Sakura POV

It's been one whole week since the Konoha Kids left to escort the Sabaku's and the rest of te Suna civilians. I'm left here heartbroken from what I thought was love. Of course with the Sabaku that nobody would believe I was in 'Love' with, Gaara. And even worse, the Konoha Kids are going to be gone for the rest of the month thanks to Naruto! And it's only June 3! He wanted to have a long visit with Gaara and help rebuild the first few houses in Suna with pride and joy, hoping to raise the spirits of the Suna people. I just wish I could talk to someone about everything. Let it out of my system, and be free of all this saddened despair that is bottled up inside of me.

Itachi, Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara are great friends of mine. I really got to connect with them while I was in the Akatsuki. Of course I kept dening that because the sole purpose was that of a mission, but I knew deep down in my heart that it was true. Of course Sasori and Deidara have their arguements, but they act very genuine towards me. Kisame might be a sleezeball sometimes, but that just means he really cares. Of course, Itachi... Being Itachi, he would always understand me. Plus, he was my mentor while I was in the Akatsuki, giving us plenty of time to bond.

Each of them have tried to comfort and support me, but it mostly ends hopelessly. With the exception of certain times I was left alone with the Gentlemen, Itachi. Who else could I vent to?

I could talk to Suigetsu, he seems nice. Except I've known him for like three minutes…? And it was to stop him for attacking. That won't be awkward. Some random girl that hugged you and promised a good life is now talking about how life is unfair. Yeah, that's a good idea. Who knows, he might have an answer…

I could vent to Kisame, but he might make some random sleazy comment and then end up being punched or kicked where the sun don't shine. Who knows, maybe he might listen this time... No that's not possible…

I would NOT vent to Jūgo! I only know his name, plus he doesn't even know me… He seems like a nice guy, but I would have to do it with the supervision of Sasuke or Lady Tsunade. No way in hell am I going to do that. In a normal person's eyes, it seems Gaara and I fell 'In love' for some random reason. And then suddenly, he tells me it is not meant to be because of our 'Long Distance.' I just need someone who understands the whole story…

That leads back to Itachi. He knows almost everything about me. I've once or twice… or maybe a couple more times... vented to Itachi. He comforted me and took me out to eat at Ichiraku. Ichiraku was actually a restaurant, but for smaller groups, Naruto had the bar revived. That day we ate there was full of surprises.

Flashback

"Trust me Sakura, it's going to be okay—" Itachi was cut off by his otouto.

"What's going on here?" Yeah, this looked awkward. One of his arms was around my waist, while the other was caressing my check.

"Haha.." I laughed awkwardly, "Nothing Sasuke… Would you like to join us?"

"Hn." Sasuke took the seat on my right, I felt Itachi internally groan and took the hand that was by my face away.

"Soo.." I said, unable to think of a subject we could talk about.

"Hey you guys! HEY!" I turned my head and saw Daito and Fang walking our way.

Daito yelled making his dark hazelnut, with a tint of honey-colored hair fall in front of his face. He is naturally over six feet tall and his turquoise eyes are the color of the Caribbean. Of course, people would take a look at him a categorize him as the 'Clean-Cut Cuttie'... But I knew he was nothing like that, of course. Truthfully, Daito was the complete opposite! Fang was another story...

Fang's raven colored bangs fell in front of his eyes in their usual place, making him be under the sterotypical category as a Night in Shining Armor. Even though he was described as an 'Emo' or 'Goth' by haters, He would usually be described as tall, dark, and handsome ninja. His attitude even makes many people in this village fall to his feet and yell 'BOW TO THE FOOT OF THE MASTER!' He might be the silent type to eveyone else, but he opens up to his close friends.

"Hey, what's up you guys?" I asked them, trying to break the tension the two Uchihas emit every time they're within five feet of each other.

Fang took the seat in front of me, while Daito sat on his right. "We had another stupid mission! I HATE these STUPID missions. We always get the stupid deliver the flowers, find the cat/dog, help clean her bathroom missions! I want a real mission! JUST SOMEONE PLEASE!"

"Wait, you guys are Genin?" I asked.

"No, we're Chūnin. We just can't leave the village, so we're stuck with this gay stuff." Fang stated as he continued to glare at the arm Itachi had around me. I saw this and nudged Itachi to let go. He did, of course because he is a gentleman, but held onto my hand.

"If you want a challenge, want to spar with me later?" Sasuke asked. If this could get my mind of crap, then I won't pass up a chance!

"I'm in!" I chirped.

"Me too." Itachi joined in.

"DON'T LEAVE ME OUT OF IT!" Daito yelled.

"Sorry to break it to you, but Lady Tsunade wants to see you." Deidara stated as he walked in, with a Sasori and Kisame in tow.

"All of Us?" I asked.

"All of you." Kisame answered.

"Well that's odd…" Itachi pointed out.

As we walked to the Tower, I felt nauseous for some unknown reason. Fang wrapped one arm around my shoulder and helped me walk the rest of the way… That was until he somehow tripped on his face, bringing me down as well, and Sasuke pointed it out that it would be better if he did it.

"What's wrong Lady Tsunade?" I asked. I noticed that Suigetsu was also in the room. Shizune was weirdly nowhere to be found… Odd…

"The Konoha 11 are gone for the rest of the month, and we need a backup if anything were to happen. So for the rest of the month, and if they are gone ever again, everyone in this room with me as the exception is now in the backup group. That includes Sasori puppet expert, Suigetsu and Kisame water and Sword expert, Itachi ANBU, Deidara explosives expert, Sasuke sharigan user, Fang fire expert, Daito earth expert, and Sakura as your leader. Your group will be named Team Daiki!"

(A/N Daiki means large, great" combined with 輝(ki) "radiance", 樹(ki) "tree" or 貴(ki) "valuable, noble".)

Flashback Over

That day, ruined my life. Daito suggested we take time to have our team 'Bond.'

So here I am… Camping in my own backyard.

I'm Sorry That The First Chapter Doesn't Have A Lot Of MultiSaku, but Hey. Read On. It's Awesome :] :3
