Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Chapter 1

The ground beneath her shook causing her to lose her balance. She fell with a thud, trying to determine what had caused the momentary unstable rocking of the earth. Slowly, she stood up and made her way outside her home. It would seem she was not the only one to experience the unexpected rocking of the earth. There were people running about, clearly panic striken.

Deciding what would be the best course of action, Sakura ran to the villagers, explaining that it was nothing but a minor earthquake. But she knew it was none of that. There was a massive chakra that ran underground during that short movement. It could have been an attack on the village, but it seemed to only pass by. She could barely sense the destructive force behind the chakra signal, meaning it was either dying, or it was far from the village.

A movement on the rooftop of a nearby home caught her attention. A man in a mask. An ANBU nodded to her before disappearing. It was a message from the Hokage, and almost immediately, Sakura ran towards the direction of the tower. Something was wrong, and something about that chakra was familiar, but she could not quite put her finger to it.

When she made it to the hokage tower, she found a handful of shinobi in her teacher's room. Team Kakashi (except for Naruto who was currently training) , former Team Asuma, as well as Kiba, Neji, and Rock Lee, were all present. Shikamaru was standing in front of Tsunade's desk, flicking the lighter that once belonged to his deceased sensei on and off. Slowly, Sakura made her way through the crowd, standing between Kakashi and Sai.

Certain that all requested shinobi were present, Tsunade cleared her throat, "Now, as you are all aware of, a few moments ago, there was a massive chakra that traveled underground, strong enough to move the earth itself. This has caused a panic amongst the villagers, assuming it was an immediate and unexpected attack upon our village. However, I have asked a few of our shinobi to assure the villagers that there is no attack being placed upon our village."

Kakashi took a step back, leaning against the window, hands in his pockets, "The question is, whose chakra was it that every shinobi in the village felt?" His visible eye traveled among the group before him, three whose bodies grew rigid at his question.

Shikamaru turned to them, walking to stand beside the hokage's desk, "Ino, Choji, and I are familiar with the chakra. It has been three years, but I can't ever forget that chakra." He gritted his teeth, "Hidan, a member of the Akatsuki. The one who killed Asuma-sensei. I checked, just to make sure, and sure enough, there was a disturbance in our clan's land. Hidan is no longer in th e hole I left him to die in."

"Get a grip on yourself Shikamaru. Don't let your anger blind you from the matter at hand," Tsunade took a deep breath. She knew just what Asuma's students must feel, but that would only interefere with the mission she had in mind. "We know that the Akatsuki are still after Naruto and the nine-tails inside him, but he's currently trianing."

"We can't just let him run around freely! If we have to kill him again, we will! Anything to justify Asuma-sensei's death!" Choji clenched his hands into fists. Ino placed her hand on his shoulder., trying to calm him down. She, too, was upset about the news, but new better to keep her emotions in check.

Kakashi interrupted them, "You want us to gather intel on this."

Tsunade nodded, "Team Kakashi, I want you to head to the direction where the chakra signature was headed, take Kiba and Neji with you. Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, and Lee, there is a rumored shrine, where Hidan is said to come every so often to pray, I want you four to head over there, ask any neighboring village regarding that shrine and what the Akatsuki member have to do with it. If you encounter him, do not engage in battle unless Team Kakashi arrives for backup. Actually, Sakura, I want you to go with Shikamaru's team. The possibility of them engaging in battle is higher. A medic would be wise to take."

"Alright. Let's all meet at the village gates in one hour," Kakashi said before they were all dismissed. When all the younger shinobi left the room, Kakashi turned to the Hokage who was rubbing her temples with her thumb and forefinger. "Lady Hokage—"

"I know, Kakashi. I have the same feeling, but there is not much we can do. We have to address this problem as soon as possible. One more thing, have one of your summons accompany Shikamaru's team."

Sakura was not sure how they got to the situation they were currently in. One moment Shikamaru was discussing their strategy when a large blade cut through the bushes they were hidden behind. Her shirt was cut across from the back, barely escaping the large scythe that attacked them. Now, she was breathing heavily, glaring at the violet eyes of the silver haired man that Ino had identified as Hidan of the Akatsuki.

"Sakura, be careful! All he needs is a drop of your blood, and you're good as dead!" Sakura positioned herself for an attack, but rethought her actions. The man was both a long range and short range fighter, being able to extend his weapon.

The Akatsuki member let out a laugh, "Damn right you brats! You're all fucking dead!" His eyes snapped to Shikamaru, "You! You're going to make the perfect sacrifice to Lord Jashin! You're going ot fucking pay for what you fucking did to me, brat!" He launched himself to attack, extending the chain on his scythe to attack Shikamaru.

The shadow manipulation ninja managed to dodge to attack, hiding behind the shadow of a tree. Sakura lurched forward, gathering chakra in her fist, aiming to land a solid punch on the enemy, but only to be met with the concrete ground. Her eyes quickly scanned her surroundings, barely able to jump back to avoid the scythe. Lee was soon beside her for support. They were pretty useless in this battle, being both short range fighters.

"Sakura, retreat. We have to wait for Kakashi to get here!" Shikamaru clenched his teeth. As much as he wanted to attack, he simply could not go against the Hokage's orders. He hoped that Pakkun would be able to return soon with Kakashi. It was different this time, and he could feel it. The Akatsuki's attacks were instantaneous, one following after the other, not giving him enough time to think. Ino had to restrain Choji from going on a rampage, he was not thinking as clearly as he should be, and Lee and Sakura were trying to stall until Kakashi arrived with his team.

"Hidan," Shikamaru's eyes snapped to the trunk of a nearby tree, just behind the Jashinist. A figure emerged from the tree, half black and half white, with extensions on either side of his head that looked similar to a venus fly trap. He could only guess it was another Akatsuki member judging by the black cloak with red clouds.

"The fuck do you want Zetsu?" The silver haired man seemed annoyed.

"Our objective has changed. Grab the girl, take her to the base."

For a moment Shikamaru thought Ino was in danger, until he heard Lee yell out Sakura's name. His reaction was too late , for the chain of Hidan's scythe had already wrapped around her ankle. Sakura struggled, trying to kick off the chain, but to no avail.

"Get this thing off me, bastard!" Hidan was slightly startled by the expressive word used by such a tiny little girl, but the smirk on his face only widened. He was going to enjoy torturing her once at the base. He watched as the green idiot with the unitard moved to try to help her, "No! Lee, don't! I don't want you to get caught in his jutsu! Get help once Kakashi-sensei gets here."

And before she knew it, the silver haired man had his arm wrapped around her, and it wasn't long until her vision came to a blurr, and eventually blackened.

"Wake the fuck up, bitch." Sakura groaned at the sound of a rather annoying voice. And for once it wasn't Naruto. She just wanted to lay in bed all day, in a soft matress that was too soft to be hers, and a warm blanket that was too warm and snug to be hers. Slowly, realization hit her, and she immediately sat up, but only to hit her forehead on someone elses. "What the fuck was the for?"

Sakura placed her hand over her forehead, her eyes adjusting to the brightness of the room. She moved her hands, expecting to be chained to the wall or the bed, but found nothing. Then, she checked on her arms and found that she had no restraints or whatsoever. The next thing her eyes met, were the same violet ones she clearly remember from her last battle. Her eyes narrowed, "Why did you take me?"

"You should fucking apologize first, bitch. Or I'm going to make you a sacrifice for Lord Jashin. And anyways, like I fucking know, I was following orders," the Jashinist took a good look at the pink haired kunoichi. She was actually quite pretty, and her body wasn't too bad either, aside from her small breasts, but that he could easily overlook.

Sakura almost growled at him. For a religious person, he sure cursed a lot. Then again, his "lord" jashin was questionable, too. "How are you still alive?" it was the once question that she tried to bite off, but failed to do so. As a medic, she knew that there was zero possibility of bringing someone back to life, without the use of reanimation.

"I'm fucking immortal that's why," he smirked, grabbing her by the chin.

Sakura jerked away, giving him a hard glare, "Don't touch me!"

The Jashinist's eyebrow raised, "What's wrong, bitch? Never got touched by a member of the opposite sex?" Sakura blushed at his question. She looked away, at the sound of Hidan's laughter, "Shit, you're a fucking virgin? That's fucking depressing."

"Shut up!" The pink haired kunoichi was on the defensive. Why was she even talking to an S-class rogue ninja? And even worse that he is part of the Akatsuki. She was lost, confused, unsure what to do and where in the ninja world she was. Now that she thought about it, where exactly was she?

Her emerald green eyes scanned her surroundings. Four, plain, white walls, a window beside the bed, a large bed with white sheets, a wooden side table with a small lamp, and a small chair, where Hidan made himself comfortable to sit in. It was all there was in the room. There were two doors, one on the wall opposite the bed, and another to its right. She assumed one of them must lead to a bathroom. "Where am I?" She looked at the Akatsuki member who finally stopped laughing.

"The base of the Akatsuki." It was all he replied before the door to Sakura's right opened. Sakura prepared to gather chakra in her fists, only to fail. Something was restricting her from using her chakra, and for once, she felt like the little girl she was back then; helpless and afraid. Her eyes narrowed at the man who walked in.

Orange hair, piercings everywhere, and eyes that held the Rinnegan. Pein entered with an expression that revealed nothing of his thoughts, "Hidan, you were sent here minutes ago to bring the prisoner to me. My patience has long reached its limit." His eyes flashed dangerously at the Jashinist who seemed to care less, but did nothing threatening glare then shifted in Sakura's direction, "Kunoichi, you're awake. Good."

It took Sakura a few moments to process what was happening. She was at the Akatsuki base, with two of the more powerful members in the same room as her. In a room where she could not use her chakra.; where she could die any moment, and where she felt weak, useless. "What do you want with me?" She barely managed to the find her voice to say her question out loud.

"Kunoichi, you serve us many purposes , which I shall define for you," Pein's voice was monotone. "First, you will heal an Akatsuki member, who was injured during amission, and from then on serve as the medic of the Akatsuki. That, is your proirity. Second, you will provide us intel on the actions of the Hidden Leaf Village. Third, you will serve as bait for the nine-tails. And lastly, you are a perfect candidate as an Akatsuki member. The student of the legendary sannin, a powerful ninja, and friend of the nine-tails jinchuuriki."

It took a few minutes for all of his words to sink in. Sakura's head fell, until she burst into fits of laughter. The two Akatsuki members only watched, and for some reason, a smile tugged on Hidan's lips.

Pein was not amused, "What do you find amusing, kunoichi?"

"It's Sakura," the medic looked up at the Akatsuki leader, eyes filled with unwavered determination, "You honestly expect me to betray my village, and more so, my best friend? I'd rather die."

The Jashinist beside her stood up, pulling out is scythe, "Your wish is my command, bitch." He licked his lips, prepared to make her his sacrifice, but a hand stopped him.

Pein did not move his gaze from Sakura, but his voice grew louder, "You will heal Konan. You will provide us with information, and you will become bait for the nine-tails jinchuuriki. Your choice does not matter. Whether you join the Akatsuki or not, is your decision. If you refuse to do as your told, you will be punished."

Then, he was gone. Sakura glared at the man beside her, who had an amused look in his eyes, "I don't care what you do to me, I will never betray my village."

It was what she decided. She was not going to help the Akatsuki. But when she was taken to an empty, white wall room with nothing but a body on a bed, Sakura's medical instincts kicked in. Konan, a beautiful, blue-haired kunoichi, was asleep. But her breathing was uneven, and ragged. Her skin was pale, almost cold, but she was not dead.

Someone pushed Sakura towards the bed, but she no longer cared who. She had to save her. Her conscience was screaming at her to do so. As soon as she regained her balance, she walked up to the bed, molding her chakra in her hands, and infused it into her body. She ignored the stares that Hidan and Pein were giving her, probably making sure she did not end Konan's life.

It was an hour before Sakura collapsed on the ground on her knees, exhausted. The female member of the Akatsuki was poisioned, but it was something she was familiar with, and could easily remove with her chakra alone, but it required all of her concentration, and almost all of her chakra.

She looked up to find piercing gray eyes looking down at her. Konan stepped out of the bed, fully recovered. And unexpectedly, she offered a hand at Sakura, which the kunoichi hesitantly took. "Sakura-san, I appreciate your help. I hope you reconsider joining the Akatsuki. Another female member would do well for me."

The medic was unable to speak. How did she know her name? And what's more, how did she know she refused to be a part of the group whose goal was to capture her best friend? Her mind was reeling with questions, but was overtaken by the feeling of guilt. Did she betray her village by healing an enemy shinobi? Of course, she did. There was no denying that. "Please, take me back to my room." It was all she could ask for. Time to think.

Someone grabbed her arm roughly. It was Hidan. He was dragging her out the door, but stopped just before they crossed the threshold. "I do hope, you reconsider, Sakura. It's that, or you will feel pain." It was Pein's voice. Another pull from Hidan. Before she could look back, the door had shut behind them.

Sakura tried to pull herself away, but she had no strength left. Only a small amount of chakra, exhausted from healing Konan. "I can walk by myself!" She growled at the sadist.

"You're the first person, aside from members of the Akatsuki, to ever speak to me that way. You're fucking asking for a death wish," Hidan only tightened his hold on him, and Sakura could not help but cry out.

"Let me go!" She pulled herself away, only to to have her hair grabbed rather tightly.

Hidan was smirking. He was amused, and he loved watching her struggle. He had urge to torture her and watch her writhe in pain. This was the first time he found anyone amusing enough not to sacrifice to Jashin. He held her by the hair, before he pushed her against the wall, pressing his body against hers.

Sakura's eyes widened at the contact, her face flushed. She could feel everything. Everything. It was uncomfortable and too close for her liking, but she was far too weak to push him away. He was strong, and his grip on her waist was tight. She was afraid to move even an inch. Something tickled her ear. She could feel his breath on her ear, her neck, and all she could do was close her eyes and hope he did nothing more.

"I'm going to have a lot of fun with you, Sa-ku-ra."

I hope you all enjoyed that. Hidan is my favorite Akatsuki members and I really wanted to write a story about him and Sakura. So we will see where this goes.

Please Review. I would really like feedback to see if I should continue this story!

Thank you:)
