Me: Yeah! My third story! FINALLY

Inner self: It's an AkaSaku story *pervy grin*

Me: -_- I don't own Naruto or the holiday! Hehe…Halloween…


Cherry Dreamer Part 1

"I can't believe Halloween is already here."

Sakura sighed as she crossed an X over her calendar. She loved the holiday, but almost everyone she knows are either on a date or on a mission. As skilled as Sakura is, she was needed here incase if someone got hurt. She opened her closet door and pulled out a short, blood red dress along with a black lace choker.

"At least I got the night off so I can go to the Halloween party." She smiled as she twirled with the dress. She tossed on her dress and snapped on her choker. She glanced at herself in the mirror.

"I wish Ino could see me right now." She giggled. "I would make her jealous."

Sakura slipped into her black high heel shoes and brushed her soft pink hair until it looked flawless.

"I bet I would make Sasuke go all gaga over me."

She rolled her eyes. Sasuke? Yeah right. He acts so cool and heartless towards her now ever since he came back from Orochimaru. He was pissed since he couldn't defeat Itachi and a new fan girl name Karin was now stalking him. His other two friends live in the village but they are on a mission.

She sighed again and walked out her apartment door.


"SASORI WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Deidara looked angrily at the blood red headed Akatsuki member.

"What does it look like? I am cleaning my costume."

"You are NOT going to wear that at the party!" Deidara rubbed his head as he looked at Sasori's puppet.

"He's right." Itachi walked into the dinning area, wearing a black cloak. "You'll scare off the little trick or treaters."

"Since when did you care for kids Itachi?" Hidan joined the conversation, wearing a grim reaper's outfit with his three bladed scythe.

"I don't" Itachi turned to Hidan. "Are you supposed to be the grim reaper?"

"YEP!" Hidan smirked as he placed his scythe on the table. "And what are you suppose to be?"

"A vampire." Itachi mumbled.

"The Twilight fans will be trying to glomp you all night." Deidara teased as he fixed his tie. "I'm a business man."

"And it's obvious of what I am." Sasori went into the puppet, evilly smirking to everyone.

"And why did you bring him back to life, hn?" Deidara asked Hidan, crossing his arms.

"I can ask the same about you."

Before Deidara could attack Sasori, Itachi broke in.

"It's time for the party, let's go."

The four of them left the hideout and headed towards the Lead Village.


"Sakura chan!"

Sakura turned to the familiar voice.

"Naruto, you're here?!" Sakura ran up to him. "You are still in your ANBU outfit."

"Just got done with my mission." He pulled off his mask and placed it on his head. "You look very pretty tonight."

"I wasn't going to go buy a costume, so I founded this." She smiled at him. "It was my mom's…"

"Sakura it will be ok." He placed his hand on her shoulder. "We will find them, believe it."

"Naruto, don't bring my hopes up, we both know that it's been two years since they went missing."

Naruto moved his arms unpleasantly at the awkward silence.

"I'll see you at the party?" She changed the subject, hoping that Naruto wasn't sad.

"Ah yes!" He turned happy all of a sudden. "I will get into my costume, bye Sakura."

He waved good bye as he disappeared into the night.

"Knowing him he'll be cup of ramen again." She thought to herself as she walked over to the entrance to the party.

Loud, booming music came from the building as she slowly entered the room. Random blinding lights filled the whole room of the buildingand everyone was dancing to the music. Sakura quietly sighed and sat down in a chair near the backdoor of the party house.

"Sasuke kun, you look so hot!"

"Yeah Sasuke kun, dance with me."

Sakura turned her attention over to a group of fan girls. In the center of the group was Sasuke, looking as annoyed as heck.

"Sasuke kun," Karin cooed as she flipped back her long, red ratty hair, "you make the hottest vampire."

"Ugh." Sasuke rolled his eyes. He noticed Sakura and quickly glanced at her.

"Crap, he sees me."

"Hey Sakura." He waved at her over the crowd of rapid fan girls. "Can I sit with you?"

"Sure." She forcefully answered, grinning a fake smile.

"I can't believe I said that he could sit with me! I want to kill him after the way he treated me last time."

All the fan girls began to grumble as he sat down by Sakura at the table made for two.

"It's been awhile since we last talked." He leaned back in the chair as he talked.

"That's funny," Sakura cocked her eyebrow, "the last time we talked you called me a useless piece of trash not worthy to be called a ninja."

"That was years ago." He leaned forward, making the chair back on the ground. "Here we are now, eighteen years old and the best ANBU in our village. Want me to get you some punch?"

"I would like to punch him…" She thought evilly to herself.

"I would love some." She pulled off another fake smile, watching him leave the table.

As she watched him go across the room, she deeply sighed. Ever since he left the village for Orochimaru, her feelings for him have faded. She doesn't even feel safe around him anymore. Sakura looked across the room until something caught her eye. A group of four guys entered the room, making more fan girls squeal in excitement.

"ITACHI KUN!!" Karin screamed, trying to glomp him.

"DEIDARA NO DANA!!" Another fan girl cried, running towards him at dangerously fast speed.

"Those names…" Sakura whispered. "It can't be…"

Sakura's green eyes widen at the vampire, grim reaper, some puppet thing, and the business man. It was them. The Akatsuki were back, alive.

"How the heck?!" Sakura stood up, ready to leave.


Inner self: I wouldn't want to leave if I was her .

Me: Neither would most sane anime loving girls. Hope you enjoyed part one! Part two will be up soon!
