Enjoy
Damn it why can't I ever do anything right? I thought to myself as I ran through the woods crying. Stupid Sai and Naruto always calling me names! Stupid Sasuke never taking me seriously, and stupid Kakashi always thinking that I'm weak.
"I'm so tired of all of them!" I yelled at the top of my lungs not caring who heard me. All of a sudden, I tripped over a long tree root and rolled down a hill of nothing but mud and rocks. I tried to grab a hold of something but everything was slippery. All I could see were rocks and the red clay like mud breaking of and digging into the skin of my finger nails as I dug into the clay like mud. When I finally came to a stop it was only because my stomach slammed into a large bolder and then it happened, I blacked out.
When I finally woke up I was in a room and wrapped up in dull pink quilt with ugly blue bell flowers printed on them. The room was enormous and there were pictures of flowers all around the room. What was with the flowers?
"Where am I?" I said to myself as I tried to move.
"You shouldn't move yet. Your body is badly injured." A woman with blue hair appeared in front of me with, of course, a flower in her hair.
"Who are you?" I asked confused and slightly aggravated from all the flowers.
"A friend of your fathers." The woman said while tending to my wounds.
"You don't have to do that you know I can heal them myself." I said showing her. She gave me a death glare which told me to just let her tend to my wounds.
"Wait, what do you mean you're a friend of my father's? My dad died a long time ago." I told her realizing what she finally said.
"Sakura dear, your father is on his way here now, your real father." She said to me like I had hit my head or something. I had but I didn't hit it that damn hard. I didn't know who this strange lady was but I knew one thing for sure, this lady was crazy!
"Stop messing around how do you know my name?" I asked her more alert now.
"Sakura I know that this is confusing to you but when I found you in the woods covered in mud and cuts I informed your father of the situation and he thinks it would be a good idea if you stayed with him. Konoha is not keeping you safe like we planned it would." Like they planned it would? What in the world was going on?
"Just slow down lady what are you talking about my parents died on a mission a year ago and I have lived in Konoha my whole life."
This lady must be on drugs! Shut it Inner, I yelled trying to figure this lady out.
"Sakura those people were not your parents. They were paid to keep you safe and play a role. I'm guessing that they never told you what they were supposed to during their time alive. Nagato won't be happy about this." She said with a frown.
"W-Who is Nagato?" I asked. She looked at me like I had asked a stupid question.
"The leader of Akatsuki and your father Sakura."
"N-No!" I said trying to get out of the bed.
"What sort of trick are you trying to play?" I couldn't help but to start crying. This was too much. I had no clue what was going on and if what she had said was true what would I tell Naruto how would I go be able to go back to the village?
"You are just like your father when he was younger always crying." She said as she wiped my tears away with her fingers.
"That is something I don't want you telling my daughter." a tall pale man with red hair said as he walked in the room. I backed up to the head board and looked around for some sort of weapon as the man in an Akatsuki cloak came closer to me.
"S-Stay away." I yelled, gathering chakra into my fist.
"Now Sakura is that anyway to speak to your father?" he said taking a seat on the bed next to me.
"You're not my father," I whispered.
"If that were so I would have no problem killing you for being so disrespectful. Tell Konan thank you and let's get going."
"No," as soon as I said it I regretted it right away.
"Let me ask you Sakura, Where do you think your hair color comes from? Surely not those idiots I hired."
"STOP, d-dont talk about them like that." I was scared of the older man in front of me but I wasn't about to let him talk about my parents like that.
"They took care of me, loved me...e-even if you were my father, you weren't there." I could see the slight pain in his eye when I said this.
"Leave," the scary man said the the lady in blue then turned back around to look at me.
"It was the only way to save you Sakura. Or so I thought, you are too weak little one." he went to pat my head and I couldn't help but flinch.
"I am sorry I left sweetheart, but do you honestly believe that your chakra skills are just better than those id- ...two people I had hired?... Here." He handed me a folded up picture of a younger me in his arms next to a pretty blonde woman.
He really is our father, my inner said interrupting again.
"I-I dont know what you want me to say? I don't even know what to call you," I said with tears quickly filling up threatening to fall over.
"Sakura sweetheart you can call me whatever you want."
"Nagato, no it doesn't sound right... D-dad." My tears were completely in full waterworks now.
"The tears will go away once you've grown a little more," he said as he opened the door up to let the lady with blue hair know she could come in again.
"Whats that supposed to mean." I said a little offended.
"Sakura, you are my daughter, you know what it means." He was right, i did. I knew that I was a big cry baby but I just couldn't help it, my emotions are always on a high.
"Lets say our goodbyes and get going." he said/
I didn't want to leave I'd rather stay here with her and all these damn flowers than that man called my father. But I wouldn't tell him that. I said my thanks and I followed him out the door. Once we were outside I noticed that the building we came out of was the Hokage's building for this village. Crossing the street my new father grabbed my hand and pulled me along.
"I'm not a kid you don't have to hold my hand." I yelled trying to pull my hand away.
"You will be sure to do as you're told and stay quite sweetheart is that understood?"
"Yes sir." I whispered more out of fear than anything. As we continued to walk I tripped over a rock. My new dad just looked at me embarrassed.
"What did they teach you in that school?" he said as he picked me up to carry me the rest of the way.
"Hey put me down I can walk you know."
"Clearly you can not." he said while looking ahead.
"Just go to sleep sweetheart we will be there in the morning." I wish he would have quit with the sweetheart thing it was really annoying.
When morning came I found seven people huddled over me some even poking me seeing if I was real or not.
"Leave her alone." I heard a voice demand.
"Leader why is a leaf ninja at our base yeah?" someone asked. Next thing I heard was a small wince. I looked up and saw a guy with blonde hair holding is bloody shoulder. I quickly got up and went to heal him.
"Why'd you do that?" I turned to my new father and asked harshly. Everyone stared at me as if I had a death wish.
"Sakura you will be staying in Itachi's room. Itachi show her to your room," he said avoiding my question.
Wait what!
"No! I don't want to stay with him." I yelled.
"Sakura you will do as you're told!" he yelled. I couldn't stay with Itachi I wouldn't! If he was anything like his brother he was a jerk and I wouldn't deal with someone so egotistical. Time to try the pity card I told myself.
"Dad please I want to stay with you tonight." I said with a sad face. Now all I had to do was wait to see if he gave in.
"…Fine! But I wont be back till later so tomorrow you will do as you're told, is that understood?"
"Yes sir." I said with a grin.
"I'll be back Sakura tell me if anyone bothers you I will deal with them personally." He said as he glared at all of the members. When he left everyone just stared at me.
"Did leader really just fall for this little girls trick yeah?" The Blondie asked.
"Seems like it Deidara. I just can't believe that leader has a daughter. Hi there Pinkie, I'm Hidan and this is Deidara but he's a fucking idiot so pay him no mind."
"I don't appreciate you speaking that way in front of Sakura Hidan." Everyone stopped and stared at Itachi with confusion. Why in the world was Itachi being nice to me?
"You know for someone who doesn't say much you sure do astonish people with your words." Hidan said.
"She is leaders daughter you should learn to watch your mouth." Itachi looked down upon me and gave me, what seemed to be, a look over.
"Come Sakura, we have things that your father wished for me to discuss with you." I followed Itachi to a door at the very end of the hall. It had been further away from everyone else's. Once we entered the room I noticed how dull everything was. There was a large bed in the center of the room with all black covers and pillows, the wall was a dull cream color, and there were two doors one in front of the bed and the other facing the far side of the room. I guess that one was a bathroom and the other a closet the only interesting thing Itachi had in his room was a bookshelf beside his bed it was built into the wall and had many books on the wall, that and a black chair on the other side of the bed where the bookshelf was not.
"Sit," he said to me as he sat on the chair.
"Your father is very concerned about you Sakura."
"And just why is he confiding in you?"
"Sakura, you have been betrothed to me even before the knowledge of your existence. Your father has made it very clear to me that I am to stay by your side from here on out."
"I don't want this you two can't just decide this on your own! What about me? What about how I feel about this whole mess?"
"Sakura, your father and I both knew how you would feel so he wants us to be engaged before we rush into things but he will not back down on the marriage Sakura and neither will I."
"What do you mean engaged?" I swallowed hard.
"You are my fiancé Sakura and I will protect you from here on out."
"I'm not marrying you!" I said and took the closest thing I could to throw at him. But before it left my hands some freaky fish face took it from me.
"Looks like I came just in time." The stupid fish said smiling.
"Look here pinky don't throw my things around!" I turned around and kicked him in the knee.
"Ouch you little brat!"
"Kisame." Is all Itachi said to make him stop.
"Sakura get back in bed."
"The hell I will, I'm getting out of this place!" I yelled walking past Kisame. All of a sudden Itachi threw me over his shoulder and carried me to the bed.
"Put me down," I yelled at him tugging his hair.
"With pleasure." He threw me on his bed and stared at me.
"You will look good there once you are mine but for now you will sit there and behave."
"And if I don't?" I challenged him.
"Then I will have to punish my fiancé, so please behave."
"No." I said as I ran to the door.
