I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. I DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP TO NARUTO OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS THIS IS A FAN WRITTEN STORY.
A/N
This is my first ever Naruto Fanfiction! W-wait no comeback I swear I'm not a bad writer! /sweatdrop
Hahaha anyways, I write all the time but this will be my first time attempting a Naruto Fanfiction (I read them like its nobody's business)
I will do my best to keep all the characters in character but I will probably have to tweak Sakura a bit, still keeping her original qualities but shining more light on the quality that compliments her Akatsuki one shot partner C:. I am kind of a stickler on ooc-ness so I will do the best of my ability to keep everyone in character only stretching it for the sake of romance but not so much stretching, just how I feel they would react in the situation of love, that being said, please enjoy C:
Next chapter is going to be a part two of this one with Madara as the love interest.
By the way I know like barely anything on honorifics aside from what I've read in other fanfictions, manga, or watched in anime so feel free to correct me.
Also, this will not follow the original storyline of Naruto 100% b/c in the original storyline Tobi joins the akatsuki after sasori dies, but in my story he is going to join it at the start of the three year gap in between Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. The second year of the three year gap is when this story takes place.
Winter Akatsuki one shots
#1 Snowmen
Tobi
Sakura was a book aficionado, she loved the texture of the smooth thin page between her thumb and index fingers as she continued to crusade through said book, piecing together the mystery romance novel as she went. Sakura was never one to deny herself a good book and once she picked one up she couldn't seem to stop reading it until the mystery was solved, until the end game was absolute. Sakura was on the last chapter of the first novel of a new mystery series, she had already predicted the ending of this particular book but, never one to do something half-heartedly, Sakura decided to push through anyways. Flipping the page, she heard a familiar far off cry and quickened steps rushing closer and closer. Closing her book with a sigh, she untangled her blanket and got up off of the couch.
"Sakuuraaa-chan!" the cry was soon followed with a flash of black and orange as the blur attached his strong arms around her small waist.
"This is the last straw Tobi un! I'm going to blow you up hmm!"
An extremely angry Deidara flew around the corner as his blonde hair practically rose like a wolf's heckles his eyes an rage filled blue. But all Sakura could focus on was how the strong arms around her waist tightened.
"Sakura-chan don't let Deidara hurt me! Tobi's a good boy!"
Sakura sighed, dis-attaching Tobi's resistant arms from around her.
It was about a year or so ago when Tsunade sent Sakura onto this mission having her infiltrate the akatsuki as a spy. For her village Sakura gave it all, her friends, her family, her lifestyle, she could only thank Kami that Naruto wasn't there when she left, he was off training with that pervy sage. She was now listed as a traitor to her village the only people who knew of her mission was the Hokage and a few higher ups. The worst part of it all was that Sakura had no clue how she had gotten so comfortable in her current disposition, she actually, dare she say it, enjoyed being around the Akatsuki. Although they looked really diabolical from the outside, they were actually a really interesting group of people, knowing them personally. Each of the members having their distinctive personalities it was an understatement to say she had gotten used to be around them. While her mission was always her top priority, she decided that she could afford to loosen up and have some fun around these individualistic people.
"What did he do this time?" Sakura said to the blonde as the black and orange man hid behind her.
This type of thing was happening more and more often, she was one of the few members that did not get annoyed by Tobi's hyper active antics and childish ways. In a way, they interested her, Tobi was like a mystery novel to Sakura.
The blonde sneered angrily as he stated his answer "That little piece of shit" he said pointing to the tall man behind her. "Put my clay in my toothpaste tube!"
Sakura's eyes widened looking back at Tobi, his visible dark eye sparkling a bit too malicious betraying his innocent 'little kid' persona. Sakura sighed for what felt like the tenth time that day
"Tobi, why did you put clay in Deidara-san's toothpaste tube?"
"Tobi thought because Deidara-sempai likes clay so much he would want it in there too!"
Deidara growled, glaring up a storm at the swirl masked Akatsuki.
"One day Sakura will not be here to protect you un, And when that happens I'm going to drag your ass across this floor!" He shouted threateningly before he retreated.
It was kind of a rule not to beat each other up around Sakura for the plain fact that it gets her angry and she could be quite destructive when she was angry, so Tobi made it a point to always rush to find Sakura whenever he got in trouble with the other members.
After Deidara left Sakura turned to face the tall mysterious masked Akatsuki, she crossed her arms. Sakura decided to go with the tactic she used on her younger cousins when they always got in a fight over something like this, she found out over the course of her time in this organization that using those life skills were extremely helpful, "Tobi, would you want someone to stuff something you really liked into a toothpaste tube."
Tobi tilted his head tapping his finger on the bottom of his mask in a thinking manner, as if he was tapping his chin.
He then leaned down to Sakura's height so that they were eye level to one another after a couple more seconds of thinking, in Tobi's light hearted manner of speaking he said;
"I don't think Sakura-chan would like being stuffed into a small tube."
Sakura's face went thirty different shades of red as she tried to sputter an answer. As she flailed about a dark chuckle came from '"Tobi's" mask that sent a lightning strike down her spine that set off fireworks in her stomach, his eye met hers and she could see the amused filled malice sparkle in the obsidian depth. Her face then turned to about a hundred different shades of red. It was moments like this when she knew that Tobi was not simply "Tobi"
Tobi then straightened, the lightness and childish façade blanketing once again over him. She couldn't help but to smile as the tall and to strong for his own good, man gave her a tight hug lifting her off of her feet. His touch always seemed to bring tingles to her fingertips and a rush to her veins.
"Thanks Sakura-chan for protecting Tobi~" he singsonged setting sakura down on her feet and then starting to bolt off.
"Tobi." Sakura's one word halted him in his steps and he spinned around to meet her eyes.
"Yes Sakura-chan?"
"Don't cause Deidara any more trouble this week okay?"
Tobi visibly pouted slouching.
"Tobi didn't mean to cause Deidara trouble, Tobi's a good boy!"
Sakura smiled warmly at her pouting friend "I know."
Those two words returned his enthusiasm and he straightened up cheerfully as he
dashed off after giving her a wave.
Sakura then took up her chair curling her legs underneath her as she wrapped her faux fur blanket around her. For a moment sakura looked outside wondering when it was going to stop snowing. Although she returned to her book her thoughts veered away and back to Tobi. He was an anomaly to her, although Tobi looked simple she knew that was far from the case. Over the last year she had heard only a handful of times his voice grow dark and his whole persona seeming to darken as he gave off powerful chakra waves, his sheer power was almost suffocating. Tobi was much like a mystery book to Sakura she just could not figure him out. Among the members of the Akatsuki only a couple (namely Zestu, Pein, and Kisame) seemed to know more about Tobi than the others. Sakura noticed that Tobi was careful not to slip up on his lighthearted persona around others including her, which is why she had seen it only a couple of times, by this action she assumed that that extremely powerful form being his true form. Possibly she was just over thinking it all because of her love for mystery books but she was pretty sure there was more to Tobi than originally let on, and like any other mystery enthusiast, Sakura was drawn to Tobi, she wanted to figure out Tobi more than anything. Sakura was also not one to deny something like feelings; she felt that to deny one's feelings was weakness. Sakura knew she was drawn to Tobi a bit more than she should be to any S-ranked criminal. Yes, Sakura had a crush on Tobi, an S-ranked Akatsuki member. She remembered the first time she had heard his true voice.
Sakura was summoned by Pein, it was 5 months into the undercover mission and she was still hesitant around the others. As Sakura approached the door to Pein's office she heard an unfamiliar deep raspy tone that ignited something deep within her stomach. Pushing that feeling aside she listened intently.
"Yes, Right now the main mission of the Akatsuki is to complete this, we need chakra sacrifices in order for this to work." The deep voice stated in a commanding tone but still smooth and devilishly intoxicating the equivalent of cyanide laced dark chocolate.
"Understood, I suppose I shall send Kisame and Itachi then to retrieve?"
Sakura peeked through the crack of the door her face blanching when she saw none other but Tobi! To Sakura's horror Tobi's eye locked onto hers and she knew she was caught.
"It seems as if a little kitten lost its way…" he said his cyanide chocolate tone caressing her ears
A second later the door flung open and the heavy man hug/tackled her.
"Sakura-chan's here!"
in an instant, his voice returned to the…normal(?) High pitched tone and all of his chakra was once again concealed as the pure diabolical aurora seemed to be purged all together.
It was ever since then that Sakura couldn't help but to want to know more about that masked man, to hear his dark voice caress her ears once more. Sakura was completely and totally enthralled. The more Sakura thought about the alluring masked man the more she needed to figure out this mystery.
Sakura returned her thoughts back to the book in her hand she soon finished that book, the end game just like she knew it was going to be. Sakura then reached over to the side table and placed the first book onto it taking the second book into her had, addicted needing to see what happens next. She read and read and read, the sunset bidding her goodbye and her only company was then her book, the moon and stars above, and the slowly falling snow returning to its family who waited on the earth below. Sakura was determined but soon sleep won out as she fell asleep head resting on the arm rest short pink hair splayed out around her like a halo, book on the floor from where she dropped it in sleep, her other hand held fast on the blanket.
As Sakura was asleep a familiar guest walked in the room seeing the light was on only to turn it off, but he paused when he saw the deceptively frail looking form of the pink haired girl. Taking naturally quiet steps over he lifted the light figure into his arms like a princess. As the masked Akatsuki opened the door to Sakura's room he then placed her in bed tucking the covers around her. As Madara then turned to leave he felt a light tug on his cloak, he turned around to see a sleep ridden and slightly disheveled Sakura.
"Tobi" she said her voice groggy, she smiled warmly at him her eyes showing that look, that familiar warmth that they have when the two of them were alone, when he would accidentally slip up and use his regular voice. When he would cling to her in a tight hug. Those eyes so full of….something. Madara couldn't put his finger on it for the life of him and it really frustrated him.
"Yes?" He accidentally answered in his true deeper voice.
She gasped in surprise and gave a wider smile her eyes warming even more.
"Lets play in the snow tomorrow Tobi."
Correcting his mistake Madara lightened his tone "Yes! Of course Sakura-chan!"
She let go of his cape as she fell back asleep.
Playing in the snow, how childish Madara thought but at the same time he couldn't get himself to totally mean it, the way Sakura had asked him was so warm and inviting.
Looking down at her form the moonlight giving an alluring glow to her silk skin and pink hair it was almost sinful. After a couple more moments looking down at her Madara then left her room and proceeded into his own.
The next morning Sakura woke up in her bed, she couldn't really remember how she got there, the last thing she remembered was sleeping on the couch. She gave a mental shrug getting out of her bed and then taking a shower. Sakura then dressed in fresh clothes and dried her hair. Walking out of her room she walked to the kitchen, looking at the daylight she could tell it was probably some time around 11 in the morning, how long was she reading last night? Sakura grabbed a water bottle and something simple to munch on.
"Sakuraaa-chan!" She smiled at the familiar voice as she was hug/tackled a moment later.
"Hi Tobi."
"Ready Sakura-chan?" he asked squeezing her tightly before letting her go again.
Sakura blinked in confusion.
"Ready for what Tobi?" She asked tilting her head slightly.
Tobi pouted obviously unhappy with her answer.
"Sakura-chan said she was going to play with Tobi outside today!"
Everything then came back to her, Tobi carrying her back to her bed, yet another slip up of his voice, and then her asking him to….play with her. She mentally face palmed.
"Oh yeah, sorry I totally forgot" she scratched the back of her head smiling sheepishly, "Let me go throw on some boots and a jacket."
Tobi was so eager to go and play outside he was practically bouncing up and down as he followed her like a puppy into her room. She then put on knee high socks and boots. She then felt a heavy material on her back as her arm was picked up and guided through a sleeve she blushed. Tobi was helping her put on her jacket! And he was so close to her. She mentally chastised herself for her thoughts. As she met eyes with him he faltered helping her button it up as a flare of strong chakra burst before receding a second later, and in that second she swore she could see his smug amused expression twinkle in his eye. After hurrying on the rest of her jacket she followed Tobi outside into the knee high snow.
"Lets make a snowman!" Tobi said excitedly. Sakura smiled as she helped him gather snow. About a half an hour later the snow man was made and Tobi ran in to grab eyes and a mouth. He handed Sakura a button for the eyes and they both stuck on the eye buttons at the same time and then he put a carrot as the nose and Sakura put a piece of yarn as the smile. Sakura looked over to Tobi and smiled.
"What next?" she asked. His eye sparkled deviously and Sakura could hardly get a step backwards before her face was covered in snow.
"Snow war!" Tobi battle cried before running for his life. Sakura then too let out a battle cry chasing after the elusive ninja with her chakra enhanced feet. Even with her chakra enhanced bounds Tobi was faster than her. In 7 minutes she totally lost track of him. She stopped and looked around totally lost.
"Sakuraaa-chan!" Tobi tackled her from the left. She gave a yell of surprise jumping out of the way on natural instinct causing Tobi to knock both of them over into the snow. He rolled off of her and lay beside her in the snow. They both caught their breaths puffs of air appearing and disappearing with every breath.
"Sakura-chan" Tobi said sitting up cross legged
Sakura too sat up smiling at him "Yes?"
Tobi then pulled out a black box the size of her palm tied together with white string.
"Tobi got you a Christmas present."
Sakura's face dropped she totally forgot it was Christmas today! Tobi pushed the small black box into her hands
"Open it Sakura-Chan!" he whined impatiently. She smiled at him touched that he went out of his way to buy her a gift.
"Okay" she nodded untying the white string before removing the top of the box.
She gasped, inside the box was a red silk ribbon with beautiful embroidery that looked at least a couple decades old and extremely expensive. Tobi then pushed Sakura's Hitai-ate to her neck and took the beautiful red silk; he then tied it in a bow on her head. She blushed peering through her lashes at him as she touched the side of the ribbon.
"Tobi" she murmured looking a bit embarrassed "I forgot to get you something…" she finished averting her eyes.
"I know what Sakura can give Tobi." Tobi mused light heartedly. Sakura then looked up questioningly. Tobi then placed his gloved hand lightly over her eyes. Sakura furrowed her brows confused at the motion, she was about to protest when a soft pair of lips grazed her own making her gasp. In Sakura's stomach fireworks exploded the small motion leaving her lips tingling and her heart skipping a beat. Sakura immediately leaned in unconsciously wanting more of the soft pair of lips. Tobi's other hand held the back of her head his fingers intertwined in her soft pink hair. He peppered three short light kisses on her lips before coming down for the forth time Sakura then to his surprise wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed her lips onto his for a heated needy kiss. He returned the kiss with as much fervor as she. Tobi entangled his fingers into her hair enjoying the feeling of the ends of her pink hair brushing against and tickling his bare wrists. A bit later they broke apart leaving Sakura gasping for breath. Tobi removed his fingers from her hair, running them through her pink locks slowly as if to savor the feel of her hair. Tobi then took his hand away from Sakura's eyes and all Sakura could see of Tobi's face was his smirking full lips before the mask hid that too.
"Tobi…" she murmered.
"Sakura-chan's lips are so soft!" Tobi said. He then removed his glove his fingers pressing against her heated cheek.
"Sakura-chan looks cute when she blushes."
As Sakura then went ten shades redder there came a dark chuckle from Tobi sending shivers she couldn't repress down her spine. Sakura's stomach butterflies were in an uproar feeling the callused hand upon her face and the dark eye trained on her face. Tobi's thumb ran slowly over the corner of her lips as if committing the texture to memory sending another wave of shivers down her.
Tobi then removed his hand and put his glove back on. Standing up suddenly he poked her in the shoulder.
"Sakura's it!" he yelled delightedly before taking off at the speed of light.
"Tobi's such a tease." Sakura huffed to herself before picking her cold butt up out of the snow and walking back to the base.
Fin.
A/N
Well I hope you liked it! Writing fan fiction, although time consuming is very fun.
After I write on Madara for next chapter who should I do next?
