Recap:
"There's been a message that Yakuza leader Tazuna of Kirigakure has been taking advantage of Akatsuki," he replied, eyes flickering in amusement. "Itachi, you know what to do, and Sakura," his head turned, looking at the shorter female "You'll be accompanying him. You leave today," he stated, turning around and leaving the two of them alone. As soon as he left Sakura felt the tension heat up. Itachi was already fed up with her, and this mission wasn't helping one bit. "Go get your stuff; I'll meet you in the back," he finally said, leaving the room also. She stared at his back in astonishment. Her first mission, how was she supposed to handle it? 'And it's with Itachi of all people.'
End Recap

Morning, 6:15 AM
-x-
Sakura opened her eyes, only to come in contact with total darkness. As she observed her surroundings, fear started to build up inside, wondering where she was.
The mattress below her was not at all like the big, soft and comfy bed she was use to sleeping on. The bed also didn't have the pink silk comforters and plushy pillows Gaara and her mother had gotten her. A string of pain passed through her veins when the lights suddenly went on, indicating that she had accidentally turned on the lamp beside her bedside. Her jade eyes squinted immediately, blocking out the sudden rush of light.
However, with the light turned on, she could see the room more clearly. The bed was quite small, and definitely hard. The floor was wooden but it had a nice, large soft rug that filled 3/4 quarters of the room. A dresser was in the corner to her right, and the window covered in matching dark red curtains was to her left. Her head instinctively cocked to her left as she observed the scenery outside. It was pitched black, although that was understandable since it was almost winter.
"I must be in the hideout right now," she murmured to herself. Once her feet touched the cold floor, memories of the events that took place last night came flooding back.
-x-
"Please... don't kill me!" Tazuna begged. The pink-haired girl bit her lip, pale hands shaking lightly as she held the sharp, short knife. It was fatal. Itachi had already taken care of the bodyguards, making the posh room covered in blood, stench and dead bodies. This man, Tazuna, had almost revealed the hidden agenda of Akatsuki. Not only that, he was stealing drug cartels from the base and selling them to make his own profits. And here she was, trapping Tazuna with a knife in her hands with the thought of security barging into the room any moment now. "Sakura," Itachi called out. She had to do it. Splat. Drip. Drip. "U-Ugh," the man fell to his death, shaking uncontrollably as blood spilled out of him like a fountain of slumped to the ground, watching him die a slow, His family. His wife, or so she thought, was smiling as she held a small boy in her arms. Another girl, who looked about 7 years old, had a grin that was as bright as the sun's ray. "Itachi... Is this what you do every time you're on a mission?" she spoke softly, eyes closing as she exhaled deeply. The man nodded, not caring if she could see it or not. He didn't want to deal with this setback from his partner; in fact, he knew all along this was going to be too much for her. Still, this was her first mission, so she would need more experience to get over this so-called trauma of hers. Doing something totally out of character, he raised a hand and set it upon her shoulders, making her gasp and jump as she looked behind her. "Let's go." The sound of loud, strong footsteps reached her ears as her eyes widened once more. Itachi grabbed her arm and opened the window, lifting Sakura into his arms, he leaped down from the building. Wind instantly blew against their faces, the crisp air making her shiver dangerously. Sakura's sight met the ground as she noticed that they were never going to make it safely on the ground from the It never came, because Itachi landed gracefully against the grass. 'How did he—' "Zetsu will take care of the evidence left behind, so you don't have to worry about going to jail," said the Uchiha, loosening his grip against her as she slowly got out of his arms. "I see." "Hurry, it's not safe to linger around." This was the first time Sakura had killed a person
-x-
Rubbing her eyes, Sakura quickly got up and wore her clothes. She needed to leave now. She'll come back sooner or later, but right now she needed to get away from this place. 'What have I gotten myself into?' she wondered, flicking off the lights and closing the wooden door.
Running her hands through her hair and sighing, Sakura proceeded to her left; where the exit lies.
Rapidly, her mind was bombarded with fear and insecurity. How would she keep this up? Her parents and grandparents could never know about this double life of hers. Surely they would soon realize that she keeps running off with no good reason, and Sasuke would probably get suspicious too.
'Sasuke...'
She was going to be married to him and have kids with him—although that last thought made her laugh. It was too soon for her to be a mother, regardless of the fixed lifestyle she would gain in the future. They were still in an open-relationship, so she was free to date whoever she wanted for the time being.
'What if I fall in love with another guy?'
Suddenly a hand gripped her shoulders tightly—and before she could turn around, a fistful of hair jerked her head back, earning a gasp from the female. She was pulled against a body as they lowered their head near the area of her ear.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Judging from the height and voice, it had to be Itachi. He gracefully spun her around—and being her semi-clumsy self, she bumped into his chest, hands feeling the ripened muscles. Her breath hitched for a split second, taking in the marvelous sight of his physique as she slowly gazed up at him. He had no expression whatsoever on his face, a poker face.
"I—Um..."
"Going back to Konoha?"
"...No..."
"Then?"
He was looking at her with those eyes. Those same eyes she saw the first day she laid eyes on him.
"Okay... You're right."
She felt a smirk from him, although it was invisible if you looked at his face. This was a different kind of Itachi, call her crazy, but she felt that his aura...was a little more relaxed this time. Usually Itachi would have this 'stupid girl leave me alone' personality, but ever since their first mission, he was beginning to be a little more understanding and open.
"Must you leave so soon? I bet you don't even know how to get back."
Sakura stared at him. He was right...again. She didn't have a ride and she didn't know where to go to the borders of Amegakure. Sighing softly, she gave him her most defiant look.
"Will you drive me there?"
It never came, for he just lazily stood there. "You should shower first."
"What the... Isn't that a bit random?"
Stare.
Stare.
Chirp.
"Alright, alright, I'll go shower," she groaned out loud.
"In my room."
Her eyes widened. Shower? Itachi? His room? Without waiting for her reaction, Itachi grabbed her arm as she let out a yelp. In a few seconds, they were already in his room.
"I-Itachi-"
He silenced her with a kiss, his hands gripping her jean jacket as she was shoved against the wall. Her mouth opened slightly and Itachi slipped his tongue into her cavern, tracing every inch and outline of her mouth. She moaned from pleasure as her hands went to rest on his shoulders, deepening the kiss.
She wanted this, she was sure of it, and she didn't hesitate when he brought her into the bathroom; locking the door. Surprisingly, he let go of her with intense calmness as his hands gestured her to take off her clothes. Before she could respond, Itachi disappeared into the showers.
Biting her lip in embarassment, she decided to strip her clothes off, taking her time as she walked towards the shower. Her hands touched the opaque shower curtains and slid it open—only to see Itachi leaning against the shower walls. She adverted her eyes and didn't dare to look at that area, because she wanted to spare his prize for another time; hopefully.
She got in and closed the curtains, letting the shower head fall upon her as the water soaked her skin. She gasped at the immediate feel of a soft, moist bath scrub rubbing against her body. Lifting her head up, she saw that Itachi was soaked with water, his form towering over her as his hands moved slowly, scrubbing her skin with the soap that was imbedded into the material. The scrub moved downwards to the valley of her breasts, and she could've sworn she saw Itachi smirk.
She was about to say something when a gasp escaped out of her mouth, eyes widening when she felt his hands caressing her mound. "I-Itachi..." His lips came in contact with the crook of her neck, softly sucking the wet flesh. She closed her eyes in bliss as she allowed him to control her body, enjoying the almost intimate gift he was giving to her.
It had been quite a while since she was been touched by a man; and Pein didn't count. The thought of Itachi changing his attitude so suddenly confused her, and that's when she realized that he was truly unpredictable.
Itachi proceeded to pull her closer, pressing their naked bodies against each other. He let out a lustful grunt at the feel of her round, soft breasts against his chest. She gasped into his mouth as he plunged his tongue inside, wrapping it around hers as he coaxed her to participate.
"Itachi..." she moaned out, still trapped in his arms as they continued their frenzy kissing session. She never knew that he could bring out so much desire in her, making her want more of his touches. Her eyes were half-lidded as she stared up into his crimson orbs, watching the way they stared at her deeply.
He lowered his head towards her breasts and encircled his tongue onto her nipple, sucking it softly while massaging the other twin. She mewled in pleasure and arched her back, hands gripping the back of his head.
He smirked and pushed her against the shower walls, making her throw her back as he roughly turned her around so that her back was facing his chest. He pulled her waist towards his groin, positioning the tip of his cock into her wet pussy. He thrust himself in one swift move, making her grip the shower walls as her lips parted.
Itachi groaned at the feel of her hot, liquid body as she squeezed his shaft with extreme tightness. He started to set his pace, hard and deep as he thrust into her young body.
"I-Itachi," she whimpered, head falling back onto his shoulders as she arched her back, pushing her breasts out. His hands instinctively travelled upwards to cup a mound, squeezing and massaging it as the pleasure he was giving her intensified. She turned her head slightly, and he kissed her hard, firming their lips together.
Sakura moaned softly and felt his tongue swipe over her lips before entering her mouth, playing with her tongue. She started to match his thrusts: each time he pulled out, she pushed her rear towards him as he slammed into her body, groans escaping out of their lip-locked mouths. His hands left her breasts as he gripped her waist, breaking the pace as he started to slam into her with force.
She couldn't help but mewl in pleasure, falling forward as she braced her hands against the shower walls. He smirked and grabbed a fistful of hair and pulled her head back roughly, showing that he was now the dominant one.
"Harder, Itachi!" she whimpered.
He grunted as he felt her walls tightening around his member, constricting them deliciously that made him close to his release. The water soaked their bodies, hair damped as they continued their intercourse.
A painful scream tore from her lips and she closed her eyes tightly. Itachi groaned once again at the feel of her tight walls against his member as he released his seed into her womb.
"Shh…" he whispered in her ear. A sigh left her lips as she relaxed from the heated sex. He pulled out of her body, making a wet sound that blended in with the water that was still running from the shower head.
"Your actions are making me curious, Itachi," she smoothed out, "What made you want to do something like this?" She curved her lips, a finger reaching out to trace his lean chest. He said nothing as he continued to stare at her, and being her typical self, she looked away, not wanting to play the staring contest.
"Are you clean now?"
A gasp escaped her lips, eyes now locked with his as she couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth.
"What do you mean are you clean now?" she replied, mocking his tone.
"You have to go back to Konoha. Go get ready; I'll have your ride ready."
He left before she could say anything else, which made her huff in annoyance. Itachi always found a way to snake around the conversation, a trait that made her questioned his humanity.
-x-
Sakura sighed heavily when the black limousine pulled up into the front gates of her mansion. Itachi, the Adonis-like male, had lied to her. She wanted him to drive her home, not Kakuzu, w,m,ho was pissed out of his mind for waking up at 6 in the morning. Oh yes, Kakuzu. She had only met him recently, and throughout the car ride, he never spoke a single word to her.
But hey, a ride was a ride.
The crack of his neck snapped her out of her reverie. He glared at her with those dead, scary eyes, and that was enough to make her squeak out a "thanks" and leave immediately. Shutting the door, she waited until Kakuzu drove out of her sight so she could walk into the gates.
It was a school day, so as soon as she got home, she needed to get ready for school.
'School...'
To be honest, Sakura thought that she didn't even need to attend school. By the time she's an adult, she would already inherit the massive amount of money her parents would give her. She didn't need a good paying job to make sure that she stayed out of the streets. So why was she attending school?
Even so, after what seemed like a good five minutes, Sakura arrived at her house. She wasn't wearing those revealing clothes Konan had picked out for her, due to the fact that her parents would freak out. Deidara had been kind enough to lend her a pair of sweatpants and t-shirts. Opening the large door with the spare key, Sakura slowly peeked inside, looking for any signs of her parents.
"Where are the butlers, maids and everyone else? Is it not time to work yet?"
Stepping inside the heated, cozy foyer, Sakura took off her shoes and headed towards the living room.
"Sakura? Where have you been?"
Sakura jumped and looked to her right, coming face to face with her grandmother. The older female didn't look to happy, but at the same time, she didn't have a hint of anger in her facial expressions. It was more of a 'Zen expression.' Snapping out of those thoughts, Sakura's focus went back to the situation. There was no way she would tell her grandmother about her sudden acceptance into Akatsuki, whether the method of 'joining' was stupid or not. She needed to lie, but that would be easy...
'Right?'
"Oh! I'm very sorry I didn't tell you or anyone else about my whereabouts. You see, Ino ordered a package that was exclusively out of town. She's grounded from going out of Konoha, so I volunteered to pick it up for her."
"And—"
"After I got it, there was a snowstorm in the city where I was, so I stayed in hotels. The city was extremely small, so there weren't any phones or communication devices, nothing. I didn't have my cell phone so that's why I couldn't call you," Sakura explained, intentionally cutting off her grandmother.
Her grandmother raised a brow at the eccentric piece of story. For a moment, Sakura had thought that her grandma wouldn't believe her; after all, that kind of scenario was uncommon. Bracing herself, Sakura prepared herself for a long fit of bitching.
"All right, just as long as you're safe."
Pale pink lips parted slightly as her green eyes widened in surprise. She stared at her grandmother, whose lips were curved into a small smile.
Sakura thought that she was very fortunate to have her grandparents living with her. The good thing about having them was that they easily dismissed things like curfew times. When she grew into a teenager, she was never the 'good girl' type that was expected by her parents. She had made a lot of wrong choices and did plenty of misdeeds, but her grandparents were always there to cover for her.
Theywere too unsuspicious of her every ulterior move.
She smiled devilishly in triumph, "I'm glad that I'm safe, too. Where're mom and dad?"
"They went on a business trip for a week. They were quite worried about you, so I suggest that you should phone them after you get back from school. Anyways, you have to attend school now, so hurry up and get ready."
Nodding and not wasting any time, Sakura kissed her grandma on the cheeks as she rushed out of the living room. Ascending up the well cleaned staircase, she managed to get inside her room in less than 2 seconds—only to find a big, fancy package on top of her bed. Her head cocked to the side, wondering who it was from. Rushing towards it, Sakura read the gift tag.
'To the lovely Sakura, From Sasuke. P.S. I did not write 'lovely,' Mikoto did.
Biting her lip in anticipation, Sakura grabbed the presents and ravaged it like a six-year old getting a game console for Christmas. Throwing the lid onto the floor and shoving the wrappings away, Sakura was shocked to see the contents inside the box.
"A loaf of bread? What the fuck is this?"
Sakura sighed in frustration. She wasn't shallow, far from it, but what the hell was a loaf of bread doing inside a fancy box? She groaned, and decided to take the bread out of the box, only to see a card underneath it. Curiously, she picked it up and opened it, reading the contents:
You were expecting jewelry or something, right?
Just thought this might be a good joke on you, since you didn't contact me at all during your absence.
Really, where the hell are you?
- Sasuke
Oh, so he was annoyed that she didn't speak to him in the past few days. She giggled at Sasuke's sense of humor. Perhaps she'd see him in school; she could find a way to make it up to him.
-x-
She arrived at Konoha High a little too early, with the intention of catching up on all the work she'd missed. Stepping out of the limousine, Sakura made her way into the front doors—and as usual, due to her gorgeous looks, she received stares from both females and males.
Not paying attention to them, she made her way to her locker and unlocked it. She proceeded to search for the books she needed during the morning half of her schedule; but a familiar voice prevented her from working any further.
"SAKURA, YOU CAME!"
Swiftly snapping her head towards the voice, she found that the voice belonged to loud mouthed Ino, who had managed to grow a bit taller than when she had last seen her. Smiling and going over to hug her, Sakura noticed that Sai was beside Ino all along. He had a blank look on his face, an expression that greatly annoyed Sakura. He continued to stare at her, and being her usual self, she rolled her eyes and rushed back to her locker.
Ino raised a brow and looked at the male beside her, who faked a smile and shrugged in response. Ino dismissed the interaction between her two friends as she walked up to Sakura.
"So where have you been, hm? Doing naughty things with a certain red-head?" Ino leaned against a locker, a hint of playfulness in her tone.
Narrowing her eyes at the blonde, she proceeded to respond, "Actually, I've been busy doing things in a city where not even you had visited."
Predictably, Ino's blue eyes widened in curiosity, eyes holding a sparkling glint. "WHERE, WHERE!??!" she asked eagerly.
Sai watched the two females interact; but what really made him interested, was the thing that Sakura had. He looked at the pink-haired female, and to be honest, he had always thought she was a little secretive, as if she was hiding a dark secret. His eyes accidentally landed below her waist, and because of her short skirt, he could see a marking on her inner thigh.
'Wait a sec, that looks familiar,' he thought. He focused on the marking with a little more keenness, and was blatantly—shocked to see—a girl like her, inhibiting a tattoo that was linked to:
'The most feared criminal organization in Japan? What the hell is she doing associating with them!?' he thought in bewilderment
The Akatsuki was terribly dangerous. ROOT had been clear about that when educating him about potential enemies. He needed to find information about her activities with them. Forget about personal space, he was going to get answers.
"Ino," he said smoothly.
Instantly the blonde turned to look at him, eyes changing into a seductive glance. Giving a fake smile, he purposely brushed his hands against her shoulders, leaning in towards her ear. "Can you go ask Mr. Yamato for my English assignment? I was absent when he gave it back."
Nodding her head, Ino gave a quick peck on Sakura's cheek and ran off. Sai turned towards the shorter female, who now had a disbelief look on her face.
"May I ask you something?"
He watched her jump suddenly, but then nodded, still wary of him.
"I know what you've been doing."
It felt like time has stopped for just that moment, and Sakura felt her heartbeat pause. Her eyes widened in surprise, never ceasing to move an inch. The dark-haired male only stared at her, knowing that he had hit a nerve.
"So tell me about it, I'd love to know."
Shocked, jaded green eyes snapped into dark angry ones.
"Know what? What have I been doing?"
A smirk adorned his face as he closed his eyes, only to open them back up with his usual stare. "Meeting... the Akatsuki, are we?"
Sakura huffed and turned away, not wanting to speak with the male further. He had caught her, no doubt about it, but that didn't mean she would give in and make him think he's right.
"I've never heard of them."
"Then what's that tattoo on your thigh?" Sai pointed to the marking, making the female looked down to see that, yes, indeed, there was a marking. Lifting her head back up, she gave Sai her most defiant look.
"My friend Gaara did that for me. I had no clue what it was, but it looked cool," she lied. Sai still gave her a blank stare, not believing her words.
She sighed again, "Fine. Why don't you call him? If you don't believe me, call him!" she said, handing him her phone.
"I don't need to. I know your part of that gang, and I don't know how you got in, but I can only predict that you won't last very long in that organization," he replied, walking towards her side as he towered over her. "You'd better quit, before things get out of hand."
And with that, Sai left her alone. Sakura took a few minutes to regain herself, but then the bell rang.
"Why is everyone telling me I can't handle this? I'm not a little girl!" she muttered to herself. Massaging her temples, she got her supplies, closed her locker, and proceeded to head to her period one class.
-x-
School went by pretty fast, and Sakura was in a better mood than she was in the morning.
"So anyways, Sai and I have been kind of checking with each other, but I don't know if he wants to take things further. You know guys," said Ino as Sakura nodded in reply.
"Are you getting a drive home?"
Sakura looked up at the blonde and thought about it for a while, but out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a familiar hairstyle that reminded her so much of—
"Sasuke."
"Sasuke? The Uchiha? Are you dating him?"
Sakura was taken aback by her comment, still not ready of the idea of her and Sasuke being a couple. Was it okay? To make their relationship public? They've been keeping their relationship a secret from most people, and she knew that many girls desired him. But still, how would this work?
'What about the other Uchiha?'
Oh, right. Itachi.
'I don't even want to talk about him,' she replied. Straightening herself up, Sakura smiled at Ino. "Oh it's nothing. My mother and his mother met each other not too long ago, so we're acquaintances. Um, that reminds me; I was supposed to tell him something that my mother wanted him to know. You go home first, I'll call you when I get to mine—Bye!" she said a little too fast as she ran away from the blonde. Sakura didn't want Ino to know so much information. It was not needed.
Even if the blonde was her closest friend, there were still some secrets that needed to be kept hidden: Like the fact that she was a member of Akatsuki.
Focusing on the person in front of her, she couldn't help but curved her lips as she saw Sasuke in his handsome glory, leaning against his car. She slowed down her pace and walked up to him, her eyes never breaking contact with his. He lifted an index finger and motioned her to come in front of him. She responded, and as soon as she arrived, Sasuke unexpectedly pulled her arms making her lunge forward as he kissed her.
She was too shock to do anything. Sasuke proceeded to bit her lip, making her gasp as he shoved his tongue inside her mouth. They kissed for a few minutes, before finally letting go of each other.
"Hey."
She took a moment to catch her breath.
"Hai, I saw the presents, they were really thoughtful, er, I'm sorry I didn't contact you for the past few days... I was a bit busy with stuff."
Sasuke nodded, not bothering to question her further.
"So, any plans for today?"
"Yeah, but it's a surprise. We'll go to your house to get your things."
"My things—"
"STOP! I'M SORRY—AUGHH!"
Immediately they snapped their heads towards the noise as they ran out of the parking lot. In front of them, they saw that a teenage male getting beat up by a local gang, in which Sakura's heart instantly shattered. She hated it when people got beat up, so instinctively, Sakura rushed over to help the guy. She was confident that she could take on those thugs; after all, she was trained by the Akatsuki.
"SAKURA, WAIT!" she heard Sasuke call after her.
Sakura was near the gang as she bent down and swung her leg out, tripping the guy in front of her. The other members were surprised to see their friend suddenly collapsing. They noticed Sakura's presence, and proceeded to attack her. Doing a back flip and landing safely, Sakura dodged as a punch was thrown at her, giving her enough time to kick up into the guy's groin area. He let out a grunt and fell down, only to see another thug lunging at her with a knife.
Sasuke's eyes widened and reactively he attacked the knife-wielder, grabbing his arm as he unarmed the weapon from the guy's hands. Sasuke used his other hand to punch his face, making him fall to the ground.
Sakura blew a kiss to Sasuke as she threw herself onto the last person, making them land on top the concrete floor. She grabbed his hands and pulled them over his head, giving him a deadly glare.
"Take you and your gang out of this school yard and don't ever attack anyone again. If you do, I'll be after you; this time, with back up. You got that?"
Grudgingly nodding, Sakura let go of his hands and got up. She watched him get his gang on their feet as they gave a death glare and headed out of their sights.
"Where the fuck did you learn to fight like that?" Sasuke asked.
"That style... It's familiar," came a new voice.
Looking at each other, they turned their heads to see another student covered up in a heavy jacket with shades on walking towards them.
"Shino?" Sasuke responded, recognizing the jacket.
"Yeah. What's your name?" he replied, pointing to the only female.
Sakura looked at the guy on the ground that she and Sasuke saved. She could tell he was grateful for their help, and silently, he left the three of them alone. Sighing, Sakura glanced at the guy name Shino, unused to his presence.
"Sakura."
"What do you mean that style?" Sasuke interrupted. Shino adjusted his black shades, standing at his full height.
"That fighting style... It reminds me of Akatsuki."
Shit.
She turned her head to look at Sasuke, whose eyes were now widened as soon as he heard that name.
"Akatsuki? Sakura, are you socializing with them?"
"No I'm not Sasuke! I haven't even met them!"
"But that style is an exact replica of their fighting. You must have seen them in a brawl in order to fully utilize their moves."
Sakura huffed. That Shino guy was really starting to expose her new secret.
"Look, it's just a coincidence okay? I haven't even heard of them until right now."
Sighing, Sasuke put a hand on Sakura's shoulder, making her look up at him. "Shino, just drop it. We have to go somewhere."
Nudging her, Sasuke pushed Sakura forward, making her walk towards his car. Biting her lip, she looked back at Shino. Despite her escape, she knew that Shino was on her trail. He was more intelligent than he looked, and she would have to keep an eye on him.

A/N: I am super sorry for the late update. You don't know how much I'm disappointed in myself for procrastinating this long.
But props goes out to my beta reader, BlackElement7. =)
And despite my horrible efforts, I would appreciate it if you could please review~
