Chapter 2;
The Ugly Truth.
Recap
"Hn. What's the Leaf's Hokage's apprentice doing out here?" Itachi Uchiha asked, his emotionless face matching mine.
Memories flashed in my head unconciously. I gripped my headband angrily, glaring at the two Akatsuki members.
"I could ask you the same question." I replied cooly.
This earned a big smirk from Itachi's partner – Kisame Hoshigaki. According to the bingo books, he's one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
"Heh, she knows how to talkback." Kisame chuckled. "Yeah, we know you. Pink hair, green eyes – the girl who annihilated Sasori."
"Hn. She's the one Leader-sama was talking about." Itachi commented. "Haruno Sakura, join Akatsuki."
End of recap.
I was speechless. It wasn't every day a meant-to-be-dead Uchiha and a fish offers you a spot at the S-rank group...
"I guess I have no choice..." I sighed, defeated. "Alright."
"Yay!" Kisame rejoiced. "Leader-sama isn't going to murder us!"
The stoic Uchiha glared harshly at his blue partner, as he lead us. "Haruno, put your headband over your eyes."
I did what I was told without questioning. Tying my newly slashed headband across my face, I walked blindly until I felt a hand on my wrist. It was incredibly warm, as a medic-ninja, I wondered how come it felt higher than 38°, but I didn't want to pry.
Back in Konoha... [Normal POV]
"Lady Tsunade! Lady Tsunade!" The black haired assitant yelled in a state of panic.
"Rnghh..." Was all the Hokage could say.
"Tsuande-sama! Sakura's gone!" Shock filled her voice and broke more than once.
Suddenly, the fifth bolted upright, causing the desk to get knocked over. The blonde's eyes were as wide as sauce pans and stared at Shizune.
"W-what? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S 'GONE'?" Tsunade barked.
'How dare she play a rubbish prank on me?' Tsunade thought. 'This might be revenge for breaking her cupboard to get sake...'
"Lady Tsunade, she's gone." Shizune repeated, sounding full of remorse. "Her apartment is clean and no ones seen her for over a day now."
"SEND OUT THE BEST ANBU'S! GET A SEARCH PARTY! HAVE THE ROOKIE 9 HERE – IMMEDIETELY!" Tsunade ordered, feeling loss build inside her.
"Hai, Tsunade-sama." And with that, Shizune scuttled off to get the young ninjas.
"What is it, baa-chan? Can't you see I was eating my ramen?" Naruto whinged.
"NARUTO!" The Hokage snapped, causing everyone in the room – yes, including the two ice cubes, Neji and Sasuke – to flinch. "You are going to go on a search party. She knows to much. Find her and bring her back." Tsunade composed herself, breathing raggedly.
"And who are we meant to look for, anyway?" Karin huffed, flipping her hair back, whilst clinging on to Sasuke's arm.
Nods and 'yeah' filled the room and Tsunade shut her eyes, inhaling deeply before answering, "Haruno Sakura."
At the Akatsuki base... [Sakura's POV]
"Leader-sama. We bought her." Itachi said in a monotone, entering a big room, covered in grey wallpaper. The light was quiet dim, but it was enough to be able to see the Akatsuki member's faces.
"Take a seat, Sakura." A deep, husky voice spoke.
Feeling exhausted but alert, I took the seat next to him, sensing some familiarity. The man had piercings all over him, with wild orange hair and his Kekkai genkai activated.
The 'Rinnegan', as I remembered it from one of Tsunade's scrolls... It was the most powerful eye technique that it was almost impossible to stop the beholder. It was also one of the rarest known dojustu.
Suppressing a shudder, I looked over to the criminals' expressions and they were all staring at me, dumbfounded. To be honest, I don't have a clue why some people are intimidated by them. They all look too shocked to speak... I wonder why, though.
"I'd like you all to meet Sakura Haruno. She will be our newest member. She's a medic nin so go to her if you're injured." I heard a bit of disappointment in the annoyingly familiar voice. Where have I heard of it? It's so... irritating. I know this voice anywhere, but it hurts my head to think about it.
Stealing another glance at the orange studded man, I gasp, suddenly standing up from my chair causing it to fall heavily.
I could feel my lips quivering, my eyes widening and my hands trembling.
Without thinking, my arms draped around the 'leader's' neck, making everyone gasp and stare. I guessed being shocked is an understatement. They were aghast, appalled, whatever.
"SHE'S TOUCHING LEADER-SAMA, UN! OOOH, GIRLY'S GOING TO DIE, UN!"
"N-Nagato-nii-san..." I mumbled, feeling tears pour down my eyes like a river.
This caused a riot from the scene behind me, but I didn't care. All I cared about, is my brother; he's alive and well.
"SHE'S YOUR SISTER/UN?" I heard all the members of the base shout accusingly.
I let go of him reluctantly and I saw him smirk. Wiping the tears that leaked from my eyes, I smirked back.
"It's good to know your sister still remembers you. I thought you forgot me then."
"What kind of sister would I be if I forgotten my only brother?" I feigned shock, causing the members to go hysteric.
"Leader's smiling/un!" I heard the S-class ninjas whisper in panic.
"TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!" I heard a childlike voice behind me, but I didn't look who was the one responsible fir shouting out random stuff.
Nagato coughed to get the Akatsuki members attention; so when they all whipped their heads to face him, he stated, "Sakura is my younger sister. Treat her with respect." The last part – I guess – was a threat, making me smile a deep, genuine smile that I haven't shown for years.
In Konoha... [Normal POV]
After hearing the news Sakura left Konoha, the office was unusually quiet. Not a breath was heard, as the teenage ninja's were all reminiscing the past. All, but one.
"Haha! She's going to die soon... No, wait! I shouldn't get my hopes up!" Karin screamed her laughter, ignoring the stunned looks she received from her new buddies.
"Why are you laughing?" Naruto yelped, obviously getting quiet scared.
"Because – haha – that freak – ha – is going to – haahaa... die!" Karin's malicious laughter was full of glee, which caused Rookie 9 to freeze.
"Y-you... sick person..." Ino whispered. "W-Wait... YOU planned this... I know it..." Ino's mouth hung open as Karin laughed harder, doubling over whilst clutching her stomach.
"Why did you do this Karin? This is so unyouthful!" Lee cried, anime tears falling down his cheeks.
"Thi-this was... a plan... You did this to her..." Tenten cried, tears threatening to fall from her hazel eyes. She lifted a shaky hand to stifle her gasp as realization hit her.
"Actually, YOU did this to her." Karin confirmed, again tossing her long red hair over her shoulder. She pushed her glasses up before snorting a laugh again.
Sasuke had enough. Disgusted, he shook off the sinister red head. Karin's face fell immediately at her boyfriend's unusual reaction, so she did what a normal fangirl would do. She clung on to him again.
"Get off me." Sasuke seethed, irritated at the red head's behaviour. "It's over." The words were thrown at Karin like a kunai, but she didn't catch it.
Karin – petrified – threw her head back and screamed an ear-splitting scream. "What? YOU LOVE ME SASUKE-KUN! IT'S ALL THE PINK HAIRED FREAKS FAULT! AHHHH!"
Everyone in the room winced at her volume, and for the first time, Hinata spoke up. "K-Karin-san, w-what you d-did was ve-very wr-wrong... W-what d-did she e-even do t-to you that m-made y-you dis-dislike her?" She stuttered, staring at the floor, avoiding eye contact with anyone.
"H-HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BRAT! SHE SHOWED HER FACE, THAT'S WHAT! I DID YOU ALL A FAVOUR. AND IF YOU STAND UP FOR HER, I WILL-"
"You will what?" Hinata replied, suddenly staring at her with confidence latched into her voice. Her blue hair swaying innocently, as she clenched her pale fist.
"Don't you DARE speak to Hinata-chan like that." Naruto growled, suddenly appearing before Hinata, covering her from Karin's view.
"ARGHH!" Karin shrieked, stomping her heeled foot. She calmed herself down, flattening her 'ninja' dress, which was sleeveless and showed a bit too much cleavage. Her face, twisted and contorted with rage, looked as if she dipped her head in a make up box. If you were a normal civilian and you didn't know her, you'd think she was a prostitute.
"BE QUIET!" Tsunade slammed a fist at her new table, making the wooden desk vibrate violently. It squeaked, looking as if it was about to collapse any minute, but the Hokage ignored the poor table. Instead, she glared heavily at the shinobi's before her, eyeing them with a look that dared them to talk back.
But the room instantly fell silent, waiting for the female Hokage to speak. "All of you are going to have a search party for her. IMMEDIETELY!" Voice of authority could be heard as well as sadness and regret. "Find her. And bring her back. She know's too much."
"Lady Hokage, what do you mean about her 'knowing too much'?" Neji questioned, staring at the elderly woman with a blank expression.
"When I used to train her, she had full access to my library. During that time she has learnt nearly all those jutsu's whilst creating her own. I must warn you know, her new jutsu is powerful." The Godaime replied, looking down at her table, unwilling to meet Neji's eyes.
"What is her new jutsu?" Kiba asked, looking depressed. He patted Akamaru, before returning his gaze to the Hokage.
"Her new jutsu, Kaitzune, rivals Sasuke's Chidori and Naruto's Rasengan." Tsunade said simply, resting her chin on her knuckles.
The Rookie 9 looked even more shocked, whilst Karin had a look of disgust plastered all over her face. Naruto's mouth was as wide as a ship, whilst Sasuke's jaw tightened.
Tsunade looked outside, unable to bare any of the stares. She sighed, Orange coated the Sun as it settled over the horizon.
'Sakura...' She thought. 'What have you done?'
At the Akatsuki's base... [Sakura's POV]
"Sakura, I'm Konan. I'll give you a tour around the base, if you like?" The light blue haired female suggested, before tossing me a black cloak with red clouds decorated in it. Konan also gave me a pink ring which almost made me laugh, for some strange reason. Without hesitation, I slipped on my new cloak and placing the pink ring on my right middle finger, where it was comfortable.
It glowed slightly, before returning into it's light pink colour.
"Sure, thank you Konan-san." I replied, bowing slightly. My short pink locks slid forwards, but Konan reached over and placed her hand on my shoulder.
"No need for formalarties (sp?) Sakura." Konan insisted, fixing the origami flower in her hair. "Come on, let's go!"
After the tour Konan gave me, I managed to remember a little bit, but not much. Worry ceased over me as I imagined me stumbling all over the base, lost and alone... I suddenly shook my head, wondering what's going on.
'Sakura, you haven't shown this much emotion since Sasuke left.' Inner commented.
'I know. I don't know why though... It's probably because I know Nagato-nii is alive.' I replied to myself, feeling a calmer aura surround me.
"Let's go to the kitchen, I'm pretty hungry." Konan said breaking my train of though and leading us to the huge kitchen where Kisame and Itachi were currently eating.
"Hey Pinky!" Kisame greeted, giving me a very toothy grin, showing his piercing canine teeth. Itachi on the other hand, didn't look up from his poem book, nor did he say anything to greet me.
"Hi Tuna!" I smiled back, feeling happiness surge through me...
Kisame glared at me playfully, obviously taking a distaste for his new nickname.
"Here's some green tea, Sakura. They're good for your skin," Konan remarked, handing me a warm cup of tea, which I happily sipped the hot liquid, as I plopped down on a chair next to the origami fan.
Just then, Tobi entered the kitchen, followed by...
I looked up, which I wished I hadn't because I spat my tea out, choking in process.
Konan looked at me with a questioning eye, but helped me stop my coughing fit all the while.
Slowly, with a deep breath, I looked up again, but this time, the second male had an irritating smirk on his face.
Oooh, cliffy eh? I wonder who it is?
Sooo, there's my second chappie!
Hoped you like it!
Read and Review please?
