NORMAL P.O.V.
Sakura stumbled through Amegakure. It was drizzling softly making it seem like mist. Skaura's injuries were throbbing. Her arm was bleeding again since she didn't change or clean the bandages earlier. Thoughts swirled around in her head making her dizzy.
Ok! That's it! I need to forget about what happened and calm down! Sakura thought.
'Finally! You're doing something!' Inner exclaimed. 'Let's go get drunk and laid!'
For once, Sakura agreed with Inner. Not the getting laid part. Just the getting drunk part. She limped to the closest bar and sat beside a large man. A really big man. He had about 3 sake bottles in front of him but he didn't give a single indication that he was drunk. Beside him was another man. He was just drinking tea. Sakura shrugged it off and holared for the bartender.
"Bottle of sake please!" she shouted.
"A-are you sure? Maybe some tea? Or-"
"Just get me sake." Sakura hissed glaring at the bartender.
The bartender hurried off the get Sakura her order. She sighed and massaged her temples. Sakura reached into her bag and brought out her hitai-ate and a kunai. She brushed her fingers along the smooth metal remembering all the memories. With a flick of her wrist, Sakura made a deep cut through her hitai-ate. She tied it around her neck just as her sake came. She snatched the bottle and drank out of that directly. One hour later, Sakura had finished drinking three bottles and was obviously hammered. The two men beside her didn't do anything.
"That's enough sake for you pinky." the man beside her said.
Sakura drunkly looked to her side.
"What are you? *hic* My dad?" she slurred.
She swore she heard a chuckle from the man. He removed his hat and pulled his cloak down to show Sakura his face. Gravity defying blue hair, blue tinted skin, gills. Skaura looked unimpressed.
"Kisame Hoshigaki." she slurred. "And that, *hic* must mean that's Itachi *hic* Uchiha."
Itachi removed his hat and also pulled his cloak lower. Sakura took another sip of her sake before being thrown over Kisame's shoulder.
"What *hic* are you doing?! *hic*" she exclaimed.
"We have orders from Leader-sama to capture you alive." Itachi said.
"This is kidnapping. Not capturing."
"Same thing Pinky." Kisame said.
Sakura gave a small pout and pounded weakly on Kisame's back. He just chuckled and threw some money on the table for all the sake.
"Let. Me. Go." Sakura said. "I can walk."
"What? No attempt to escape?" Kisame said.
Sakura glared at his back. Kisame and Itachi jumped into the forest ignoring the rain. Sakura was silent for a couple minutes before she was going to go crazy.
"I always wondered." Sakura said.
"Wondered what?" Kisame asked.
"About the blonde guy that looks like a barbie doll and has the mouth-on-hands bloodline." Sakura said.
"Deidara? What about him?" Kisame asked getting curious.
"Since he has mouths on his hands... Does he have mouths on his... lower regions?"
Silence.
One.
Two.
Three.
Kisame burst out laughing.
"You'll have to ask him that yourself kitten. I'm not looking down there." Kisame laughed.
"What about Sasori?" Sakura said. "Does he have a reproductive organ? Since he's a puppet and all. Does he have different sizes? Can he take it off and clean it? What about your leader. Does he have piercings on his jewels?"
By now, Kisame was cracking up. He almost dropped Sakura four times. And Itachi, was struggling to keep a smile/smirk off his face.
"I like you Kitten." Kisame laughed.
KONOHA...
"W-what d-do you m-mean?" Hinata stuttered. "Sa-Sakura ca-can't be d-d-dead!"
"I'm sorry Hinata, but Skaura is gone." Tsunade said solemnly.
"I highly doubt that Ugly is dead." Sai said also not wanting one of his precious friends to be dead.
"I'm sorry."
"Did you even search for her body?" Shikamaru asked.
"I searched for hours for her body." Karin sniffed. "I couldn't find it."
"Just how did she die?" Neji asked.
"She woke up early and I follwed her curious to where she was going, and then...I saw her with the AKATSUKI!" Karin wailed. "She threatened that if I told anyone what I saw, she would kill me! Bu-but after I left, I heard a scream so I went back to Sakura and I saw so much blood. Everywhere."
Hinata was shaking. Shaking with rage. She had never heard a lie that fake before.
"It's ok Karin-chan! It's not your fault!" Naruto said. "If that bitch threatened to kill you and was working with the Akatsuki, then she deserved to die."
SLAP
The sound echoed around the room. A red mark appeared on Naruto's face. He brought his hand up to his cheek and looked at who slapped him. Hinata was shaking. Tears flowed from her eyes.
"What the hell Hinata?!" Nauto yelled.
"Shut up! You deserved it! How can you say Sakura-chan deserves to die?!" Hinata yelled. "I can't believe you would believe Karin's lie like that! Sakura is alive! I know she is! Karin is just a liar!"
"Neji! Restrain Hinata! Right now!" Tsunade ordered.
Neji made to move to stop her.
"What are you waiting for?" Tsunade snapped.
"I'm afraid I cannot obey your orders Hokage-sama." Neji stated coldly. "I, in fact, agree with everything Hinata says."
"This is all so troublesome." Shikamaru said.
"Someone who finally understands-"
"I mean, you're all troublesome." Shikamaru said interrupting Tsunade and glaring sharply at Naruto, Karin, Sasuke, Kakashi and Ino. "It's troublesome to have to put up with idiots and liars."
With that, Shikamaru poofed out leaving a very stunned Hokage. Sai, Hinata and Neji followed shortly leaving nothing behind.
BACK TO SAKURA...
Sakura was sound asleep on Kisame's shoulder. Itachi had to admit that the pink-haired kunoichi was certainly entertaining. After Sakura had fallen asleep, Kisame and Itachi travelled in silence until they reached the Akatsuki base. Itachi and Kisame brought Sakura to Pein's office.
"Leader-sama, we have brought the kunoichi." Itachi said.
"I trust that you had no problem." Pein said.
"Nope. She came willingly." Kisame said. "She slashed her hitai-ate."
"Itachi, bring Sakura to a guest room and have Konan bring her some new clothing when she wakes up." Pein ordered.
"Hai, Leader-sama."
Kisame and Itachi left Pein's office.
"Well! I'm going to grab something to eat!" Kisame said heading for the kitchen.
Itachi said nothing. He carried Sakura bridal style up two flights of stairs and opened a door three down to the left from his. He set the feather light kunoichi on the bed and tucked her in. She looked so peaceful. So unlike the distraught and lonely ninja she was when she entered the bar. Itachi glanced at Sakura one last time before closing the door.
A COUPLE HOURS LATER...
Sakura had no idea where she was. An she remembered nothing. Her head felt like it was splitting open. No matter how much Sakura just wanted to go back to sleep, she forced herself on her feet and took baby steps to the door. She cautiously peered out of her room. No one was in the hall. She walked silently down two flights of stairs. The place looked friendly enough. No rats, some garbage, nicely lit hallways, multiple rooms. Sakura follwed her sense of hearing to what seemed like the living room. She saw four men on a couch watching tv. A large blue shark looking man, a blonde that looked like Ino, a man with slicked back silver hair and a redhead like Gaara. She identified them as, Sharky, Barbie, Old Man and... Sasori?!
What the...!? I thought I killed him! Sakura thought.
'Oh shut up and enjoy the sight! Be glad a hunk like him is alive!' Inner shouted.
Sasori turned his head and caught a flash of pink. He narrowed his eyes and realized that it was Sakura Haruno. The woman who killed him. She looked extremly awkward standing there not knowing what to do.
"What are you doing here?" Sasori asked.
Deidara, Hidan and Kisame turned their attention to the pink-haired kunoichi. Her clothes were slightly wrinkled and she had light bed head hair. Hidan whistled lowly.
"That is one hot fucking bitch!" Hidan yelled. "I'd fuck her."
"Sorry, I'm not interested in old men." Sakura scowled.
Deidara and Kisame cracked up while Hidan lunged at Sakura. Being at ANBU level, Sakura still knew how to survive without chakra. She jumped to the side landed clumsily on her feet. Her injuries were throbing. She did a backflip to avoid a kunai only to regret her choice. She fell to her knees and coughed. She had forgotten about her still healing punctured wound. Hidan stopped attacking when he saw Sakura coughing up blood.
"What the fuck?" he said.
"I'm *cough cough* good!" Sakura coughed.
"You ok Kitten?" Kisame asked.
"Just peachy." Sakura coughed again.
"What did you do to our guest Hidan?" a voice asked.
"I didn't do anything to the bitch. She just started coughing like a pussy." Hidan said.
"Hey Konan, what's wrong with Kitten?" Kisame asked.
Sakura coughed one last time before drawing in a shaky breath.
"Nothing is wrong. Just healing." Sakura said. "Where am I? Why am I here?"
"You're in the Akatsuki base. Pein-sama wants you to be our medic." Konan said.
"Medic?" Sakura echoed. "As much as I would love to, I can't."
"Why not?"
"Can I sacrifice the bitch to Jashin-sama?" Hidan asked.
Everyone ignored him.
"We will us force to make you our medic if you do not become our medic willingly." Sasori threatened.
"I mean, that I can't because I have no chakra." Sakura said lifting up her shirt.
She showed them the seal.
"How long is it going to last?" Konan asked.
"Hmmm... Maybe five more days?" Sakura said.
"I see." Konan said thoughtfully. "Would you like a bath?"
"That would be great." Sakura said gratefully.
Sakura, with Konan's help, got up to her feet.
"Oh Kitten?" Kisame said.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"Welcome to the Akatsuki."
Hey guys. Thanks for reading. Please inform me of any spelling, mistakes or grammar.
I am going to change the story a little so that Asuma and Jiraiya are still alive, all of the Akatuski members are alive, and I forgot to mention in the last chapter that Suigetsu and Juugo are also a part of Konoha now.
So, thanks for reading again. I DO NOT own Naruto.
