"Sakura your not exactly sneaky. I see you stealing all those extra hits, bitch."

The dirty blonde haired girl said laughing as Sakura pouted annoyingly and took another hit from Temari's yellow and black bowl. Shino stole the bowl from her, inhaling deeply through small hole then blowing out a long trail of smoke.

"You'd be the worst ninja." Gaara said, smirking on the other side of Sakura. The pinkette glared playfully at him with red eyes.

"I'd be a better ninja then you any day!"

"One of the qualitys of being a ninja is stealth. Which you fail at."

"Your so mean! You have to be able to kick ass if your a ninja too, which I so totally succeed at. So take your stealth and shove it up your ass."

Temari snickered at the two, taking the bowl her boyfriend passed to her. The group of four were sitting in lawn chairs around a small wooden square table that had several cups and cans of beer placed on it and the dirty blondes bag of weed. After the little spat between Sakura and the skank squad there group ended up splitting up around the party.

Glancing at the two bickering teens Shino sighed and leaned back in his chair thoroughly high and buzzed from the alcohol.

Sakura stood up from her chair, swaying slightly, grabbing her empty red cup.

"Refills anybody?"

Temari handed her empty cup to her cotton candy haired friend with slight tipsy smile. Her cheeks adorned a light pink flush from all the alcohol she drank. The dirty blonde handed her younger brother the bowl and watched as Sakura pushed through people in the crowd toward a kaeg.

As Sakura reached the Kaeg she refilled the two cups more than halfway. She felt her phone vibrate in her bra, holding the two drinks in the crook of her arm she pulled out her purple phone.

Sent: 10:44 p.m.

It took the pinkette many times to make that text without any major spelling errors. As Sakura was walking back with her and Temari's drinks she heard a commotion near the front of the crowd at the entrance of the alley.

When the cotton candy haired girl reached her group she gave the dirty blonde her drink.

"Whaz going on over there?"

Temari said, slurring her words a little. The other three tried to see past the crowd of people but couldn't see a thing. But just then they heard a voice, "Sasuke basterd! Get da hell outta heres!"

There was no denying it. All three could recognize Naruto's obnixiously loud voice anywhere. And judging by his slurry words he was probably smashed. Sakuras eyes widened when she heard the blonde say her brothers name. Temari turned to her pink haired friend, shock all over her flushed face.

"When the hell did Sasuke get back?! Did you know he was here Sakura?

Sakura shook her head, a look of panic on her face. Temari's look of shock quickly turned into concern and a little fear. Shino stood tense next to her. Gaara, the most sober out of the four took Sakuras hand in his, looking at her calmly.

"Sakura let's go. I will take you home to pack your things so you could stay somewhere."

She knew Gaara and Temari would've let her stay over at there place for as long as she wanted but they don't want her there with there bat shit crazy mother.

Sakura nodded but looked in the direction where Naruto was yelling with concern, "You need to go back up Naruto because I can tell he's about ready to fight Sasuke. He won't be able to take him on all smashed."

Gaara looked about ready to decline so she quickly said, "I'll be fine, I'll catch a ride with someone or get someone to pick me up. Now go help Naruto before Sasuke beats the shit out of him."

The red head nodded his head hesitantly knowing she was right then squeezed her hand. She gave him a small reassuring smile before hurringly grabbing her drink and her phone on the little table.

"Sakura you text me or Shino if anything happens and as soon as you find a place to stay tonight. Okay?"

Sakura nodded at the now sobered Temari and quickly walked toward the exit of the alley, trying her best not to stumble while dodging dancing teens. Now at the opening of the alley Sakura looked around for a familiar face while trying to keep her breathing under control before she went into a full blown panic attack.

Now Sasukes here too! Pein said they were all coming back but so soon?

There had to be at least five of them now because her brothers never go anywere alone so Sasuke had to be with at least one of her other brothers. It's not good to go anywhere alone when your in a gang even in your own home town. After looking around a little more Sakura found a patch of green hair near the corner of the alley. She quickly made her toward him.

The boy was dealing, she saw the other guy give him some money in exchange for a small black vial that Sakura was sure had either weed or some kind of pills in it. He looked up as the girl stumbled up to him and he grinned.

"Hey Sakura. Looking for the good stuff?"

Sakura shook her head furiously, "Can you give me a lift? I-I need to get out of here like now."

Zetsu looked confused but quickly nodded his. He knew Sakura well enough to know that she doesn't freak out over nothing. Something serious must've happened to make his pink haired friend this panicked.

"C'mon my bike is just down the street."

Sakura sighed in relief. Following the senior down the street, Sakura was silently glad he didn't ask questions. Although she knew he would once they got away from here. As they got on the dark green sport bike a voice yelled out, "Sakura!"

Looking back towards the alley two figures made there way towards. Two very familiar figures.

Eyes wide Sakura looked back to Zetsu, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, "Go Zetsu! Go!"

He didn't waste any time, after recognizing the two approaching men he already turned on the bike. He quickly sped off down the street. Not slowing down till he knew he was far away from the party. He pulled into a McDonalds parking lot.

"Let's grab a bite. And while we do that your gonna have to fill me in on why Sasuke and Hidan were at the party. Foods my treat."

Sakura sighed but nodded. The two walked in and both ordered two Big Macs then sat down at a table. Zetsu gave Sakura a look, taking a huge bite of his burger.

"I don't know why there here. When I got home from school Pein, Kiba and Sasori were at my house."

Zetsu paused mid bite, shock clearly written all over his face. "I thought they weren't suppose to be back for another couple of years..."

Sakura shrugged, taking an angry bite of her own burger. She thought so too.

"I guess they finished whatever they left to go do already. Pein said that everybody would be back soon."

"So you didn't even know why they left huh? Everyone thought you knew but just kept it to yourself, which is understandable considering they probably left on a mission that's illegal."

The pinkette shook her head clenching her teeth. All she knew about why they left was because they were at war with another gang across the country because they owed her brothers money and something about them stealing a new drug that her sister Konan and her brother Izuna probably created. This she all heard through ease-dropping right before they left.

There gang, which is called The Shinobi, mainly sold and created drugs which is then spread through various parts of the country. At first they started doing this to get money that they very much needed, because there father (who is a lawyer during the day and alcoholic at night) couldn't possibly afford to support all 19 of his children. Half of her siblings mothers are deceased so that knocks out child support. Sakura understood why they first started doing it, but she absolutely doesn't like how much there drug selling had increased and spread.

Nor the enemies they made from it. They became a full fledged gang when there drugs became popular. They have claimed territorys, Konoha being there main and most protected one. Each and everyone of them carries at least 3 types of weapons on them at all times.

Sakura was 8 when it all happened and although most of her younger siblings, that were only a year or two older than her, they had also joined the gang when they turned 13. Minus Karin. She never wanted to be apart of it, which at the time Sakura was happy about. Until she found out that Karin would rather go out and act like there father, fucking everything that walks. Its a surprise she hasn't gotten pregnant yet.

Mentally shaking her head Sakura came back to the here and now. Quickly finishing there burgers the left and got back on Zetsu's motorcycle.

"Where to 'Kura?"

"My house. Gotta get my shit. I'm sure all my lovely brothers are out looking for me so I need to go there and get the hell out before they come back. Go right ahead and punch it."

He nodded with a grin and did exactly that. Going well over the speed limit, he got her to her house in less than 5 minutes. Unwrapping her arms from around the boys waist she hopped off. She turned to him with a grin and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thanks a lot tree hugger. Sorry I'm not my usual bad ass self."

He simply smirked at her, silently hoping she wouldn't see the light blush across his cheeks in the dark. He grabbed something from his jacket pocket and gave it to her. Sakura looked at her palm and realized he gave her a nice gram of weed in a little plastic baggie. She was about to protest but he cut her off.

"Don't worry about it. With your brothers coming back I'll probably be working for them again so I'll be plenty stocked up soon enough. Just don't let them know I give you any. I enjoy living and breathing very much."

Sakura laughed, stuffing the baggy in her bra. "You know I wouldn't let them lay a finger on you. My precious environmentalist. Plus I'm a big girl now, they can't tell me what to do anymore."

Zetsu laughed as well but his face turned serious a moment later, "You going to be okay?"

Sakura nodded, hugging him goodbye. She turned back to the dark house and quietly entered. Slowly walking through the living room up the stairs to her room. She quietly shut the door with as little sound as possible. Letting out a sigh of relief she turned to her small closet and grabbed a small doufle bag.

Quickly pulling on a pair of purple booty shorts and a quarter sleeve semi baggy sweater she then started jamming clothes in her doufle along with her charger, a little makeup, hair brush, straightener, money laying around in her drawers, tooth brush, deodorant, ect. Shoving her feet into some old vans and throwing her hair into a messy bun she was about to crawl out her window with her bag till something crossed her mind.

Sakura walked back over to her dresser and grabbed her Hello Kitty bowl and her medicine bottle of weed and shoved it into her bag. Knowing her brothers and Konan they'd probably snoop around her room when they got back.

Climbing out her window and down the tree that was fortunately right outside her window. Running through the back yards of neighboring houses she tried to get as far away from her house. As she was about 2 blocks away she walked back to the front of the houses. Sakura stared walking toward the city where it would be easier to hide in the crowd or a dark alley if she ran into one of her brothers.

Sighing the pinkette took out her phone.

The pinkette figured Naruto would call her the most but she was surprised to see her brothers call. They knew she wouldn't answer the phone so why would they bother? She checked her texts next some were even more surprising than her missed calls. 2 were from Gaara.

Temari was probably having a hissy fit and couldn't text, that's probably why Shino texted Sakura instead. Not that he wasn't worried himself. He's just more patient and probably would've text Sakura a little later. Sakura knew she'd be getting a text from all of her group of friends within the next half hour. Sending a quick replie similar to the one she sent to Naruto and Gaara, Sakura looked at the last 2 messages.

Where the fuck are you? And who the hell was that guy on the motorcycle?! Was he your boyfriend?! I'll send him to fucking Jashin!

The pinkette snorted, not even replying to the message. Leave it to Hidan to text her something like that. It wasn't like they never texted her. The first year they left Sakura instantly got a new cell, but somehow they all got her number and would call and text a lot the first year. But of course the pinkette ignored them. They all gradually stopped pestering her after that but still would "check up" once in a while.

The next text was a whole new shock.

From:Puppetman (Sasori)
To:PinkFireCracker

Oh little sister. Come out come out wherever you are. Your big brothers are looking for you. But you can't hide cherry. We've got big plans coming up and your apart of them. But it's okay for now. I like this little chase going on. It reminds me of our favorite game when we were little, hide and seek. Don't you remember baby sister?

Sent: 12:23 am

Sakura felt the blood drain away from her face. She stopped walking all together and just stared at the screen. Memories of when they were kids resurfaced. They weren't bad memories. No not at all. One of her favorites in fact. Sakura loved playing hide and seek with Kiba, Shisui and Sasori. The four always played that game whenever they could. Of course they would play with the others a lot but they didn't love it as much as them.

Flashback:9 years ago

"1...2...3...4..."

6 year old Sakura was running through the house as quietly as her little legs would let her. Which she seemed to be pretty good at even at her young age. But her muffled giggles always gave her away. A little brunette boy was running next to her as well with a wild grin on his face.

"12...13...14...15..."

"Kiba stop following me, find your own hiding spot!"

"Awww but Sakura lets pick one together! You always pick good hiding spots!"

"Not uh! They always find me before you..."

The little girl had a little frown on her face as she looked around the living room for a good hiding spot. Her little pink pigtails whipping back and forth as she looked around. But a moment later Kiba had her hand and was pulling her up the stairs. Her bright neon green eyes widened as he pulled her along.

"Kiba-"

"C'mon I'll pick a spot then Sasori won't be able to find us! Maybe he'll actually find Shisui first!"

"Yeah good idea Kiba!"

The two grinning children ran into a random room and looked around.

"30...31...32...33...34..."

They quickly became frantic as they hear Sasori's faint voice get closer and closer to 50.

"You two playing hide and seek again?"

Said two children glanced over and saw there older 12 year old brown haired brother leaning against his bed playing PlayStation that was now paused. Sakura nodded her head with a little giggle. Kiba grinned, "Yeah is there any good hiding places in here?"

Genma smiled at the two. "Kiba you can hide in my closet, Sakura c'mere."

Sakura grinned then ran over and tackled her brother. Yahiko and Hidan have been playing football with her lately and she's been trying to learn how to fully tackle someone. With her small size its extremely difficult. But she was determined to do it.

She barley even nudged him. He chuckled, "Keep practicing little sister, you'll be able to knock me down easily soon enough."

He wrapped his arms around her, half throwing half shoving her gently next to him.

"Just sit next to me, I'll put the covers over you so Sasori won't see you. Kakashi will be back in a second so you can hide behind him too."

He put his comforter that was half on half off his bed and put half of it over her. Kiba pouted at the two.

"Why couldn't she hide with me in the closet Genma!?"

"45...46...47...48..."

Genma smirked at his little half brother, "Better hurry up Kiba."

Kiba stuck his tongue out at him and marched into his closet. Genma's smirk widened as he felt Sakura curl up against him, trying not to giggle.

"49...50!"

13 year old Kakashi walked in with two cans of root bear, "Seems like there at it again with that game."

Genma looked at his brother amusingly as the silver haired boy sat down next to him just barely missing Sakura," Looks like we've been dragged into it yet again."

Kakashi looked at him with a raised eyebrow, Sakura decided it was time to announce her presence by poking her little pink head out with a grin.

"Hiyah Kashi! Don't tell Sori I'm here 'kay?"

She said quietly then ducked her head back under the covers and curled up against the two. Kakashi chuckled, "I pinky promise I won't." He said about to stick his pinky under the blanket but her little white hand flung out with her pinky up in the air. He curled his around her and gave her hand a little raspberry. She giggled loudly then swatted his hand. The two boys chuckled at there adorable little sister then went back to there game.

Not long later Sasori appeared in the room, without knocking of course. When you live in a house with 20 other people you don't exactly have the best privacy. He ignored the two game playing boys completely. Going straight for there closet. He peered in and smirked.

"You picked a really bad hiding spot dog."

"Ugghh! Shuddap Sori!"

The red head let Kiba walk out first then promptly kicked him in the butt. The 7 year old boy fell to the ground with a grunt.

"If your in here then Sakura shouldn't be far."

The red head looked around the room some more, not even asking the two boys if they have seen her because no one not even the youngest ones in the house would rat her out. He looked under the bed, behind the Tv, behind the dresser. He had a feeling she was in the room. He gave Kakashi and Genma suspicious looks to which they ignored. That was when he noticed the big pile of blankets in between them.

Sasori smirked and ripped the covers away. The little girl yelped then got up, ready to bolt. But before she could he grabbed her under her arm pits and swung her around, she shrieked with delight, then threw her on the two boys watching them amusingly.

"Sori you suck! How do you always find me?!"

Sakura yelled but then shrieked again as Genma and Kakashi decided to get into a wrestling match with her. And Sakura loved wrestling with her brothers. Sasori smirked again grabbing Kiba into a headlock before he could join the fray on the floor, "I'll always be able to find you cherry."

Not long later 10 year old Deidara and 9 year old Shikamaru walked in on the group of 5 wrestling and laughing on the floor. Deidara immediatly joined with a mischievous smile while Shikamaru just smirked and jumped on one of the beds watching the group with a pack of twizzlers in his hand and one hanging out of his mouth.

Sakura saw him shake his head amusingly as Deidara bit Kakashi's ankle when Kakashi slammed Sakura a little too hard on the floor.

"What a drag...I have such a troublesome family."

He said lazily but Sakura could here the adortion in it.

:Flashback End:

Sakura was surprised to find tears running down her face. God damnit! She was mad at them! Furious even! They left her with there douche bag of a Father and pathetic so called sister Karin. They left her to deal with there insane fathers beatings alone, on the nights he drank a little too much. Of course they didn't know that. He only started doing it since they left. Putting all the blame on her for there disappearance.

She didn't want to forgive them. No not yet. So she ran to the place Haku told her to meet up with her at.
