Hey guys! Sakucherryblossoms here. I figured since I'm home with the flu that I would up date for you!! Here's Chapter 2

Oh, and guys, I would like to thank DevilToBeLoved with their review. I did add something with the Akatsuki, and I know it's going to look like there is not a lot of SakuXShika right away, but there will be coming sometime soon.

"God she is so annoying..." Sakura said out loud once the class had started.

Shikamaru just looked at her. "I don't think she's that bad, Sakura," Shikamaru said. "She seems kind of nice."

Sakura gave Shikamaru an odd look. "Well she does," Shikamaru said. "I think I'm going to go talk to her."

With that Shikamaru stood, and walked over to Ino. Sakura watched from afar as Ino began to flirtatiously rub his arm. Sasuke just stood from his seat beside Ino, and walked over to another table.

Sakura turned, and began talking to Gaara. "I can't believe he went over there to talk to her, Panda-Chan."

"I know," Hinata said from beside Gaara. "It's alright though. Sakura, maybe this way you can win Sasuke back."

"I think I'm done with that guy... there is only so much heartbreak a guy can cause..." Sakura said. She took out her ipod and began skimming for songs. Gaara grabbed her ipod, and put a head phone in. Sakura just sighed, and waited for the song. Sakura began to laugh.

The song Gaara had chosen was Girlfriend, by Avril Lavigne. Sakura looked at Gaara from the corner of her eyes, and saw a small smirk on his face.

"Panda-Chan," Sakura said teasingly. Gaara only let out a small chuckle, and Sakura began to sing a part of the song.

You're so fine

I want you mine

You're so delicious

I think about ya all the time

You're so addictive

Don't you know what I could do to make you feel alright?

Sakura stopped singing when she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Looking up she saw Sasuke with a stern look on his face.

"Look Sakura," he said coldly, "I'm never going to go out with you again. You can stop singing that song, I know what I'm missing, and it isn't from you."

Sakura laughed. "You think I'm singing this song for you?" She asked. Sasuke nodded. "I'm not Sas-gay. I was over you a while ago."

Sasuke just gave her an unconvinced look. Gaara glared at the raven haired teen, and Sasuke shuddered. "Yeah right, Sakura. You will never be over me." With that said, Sasuke walked away.

Sakura just laughed. "What a prick," she said.

Gaara only nodded his head in agreement, and went to pick another song from here lime green ipod.

After Class

The bell began to ring, and Sakura stood up from her seat. She looked around for Shikamaru, but finding him in the clutches of Ino, she sighed, and walked to the roof.

"This sucks," Sakura said. She opened the door to the roof, and noticed it was raining. "Beautiful," she said quietly, and went to go sit under a tree. You see, they had a garden atop of their school's roof, and there were trees, and flower gardens up there.

Sakura leaned against the tree, and began to think about her day. "I mean I don't even really know Shikamaru," Sakura said out loud, to herself. "How do I know if I really like him or not. I guess I wont worry about him; it looks like Ino is going to have him soon enough."

Sakura sighed, and closed her eyes. She opened them when she felt a hard tapping on her shoulder. She looked up to find a teenage boy about her age, wearing an orange mask. "What are you doing up here, pretty girl?" He asked. "Pretty girl-Chan should be getting to class."

Sakura just blinked at the teen. "Um, thanks , but right now I have honors Bio with Orochimaru... and I'm pretty sure I don't want to go to that."

The boy just nodded his head dumbly, and sat next to her. "Tobi was just trying to be a good boy," Tobi said.

"It's alright," Sakura said. "You were just trying to be a.. ehrm... good boy."

"TOBI!!" a loud voice called from the roof stairs. The roof door was kicked open, and an angry looking red head came storming out.

"AH!" Tobi screamed hiding behind Sakura, "NOT SASORI-SENPAI! I DIDN'T DO IT SASORI-SENPAI, I PROMISE!"

The red head, Sasori, ran up to the tree and was about to pound Tobi in, when he realized Tobi was hiding behind Sakura.

He nodded his head to Sakura, "Sasori," he said. Sakura nodded her head back, and was about to say something when Tobi spoke up.

"This is pretty girl-Chan!" Tobi said excitedly. "Tobi just met her!"

"Pretty girl-Chan?" Sasori looked at Sakura questioningly. Sakura just shook her head. "Not my idea. I'm Sakura." She said extending her hand.

"Well, Sakura, you must be very brave," Sasori stated, shaking her hand.

"And why is that?" Sakura asked, their hands still shaking.

"For shaking the hand of an Akatsuki member," Sasori just chuckled darkly, and squeeze her hand harder. Sakura just whimpered lightly, and forcibly pride Sasori's hand away from hers.

Sakura just fell back, and fell into Tobi. "Tobi is a good boy, right Sasori-Senpai?" He asked Sasori darkly.

"Oh yes, Tobi." Sasori said, walking up to Sakura. "Tobi is very indeed a good boy." Sasori grabbed Sakura's wrist hard, and began to pull her to the roof stairs. "We'll take her to see Leader-sama, and see if he has any uses for her."

Sakura sighed, and let herself be dragged. She turned her head around, and saw Tobi following quickly behind. Sasori brought her to an abandoned room near the science labs, and shut the door quickly. "Leader-sama," he said. "I think I have another messenger for us."

The teen in the background's figure was in the shadows; Sakura could not see who it was. "Very nice, Sasori," a cold monotone voice said. "She will do very nicely."

Sakura sighed, and leaned her weight on one foot. She looked at the shadowy figure, and yawned. "What?" she asked once Sasori gave her a glare.

He smacked her hard in the face, and pushed her to the ground. "You must always respect Leader-sama!" Sasori yelled.

The figure in the shadows remained quiet. His posture changed, and he was now leaning on the wall behind him. "No Sasori. I like this girl," he said. "She will join the Akatsuki right away."

"Hai, Leader-sama," Sasori said picking up Sakura so she stood on her feet.

Sakura just looked at the figure. "I assume I don't have a choice in the matter," she said with a sigh. "At least I won't have to deal with Shikamaru and Ino for a while." She thought.

The leader laughed lightly. "Hai, you are correct. Such a smart girl. You may call me Pein." He said while looking at Sakura. He turned towards Sasori. "Get her a headband."

Sasori just nodded, and pulled a headband out of a drawer. It had red clouds with a black background on it. "From this day forth you will be Akatsuki," Sasori said dramatically.

Sakura just looked at him, and blinked. "Gotcha," she said. She tied the headband around her head, and turned to Pein. "I should get going to class, though."

Pein just nodded from the shadows. "We will call you if we need you," and with that said, Sasori pushed Sakura out of the room.

Sakura just sighed, and walked back to the roof. "Dumb Sasori, making me forget my bag up here," Sakura mumbled to herself as she opened the roof door. Sakura stopped once she saw a blonde haired female, and a brown haired male making out by a tree. Sakura just sighed, and turned around.

"Stupid Shikamaru, making out with stupid Ino," she said and then stopped. She blinked a few times, and turned around. "What?" she asked herself, but what she saw was plain as day. Shikamaru had Ino pushed up again the side of the building, and Ino had her hands in his hair. They looked pretty heated, and Sakura just watched them sadly.

Sakura heard the bell ring, and quickly hid behind the door. Shikamaru and Ino walked out of the roof doors holding hands. Ino turned to Shikamaru, and let his hand go. "I'm sorry Shika," she said. "I don't think we should be a couple yet. I want to break the news to Sasuke slowly."

Shikamaru just nodded, and went down the stairs first. Ino just laughed once he was out of sight. "For being such a genius, he really is stupid," Ino said while walking down the stairs.

Sakura just glared at Ino. "What a bitch," she said under her breath. Sakura walked out from her hiding place, and went to grab her bag. Picking that up, she dashed towards the stairs. "Thank God for free period," Sakura said to herself, while she put stuff in her locker.

She heard someone walking up to her, and looked up to see Shikamaru. "Hey Sakura," Shikamaru said.

"Hn," Sakura hned at him. Shikamaru just shook his head, and waited for her to be done.

"What's with that new headband Sakura?" Shikamaru asked lazily; not wanting it to be silent anymore.

"It means she's a member of the Akatsuki," Ino snarled, walking up to them. "The Akatsuki are one of the worst gangs in all of Kohona!"

Sakura just shrugged, and shut her locker door. "They're alright," Sakura said, heading towards the cafeteria.

"I thought we were going to the roof, Sakura?" Shikamaru asked; looking a little confused.

"Do whatever you want," Sakura said with indifference. She began walking. She ran into someone and looked up. There was Sasuke; he was glaring harshly at Sakura. "What?" Sakura asked with annoyance.

"You're apart of the Akatsuki?" Sasuke asked not believing it.

Sakura glared at him. "And why wouldn't I be?" Sakura asked with defiance. "They even asked me to join them today. I actually met with their leader, and everything."

Sasuke's jaw dropped. "My brother is in Akatsuki," Sasuke said. "I hate my brother."

"Whatever," Sakura said, and walked away quickly. Walking to the cafeteria Sakura got a lot of weird looks. She just sighed, and went to find a table to sit down at. She found a lone one in the corner, and sat there. She put in her ipod, and closed her eyes; while resting her head on her arms.

Sakura looked up when she felt the table's weight start to shift, and found a group of guys sitting with her. One of them had blonde hair, and looked like a girl. Sakura knew it was a male though, because of his features. The one next to him was a blue skinned man, with razor teeth. Sakura just sighed, "It must have taken a very long time to do that tattoo." Sakura thought.

She turned her gaze to the next one, and found a raven haired senior looking back at her. He wore red contacts, and had no emotions on his face.

"Sakura," Sakura said slowly. She noticed their Akatsuki headbands, and then nodded.

"Deidara, un," the blonde haired male said. Sakura nodded her head in acknowledgment, and moved to look at the blue tattooed one.

"Kisame," he said grinning.

"Demon Shark," Sakura said, interpreting his name. He just grinned wider at her, and nodded his head. She looked to the last one.

"Itachi," Kisame said for his raven haired companion. "He doesn't talk much."

"Weasel," Sakura chuckled a little to herself. Itachi glared at her until someone walked up to the table.

"Sakura," Gaara said. "We need to talk."

Sakura nodded her head, and stood. "Be back," she said to her fellow members; Kisame and Deidara just grinned.

"I like her, un," Deidara said while she began walking away.

"She's smart," Itachi said with a smirk. "This should be interesting."

Sakura walked over to Gaara, and waited for him to speak. "Explain," he said.

"I don't have a choice, Gaara. No one has a choice once the Akatsuki pick you," Sakura sighed. "At least it will keep me distracted..."

"Sakura! You don't know what theses guys are capable of. I'll get you out of this." Gaara said sharply, and then walked off.

"Gaara!" Sakura called after him, but he was gone. "Damn," she said, and turned around. Behind her was Sasori; he had a glare turned towards her. "What?" she asked.

"Let's go," Sasori said taking Sakura's hand. "It's time to put you to work."

Sakura sighed, and for the second time today, let a boy pull her around. Sasori stopped, and looked in front of him. "What do you want?" he asked.

Sakura peeked around Sasori to see who it was; it was Shikamaru. "Let go," Shikamaru seethed out.

"Or what?" Sasori asked dumbly. A second after he said that, Shikamaru thrusted a fist towards Sasori's face. Sasori being too shocked wasn't able to dodge it, and fell to the ground.

Shikamaru quickly took Sakura's hand, and lead her to the roof. "Let's go to the roof, Sakura," he said.

Sakura could only nod dumbly, trying to understand what just happened.
