History

Ch.2

"Hey Leader-sama!" A boisterous boy with an orange mask shouts.

"Tobi. Shut up." Kakuzu slams his door shut.

"What do you want, Tobi?" Asks an orange haired man with facial piercings.

"There's a pretty girl with pink hair outside the base. I talked to her and she said she wanted to join. I told her I'd ask Leader-sama and that she had to wait there."

"Idiot!" A blond boy smacks Tobi on the back of his head. "That's probably a spy trying to destroy the Akatsuki! Why'd you show her where our base was?"

"What? No! Tobi didn't do that! Tobi's a good boy! He was coming back from the mission and she was already standing outside the base!" He yells.

"It's Sakura." A boy with raven hair and the Sharingan comments.

"Well then, what do you want to do?" Pein asks.

"I think I've seen her before. She's one of Kakashi Hatake's students, right?" A fish man asks.

"Yeah." Says the Sharingan user. "Anyways, I know what to do. Let her in and bring her to The Room."

Pein shoots him a skeptical glance then shrugs. "If you say so. C'mon everyone. Tobi, you go get her and then stand guard outside."

"Awww! But Tobi wants-"

"That's what you get for bringing her here, yeah." Deidara smirks.

"Why do you want to join the Akatsuki?" Pein asks.

"Hello to you too." I grumble. "Wow, nice room. All grey, pretty blank too, could use a woman's touch…"

"You wanna play housekeeper?" Kisame asks. "With the Akatsuki?"

"Actually, it would be designer and no I don't wanna play housekeeper with the Akatsuki, I want to join." I shoot fish face a look.

"Why?" Pumkin head asks again.

"The same reason you want to." I say casually.

"World Domination?" Pein asks.

"Didn't you hear me? I didn't say the same reason as Tobi, I said the same reason as you, Pumpkin head." I glare at nothing in particular.

"Why are you fucking glaring at me, pinky?" An old man yells. Pumpkin head holds up a hand.

"First of all, the name's Pein, but to them it's Leader-sama. Secondly, how do you know Tobi wants that?" Pum-Pein asks.

"If you get to order things off, 'Pein, but to them it's Leader', then I don't see why I can't. So, firstly, my name's Sakura, not Pinky. Got it Old Man? Secondly, Orange-face out there totally gives it away that he wants World Domination.

"As a matter of fact, I know why all of you are here. Now what's funny is that I still want to join." I smirk.

"Well, you can't because Sas-" Blondie with a ponytail gets cut off.

"Sas?" I ask. "That's new. When did he change his name? I think I liked it better before." Still can't get that smirk off my face, oh well…

"You can't join." Kakuzu says flatly. Hmm, what's a good nickname for him….?

"Yeah, you used to like Pedo-snake Jr." Deidara laughs.

"That would cause problems." Pein agrees.

"Besides, you still fucking like him." Old Man chimes in.

"You guys are stupider than I thought." I laugh. Then someone mumbles we weren't the ones who used 'Stupider' as a word.

I ignore it and go on. "I'm not in love with an idiot who abandoned me to try to kill off the rest of his clan. Would you be? On second thought, have any of you ever been in love?" I start laughing when nobody says anything.

"She's fucking laughing at us." Old Man growls.

Kakuzu gives him a you-really-are-stupid glare. "I know that."

When I stop laughing, I speak again. "Never mind. I don't want to join a big bad group that can't do anything when someone laughs at them. Even if they are all scary bad guys, it turns out they can't do anything to a measly girl that's shorter than them, let alone try to make her stop laughing."

"She's really pissing me off." Kisame growls. Can fish growl?

"We all share the mutual feeling." Kakuzu glares at me.

"Fine." Pein says. "Bring him in."

"Who? Tobi?" I laugh some more until the person actually comes into the room- then I shut up.

He's taller is my first thought. I'm a little shocked that he's wearing the Akatsuki cloak though, I guess I always imagined him to be wearing the same Uchiha clothing he wore as a kid.

"That shut her up." Old Man smirks. I ignore him.

Still the same eyes. The stand-offish air around him, everything, it's all the same. Even . . .

And that's when I burst out laughing again. Only worse this time, because I'm on the floor clutching my sides. Everyone just stares at me, even Old Man doesn't say anything.

With tears streaming down my face, I finally get back up off the floor. I just barely have my laughter under control. "You still have the same stupid hair as back then."
