Fallen Angel Chapter Two

Venting Anger

Sasuke

I couldn't believe what I was seeing or hearing! Rubbing my eyes with the back of my fist; I looked again. There was, Itachi and his partner, who was it? Kisame that was it, along with some blonde boy and the puppet master Sassori; in Sakura's house. Eating, Laughing, actually having a civilized conversation. Watching Sakura pick out a pair of black PJs and leave the room. He realized something there was no fighting, no Screaming, what in god's name was happening here?

Taking the opening when Sakura left the room Sasuke jumped out from his former position and landing on the roof, silently, crouching down to hear the Akatsuki's hushed conversation.

"You all know what we're here for right?" Sasuke heard Itachi whisper.

There was a slight shift of uncomfortable movement in the room and then a long silence. What were they here for and what it have to do with HIS Sakura? It was at times like this that he wished he had Neji's Byakugan. Sasuke slowly crawled his way over to the edge of the roof searching for something that would be considered as a way into the house. Leaning forward he scanned the area; and spotting a slightly ajar window on the second story; he scurried over and lowered himself into the window.

Mission Accomplished. He was now successfully in Sakura's home. Sasuke looked around. The place was littered with old boxes, stacks of papers, old baby toys and even some odd looking weapons that made his hair stand on end. Picking one up and he examined it. It was like that of a regular kunai, but with barbs lining the edges. Sasuke shuddered in repulsion and was turning away.

Then something caught his eye. A small mahogany box with cherry blossoms engraved on it and something else. Walking over to it Sasuke's curiosity about the small object rose. When he reached the desk in which it rested a cloud of dust swirled around his feet and then settled somewhere else in the surrounding area. Eyeing the tiny intricate object one last time he tried to pick it up. The moment his hand touched it there was an electric current shot through his hand. Pulling back his hand and inspecting the damage Sasuke concluded that whatever it was it was protected by a seal of some sort. Studying the box once more he tried to exercise it.

"Hanasu." He commanded. (Means: Release)

With visible caution Sasuke reached out and grabbed hold of it again. No shock! Gripping it fully he lifted it for it from the desk and found that not only was there a seal protecting it, but also a puzzle to opening it. Turning and flipping it in his hands Sasuke saw no clue on how to open it. Scanning over it one last time he gave up and put it in his kunai pouch. That would be a mystery for later.

Now back to take real reason he snuck in. To find out why the Akatsuki we're in his blossom's house. Looking over the floor, he found a small trapdoor leading to the floor with Sakura's bedroom. Jumping down onto the floor below Sasuke looked around and heard someone climbing the stairs.

'That must be sakura' Sasuke turned the corner and flattened himself against the wall. Flipping his head around slightly he watched sakura enter a room with pink splatters of paint all over the door. Hearing her shut the door behind her. Sasuke walked stealthily to the door and pressed his ear against the door's smooth surface. All he needed this time was his ears and he was shocked …again.

"Wow. You two are hungry." He heard Sakura say as the sound of her feet padding across the floor reached his ears.

"Thanks."

'That's Itachi' Sasuke thought.

"Mmmn this is good, thanks, un" Deidara's remark sounded through his ears obviously the man's mouth full, Kisame grunted in approval.

"You're Welcome." Sakura said giggling.

'Whoa, wait a minute did sakura just-' Sasuke's thoughts we're cut off by what frightened him the most.

"So…" Kisame, Itachi's partner, started out. "Have you considered joining Akatsuki, yet?" His hated brother finished hastily

"Yeah have you, un?" Deidara asked with his voice full of anticipation.

Sasuke almost completely toppled over his own feet. They we're asking her to join Akatsuki! He listened again there was an uncomfortable silence that seemed to last forever. Until of course Deidara the puppet master's accomplice broke it.

"Hello?"

"I have thought about it actually and…I'll join." Sakura sated, as if she held the answer for a dramatic pause.

Sasuke couldn't believe it nor would he just accept it. Either way he was shocked. She was going to live with S-Class criminals, possibly end up being their medical slave, and enduring the horrid pain of just being in their presence. She must brainwashed, poisoned, something. Sasuke franticly thought of way that would possible make her respond as such the way she did.

"Seriously, un?" Deidara asked with a hint of happiness in his voice.

'Maybe she'll say no. Maybe she'll say she was joking.' Sasuke's mental state was beyond the point of no return.

"Seriously." Sakura repeated with a lighter tone.

He nearly lost it. Sasuke's eyes flashed dangerously with anger and jealousy. It took every last drop of his self-control not to burst into the room. After all he wasn't supposed to be here. Nearly blowing his cover he dashed back down the hall and climbed up in to the attic. Near boiling point he gripped the frame of the window so tightly that it splintered. Cutting his hand and leaving blood on the window sill he left to soak in his rage.

Back to normal time. Sakura in her sleep

Sakura's Dream

Sakura's groggy eyes opened slowly, revealing that she was no longer in her comfy bed. Instead the cold concrete of a stone floor greeted her. Where was she? Propping herself up on her elbows four figures came into her hazy vision. Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, her vision cleared. It was her, Naruto, Kakashi, and Sasuke standing at the gates. Then she realized it. This was when she left. Sitting up fully Sakura stood up and walked closer to the scene. The closer she got the more she could feel her younger's emotions invading her mind from the eight years ago when their team had separated. Some she barley recognized others however were more prominent. Older Sakura watched her younger self turn to face her team and try speak, but to no avail. Her tears slide silently down her face. Hugging Kakashi she looked up into his one watchful eye, which curved up into indicating that he was smiling behind his mask. Then she turned to Naruto hugging him as well. The tears were coming more and last she looked at Sasuke.

"I wont be the same." Was all Sakura said to him as she handed him a small ornament.

"Goodbye." Younger Sakura whispered hoping her voice didn't make her weak.

With her back turned she pumped chakra in her legs and left.

The air around the remaining three was thick as they watched the light of their team slowly burn out and blend into the forestry. The moment she was gone Naruto's body was racked with sobs.

"She really did it. She actually left." Naruto said with his eyes filling with more tears.

Then the blonde realized that she had left something in his hand. Opening his fist there lay a small locket of her hair inside a glass vile. But also engraved on the vile was "Open it when you think you're ready. Love, Sakura." Sasuke and Kakashi found that they also had the small glass vile in their hands. Inspecting it more closely Sasuke found that a small rolled up note was inside it as well.

Small tears started to roll silently down Kakashi's face as well. Sasuke too proud for his own good and let only one single tear roll down his face and stain the concrete below him.

Older sakura was shocked. Sasuke was crying after she left! She could understand Naruto and Kakashi, but Sasuke she thought that he hated her for being an annoying fan girl. Of course she wasn't that now, but he, Sasuke Uchiha, was crying. It was probably the first time after his clan was murdered.

Then there was a bright, blinding flash. Now there was a slightly older version than the one before sitting in the middle of a huge room that looked like a library. Scrolls of various sizes and colors surrounded her younger self, but the particular one she was reading caught her eyes. It was one of the larger scrolls, its black border had white lines running and winding through the black making an intricate pattern, and in bold red letters it said "Haruno Family" Then older remembered this was when she had activated Shiorie. Watching her younger self she copied her movements. Closing her eyes, she concentrated and called her chakra to her eyes and then opened them to reveal that her younger self was of course doing a little victory dance. Which, then stopped when the librarian gave her a weird look.

Another blinding white flash took older Sakura to a pitch black room. In which she could only see two dark eyes and a slightly younger version of herself now. This was when she first met Akatsuki's leader and of course her best friends Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, and Kisame.

"Haruno Sakura I presume." Leader spoke.

"Yes sir."

"Haruno-san you do understand that I normally do not have outsiders do my bidding, correct."

"Yes Leader-san" Sakura's younger replied.

"And that also I seek you help only because your bloodline limit is one of the rarest in the all of the countries. For all the Harunos before you have never activated its abilities." Leader spoke again

"Assumed Sir."

"You know your first mission will be to assassinate the leader of the hidden mist, Mizukage."

Younger sakura gaped. She was to what?! Recovering and regaining her cold expression she replied.

"Yes sir."

"Well now that all of that is understood. Your teammates are behind this door. Do you accept not only to mission but also not let the whereabouts of the Akatsuki lair leak out?" he spoke.

Hesitating young sakura accepted.

"Accepted Sir."

"You will have four months."

With that he gestured for the younger her to leave. Letting out a sigh older sakura reminisced on that very mission. The same mission in which sakura had spent four months with four super hot S-class criminals. Not that that's a bad thing of course! Following the slightly younger version of her into the Akatsuki hideout a look of surprise was on her younger's face.

Empty bottles of sake lay everywhere, the place had a major vermin problem, along with the occasional cockroach nibbling on leftovers from what seemed like three months ago. A crimson sofa was pushed up against the staircase. The staircase in itself was nothing big and looked hazardous. A small loveseat of the same crimson color was turned beside the sofa so that the two comforters made an "L" shape. With a table, that was trashed almost as bad as the floor, set in beside the couch and loveseat.

The younger's thoughts rushed though older Sakura's mind. All ranging from why the place was so dirty to what lie on the other side of the brittle staircase since it looked like a kitchen from what she could see. As if leading her younger self, older sakura walked toward the staircase and started climbing up it.

When her younger was at the top she found that the top was much cleaner than the bottom. This second floor was almost spotless. Walking through the narrow hall she found that each door had its own look. Immediately realizing Itachi's an engraving of the highest form of sharingan. However others were harder to decipher Soon later she had figured out each door's owner. Sakura walked down to the hall reaching a midnight black door. Engraved in it were pink lines clashing together to create a large rose that climbed up the door. Older sakura watched yet again as her younger opened the door to receive the shock of her life. There in her supposed room were the four Akatsuki members she would be spending four months with. A man with long ashen hair, Itachi. A blue skinned man, Kisame. A red head that looked strikingly like Gaara, Sasori. And a blonde whose long hair was tied back leaving a couple strands to cover one side of his face, Deidara.

Older sakura snickered at her own expression quite a bit. It was a cross between anger, surprise, and amazement. Her room matched the theme of her door. The same pink engravings except they were painting a beautiful scene. One in which one could only dream of.

"Yo."

"Hi." Younger sakura replied pinpointing that the startling sound had come from Itachi.

Scanning over the four again young sakura cocked her head to the side and asked.

"Why are you here, in my room?" Almost as soon as the words Sakura regretted them.

"So that's how we get thanked, un." Deidara spoke raising up his arms and sighing with fake dramatics.

"No! That's not what I meant." Younger sakura said waving her hands in front of her face.

"Then what did you mean?" Sasori asked.

Mustering up her courage Sakura gave a glare in the red heads general direction and spoke again.

"I meant why did you do this to my room? It not that I don't like it but…" Sakura's younger self ranted.

Seeing the others faces Sakura smiled and then there was another fading white flash.

End Dream

Waking up slowly Sakura opened her eyes slowly, but closed them again straight away. It was around noon considering the steady stream of light that was entering here room. Trying once again Sakura slowly opened her eyes and gave the light a squinted glare before returning to the task of waking up. Using her elbows to sit up she swung her legs around to lightly touch the floor. Looking over at her clock it read twelve thirty-five. Training. Well first she was going to do was unpack. Picking up the small backpack she had brought along she unzipped the larger pouch and pulled out, several different types of kunai a few of which had poisoned tips.

Next she pulled out her medic tools and last she pulled out two small newspaper wrapped parcels. Unwrapping the paper to reveal a small, clay mouse that was caught so brilliantly in mid scurry and a dopey looking bird with a smile on its face. Placing on the bedside table beside the falcon she received earlier Sakura zipped up the larger pouch and unzipped the second smaller pouch, to reveal a whip wrapped up in a tight circle. Made of entirely of small sharp glass triangles. She had a hell of a hard time learning to use it but it all worked out in the end thanks to Sasori.

Putting it on her bed she pulled out a small necklace consisting of three small rubies that hung on a black chain. Putting it around her neck she remembered that it was Itachi show of respect to her. She had told him she didn't need it but the raven haired man had insisted that she keep it. A lastly pulling out a small picture frame that had everyone in Akatsuki pictured even Leader and Kohan. Sakura was of course in the middle leaning back against Deidara, who himself had a blissful smile on his face. Itachi giving Deidara a death glare and Sasori slightly looking at Sakura with a half smile on his face. Kisame standing behind them waving a hand and giving an overly cheery smile. Hidan and Kakuzu standing to the side giving peace signs to the camera. While Tobi was caught in mid fall in front of Hidan. Zetzu, Leader, and Kohan were all standing on the other side with leader trying to scoot away from Zetzu nearly knocking a very pissed Kohan out of the picture.

Sakura laughed lightly. If people knew that that Akatsuki acted like that they would have been disregarded a long time ago. Standing up Sakura grabbed some interesting looking kunai, Deidara's clay sculptures he had given to her and the whip Sasori gave her and walked down stairs and grabbed her earlier outfit. She needed to go train before dawn at least. Throwing on the clothes she had on earlier and equipping her weapons she walked out the door to go meet at the team seven bridge.

Sasuke

Sasuke couldn't believe it. Sakura was actually going to join Akatsuki. Sasuke threw another punch at the poor unsuspecting tree and splintering it instantly. She had AGREED to live with those monsters. Moving to another tree Sasuke started to beat it beyond recognition as well. His eyes glazed over with red. She was happier with S-class criminals than him, Naruto or even Kakashi. Those mongrels, they would pay one way or another. He would make sure of it. No one took his Sakura away from him. The tree in front of him let out a sickening crack and a crater formed where his bloodied knuckles had come in contact with it. Smirking devilishly Sasuke made it his temporary goal to seek out Naruto. The knuckle headed ninja could help him vent out his anger indeed.
