Chapter 4:
"Gaara, how did you escape?" questioned Naruto coming to greet him.
"Haruno-san" he replied.
"So is she okay? Do you know where the base is? Can you lead us there?"
"Naruto calm down" Ten-Ten yelled. "Sakura can handle herself till we rescue her, I know it but right now we must find the base." It pained Ten-Ten to say this cause she really didn't know what exactly Sakura is facing right now.
At night Gaara had a lot on his mind and went to his favorite spot on top of the Kazekage building,
'Knock knock,'
Naruto appeared from behind the door and walked to Gaara's side.
"Was she okay?" Naruto asked,
Gaara nodded his head.
"So how did Sakura-chan help you escape?"
"She became an Akatsuki"
Naruto lowered his head, he knew Sakura would do something like this to protect her friends.
"Naruto I will help you in your search" Gaara said suddenly.
"Thanks" Naruto said and left Gaara alone to think.
"Haruno Sakura I will help you, I give you my life" he said to the stars above him.
Meanwhile back at Akatsuki base,
Sakura returned to her room, she missed everyone terribly but could do nothing to return to them. She began to dress into her black Pajamas when she heard a knock at the door.
She put on her Akatsuki cloak and answered the door, she found Itachi outside the door.
"Yes, what is it?" she asked.
"Nothing, I was ordered by Konan to check up on you to see if you're okay."
"Yes, I'm fine Good-night" she said and shut the door, but was stopped.
Itachi didn't know why he stopped her, then looked into her eyes and let her go and left. She shut the door and walked to her bed and blushed a bit, he did remind her of Sasuke a bit and fell asleep.
In the morning she was awoken by Konan,
"Sakura wake up." Konan demanded.
"I'm up, I'm up." Sakura said, walked to the washroom got ready in two minutes.
"Come on, if we don't get there early the guys will eat all the good stuff."
They ran to the kitchen to find all the food was there and only Tobi, Pein (Akatsuki leader), Itachi, and Zetsu, and Sasori.
"Where is everyone else?" Konan asked Pein.
"Haruno, please attend to them after breakfast it seems they caught food poisoning"
"Hai" she said as she sat next to Tobi,
"Sakura-chan is sitting next to me, Tobi is a good boy, Yay"
Sakura giggled a bit.
After breakfast Sakura asked Konan to come with her, to attend to sick members. Konan led Sakura to each room. First was Shark boy.
"What the hell did they eat, that made them this sick" Sakura asked Konan.
"Well last night we had some leftovers and I think those leftovers were expired."
"UH" Sakura said.
"What kind of plants do you have around here."
Konan led Sakura to their plant room, she found some that could make excellent cures and quickly powdered the plants and mixed it with some other plants and tool the liquid and place it in a syringe with a needle. She made enough for the sick Akatsuki in less than fifteen minutes. Konan was very impressed.
They walked back to the others to find them all moaning and crutching their stomach, Konan took out her camera and took pictures. It made Sakura laugh. She cured Kisame, then Deidara, then Kakuzu until they reached the last one Hidan.
"Hey doc," Hidan said flirtatious.
"Please shut up" Sakura said with a smile.
"Also a back talker too, may I call you Sakura-chan"
"Don't ever call me" she said. Konan liked the way Sakura handled herself with Hidan, and stayed because it amused her.
"OWWW" Hidan yelled, "What was that for?"
Konan laughed, Sakura stabbed the needle into his arm.
"What was what for, oh you mean the needle, the medicine is inside it" she said with a smile. She learned her cold technique from Sai, and was kind of happy that she met him.
"Touchy" he said as she left, "She is one feisty bitch and I want to take part."
She ran back and punched him with super strength, "Don't say things that will kill you, kay" she said smiling. Then she joined Konan.
"I think she likes me" he thought.
"So Sakura since you don't have a boyfriend, why not chose someone at Akatsuki,"
"No thanks they are all pervs and Jerks"
"Come on"
"Are you trying to get me hooked up, I'm not going to take part of whatever scheme you have,"
"Fine at least tell me who you think the hottest guy in Akatsuki is for you"
"Nope,"
"Come on tell me, or I'll bring this discussion with everyone else later"
"You wouldn't dare"
"Try me,"
"Fine, um um um" she thought, anyone but Hidan.
"It would have to be anyone but Hidan"
"That's not specific enough"
Down the hall came the healed Akatsuki members.
"So Sakura who do you think the hottest guy is" Konan blurted out on purpose,
"Konan," Sakura yelled.
"Yeah, who is the hottest guy?" Deidara and Kisame asked teasing.
"I am not going to answer your stupid question."
"Come on, answer the question" Hidan said.
"Fine, anyone but Hidan" she said and walked to her room. Konan could tell she imposed.
Everyone laughed except for Hidan. "You just got rejected by Sakura-chan" Tobi said cheerfully.
"$& off" Hidan yelled,
"At least she was clear that she hated Hidan" Deidara teased. Itachi and Sasori smirked.
"Konan" Pein called her over.
"Give Haruno this Mission scroll and this time I would like you to accompany her."
"Hai," then she walked to Sakura's room.
'Knock, Knock'
Konan entered to find Sakura lying on her bed, and hugging her pillow.
"Sakura, I know you're mad at me but we are ordered by Leader on a mission"
Sakura let go of what Konan did, and answered her.
"Where to?"
"Konoha"
Sakura's face was as pale and her eyes were quivering. 'What am I going to do?' she thought and clutched her head.
"I'm sorry Sakura-chan, please be ready to go in an hour I'll explain the mission on our way."
