Well this is what I have been working on for the past few days, that and home work, deviantART and high school! This is my new story, 'Cafe Akatsuki'! I'm very excited about this fanfiction, it's my most favourite idea for a fanfiction yet. I apologize to anyone who does not like AkaxSaku coupling, but that's not my problem. I've been itching to write AkaxSku for ages, I just could never come up with a good plot! Naruto does not belong to me, but if it did then Sakura would of brang Sasuke's ass back to Konoha.

I apologize for bad grammar, spelling or writing in general, I'm only thirteen and still studying! Thank you reading my fanfiction, I hope you enjoy! Also, sorry it's short, it was around 8 - 10 pages in my Word document.


Kidzukeba itsudemo soba ni iru keredo

honto wa kirai? Suki? Mousou na no?

The girl hummed the lyrics as she dashed past the crowds swiftly, her headphone wires dangling close to her small chest. She closed her eyes for a second, quietly listening to her favourite part of the song.

Suki ni natteku riyuu wa minna

chigau yo ne kedo maybe you're my love!

She smiled slightly, she'd always wanted to fall in love with someone, though never had the chance. She wasn't exactly popular with the boys; her pink hair and large forehead wasn't something a guy looked for in a girl. She opened her eyes again, if she didn't look where she was going she might crash into someone, again.

Nagareru toki no naka matataku setsunateki kirameki wo-!

She looked down at her vibrating pocket; she kept running but reached into her pocket and retrieved her phone. She looked at it while she held it to her ear; she was ready to flip it open when…

"Oof!" She'd run into someone. Her small body was atop a bigger body, more masculine and heavy, she winced at the fall but it would have hurt much more if she didn't fall on top of this person. The phone continued to ring, but she just let them leave a message.

"S-Sorry!" The girl shouted, quickly getting up and trying to run away. "Wait!" She frowned, crap. "Yeah?" She asked, turning around sheepishly it was a man around sixteen years old, one year older then she. He had long black hair and piercing black eyes.

"You broke the vase I was holding..." He muttered, looking down at the shattered white and gold vase sadly. She almost fainted right there and then, how on earth did she not notice the loud crash it made?

"Oh, sorry! I'll pay, how much?" She asked nonchalantly, opening up her wallet. He looked thoughtful for a moment; he seemed to be calculating the cost. "It was around four million yen," He finally said and she almost dropped her wallet.

"What?! Four million?! I can't pay that!" She shouted, surprised at the large cost. He sighed and ran his hands through his hair, "Well I guess you could work it off,"

She looked at him curiously, "Work it off she asked?" If it was working as a prostitute or a stripper then it was out of the question. "Don't worry, it's not as sleezy as you think," He said calmly, the girl almost jumped out from her skin, it's like her read her mind!

"You looked like you were in a rush, are you heading somewhere important?" He asked curiously, the girl shook her head, letting her long hair sway delicately. He smiled and motioned her to follow him.

"My name's Uchiha Itachi, by the way," He stated, as he stuffed his hands in his pockets relaxingly. The girl nodded, "Ah, my name is Haruno Sakura, Uchiha-san," Sakura replied politely. Itachi wore a red and black striped hoodie over a tan shirt and dark fitting jeans.

He chucked deeply, "That name is very fitting," Sakura blushed at the compliment and thanked him politely. Several minutes passed and the two finally stopped in front of what looked like a café under construction, a new café perhaps?

Sakura looked up at the large sign, "Akatsuki Host Club Cafe...," She whispered; that meant dawn/daybreak. It was a pretty name she had to admit, it also rolled off the tongue quite nicely. The sign was pitch black with a white rose border, next to the name was a white and red cloud.

"You like the name?" Itachi asked, also looking up at the sign proudly. Sakura nodded sofly, "Yeah, it's really creative! Do you own this place?" Sakura asked as the two entered through the glass double doors, Itachi shook his head, "No, a friend of mine does. I just work here," a small bell rang, signaling their entry.

"Yo Itachi, get that vase, yeah?" Asked a masculine voice from another room, a second later two figures exited. A tall blond haired man and a short red haired man, Sakura blushed upon their entrance, they were both exceptionally good looking.

"Who's this, yeah?" Asked the blond haired man, staring at Sakura curiously, the red haired man looked bored and uncaring. Sakura opened her mouth to speak, but was rudely interrupted by Itachi.

"This is Haruno Sakura, she'll be working here until she pays off a debt," Itachi explained calmly, walking off into another direction. Sakura watched him walk into another room, she decided not to follow.

"Hey there Haruno, my name's Deidara, this is Sasori, yeah," Deidara said, walking up to Sakura. She nodded cutely, "Ah, nice to meet you Deidara-san, Sasori-san," Deidara and Sasori nodded politely.

"What did you do to owe Itachi-sempai money?" Asked Sasori, his voice was soft, but masculine. Sakura ginned sheepishly, "Well, I kind of ran into him in the street, and broke a vase," Deidara laughed, "You're going to be here for a while then!" He said cheerfully, Sasori nodded, smirking.

"Do you two work here?" Sakura asked, trying to change the subject, Sasori nodded, "Yeah, we're going to cook and sometimes waiter," He said blandly, Sakura nodded again, Sasori looked no older then Itachi, so did Deidara. The two didn't look like they've ever cooked in their lives.

Deidara wore a black fitting shirt and fitting faded jeans, Sasori a white jacket, black shirt and fitting dark jeans. She smiled at the two; they were really good looking too, alongside Itachi. Sakura was wearing a pink singlet and baggy white shorts, plain attire basically.

"Haruno-san, here is the uniform you are required to wear," Itachi said, out of no where. No one had noticed he came back. Sakura's gaze fell upon the piece of clothing hanging onto the clothes hanger Itachi held.

It looked like a simple maid's outfit, the main dress was red with black lace and the apron was white and frilly, she smiled, it looked really cute.

"Wow, that's really cute! And it looks so expensive," Sakura gasped in amazement, touching the soft fabric delicately. Itachi smiled proudly, "I'm glad you like it, one of the workers here designed it," Sakura grinned at him, "It's amazing, whoever made it must be a real pro!"

"We're back!" Everyone's attention was diverted to the entrance, eight figures walked in, one female and seven males. "Who the hell is this?!" Asked a tall, silver haired man standing in the back of the group.

"This is Haruno Sakura, she'll be working for us," Explained Sasori, still looking as calm as ever, Sakura nodded shyly, the group of people all looked at least two to four years older then her.

"You're cute, I think you'll bring in a lot of customers," Said a beautiful blue haired woman, as she walked towards Sakura and stared at her, she had shining amber eyes and wore a cute paper flower in her hair. She wore a black singlet and tight white jeans, Sakura almost thought she was a model.

"O-oh thank you!" Sakura gasped timidly at the sudden closeness, the woman laughed cheerfully, "Well it's nice to meet you, Sakura-chan. My name's Tenshi Konan, I'll also be a waitress here too. When it opens," She said cheerfully, grinning at Sakura.

"Well since you'll be working here for a while, we might as well introduce you to everyone, eh?" Continued Konan, Sakura nodded, "Right!" Konan smiled at her enthusiasm.

"This here is Zetsu Kana and Katana, twins," Konan explained, gesturing to a pair of boys, the one on the left wore a white sleeveless hoodie over a blue singlet and plain blue jeans. The one on the right wore a red singlet and fitting dark jeans, they both had bright yellow eyes and forest green hair. Sakura smiled at the two, they looked the same age as her.

"This here is Hoku Kakazu and Yuga Hidan," Konan continued, she gestured to another pair of boys; Kakazu had tanned skin shoulder-length dark brown hair and bright green eyes. He wore a fitting black hoodie over a green shirt and fitting faded jeans. Hidan had fair skin, slicked back silver hair and pretty pink-purple eyes. He wore black jacket over a red shirt and dark dress pants.

"Over here we have Uchiha Madara-chan and Hoshigaki Kisame," Konan continued again, pulling Sakura to another pair of boys. Madara had fair skin and shoulder length, spiked messy hair. He wore a black hoodie, yellow shirt and fitting dark jeans. Kisame was tall and muscular with dark spiky blue hair and pale grey eyes, he wore a black dress jacket over a white dress shirt and blue jeans, Sakura blushed, and she wondered how old he was.

Konan smiled at Sakura's blush, "Do you like Kisame-kohai, Sakura-chan?" Konan asked seductively, breathing on her neck. Sakura almost jumped out of her skin, she turned around and faced Konan, "N-no of course not!" Sakura said, blushing harder.

Konan chuckled, "Okay, okay then," She said as she pulled Sakura towards another man. "And this is my lovely Pain-chan!" Konan said enthusiastically as she pointed to Pain, Sakura smiled awkwardly. Pain had short orange hair and very pretty silver-blue eyes, he wore a plain green hoodie over a white shirt and baggy faded jeans. She assumed him and Konan were dating.

"Ah, well it's nice to meet you all, but I have to go, I was supposed to do some grocery shopping today," Sakura said politely, she waved to them and bowed respectfully. She took a last look at the place and left to do her grocery shopping.

The inside of the building had black walls and a while ceiling, the floor was a hard dark wood. The windows were plain white with white curtains which had red lace at the bottoms. There weren't any tables or chairs yet, but the counter and kitchen had already been set up. Sakura sighed, she was going to be working there for a while, since the vase was four million yen.

She stopped in her tracks and frowned, summer vacation was ending tomorrow and she was going to a new school as a freshmen. She sighed and continued, she'd call Konan later that night, informing them she will only be able to work after school and on weekends.


"Uwah, no way!" Sakura exclaimed, looking outside the shop window, it was raining quite heavily. She quickly paid for her groceries and walked to the edge of the shelter, if she walked home then her groceries would get all soaked and ruining, and she could catch a cold.

She looked thoughtful; she could always wait for the rain to stop, but she had to get up early tomorrow for school. Sakura sighed, her top priority was getting the food back safely, and she'd rather miss her first day then starve at home.

Sakura took off her pink jumper and placed it over one of the bags. She then took the other back and held it close, and then she walked out, trying her best not to get the food wet. After a few seconds she could feel herself starting to shiver violently, she couched and started to walk faster, people with umbrellas stared sympathetically.

Sakura sped up; she just had to get out of the rain as quickly as possible. With each step she sped up, her arms and legs shivering with more force each second she spent in the rain.

"Ow…" Sakura had run into someone, the second time today. She looked up and smiled weakly, "Sorry!" She said with her eyes barely open, she continued on her way home, completely ignoring the person she bumped into.

"Haruno-san?" Sakura stopped and looked back, she almost dropped her groceries. "Zetsu-san?! W-what are you doing in the rain?" Sakura asked surprisingly, he smiled at her. "It started to rain a few minutes after you left, so I was worried. You didn't seem to have an umbrella with you," He explained, Sakura continued to stare; she was completely ignoring the rain now.

He walked towards her and pulled the umbrella over her head, he also grabbed one of the shopping bags. "You didn't have to do this… Zetsu-san..." Sakura whispered weakly, her shivers weakened as the umbrella was pulled over.

"It's no problem, I felt bad for you anyway," He said calmly as the two walked side by side in the rain. Zetsu looked down at Sakura curiously; she was only wearing that pink singlet and white baggy shorts, he sighed and took off his jacket, and placed it over her.

Sakura gasped at the touch, she looked up at him, "N-no Zetsu-san, you'll get cold!" Sakura exclaimed as the large jumper was placed on her shoulders. He smiled at her, "Don't worry Sakura-san, I'm not cold," He replied coolly, staring straight ahead.

Sakura stared at him and blushed, the two continued to walk for several minutes, until the two arrived at Sakura's apartment building.

"Here you go Sakura-san," He said politely, handing Sakura the shopping bag. She took it and smiled at him, "Thank you, Zetsu-kun! I'll go put these inside, do you want to come in?" She asked cheerfully.

He smiled softly and shook his head, "I'm sorry I can't, I have some things to do tonight," Sakura pouted cutely, "Oh, okay then. Wait here for a minute though," Sakura said as she placed the bags on the floor and walked inside her apartment.

He waited patiently for a few minutes, until Sakura came back. "Here, please accept this as my thanks," Sakura said happily, handing him a bento box wrapped in a pink cloth. He smiled and accepted it graciously, "Ah, thank you Sakura-san,"

Sakura grinned at him, "I hope you like it! It has some of my favourite food in there!" He nodded and smiled at her, "Well I have to leave now, I'll see you soon, Sakura-san," He waved at her and went on his way. Sakura smiled and went into her apartment.

"Kana-kun…" Sakura muttered as she leaned on the door, she sighed and sunk to the floor. "Thank you…"

Kana took one last look at Sakura's apartment building, before getting into the car he had arranged to pick him up. "Sakura Haruno…" Kana muttered slowly, he stared at the bento box curiously; it was one of the things normal people ate.

"Okay driver, let's go home,"


Did you enjoy it? I worked really hard on this, so I hope you did! Here is some extra information on the characters introduced in this chapter, I'll be doing this every chapter, releasing information on new characters. I hope you review!

Note: The song that Sakura was listening to was 'Sakura Kiss' by Chieko Kawabe and her ringtone was 'The World' by Nightmare, my favourite Japanese songs! Also, I know this fiction will resemble 'Ouran High School Host Club' by Bisco Hatori, my favourite anime and manga, that was somewhat intended though. SO please don't complain about the similarities. I just love OHSHC, one of the best anime and manga ever!

Oh, I almost forgot, I apologize about Kisame-chan, Zetsu-kun and Kakazu-san! Sorry I had to change their monster-like features, there's no way I could of included them if I didn't change their appearances, I had to make them, semi-normal at least, so that meant no blue skin, no fangs, no stitchings and definitely no venus fly trap heads! I apologize again, sorry if you liked their monster like appearances! Also with Konan-san, I changed her personality, when she was a child she used to be bright, bubbly and cheerful, but her parents were killed, sadly. Since this is AU Konan's parents are still alive, therefore she is still bright and bubbly! Sorry if you liked her when she was stoic and pretty much depressing.
