Medicine
By the time Sakura had been dragged to the medic room her whole body had gone into fatality mode. The pain was excruciating, erupting from her hand in waves knocking through her body in a wild pace.
"My head hurts" she mumbled and she felt a long cushion like surface crush against her back. She calculated she must have been placed on the medical table. She heard the scraping of medical equipment, the clank and scrape of stainless steel hitting against each other, hastily being gathered together and thrown onto a tray. Sakura knew what was needed from a medical perspective, she would need the wound to be cleaned and have antiseptic put on the wound to prevent infection, a few stitches on both sides of her hand, a cotton swab placed on top of both stitched sides and wrapped up with a bandage. However, this was a criminal group of maniac's and cold blooded murders, so perhaps a medical recovery would be the last thing for her to receive.
"Like, really, really hurts" she mumbled again
"It shouldn't be you head that hurts"
She sleepily opened her eyes as they were met by a pale blue pair coated in black eyeliner and mascara. The eyes sat on a pale face and topped with dark blue hair pulled up into a hasty top knot completed with a paper flower tucked into the hair elastic. Her black long sleeved shirt hung down a little at the front giving anyone a clear view done her chest and was wearing a pair of short dark denim shorts. Her pale skin was perfect, like it never experienced a single pimple or a single imperfection in her life. She reached forward and placed a cotton swab on the pinkette's blooded hand.
"Who are you" asked Sakura her words slurring together as she poked the persons forehead watching them frown. Sakura felt a giggle build up in her throat as the person placed her hand next to her.
"Hey, hey, who are you" she asked repeatedly as the eyes disappeared and re-appeared with a bowl of salted water and a bandage. The pale mouth pulled into another frown making the eyes squint a little.
"What's your name?" asked the blue head and she dabbed Sakura's hand lightly making her let out little squeaks of pain with ever touch.
"Damn fucking salt water" she hissed in discomfort as the eyes raised a quizzical brow at her.
"Sakura. Haruno Sakura" she muttered softly making the head nod.
"Ok then Sakura, can you sit up for me?"
Sakura nodded ignoring the pain in her skull that was pushing against its walls and propped herself up on her good elbow.
"My head really does hurt though" she mumbled.
"Very good Sakura" she grinned ignoring the cherry blossoms complaints and turned to get a roll of bandage from the draw and a surgical needle and thread.
"What's your name?" asked Sakura again watching as the woman prepare for the minor surgery.
"Konan" she answered simply "You ready?" she asked making the konuchi gulp and nod. She lightly took her hand and threaded the needle pressing it into her hand closing the gap. Sakura bit her lip hard, making tiny blood droplets fall onto her tongue.
"Ouch"
"Well you're the one who pulled this crazy shit" mumbled Konan as she sewed the rest of my hand closed. "So stop complaining"
Sakura pouted childishly and made her eyes like large green emeralds and Konan laughed, because she looked like a puppy. Which happened to be her nickname among the mob of evil.
"Ah, you're such a puppy" she sighed as she finished the stitches.
"Yeah, I hate that" said the pinkette as she pushed herself all the way up to a sitting position and swang her legs over the edge of the bed. She cradled her hand in her lap as the woman turned back around and took her hand lightly and started to bandage it pulling it tightly to knot at the end.
"I know you do Sakura, which is why they do it to you" she said and folded the remaining bandage into a little flower grinning happily to herself as she stood back to admire her handy work.
"Uh, well thanks Konan, for helping me and stuff, wow, it sounds so weird thanking an Akatsuki member" she mumbled as the blue head laughed and handed her a bottle of medication and a glass of water.
"But, uh thanks"
"Here, take two of these ever six hours, they will stop the pain" she explained as Sakura tore the cap off and gulped down the medication.
"Hey, hey, easy does it" she laughed as she grabbed the bottle from the pinkette and placed it on the bench.
"You'll get addicted to them if you're not careful"
Sakura poked out her tongue and swallowed the last of the pills.
"They taste like strawberries" she mumbled leaning against the bench and inhaled deeply.
The front door had swang open and heavy footsteps echoed down the narrow staircase. The dark surroundings closed around the figure as they swept into the kitchen. Konan looked up from the little red teapot in her hands as the figure kicked open the door making the pinkette scramble for the red teacup that had topple over from the shock and was rolling towards the edge of the bench.
"Shit, that was close" she muttered as she placed the tiny tea cup on the bench top again only to have the figure slam a bundle of papers onto the surface making the tea cups fall over.
"Jeeze couldn't be a little more careful could you? These" hissed Konan pointing to the small cups that Sakura had managed to save again, a face of pure terror on her face as she held them tightly terrified to place them down again.
"Are worth more then your life, Break them and I'll make sure that you never get put back together again" she snapped the face of death on her pretty features. Sakura shuddered a little. How could someone even be able to pull access that sort of emotion?
"Well here you are, your fucking majesty" hissed the figure as it threw back its hood revealing silvery locks of hair.
"Thanks Hidan" sung Konan in a sickly sweet voice as the man stormed off, the air of death clinging to him. This made Sakura wince a little as the death like chakra pretty much slapped her across the face.
"You don't like each other?" asked Sakura lightly as she placed the tea cups back down again gently making sure they wouldn't explode spontaneously in her hands.
"Huh? Oh, no not really. I don't really care for Hidan, as far as im concerned he's an annoying asshole with a serious vocal incapability to have normal speech"
Sakura raised a pink slender eyebrow at the blue haired woman who poured the tea into the tiny teacups.
"He fucking swears too much"
The konuchi let out a silent 'o' and bought the teacup to her lips, sipping while Konan dug around in the bottom cupboards.
Then the clinking in her mind started to work.
"Wait, what?" she spluttered as Konan stood up with a packet of biscuits.
"What what?" asked the older girl.
'What did you say?"
"What? That he fucking swears to much?" asked the pale eyed girl as she bit into the biscuit making Sakura pull a strange face, like she was half trying to think, half trying to believe that the dangerous Akatsuki ate double choc-chip cookies.
"Your words kind of contradict each other" explained the cherry blossom as she dipped her hand into the biscuit packet.
Silence
"Shit your right. Wow, I think my brain just exploded" she laughed and sipped the tea.
"Im not really good with words, never really went to school I guess" she muttered her eyes drowned in the milk tea.
Sakura looked over the rim of her teacup at the girl. If she never really went to school, then how did she learn how to be a ninja?
Konan as if sensing Sakura's confusing looked up from her tea and grinned sheepishly.
"Long story, I'll tell you some day"
Sakura gave a small smile and placed her teacup on the bench.
"Yeah, I'll be here for a while" she murmured her mind on the dismal future.
"Yeah, you will be" grinned Konan leaning over the bench and patting Sakura lightly on the shoulder.
"But don't worry Sakura, I like you. Hell, I LOVE you, not in that sense though. It's nice having another girl around. Sure there are other females working for us, but they aren't here are they. No, you're here because you're an important part of our team" she grinned at the blank blossom.
"Sakura" she muttered sternly making the pinkette blink in her direction. "As long as im here you will be treated right. I will make sure none of those horny men touch you, kay?" she muttered and Sakura nodded and gave a small smile. "Thanks Konan"
The blue head waved a hand of dismissal.
"Hey, no problem, your safe with me" she grinned reaching for the papers Hidan had smashed into the bench, making it look a little off balance.
"On another note Sakura, we have a little job for you" she smiled and handed the papers to the bewildered girl who gingerly took them glancing over the content.
"All heal?" she asked awkwardly turning her head slightly on the side.
"Yeah, you know, heals all?" explained Konan making the pinkette nod.
"Why do you need me to learn it though?" she asked placing the paper on the bench.
"Because you're a medic, you have the capability for it Sakura" sung Konan slinking over to Sakura and slinging an arm around her shoulder.
"You'll be fine Sakura, we, I mean I, have faith in you, and I never have faith in anything, you'll be right" she grinned and hugged Sakura making the girl a little stunned.
"Uh, ok, thanks" she muttered as the blue head pulled back and ruffled her hair.
"Can't be that harder then what you already do could it?"
Sakura shrugged and opened the paper again, scanning her eyes over the instructions biting her lip.
"I would need to up my chakra reservoir to increase the output but I think I could do it" she answered with a nod, turning to Konan who smiled.
"Great, now I gotta go and start packing, im going on a mission tonight" she muttered and walked across the room to the door that lead to a corridor of doors.
"Don't worry, you'll be looked after" when Sakura followed a confused look on her face.
"Here, take this with you, its easy to do" she murmured and pushed a paper into her hand.
"What is it?" asked the pinkette reading the paper carefully, her face paling.
"Is this really necessary?" she hissed as Konan laughed lightly.
"Don't worry, anti-rape jutsu is easy to cast, just do it before you know, they actually rape you" she muttered patting Sakura on her fluffy pink hair.
"And I'll know, because im the only person who can take it off" she grinned evilly and slunk out the door.
"We'll aren't you pleased with yourself?"
Konan laughed and turned around, hands on her hips.
"Hmm? Well yes I am" she grinned as a figure approached her.
"Why? Do you want her, Itachi?" she asked as the male cast his eyes to the side.
"well go ahead if you want, she's all yours, that is, if your intentions are in the right place" she explained.
"I gave her an anti-rape jutsu, so I'll know if anyone tries anything on her, and they will have to come to me, to remove the jutsu" she grinned evilly as she circled him like a shark.
"What makes you think im interested?" he asked, his voice deadpanned. The blue head shrugged.
"I honestly don't really have an idea why, but I have a bit of a hunch" she answered.
"Wanna hear it?"
He gave her his trademark blank face and she laughed.
"You know Sakura held some sort of importance to your brother right? Despite what he puts out about her, perhaps deep down he has an attachment to her. Now, I can tell that you know that as well, you're a smart guy, so it would only be logical to take her away from him, to tease him that you have the person he may have some kind of attachment to. Right?" she asked as she stopped circling him, her eyes aligned with his.
His response didn't surprise her.
"Well, we both know im right, keep an eye on her while im away alright?" she called as she walked down the hallway.
Yeeeeeeeeey, another chapter done :D. Im happy about how this chapter turned out, I know Konan is probably out of character, but she's so….. bleh, sort of like Sakura, you know, she's bland, which is a shame, she's a fantastic character. So I sort of spiced her up to make Sakura less depressed all the time. I mean, being surrounded by men all the time would be alright sometimes, but seriously, how bored would you get? So I decided that Konan would be a little nice to Sakura, like a sisterly bond type relationship hopefully. Anyways The anti- rape thing? Yeah, I thought it would be funny XD
Now for all you nice people out there

XX
Here's a big one ;D
For Yuti-chan x6
1: Honestly I was a little shaky on the start, but im ecstatic that someone likes the beginning, I guess Sakura's outburst would be something I would do if I was in her situation, but of course she has some form of skill, while I lack hand-eye coordination.
2: I know! I mean, seriously, what happened if their plumbing suddenly went bad? Where would they get a plumber from? Would they hire one then kill him? Or would they have their own plumber? Would they be ninja plumbers?
3: Yeah, we all know Hidan's a jerk XD but we love him anyways
4: Im happy you love it! It only makes me more happy to write it out for people
5: Yeah, Sakura's crazy. But she was always crazy (no surprise there) I hope you like this new chapter as much as the rest of the story.

XX
For Akatsuki-chan 4 president: Yes, I know, im a terrible person. In habit I just put all my stories as 'complete' even when their not. I changed it over to 'in progress' so hopefully it will cut the confusion.
XX
For Akatsuki-chan 4 president (again ;D) : Why thank you, I believe I will have fun with my pokémon addiction :D. Im still contemplating whether I should have a Jolteon or a Leafeon, I mean, I love Jolteon, but if I use the thunderstone I wont be able to evolve my Pikachu into a Richu, which is my favourite pokémon soo yeah.
