A.N: In this chapter, I hope it's not too confusing; I will not only talk about Sakura but also about the Akatsuki. If not in this chapter then, for sure, in the next. So I'm going to try and work it and see how it goes. If you have any suggestions please let me know, because this is my first time writing, so all the help I can get is much appreciated!

I don't own Inuyasha or Naruto. I wish I did though lol

Please Reviewand comment: D

Chapter 4: Japan

With Sakura

As Sakura walked to the airport, 2 hours after leaving Sesshomaru in her apartment, she couldn't help but smirk. She was proud of her little stunt. Sure, she's heartbroken, but she decided that if after 8 years he still didn't know what he meant to her, then she was better off alone. "Cha! Speak for yourself cuz I have needs!" Inner hollered, while watching the sex video they recorded. Sakura rolled her eyes and replied, "Just shut up. I have given all my love to him, but what did I get in return? A broken heart. So stop your pestering and leave me alone" she scolded her inner self and continued inside the airport to buy a one way ticket to Japan.

She boarded her flight and recalled her conversation with her Inu Papa a few hours ago. "He was so sad…" Sakura sighed, "But I have to do this. There's no turning back now" She assured herself. "I hope Inuyasha and Miroku forgive me for leaving without them..." The pinkette closed her eyes, and let Inu No Taisho's word sink in.

FLASHBACK

Sakura loaded her suitcase in her hummer and started the engine. As she sat in the driver's side she thought over her options. She, Inuyasha, and Miroku had planned, years ago, that they were going to join her when she decided to leave for Japan. At that time she was so happy, but now not so much. She wasn't expecting to be betrayed by her "EX". If she lets Inu and Miroku go with her she knew Sesshomaru would know where to find her, and that's the last thing she wanted. Mind made up she drove off to her Papa Taisho's mansion.

With Inu No Taisho

He paced back and forth. It's 4:30am, but he just couldn't sleep. Sesshomaru hasn't arrived and he won't answer his phone. He tried calling Sakura but she had her cell off. He sighed, sitting down on his love seat. "I have a bad feeling…" he said to himself. He closed his eyes for a few minutes when there was a knock on the door. "Who can that be at this hour?" he panicked, thinking it was the police to tell him his son was in an accident. As he opened the door, he saw it was Sakura. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He smiled at her, while inviting her inside, but frowned when she said they needed to talk. "What's wrong?" he asked her seriously. She looked him in the eyes and told him, "I'm not good at this sort of thing, but I know you deserved to be told in person, and not by voicemail." Inu No Taisho felt his body go cold as she continued, "Saying goodbye to you is very difficult for me and ...I feel as if a part of me is being separated and going off to do something else." He let a tear fall as he realized what was happening. "I'm too used to relying on you and the boys for everything, but that has to stop tonight Papa Taisho." She looked him straight in the eyes and with resolve told him, "I'm leaving to Japan today. Alone. I was hoping you could tell they guys for me. You know they'll tag along if they knew. "She tried smiling but he knew it was forced. She was hurting just as much as he and it broke his heart.

He hugged her tight. Afraid to let go because he knows afterwards he won't see her for a very long time. "Why do you keep going on like everything's okay?" He asked the pinkette in his arms. "It's okay to cry Sakura. I know you're hurting. But please don't say goodbye to me. You are as much my daughter as Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are my sons. I love you, and if this is your decision then I understand." He looked at her with such sadness it broke her heart to know she's the reason he was so sad. "I'll talk to the guys, but please be careful. I want you to keep in touch or I'll let Inuyasha and Miroku hunt you down and force you back" he threatened. She just chuckled because she knew he meant it. After she left Inu No Taisho took out his Cell to make a call to his best friend, Tsunade.

End Flashback

Authors POV:

Sakura smiled and decided to get some sleep. She'd need to be well rested for when she arrives in Japan in a few hours. She was a bit nervous. This would be the first time in 13 years that she'd be going to Japan. She's excited to see Naruto and Sasuke again. Besides the fan mail she receives from them every year, she hardly knows what they been up to, except for the fact they both attend Konoha University, who is owned and run by Tsunade's husband, Jiraya Sanin, and that they miss her as much as she misses them.

Speaking of her manager and mother figure, Tsunade told her, after receiving a call from her that morning; she had taken care of her living arrangements. She also promised the Pinkette to help her with anything she needs while there in Japan, and had insisted that no matter what, she needed to remember she was still a celebrity, therefore she had to live up to her image. Tsunade wasn't naïve. She knew the Pinkette has killed and will kill again. She intended to avenge her father and find her sorry excuse for a mother, and Tsunade couldn't be prouder. In fact, she supports her 100%. Being raised by none other than her best friend, Inu No Taisho, she was sure that Sakura could handle herself, especially now that she's immortal. She had received a call from her old friend, early in the morning, and she promised to look out for her and keep him updated.

Sakura knew how her manger can be and decided that, yes; she needed to rest for whatever awaits her. So for the next 14 hours she slept.

14 hours later In Japan

Tsunade's POV

It was 8:00pm, and Tsunade was impatiently waiting for Sakura to arrive, while her perverted husband flirted with random women in the airport. She was about to beat the shit out of him, when someone yelled, "Tsunade!" both her and Jiraya turned to watch the pink beauty, as her husband refers to the pinkette, run and embrace the older woman. "Sakura! It's so good to see you, how was the flight?" she asked the shorter girl, while trying to ignore her drooling husband. "I slept through the whole flight, but I could use a shower" the pinkette laughed making Tsunade smiled fondly at her. She really did love her as her own daughter. She was about to comment, when Jiraya glomped Sakura making the young girl slap him yelling, "Hentai!" The blonde woman shook her head at her husband's stupidity. Of course he'd get slapped, this is the first time Sakura would be meeting Jiraya in person.

Normal POV

Sakura couldn't believe her luck. She just arrived and already she's being sexually assaulted by an old geezer. "Cha! Show him what happens when you mess with us!" Inner Sakura encouraged. The Pinkette was about to punch the white haired man, when Tsunade decided to help her foolish husband. "Sakura, I see you've met my husband Jiraya" the older woman said while pointing at the smiling man. Sakura gasped! "How can her manager be married to... to that thing?!" the pinkette rudely though to herself as her Inner chuckled. Tsunade must have guessed what she was thinking because she answered; "We grew up together and somehow fell in love" she clarified for the wide eyed girl. At that point Jiraya decided to wisely point out, "She just couldn't resist my sexy body" he chuckled, earning him another slap from his wife. "It's very nice to finally meet you "Rosita", I'm a big fan, of your work. I feel like I practically know you, with how much my beautiful wife talks about you." He winked at the girl making her blush, and Tsunade snort. "Ha! What a load of Bullshit! You DO know mostly everything about her, because you've been collecting her, Picture, magazines, CD's, Posters. Etc. for "inspiration" for your perverted novels." Tsunade corrected making the older man sweat drop at being discovered. It was true. Not only was he the owner of Konoha University, but he was also a very well-known author for adult novels, such as Ichi Ichi Paradise. Sakura couldn't help but laugh at the two. "They really do make a good couple" she said happily to herself which wasn't missed by said couple.

As Sakura arrived at her new apartment, she couldn't help but sweat drop at how big it was. When Tsunade mentioned she had everything taken care of, she wasn't kidding. She bought her a 5 bedroom, 2 story apartment with a large living room and an equally large kitchen. She also took care of the groceries and furniture. Sakura gasped as she saw her new 90" Class Led Smart 3D TV and home theater system. Sakura was impressed at how well her manager knew her. "Damn…" she thought as she scanned her collections of movies and CD's. Tsunade knew how the Pinkette felt about maids so she didn't hire any. Sakura preferred to cook, clean, and do her own laundry, and as her manager, she obliged to her wishes. The Pinkette was speechless. She really wasn't expecting her closet to be supplied with clothes and shoes. Tsunade really out did herself. "Maybe I should do that concert she's been bugging me about, as a thank you." She thought out loud.

Before Tsunade and Jiraya left, they handed her some keys. They saw her confused expression so they explained, "It's a welcome back present from us" Jiraya announced smirking at the beautiful girl in front of him. "I know you don't like personal drivers so I thought you might enjoy your own ride" Tsunade smiled at Sakura's happy and excited expression. "It's a red hummer. An exact replica as the one you left in New York." Sakura literally jumped on the older woman yelling excitedly about how much she loves her. Making the couple laugh, and after promising to pick her up in 2 hours to have dinner, left to get ready. Sakura did the one thing she's been dying for, since being stuck in the plane… She went to take a long shower!

A.N: Well this chapter was a bit short, but it was necessary. I figured Sakura could meet Hidan at the restaurant; Tsunade and Jiraya are taking her too, where he'll be their waiter or something. I'm not sure but I'll work on it. I promise she'll meet all the Akatsuki in the next chapter though!

Please COMMENT and REVIEW. I really enjoy reading everyone's opinions.
