Restore~ Sasori x Reader pt1

Reader x Sasori

                      You land in a clearing, panting slightly. Something propped against a tree catches your eye. You straighten up, blinking at the severely damaged puppet. You go over it's red hair, and red brown eyes, noting ever artistic and perfect curve. "What idiot left such an amazing work of art out here like this?" You growl, going over to it. You kneel, cupping the puppet's chin and turning it from side to side. "Such beautiful work... I doubt I can restore you back to your former glory, but I can't leave you here," You murmur, unclipping your coat and wrapping it around the puppet gingerly. You pick it up, shifting the puppet to your back.
                       Walking around, you collect the fragments that were left of the puppets limbs. "Even as fragments they're flawless," You comment. "___!" A familiar voice calls. You look over as a ninja dressed in black comes into the clearing. "Kankuro, you finish on your side?" You ask, collecting the last fragments. "Yeah, what's that on your back?" He inquires. "I just came across the most amazing puppet," You answer with a blissful smile. Pink dusts over his cheeks, "Really? Can I see it?" He asks, leaning to sneak a peek. "Ah! We have to head back now," You chuckle, pulling down his headband over his eyes and heading for Suna. "Hey! Wait up!" He calls after you.

                        You set the puppet onto your work bench gingerly. Carefully you take out the fragments, laying them out beside the puppet. You map them around like a puzzle for each limb. You frown heavily at one fragment, observing the wood grains. "Seriously? I don't have time to travel to the land of snow..." You grumble, identifying the wood used. Swiftly scribbling down the tree you will need later on. Measuring the puppet, and the shattered limbs, you got a good idea of what it looked like before. "This is amazing... Who ever crafted this was a genius..." You murmur as you finish your sketch.
                         Walking over to the puppet you stifle a sigh. "I'm going to need a lot of material...." You breath, setting down the sketch next to the puppet. Your fingers trace over the puppet's face. "Looks so real..." You murmur.  You step away, going through your sketches. "None of these will do... I need to make a weapon worthy of this puppet," You scoff. Turning to a new page and start sketching. Three paper wads later you let out a low growl. "Damn it, nothing seems right..." You growl, getting to your feet. You look at the clock, "Tch, it's already five in the morning!? I only have two hours!" You gasp, stripping off your vest and heading to take a shower. The clatter of wood makes you stop.
                       You spin about, kunei ready. Nothing, just the puppet looking back at you with lifeless eyes. Relaxing, you step back into your workshop, looking around briefly before shrugging it off and heading to take a shower. Once you were finished, you head back out to the work shop, fixing your vest. You open a cabinet and scan over your puppet scrolls. "Wolf... And.... Scorpion," You decide, gingerly taking them out. You hook them to your hip and go over to grab your sketch book. You pause, seeing it was turned to a certain weapon sketch. You pick it up, looking at the old sketch and hopping up to sit on the table next to the puppet.
                             "I forgot this one... It's so old..." You mutter, examining the picture closely. You perk up, "Actually... It would be perfect if I just tweak somethings," You say with a slight smile. Before you can start sketching, a knock sounds on your door. You hop down and head to the door. "Kankuro? I still have a half hour," You tell him, opening the door. "I know, I just wanted to come see that puppet you found," He replies. "Nope, not until Im done restoring it... Which might be a while, considering the materials that were used to make it..." You reply, folding your arms. "Do you know who made it?" He quizzes.
                       "I'm thinking Red Sand himself," You admit. His eyes widen, "Seriously!? Let me se-" You push his face back as he tries to come inside. "No no no, you have to wait," You tell him as he pouts. "Come on ___! Just a peek!" He insists. "See you in fifteen minutes," You say before closing the door. You shake your head and head back to the work shop, grabbing your sketch book and pencil. "I'll be back soon handsome," You huff, touching the puppets chin briefly before leaving.

                        "Come on! You never just relax!" Kankuro insists. "Sorry, I want to see this puppet restored soon," You tell him, heading straight home. "Well, in that case, I won't bug ya.... But I want to see this 'special' puppet when you're done," He says, nudging you. "Yeah, yeah," You chuckle. "Oh, you said you needed certain material to finish right?" He asks. You nod, "So you were listening," You tease. He smiles sheepishly, "What? I'm always listening!.... Anyways just make me a list and I'll try to help you get what you need," He tells you.
                            "Really!? You're the best Kankuro!" You say, hugging him. "Uh, no problem... Anyway I'll be over for Crow's enhanced arm later," He mutters, looking away with a slight blush. "Alright, see you then!" You call after him as he walks away. He just gives a wave. You get to your house, instantly heading to the workshop. You smile, seeing the puppet was where you left it. "Did you miss me?" You chuckle, tipping the puppets chin. You open your sketch book and turn to the finished weapon sketch.
                             "I was able to finish while on break," You murmur, setting the sketch down beside the puppet before going over to the already finished Crow arm. Sending a chakra string to the arm, you work out the mechanisms in the arm. "Good, everything is nice and smooth," You comment, before firing a few kunei from it. Satisfied with the results, you set it down and restock it with freshly poison coated kunei. "There, Kankuro will be happy with this," You decide before turning back to the puppet in time to see it's eyes flicker back toward you.
                              Tensing slightly, you turn to the puppet, hand trailing over a kunei handle. You lean towards it, looking at it carefully. You can hear faint beating coming from it's chest. Realization began to hit you. 'No.... That's impossible...' You think, shaking your head and straightening. "Tomorrow's my day off so I can start with the new weapon tonight," You say as you light your forge. You open one of the floor panels to take out some steel chunks.
                                "Maybe these arent good enough... What do you think Sasori?" You ask rhetorically, lifting up the steel chunks. "Steel is fine, depending on how you temper it," A voice replies, making you freeze and pale. You look up at the puppet to him looking straight at you. "Did you just answer me?" You squeak. He blinks "You did ask me a question, did you not?" The puppet questions.
