I ran with the plot bunny akatsuki-haruno posted:
"i have this unwritten plot bunny in my head where Kakashi and Sakura love each other and are together, then everyone finds out and they forbid their relationship and in return Kakashi and Sakura run away and join the Akatsuki, now filled with hate towards their old village
ah but only if i wrote"
So that belongs to them^

"We can't possibly be considering this. It's crazy, absurd, and goes against everything we stand for." The woman glared at her companion, intrigued and disgusted of the idea at the same time. Sighing audibly, she rubbed her forehead. It was a habit she'd formed ever since she'd gotten the purple seal. "We cant'..." She trailed off.
Across from her sat an older man, hands rubbing nervously together as they rested atop a worn down table, "But if we do it in the right way, it could be good for all parties. We don't have to let go of our morals, Sakura" His lone eye held a great amount of weariness that didn't show in his words.
"How the hell can we pull that off, Kakashi?" Sakura stopped her rubbing, hands coming to rest over his. "The only other person whose been able to do it lost everyone he loved."
"Uchiha Itachi was a different case. Given time, I believe our friends will understand why we did this." Kakashi let out a small chuckle, "Maa, I know Naruto definitely will." The woman shared the laugh with him. If their blonde friend could still love his traitor-turned probation-nin teammate, he could forgive them.
"I...I guess we could. Besides, there's only a few of them left. All we'd have to do is make sure they won't hurt others. And...maybe, if it's at all possible, we could make it our own."
He grinned at her suggestion, "Make it our own? In what way?"
She hit him lightly, "Stop laughing at me! I'm serious!" He continued to chuckle anyways. Ignoring him, Sakura continued on with her idea, "We could make it an unofficial police force. One that doesn't adhere to any particular village. People who fight for the common man." Happy with her idea despite it's cliched roots, the pink-haired woman beamed at her companion.
Kakashi's grey eye gazed back at her in serious contemplation, "The idea has merit, we'll just need to work out the finer details." Standing up from the table, he walked towards their two packed traveling bags on the couch, "But we can deal with that later. For now, we have to actually get into the organization." He paused, the bag swinging in his hand. "Well, until we join what's left of it, that is."
"Who's still alive anyways? They all disappeared after the war, those that were alive." She copied his actions, walking to get her own bag.
The silver-haired man paused in thought for a moment before answering, "Diedara, Konan, Kisame and Itachi,"
"Itachi? I thought Sasuke killed him?" Bags on their back, the two walked to the entryway, stoping in front of the door.
"That was just a rumor. Sasuke told me that Itachi confessed the real reason behind the massacre. They patched their relationship up as much they could." He put his hand on the doorknob, "I don't believe they've spoken since."
"Oh." She blinked. Taking a second to settle her thoughts, she let Kakashi hold the door open for her. Sakura stepped into the night air, taking a deep breath. Glancing back at her companion, she smiled sadly. "We're really doing this then, aren't we?"
"Yes."
She held out her hand, which he gladly took. "I hope you realize I'm only doing this because I love you, Kakashi Hatake." He laughed at the formal address.
"I hope you realize that I only thought of this because I love you so much, Sakura Haurno." He copied the formality.
The pair jumped up onto the roof of the building, still holding hands. There they paused, gazing out over their village. It had been their home only hours before. Now...now it was a wall of cruel, judging faces.
"Damn them." Kakashi muttered, letting his emotions spill over into words.
Sakura joined in, her own anger still smoldering in her chest, even hours after the incident. "They can all go to hell. Especially the council. If they hadn't made that stupid law about teacher and student relations..." Her grip on Kakashi's hand tightened, "We've both been equals for years. Hell, I've been a jonin for three of them!" She snarled quietly.
Kakashi tugged at her slightly, pulling her away from the judgement. "Let's go. We've decided on this course and if we don't leave soon, it won't be an option anymore."
She let him pull her, let him tear her gaze away from her one time home. Before jumping onto the next roof, onto the path that would take them out of here, she leaned over to give Kakashi a quick kiss on the cheek. It didn't matter that their village wouldn't allow their love, they'd live in the wild if it meant they could be together. Underneath his mask, Kakashi smiled.
Racing over the rooftops, the began their journey to join the Akatsuki.
