I haven't been online for awhile, and have had a case of severe writers block. So to get me back in the writing mood, im doing some one-shots! And of course its with my favorite pairing, AkatsukixSakura! Hopefully, this will get me in the mood to update Floating Petal, so lets cross our fingers! J This story will be a collection of one-shots based off of the winter season. Im going to do seven pairings, which means seven one-shots. This first chapter will be HidanxSakura since I have got such an urge to write them all romanced up. This means that they are six chapters left. SO hit up that review box with your favorite members, and tell me who you want in the future chapters!
#1: Heathens, all of em!
Sakura Haruno loves Christmas. She also loves winter. Once the first snowflake hit's the ground, the nostalgia creeps into her mind, and it's a wonderful feeling to her. Sakura has few memories of winter, since Konoha's weather usually doesn't involve snow. But the memories Sakura does have of winter, are some of her favorite memories. One of the few times snowflakes came to Konoha, was when Sakura was eight years old.
Little tiny feet padded quickly across the wooden floor, rushing to get outside. Sakura didn't know what it was that was all over her yard, but she wanted to find out. Running over to the door, she slipped on her sandals, and ran outside. As soon as her little toes hit the icy flakes, she squealed in surprise. She also then shivered when she felt a cold blast of wind hit her face. She dashed back inside and quickly fumbled up the stairs.
Slamming the door to her mother's bedroom open, Sakura ran in and jumped on top of her now awake mom's mattress. Her mother groaned and sat up, still not fully awake. "What are you doing Sakura? It's to early to be waking mommy up." Her mother grumbled. "But mom! Its white outside! And its really cold too! Come and look, come and look!" Sakura exclaimed, bouncing up and down excitedly. Her mother smiled at her daughters excitement and curiosity and stood up. She walked over to the window with Sakura pushing her from behind.
"See mommy! What is that stuff anyway?" Sakura asked as her mother looked at the window. Her mother bent over and lifted Sakura up, balancing her on her hip with an arm around her waist.
"That, my little blossom, is snow." An awed expression came across Sakura's face. "Snow is really pretty, mommy." Sakura whispered. "Its as pretty as you Sakura." Her mother whispered back, smiling at her daughter. Sakura's face broke out in a happy grin. "I love you mommy!"
So of course on her favorite holiday Sakura had to be assigned a mission. In the middle of her oh so joyous breakfast of pine tree shaped brownies and milk, Sakura was oh so joyously interrupted by the knocking on her door. SO she oh so joyously answered the door to see a messenger. This messenger oh so joyously told her that she had been assigned a mission from the hokage, to oh so joyously track out some guy all the way out near the oh so joyous Suna. So Sakura oh so joyously slammed the door in the messengers face, and stomped off to her room to oh so joyously pack her bags.
(If you hadn't noticed, her day was anything but joyous.)
After having her morning so rudely ruined, Sakura had gotten in a very bad mood. She grabbed extra of all the necessities she would need since it was going to be 'a freakin' four day trip! ' and stormed out of the house and all the way past Konoha's gates. Of course it had to be her of ALL the people Tsunade could've chosen from. She was going to kill her shishou when she was done with this god damn mission.

Sakura's flaming anger had simmered down to a few burning coals. It's not like it was a big deal anyway, there was no one at home wishing to celebrate with her. She had no family, sweethearts, or even pets. All her friends were celebrating with their family, and were to busy to celebrate with each other. Naruto even had someone to celebrate with, his beloved sensei, Kakashi. Sakura knew that their celebrations were probably just going to consist of a ramen feast, and Kakashi reading Icha Icha. She still wished she could celebrate with them too, though.
Hearing a scream rip through the air, Sakura was torn from her thoughts. She had heard of an Akatsuki spotting near the area while passing through one of the towns. She prayed that this was not one of them. Jumping into the trees, she leaped from branch to branch to the area that the scream originated from. She stopped when she felt the presence of a very strong chakra, and immediately masked hers. Hearing the scream again, Sakura moved forward onto the branch in front of her and peered through the leaves.
Spotting the black cloak adorned with red clouds, she halted in her spot, and held her breath. There lay the member, speared through the middle. A kunai was embedded deep into his left upper thigh, and a shuriken in the juncture of his right elbow. Blood pooled from his injuries and Sakura had to hold herself back from jumping down to help the man. The snow-less ground around the criminal was quickly turning crimson.
The mans closed eyes snapped open again and he screamed out again. When Sakura heard from this close, it actually sort of sounded like… a moan. The mans voice was very throaty, so it was hard to tell. She could see the male's silver hair gleaming from where she crouched. Sakura scooted forward more to see the man's features. Sakura had forgotten exactly what she had been placed on, and had crashed down to the ground below her,
"I was wondering how long you were going to hide up there." Sakura snapped up from the indented ground and immediately went into a defensive stance. Sakura glared at the man in front of her, and he chuckled. "Calm down pinky, im not going to touch you," He said and she glared even harder. "That is, unless, you want me to?" The man said with a quirk of his eyebrow and a smirk. Sakura's cheeks immediately turned red and she sputtered. She could now see the features of the male in front of her, and he was actually quite handsome. It only made her blush more.
"Already falling for me huh? And we haven't even gotten on a first name basis." The violet eyed man ripped the shuriken out of his elbow and sat up, the spear in his stomach moving with him. He extended out his hand, the blood from his elbow dripping onto the ground in thick droplets. "The names Hidan." He said, a predatory grin coming across his face. Sakura had to hold back a gag, she could've sworn she saw his entrails when he sat up.
"What you don't like blood, pinky?" Hidan asked innocently. Wiping his finger over the blood covered ground, he lifted it to his mouth and licked it. Sakura had to admit, it was one of the most disgustingly sexy things she had ever seen and could've sworn she felt a drop of blood come out of one of her nostrils. "Just shut up and let me heal you." She said hurriedly, and knelt beside him. Placing her hands over the puncture wound in his elbow she began to pour healing chakra into him. "How are you still alive anyway?" Sakura asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Im a Jashinist, I worship Jashin, the one and only greatest god. In return, he lets me live forever." Hidan said happily, glad that he was able to share the greatness that was Jashin. Sakura saw how happy he was and actually smiled at his enthusiasm. This guy was actually sort of cute. Placing his arm back on the ground. She looked at the spear through his abdomen. "This is going to hurt, so brace yourself." Sakura said, moving over to sit on his middle, and placing her hands around the pole section of the weapon. Hidan's eyes widened at the compromising position and blushed heavily. He was happy she wasn't looking at his face, because he betted he looked like a tomato.
As she began to slowly pull the spear out of his stomach, Hidan had to slap a hand over his nose as he felt the blood rush out of it. Sakura's face was contorted into concentration, and she grunted as she tried to pull the spear out without damaging his organs. She didn't even know what she was doing to him at the moment, and he was glad that Sakura wasn't sitting down on that part of his body, because it would have been very embarrassing for the both of them.
Hidan lifted his arm and quickly ripped the spear out of his stomach, throwing it off to the side, and placed his hand back over his nose. "Hey! Now its going to take even longer to heal your stomach! Why did you do that!" Sakura asked in outrage. Hidan grunted and looked away. "You were taking to long." He said, eyes still focused to the side. She sighed and began healing his middle. Hidan almost breathed out in relief when he felt his little 'problem' go away.
Finishing the job on his stomach she moved to his leg. Pulling out the kunai as fast as she could, she immediately went to work on it. Luckily it was a minor injury, and only took a small amount of time. Sakura huffed and wiped her hands on her black shorts, trying to get the dirt and blood off them. "You know, you never told me your name pinky." Hidan said as he began to stand, and wiped off his nose, successfully cleaning it before she could see. Sakura also stood and glanced over at him. "It's Sakura, and don't I get a thanks? I still have a mission to finish and now im exhausted from healing your mangled body." Sakura said with a huff crossing her arms.
Hidan walked over to her and Sakura blushed at the close proximity between them. "Thanks, Sakura." He whispered, and Sakura gulped. Hidan quickly ducked his head forward, and pressed his lips against hers. Sakura gasped, and felt something settle around her neck. "Im going to need that back, so make sure you find me." Hidan said as he pulled away. Sakura glanced down and saw the rosary that he had been wearing earlier around her neck. Looking back up, Hidan was gone, and she smiled.
Winter was definitely her favorite season.
