"Sh-Shikamaru?!" Sakura watched as said person jumped down into the alleyway not far from them.

Kakuzu growled and pulled Sakura by her upper arm just a little bit closer to him, taking up a defensive stance in the meantime.

Shikamaru noticed and put his hands in front of him, "Easy now, I'm just here to talk."

"Shikamaru, you can easily call anbu, attack, succeed, capture one Akastuki member and a missing nin and your telling me all you want to do is talk?" Sakura asked him skeptically, still in Kakuzu's hold.

"I could, but that's all too troublesome, so I'm just settling with talking." Shikamaru answered with a stiff face. He earned a hardened glare from Kakuzu and a frustrated huff from Sakura. Their defenses lightened and they both relaxed just a little, giving Shikamaru the go ahead.

"Well then, how have you been Sakura?" Shikamaru asked lightly letting a smirk dance across his face.

"Cut the crap Shikamaru, what the hell do you want?" Sakura snarled at him, her patience wearing thin.

His face was quickly wiped free of any emotion and he asked in a strictly business tone, "Okay then, why'd you do it?"

She chuckled with dry humor, of course that's what he wanted to talk about, "Do what Shikamaru? Leave, join the Akatsuki, come back, or eat that crayon when I was four?"

"You know what I mean Sakura, why'd you do it, any of it?"

She let a smile play her lips, really, why was this so amusing? She just didn't know, "Shikamaru, here I thought you were a genius. Well, I left because I wanted to, I joined the Akatsuki because I wanted to, I came back because I had to, and I believe I ate that crayon because I was hungry."

Shikamaru growled at her false humor, "God damn it! Sakura, you made her cry! I'm not going to let you stand here and say 'because I wanted to' knowing it's tearing them apart!"

Sakura looked taken aback for a moment, "Who's them?"

"Them? Who do you think Sakura? Who'd cry over you leaving? Your friends of course. Tenten, Hinata…even Temari…and Ino. Ino still hasn't really stopped either. You know she blames herself for it, she says she should have known what you were planning. She keeps telling us all that it was her job as your best friend to know everything about you, and here she didn't even know you were that unhappy here. She's hurting Sakura, and I don't know what to do." Shikamaru finished off, looking down in disappointment.

Sakura watched him, eyes indifferent.

"Shikamaru, If you care so much about Ino crying put an arm around her and tell her everything's going to be okay. Tell her I'll come back one day. Tell her it's not her fault, tell her anything you want." Sakura turned and was now facing Kakuzu's chest. "Just know this Shikamaru, none of it's true. I won't be coming back, and none of it will ever be okay." Kakuzu turned around as well and they both started walking to the end of the alleyway to try and make their escape unnoticed.

"Sakura wait." He watched her stop, "I'll…" He paused and sighed deeply, knowing exactly what he'd be doing in a few minutes, knowing how badly he'd be betraying Konoha, "I'll distract the anbu at the gate, giving you a chance to get away."

Sakura didn't even bother to turn around, she just mumbled a stoic "okay" and Shikamaru made his way off to the front gate.

"Do you honestly think he's going to help us get away?" Kakuzu asked while he and Sakura peeked around the corner of a wall, watching Shikamaru work his magic.

"Yeah, I do. Shikamaru's not the type to lie. I really don't know what he gains from helping us escape, but I do know he's going to do what he says." Sakura filled him in on a little bit of the qualities of Shikamaru.

They saw the anbu talking to Shikamaru suddenly take off for the Hokage's tower, leaving the their exit from Konoha unguarded.

They quickly made their way over to Shikamaru and gave him a quick thanks, then picked up their feet again and made it through the gates, hearing a "Sakura, be careful" trailing behind them.

"Sakura, Kakuzu, we heard a lot of commotion coming from inside the walls, is everything alright?" Zetsu's light half asked in concern once they were in view.

"Yeah, we'll explain later. For now let's just get out of here, we don't need any anbu dogs tracking us to the Headquarters." Kakuzu replied running past Deidara and Zetsu with Sakura, having them catch up in seconds.

"SAKURA-CHAN!!" Tobi screamed and glomped the shocked Kunoichi.

Deidara scowled and grabbed tobi by the back of his cloak, "Get off her yeah."

Hidan snickered and pointed an accusing finger at him after greeting Sakura with a perverted smirk, "You, little bitch, are jealous."

"What un? No! No no no. No…no." He closed his eyes and crossed his arms, sticking his nose in the air, "No."

"Pfft, all the damn no's are only making you seem guilty." Hidan antagonized.

Deidara growled, ready to pounce the jashinist.

The giant blue shark face walked in just in time to stall Deidara's pounce. "Pinky! Your back. How'd it go?" Kisame asked, surprisingly excited to see her.

"God damn! Does everyone have to be here to greet her yeah?! Why does everyone care un?!" Deidara huffed, throwing his arms in the air.

Kisame rolled his eyes at him, "We're not all here."

Deidara's nostrils flared, "Yeah huh un!"

"Shut up! I'm trying to listen to Cherry Blossom damn it! And no, Kisame is right. Itachi, Sasori--" Hidan was cut off by said two Akatsuki's strolling in magically.

Deidara smirked, "Ha ha ha, I settle my case yeah."

Kisame snorted, " You forgot Konan and Pein, ha ha ha, case unsettled."

With that said Deidara stormed off down the hallway, pouting all the way.

Kisame shrugged it off, "Anyways, so as I asked before, how'd it go?"

Suddenly they were all circling Sakura like children listening to their mom telling a scary story.

"Uhm well…we got the donut." She started awkwardly, Kakuzu holding up the paper bag for them to see.

"What happened that caused all the ruckus though?" Zetsu asked, genially curious.

"Oh, well some drunk knocked into me and my hat fall off, revealing my pink hair to the world. Ino, she was a friend of mine, noticed me and took off screaming to the town 'OH MY GOD! SAKURA!' and thus we had Anbu on our tails." Sakura informed them, growling in frustration at her clumsiness in the first place.

"Well how the hell did you guys get away?" Hidan asked.

"Well we made our way to an alleyway to wait it out but two anbu walked down their to check who we were so Kakuzu…" Sakura trailed off, eyes going wide at the realization of what exactly happened in the alleyway with him. She glanced around and her eyes fell on Kakuzu, the damn bastard grinning at the memory. She blushed and quickly cleared her throat, "Ahh, so um…yeah, they left and then another one of my old friends came down and talked to us. For reasons unknown he helped distract the guards at the gate so we could make our escape. Then we met up with Deidara and Zetsu and now here we are. Heh heh." She smiled sheepishly, the blush still obvious on her face.

Hidan glared at her skeptically, "For some damn reason I have a feeling you left out a big chunk. Perhaps the part were you got the anbu to leave? So Sakura, what exactly did the bastard Kakuzu do to get them to leave?"

Sakura choked on her own spit, "Aa ha ha, n-nothing. They left on their own, yeah, yeah that's it. They left on their own!"

Itachi glared at her, apparently not buying her lame cover up. Honestly, who would? "Sakura, we're no idiots." He shifted his glare to Kakuzu, "Kakuzu, what did you do?"

Kakuzu shrugged and looked indifferent, "I kissed her. The anbu mistook us for simple hormonal teenagers and left."

Gags went simultaneously around the room.

Sakura stared at him as if he had two heads, "KISSED ME?! Oh that's a bunch of bullshit! You raped my mouth!"

Tobi cried out and tugged at Sakura's legs, "Noooo! Sakura-chan was raped!"

"You made out with her?!" Hidan squealed, not cussing. Meaning he was pretty pissed. The more pissed he was the less he cussed, strange I know.

Kakuzu still stared at them indifferently, "Simply put, yes."

Hidan twitched at his nonchalance, "You disgust me." He hissed, glaring daggers at him.

'Hidan's wrong! WRONG! It wasn't that bad.' Inner sakura decided to butt in, distracting Sakura.

Sakura couldn't help but to agree with inner, "Yeah, actually it was kinda hot."

All of them looked at her, eyes wide. Except for Kakuzu that is. He got up and moved till he was face to face with her, bending over her to reach her level. He place a finger under her chin and pulled her up to look at him. "You think that was hot? Wait till you can see what I can do when I'm not using it as a distraction."

Sakura just stared at his alluring smirk. She didn't care if his mouth was sewn shut, it still looked hot. Only then did she realize she had said it out loud though. "Eep, I said that out loud didn't I?" She blushed as Kakuzu went to move his face closer to hers.

"HEY! I. Don't. Think. So." Hidan was instantly in between both of them, pushing them each in different directions and away from each other.

Then he desperately turned to Sakura. "How could you think kissing this bastard was hot? Your telling me you enjoyed the make out session you shared with him?" Hidan grabbed her shoulders and shook her lightly.

Sakura grabbed his arms that outstretched to her shoulders to stop the movements, "Hey, I'm a woman, he's a man, what's not to like?"

Hidan rolled his eyes, "Damn, that's not what I meant! You'd kiss him and not me?!"

"Well sorry but that's not what you asked. And I never said I wouldn't kiss you. You're a man too, so why would I have a reason not to?" Sakura huffed crossing her arms.

Hidan just stared at her. She just said she'd kiss him, did she not? "You know, I'm startin to like you more and more." He grinned then without a second thought slammed his mouth down on hers.

Her eyes widened and she squealed onto his mouth as the pressure knocked them both over; Him now sprawled out over top her still pressing his lips to hers.

"What the hell??" Kisame widened his eyes as Hidan started to pry her lips apart with his tongue. They could see it all. Sakura was blushing heavily and her hands were pressed against his chest pushing at him slightly. Her resistance stopped suddenly and she opened her mouth to let him in, sliding her arms around his neck and closing her eyes.

Kisame blushed about as red as a tomato but just couldn't look away. Her being forced down by a man was just so…so hot.

The others were in no better shape, all gaping at the scene before them, neither one wanting to look away. Most hands came to rest over certain areas and they grunted to hold in pleasured sounds. This was like watching a live porno when Hidan's hands started to travel down her sides and pushing up her shirt.

Sakura didn't care about her reputation anymore, she was with the Akatsuki, she'd have all the reputation she needed with them. When hot men pushed you down and ravished your mouth…you really could care less what happened.

"Akhem…AKHEM!" Everyone shot up their blushing faces to stare at Pein with Konan at his side.

Sakura quickly pushed Hidan off her and fixed her hair and clothes, coming to her knees and looking down bashfully.

Pein just stared at them, unaffected. "Well, I could really care less if you all decide to have an orgy but I would appreciate it if you reported to me straight away after a mission." He replied, looking specifically at Zetsu, Kakuzu, and Sakura.

Kakuzu got up and shoved a brown bag towards him. "We got what you requested leader-sama."

Pein looked past that bag at Sakura, who still had her head down. "Well done Sakura. But I do believe you had another test, how well did you and deidara get along?"

Sakura didn't get a chance to answer because Zetsu jumped in, "The bastards in denial. Yes, but they did fight an awful lot…I don't know if you could really say that they got along."

Sakura's jaw dropped, "Not true I slept with him!"

The leaders eyebrows raised and he looked pleased.

Hidan rolled his eyes and huffed, "Deidara too?" He asked her widening his eyes.

Sakura looked at him, knitting her eyebrows, "What?…No! Not like that!" It hit her suddenly, "I didn't sleep with him as in sexually, we just--"

"--Spooned each other." Kakuzu cut her off, stating the fact bluntly.

Leader shrugged his shoulder, "Whatever, good enough for me." With that he grabbed the paper bag and retreated out of the room with Konan.

Sakura glared at Kakuzu, then thought a little, "Wait, does that mean I'm in Akatsuki?"

Sasori shrugged, face still blank as ever, "I'm sure he'll call you down later to tell you whether or not you passed."

Sakura smirked playfully at him, "Oh, it speaks."

Sasori was instantly behind her with his arms around her waist and mouth near her ear, "I do more than just that." He dipped his head down and claimed her neck with his mouth.

Sakura squeaked and froze, "Not you too."

He chuckled and continued his ministrations, moving his tongue expertly over her soft skin. Drawing soft moans from her lips.

She heard a low grunt and suddenly her front side was engulfed by Itachi's figure. He busied himself with the other side of her neck, his hands remaining on her sides, right above Sasori's.

Sakura felt hot, extremely hot. "W-what are you d-doing I-itachi?"

"I'm a man, you're a woman, what do you think?" He breathed out, his hot breath coasting over her damp skin.

On the other side of her neck Sasori hit a tender spot causing her to moan out loudly in appreciation. She heard several low grunts in response around her.

If Kisame was red before, he was certainly red now. His partner and a fellow member were communicating sexually with another fellow member…at the same time.

"Wh-what are you guys--aaaah" She lost her breath when Sasori moved his hand up her shirt unexpectedly. Sakura shut her eyes tightly, what the hell was going on? Well, she knew what was going on…but…why? Not that she didn't like it, she just wanted to know.

She struggled to muster up the strength to push Itachi slightly back and move away from Sasori a little. They both looked at her, panting slightly.

Sakura took a deep breath, regaining her composure. "Okay, not that I didn't enjoy that, but what the hell is going on?" She looked up at them expectantly. When she got no answer she huffed slightly, "First Kakuzu, then Hidan, now you and Sasori." Sakura mainly directed her question towards Itachi, he was in front of her after all.

Itachi stared at her, "Your ours now, isn't it obvious?"

Sakura stared back dumbly, "What? I'm yours? All of yours? Your telling me you guys actually share?"

Hidan laughed in the background, "Surprising huh? Well when we want something as badly as we want you, we all somehow just deal with it."

Sakura crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes, "Don't I get a say so?"

"You said you enjoyed it did you not? You said kissing me was hot, and you didn't resist Hidan. Honestly, what could you possibly not like about getting eight men, all at once?" Kakuzu asked curiously.

Sakura widened her eyes, "Eight? Hidan, Itachi, Sasori, Kisame, Zetsu, Tobi, Deidara, and you?"

Kakuzu just nodded.

"Even Tobi?" Sakura sort of squeaked that question out and looked at Tobi. She repeated his name because she honestly couldn't see Tobi of all people…kissing her.

Tobi nodded excitedly, "Tobi's a good boy Sakura-chan!"

Kakuzu smacked his face, "Okay maybe not Tobi, only seven then."

"It'll be fun." Sasori whispered in her ear and slipped something over her head and around her neck.

"What--" Sakura stopped and fingered the choker he just placed on her. She looked back at him, apparently looking for an explanation.

"Just in case we lose you. People will know where you belong." He chuckled and fingered the 'A' dangling off the necklace. "I thought something like this would happen. So while you were gone I made this." It was a wooden 'A' strapped on by black silk.

Sakura "oh'd" She really didn't mind the idea.

"So, what do you say Sakura-chan?" Itachi purred seductively into her ear.

Sakura shook her head, "I can't believe I'm going to agree to this, I feel like such a slut."

Zetsu walked over grinning happily, "No, not a slut Sakura, just our woman. Just call us…your harem."

Sakura giggled, "I like the sound of that."

Sasori suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist again, but all he did was simply hold her; shoving his face into her hair and breathing deeply.

Sakura blushed when Hidan jumped in as well, taking his spot in front of her, cupping her cheek and smiling cheekily down at her. Sakura rolled her eyes, "This is going to take a while getting used to." He moved to press his lips against hers when his ring vibrated violently, sending vibrations through her cheek, causing her to giggle.

"Ugh, Leader has perfect timing. Damn him." Hidan complained and stomped off.

"Hm, looks like it's time to see if your in or not Sakura." Kisame walked over and rubbed a hand over her head. "Come on pinky." He grabbed her hand and pulled her off, the others following right on their tail.
