addicting, something much more different than controlling an ordinary puppet, I could feel her entire body under control, under my protection. But for a moment I lost the focus on her chakra strings and in the blink of an eye she broke out from it, jumping right in front of me, her eyes, shining like the moon, staring deeply into my soul.

"Why....."
