Hello again. Here's one of my next stories which includes ItaSaku. I rated it M because of the language used and a few scenes. I know I don't excel at writing in english because it is not my mother tongue. I'm from Romania so it's pretty hard. Take it easy on me ok? Please Review and Reply.
CHAPTER 1 - A SWEET FRAGRANCE
"MISSING NIN WANTED! MURDER OF KONOHA! SAKURA HARUNO, AGE 21, MEDIC NIN!"
That's what was writen on one of the posters spread through Konoha and all the other villages and organizations. The woman let the
poster fall out of her hand freely. "Guess this is the end." thought Sakura when she was leaving the Leaf. "Or not."
"I couldn't let them find out the truth. I will do all it takes to defend the pure truth behind everything."
"Huh what is that?" one of the Akatsuki members asked. Tobi, Deidara, Sasori and Hidan were gathered at the gate of the village of
the Mist. "Wow. Who's that?" Deidara couldn't stop himself. "Missing nin wanted! Konoha? Seriously? A woman?"
"Konoha?" asked Tobi.
"Yeah. It's writen here. Murder of Konoha. Hey isn't this Itachi's village?"
"Uh-huh." Sasori said emotionless.
"What does it say Deidara?" asked Hidan.
"It says...Missing nin wanted! Murder of Konoha ! Sakura Haruno, age 21, Medic nin!"
"Huh? Sakura...Haruno? Sasori knew very who she was.
"You know her?" asked Tobi.
"She's the one who made me like this. I'm telling you, she's not a weaklin." Sasori glared at the piece of paper.
"Who do you think she killed?" asked Hidan.
"It doesn't say. Though she's pretty. Look here. She has long pink hair. Pink? What the...?"
Meanwhile they were talking they saw a sillouete in front of them. The Akatsuki took glance and afterwards they continued their
discussion. Slowly the sillouete closed the distance between them and passed by a few meters. The person had a black cloack and
two locks of pink hair could be seen under the hood. However the Akatsuki didn't see anything, they just smelled. The fragrance of
cherries drew their attention.
"Hey there. Are you a girl?" asked Deidara. "You have a nice smell." The sillouete stoped.
"It seems we found a new fun." said Hidan. The person turned around but didn't do anything.
"Akatsuki." that is all the person said.
"And she has a sexy voice too." whispered Deidara to Tobi.
"Remove your hood. Who are you?" said Sasori.
"You wish you hadn't met me." her voice could be hardly heard but the members still heard her.
"Pretty arrogant, aren't we?" mumbled Sasori.
"My reputation doesn't allow me to listen to other's orders. Got a problem with that?" The girl rose her head to look at them. All
the members could see were her green-emerald eyes glittering under the hood. "However...I'll let you take a look." She removed the
hood and dropped the cloak.
"Whoa! Isn't she...?"
"Haruno Sakura." a voice said from behind the members.
"Oh? If it isn't Sasori from the Sand. Am I right?" She whispered with a husky voice knowing that he could hear her.
"To get on a Wanted Poster you must have done something extremely bad." said Tobi.
"Of course. I killed a lot of people." Sakura smirked at them.
"Who exactly?" Tobi asked again.
"So many questions... I'm afraid you won't get your answers. Well at least not today." chuckled Sakura. A small cold breeze passed
by them fluttering their cloaks. Sakura bent over after her cloak and covered herself with it. She turned around about to leave.
"Where do you think you're going?" yelled Deidara.
"My time is way too precious to lose it with some losers." when they heard what she said the Akatsuki members frowned not really
glad regarding her answer. Tobi stepped forward.
"We might need a shinobi like you in our organization. Interested?" the offer that Tobi made to Sakura made her stare intensely at
the other members. She was waiting for an unexpected attack.
"What makes you think that I would want to be part of your little charade? You guys are worthless. You only care about those
bijuu's and their jinchurikis." She was merciless with her words.
"If you agree you can do what you want as long as you help us too. You won't lose anything. However if you don't agree..." Tobi
made a little pause..."We'll have to kill you. So it's your decision whether you want to join or not...but it will have
consequences." he ended his speach by retreating near the rest of the group.
"Hn...You do have a point here. But what makes you think that you can kill me? You don't even know what I can do." Sakura already
made her mind up.
"We're more numerous than you...after all you're on your own. So why not accept?" Deidara was ready to attack her.
"Alright. I'll join you however...You'll have to give me a few answers at my questions. Deal?" She yawned. "So tired."
"Deal. Let's head to the hideout for now. I'll tell you a few things regarding the organization."
"Hn...Just a question...Is Uchiha Itachi still in the organization?" Sakura asked looking ahead while jumping from tree to tree.
"Oh someone likes Itachi." said Deidara and after he soon regreted it as Sakura's fist collided with his left cheek. "Hey ! That
was uncalled for."
"Why are you asking?" Tobi glanced for a while at Sakura.
"It seems I have some good news for him."
"Why do you say so? Something regarding his family, specifically Sasuke?"
"Hn...kind of...But I'll only tell this to him. You know, it's something personal." She smirked as she followed the members to the
hideout. They arrived after a few hours of continuously running. It wasn't something special on the outside as Sakura saw,
actually it was pretty simple.
"We're here, but it seems we're the only ones here. How about we get to business dear Sakura?" Sakura frowned at his question.
"Take a seat."
"Like I said, drop the cutesy. It won't work on me. Now tell me the important things and skip the useless details." Tobi gave up
on what he wanted to say to her and continued as Sakura sat on one of the chairs.
"I'll be giving you tomorrow your cloak and clothes. Here's our organization ring, consider it a symbol of it. There are no rules
regarding who you want to kill just announce beforehand. So that it doesn't mess with our missions. Got it?" He gave her the
supposed ring and by mistake touched her skin. She was as cold as ice.
"Anything else?" she said retreating her hand. "Don't mind the coldness."
"This is all. Oh and tomorrow you'll meet the rest of the members."
"Great." her tone was not one of a happy girl. She didn't want to see or meet anyone. She just wanted to take a bath and sleep.
"Now i need to leave for some matter. Guess you can handle yourself around here right? By the way if you make 2 lefts from the
kitchen you'll find a hot spring. It's just a small pond with hot water."
"Hn...My room?"
"Second floor the last door on the right. I'll leave now."
"Ok. See ya." saying these Sakura rose from her seat and began her inspection around the hideout. It had 3 floor with 6 rooms on
each one. Before going upstairs she decided to go find the pond.
"Sooo you've decided to join huh?" Sasori met her along the hallway.
"What's your problem?" Sakura asked not looking at him .
"You almost killed me once and you ask me what my problem is? Seriously?" the red-head was pretty angry and Sakura decided for now
not to make him any angrier.
"Don't take it to heart. Let's say we had a warm-up spar."
"Alright. I'll drop it off for now but remember that I didn't forget." he turned around and left.
"Even if i had to fight you a second time I would still do the same. I won't kill you for now." thought Sakura to herself.
Sakura continued her way towards the hot spring. She entered the small hall leading to the pond and she undressed off her clothes
and put a towel on her body and one on her hair. Slowly she entered in the steamy water being careful of the slippery stones. Her
skin slowly got used to the water's temperature and finally relaxed. However Sakura knew that someone was spying on her.
"You'd better stop spying on people or you're going to regret it. Go away if you don't want to get hurt." Sakura didn't look at
the entrance but she knew the one in cause was Deidara.
"Oh dang. You found me out. Wanna bathe together?" he said smiling at her.
"Hn...I remember that guy, Tobi, told that I can kill anyone as long as it doesn't interfere with your missions. I think he won't
really miss you." Sakura mumbled.
"Fine fine. Have fun bathing alone." saying these the blonde guy left with his tail between his legs.
Sakura washed herself and even swam in the small pond as she had a little bit of space. She leaned on a giant rock and relaxed her
muscles. Thinking about old stuffs she stood and removed the towel on her head and left her hair fall freely on her back. The
towel on her body fell by itself as it was soaked with water revealing her figure and pure skin. She bent over and touched a small
thing on her left thigh which it seemed to be a wound made a long time ago and turned to a scar.
"Who are you?" a voice could be heard in front of her as she was facing the entrance to the pond but she didn't look at the
intruder.
"Hm? I should have known that there are more jerks than that Deidara. Did he run through the hideout and yelled about me?"
"I asked you a question." the man's voice was low and husky and Sakura figured he started to get angry. She looked up to the guy
who was talking to her. She froze the moment her emerald green eyes caught dark onyx eyes showing everything but emotion. Then she
realized who she was looking at. It was no other than Uchiha Sasuke's older brother, Itachi.
"You should know who I am. Don't you? Uchiha-san." whispered Sakura. She stood in front of him not moving once inch as she kept
talking. "It's common sense to know your old friends right?"
"Haruno Sakura. What are you doing here?" his voice was not calm anymore. He moved his eyes from her face and looked at her body
for a while. After a few seconds he stared at her again.
"I joined Akatsuki as you can see." Sakura bent over and took the towel floating in the water and wraped it around her body. She
began to walk towards the Uchiha standing by the entrance.
"A little girl like you...?" Itachi didn't get to finish his sentence as he was pushed to the wall in an instant as her hand almost grabed his neck. Itachi was using genjutsu on her and she was caught with her guard down.
"A little girl? Do I look like a little girl to you Uchiha?" Itachi's face was emotionless when she said his name without using
the honorific. "I'm already 21 so it's my decision if I want to join Akatsuki or not. And don't use that little shit of jutsu
cause it won't work on me." Itachi used his right arm to bind her hand above her head. This time she was the one pushed to the
wall.
"Don't get in our way or you're going to get hurt little girl."
"Pretty talkative are we huh? Don't concern yourself with me Uchiha or you won't catch the tomorrow." Itachi weakened his grab and
removed his hands when he heard Kisame enter the hot spring. Itachi took one step behind to allow her some space.
"I think it's enough with this quarreling." butted in Kisame. "Haruno-san...are you finished with your bath?"
"Hn...I'm going to sleep. Tell that leader of yours that I'll see him tomorrow." Sakura yawned and left but not before giving the
Uchiha one last glance which showed only hate. The same as his brother.
"Who is she Itachi-kun?" asked Kisame.
"Just a little girl who doesn't what she got herself into." as Itachi finished his statement he left Kisame by himself knowing
that he wanted to bathe before going to sleep.
