A short little collection of Inari's thoughts while staying with Naruto as Sasori was destroying the Akatsuki.

Day One

I... I hope he'll be alright. I can't stand the thought of losing him. Not after getting him back such a short time from right now. Naruto has treated me fairly and given me a room for myself. I'm staying there for now. Kakashi Hatake has a recovered my bow and quiver and returned it to me, but I don't look at it. It reminds me to much of what I did. My room is small, but its pleasent. I have an overlook of Konoha on a balcony. They have beautiful cherry blossoms here in the Hokage's quarters. When I asked Naruto why there were so many of them, he blushed and said that they reminded him of someone special. I left it at that.

I'm so tired. The last time I slept was with Sasori in the grotto. I hope he's ok.

Day Two

No news about Sasori. I'm scared for him. I know he's perfectly capable of defending himself, but he might do something rash. I wish he wasn't doing this for me. Then he would be safe and ok. I haven't left my room since dinner last night. It was ramen, lots and lots of ramen. Naruto and my little sister would get along great; she loves ramen too. I didn't eat much. I kept on looking at the cherry blossoms outside. I wonder who Naruto likes. She's a lucky girl.

I wonder how my family in Kumogakure is doing? I miss them. I want to hear Amaya and Ma cooking dinner and Pa making jokes about his missions. Pa was always so light hearted when it came to his deadly missions. I hope that they're alright. I would hate for them to be hurt because of the choices I made.

I wonder how the new Raikage is turning out. I hope she's settling in well, especially with the country in an uproar over me. As soon as Sasori comes back, I'm going back to help settle things out.

Day Three

I haven't left my room since my first day here. Naruto called in a medic to help find out what was wrong. I swear, if someone tries to prod me again, I will scream bloody murder. I miss Sasori so badly. I hope he's ok. I love sitting on the balcony. The cherry blossoms dangle right over head and I watch them fall. The only thing that caused a note worthy reaction today was when they brought in my Akatsuki cloak. I screamed till they took it out and then began to cry. What's wrong with me? Everything feels so dull. I haven't changed out of my kimono that I came here in. I don't have anything else to change in. I'm still sitting on the balcony.

Day Six

There has been no news of Sasori. I'm still sitting on the balcony. People have came in at intervals and tried to clean me and feed me. I refuse to talk or move on myself. I just don't want to do anything. The only thing that stands out to me is the cherry blossoms. A guard came in today and put a cherry blossom clip in my black hair. He sat with me and watched the blossoms fall. I hope he knows that I only love Sasori. More medics have came in. I've been put through so many tests, I've stopped caring. Everything feels so dull. I can't feel it when they prod me. A doctor came in and told Naruto that I would be allowed to remain as long as I don't hurt anyone. Don't they know I'm not Akatsuki anymore. I tried to tell them this, but my mouth wouldn't open.

I hope he's ok. I miss Sasori so much.

Day Eight

The guard came back today. He replaced the cherry blossoms. After a while, I began to cry and he backed off. A doctor came in and threw the new cherry blossoms away. I know who Naruto likes. The kind doctor's name is Sakura, same as the blossoms. I haven't moved in what seems like forever. I'm always out on the balcony now. Everything feels dull and frosted over. Even the cherry blossoms are fading now. I won't move until he comes back. I know he will. Sasori.... He wouldn't leave me alone for forever.

Its night now. Everything is so dull. I stared at the stars and found two constellations. One was mine, Sagittarius the archer. The other one was Scorpio, the scorpion. I cried again. Everything feels dull. I can't believe he would leave me, but everyone else seems to.

I'm starting to visit Two-Tails. She's very kind and polite as always. I talk to her, and she talks back to me. I rarely come out of myself now.

Day Nine

I'm always with Two-Tails now. I barely feel the doctors now, but I'm somewhat aware of them. They say....

I'm running out of time to recover.

Sasori.

I cling to every thought of him.

I miss him so much.

It was a short little story to write. I've had the idea for a bit, but I've lacked a way to write it.

Kudos to Sierra for making it a reality.
