A/N: Hi everyone. Long time no speak. I decided to scratch out this very old fanfiction of mine and publish It. I hope you guys like it. It is a twister.

I am highly aware that there is spelling errors. My Wordpad does not have a spell check...

This fanfiction goes out to all my Itasaku friends and all the new friends that I will hopefully be making. Enough about that. On with the show

Prologue

The sounds of screams and metal clashing against metal sheared through the silent night of Konoha. The early formed Akatsuki with the early members such as Orochimaru was having their way with the villagers. They killed half of the village out. Half of the Shinobi's that stayed alive, stood to protect and help what was rest of the village.

Orochimaru wiped out the whole Haruna clan except for one little pink haired girl hiding in the closet. She watched as Orochimaru killed her mother and father while they died protecting the knowledge of her wear abouts.

After the horrible night, Konoha worked hard on building up their defences.

Even during this time, the Uchiha-clan decided against the whole idea of overthrowing Konoha's superiors. Instead the Uchiha-clan works together with Konoha's best shinobi's to fight the Akatsuki.

Sakura grew up differently. The heavy burdain of revenge weighing on her shoulders. She left Konoha shortly after joining Team 7 to join the Akatsuki and to grow stronger

Chapter 1

A snake in the grass

I could feel his snake shaped eyes glaring at me. I could see my terrified reaction in the reflection of his gaze. It felt like he was piercing my very soul with his dark red eyes. I was paralyzed. My legs didn't want to listen to my brain... I want to move but I couldn't. What do I do... What do I do?

He moved closer to me. Crawling on his belly just like God punished him from the beginning, leaving s-trail imprint on the sand behind him ... oh noooo...

He slowly climbed on me, encircling me from toe to head. His cold blooded skin slithered against mine. His snake body tightening as he goes along.

I wanted to scream but his body is so heavy, it puts so much pressure on my longs and it is impossible to pull my vocal cords into the ability to make a sound. I am absolutely terrified...

Is this how I am going to die? Is this how I am going to spend the rest of my life? Or at least the last 5 minutes I have left of it? How could I let Him defeat me like this? It's not fair in the least.

Breathing is became even harder on my longs. It's harder to pull in air then to let go.

Tears are streaming down my face one for one as my life flashes by. I start remembering all good memories. All the laughter and joy that made me human on this earth. I remembered the fact that I still want a lot of good memories to come

I was completely immobilized with fear, terrified of this unforgivin beast

"Sakura, Why so quite" Orochimaru hissed in my ear.

Hearing the sound of my name come out of his mouth just made my skin crawl. Like a final knife in my heart... Like the final nail hammered into my coffin in slow motion.

My fingers were numbing and my legs no longer could support my weight as he squeezed tighter around me.

"SSsssssssssssssssssaaaakurrra" he hissed out slowly and softly

My body is completely numb now; every piece of muscle is completely immobilized. He faced me... his face didn't look a day older then the picture I saw that was taken about 20 years ago. His chalk white face shining with pure pleasure. His eyes red with excitement. He pulled back his lips flashing a white glistening smile with 2 fangs standing out, dripping with poison

...oooohhhh nooo... He is coming closer with these fangs of his...

...He is gona bite...he really is gonna bite me!...

"Sakura!"

My eyes shot open by the sound of my name. Lucky for me its not the same voice as the terrible dream I just had.

"Sakura"

"What is it, Tobi?"

Tobi's orange mask inches away from my own would have seem disappointed in the lack in enthusiasm showed in the response that I just gave him. He tried not to let that get to him.

It always made me wonder, what face lies behind that weird spiral orange mask. Why he never ever takes it of.

"Its morning. And you seemed to be having a nightmare" Tobi said, with an outstretched hand.

I ignored the gesture and got up without his help. Tobi seemed a bit offended at this but brushed it of. In some times I wished the Akatsuki did not work in groups as it did but it was one of the rquirements of working for them, I needed to work with a team members. That's how I got paired up with Tobi. The man with the orange mask.

The motel that we were sleeping was close to one of the countries that we still had to infiltrate to look for the Jinchuuriku, it was a pain looking for all of them. Since it took me forever too reach my target goal.

Orochimaru.

I joined the Akatsuki team to only find out that he left it long ago to go about his own thing. I joined it also to be closer to my target which was him. After the shock of finding out that he was not a part of the Akatsuki anymore, I decided to stay. To become stronger and be more powerfull for the day when I do encounter the snake sannin one day.

I picked up my red clouded cloak and went to the bathroom to shower. I dressed in my clean atire and camme out again. Tobi was doing something of his own but I did not pay any mind to it. After finishing up in the motel (paying the hostess and such) we left. It seemed like word does not travel that fast of the Akatsuki.

Leaving the town, Tobi gained speed untill he was exatly infront of me walking backwards, I would have imagined his imaginary eyes was staring at me. This carried on for a while untill I couldn't take it anymore...

"What!" I barked. Clearly annoyed.

"No, its nothing" he defended quickly. Something clearly on his mind.

"What is it Tobi!" I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Why did you join the Akatsuki? Tobi was wondering since we always travel together but never get the chanse to talk"

I kept silent and walked again.

Few raindropps dripped through the filtering tree branches. The sky became grey quickly. I hate the rain. It's the type of weather condition that made all moods depressed in one way or another. I took the hooded part of my cloak and covered my pink hair before any real damage could be done.

"Okay Tobi is sorry"

The quest of the Jinchuuriku won't be easy.
