Chapter 2- You did what?
His eyes also widened.
"SAKURA?" He exclaimed loudly. Sakura climbed off the surprised Sasuke, he stood up and dropped his mask.
"That's ruined." He stated. Sakura looked at him with an apologetic face.
"Sorry…" She whispered, both Sakura and Sasuke started to walk around the room. They also questioned each other.
"Where's the Akatsuki?" Sakura asked. Sasuke shrugged.
"Not sure." He told her. "The ANBU based me here, assuming they would return. Supposedly there in Mist territory." Sakura sighed with relief.
'At least they're okay…' She thought.
"Sorry about attacking you." Sasuke frowned. "I couldn't see very well through that mask so, I didn't know it was you." Sakura giggled at Sasuke.
"Same." She replied.
"What are you doing back here?" he asked her. Sasuke sat down in, what used to be, the lounge room.
"I missed every one." She smirked.
"I hope you didn't come back for me" Sasuke joked. Sakura joined along with his laughter, even though it was true. She did come back for him, for every body. Sakura then walked over to him and sat down too. The laughter died down.
"What have you been up to?" He quizzed. "Since you left, that is."
"Well, Tsunade gave me accommodation with Gaara and his siblings." She slouched back onto the chair. But not before noticing that Sasuke had a scowl on his face.
"What's wrong?" She worryingly asked. Sasuke's eyes widened to her before he shook his head.
"N-Nothing." He lied.
"Any way" Sakura began again. "I finally finished school as a professional medic-nin. And I came back here to gloat in the Akatsuki's face. And that's when you attacked!" She joked at the last line. Sasuke chuckled slightly.
"What about you?" She questioned. "How did you get to join ANBU?" Sakura sat up, waiting for his answer.
"I'm captain, actually." He cleared. Sakura chuckled at him, before coughing to cover her laughter. Sasuke looked confused.
"Yeah, and that's it really. ANBU, training." He listed; Sakura sat back, knowing this would take long.
"Oh and I got married." He finished off casually. Sakura's rage flared up.
"WHAT!" She infuriated. 'Calm down Sakura! Calm!' her inner self screamed. 'Calm down?' She argued in her head. 'How am I meant to do that? He's MARRIED!' Sasuke flinched at Sakura's anger. But then she, kind of, calmed down. Sakura placed a fake smile on her face.
"Congrats!" She laughed. "Who is it?" She asked. Kami help them if Sakura knows her.
"Oh, you don't know her." Sasuke shifted the conversation. But Sakura was stubborn.
"No! C'mon!" She joked. "W-What's her name?" Sakura was raging on the inside, but tried to remain calm, for Sasuke's sake.
"Karin…"He sighed. Sakura noted how unhappy he was. 'Why is he unhappy? He's married! He should be gloating.' Sakura asked herself.
"Oh!" Sakura frowned, but she smiled back at Sasuke. She had to make it seem like she was over him. And Sasuke had to do the same; he also pretended he was over Sakura. After all, he was married. An awkward silence grew over the two, both shifting their eyes around the room. Sakura stood up and began to leave the room.
"I-I've got to find Ino." She stammered. "I miss her too. Later." She walked out the room. Leaving a saddened Sasuke behind.
Sakura stormed out of the abandoned Akatsuki building. Screaming and ranting in her head, all the way to Ino's flower shop.
'He got married?' Sakura ranted inwardly.
'Why is that your problem? I though you were over him.' Inner Sakura answered. Sakura was shocked by this voice in her head.
'I am. But he didn't seem happy…'
'And I suppose you could do a better job.' Sakura stopped walking, surprised at what her inner self had just said to her.
'I never said any thing like that!' Sakura roared 'And why the hell did the Akatsuki leave me here. They should have warned me they were moving…' She was so busy talking to herself; she didn't notice a figure, stalking behind her. With out warning, the person grabbed Sakura and hushed her mouth, before running off down an ally way.
Deep down the ally, the Sakura-napper, let go of her mouth. Sakura wasn't looking at who grabbed her, so she did what came natural to her. Punched them in the stomach.
"Sakura!" The person wheezed. "Why did you do that?" Sakura recognised the voice and immediately turned around.
"Deidara!" She gasped. "Gomen Nasaii! I didn't know it who you!" She apologized. Deidara recaptured his breath and smiled towards her.
"Its fine, Sakura." He laughed; he took Sakura's hand and led her through the ally ways.
"C'mon. Itachi will want to know your back." Sakura smirked at her close friend. She had missed him the most. Deidara clasped her hand firmly moving through out the ally ways. Finally leading her to a dead end.
"Why did you bring me here?" Sakura frowned; she stared blankly at the damp wall in front of her. Deidara turned to her and smirked.
'She hasn't gotten any smarter, has she?' He joked to himself. He let go of her hand and made several hand signs. A door appeared on the once blank wall. Sakura gaped at the door, but then nodded.
"So this is where you've been hiding?" She laughed. They then both entered through the door.
The inside wasn't much to look at. Ruined wall paper draped all over, the smell of dampness every where. Sakura turned her nose up at all of this, it wasn't their fault. They were forced out by the ANBU; they had to hide some where.
Deidara turned around to Sakura, who stopped walking when she noticed he did. He, then again, made a hand sign towards another wall. A door appeared behind him.
"Oops…" Deidara laughed "Wrong wall" Sakura laughed at him, but then hugged him tightly.
"I've missed you Dei-kun" She whispered lightly. She then let go a proceeded through the door. Deidara stood in Awe at the retreating Sakura.
"Knock Knock." Sakura said, entering the room. She noticed Itachi staring out of a blackened window.
"Sakura." He stoically said. He turned around and clutched the chair in front of his desk. Itachi stumbled slightly.
"Are you o-okay?" Sakura worryingly asked him. He smirked slightly before frowning again.
"I'm fine." He answered "But my Sharingan is making it difficult to see." He placed his hands around the chair, preparing to sit down. Sakura rushed over to help him.
"Now that your back. I have a mission for you." He rested his hands on the desk, and closed his eyes.
"I heard you had a run in with my brother." He stated. Sakura nodded, but then realised he couldn't see her.
"Hai." She answered quickly.
"I need you to make sure he has Mangekyo Sharingan. If he doesn't…" He trailed. "Make sure he develops it." His voice sounded harsh and angry at the last part. But nevertheless Sakura agreed to it. Sakura began to leave the room, with her mission in mind. Sakura knew nothing about Mangekyo Sharingan or why Itachi needed Sasuke to have. But there was some thing else bothering her.
"How do I make sure he develops it, Itachi?" Sakura asked, before exiting the room. Itachi smirked and answered her, slowly.
"Make sure, he kills. His. Best. Friend." He spat. Sakura nodded and continued out of the room.
'I wonder who his best friend is.' She asked herself.
"Hurry up teme!" the blonde shouted. "We need to meet Neji there in five minutes." Sasuke slowly walked behind the Blonde.
"Don't rush me, Dobe." He growled. Fox boy smiled cheekily at Sasuke before rushing off.
'That must be him…' Sakura thought to herself. She had been spying from a distance on Sasuke all day. And for the most of it, he had spent all of his time with 'him'.
"Uzumaki Naruto." Sakura grinned, she disappeared.
"Come on teme!" Naruto laughed, "Lighten up! Karin's not here and we're not on duty for ANBU any more." Naruto continued walking down the street.
"I'll be back in a minute." Sasuke stated. He headed towards the bathroom. Naruto carried on walking.
"Ouch!" He yelled. He heard some thing fall to the floor. He opened his eyes and looked down.
"Sorry!" He yelled again. Sakura noticed he was really, really loud. Naruto held out his hand to pick the fallen girl up. Acting like a damsel in distress, Sakura took his hand.
"I'm sorry" She smiled sweetly. "I wasn't looking were I was going." She lied. She had purposely walked into him.
"No! I wasn't watching either!" He exclaimed. "Uzumaki Naruto." Fox boy smiled widely.
"Haruno Sakura." She replied. Naruto didn't notice her name was that of the Akatsuki, instead he asked.
"To apologize further, would you like to get some ramen with me?" This was Naruto's way of asking a girl out. Sakura smiled, and was about to say yes. When she noticed Sasuke leave the bathroom and walking over to them.
"No thanks!" Sakura abruptly answered. Sakura suddenly grabbed Naruto's face and kissed him. Sasuke looked up at this precise moment.
She let go of him and ran away, quickly. Leaving a dazed Naruto behind. Sasuke spun his blonde best friend around to face him.
"What the HELL was that?" He roared at his face. Naruto was still day dreaming. Sasuke shook Naruto furiously.
"Hehe." Naruto giggled childishly. "She kissed me. And I kissed her." Naruto came back to reality when he felt a stinging sensation on his cheek. And he was on the floor.
"YOU DID WHAT?" Sasuke exclaimed. Before running off the find Sakura.
