Chapter 3: The Phantom of the Akatsuki

Sakura's POV

"Urrgggghhhh! The nerve of that guy! I would really love to shave that chicken butt hair so badly!" I am so irritated by the fact that he totally kissed me in my right cheek.

'I really hate human contacts!'

"Hey, Forehead! You must be flattered! The hottest guy in school just kissed you! And it's all over school!" my supposedly best friend Ino told me.

"Ha! I'd rather jump off the cliff and die!" I retorted.

"And you know, it was the first time I saw him running away like that! It was totally hilarious!" said Ino while holding her tummy, laughing so much.

"And yeah! Thanks to him! I got detention on my second day all because of him!"

(A/N: Sakura shouted when Sasuke kissed her and disturbs the class, and it turns to become worst when Sasuke ran. So, Orochimaru gave them both a detention.)

'Oh my, I think I lost my cool.'

I was walking along the hallway together with Ino until I saw someone I know on the corner of my eyes.

"Hinata!" I shouted bluntly.

'Oh crap. Remain stoic…remain stoic…'

"S-sakura-chan! W-welcome b-back…y-you've c-changed." She said while fidgeting her fingers.

"Aa. Thanks."

"Y-your w-welcome."

"You are still stuttering, is that in your genes?" I asked with a questioning look.

"N-no."

"Baka! You do know that Hinata is always shy whenever she is around with people!" Ino said as she smacks the back of my head.

"Hey! Why did you do that, you pig! Is that what friends for?" I said while massaging the back of my head.

"And by the way," I continued. "How's Naruto with you?"

She blushed so madly. Her face is like a tomato.

She always has a big crush on Naruto when we are little. But unfortunately, the boy was so dumb and oblivious to her feelings. What an idiot! And he happens to have a crush on me but I am certainly not interested. I mean, love or whatever that crap is, I don't care at all. I am sure as hell that I don't even want to think about it.

"Uhmmm…i-it's g-good. H-he i-is a r-really g-great f-friend." She said.

"Hinata, for God knows, I know you see him more than just a great friend." I said while slapping my forehead.

"Does he know about your feelings now?" I asked.

"N-no."

"Oh God. You really must confess." Said Ino.

"B-but i-it m-might b-broke o-our f-friendship. A-and I d-don't w-want t-that t-to h-happen!" she said almost yelling.

"I understand." I said as I sighed.

We went to the cafeteria, after all it was lunch break. I saw some of my child hood friends, Shikamaru, Kiba, Tenten, Neji, Lee and Shino. We made our way to their table.

"Oh la-la! Hot mama what happened to you!" Kiba yelled while pointing his index fingers to me.

"Shut up, Kiba. You're overreacting." I said.

"Troublesome."

"After you disappeared like bubbles, you turned into a guy! What did the technology do to you?" said Kiba.

"Aho. Technology has nothing to do with my appearance. And I am definitely not a guy but I would love to." I said with a hint of mockery in my last sentence.

He raised his left eyebrow.

"That does mean you didn't change your genital organ?" he asked it so bluntly.

And that is why I punched him square in the jaw so badly.

"Aho! You stupid moron! Why would I do that? I just happened to like the guys' clothes!" I almost yelled.

"Hehe, my bad."

"Troublesome." Shikamaru said and then he yawned.

"Oi, Shikamaru, still sleepy?" I asked as I turned to face him.

"Yeah."

"Well, you always do." I said to him and he just shrugged.

"Nice going there, Sakura." Said by the brunette haired girl beside Neji.

"Yo, Tenten. It has been a long time." I greet her.

"Yeah, and you're looking great."

"Thanks."

"Hey, hey, hey! Who says she's looking great? You're messing with her head that is already messed Tenten!" said by my loud mouth best friend, Ino.

"Hm, not bad though." Said Neji interrupting the girl's conversation.

"Yeah, I mean really, it's not everyday you can see girls wearing some guys' clothes." Tenten said.

"Uuurrgghh…for all timer's sake…cut the crap." Ino spat, irritated by the conversation.

"Oh my youthful goddess! Even though you're wearing youthful guys' clothes, I will always protect you till I die!"

I sweatdropped. There are some things that will never change.

We had our lunch together in the table and we are joyfully eating are foods until we heard loud squeals.

Sasuke's POV

"Sasukeee-kun! Eat wit me!"

"NO! He will eat with me!"

"Sasukeee, I'll treat you lunch!"

Every time, during lunch when we are entering the cafeteria, this bunch of crazy idiots is roaming around like dogs following their master.

'Oh God. Why don't they mind their own business? This is the 500th time I asked this question!'

I was walking around the cafeteria with Naruto until I spotted our lunch table. I felt the horror and chills run down my spine when I saw the pinkette. And I froze and stopped walking.

'Is she too much to handle?'

I was totally dumbstruck after I irritate the crap out of her. She was totally not interested in me. And because of her, I just did the most hilarious thing that an Uchiha must not do, I ran. It was one of the gossips you can hear all around the school this early morning.

My thoughts were cut off when Naruto called me.

"Hey Teme, don't tell me you're afraid of Sakura-chan?" he said and then he grinned like an idiot.

"Dobe, how can I be afraid of some wimpy girl?" I said but deep inside I'm quite nervous.

'Uchiha's don't get nervous especially to girls.'

After all, I made a bet with her. And by that, I really need to concentrate on how I will make her fall in love with me. But the problem is, my looks does not even interested her and last but not the least, she actually hates me to hell. And how am I supposed to make her fall in love with me?

' what Uchiha's wants, Uchiha's gets.'

"Well teme, the last time I checked, you ran away during Oro-sensei's class! And it was so funny!"

"Shut it, Dobe." We made our way in to our lunch table and the pinkette turned her head and then she glared at me.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto said and then waved at her.

"Shut up, idiot." She said still glaring at me.

If looks could kill, well she already killed me. But unfortunately it's not.

"Why, miss me?" I said to her emotionless, of course.

'I'm an Uchiha, after all.'

"Hn. Your wish, Uchiha. Be glad that I didn't break your nose yet." She said with sound of mockery and then she smirked.

'She looks like imitating me.'

"Hn, how scary." And I smirked.

"Yeah, and if you go to the extent of crossing the boundary between you and me, I'll kill you." She said and then she gave me a death glare.

"Oh really, and why is that?" I asked mocking her.

"I have licensed to kill you're fuckin' ass and send you straight to hell."

I raised my left eyebrow in confusion.

She totally hates me so badly. But I am not loosing to this game we had. I despise loosing.

"Hn." I replied.

I sat beside her.

"Why are you sitting beside me?" she asked.

"Well, I'm just making my move for the bet."

"Heh, really? Well, you're not lucky enough to win the bet though." She smirked.

"Hn. Say that after I win."

"Hn."

We ate our lunch and I noticed on the corner of eyes, she was eating tomatoes. Ah, my favourite.

''Wait…what the hell, she was eating tomatoes?'

She noticed that I am looking at her tomato and she gave me a questioning look.

"What? Tomatoes aren't that bad. They're delicious. Any problem, Uchiha?" she said.

I was about to answer her when a certain loud mouth idiot interrupted me.

"Hey Sakura-chan! That is Teme's favourite food!"

She glanced at me.

"Really? You eat tomatoes?" she asked like she was interested.

"Aa."

"That's great! They are so juicy and I love them so much! Well, want some?"

And that was the time I gave her a questioning look.

"I'm not eating it with you."

"Oh come on, I have 3 tomatoes here in my bag, you can have one." And then she gave me one of her tomatoes after she searched it inside her bag.

"Thanks." I said to her, very grateful for the fact that I was able to have a friend with the same compassion about tomatoes.

'Wait-wha-a friend? Well, it's not that bad though.'

"Welcome."

And she gave me the most sweetest smile.

I took a bite on the tomato, and I admit it, I was totally in bliss until a certain red haired bitch that annoys me a lot interrupted our lunch, mainly her target was Haruno Sakura.

'And this is because of me. I know, really.'

"Hey pink haired bitch." Karin said.

Sakura turned to look at her and then she took a bite to her tomato, as if she was waiting for Karin to get annoyed by her actions.

"Yo! What do you know, if it isn't Karin and her clones." She said as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Hey Bitch, stop acting so high and mighty! You do know why I am here in front of you!"

I saw Sakura gave her a questioning look.

'She was totally oblivious,the same as the Dobe.' I sighed.

"Well, what reason would that be?"

"Get away from my Sasuke-kun." Karin said.

It was so disgusting coming from her mouth. I was never hers, never will. Even if she will be the last thing here on earth, I'd rather break my neck and have an epic death.

I lost trance to my thoughts when the pinkette interrupted me.

"Hey, Uchiha, by any means, are you owned by Karin?" she asked me and then took another bite on her tomato.

"Hn."

"I'll take that as a no." she said.

"Well, Karin, I think he is not interested in you. And by the way, he does not owned by anyone, you can see it in his eyes, he is ready to snap out to all of you who are really one hell of whores trying to catch his attentions. It's a pity you know." She continued.

This was the first time I was defended by a girl. I can see why she can handle herself so good, because she remains calm no matter how bad is the situation, you can tell it by her actions.

"Why you freakin' bitch! What the hell are you talking about! You little slut! You are the one flirting with my Sasuke-kun! And you are eating with him!" Karin said earning the attention of the crowd in the cafeteria.

"Flirting? Wait, I am not the only one eating with him…this is a lunch table, for fuck's sake, we are having a group lunch. Use your head Karin. For what I really see, you are below average." She said.

"Why you-"

"Your brain has a size of a pea."

"That's it I'm-"

"To me, you're like a dog barking to a stranger." Said Sakura and then she gave her a wide grin.

I saw Karin eyes widened, she was totally angry by the time now.

"You fucking new girl! You think you are so great after Sasuke-kun noticed something on you! You're one heck of a spoiled brat who just transferred here! Does even your fucking mother tell you to be a whore? Or your dad was in a relationship with a slut that made you like a one less lonely bitch?" Karin spat and then she did the most regretful thing, she grabbed the tomato from Sakura's hand and she crushed it into the floor with her right feet.

I felt also murdering her, but I was distracted by the evil aura around the cafeteria.

Haruno Sakura…

Has already snapped.

"KARIN, you little whore! You fucking slut! You are so fucking dead! Nobody talks about my family like that you gay ass little prick! That's it! I'll break that face of yours and make your bones crushed into piece of shits! I'll make sure you will be dead as hell and cut off your head with my bare hands!" she shouted on the top of her lungs as she charged to her.

I even barely see the second she attacked her. She kicked her straight to the jaw with her right foot. Her reflexes are very fast as she punched her across the stomach. And I'm sure, that she was totally deep in pain and fear. And then, it was followed by a several punches to her face. Horror filled the cafeteria, Sakura was totally insane.

My group and I is ready to stop her until several of the seniors appeared in the cafeteria.

Everyone froze, even Sakura. She stopped punching Karin and she was now holding her by her collar. Karin was bloody murdered. There are traces of blood all over her face.

"Hey, what's the ruckus all about?" a man with orange hair with 6 pierces asked the crowd.

There was silence.

"What do you fucking know, maybe a fucking cat fight we got here!" said by a gray haired man.

"Shut up. You're ruining my fun." Said Sakura while glaring at them.

Everyone stood shocked including me. She was totally insane, oh come on! You do know who was we are dealing here right now.

It was the Akatsuki.

The most feared gang in Konoha.

A group made by the seniors of this school.

"Who said that, un?" a blonde man yelled.

"Me." Sakura spat.

And the crowd made a clear way between the Akatsuki and Sakura.

This time, the Akatsuki were frozen.

Sakura smirked and put down the unconscious Karin.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest.

She gave them a wide evil grin.

"You should know that by now, ruining my fun is pretty illegal…you know it very well."

The whole cafeteria was now in silence and confusion on what Sakura had said.

"Oh my, if it isn't dear Sakura." I recognized the man said this, it was my brother Itachi.

'Do they know each other?'

"You must be the new girl they are talking about, wearing some guys' clothes, the typical Sakura." Said Sasori while his hands are on his pocket.

"You know, you guys are all pain in the neck. I was having much fun in here."

'This is not the Sakura I know, or maybe she has split personality?'

I looked at her intently; she was like a different person. Her green emerald eyes now full of rage and anger. And by the looks of it, she is definitely wants to murder Karin so badly.

"What a surprise, un? So the ruckus was all about you, un!" said Deidara.

The Akatsuki made their way to Sakura until they were face to face.

The tensions in the cafeteria grew more and more.

"Got a problem, blonde?" Sakura asked glaring daggers at him.

"Woah, easy there." Said a blue haired man named Kisame, Itachi's best friend.

"Hold your fucking horses, kid." Said Hidan and then gave her a grinned.

Almost everyone is so confused that they are having a conversation of course, including me. So out of the blue, I asked them.

"Do you know each other?"

They turned their heads to me.

"Little Brother, you don't know do you?" Itachi asked.

"Hn."

"Well, as far as you all know…" Pein continued.

"…Haruno Sakura…" said Sasori.

"….was Akatsuki's…" Kisame said.

"…co-owner." Itachi finished.

I felt my jaw dropped.

'This girl I'm making a bet with, is affiliated to Akatsuki…By any chance, I need to make her fall in love with me. But, right from the start she was totally dangerous.'

'And it didn't cross my mind.'

'She is definitely not joking…'

'She really has licensed to kill.'

'And I unfortunately...

...is one of her victims.'

A/N: So what do you think guys? After this chapter, there will be more twists and turns! And by the way, have you noticed Sasuke's behavior towards Itachi in this fic? If so, yeah, as you can see, this story is a non massacre. In this story, both Sasuke and Itachi are close (brotherly love). But if you're looking forward for the next chapter, please do review!

Thank you so much! Especially to the people who add this story to their favorite list and story alerts!;))

Sorry for the short chapter, I ran out of ideas.;))
