Description
Sasori and Sakura were getting exasperated, having spent more time than they had originally intended away from Deidara and Saori. Sasori's red hair and especially Sakura's pink hair had been dead giveaways. Somehow, they managed to lose them some villages away, but that put Deidara and Saori in danger. Silently, Sakura wished they all had less ostentatious hair colors.

Currently, they were hidden behind a non-descript store. Though their pursuers were nowhere in sight, they were still in need of rest from the extreme running they had endured. Sakura paused, then, "Sasori... why the hell are you out of breath?" Underlying her question was another: was he mocking her humanity?

He glared at her. "You don't need to know." She watched his rising chest. It seemed real, his need to breathe.

"If you're mocking me -"

Sasori leapt to his feet. "God damn, Haruno, not everything is about you. I do need to breath, is that so hard for you to accept?"

She was now on hers. "Of course it is! I'm not joining any pity party of yours so you could stab me straight through the back -"

"Like you did to me?"

"Damn right!" she snapped, despite the fact she hadn't actually done the stabbing.

"You wonder why I'm alive, don't you? Well it came at a price." He slapped a hand over his chest. "This! This is all wood, not flesh. But this -" he moved over towards where his heart might lay were he human "- this is real. I have organs. I have to breathe to function. I was fine being dead. I was pulled back and this is what I have to live with. Succumbed to human necessities in a wooden body! You took all that I lived for away from me when you killed me, Haruno Sakura!"

Veritas = Latin for truth, third declension feminine in nominative singular form. I'm proud to say I remember something from Latin II!
