Chapter 3: Stranger
"What the hell?" Tsunade shouted, slamming her fists onto the desk.
"Y-yes Tsunade sama. It's been confirmed." Shizune said, gulping as she watched the woman fume in her chair. She was rubbing her forhead now and then said,
"So Sakura's disappeared…along with three other Akatsuki members you say..?"
"Yes. A message was received from the organization this morning, asking about whether we had anything to do with their members' whereabouts. I believe they were Deidara, the masked one called Tobi and Akasuna no Sasori who have gone missing."
Tsunade then blinked at this piece of information frowning as she asked, "Deidara and Akasuna no Sasori? I thought they were killed by Sakura and Sasuke..?"
Shizune then took a deep breath as she replied saying, "Apparently the two have been revived. We're not sure about how that happened…but if Sakura disappeared, along with them, then it's possible that they would have had a confrontation if she had found them."
Tsunade then sighed saying, "Send a message back to the Akatsuki saying…" she then looked out the window thinking for a moment, "that we'll co-operate in helping them find their missing members, but ONLY if they help us find Sakura."
Shizune gulped a second time when she saw a red glint in her eye. "Yes Tsunade sama."
Meanwhile...
"I'm NOT sharing a bed with you." Sakura said while scowling at the man who was deep in thought while looking out the window, that is, until she interrupted him.
He frowned and sent a glare towards her, and replied, "Does it look like I care about your silly little needs?"
She then growled and retorted back, "Why the hell couldn't we get two separate rooms?"
He then rolled his eyes saying, "Deal with it, girl. Just don't think that it'll fun for me either, sharing a room with a kunoichi who posseses the maturity level of a five-year old."
Her eyes twitched at his comment and she was about to shout back a come back until they suddenly both heard a knock on the door.
She looked back at him with a questioning look and they both slowly went towards the door.
She then opened it cautiously and gasped when she saw the manager from the counter standing there.
"I hope you're both comfortable in your new room, and here, these are the clothes you wanted!" he said quickly, giving them a quick smile as a drop of sweat fell from his forhead. He still hadn't forgotten what had happened before…including the part where Sakura detroyed his desk in the blink of an eye.
He then quickly shoved the package in her hands and asked, "Will there be anything else you require? Maybe a romantic dinner at the restaurant downstairs? Or…maybe you'll want a 'Do not enter' sign..?"
Sakura then arched an eyebrow and asked, "What would we need a sign for?"
He then winked at them both saying, "No need to act modest, all couples need one if they have other plans that don't have anything to do with…dinner."
Her face then flared red, and growled when she heard Sasori chuckle a bit.
But before she could punch the man in the face, Sasori suddenly put his hands on her shoulders giving the man a fake smile as he said,
"That's very considerate of you sir…but we've already got something planned, right…dear?" he finished the last part with a smirk on his face as he waited for her to respond.
She took a deep breath and smiled back at Sasori saying, "That's right, darling." She spat the last word at him.
The man then clapped his hands together saying, "Wonderful, then I'll see you both whenever…and have a nice evening." He then finished, walking away.
Sakura's smile faded as she slammed the door, turning to face Sasori with flaming eyes.
He smirked and took the package of clothes that she had dropped, looking in it as he pulled out some items.
"Perfect." He then said, walking over to the bed as he put a black shirt on, but flinched when he noticed that his bandages were still slightly bloody.
Sakura walked over to the window and looked out to see students passing by, chattering with their friends as they walked home. She then smirked and said, "Hey, Sasori…?"
He turned and scowled slightly at her, asking, "What?"
"If you want…I could heal that wound of yours."
"If I were Sasori no Danna…where would I go…?" Deidara asked himself as he and Tobi each sat on a pole on the side of the street.
A pigeon flew past and then stopped in mid-air while staring at Deidara. It then swiftly flew over and sat upon his head, nestling in his hair. He growled at this and tried to scare ot off, but when he tried that, it simply dug it's claws into his scalp.
"My hair's not a damn nest, now get lost!" he shouted.
He groaned and then tried ignoring it, continuing to observe the people and machines that went by.
Tobi was humming a tune to himself and then looked down shouting, "Look Sempai! It's Sasori no Danna!"
Deidara blinked and looked down, not able to make out the young man's face who was staring up at them, but then noticed the brown eyes.
'Hey, what are you guys doing up there?" the young man called up to them, putting his hands into his pockets.
Along with the bird still attached to his head, Deidara calmly jumped down, landing on his feet as Tobi followed.
Deidara then walked right up to the man, taking in his features as he squinted his eyes.
"Erm…I've never seen you two around here before." The young man then said.
Deidara then sighed, thinking, "Where's my Danna..yeah?"
Tobi then said happily, "My name's Tobi and this is my Sempai, Deidara. We're new here!"
The young man then smiled slightly and said, "Welcome then. My name's Light, Light Yagami."
He then shook hands with Tobi, staring at his mask curiously for a moment as he asked, "What's with the mask?"
Tobi then scratched his head saying, "My religion."
"Right…well, are you both coming to school as well?"
Deidara and Tobi then stared at eachother for a moment, excusing themselves for a moment as they huddled and discussed the situation.
"Let's go with him Sempai!"
Deidar frowned and said, "I don't trust this guy. I say we first find Danna and the kunoichi. Otherwise, you can go with the guy, that way we won't look too suspicious, and I'll come back for you when I find him, yeah."
Tobi then nodded excitedly as he jumped up saying, "Deidara has business to do, so I can go with you, Light!"
The young man then smiled slightly and said, "Alright. I guess I'll see you around, Deidara."
"See you later, Sempai!" Tobi said.
"Sure, yeah." Deidara mumbled, growling when the bird pecked his head again.
Tobi and Light then walked away, continuing until Tobi was sure that Deidara was out of sight. He then stopped in his steps and looked back at the young man saying in a much deeper tone, "I never knew that Shinigami existed…and how interesting to actually see one actually following you, Light."
Light froze for a moment, turning to look at the masked man with a dark look.
"Wait, so this guy can see me?" A rough voice suddenly said outloud as it'd hovering figure appeared next to Light, who simply stared at Tobi with his hands in his pockets as he said, "So you can see him..?"
"Yes…I recall seeing it yesterday when Deidara found a black notebook and tossed it over the side of a school building."
Light widened his eyes at this statement, remembering when he saw the black notebook suddenly fall down from outiside the school window.
"I never expected something like this…but this should be interesting. How about we make a deal then?"
The masked man then arched an eyebrow behind his mask as he asked, "What kind of deal?
Light then smirked slightly as he closed his eyes for a moment, saying, "I'll tell you all you need to know about the notebook, if you tell me all about where you come from and who you are."
The man pondered at this for a moment and then replied saying, "It's a deal then, Light Yagami."
"Alright…well, we can discuss all of this after school, so let'sbe on our way, shall we, Tobi?" Light then said, turning as he walked casually with a Shinigami and masked man on either side.
"Call me Madara." The masked man said, grinning under his mask.
The shinigami then chuckled saying, "Humans really are…interesting!"
"Why did I let you convince me into going through with this?" Sasori groaned, scowling at his new attirement in the mirror as Sakura then came up to him saying,
"Because, this way, we'll be able to fit in without looking suspicious to other people. And besides, I healed your injuries, didn't I?" she finished smirking as she watched him try adjusting his tie.
"And anyways, I'm interested in seeing what the school system is like here." She finished, dragging him out of the hotel room.
"Now I know why I despise you." He grumled as they both left the hotel and waved to good bye to the manager.
Sasori was wearing a typical brown school uniform with a tie whereas Sakura wore a white blazer and skirt which was just above her knees, along with black shoes and a tie.
She smiled along the way, excited about what it would be like going to a school in a different world.
"Oh, stop complaining." She said, grinning when she saw him scowl at her.
