Three days. It's been three days since Sakura arrived at the Akatsuki base. Five days since she left Konoha. Two days since Kisame and Itachi went on their first mission. Here's a list of all of the Akatsuki members she has met thus far; Pein, Konan and Kisame. Not including Itachi, Of course. Sakura found herself often in the company of Konan and Pein. Sakura didn't complain any; she didn't find the members scary at all. She does act shyer around Pein though. This was understandable. Both Pein and Konan accepted Sakura with open arms, Much to Kisame's surprise.
Sakura was currently playing chess… With herself. "My my, Sakura. You are a good player." Sakura ran to the other side of the board. "I could say the same about you, Sakura." She laughed at herself. But sadly. She was running out of stuff to do. Sakura sat down on the floor and started to think about the mysterious Akatsuki members. "Sasori, Orochimaru, Hidan, Kakazu and, Zetsu." Sakura thought about them, she has yet to meet any of them but she heard Pein talking about them. Konan kept referring to Orochimaru as "The Snake Pedophile." Sakura didn't even know what a Pedophile was. She was going to have to ask Konan.
Pein looked out of the window and sighed. "Pein-Sama? Is something the matter?" Konan asked. Pein turned toward Konan. Konan inwardly flinched at how serious he looked. Sure, He looked serious all the time but he looked even more so now. "Konan, That girl. Sakura. I can sense talent within her." Konan allowed a small smile come onto her lips. "Is that why you allowed her to stay, Pein-Sama? Do you want to make her a member of the Akatsuki?" Pein just stared at Konan. It really wasn't why he allowed her to stay. But let Konan think whatever she wanted. Pein turned his attention back to the window. "Pein-Sama. Will she become a member when one of the other members dies?"
Pein shook his head. "No, this would be a perfect time to allow more members in." Konan nodded. "I'm going to go see Sakura." Konan left without another word. Pein sighed and sat down at his desk. Attention still fully on the window
Itachi stared off into the distance. He and Kisame had just finished their first mission. It was a simple assassination mission. Although he had a blank expression, His thoughts revolved around a certain pink haired child. He was worried; He had no idea why he was worried. Maybe because he didn't want the girl to know he killed his own family? He wasn't even sure that she was aware that everyone in the Akatsuki is criminals. He and Kisame had already entered Ame and were just taking their sweet time. "Hey Itachi?" Itachi sighed. "What, Kisame-San?"
"That girl- Is she your sister or something?" For a split second Itachi's eyes widened. "We don't even look alike." "What makes you think that?" Kisame scratched his head. "I donno. You seem a bit- Protective of her." Itachi shook his head. "No relation at all." Kisame quickened his pace. "We should hurry. Orochimaru might get back to the base soon and he just might try and molest Pinky." Itachi stopped walking. He had heard storied about Orochimaru. He was very un-human-like. A very twisted and sick man. "Yo, Itachi you alright?" Itachi started to walk but faster than before. "I'm fine." Kisame watched as Itachi dashed in front of him. Kisame snickered. "Very protective indeed." Kisame thought.
Sakura happily ate her fish. She didn't want to eat it at first because she thought Kisame might get mad at her for eating his kind. But Konan reassured her that Kisame's favorite food was fish as well. Which lead to Sakura thinking that Kisame was a Cannibal. Little did Sakura know that she was soon about to meet a real Cannibal. Suddenly a man came out of nowhere. Not just any man. A man with a plant around him. Sakura's eyes widen and then a big grin broke out on her face. "Plant-Chan!" Sakura jumped off her seat and ran over to Zetsu and proceeded to poke his hand. "Don't call me a Plant or I just might eat you." Konan shook her head. "Sakura is off limits." "Ah." He looked down at the pink haired child that was chanting "Plant-Chan" Over and over again. Zetsu turned to Konan. "Do you know where Leader-Sama is?" Konan turned her attention from Sakura to the cannibal. "Hes probably still in his office." Zetsu started to slowly sink into the floor. "Thank you, Konan-San." Sakura gasped with a shocked look on her face as Zetsu sunk through the floor. But Sakura ended up shrugging it off before returning to her meal. "That was strange." She mumbled with a mouth full of rice. "A lot of Ninja are strange, Sakura." Konan responded. Sakura nodded.
