Just something I thought of, when I was reading all these SakuraXAkatsuki fics.

Chapter 1

She tried to crawl to the nearest corner in an attempt to hide herself, but it was an attempt made in vain because her mother had grabbed her long, pink hair, yanking her back to the middle of her "punishment". She whimpered, waiting for the next wave of attacks; she was not disappointed, for not even a minute later did her mother resume the kicking and hitting. Her father, on the other hand, had proceeded to pull out a kunai. Juunko Haruno pulled back for a moment to allow her husband full access to their daughter. She locked Sakura's arms behind her back, so she wouldn't be able to fight back. But young Sakura had stopped resisting some time ago, screams dead hours before that. She had, in fact, welcomed the kunai as it was roughly pushed through her stomach. If she died, then the pain would go away, and that was all she could hope for. But Heiwa had other plans, and wounded her in a way that she would be left bleeding for a few hours before dying, completely avoiding critical areas. Smirking, he yanked out the kunai, twisting it along the way. Sakura only let out a grunt. It was like her brain had shut down her ability to feel the pain, as if coaxing her to live. Juunko then grabbed Sakura up by her hair once again, then stomped out of the room, Sakura's room, and threw her down the stairs. She herself carefully walked down; there was blood all over it. At the bottom, she once again grabbed Sakura by her hair, then dragged her body outside and towards the forest, then, once she reached the densest area, left Sakura with a last message.
"I hope you die slowly, you disgusting monster. Heiwa and I wanted our little Seto to pass down the clan name. But since that time, he can never move again! Why the fuck were you born a monster? You ruined our lives, you little abomination. You and that"
With a last, hard kick, Juunko left.
The little, pink blossom just lay there on the unforgiving ground, staring up at the blue sky with hollow eyes.

Itachi Uchiha had been returning to the Akatsuki base when he picked up a large scent of blood. Narrowing his eyes, he swiftly followed the smell when he reached an area with a tiny being curled up in a ball, staring at the sky. Blood pooled underneath the body, but the child seemed to either not notice it, which was a highly unreasonable theory, or chose to ignore it. He approached slowly, careful to not receive a panicked welcome from the girl. The little girl, who had the strangest hair color, simply turned her head to stare at Itachi. This surprised him, since he had concealed his chakra, but the child paid no heed to this and spoke, her voice barely audible.
"Are you death? Have you come to finally take me away?"
This was yet another shock to Itachi. This little girl laying in front of him, who looked to be barely six, was calmly accessing her death in a way it might have been comical if the situation had been different.
"No," he answered just as calmly, "I am a member of the Akatsuki. I am Itachi Uchiha."
"My name is Sakura Haruno, Uchiha-san."
The situation was simply a little too unnerving for Itachi's taste, so he gently picked up the girl, who seemed to weigh nothing, and swiftly carried her to the hideout nearby.

"Itachi-san, what took you so-!" Deidara immediately cut off the rest of his words when he saw a little girl in Itachi's arms, bleeding profoundly. "I-is she alright, un?"
"Get Kakuzu and Tobi, now."
"S-sure..." Deidara gave the child a last glance before tracking down the only two

'healers' in the group.
When Deidara left, Itachi had quietly taken the girl to the main room and laid her down on the couch. When it seemed she was attempting to speak, Itachi bent down to hear better.
"You're hands, they're are so gentle Itachi-san." Her voice slightly broke with the last few words. Itachi felt a wave of sorrow pass through him at that moment. Sakura painfully reminded him of his own little sibling, Sasuke, and so far, based on the things he had pieced together, Sakura had led a harsh life up to this point in time. It was at that moment Deidara had decided to crash back in, with Kakuzu and Tobi in tow. Itachi immediately took action. The child had, at most, a few hours to live.
"Heal her." He demanded. Both Kakuzu and Tobi suddenly seemed aware of the fragile being behind Itachi, her life bleeding out of her stomach.
"W-what happened to little girl?" Whispered Tobi. He drifted to her side, giving her a full checkup with his medical chakra.
"I'm not too sure, but I have my suspicions. You do too, don't you?"
"Yes, but little girl is just a child,"
"Hurry up and heal her. She doesn't have too much time left."
"Of course! Tobi will do everything to help little girl!"
"You don't have to," whispered Sakura. She suddenly had the attention of everyone in the room. "I'm a bad girl; I made kaa-san and tou-san angry, so I deserve to die. I'm a bad daughter."
The room was silent, shock on everyone's' faces.
"You are not a bad Sakura," Itachi said first, "it is your parents who are in the wrong and it is they who deserve to die." His voice glinted with suppressed anger. The little girl in front of him had had her mind and morals twisted so drastically if she was spouting nonsense like how she deserved death.

Sakura shook her head as hard as she could. "No I was, am, a bad girl. A bad 'monster' is what kaa-san told me, so I'm a bad monster. I deserve to die. I should…die..." She trailed off, finally passing out.
The Akatsuki members just looked at each other, shock etched into their expressions.
"That's one deranged way of thinking, un" Deidara muttered. That, coming from a group of "crazed" murderers.
"Hurry up Tobi," Kakuzu said. He was already at Sakura's side, attending to her punctured organs. Tobi immediately rushed to do the same. And so, the painfully long procedure of healing this broken, little body, began.

"Will she be okay, un?" Asked Deidara, almost fearful.
"She should be in the safe zone by now. So I think so." Answered Kakuzu. Tobi had fallen asleep at Sakura's feet after he had finished the healing with Kakuzu. Itachi let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding.
"I will be with leader-sama." Said Itachi as he walked out of the room, "when Sakura awakens, inform me."
Deidara and Kakuzu just nodded.

"Come in Itachi." Said Pein. Itachi walked into the dark room, where pain was sitting at his desk, with Konan standing behind him.
"I am here to report the details of my mission," Itachi said, then proceeded.
"Our...employer had indeed, planned an assassination for us. I disposed of him immediately, along with all the ninja he hired."
"Very well, Itachi. What else did you wish to tell me?" Pein asked. Pein was known to never miss anything with his eyes. He knew Itachi had something else to say.
"I found a child in the forest on my way back, leader-sama. She was found with numerous, very severe, wounds to the body, the most noticeable being a stab wound in her stomach. I have disconcerted that her parents are responsible for every wound. And by the looks of it, the girl has been going through abuse for some time now. I brought her back to the hideout to get her treated, and I apologize for doing so without your consent, but she had only a little more time left." Itachi finished.

Pein and Konan simply looked at each other, an unrecognizable look in their eyes.
"That is fine, Itachi. Konan and I will see her later, when she is well enough."
Itachi nodded and, taking that as a dismissal, quietly left the room. He was passing the room Sakura was held in when he heard shouting. Quickly retracing his steps, he walked briskly into the commotion.

It seemed that Deidara was arguing with Hidan.
"What the hell is your problem, Deidara?" Yelled Hidan.
"Shut the fuck up, un! Don't come any closer to Sakura-chan, un!" Glared Deidara. Kakuzu could be seen standing in front of Sakura's sleeping form almost protectively.
"I just said the kid looked like a little shit ball, Deidara! I don't get what all of your fucking problems are! What the hell is so special about the brat? I mean, she fucking has pink hair!"
"Enough." Said Itachi. He was disgusted by their behaviors. "You're going to wake Sakura up, so take your little tantrum outside Hidan. Deidara, don't make this situation any worse than it already is."
The two instantly backed down and away from each other. And, as if on cue, Sakura began to stir in her sleep, slowly opening her eyes. Itachi was by her side instantly.
"W-what? What happened to me? I feel so…warm." She mumbled, confusion etched onto her face. Slowly sitting up, she looked around the room and noticed a new person. And the first thing she asked him was, "What's that cool necklace around your neck, oji-san?"
Hidan instantly liked Sakura better. "This necklace represents Jashin, girl."
"Oh. What's your name?" She asked a little shyly.
"Hidan," he answered.
"Where am I?" She suddenly asked. She had been dreaming, and had dreamt of warm hugs and smiling faces.
"Sakura, you are in the Akatsuki's base. I brought you here to be healed." Itachi answered for her.

Sakura was quiet for a moment, and everyone thought she was frightened by the idea of being held by the notorious Akatsuki villains. But she surprised them once again when she asked quietly, "Will you throw me out after I get better?"

"Do not worry, little one. We will not throw you out." Said a voice from behind the group. Pain walked in with Konan at his side. Sakura looked up and asked, "Really? You won't throw me away?" Everyone else looked shocked by their leader's words.
"No we will not. In fact," and Pein looked at Konan when he said this, love clear in his eyes, "we were hoping you'd take Konan and I as your adoptive parents."

Everyone, including Sakura, gaped at this. Pein and Konan had been lovers for quite a bit of time. This was a known fact within the Akatsuki. But one thing the other members did not know was Konan's inability to give birth. A wound from an Oto nin years ago assured her of that, and she had been heart broken by the fact. Both Pein and Konan had planned to have a child, to show it love and the beauty of the world, but their dreams had been crushed by the Oto nin. Of course, he died a slow and painful death for it, but his death did not cure Konan. But now they had a kami-given chance at parenthood once again, and they weren't going to turn a blind eye to it, to her.

"D-do you mean that?" Whispered Sakura, clearly awed. It was hard for her to process all this new information at once. One moment she was dying, ready to greet death. The next, she's enveloped in warm arms and healed upon awakening. Then, two kind strangers offer to be her parents. It was simply too overwhelming for one with such a young mind.
Don't fight it Sakura. Just accept what comes your way. Her inner self said.

Konan cautiously stepped forward towards Sakura, opening her arms to her, and said in her soft voice, "Of course."
Sakura wobbled off the couch, with Itachi and Kakuzu behind her to catch her if she tripped, and ran to Konan and Pein with shaky legs. Konan held her close as Sakura began to quietly sob in her arms, smiling gently. It was all she ever wanted, a child of her own. A few tears escaped her own eyes, gently rolling down her cheeks. Pein laid his hand on her shoulder, squeezing it lightly. He then addressed Itachi.
"Prepare a room for Sakura, preferably one closer to Konan's or my own."
Itachi nodded and made his way out of the room. Pein turned to the rest of the audience.
"The rest of you, gather in the meeting room in 10 minutes."
They nodded, understanding the need to leave Konan and Pein with Sakura alone for a few minutes. Slowly, they rambled out of the room as well. With that done, Pein turned back to his lover and new adoptive daughter.

"Now tell me about yourself Sakura-chan. What do you like and dislike?" Konan asked the little girl in her arms.

She scrunched her face up in thought before she answered brightly, "Well...I like hugs, and I dislikes pain. Oh, and I like you, my new kaa-san and tou-san, and Itachi-san, Tobi-san, Kakuzu-san, Deidara-san, and Hidan-san." She avoided telling her new parents about the existence of her inner self and the certain...problem she had. She was terrified they would discard her if they found out, just like her original parents had.
Are you sure you don't want to tell them? Maybe they can help you?
No...no one can help me...
If that's what you want...
Sakura actually knew who the Akatsuki were. It's not like she was stupid, no matter how timid and small she looked. But to her, anywhere and anyone were good enough. Any one who took her in was nice in her dictionary.

Pein and Konan stood still for a moment, lost in the thought that the only good things Sakura experienced in her life was they, the Akatsuki, whom she met not even five hours ago. It saddened them to no end, and they once again fell in love with this lonely, little, pink-haired girl.
So they silently made a vow, right then and there, to heal their little girl and to never let her experience pain, ever again.

Uh…yea…so how is it? Worth continuing? Or should I end it here?
