Oi, Minna! It's Miyaka here to present Chapter six of "The Bloody Cherry Blossom" I know, I should be working on "Snapped" the re-written version, but I had an idea, and I wanted to write it down before I forgot. I am so sorry for not updating "Behind Her Emerald Eyes" and "Blue Birds" I just don't know if that many people really like it, so I'm not sure if I should continue them or not, due to the number of hits I have and reviews, but I don't know, heck, I'm starting to wonder if I should discontinue "Snapped" since it has very little reviews, but yet again, I don't know, so could you guys tell me if you want me to continue those two stories or not? I also changed how I wrote this story, because some people said it was kinda hard to read the long paragraphs, so I made them into little paragraphs, so they wouldn't get lost in the them. This chapter might be really stupid and confusing, so sorry, I'm just really stressed, the taks test is next week at my school! T.T I also corrected a lot of mistakes on my chapters, so I'm not sure if I'm going to post the better version, or keep it the way it already is, so yeahz XP I should probably get this story started now, before I go on an endless rant about cheese or some other random object or something, well, R&R Please, Thank You, ja ne:D
Recap
"Konan, you know I hate it when you do that." He glared, she glared back. "Yep, and you know that I hate you proving me wrong all the time, so we're even." She spat her tongue out, childishly, only to find herself in a kiss with Pein a minute later.
While their kiss, they heard some people at the door, telling eachother to be quiet, they looked at eachother, and got an idea to make sure they leave. "O-oh, Pein!" She moaned. He grunted, they then heard the people running away from the door. They then laughed at their stupidity.
"Well, we had our fun tonight, and we have already ate dinner, so what else is there to do?" He whisipered in her ear, she looked at him, and she blushed.
End Recap
"Sakura-chan, you can't avoid Gaara forever, he's going to be wanting to talk to you." Hinata said, Sakura sighed.
"I know, but I don't want to hurt him, after all he's done for me, that would be so mean." Sakura said.
"Can't you just go on one date, and then say that you just want to be friends, he'll understand, I'm sure of it, he isn't like Sasuke. Sasuke is probably furious that you like someone else, and is probably already thinking of how to get rid of him." Hinata said, Sakura giggled.
"Yeah, but I can't go out with him, that'll be cheating on him, and if he ever found out, he would not be very happy, and I would be really sad if I lost him, he helped me get over a lot of things when I was gone." Sakura said, smiling.
"It's okay, Sakura-chan! You don't have to go out with Gaara if ya don't want to, just like Hinata-chan said, he'll understand, DATTEBAYO!" Sakura laughed.
"Naruto, you never change." Sakura said, still laughing at Naruto. "Sakura-chan! You're so mean!" He whined. "Sakura?" Sakura turned around and saw the one she was trying to avoid. "G-Gaara?" She said, shocked.
"Sakura, I'm glad you're fine, I was so worried about you." He said, as he put her into a hug, Sakura didn't know what to do, should she hug him back? But then he would think she was interested, but if she didn't, she might lose a friend, hell, she'll probably lose a friend either way, but she would lose him and Itachi if she did. "Sakura, are you scared of me?" Gaara asked, with a hurt expression on his face.
Sakura didn't know what to say, she didn't know what to do. "Of course not, Gaara. I missed you too, I'm just thinking, you know." Gaara nodded his head. "Sakura, I was wondering something, would you like to-" Before Gaara could say anything else, Sakura disappeared in a swirl of cherry blossoms.
"Where did she go?" Hinata stayed silent. "Umm, I don't know? Maybe since she talked to Sasuke, she, oh, shoot." Naruto tried to cover for her, Hinata hit her forehead. Gaara's eyes turned angry. "The Uchiha saw her? You let that bastard actually see her, after all he's done to her, are you stupid!?" Gaara asked in an angry voice, Naruto was kinda scared, because Gaara and him were about the same level in strength, so Gaara could kick his ass, since he let Sasuke talk to Sakura.
"Gaara-san, Naruto-kun didn't know Sasuke would tell her anything, but he did, so I'm sorry." Hinata said in a small voice. "He told her, I liked her, didn't he?" Hinata and Naruto nodded their heads. Gaara punched a nearby wall and cursed.
"Damnit! The Uchiha always has to ruin my life." Gaara said, angrily. "Gaara, I don't think you'll like this, but," "What?!" Naruto took a deep breath and told Gaara. "She has a boyfriend." Gaara felt tears trying to fall from his eyes, but he didn't let them fall, he wouldn't cry for her. Gaara couldn't believe it, she had a boyfriend, the only girl to ever show him any love besides his mother and sister.
"Gaara, are you okay?" Naruto asked, Gaara nodded his head. "I'm fine, I don't care, as long as she's happy, I'm happy, I guess." Gaara said, still trying to control his emotions, he didn't want to cry out in public, that was pathetic, and he was not pathetic.
xXx
"Itachi, come out, we're alone." Sakura said, as she was in the forest. She saw Itachi jump off from one of the branches smirking. "You're quite the drama queen, aren't you?" Sakura rolled her eyes.
"Itachi, you know I hate it when you keep accusing me of that, I just have to act emotional, so they won't think anything was up, and I wasn't a drama queen before I joined, so don't you even think of that." Itachi kept smirking.
"What if I don't want to." Sakura glared at him. "Itachi, are you here for the damn report, or just to piss me off?" He gave a low chuckle. "A little of both, cherry blossom." Sakura pouted again, like she always would. "You're mean." She stated still in her childish pout. "I never said I wasn't, cherry blossom." He said, tracing his hand on her face, making her blush.
"You never said you were, either, Itachi-KUN." She said, with a smirk. "I thought I told you not to use those pointless suffixes on my name." "You did? Oops, I guess I forgot, silly me." She said, childishly. "There's another thing you forgot." This got her attention.
"What else did I forget, Itachi?" She asked, he smirked. "I am not afraid to kill you." He said, giving her shivers up her spine. "Itachi! You'd kill me just for that?" She asked hurt. "Yes, yes I would." She pouted again. Itachi picked her chin up, making her eyes widen. "I-Itachi. What are you doing?" She asked as his face grew closer to hers.
"Punishing you." Before she could reply, she felt his lips fall onto hers."Itachi." She moaned out, he smirked against her lips.
Sakura was surprised that he was so compassionate, even though he was an S-Class criminal, and Itachi Uchiha, the assassin of his own clan. Itachi worked his way down Sakura's neck, earning a moan. He smirked, he knew she wouldn't be able to resist him.
"I-Itachi, s-stop. You need the report." He stopped with an annoyed look on his face. "Where's the damn thing?" Sakura handed the report to him, and he stashed it into his cloak.
"Sakura, I should get going, I will go to the hokage tommorrow and I will ask permission to be a part of a village, so there won't be any suspicion for me being here." Sakura nodded her head.
Before he could leave, Sakura stopped him with a warm kiss. "I'll talk to you tommorrow, bye, Itachi." She said, as he fled into the night with a smirk on his face.
xXx
"Sakura!" Sakura turned around to see Sasuke running to her, she was about to run, but he caught her before she had the chance.
"Sasuke, what do you want, I don't want to speak with you right now, you are the most annoying, disgusting, horrible person that I have ever met, you probably ruined Gaara and I's friendship, and now, you want to speak to me?!" She asked angrily.
"Sakura, I'm sorry. I didn't know if you knew or not, I just want to talk to you, can you at least give me five minutes?" Sakura sighed. "Fine." She said, in an annoyed tone of voice.
"Sakura. I'm so sorry, can't you just forgive me, I love you so much, I want to make you happy, I want us to be a family." He said, sadly.
"It's too late for that, Sasuke. If you loved me so freakin' much, then you wouldn't have nearly killed me every single night for the past three years. Sasuke, I can't say I don't love you, because I would be lying, but I'm not in love with you." Sakura said in a harsh tone.
"Sakura, please. I promise, it'll never happen again, I swear, that wasn't me, I love you, please, don't do this." Sakura looked at Sasuke, she knew he was telling the truth, but she had moved on.
"Sasuke, I forgive you, but we can't be together, I found someone else, who loves me, for me." She said and saw Sasuke's change in emotion.
"Sakura! No one can love you as much as I do now!" He hollered at her. She gave a small flinch.
"Sasuke! This is what I mean! You can't controll your anger!" She scolded at him. "I'm sorry, but please, just give me another chance, I love you more than anything."
Sakura looked at him, anger crossed her eyes. "Sakura, what's wrong?" Sasuke asked. Sakura looked at the ground.
"That's what I said to you when you left the village, you didn't care, so why should I care now? It would be perfect revenge, and I won't have to deal with you any longer. Sasuke give me one good reason why I should go back to you, and break someone else's heart?" She asked.
Sasuke didn't know what to say, he loved Sakura with all his heart, but she no longer loved him, she loved another. "I'm waiting, Sasuke." Sakura said, tapping her foot on the ground.
"Because, I can make you happy, I'll do anything to win your trust back, I'll do whatever you want, just please, give me one more chance." Sasuke begged on his knees.
Sakura looked at him. 'He's doing all this for me, maybe he's really sorry, oh well, I can't leave Itachi, he saved me.' Sakura thought to herself.
"Sasuke, get up." She ordered him. "Not until you give me another chance." He stated. Sakura rolled her eyes. "Sasuke. Get up, now. This isn't how an Uchiha acts." He grabbed her wrist with force.
Sakura looked at him in fear. "You don't know how an Uchiha acts." He said glaring at her. Sakura's eyes still in fear was thinking about how to get away. "Sasuke! Stop! You're hurting me!!" She cried.
Sakura soon got out of his tight grip. Sasuke looked at his hands. "Sakura! I didn't mean it!" Sakura looked at him, she was terrified, it brought back the horrible memories from the first time he had been violent with her.
"Uchiha." Sakura turned around to see Gaara and he did not look happy.
"Gaara." Sakura said to herself. Sakura knew that Gaara would try and protect her, and by that, he was going to kill Sasuke. "Sakura, get behind me." Gaara said, Sakura looked at him, hesitantly.
"I didn't want this to happen! I don't know what came over me, it's not my fault!" Sasuke said, knowing that Gaara was going to put him in the most pain that he would ever endure, in all his life.
"Sakura, get behind me, now." Gaara repeated himself. "Gaara, I'll take care of Sasuke. This is my business, so I should take care of it on my own, please, just don't hurt him." Sakura said to him.
"You still love him, don't you?" Sakura was officially confused. "What? Do I still love him? I loved him before?" Itachi watched from near by bushes, cursing Gaara for probably making her relive her most horrible fears.
"Sakura, what's wrong with you?! You don't remember that we loved each other?" Sasuke asked in a hurt tone. Sakura grabbed her head and fell to the ground. "What's wrong with me? Who am I?" She whispered to herself.
Gaara glared at Sasuke. "You idiot! We need to get her to Lady Hokage. I have a feeling Sakura isn't really healthy right now, and you made it even worse, you fucking bastard!" He growled as he picked Sakura off the ground, while she still whispered to herself, and held herself.
"Gaara! What's wrong with Sakura? Damnit! I had to talk to some kid about him joining the village too." Tsunade said, and picked Sakura up from Gaara's arms. Itachi really wanted to rip Gaara's arms apart.
"Sakura, honey? Are you okay? Can you talk to me?" Tsunade asked, Sakura said nothing. Tsunade sighed.
"Gaara, what happend?" Gaara's eyes filled with rage. "The damn Uchiha happend, I should have killed him when I had the damned chance! I should have killed him before he caused her any more pain!" He growled.
"What.Did.He.Do?" She asked, angrily. Tsunade was not happy, Sasuke was on probation, luckily, and then, he does this, what is wrong with him?! "He bruised her wrist." He said, Tsunade looked at Sakura wrists, and saw that one of them were badly bruised, so she knew Gaara was telling the truth and not just making up a reason to kill Sasuke.
"Get him now, I will beat him to a pulp!" She fumed. Gaara nodded. About an hour later, he came into her office with a badly beaten Sasuke over his shoulder. "What did you do to him?" She saw an evil glint in Gaara's eyes.
"He refused to come, so I had to bring him here by force, and by that, I kicked the living shit out of the pathetic bastard. Would you like the details? Or would you like me to just redo my little play?" Tsunade chuckled.
"It's okay, Gaara. I'll have my little fun with him, during our little talk, and Kakashi will be here too, and he will hurt Sasuke this time." Gaara slightly pouted, he wanted to redo his little beating of the young Uchiha.
Flashback
Sasuke was walking back to his house, but once he got back, he saw the one and only Gaara glaring at him. "What do you want now?" Sasuke asked, only to find himself in one of Gaara's sand coffins.
"Come with me, the hokage wants to speak with you." Gaara said, still glaring at him.
"Fine, just let me go, damnit!" Sasuke glared at him. Gaara's sand coffin got tighter. "You are in no place to be giving me orders, Uchiha."
Sasuke glared Gaara his hardest glare, but Gaara did not let that intimidate him, not at all. "I said i'd go willingly, just let go, damnit!" Gaara saw Sasuke trying to get out, but the sand was too powerfull for him.
"No, now shut the hell up or I'll be forced to hurt you." Sasuke didn't know what to do, he knew that Tsunade was going to hurt him for hurting Sakura, yet again. He knew that this time, he was going to get the death sentence.
"Fuck you, Sabaku." Sasuke said, with courage. He knew that Gaara was going to most likely kill him, but he was going to anyways, so he might as well say something that he's always wanted to say.
"What was that, Uchiha?" Gaara asked in an angry tone, scaring Sasuke. "Uh, cheese?" He said, laughing nervously.
Gaara did not look amused. "You really are pathetic, Uchiha." Gaara spat out at him, and his sand began to grip Sasuke's ankles, to make sure he wouldn't be able to run away.
"Gaara, can't we do this where I don't get hurt?" Gaara looked at him, and gave him his sadistic smirk and shook his head.
"I doubt Sakura would want you to get away from your punishment." Gaara said, as his sand got tighter around Sasuke's ankles making Sasuke wince in pain at how tight he was being held.
"This is getting on my nerves, Uchiha. I'm going to make this quick and painless. Actually, I'll make it both quick and painful, like Sakura would want it." Sasuke saw the bloody lust in Gaara's eyes, meaning that he was going to be put through a whole lot of pain, because of Sakura.
As the sand began to cover Sasuke's body, Gaara smirked, his blood lust filled smirk. "Sabaku! You're going to kill me!" Sasuke yelled at him, only to recieve Gaara's signature smirk.
"Like you almost did to Sakura? I should kill you, but then you wouldn't suffer, something that you deserve more than anything." Gaara said, trying to tighten the sand coffin on Sasuke's body, he cried in pain.
End Flashback
Gaara chuckled at the memory.Tsunade looked at him weirdly, but knew he was reliving his beating of Sasuke in his head, so she couldn't help but give off a little chuckle of her own.
"When is he going to wake up?" Tsunade asked, Gaara dropped him on the floor, and he immeadiately woke up. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?!" Sasuke yelled. "Does that answer your question?" Tsunade just smirked.
"Uchiha Sasuke. I heard what you did to Sakura, and to say the least, I am beyond pleased, I could have given you death the moment we found Sakura's suicide letter, but no, I gave you another chance, but this time, I'm through giving chances, Uchiha Sasuke, you are sentenced to death."
Sasuke's eyes widened at her words. "No." The looked to see Sakura try to get up. "Sakura! You shouldn't get up, you need your rest," Sakura cut her off.
"Tsunade-shishou, are you really going to sentence Sasuke to death?" She asked, Tsunade nodded to her. "Yes, he has been given too many chances, he has broken the laws of his probation, so this is his punnishment."
Sakura looked at Sasuke. "Tsunade-shishou, I promise you, do not send him to his death, he has yet to survive the Uchiha clan, and I know that he will be the only one who will, or can." Tsunade sighed, her apprentice had a point.
"Sakura, I know you don't want him to die, but he has done so much harm to Konoha, and to you, but if you wish to give him one last chance, I will grant your wish, but if he so much as breaks one law, he will be on the fastest ways to the gallows, understand?" Sakura ran up and gave her a hug.
"Thank you so much, shishou! I promise, he won't do anything, I will make sure he stays loyal to his probation, and he will not get out of my sight!" Sakura ranted. Tsunade smiled at her apprentice's ditzy personality.
"Yes, Sakura. Now, get out of here, I still need to have a couple words with Uchiha alone." Sakura nodded her head, and happily left. Sasuke looked the female Hokage, and he knew she had an evil thought.
"Uchiha, I swear, if you so much as lay one finger on her, that will be the last thing you ever touch. I will make damn sure that you will never restore your foolish clan, because after I'm done with you, you won't even worry about making children, you will worry about actually living after what I do, I swear to fucking Kami-sama, I will fucking beat you until you are within an inch from death, and I will have Lady Hokage heal you, and I will do it again, and again, until I feel satisfied, do you understand, Uchiha?" Gaara glared at Sasuke.
Sasuke gulped and nodded nervously. "That is all, Uchiha. You are dismissed now, come again." Tsunade said, slamming the door on him. She looked at Gaara. "Get the chain saw ready, I hold him back, and you go in for the kill." Gaara smirked and nodded.
xXx
"Sakura!" Sasuke called after her, she turned around. "Yes, Sasuke?" She asked. "Thanks, you know, for saving me back there, that means a lot to me." She sighed.
"No problem, Sasuke. It's fine, I don't mind, no matter how much I hate you, I don't want you to die." Sasuke looked at her. "You, what?" He asked. She looked him straight in the eyes.
"Even though I hate you, I don't think you should die, yet, at least." She said, starting to walk again. Sasuke just couldn't believe it, she hated him, even after he apologized, what else did she want?! He had already given her his pride, he had nothing else to give.
"Sakura, do you really detest me?" He asked, making Sakura stop in her tracks. "More than you will ever know." She whispered, but he heard her, and he walked up to her.
"Sakura, why can't you forgive me?" "I already have! I forgave you for beating me every night, but not for the thing that meant most to me," She said, with a tear coming down her face.
"You didn't show me any love, none, not until now, you are such a hypocrite, and you're, you're, I just can't even say it, I hate you, Uchiha Sasuke, that will never change. Ever." She said, in a cold tone, and she started to run away, Sasuke didn't follow her this time, she didn't want him to, she hated him, she didn't want anything to do with him.
xXx
"Tobi, un!!!" Deidara yelled at Tobi. Tobi started to run. "Tobi didn't do anything! Tobi is good boy!!!" He yelled, trying to get away from. Tobi ran into Konan, and she didn't look very pleased. "Konan-sempai! Deidara-senpai is trying to hurt Tobi!!" Konan looked at Tobi and started to glare at them both.
"Deidara. Tobi. SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!" Konan yelled at them both. Everything was silent, until Tobi decided to talk. "Okay, Konan-sempai!" Tobi yelled and ran off. Konan glared at Tobi's back, she really wanted to kill him, but no, leader said they needed him, as if.
She saw Deidara trying to walk off without seeing her, but she stopped him. He looked at her, and put on his nervous grin. "Hehe, Konan-chan, un? You're not going to hurt me right, un?" He asked nervously, she gave him her most sadistic smile, and watched him run away to his room and lock the door behind him.
"This is getting on my nerves, I am so going to kill these people one of these days, and Tobi will be first, I will skin him, and I will make him feel the pain of paper cutting through the muscle of his skin, hehe." She plotted to herself, but noticed that Hidan was looking at her, like 'WTF?!'
She gave him a frightening glare and he immeadiately turned around and started to walk away saying how crazy she was, well, before she through a paper bird at him, which cut through his skin, painfully.
He started to run away, while Konan laughed darkly at Hidan's pain. Konan was about to turn back to her room, but was stopped by her husband.
"Pein, what's up?" She asked, since he had a slightly, worried expression. "You need to go to Konoha, you have to go, no one else can. Itachi will stay there, but will have to come back here to give me what he and Sakura have collected data on, is that understood?"
Konan started to get the information into her brain. "Yes, Pein. Do I go now? Or when?" She asked. "You will go tommorrow, if that is all, get your things ready for tommorrow, because you will leave at 5 a.m. good night, Konan." He said, disappearing back into his room.
Konan pouted. 'No kiss? Hmpf!' She thought, still pouting, but was caught off guard with Pein's lips coming onto hers. Pein smirked against her lips when he saw her blush. She would still blush like a young girl no matter how old she was, much like her little sister, Sakura.
After the broke the kiss, Konan smiled at Pein, while he smirked. "Good night." He said, giving her one last kiss. Konan walked back to her room and closed the door.
She looked at the ceilang, and thought of her little sister, and how she would tell her that she was her sister. Knowing how her family is, Sakura would probably go in a rage since she kept it from her for so long.
She turned over to her side, and she decided to get herself some sleep before she went to Konoha, well, disguised of course, she'll see the one who had put her sister through hell.
Konan started to day dream of how she would kill Sasuke in a million ways, one consisted of turning him into paper and cutting him with some giant scissors. She giggled at that thought, so childish, but she couldn't help it, the Haruno clan was always known for their childish personalitly, and good nature.
Konan soon fell asleep, and dreamnt of how Sakura and Itachi would get married and have kids and they'll be happy, and they'll go on a killing spree on their honey moon, and then, do what most couples did.
Well, there's why sixth chapter. I know, it sucked big time, like I already said, I'm just stressed and stuffs, so please forgive me! I promise, the seventh chapter will be better! Well, please review, so I could get sokme encouragement from you guys, well, ja ne:D
