The Akatsuki Life

A Tatsukami-san creation

(Sakura's about 18 now she's anbu rank)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.

"Sakura, I have a very important, and dangerous, mission for you. Don't tell or show anyone it." Tsunade said taking out a small scroll. Sakura stood in front of her sensei, eager to see what kind of mission she was to receive. She took the scroll from Tsunade.

"You are dismissed." Tsunade said and shuffled some papers around. "Oh and Sakura, if you have any questions feel free to ask me."

"Okay." Sakura said and bowed. She walked out of her teachers' office and put her scroll in the pocket with her kunai's.

'Yes! Finally, a good, exciting mission! I haven't had one of these for AGES!" She went straight to her home.

"Tadaima!!" She yelled and took off her shoes. Sakura didn't even bother waiting for an answer. She went straight to her room.

"Okaeri." Her mother said while dicing some potatoes; not really paying attention to her own daughter.

Sakura removed her kunai and shuriken pouches and placed them on her desk, but removed the scroll. After a long day, she needed relaxing so she jumped on her bed sending her organized bed into a complete mess. She smashed her face in her pillow and squirmed around.

She turned on her back and relaxed for about ten minutes thinking about her day. She went through some injured ninjas and did some more training with Naruto; he for some reason wanted to see how much stronger she had gotten. She sat up cross-legged and reached for the scroll. She opened it and laid it out on her wrinkled bed.

Haruno Sakura,

You have been given a top-secret mission; spy on the Akatsuki and gather information on what they want to do with the Biju's.

You will remain there for a year. Get use to their lifestyle and find out any other information.

You will leave the next day you get the scroll.

Be careful Sakura.

Tsunade :3

'Always putting that little smile next to her name.' she sighed. Sakura often wondered why Tsunade wanted to be Hokage. She didn't have to; that's what Sakura wondered the most.

Snapping back to reality, she began restocking her supply of medicine, creams, bandages, shurikens, kunais, letter bombs, and any other weapons and medical supplies she could think of.

'Oh gosh, I just now realized, I'll be working with the most feared ninja's! S-class criminals! Will they kill me?" Now, Sakura didn't really want this mission now. 'No. You're an Anbu now Sakura. You'll take every mission and you'll complete it too.' She told herself.

She packed an extra set of clothes in a backpack, just in case. Sighing, she plopped on her bed and look at her alarm clock beside her. It read 9:00.

"I'd better get a lot of rest, tomorrow's going to be a very busy day." She whispered to herself. She let out one more sigh before trying to fall asleep.

The following day…

"Tsudane-sama, I'll be leaving if there's nothing else." Sakura said.

"No, that is all. You may leave now." Tsunade said.

Sakura bowed before turning to leave.

"Sakura!" Tsunade called out. "Be careful, ok?"

"Hai." She turned and left. Sakura stood at the Konoha gates and looked at her village. It would be the last time until her mission was over. In a year.

It was about 5:30 when she left. The cold morning air stung her cheeks. The last time she left for a mission this early was with Shika and some others. The mud made a squishing noise below her feet.

'This is horrible condition to be traveling in. I can't tell if any other shinobi are trying to sneak up on me.' Sakura thought. 'They'll most likely mask their chakra too. I'd better go in the forest to be safe.'

Sakura turned to her left and jumped in a tree. She looked at where her location was and continued. About 2 hours into her trip, she sensed a huge chakra just a little northeast of her current location.

'I'd better go check that out.' She thought and went towards the huge chakra source. She masked her own chakra and hid behind a tree. She looked over her shoulder and saw a black cloak with red clouds on it. She quietly took off her Konoha headband and a kunai and made a scratch where the symbol was, to prove that she was no longer a ninja from Konoha. She put it back on when the Akatsuki member heard her.

"Come out. I know you're there." He said.

'Shit!' Sakura cursed at herself. 'Why do you always have to be so noisy!' She calmly obeyed his orders, hoping not to get killed.

"Who are you and why are you following me?" The Akatsuki member spoke.

Sakura looked up at him, but found that she couldn't see his face due to the straw hat.

"My name is Haruno Sakura. I'm a medical ninja and I want to join your organization, Akatsuki."

"Where were you from, un?"

"Konoha. I was a pupil of Tsunade, but I surpassed her." She said. Hopefully by saying she passed Tsunade, which she did, would make them want to take her in.

"What make you think that we would want you, un?" The Akatsuki member kept on asking her questions.

"I would be able to heal your members. I'm also a great Genjutsu user." She said.

"Hmph. Come with me, un." He said and walked towards the base, which was still a long way.

Sakura kept as much distance as possible from her and him, but not too much.

"Kunoichi," he said, "keep up or I'll leave you behind." He jumped into the trees and sped off. Sakura sighed and jumped in the trees. In a few moments she was beside the Akatsuki member.

"So what's your name?" she asked trying to make the time go by.

"Why do you want to know, un?" he asked.

"Because I told you mine, so you tell me yours."

"Deidara, the one who 'killed' Gaara." He said waiting to see what her reaction would be like.

Suppressing her anger, she simply said, "I remember you now, I killed your partner. What was his name again? Oh yeah, Sasori or something like that." She couldn't help but let a tiny smirk out.

"We're almost there." He said. After another 30 minutes, they arrived at a cave, the Akatsuki hideout.

"Stay here. I don't want you being killed." Deidara did some hand seals and a door to the cave opened.

Inside the cave…

"Leader-sama," Deidara said kneeling down in front of his hologram. "A kunoichi from Knoha wants to join, she's also a medic. I think she would be an excellent part of our group, we've been needing a medic for a while."

"Bring her in I'll decide." Leader said.

Deidara nodded and brought in Sakura.

"What is your name?" Leader asked.

"Haruno Sakura." She said. Sakura was asked a series of questions before she was finally accepted.

"Deidara, show her where everything is." He simply said leaving Sakura to him and disappeared.

"Congrats, Sakura-chan, un." Deidara said and handed her a box. She peeked inside and saw it was her Akatsuki uniform.

'I always hated these…'

"Kunoichi, stop daydreaming and follow me, un." Deidara said walking to the main rooms and such.

"This is your room." He said opening the door. It was a fairly large room. It had a small window that had a great view of the forest. She set her backpack and other things down on the bed and rushed to meet up with Deidara.

"This is our new member, Haruno Sakura." Deidara said pointing to Sakura.

She bowed politely. "Nice to meet you."

"This is Itachi, Kisame, and Tobi." Deidara said and Tobi (in the background) yelled "Welcome back Deidara-sempai!" while waving his arms trying to get his sempai's attention. Deidara paid no attention to Tobi, but when he kept on yelling at Deidara, he (Dei) threw a rock at Tobi's head. "Shut up!" he yelled at Tobi. Tobi sat back down and acted like a good boy. (T.T poor Tobi)

"Any questions?" Deidara asked Sakura. "Oh a by the way, you'll also be cooking our meals too. You can't just be a medical nin after all." He said smirking at Sakura. Sakura made a pout (: ) at Deidara and went to her room. Once in her room, she sat on her bed and stared out her window for a long time, just thinking.

15 minutes later…

Without knocking, Deidara came into Sakura's room and closed the door behind him. He was surprised to see that Sakura had fallen asleep in such a short amount of time. He looked at her sleep, and decided to wait until she woke up. So he grabbed a chair and sat down in a corner.

Half an hour later…

The sun's golden rays shone directly n Sakura's eyes. She lifted up her hand to shield her eyes, but found it impossible to fall back asleep. Sighing, she lifted the blanket that was covering her.

'Wait, I don't remember having a blanket.' She thought, her eyes wide open. She sensed a chakra near the door and quickly looked over there. There she saw a smirking Deidara looking directly at her. His bright blue eyes met her shiny emerald green ones and it felt like it couldn't move. She shut her eyes and let out the loudest scream she had.
