I don't own Naruto or any of the characters.

I'm not good with Inner Sakura but I'll try not to bore anyone to tears if I haven't already.

Enjoy.

Oh btw, if you, for some random unknown reason, like Karin, please, just save yourself, don't read my ff. You'll see why if you do read.

... How would you feel if you were replaced? Replaced by a lop sided haired cut red headed bitch? Replaced by an "ex-Orochimaru" slave? And bitch, what the fuck? How would you feel if this bitchass replaced you as the Hokage's apprentice, Team 7's permanent teammate, and Konoha's Cherry Blossom? Shit, don't misunderstand, I would rip that hoe another asshole.

'What the hell? This is total crap. Who the fuck does she think she is? This cunt-' thought Sakura as she was interrupted by Inner.

'SHANNARO! THIS BITCH.' screamed Inner.

Sakura was hopping trees with a pissed off face and a glare so sinister that one look and you might actually shit in your pants. Sakura was a gentle woman. She was as of now, is an 18 year old Missing Nin. How? Sasuke was bought back to Konoha three years ago. Along with this chickenassed Uchiha, he bought back Team Hawk. Of course, Suigetsu, the water shifting potty mouth, Juugo, the semi mentally unstable nice guy, and Karin... there aren't even enough words in the English Dictionary to describe this little cunt. So Suigetsu, Juugo, and Sasuke were settling in. Karin, this bitch, started to mysteriously take over Sakura's life! The fucking nerve! So Sakura, hurt, and replaced, left a note before she left :

Dear Konoha,

FUCK YOU. I have put up with this for long enough. First I help Naruto-kun, Kaka-kun, and Sai-kun bring back Sasuke-teme and THIS is how I get repayed? I practically DRAGGED that chicken butt to Konoha! & what do I get? I'm replaced by this bitchass cunt face in Sasuke's team? What the fuck? Well whatever. You're never seeing my ass in Konoha anymore!

- Sakura

Anyway, as Sakura was hopping trees, she magically appeared in Suna. Yay, dessert waste land 101. Great. Note the sarcasm. Anyway Sakura walked up to the border guards and dun dun dun look who it is? Kankuro and Temari! Yay for Sakura.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" said/screamed Temari.

"Hey Sakura-chan." said Kankuro with a smirk

Being Sakura and a little hurt as she was, Sakura nodded, and gave a small smile. Temari and Kankuro, noticing a slight shift in her chakra, escorted Sakura wordlessly to Gaara's office.

A series of 'knocks' were echoed in the hallways as Temari tapped / knocked / semi-punched the door.

A silent "Come in." was heard beyond the sandy wall.

As Sakura, Temari, and Kankuro walked into Kazekage-sama's office, his eyes widened and he disappeared only to reappear and hug the shit outta Sakura...

Sakura on the other hand, has never in her life felt so happy and has never felt the true sensation of turning purple from lack of that wonderful oxygen.

As she semi-chocked on Gaara's embrace, Kankuro coughed and said "Er... Gaara, she's turning purple... " Blushing, Gaara let go of the pink haired purple faced girl and let her suck in some precious air.

As Sakura's complexion changed back to her pale, scarred skin, she said "May I stay here for three days to gather some herbs?"

Gaara raised his non existent eye brows and said "Hai, but is this a mission that Hokage-same gave to you?" Curious as to why the hell this pink haired friend of his is here, it's only natural that his Kazekage instincts questioned her actions.

"I left." said Sakura. But something was different. She wasn't herself. Sure, she looked the same, she felt the same, she sure as hell WAS the same. But they Shibaku siblings couldn't shake off this strange feeling. Like... an empty void of sadness has washed over this dearest blossom.

'I still can't believe this bitch replaced us! When I get out, I'm gonna make sure to rip her-'

Calmly, Sakura interrupted Inner by saying, 'Ah, so do I. But we must first get stronger then we are. At this point, we can't really do shit to her.'

Inner made a face and said 'Sigh, Kami-sama, please grant me the strength to not maul that bitch into oblivion.' Sakura inwardly smiled and reverted back to talking with the Shibaku siblings.

"Alright, you can stay with us if you'd like." offered Gaara. Sakura showed a small smile and nodded.

Later, near the outskirts of Sunagakure...

'OH MY GOD. I'm still pissed that fucking bitch replaced us. I know I'm being overly repetitive but shit! What the fuck!' screamed Inner as Sakura walked to an open field of herbal magicness on the outskirts of Suna.

'Sigh, I know, I know. I only with I can go back to Konoha and beat her shitless but I want to get stronger first.' said Sakura in a monotoned voice. As she was picking out those herbs, her senses tingled and she said "It's alright. You can come out now." As soon as she said that, Sasori materialized and stood looking at her with a face of indifference. "I see that you are alive..." said Sakura in a non-caring voice. It's not that she was scared or calm. It's just that she was so overwhelmed by Karin's bitchassedness that seeing Sasori alive was almost as if it was normal. But it wasn't. Thought the better question would be : Why the hell is he alive?

"Hm, why are you so far from Konoha, Sakura-san?" said Sasori in a semi-concerned semi-why-the-fuck-am-I-saying-this-for? tone. Sakura sat down with her back against a tree and began her tale of madness and all that wonderful stuff. By 30 minutes, Sasori frowned and said "So you're telling me you left because of this... "Karin" and that you would like to get stronger to "beat the shit out of her and rip another asshole for her"?"

Sakura nodded, closed her eyes, and sighed. Sasori didn't know what the hell was happening to him but he felt as if he should comfort the broken flower. As he recalled in a book he once read : A cherry blossom is beautiful as it twirls and falls gracefully to the ground. However the reason that the blossom falls may not be as beautiful.

So Sasori contemplated on a little issue that the Akatsuki was facing and wondered if he should bring this blossom to Akatsuki to fix this little dilema.

Sighing he said "Sakura-san, would you like to join Akatsuki?" Although it was not his place to ask this question, he doubt that she would be a problem once Leader-sama gets a good look at her.

Sakura looked Sasori in the eye and just as she was about to reject, Inner said 'You should accept, Saku-chan. It's one thing if we leave Konoha, which we already did. But it's another thing to join Akatsuki. Besides, how bad can Akatsuki be?'

Sighing once again, Sakura said "Alright, let's go."

At Pein's Office...

'knock knock'

"Come in."

As Sasori walked in, Pein narrowed his swirly eyes and with rage, said "Sasori, who the hell is this? I let you go to Sunagakure to collect herbs and you come back with a pink haired girl? What the hell is wrong with you?" Sasori sighed and said "This is Saku-"

"I'm Sakura Haruno. I take it you're the leader, Pein." Sakura said as she interrupted Sasori. Sasori looked at her and shrugged. He wasn't a patient man. But he still had manners in that wooden body of his.

Pein narrowed his already narrowed eyes and said "Yes, I'm Pein but you will refer to me as Leader-sama, is that understood?" The glare that was sent to Sakura was truly overpowering but it had no effect on her. Being emotionally drained, she didn't react to it. Pein raised an eyebrow and wondered if either this girl was attempting to shrug off his overpowering glare or if he was starting to lose his touch... Then Pein said "I apologize for the outburst. For now, take her to Konan's room. There will be an evaluation of your skills tomorrow at 8 so be ready, Sakura."

Sasori bowed and said to Sakura "Sakura-san, let's go." Sakura nodded, bowed to Pein and exited the office.

Pein leaned back into his comfy chair and thought 'Interesting...'

At Konan's room...

'knock knock'

"Come in."

Sasori and Sakura walked into Konan's room. Konan was in bed making paper cranes. Not surprising. She was beautiful in Sakura's opinion.

Anyway, to break the awkward silence, Sasori said "Konan-san, Leader-sama said that Sakura-san will be sleeping with you until further notice. She also has an evaluation tomorrow at 8 in the morning."

Konan nodded and Sasori left Konan's room with a poof. Konan got off her bed and walked up to Sakura and eyed her up and down. Sakura was wearing her red top with a zipper down the middle, black kapris that looked like Tenten's, black standard ninja sandals, Konoha headband around her left arm, and a silver necklace that was concealed by her shirt. Eyebrows pointing upward, Konan stared at her necklace. Only a little was showing but there must an important reason why she was hiding it.

Konan sighed and held out her hand and said "I'm Konan from Amegakure. Nice to meet you, Sakura-san." Sakura nodded and shook the Ame-nin's hand. Konan pointed to the bed and said "Well, that's the bed. The bathroom is on the right of my room. The closet is half empty, so you can put your stuff there. The kitchen is down the hall to the right and Leader-sama's office is down the hall to the left. If there's any questions, feel free to ask, Sakura-san."

"... Sakura..."

"Hm?" said Konan. "What did you say, Sakura-san?"

"My name... is Sakura. Please, no formalities with me, Konan-san." said Sakura in a stronger voice. Konan nodded and smiled. "Well, same with me, Sakura-chan. Call me Konan."

The next day... (:

Sakura woke up before anyone else. But we can't really say it was morning since it was around 3:00 A.M. So, Sakura quietly removed the covers from the bed that she was sharing with Konan, and walked out of the room. After walking aimlessly for five minutes, she ended up in the training area. Walking in the middle of the training area, Sakura sat down, and reminisced. Inwardly she grinned because she thought about her brother, Naruto. Although they weren't blood related, they were still close as hell. People might even say that they were going out but Naruto was with Hinata and Sakura was, like stated earlier, a sister.

'I wonder what Naruto-kun is doing right now.' Sakura sighed. she's been sighing a lot, huh?

'Yeah, that baka is probably sleeping right about now.' said Inner.

'Inner.'

'Yes, Saku-chan?'

'It seems that we have company.'

'Ah, talk to you after you beat this fucker shitless. Bye, Saku-chan.' Then Inner disappeared.

Sakura looked up from her position. By now, she shifted into a more comfortable position and was now lying on the floor with her hands behind her head and staring at the stars.

Then Sakura said "You can come out now."

Zetsu came out of his hiding spot and said "How did you know we were here? Who the fuck are you?"

Sakura didn't move at all.

She remained lying on the floor and said "I don't know, I guess I just sensed you. Split personalities? That's pretty interesting, Zetsu-san."

Zetsu, letting his guard down just a little said "I have seen you defeat Sasori, why would a strong person such as yourself be doing here, Sakura-san? Yes, why ARE you here?"

Sakura sat up, took a good look at Zetsu and said "I guess, I just needed a new home. I mean, I've been replaced by this bitchassed cunt and no one seems to notice that I went missing. Whoop de fucking do. As if life couldn't get anymore fucked up then that."

Zetsu's eyes widened then his gaze softened. He, like Sasori, felt somewhat sorry for the pink haired girl. However it was not pity that he was giving her, it was just... he doesn't even know. He just feels that she has been wronged and that something should be done.

To break the awkward silence, Sakura said "Zetsu-san, would you like to watch the stars with me?" Zetsu looked at Sakura weirdly and nodded. So both missing nins lied on their backs and gazed at the stars.

"You know, Sakura-san, in every awkward silence, a gay baby is born." Sakura looked at Zetsu and laughed. She laughed. She was near the point of tearing. Though the joke wasn't as funny as intended, at least Sakura felt better. Her emotions seemed to come back. She felt better.

"Haha, yes, Zetsu-san. Then we must have made many babies tonight." said Sakura, who was wiping her tears of laughter away.

Zetsu smiled and said "Yes, Sakura-san, yes we have."

Around 8 A.M. at the training grounds...

The entire Akatsuki was watching the battle soon to occur. Sakura was currently lying against a tree with a blanket around her. Apparently, Zetsu saw that she fell asleep and left her there after getting a blanket.

Pein said "Sakura-san, wake up." Sakura's eyes opened and she cracked her neck with several pops that echoed around the large training space and caused them to flinch.

As she stood up, Sakura said "Goodmorning everyone."

[Author's note : Well I totally suck at fighting scenes but I'll try to whip up something.]

Sakura stood in the middle of the field and said "Well, who's first?"
