Where The Angels Are

Chapter one: Crying In The Rain

Sakura POV This is a good time for music!! (Fate Awakening of Love-Inuyasha)

I stood in my formal red kimono, staring at the blackened sky, and sighed. It was one of those days, to where I felt depressed and the sky would cry with me when I would often cry. It's been three years...three years since I saw Sasuke. He tried so hard, and failed. My heart beats with sadness, and it's like it's not even there anymore. Or so it feels like it is. I looked up to the sky, my normal glowing face a dim light, waiting to be lit up again by someone with the torch of love. Saniki started to cry, and I sang her to sleep. She had the same black hair as her father, but my face and eyes. There were little pink streaks in her hair, and she hadn't started using her Sharingan(obviously). She was only two and a half years old, but still a beautiful baby. I smiled down at her, and a door opening silently caught my attention. I turned to Shuri, one of the newest members of the Akatsuki. She has beautiful wavy waist-length blue colored hair, and amazing golden eyes. She was very nice to me, even through the toughest of times, but she was mean, cold, and passive as ever when it came to other people. Then there was JJ, and she wasn't as nice as some people, but still a good person. She has short, carefree curly purple locks, and dark blue eyes like I've never seen before. Then there was Saekura. The same name as me, but spelt different. Itachi almost kicked her out just because of that, but I convinced him not too. Saekura had straight black hair that went down to her feet and longer, so she braids it then puts it all in a ponytail. Her eyes were a sparkling pink, and the first time I saw them I couldn't believe my eyes! She couldn't believe I had pink hair, and wanted to mess with it like crazy. I let my hair grow out, and it grew out more than I wanted it to. It had grown to almost my feet, and I tried to cut it, but it looked so beautiful I couldn't cut it. JJ and Saekura didn't have a last name, but Shuri did. She was Shuri Stone, of the clan that could produce the most medicines possible! Shuri, however, did not take on that job and left to train her ninja skills. She uses her own fists or her wits in battle, JJ uses stealth and stregnth, while Saekura uses her bloodline. They all have bloodlines, and I still wonder if they're as powerful as Sasuke's Sharingan. Shuri walked up to my side, smiling as usual.

"So, Sakura, how's the little girl today?" Her strong yet soft voice filled my ears, and I giggled.

"Sleeping like always, you know that." Shuri put a hand on my shoulder, and we watched the sun disappear underneath a distant ocean together.

"It's late, so why are you guys out here?" JJ stepped out from behind a tree, frowning.

"Oh common, JJ! Don't be just a stick in the mud! Sakura and I along with Saniki were just watching the sun set!" Shuri walked over to JJ, and I sighed. They began yelling, and Saekura came in, her soft tender voice breaking them both up.

"Why are you two fighting now? We shouldn't fight unless nessacary! Itachi-san will kill us if he-What are you all doing?? Not fighting, I hope." Speak of the devil. We all turned to see Itachi standing there, his arms crossed over a well-built chest. I walked over to him, explaining everything.

"They were just discussing who sucked worse, Itachi-kun. Kohana, Sound, or Mist. That's all, just a little discussion." Itachi looked back up at the girls, and they all stood, nodding. He looked back down at me, putting an arm around my waist.

"Just make sure I don't catch you again." He turned with me, walking towards the new headquarters. I stared at the giant house before me. It was twice as big as any other Akatsuki we could possibly build, but don't look at me like im complaining. I'd never complain again around here after Itachi smacked some sense into me. Literally when I say 'smacked'. We turned to our bedroom, and I headed to Saniki's crib, giving her a little kiss on her forehead and then setting her down under the white covers. Itachi was already in bed and I got ready. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and I sighed, snuggling up next to him for warmth. It always did get cold here in the Akatsuki. Even in the summer. I felt sleep take me, not knowing the next day would be the worst day of my life.

Saekura POV

I took off my Akatsuki cloak, revealing a purple top with a matching purple skirt. I looked in the mirror. There was no beauty in this cold, empty shell. I wondered if I should've told Sakura what I saw.

Flashback

I walked down the hallway, then stopped short of a door that seemed to pull me towards it. I walked towards it, my pink pupilis eyes glistening. I heard a soft flute sound coming from the other side of the door, and used my bloodline to see through the door. It was Itachi playing the flute, and I widened my eyes at what he played. It was the Song of Death, and Saniki was in there as well as Sakura. Their faces showed ones of fear and pain, so I decided to make Itachi stop. I made a clone of myself but with a different chakra reeding and set her off. It totally worked as Itachi's flute stopped and he bargged through the door, grummbling. I ran in, and grabbed the flute, crushing it on eyesight. I sighed, my bloodline wouldn't save me and my friends forever. Saniki began crying and I held her, cradling her back to sleep. Sakura rolled over in her sleep and mumbled something of killing Itachi. I smiled at her, and smiled at Saniki. My smile turned into a gasp and my normal pupilis eyes got smaller. Saniki was covered in little markings, and I had no idea what they were. I looked at Sakura, but she didn't have any. She seemed perfectly normal...so what was wrong. They looked just like markings from..."Orochimaru." I growled as a curse seal appeared on the baby's pale skin. Saniki cried aloud, and Sakura awoke, startled. I blunk, and she fell back asleep. That was the good thing about the HeartBreak; my bloodline. It could do almost anything except help people. It didn't help people, it destroyed people's lives, that's why it's called The HeartBreak. Shuri Stones' bloodline was Midnight Crescent, a very helpful bloodline when healing, but not fighting. And then JJ's bloodline was Yellow Moon. Her eyes transformed into three different colors when growing up, and she had been the first to master the last stage, yellow of course. It went from blue, to green, then to yellow.. My bloodline, we just never have to activate it, we were born with it always activated. The female's had always had a dark red color, but mine had turned pink, a very rare event. I was always picked on at school, but someone had come and helped me through tough times. To tell you the truth, me, JJ, and Shuri had never went anywhere without each other back then. That's right, they where my someone who helped me. They weren't picked on because they were strong and tough, but me, I never really liked fighting as much. My HeartBreak picked up someone coming from the other side of the hall. it was Itachi. I quickly ran out've the room, making sure to reform the flute before putting Saniki back in her crib and walking out. I was stopped short of Itachi, and he looked murderous. "I-Itachi-sama! I was just singing Saniki to sleep because she woke up and started crying. I was afraid she might've woken Sakura so I did the job for you and her!" I looked into his tired eyes, and he nodded, letting me pass. I ran into JJ before returning to my room, slipping my Akatsuki cloak on and walking out of my room again. I walked out the entrance of the Akatsuki, startling the guards. I scoffed at them, and they straightened themselves again. I jumped to the trees, looking for my favorite one. It really wasn't hard to find, 'cause it was the tallest and biggest in size. I smiled, jumping into one of the branches and letting the sunlight hit my face through cracks in the tree. A few birds came a rested on my knees and arms, basking in the sun like I was. I let my hair sway in the wind, and felt something coming near. I looked down using my HeartBreak, and saw Sasuke Uchiha, the little brother of Itachi. I quickly jumped up, the birds chirrping in annoyance and jumped off towards the Akatsuki, full-speed.

End of Flashback

It's been three days since then, but who knows what Itachi and Orochimaru are planning. I heard a slight crying in the other room, and Sakura trying to calm it down. I sighed in frustration, trying to sleep, but the baby wouldn't quiet down. Sakura walked out of her room, even knowing that she shouldn't be out at this time of night, but she was. I followed her, listening to Saniki's soft cries that grew louder into a headache. Sakura walked outside, even if it was still raining. I followed her, watching as she stared at the sky.

Sakura POV

I stepped outside, knowing that Saekura followed me. I looked up at the sky, and Saekura joined me. I looked at her.

"Saekura, you saw Sasuke-kun...didn't you? Please, tell me. Please..." I looked into her eyes, my tears I held back for those three years finally falling.

"Sakura..." She sighed in frustration. "Yes. I did, but I don't know if he knows your here or not. I'm afriad it could've been a mix-up. I'm sorry, Sakura." She pulled me into a friendly embrace, and I returned it. We both stood there, crying our hearts out. We were just two friends. Crying in the rain.
