"Do you know where the word for 'venom' comes from, little girl?"

A soft-spoken voice rang out into the cool of the evening, carrying with a lilt on the brisk autumn breeze. Sakura Haruno's heart pounded in her chest as she faced her predator, a short-ish man with stunning brown eyes and messy red hair. He wore a smirk on his face as he twitched a finger, yanking her forwards with the force of a single tiny string, bright blue and glowing with energy. Sakura gritted her teeth as she was jerked towards him, her chin up and looking into his eyes. The man's smirk grew, and he pulled once more, enjoying the feel of having a puppet to play with, even one that was still alive, "Well? Do you?"

Sakura growled under her breath, her green eyes filled with bitter animosity, "No"

"Ah. Well…allow me to educate you, little girl." Again with the hand movement: his finger barely twitched and she was against his chest, feeling the sharp thrum of his seeping poison through her veins, his 'heart' pulsing gently with life. "Venom comes from a Grecian goddess by the name of Venus. The word itself, that is."

"And what the fuck does that have to do with anything?!"

"Simple, Haruno. Do you know what Venus was the goddess of?"

"I d-don't—" suddenly there was the sensation of warm breath against her earlobe—could puppets even breathe? She didn't know—and a soft voice in her ear. Sakura nearly missed it, the words airy soft and carried away by the breeze.

"Venus…was the goddess of love"

Then, just like that, the strings were gone and so was he; disappeared into thin air, it seemed. Sakura put a hand against her cheek, slowly, at theohsoslight feeling that something had brushed against it. Something soft. Something…human.

Her green eyes started to fade and she mumbled softly to herself, "Gotta get the injection in…"

Still, as Sakura slowly pushed the antidote into her, releasing herself from the close brink of death, she couldn't help but feel that Akasuna no Sasori was still there, breathing haunted words in her ears.
