"Damn… I'll wake up now. Stupid alarm…" Sakura yelled hitting the alarm clock. "Shit I have to get to work or Tsunade- sama will be seriously mad". Sakura started dressing up with the usual clothes and she walked towards the kitchen. She was going to pour some coffe but she realized she was running out of time. She put the cup down and walked out of the kitchen through the lobby and left the house. She started running down the stairs and hoped she's not going to be late.
'Look at poor Sakura…. She really can't hold her sake. I bet your head feels all dizzy.' Inner said laughing.
Grr would you shut up?! Anyway it's just Naruto's fault. Only if he didn't dragged me with him at that bar last night…. Sakura thought cursing the blond boy in her mind.
Sakura continued her usual path while arguing with Inner. She could swear her head will explode from so much thinking.
"Oi, Sakura- chaaaaaan!" Naruto yelled waveing at her.
That Naruto…. He looks..normal…ugh I hate him! Sakura thought walking to him.
Naruto wanted to hug her but Sakura punched him sending him seven meters back.
"Sakura- chan, what was that for?" Naruto asked with a sulk but Sakur gave him a death glare "Wooah….anyway Temari wanted to know if you can come to her anniversary tonight ."
"It's already her birthday? I thought it's on…"
"Noo." Naruto stopped her." On this day, one year ago, she and Shikamaru got together." Naruto explained "But I thought I already told you yesterday…" At this Sakura snaped and punched him once again "YOU GOT ME TOO DRUNK, BAKA! Anyway I gotta go or Tsunade- sama will kill me. I'll see you tonight then. Bye Naruto! She started running again "But today is…" Naruto wanted to say but she didn't heard him.
She was in front of the Hokage Tower when she stopped running and sighted. She walked slower on the stairs trying to catch her breath. When she got there Shizune was yelling at the Tsunade that seemed asleep. "Oh, Sakura" Tsunade said "Um… what are you doing here?" she asked with a curious face. "I thought…don't you have a misson for me?" Sakura asked confused. "Dear, it's Saturday…it's a free day." Tsunade said with a worried face. She loved Sakura but sometimes she really needed to relax."
WHAT?! I came here for nothing? Damn that alarm…I usually turn it off in every Friday night…oh, yeah, I was drunk. Now what I'm gonna do all day?
"You could go at the hospital to see if you are needed." Tsunade sounded as if she read her mind. "Good idea. Thanks Tsunade." She said and left the room.
It was a good thing that the hospital was so close to the Hokage Tower. Her feet and head and belly hurt like hell.
"Good morning" Sakura said as she walk in the room." May I help you with something today?"
"Sakura-san. Oh, no. it's pretty calm today. We don't have pacients." A nurse said. Sakura sighed "Thank you anyway. I'll go now" she said and walked oot of the hospital.
It's a nice day…I might just go to a park and relax…
In the end the girl decided to go home, take a nap and prepare for the party.
It was finally 8 pm and Sakura was on her way to the bar. She was happy for her friends, but she also was envious. Shikamaru was with Temari, Naruto with Hinata, Ino with Kiba and she was still waiting for Sasuke, even though she knew it was a waste of time hoping that he will come back to Konoha, more importantly to her. She needed to stop thinking about him or she'll get a headache.
"Hi forehead girl. You' re finally here" Ino said dragging Kiba after her.
Poor Kiba... Sakura thought and started laughing. Naruto, that just got there with Hinata, started laughing too and in no time everyone was laughing without even knowing why. Temari wanted to say somethink so she yelled at everyone to shut up.
"So Shikamaru, dear, wanna say something?" Temari asked.
"…..troublesome woman" Shikamaru said with a light blush on his cheeks.
The night went on fast, too fast, Sakura could say. She decided to take a walk. It was just 1 am after all. The night is kinda cold….The winter is coming.
Meanwhile with the Aktsuki
"Deidara-SENPAAAAAI" Tobi said enthusiastically.
"WHAT ARE YOU YELLING FOR? I'm right next to you, un!"
"Itachi-san, Hidan-san and Kisame-san too. Tobi wanna shou you something!"
"Get over with, un."
"Hn."
"What the fuck do you want?"
"C'mon, Tobi. I wanno go back to my drink."
All four waited as Tobi waves some hand signs. For a minute nothing happened and then.. "Tobi. I'm. Gonna. Kill. You. Un." Deidara said in a deadly calm voice. "NOO. Tobi is a good boy."
Kisame laughed, Hidan stared and Itachi smirked. "I can't (fucking) believe he transformed you into a cat, Deidara." Kisame and Hidan said in the same time.
"Shut up. I'm gonna kill him with my own – own paws…TOBI CHANGE ME BACK TO NORMAL NOW, UN!"
"Now…SORRY, DEIDARA- SENPAI." Tobi waved the signs one time, two times " Tobi doesn't know why…"
" TEMEEEE.." Deidara yelled and jumped on his head, scratching him.
"Stop." Itachi talked for the first time. He oppend his eyes as his companions turned to look at him. " He would be perfect for our plan to kidnap that kunoici, Tsunade's student, to lure the Kyuubi brat here. She would not be able to let a little scardy cat outside in this cold." He said in a calm monotone voice. Everyone look back at cat Deidara as he oppend his mouth to refuse.
"I…" he started.
"You will remain like this until Tobi finds a way to turn you back so it would be foolish not to take advantage of this situation." Itachi looked straight in Deidara's eyes " and it would not be wise to oppose to what I say."
Deidara hissed, shot a dagger glare to Tobi but conformed to what their unofficial leader said.
WithSakura
Lost in her thoughts, Sakura realized she was getting further in the woods.
Eh, it's fine. It's just a 20 minutes walk. She squeezed her coat around her trying to get more warmth. Sakura started walking back towards the village as she heard a solf 'meow'. She turned around and saw a yellow little cat. Becouse it was cold she decidet to take it home with her. The cat started running in th opposite direction. Sakura decided to catch the cat.
'Yush! I got her to come after me' Deidara thought grinning.
"Such a fast cat….Damn this just got serious" she said. She transmited chakra to her feet, running faster. After some agonizing minutes Sakura managed to catch the cat. "You're one fast cat, you know?" Sakura said triumphant.
'Dammit, She caught me, un.' Deidara thought.
Sakura got near the village and Deidara started paniking. He got to make her follow him to the other Akatsuki members. He wanted to scratch her so he looked up. He was surprise when he realized he couldn't move. 'S—She looks so beautiful in the light of the moon. Her pink hair looks so fluffy, un.' Deidara stared at the girl. Sakura looked at the cat thinking that he looks so much like her friend Naruto with that yellow furr and blue eyes. No…those eyes are a dark blue, like the sky at night, but somehow they have more light in them. Sakura thought and blushed. Great... I'm falling in love with a cat ahaha. Oh, well, at least I won't be alone anymore. She looked at the cat and smiled.
'What was that b-dump just now, un?!' Deidara wondered a bit shocked.
Sakura unlocked the door and they were finally safe from the cold night.
