Sakura's POV

6 years later (she is 15 now)

(1)

I brushed my hair while standing in front of my mirror. I sighed. Today, I had a big mission. I hat to visit the mizukage, the mizukage wanted me to train the medic ninjas. She requested I go. Lady Tsunade accepted of course. I put on my konohagakure headband, then threw my bag over my shoulder, ready to leave. But something caught my eye. It was a picture frame. I picked it up and my heart fell... it was of me... and nagato... at the tea shop. That was a long time ago, I thought, I'm probably never going to see him again. I put the picture back down and walked towards the gate of konoha.

I looked at the gate once more before setting off running.

Once I ran about seven kilometers, i stopped. I got tired of being followed. "I know youve been following me since I left the village, so why dont you come out now?" I suggested. Two men appeared in front of her. "N-No way! I KILLED YOU! YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD! WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!" I squealed. "I got revived, but im human now... Leader-sama says we need a new medic, he left that decision to me, so I chose you. You found an antidote for my poson, you have tremendous strength, youve killed me, and youre the hokages apprentice. I was impressed by your skill," he spoke nonchalantly, then he smirked, "Youre pretty hot too."

I stared for a while, then, of course, I fainted.

"At least we dont have to fight her, yeah," Deidara said, "Let's go." Sasori picked up sakura and they began heading back to the akatsuki base.

At the base...

Sakura stirred and slowly woke up. "Youre finally awake, hm," Deidara commented. Sakura sat up and stretched her arms above her head and yawned. "Where a-am I?" she asked lazily. "Akatsuki base. We brought you back to recruit you as our medic," explained Deidara, "Leader-sama wishes to speak with you. Please follow me." Sakura hesitated, but obeyed anyways.

As they walked down the hall, Deidara turned his head slightly to look at sakura,"By the way, his name is pein, but everyone addresses him as leader-sama." Sakura nodded, not daring to say a single word.

Pein's POV

A knock was heard on the door. That must be our new medic, I thought, I wonder who sasori and deidara picked... "Enter," I said calmly. I saw Deidara walk in with someone hiding behind him. Deidara bowed slightly, "Leader-sama, this is sakura haruno, our new medic." Deidara stepped aside to show the pinkette. Good thing I was in the sadows, because my eyes widened. "D-Deidara, you are dismissed. Thank you," I said, hoping no one caught that little studder. He bowed and walked out. She stood in front of me, glaring at me, even though she couldnt see me through the shadows.

She's gotten even more beautiful... I looked at the picture on my desk, of me and sakura at the tea shop seven years ago. I still love you... I thought helplessly. "Sakura, would you like to join the akatsuki?" I asked. She frowned and opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off, "Before you answer, I would like to say... if you join, I wont hunt yopur jinchuuriki friend for three years." Her face turned from angry to blank and thoughtful. "I will join the akatsuki," she stated firmly. I smired, "Excellent. Welcome to the akatsuki."

She glared. "Why dont you come out of the shadows and face me like a man!" I chuckled and appeared in front of her in a split second. She flinched. Then she focused and looked like she was studying my face. "You look so... familiar...(A/N: I know he looks like yahiko, and nagato is on that thing controlling the bodies... But this is MY FANFIC! rawr x3)" she trailed off. I waited to see if she recognized me. Her eyes went wide, "N-Nagato! Is that y-you?"

I laughed. "Answer the question, dammit!" she demanded. "Yes. Yes I am, sakura-chan. No one has called me Nagato since I became the leader of the akatsuki. They have-"

I was cut off by sakura, who threw herself at me, embracing me tightly. I was sort of caught off guard. I slowly hugged her back. My eyes began to water. So much for the great, emotionless, strong akatsuki leader, I thought. "I-I'm so s-sorry, Nagat-to-kun. Th-there was a w-war... and-d-" I put my hand over her mouth then spoke softly, "Cry, then speak, sakura-chan." I felt her nod against my shoulder and felt my shoulder getting a bit wet from her tears.

She calmed down a bit.

She took a deep breath, "Im sorry, nagato-kun-" "Its Leader-sama!" "Whatever! I was going to visit again, but the war began. My mother forbade me to go outside the village gates, nevermind visit you and father. I felt so terrible after I promised I would visit every year. Again, Im sorry nagato-kun-"

"It's Leader-sama to you!"

"Shut up! Way to ruin the moment! AAGGGHH!" she stormed out of my office mumbling to herself. Something along the lines of "moment...ruin...bastard...finding someone else to talk to" I laughed. Konan walked in right after sakura left. She stared at me. "Who's the new girl?" she asked as she walked towards me.

"Nobody you should be concerned with. Just our new medic," I whispered. I leaned forward and our lips met softly, "Nobody at all, love."

HOPED YOU ENJOYED! Cuz... if you didnt... well... thats too bad.

Sorta a cliffie? I dunno. so. VOTE! KONAN: NICE TO SAKURA? OR MEEEEEAAAANNNN!

Until next time... JA NE!
