The first person we came up to, was sitting on a chair in a room with statues around, and some paintings, it seemed like a small art studio as there were boxes of clay it looked like. His blond hair was down at the time, and his long bangs were moved to covering his left eye. He hadn't noticed the presence of Sasori or Sakura when they walked in. All he was doing was playing with some clay that was in his hand, as he was creating some insects for use later on. Sasori made sure Sakura didn't speak when she was about too, he had his hand up as he watched Deidara make the insects, knowing Sakura forgot about the mouths on Deidara's hand's. It seemed as if Sasori wanted to watch Deidara make his creations, but as well for Sakura to watch. Sasori finally put his hand down then coughed a bit. Deidara looked over to him and Sakura, then stood up smiling.
"Well, it seems the... Sakura finally woke up." He stared at her and then looked at Sasori. "What?"
"The what?" Sakura asked as she saw Sasori who seemed mad at Deidara for almost saying something he shouldn't have. She then looked at Deidara who was looking back at Sakura as if to answer, but before he could, Sasori answered.
"Deidara is a bit of an idiot at times. He –"
"Hey! I am not an idiot!" Deidara huffed some.
"Like I was saying, Deidara sometimes says things before his mind can work, so he stops talking to remember that he needs to think before he speaks." Sasori smiled again.
"Exactly what Sasori said, Sakura, I do speak without thinking. I am sorry, my name is Deidara." He extended his hand as Sakura looked at the mouths on his hand again. He then laughed. "Don't be afraid, they don't bite, they something rather enjoyable." He then grinned at the last part he said, as he kept his arm extended.
Sakura stared at his hand then up at him. "I am good for now, I really don't want my hand to be licked, especially by another…hand. I am sorry, but I will not shake your hand till it is covered up with a glove." She looked at Sasori who started to crack up laughing at what Sakura had said to Deidara, who now seemed a bit hurt.
"Well that doesn't make me very happy, you used to love my hands." He smiled and Sasori glared at Deidara again. "I am sorry! They just come out!"
"Then stop trying to say stuff that is perverted, Deidara." He sighed. "I think we should go on to let you meet someone else, Deidara seems in a…happy mood." He put a hand on Sakura's back as Deidara tried to argue, but they started to walk away before he could say something.
Sakura sighed. "Is he really always that perverted? Even to a girl who doesn't remember him?" She looked back up at Sasori.
"No, he is normally more calm, not very perverted. He normally just talks and laughs about things, he likes to make jokes, so he is thinking he is making a normal joke." He shrugged. "Lets see who else is home, Pein, you will meet later, Zetsu is out…eating. Konan is with Pein, Hidan is here with Kakuzu, and Kisame is with Itachi, then there is Tobi who is somewhere god knows where. Who do you want to meet next?"
"I don't really know, maybe Itachi and Kisame." Sakura looked down as she was trying to figure out if she really wanted to meet them next, either way she already said it so that's who they were going to next.
Sasori didn't care who was next on the list, he just wanted to get this over with. Sakura hadn't noticed yet, but he was actualy acting happy that she was there for any other reasons instead of Naruto coming to save her. Just as everyone else acted in the Akatsuki that she was apart of their group, they all acted like they were her close friends. Right now they were trying to find Itachi and Kisame, as they weren't where Sasori thought they were, which was in the kitchen, as they had told him they would go eat first before doing anything else. They finally found Itachi and Kisame outside, as Kisame was swimming around in the lake, as it was like their own personal pool, which it was for the Akatsuki.
Sasori nodded towards them. "Go and talk to them, I actually have some business to do right now. You can walk around and go where you please to Sakura. Just remember, do not stare into Itachi's eyes too much" He started to walk off before she could even say anything to him or to stop him.
Sakura was afraid to go up to Itachi and Kisame at the moment, but she looked over at them as she saw the black haired man staring over at her as if he already knew that she was there. She knew now she couldn't back out of anything or run away. The black haired, red eye man started to get up off the rock that he was sitting on then looked at Kisame and said something, as Kisame looked over, and was smiling and got out of the lake. He started to shake a bit trying to get the water off him before he got the towel. Itachi started to walk over to Sakura as she was looking away then. Itachi walked up to Sakura and stopped a foot away from her, as Kisame was right next to him, smiling.
"Hello Sakura." Kisame said, as she looked at him. "How are you feeling right now?"
"Kisame.." Itachi closed his eyes sighing. "You really think that she is better like she used to be before, when she can't remember anything about us?"
"You are right." He sighed and rubbed his head. "I am Kisame." He smiled again.
Itachi shook his head. "And as I said your name just then. " Itachi looked at Sakura. "Sorry about him, I am Itachi, his teammate."
"It is….nice to meet you, again I think." Sakura looked away and rubbed her arm as she didn't know what exactly to ask, she didn't want to look at Itachi, for some reason afraid that he might do something.
"It is nice for you to meet us again, especially since you and I did have something going on before, Sakura-chan." Itachi crossed his arms. "Will you look at people when they speak to you and you speak to them? I won't do anything to harm you."
Kisame walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "You don't want to look at the big old man who hurt your heart right now, do you?"
Itachi glared at Kisame who then laughed. "Kisame….I will hurt you later if you don't stop that type of joking."
"I don't remember anything…" She stared at Kisame. "I feel as this is the first time I am meeting you both. The first time I have ever spoken to you or seen you."
" Oh well, I need to go somewhere." He hugged Sakura and then walked away smiling knowing Itachi wanted to be alone with Sakura.
Itachi looked at Sakura, finally looking up and down her form. "Those are not your clothes are they?"
Sakura looked at the clothes then back at Itachi. "No they are not...why do you ask?"
"Just wondering. You need to spend a day with me, you really do Sakura. Just you and I."
"I think I can do that, after I get used to everything. I think I need to just relax since of what happened before. I would love to spend a day with you though, Itachi." She smiled softly at him.
"Good, because I will hold you to it. I will make sure we can spend a day with each other." He then looked away and stared up at the sky. "It is still only afternoon still."
"It is still only afternoon, I am surprised it is," Sakura looked up, and then looked back down and started to walk back to the lake.
"I heard you got to speak to Deidara earlier, how was that?" Itachi looked back at the lake.
"It was…fine. He was very perverted…Kind of like Kisame."
"They normally are perverted like that." He yawned then and closed his eyes after he finished yawning.
"Hahaha, I guess you're right, But it is how they both are, there are people who are less perverted, then there are those who are more perverted." She smiled at Itachi.
Itachi opened his eyes, sighed, and moved to her side. "We need to talk more, but even I need to go. You should go meet up with Konan and go do some…'girl' stuff. She will be able to help out more, that is if she is not busy Sakura. I will need to talk to you later." He moved his hand as it to touch her, but he moved away and then turned around walking away.
Sakura stared off after him and sighed, then looked down, sighing. She then looked back up and started to walk away from where she was standing, going back to the mansion. She walked into the mansion and started to walk around as her stomach growled from hunger. She went into the kitchen where she saw a blue haired girl, she thought instinctively that this was Konan, the only other girl in the Akatsuki. Sakura smiled a little as she walked up to the refrigerator to get something to make, and eat. Konan looked at her and then moved to sitting down on the chair that was next to the large dinning table in the kitchen and watched Sakura, as she made a sandwich.
Konan finally got up and walked to Sakura after the sandwich was finished. "Sakura, how do you like it here so far?" Konan went and grabbed a hold of Sakura's arm and pulled her slowly to a walk, to leave the kitchen, grabbing a cloak and putting it on herself, then grabbing one for Sakura then putting it on her. She put the hood over both their heads then.
"I like it, I just feel…off, as if this place is very new to me. Must be because of the fact that I do not have any memory of this place." She smiled shyly as she walked, now looking down.
"Well like you said, you forgot everything. But it will come back to you one of these days. We are all your friends." Konan grinned and looked at Sakura. "Have you met Pein yet?"
"No, I have not, I have met Deidara, Itachi and Kisame, and you." She looked at Konan then. "I know I need to meet...Pein."
"You do, he is the leader of our group, but you still need to meet everyone else, just the same." Konan then let go of Sakura. "We should get you new clothes too, you can't keep wearing Sasori's clothes."
"I know, but I do not know where we can get clothes for me, do you know of any place?" Sakura looked at Konan as they were going outside then.
"How would I not know where we can get somet clothes? You think I make the clothes I wear on my back? Hell no, I buy clothes just like the next person who needs clothes. So now we need to get you clothes so you can wear them."
"Wait, if I lived herem, wouldn't I already have some clothes to wear?" Sakura stared at Konan confused then.
"You weren't with us when we moved so we couldn't move your clothes over to the new house. We couldn't bring your clothes without you, you were missing for a few weeks, and we couldn't find you." Konan looked ahead of them. "So we need to get you new clothes. It will be fun, don't worry." She smiled back at Sakura.
"Thank you Konan." She smiled then looked down. "I just need some clothes, I do not need anything flashy." Sakura looked back up as we were still walking. Konan and Sakura walked in silence then, walking towards a town Sakura didn't even know was there. When she saw the town she was surprised but didn't show or say anything, as they kept walking.
