Chapter 7;
Confessions.
Recap...
Sakura,
Prepare for your training tomorrow, he's not going to go easy.
I suggest take a quick shower and go to sleep early – you'll need the energy.
Tomorrow's going to be a hard day, and whatever you do, try not to over use your chakra – we might need you on missions.
And an advice; don't let Pein out of your sight. If he ever get's out of your sight... I suggest running...
Be careful, alright? Take care...
Konan.
'Oh hell, I can't wait for tomorrow.'
'Shut up, Inner.'
End of recap...
Dream...
"Sa-kura? Sakura! Is that you...?"
I looked around the field full of bright flowers and spotted a certain blonde haired female.
I suppressed a glare at her ex best friend.
"SAKURA!" Ino yelled, sprinting over to me and draping her arms over me. "I missed you..." She sobbed.
"What's going on?" I growled.
"My new jutsu..." Ino said, dismissing my anger. "After the fight yesterday, I did my new jutsu Tsunade-shishou shown me. I can go into other people's dreams."
Shishou? Oh, I remember...
"And Sakura..." Yamanaka continued. "I really am sorry... Please... Just forgive me... I really didn't know Karin was acting! Honest! You got to believe me, Sak!"
Breathing in deeply, I closed my eyes. "I forgive you... Pig." I smirked.
Ino feigned shock. "Forehead! Oh and... Were you and Shika... Going out?"
I was confused for a moment or two, before regaining my composure. "No... Why did you ask?"
"Well, haven't you noticed he wasn't in the battle earlier on?" Ino said. "It's because ever since you left, he hasn't come out... He just locks himself in his room. He doesn't even come outside to cloud watch!"
"Oh..." I didn't really know that I hurt Shika really badly... I felt guilt wash over me again.
"Sakura... The jutsu is wearing off..."
"I figured as much." I sighed.
"Friends 'till the end?"
"Friends 'till the end." I confirmed and then everything disappeared.
End of dream/confrontation.
XxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Urghn..." I grunted, tossing over in my bed.
My heavy eyelids opened slowly, irritated at the blinding sun.
I glanced at the alarm clock at my side and closed my eyes. 9:47.
Drifting back to sleep, my eyes suddenly snapped open. 9:47! SHOOOT!
'What...?' Inner grumbled, still asleep.
'Training. Pein-nii-san. Ring a bell?'
'Eh, now that you mention it, it does... OH POOPS, WE'RE LATE!'
I sighed heavily at my Inner. I felt like smacking her, but that would result in me smacking myself and looking like a spazz.
'EHHM, EXCUSE ME! WE STILL NEED TO GET READY!'
Curse my lack of attention span. I quickly rushed to the bathroom, preparing a quick shower. Thankfully, I was ready.
Wearing a common red shirt and a black short, I dashed out of the room gripping my ninja shoes.
I sped past the kitchen, past the lounge and into the training ground where Pein was waiting... Impatiently.
I gulped. I'm his sister... He wont kill me... Right?
"Eheh..." I started, scratching the back of my head nervously. A habit I picked up from Naruto. "Funny story... You see-"
"You're late." He stated, his Kekkai Genkai piercing through me.
I nodded my head shamefully, staring at the ground. "S-sorry nii-san..."
I inwardly smirked when I saw him frown. "Just don't let it happen again."
'Such a pushover!' Inner laughed maniacally.
"So, what's the training for today?" I asked.
"We will work on you're Shinra Tensei."
"Eh...?" I said, dumbly.
Pein's left eye visibly twitched; I knew if he wasn't so cool and stoic, he would have sweat dropped.
'Urghh, this is going to be a long day...'
[In Suna... No one's POV]
Gaara stood there, paralysed on the spot.
He couldn't believe what he read from the letter... Sakura...?
Konoha's Cherry Blossom... Left?
According to the letter, it says that she left about three weeks ago.
'Why did they only tell me now?' The Kazekage wondered.
The red haired teen knew that Sakura was having some troubles back at Konoha since the Uchiha returned, but he didn't think it was that bad.
Gaara respected the kunoichi, considering she healed Kankouro when no one could.
Breathing in deeply, Gaara spoke. "Temari. Kankouro." The youngest Sabaku grunted to his siblings.
"Gaara? Are you okay? What's wrong?" Temari asked, curiosity and worry clearly shown in her eyes.
Kankouro on the other hand stared at the letter suspiciously, wondering what was going on.
Gaara handed the parchment to his relatives.
A few minutes passed, before Temari sucked in a sharp gasp, whilst Kankouro was rooted to the spot.
The three stayed silent, not even daring to breath out. They were fairly close to the pink haired ninja, all respecting the saviour of Kankouro.
"Why...?" Kankouro frowned.
Temari just had a glassy stare with an emotionless expression.
Gaara opened his mouth to speak, before Temari beaten him to it.
"She told me... She told me... They hated her... Konoha shunned her... B-but I ignored it..." Temari quivered uncharacteristically.
The two men stared at their sister as if she was crazy.
"Hn." The red headed male finally grunted. "There's nothing we can do about it now. What's done is done."
[In Konoha... Still no one's POV]
"Sasuke-kuuuuuuuuun!"
There was no reply to the annoying obsessed read haired fangirl.
"Sasuke-kuuuuuuuuuuun!" She yelled again. "Why won't you talk to me Sasuke-kun?"
Karin clutched onto said man's arm, nuzzling his shoulder.
"Get away from me." Sasuke seethed, shoving Karin away mercilessly.
Karin stared at him in shock, but flushed red. 'He touched me! Sasuke-kun touched me!'
"Hey, teme..." Naruto called. "Tsunade-baa-chan wants us in her office."
Sasuke – quite happy to escape his ex girlfriend's grip – followed the blonde haired Kyuubi container.
Karin, being the useless twat she is, pursued after her precious Sasuke-kun.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Baa-chan? You called?" Naruto shouted, not even knocking on the door.
The Jinchuuriki looked around the room and spotted the Rookie 9, plus Sai and Karin, excluding Sakura.
"Naruto..." Tsunade sighed. "You all have a mission." The Hokage said, composing herself, making sure she wasn't betraying any emotion.
"ALL of us?" Inuzuka butt in.
"All of you." Tsunade confirmed.
Everyone stared at the 'calm' Hokage.
"What are we going to do?" Naruto asked, after an eternity of quietness.
"Retrieval mission. Get Haruno Sakura back. Alive."
"ANOTHER retrieval mission? Jeez, can't you accept the fact that she DOESN'T want to come back? Anyway, that pink haired freak retreated when she saw me, so there won't be a problem." Karin said, smirking smugly.
"THE HELL? YOU WEREN'T EVEN FIGHTING – IF YOU CALL CHEERING ON FIGHTING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT BATTLING IS ANYMORE!" Naruto yelled.
Karin scowled. "Oh yeah? I WAS fighting her, you little brat! I totally pummelled her! She had to get back up – not even they could stop me!" Karin boasted, smiling broadly at the stunned faces.
"Alright Karin. If that's what happened, you are leading this mission. Failure is not an option – unless you want severe punishments." Tsunade said.
[At the Akatsuki training grounds... Sakura's POV]
"Good Sakura, good." Pein commented.
I panted heavily staring at my bloodied hands. "One... More... Try..." I gasped.
"Sakura, you shouldn't over-use it." He said slowly. "You'll loose a lot of chakra and you might end up in a comatose."
I shook my head vigorously, ignoring the searing pain my palms gave me. I could feel a migraine coming on but I dismissed the headache. My eyes were sore, but my Kekkai Genkai is strong enough.
"I'm a medic nin – I can handle it."
Pein looked at me before sighing. "One more try and you're going to rest. Is that clear?"
"Hai."
I raised my palms, pointing directly to the innocent trees... "ALMIGHTY PUSH!" I yelled, focusing chakra to my hand.
The next thing I knew, the strong, bulky trees were all knocked down. A huge crater now replaced them.
My emerald eyes took one last glance at the mess before darkness conceived my eyes...
XxXxXxXxX
I forced my heavy, painful eyes open, before hissing in pain. Shutting my eyes, I wondered what was going on... I could sense a blanket over me, and a pillow... Was I in my room?
'Probably... Anyway, you kicked butt in training!'
'Inner... I was "fighting" trees...'
'Whatever, you totally owned them!'
'Urghh... I'm not in the mood. I can feel a headache... My eyes...'
'Ohh, diddums. Suck it up and be a man.'
'Retard.'
'I meant Kunoichi, heehee...'
Slightly exhausted, I meditated... In a weird position, but yeah.
"She's awake, un!" An unmistakably annoying voice "whispered".
"We can see that, brat." Another retorted.
"Hey hey! No need to start a fight."
"Kisame-no-danna!" The first voice whined.
"Shut up, brat."
"NO YOU."
"You're going to wake her up."
"NO I'M -"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" I screamed, unthinkably. I saw the shocked and scared faces of the trio (Sasori's shocked, Deidara and Kisame are scared.) which made me want to laugh, if my body parts didn't hurt like hell.
I groaned and hid behind my fluffy pillow, ignoring the shuffling around the room.
When there was nothing but peace and serenity, I mentally rejoiced before slipping into unconsciousness again...
XxXxXxXxX
"Mrghnhh..." I stretched, flexing my muscles. They ached a bit, still sore. But at least I can move them!
"Hello Sleeping Beauty, un!" Deidara smirked.
"Whatever..." I replied.
He handed me a tray full of food, which I happily took after a 'thanks'.
Whilst eating, Deidara was watching me, making me feel very self concious.
"What?" I finally asked.
"Did you know how long you were asleep?"
"Uhm... twelve hours?" I suggested, drinking a cup of water.
His eye widened in shock. "No... You were asleep for four days."
I spat my water out – aiming perfectly at Deidara's face. Choking, I spluttered whilst thinking...
'FOUR days? Man, I must have been tired...'
"Whaaa? YOU SPAT ON MY FACE, UN!" The blonde shinobi yelled. "IF YOU WEREN'T LEADER'S SISTER, I WOULD HAVE -"
"Have what, Deidara?"
Said man looked around so quickly, I think I heard his neck click.
"Uh... I would have... Um..." Deidara was at lost for words by now, nervously fidgeting. "I WOULD HAVE HUGGED HER! Yeah, that's it... Hugged her, yeah."
Pein gave him a death glare that would have caused any normal man to start peeing their pants on the spot.
"WHAT IS WITH THE SHOUTINGS? IM GOING TO THROW HELL AT THE NEXT PERSON WHO SHOUTS!" Hidan yelled from his room.
'Tch. Ironic coming from Mr. Shouty.' Inner snarled.
"Sakura, are you alright now?" Pein asked, still glaring at Deidara who was attempting to escape the room.
"I'm alright nii-san. Is it true I was out for four days?"
"Yes. I told you not to over do it." He frowned. "We'll take a little break from training your Kekkai Genkai for now."
"Awwww..." I pouted. "How about normal training?"
"Hn." Was his genius reply.
"YAY!" I said, too excited to remember Hidan's threat.
Thankfully, Hidan must be too busy with his sacrifice or turning deaf to start threatening me again.
"But you will have Itachi, Sasori, Deidara and Kisame helping you train."
'Or watch over me, more like.' Inner grumbled.
"When do I start?"
"When you're fully healed. Now go back to sleep if you want to recover sooner."
I laid back down, pulling the cover over me until I finally fell unconscious.
Weeell, another chappy done!
Hoped you liked that!
Read and review please! Now I have a million homeworks to do... bye bye.
