Forfeit

- Twist And Turn -


Sakura was called downstairs by a messager bird and hestitantly made her way down, slowing her movements as much as she could. She knew what was coming, she understood what would happen. From the day she turned from her village, she was a traitor. No doubt a price was placed upon her death, she was afterall the newest and most trained Akatsuki.

It's been a little more over a year since her departure from her home, her last encounter as an ally with her friends, her last time and chance to find love. She didn't want to harm anyone when the times come, but she knew they would want her dead. She was trained under Pain as his own daughter, taught how to defend herself against visual genjutsu, and block out head-on combat that Kiba specialized in. Today was the last day before the invasion. She had to learn how to best aviod the Sabaku's infamous sand.

Her arrival was greeted by warm faces and smiling looks. Konan waved to her friend as Deidara stuck up his tongue in a teasing mannor. Sakura returned both gestures sitting down at her usual seat.

"Sakura." Itachi nodded as his form of acknowledgement.

"Hey!" Sakura said smiling brightly at her new mentor.

Everyone was training hard, no skills were gifted at birth. Even the all so great Akatsuki does train infact. But today Sakura's heart wasn't absolutly focused on her training. Tomorrow was White Day, a perfectly romantic day for you and your lover. Brushing away her thought she redirected her attention were it was expected and belonged.

Itachi sensed Sakura wasn't completely thinking about her training, her thought was roaming on another issue. Was today a special day? Tomorrow? Her birthday? A hoilday? Special Occasion? White Day! The romance and love on that day was actually sicken to think about, but maybe Sakura liked someone.

Sakura knew Itachi had caught onto her thoughts and she flushed red with embrassment. "I'm sorry, I'm not suppose to think about those thoughts during training." Sakura apoligized quickly.

"It's...fine.." Itachi said unsure about love.

Sakura's curiousity got the best of her. Seeing her mentor's uncertainity certainly made her intrested. Did he ever have a girlfriend? A regular relationship? "Um, did you ever have a girlfriend?" Sakura asked a bit too bluntly.

Itachi's eyes widen a bit before returning to their regular appearance. "No." he said simply trying his best to remain uncaring.

Sakura smirked, she knew better. He had to get a girlfriend and soon, so he too can feel the general ideal of love.


Just when Sakura was about to answer the sirens in the left division corner rang. There were unwelcomed intruders once again.

Crossing her fingers it wasn't Naruto, Sakura could just hope. She didn't think she had the strength to begin the deal with Naruto.

Sure enough her prayers weren't answered quick enough, standing infront of her was Sasuke, Naruto, Gaara, Tsunade, Kakashi, Yamato, Tenten, Neji, Lee, Kiba, and Ino. Glaring upwards, Sakura let out a exhausted sigh. This was sure a bunch of a team. Having the Hokage and Kazekage take off and join them, two special jouinins, one ex-rouge ninja, two former teammates, and five friends.

God damn, why couldn't they just give up. It made killing them all that harder. Grimacing, Sakura took a hestitinting step towards them, showing off her features in the shinning light.

"Hey." Sakura greeted biting on her lips resisting the urge to run right into one of them's embrace. But of course she had to trip. Trip, like the clumbsy girl she was and end up straight in the arms of..
