Sakura pulled the bandanna from her forehead she dropped it into the warm water and tried to wash the blood off it. She was on her own in the Akatsuki base dressed in a black silk robe and had her hair tied in a bun, secures with red chopsticks.

"Come on!" she muttered angrily. "I never knew he'd bleed this much." Her face was smeared in blood; she hadn't had time for a shower yet because since she'd got back from her latest mission she'd been desperately tying to save her clothes. She groaned when she noticed the stains weren't coming out.

Her head was spinning; the fight had taken up most of her chakra and made her lose a lot of blood, her torn blood shed dress was hanging out of her window, drying in the breeze.

She'd got all of the stains out of her dress and boots but her bandana had suffered a fatal stain. She leaned against the sink she was washing her clothes in and sighed, her chakra was taking a while to come back and she was feeling dizzy, she should rest. She picked the soaking wet bandana in her hands and sighed, "This was my best one too." She moaned. She wrung it out and stared at it for a while longer.

A long sigh escaped her lips as she passed her long mirror, her face was smeared in her victim's blood, and her own. "I need a shower." She walked into the bathroom and switched on the warm water, letting her hair loose around her and watching the blood spiral off her into the plughole.

She stepped out of the steam of the shower, rubbing her hair with a towel; she tied it above her head in a turban and wrapped another pink fluffy towel around her body she stepped out of the bathroom and into her bedroom. She paused a small 'eep' exited her mouth as she saw a man sitting on her bed.

"Sasuke!" she shouted angrily. Her weapons were the other side of the room and making any hasty movements may make her drop the towel giving Sasuke a full view of her body. He smiled at her, "Looking lovely today." He commented, causing a red glow to cover her cheeks, "What are you doing in my room?" she shouted backing up slightly towards the bathroom door, her robe was in there, it was dirty but it was better than a towel.

"Maybe I'm just here to see you Sakura." Replied Sasuke leaning forwards, knees on elbows. Sakura laughed, "Yeah and maybe pigs fly." She replied.

Sasuke stood up and took a step towards her, "Why are you here Sakura?" he asked her. "Because I want to be here!" she replied angrily. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "You don't honestly want to be with these criminals do you?"

"You think I'd rather be with you and Deidara?" she snorted at the thought. She backed up another step towards the bathroom door. Suddenly Sasuke appeared behind her.

Sakura let out another 'eep' as his arms encircled her shoulders, "Get the Hell off me!" she shouted stamping on his foot as hard as she could. Sasuke flinched, at the pain of her heal, she could only use her normal strength so it didn't smash his foot like she'd waned to. Either way he loosened his grip, giving Sakura the chance to throw him over her shoulder. Sakura dashed forwards and out of the room.

She ran next door into Itatchi's room and locked the door behind her. Just as she was making it to his wardrobe Sasuke appeared in front of her, "Sakura… why are you running away from me, you used to run to me."

Sakura backed into Itatchi's bedside table; she felt something hit into her back and grasped it desperately, "What do you want?" she asked again. Sasuke moved towards her again. "I just want to be near you!"

He wrapped her arms around her waist. Sakura tugged the object from the desk hearing a snap and hit it across his head. She repeatedly hit him on the head until he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

She looked to Itatchi's lamp in her hand; she'd snapped the cord on it. "He's not going to be too happy about this." She said quietly staring at Itatchi's broken black shaded lamp.

"Who's he? Are you referring to my brother?" asked a voice from beside her. Sakura thrashed the lamp out and whacked Sasuke's face with it. He fell backwards on the bed a trickle of blood running from his forehead.

Sakura ran from the room again, still holding her weapon, she didn't want Sasuke to know where Akatsuki kept the weapons so she'd have to make do with no chakra and a lamp for protection against the Konoha prodigy. She backed up against a wall. The room was swimming around her, Damn you chakra! She thought angrily.

She saw a shadow creep around the corner, "Sakura…" before she could register her thoughts she struck the upcoming figure with the lamp, "Die you pervert!" she shouted continually hitting him with the lamp. She felt her hand blocked.

Sakura looked up slowly, Kisame was holding her wrist trying to stop her from attacking him with the dented lamp. "Sakura, calm down." He ordered. Sakura was breathing heavily. "Kisame?" she squeaked. He nodded. Itatchi was standing behind the blue shark man, "Is that my lamp?" he asked.

Sakura coughed nervously, She remembered the towel wrapped around her then blushed. "Sorry Kisame." She said, "I thought you were… um … can I go and get dressed please?" Kisame let go of her hand. Sakura stalked up the hallway.

She moved to her door. She shouldered it open and pointed the lamp around the room threateningly. She sighed with relief when there was no one in there and closed the door behind her.


Sakura, after getting changed and had a nap, was checking the base for any sign of Sasuke. She was looking under a couch when she felt a presence behind her.

"Sakura." Said Itatchi, he was leaning on the wall of the living room next to the closed door. Sakura jumped and hit her head on the couch, "Ow." She muttered. She crawled from beneath the couch holding her head.

Itatchi had started calling Sakura by her first name since they became an item around a month ago. "What are you doing?" he asked monotonously, "I told you I searched the house when you were sleeping, there's no one here."

Sakura sat on the couch, "I just wanted to make sure."

"Who was it?"

"Your brother." Itatchi went silent for a few moments. He stepped over to the couch and sat next to her. "Sasuke was here?" he asked finally. Sakura nodded slowly.

"What did he do to you?" asked Itatchi, his tone had gone disturbingly dark. Sakura groaned, "He was just being annoying. I was off guard because my chakra was low and I didn't see him coming, that's all."

"You said pervert." Sakura inwardly smirked to herself, Good old over-protective Itatchi, "He didn't do anything like that, he only hugged me and I was in a towel,"

"You owe me a lamp."

"Honestly you're so protective over your things."

"Maybe that's because you keep on breaking them." Sakura sighed. Itatchi stared at her for a moment; he clasped her hand and kissed her gently. He stood up from the couch; "I'll see you later for training, look after yourself."

Sakura smiled dumbly after him, inwardly doing a victory dance. After a few minutes of silently doing the victory dance Sasori walked into the living room, carrying a puppet arm, "Sakura?" He said.

Sakura immediately stopped the victory dance and stood up, "Leader-sama?" she asked monotonously. Sasori nodded. Sakura sighed and walked passed him, "I've been on mission after mission lately." She whined.

Sasori was moving the fingers on the puppet arm, "Hey there are a lot of assassinations that need doing and you've started to make a name for yourself remember?" He said absent-minded.

Sakura huffed, "I know but everyone needs a break every once in a while." Sasori opened the door for her to go in and speak with Leader then walked to his room.

Sakura stepped into the room and leaned against the wall as a hologram appeared in front of her, "Haruno." He greeted, Sakura waved, "Leader-sama." Leader sighed, "You have a new mission,"

"Who do I have to kill?"

"No one."

"Ok, who do I have to collect?"

"No one."

"Um… hurt?"

"No."

"Send a message to?"

"No."

"Fight and deliberately lose?"

"No."

"Um… fight with no hope of winning then miraculously turn it around then listen to his life story whilst he lays there bathing in his own blood?"

"No."

"Um…"

"I'll tell you, you are to be the security at a small wedding in Konoha." Sakura paused and stared at him with a look of complete shock. "Security? I'm an assassin not a security guard!"

"You have no choice in this one Sakura."

"But it's Konoha! A small wedding in Konoha!"

"Haruno." She paused at his warning tone then sighed, "Fine, but I'd better be paid more for this." She waved, "Give me my co-ordinates and I'll leave ASAP."


Sakura pulled on her gloves and strapped her pouches to her waist, the belts crossed over each other and slanted so that the pouches were on either hip.

She crossed her short swords on the small of her back and packed a small pouch of daggers on her thigh. She let her hair loose and picked up a black bandana, "It's just not the same." She sighed, remembering her old bandana.

She wore some black under shorts with a red skirt and a red sleeveless top that came down low on her back. She painted the Akatsuki symbol on the back of her right shoulder in black paint.

Sakura packed her bag full of food, clothes and extra weapons; she threw the tightly packed backpack onto her shoulder and stepped out of her room. She walked into something solid and took a step back. "Itachi?" she questioned looking to his Akatsuki uniform.

Itachi encircled her in his arms and held her for a few moments, "Come back soon." He whispered in her ear. Sakura smiled and hugged him back, "I'll be as fast as I can." She whispered back, they shared a lingering kiss before Sakura stepped away from him, "Bye." She waved over her shoulder.


Sakura had been travelling for a few days before she made her way to the gates of Konoha. "They've really done up the place." She thought aloud stepping through the gates and showing her scroll to one of the passing guards. He nodded and directed her towards the Hokage's office. Sakura nodded her thanks and completed a jutsu.

She appeared on Tsunade's windowsill as the blonde woman took a swig of her sake when she thought no one was looking. "That stuff's bad for you, you know." She said looking at her nails.

Tsunade froze at the cold familiarity of the voice, "I didn't think you'd be here so soon." She whispered. She put down the bottle of Sake and turned around to face her ex-pupil, "How long has it been Sakura?"

"I don't know." Replied the pink haired missing Nin as she jumped through the open window and in front of her old mentor. "I'm here for the contract." She threw the scroll into the air and let Tsunade catch it.

Tsunade nodded, "Yes you're the security for Ino and Choji's wedding." She explained a little depressed. Sakura raised an eyebrow, choosing to ignore the sad tone to Tsunade's voice. "Why do they need security?"

Tsunade sighed, "We've been having a lot of problems with sound ninja lately, we were hoping you could help with that." Sakura seemed to perk up a bit, a sadistic smile spread across her lips scaring Tsunade at the unfamiliar expression on Sakura's face. "You mean I get to hunt for them? And there's me thinking I'd dislike this job."

Tsunade tried to ignore Sakura's evil aura as she passed her an address, "This is where Ino and Choji live, you should get in touch with them immediately so they can find you a place to stay and tell you what you'll be doing."


Itatchi stood up slowly from the body, "Is that the informer?" asked Kisame from next to him. Itachi nodded, it had taken him hours to find the pieces of the body and put them back together. "It seems Deidara is finding all of our informers and killing them."

The scorch marks on the dismantled body were a dead, (literally) give away that Deidara was the assassin.

"He was so boring to kill." Came a voice from behind them. Itatchi and Kisame both leaped away from the clay explosive that flew towards them. Itatchi landed in a far off tree and Kisame quickly pulled out his sword and skidded to a stop a few meters away from the explosion.

"Miss me?" asked Deidara from his sitting position in the tree. Itatchi frowned, "So you waited for us to show up?" asked Kisame. Deidara chuckled to himself his perfect facial features glowing. "I was hoping that Saku-chan would be here but, I'll have to wait a little longer for her to show up."

"Still annoyed about what she did to your face?" asked Kisame, he laughed heartily to himself as Deidara frowned angrily, "Shut up you over grown smurf!" Kisame stopped laughing abruptly and growled, "Well at least I don't look like a woman!"

"Yeah…. Well your ugly!"

"You're fat!"

Itachi rubbed his eyebrows as the two continued calling each other childish names. "Kisame." He called quietly. Kisame stopped in the middle of a name and turned to Itatchi. "What?" Itatchi pointed to Deidara.

Kisame nodded and scraped the bandages off his sword, "I'll kill you, you idiot!" he shouted. Deidara disappeared and reappeared on a giant clay bird that flew above them, "Sorry boys, but I'm more interesting in fighting the Akatsuki princess." He held out two closed palms and opened them; thousands of tiny balls of clay fell from his hands. "But I leave you some presents, bye." He waved as the bird swooped away from them.

Itatchi grumbled and dodged the bombs. Kisame's sword shaved through the bombs flying towards him and he jumped backwards. Itatchi landed next to him, "You go north and I'll go south, we'll meet at our usual place." Kisame nodded and the two leaped in their opposite directions as the bombs bounced after them.


Sakura knocked on Ino's door gently. It was dark outside. Sakura had been lead to an alleyway that lead to a large house, which, she guessed, belonged to Ino and Choji.

She twitched when she heard a noise behind her, her hand moved silently to her kunai pouch...
