Uh, let's see... Akatsuki/Sakura? Alright, so yeah, a short Akatsuki/Sakura.
Well let's love this story and get on with it anyway!
Oh, and this has nothing to do with the other Akatsuki/Sakura fic. Nothing to do with it at all.
Sasuke- Lindan does not own the dobe or anyone in this fiction. It would be hell if she did.
Oh, thank you, Sasuke. How nice of you to do the disclaimer. Anyway, ON WITH THE STORY!
SOMEWHERE IN KONOHA
SAKURA'S POV
I was walking through Konoha, towards Team 7's training ground.
I'm always happy on the outside, smiling, loving, caring, and sitting on the sidelines.
But on the inside... My heart is broken. Not completly shattered, but still broken.
My boyfriend, Naruto, is trying to fix me, and I love him, but my life is hell. Want to know why?
When I was 4, my parents abandoned me. When I was 12 my first love left me. When I turned 18 he came back. Now, you're probably thinking, that's great right? No. It's horrible.
He acts like I don't exist. It doesn't bother me as much, since I have Naruto. He helps me through everything.
He loves me, cares for me, and is picking up my pieces, without knowing of course, I'm still happy on the outside. I'm beggining to think that I found someone that can heal me completely.
But... I still love Sasuke. No matter what Naruto does, I can't help it. No one knows of course. I don't tell a soul my secret. I wouldn't dare.
So I just kept walking happily to the training grounds, and when I heard them talking, I hid my chakra. I got into the bushes near them and looked through them.
The enitre Rookie 9 was there, along with Team Gai. I wonder why they were there, without telling me...
I leaned closer so I could here what they were saying. I could make out Sasuke talking.
"She's weak. She won't even practice with us, and she's still annoying as hell." Who? Who was annoying? I leaned a little closer so I could find out.
Naruto's voice came next. "Yeah, she doesn't even know I'm dating Hinata-chan. I mean I feel bad for doing that to Sakura-chan, but I don't love her. And I don't want her getting hurt..."
It's a little too late for that now Naruto. Why? What did I do wrong, to make them diss like this? 'Oh, now Kakashi's going to talk, let's hear what HE has to say' Inner snarled.
"I'm ashamed to have her as my student." Ma, they are just HARSH! They don't even know me... They never did look at me close enough to see I was, in fact, very strong.
I never really was part of Team 7. Just the weak girl. It was always just Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi. No, I was useless.
'Come on, your not useless, hun. They are.' Inner tried to sooth me. I guess you're right Inner...
I ran back a few hundered yards, and let my chakra slip. I began walking towards the training ground, smiling, a fake smile of course, trying to make it seem like I hadn't been listening.
"Shut up, shut up, she's coming." I heard Naruto whisper harshly. I made my way into the training grounds, and looked at them all.
"Hey, what're you all talking about?" I asked, faking cheerfulness. Naruto looked around the circle, and then stuttered, "U-um, we were talking about... The festival! Yeah, the festival! Do you wanna come with me Sakura-chan?"
I smiled even wider, still a fake smile, and said in a sickening sweet voice, "Of course, Naru-kun. But would you like to know something?" Naruto smiled a wide smile, and nodded.
I crouched down and whispered loud enough so that everyone could hear, "You're a terrible liar Naruto. I heard everything."
I immediatly lost my smile, and stared sorrowfully down at them. My heart had finally shattered. I didn't think I could hurt more, but I did.
They all stared up at me wide eyed. "You don't know what I've been through, do you? Would you like to hear me story?" I said sadly, looking each and everyone of them in the eyes.
Naruto nodded. I sighed, and looked over to the side, not wanting to meet any of their gazes. I took a deep breath and began,
"When I was born, I had one brother. My parents paid more attention to him, and he paid tons of attention to me. When I was 4, my parents abandoned me. My brother, he was forced to go with them, but before he left, he told me something that crushed me entirely. He said he had hated me from day 1, and it was all just an act. My parent, nor my brother had ever cared, and I was crushed. I lived on my own, and then of course you know this, but when I was 12, my first true love left. I was stil broken, and it hurt. I kept myself together, though, still broken, but not completely dead. But hwne I was 15... I was raped. By Orochimaru of all people. I lived in fear for a while, and then 3 years later, my first love came back. I was hurt that he completely ignored me, I wasn't there. I kept a smile on my face, tried to kept my heart from completely shattering, but then I heard my 'friends' talk about me. That was when I shattered. So I'll have to say right now... Congratulations. You finally shattered my heart. How do you feel now."
I looked up into their eyes, and I bolted. It had began raining in the middle of my story, but I didn't care. I ran past the gates of Konoha, not looking back once.
I ran and I ran, until I reached a clearing full of flowers, a good distance away from Konoha. There, I fell to my knees. And I cried. I cried for everytime I didn't cry, I cried for betrayal, I cried for the lost, but most of all, I cried for my shattered heart.
I felt eleven different chakras above me, but I didn't care. No, they could kill me for all I care.
"Sakura Haruno." A strong, but soft voice said. I looked up weakly at the man who was right in front of my crouched down, and looking softly into my eyes.
"Come with us. The Akatsuki will help you. We'll re-build you." A blue-haired girl said softly.
The man in front of me stood up and reached his hand down, offering me to take it. I looked into all the other members' eyes, and saw love and sadness.
I lifted my hand up weakly, and put it in his. They all smiled at me, and the man pulled me into his arms, bridal style.
I began to fall asleep, when the last thing I heard was all of them say at the same time, "To fix a shattered heart..."
Maybe... Just maybe, I could let them pick up my shattered heart...
