Doll!SasoriXReader-The cursed doll part 9

That morning, the death of Hidan and Deidara still weighed pretty deep on everyone's mind. Nobody spoke to one another, the place was just silent. It bothered you a bit but to Sasori, it was like music to his ears. The fear he gave them was all too satisfying but he would never let you see that.

He didn't want you to. He was your little doll. That's how he wanted it to stay for if you found out what he truly could do, you'd abandon him. He wouldn't be able to bear that. Not again..

The thought made Sasori cling tighter to you and tense up. Noticing this, you lift Sasori's face gently with your hands and look him in the eyes.

"Sasori, what's the matter today?"you ask. Sasori was silent for a moment but then a small smile came to his lips.

"Nothing. I'm just happy that I have you.."he says as sweet as he could. You blush and run a hand lightly through his crimson locks.

"Aww...you're so cute Sasori."you giggled. Sasori smiled and climbed onto the couch next to you. He rested his head in your lap and closed his eyes as you brushed your hand through his hair.

Why is it he felt so comfortable around you? After that time...he vowed never to trust anyone again. And he didn't. He didn't trust anybody in this house..except for you. Why? He couldn't wait to kill the others off but why not you? Maybe it was because if you were gone..than he truly would be all alone again..

"Sasori.."You say softly. Sasori's eyes flew open and he sat up quickly.

"Y-Yes?"He answers. You stand up and stretch your arms.

"I said I was going to check on Itachi. I'll be right back.."You say. Sasori nodded.

"O-Okay.."he mumbled. You smile at him, showing that you will come back and head off down the hallway.

~~~

Itachi sat on his bed with his knees cradled to his chest. The position pained his leg but he didn't mind it. He just stared blankly at the wall.

"Dude wake up from your trance already!"Kisame shouted but Itachi didn't move. There was a knock at  the door, Kisame went to open and found you standing there.

"Good morning Kisame.."you say softly.

"Yeah, if you can call it that.."Kisame sighed. You blink.

"Huh? Is something wrong?"You ask. Kisame sighed once more and nodded.

"Yeah, Itachi has been in this weird trance like state all morning. He won't talk, eat , or anything! He's just sitting there."Kisame steps aside and points to Itachi.

Slowly, you step in the room and walk over to Itachi.

"Maybe you can get him to talk. I'm going out for a while.."he says. You nod.

"Alright!" You approach Itachi who was indeed just sitting there. He didn't acknowledge your presence at all. "Itachi.."You slowly reach out and rest your hand on his shoulder. Suddenly, Itachi jumps and moves away from you.

"Oh _______.it's you. W-what are you doing here?"Itachi asks.

"I came to see if you were okay. Are you okay Itachi?"you ask. Itachi takes a  deep breath and nods.

"Y-Yeah..just a bad night's sleep is all.."he says. You sit on the bed next to him.

"Itachi..I know..."

"_______ there's something I need to tell you.."Itachi interrupts. He stares at you with such an intense look that you could have sworn there was fire in his eyes.

"W-what is it Itachi?"you ask, feeling a bit frightened by his look. Itachi suddenly grabs your arms tightly.

"You must listen to me. Sasori is-"he stopped. His eyes went a bit wide as he noticed a particular redhead standing in the doorway peeking it. The intense brown eyes of the person glared at Itachi coldly. It was Sasori..watching him.

Sasori held up his thumb and swiped it across his neck quickly all the while glaring at Itachi. Itachi knew what that meant. If he told you what he knew about Sasori..he was a dead man.

But what if Sasori planned to kill him off next anyway? Either way..isn't he dead? Or maybe that's not Sasori's game. He wanted to strike fear and terrorize Itachi. He was having fun with it. He wouldn't kill him off so quickly unless he told.

The threat made Itachi tremble a bit.

"Itachi? Sasori is what?"you ask, pulling him back to his thoughts. Itachi blinked his eyes and turned his gaze back to you. He bit his lip.

"Sasori is...doing very well with walking now..."Itachi sighs. Sasori rolls his eyes embarrassingly and walks away from Itachi's door, satisfied but suddenly bumped into someone. You blink and smile brightly at Itachi.

"Oh yeah he is! He's a really quick learner. If I didn't know better I would have said that he already knew how to walk and speak.."You scratch the back of your head awkwardly and laugh a bit. Itachi nodded.

"Yeah.."

"Help!"A voice called out. Your eyes widen as well as Itachi's and the two of you jump up.

"That's Sasori!"You shriek, rushing out the room. Itachi follows behind you quickly and the two of you rush to the hallway where Sasori was being pinned against the wall by Kakuzu.

"You little fuck! You did this!"Kakuzu shouted.

I didn't do anything! Let go of me! ______ help!"Sasori cried.

"Liar! You killed Deidara and Hidan."Kakuzu shouted again. Kakuzu gripped Sasori's shirt collar tightly and slammed his back against the wall repeatedly. Sasori winced and squirmed.

"That wasn't my fault! I did nothing wrong!"Sasori shouted. You gasp and rush over.

"Kakuzu! Get the hell off him you creep!"you shout. With one hard shove, you push Kakuzu off Sasori and to the ground. You turn to Sasori just  as he clings to you,trembling. You wrap your arms around him protectively and glare at Kakuzu.

"You bastard! What the hell are you hurting Sasori for?! He never did anything to you so just leave him alone!"You shout. Kakuzu stood up and glared at you.

"Are you stupid! It's his fault all this has happened! It's his fault that Deidara and Hidan are dead!"

"No it's not!! Sasori had nothing to do with that! I'm sick of you guys blaming him! He's not cursed, he's not evil, he's just an innocent boy like the rest of you! So just fuck off already!"You scream at Kakuzu. Before he could say anything, you help Sasori to your room and slam the door shut.

"Why do they insist that it's me? What did I do ______? I'm not cursed! I swear it!"Sasori cried into your shirt. You pat his head.

"I know Sasori. Kakuzu's just a dumb fuck head who's consumed by money greed."you scowl. You lay Sasori down on your bed and stroke his hair with your hand.

"Just rest for a while, okay?" Sasori nods.

"Okay.." There was a sudden tap on the door and you glare over your shoulder to see Itachi peeking in.

"______, can I talk to you for a moment?"he asks. You take a deep breath and nod.

"Sure."You look back at Sasori and smile."I'll be right back." Sasori frowns but he nods and you exit the room.

"What is it?"you ask. Itachi took a deep breath and took your hands in his.

"______, you must listen to me. Sasori really is..different.."he says. You furrow your brows at Itachi.

"What do you mean different?"you ask. Itachi inhaled another deep breath and tightened the grip he had on your hands.

"I mean..he really does have the power to control our deaths. He told me so. He's evil _____."he says. Suddenly, you feel anger fill you and you snatch your hands away from him.

"You too? What is with all of you blaming Sasori? He did nothing to deserve this! Look, I know you are all taking Deidara and Hidan's death heavily but pushing the blame on somebody as innocent as Sasori is unfair and unreasonable."you say.

"______ please listen! I know this sounds absurd but it's the truth. Sasori is a cursed puppet-"

"I don't wanna hear anymore Itachi!"You yell. You turn your back to him and lay a hand on your bedroom door. "I thought you of all people would be the last to fall into such a rumor."

Before Itachi could say anything else, you open the door and shut it behind you with a slam. Itachi banged on the door behind you.

"______ please open up! It's not safe for you to be alone with him! Just listen to me! Please! He's gonna kill again!"Itachi shouted.

"Just go away Itachi. Leave me and Sasori both alone.."you called back. When Itachi's bangs had ceased, you glance at Sasori who was lying down on the bed fast asleep. At least you thought he was until his brown eye opened quickly and wide, scaring you a bit.

"Sasori..you okay?'you ask but he didn't answer. His eyes remained wide and he seemed to just be staring into space. You walked over to him and rested a hand on his head. "Sasori. Wake up!"

Sasori continued to stare blankly despite your calls to him for another ten minutes before he blinked and focused his eyes on you.

"_____..?" he mumbled. Slowly, Sasori sat up and rubbed his eyes. "How long was I asleep?" he asked. You stared at him for a moment before shaking away any fear that had awoken within you.

"N-not long. Are you okay though?'you ask. Sasori nodded.

"Yes, why?"he asks.

"No reason..you just look a little pale is all.." Sasori chuckled softly.

"Well that's natural when you have porcelain skin like mine."he teases. You let out an uneasy laugh  but a piercing cry sends a bolt of fear down your body. another moment passes and Itachi throws open the door of your bedroom.

"_______!!"he gasped, seemingly out of breath.

"What is it?"you ask. Itachi glanced at Sasori then stared at you.

"Something's happened to Kakuzu."
