Alrighty numero 7! Bringing back the Rei girl! I think she may end up playing a big role in this story! Also I after I have progressed this one far enough or to a close I have another story in mind. That one will be more on time because it's written down in 6 100 page spirals front and back. Hehehehe.. Don't have a name for it yet.

Thinking back later this will be just thinking obviously.. ^^

Inner Sakura

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Your boobs got bigger…." Itachi stared at Rei whom had him pushed up against the wall. Sakura had been pushed up against the opposite wall by Deidara and Sasori who had felt an odd presence. Sakura thought back to this morning.

After she had half destroyed her own house because of the three new akatsuki members who had shown up and made their presence known to both Itachi and Sakura. The three of them proceeded to help her repair the house. It took a good portion of the day. She fed the four of them, seeing as they weren't here to hurt her… They wouldn't have gotten through the door if they were going to… Surprisingly they weren't picky eaters for being missing nin.

Shocker…. Inner Sakura thought as she served out the rest of the sauted veggies n rice. Sakura had barely picked at her own food so it just sat in front of her. It was another day closer to her birthday… she was kind of worried what she was going to do for it. Sasori and Deidara were having their usual fight about art. Sakura listened with mild interest. Itachi kept his nose buried in his bowl of food. Enjoying it?

"Art should last a life time. Kept preserved at its peak, when it is at its most beautiful." Sasori said with a quirked eye brow at the blonde missing ninja that sat across from him. Deidara on the other hand sat with his arms crossed his chopsticks poised in his left hand –who woulda taken Dei for a lefty?- shaking his head side to side slowly.

"I disagree. Yeah. Art should only last momentarily, blown up into oblivion. Scattered to the winds. Yeah." They had been going at this since they had finished the floor to the living room. Both had noticed a vase that had been broken and glued back together sitting on an in table. Somehow they eventually pulled Sakura into it. They both stared at her waiting for an answer.

"Well, there are two different types of arts . -Well I think there is- But there are arts that are supposed to last a short time. Like fireworks, they blow up and u can admire them before they disappear. Then there are arts that are meant to last a life time. Like paintings, or jewelry. So in all actuality, you are both right!" She smiled at the two who sat before her Deidara with a bite posed at his mouth and Sasori with a piece of a vegetable already in his mouth that then fell out. Both stared at her in both admiration and interest. That's when the back door to the kitchen opened and a t-shirt and shorts clad Rei walked through.

"Is that Saki-Chans home cookin' I smell?!" She opened her eyes and was shocked by the sight she saw. Four missing nin sitting in Sakura's kitchen, and they were for the most part… relaxed. Itachi immediately dropped his chopsticks, got up and oddly enough adopted a Naruto-like run. Rei adopted an adaptation of Sakura's pissed off face. She took off after Itachi immediately.

"I. TA. CHI!!!" There was soon some scuffling in the living room, Sakura and the 3 missing nin got up and walked into the living room, where they now stood in their current situation.

"Your boobs got bigger…" Rei's hands were wrapped around Itachi's throat.

"By Kami, you are straight…" Kisame said with a toothy grin on his blue face. Itachi gave him a death glare and then resumed looking at Rei. Who looked like she was going to break down into tears at any moment. Sure enough, she did.

"You… you left me alone… all alone.. Sasuke.. wouldn't even look at me anymore.. now he's gone and he left me here by myself too…" Tears rolled down her cheeks as she cried. Itachi gently set his hands on her shoulders.. This girl was the only other person, who he could really stand touching… Rei's hands moved off of Itachi's throat and then to his chest, where she collapsed into him and started to sob uncontrollably. Soon the tears subsided into small sniffles. Sakura leaned against the door frame to the living room, she had never heard Rei cry before and she was sure it would never happen again ethier. Rei regained her composure and hit Itachi in the side of his head with her hand in a blade form.

"That's for talking about my boobs again you fucking pervert!" Sakura giggled and Rei smiled the biggest grin you could imagine possible. Sasori stood there quietly observing this woman who stood before him, she stood a head shorter then Itachi. Ash colored hair which was defiantly not unique to Konoha…. Of course nethier was cotton candy pink hair… His eyes widened as he saw her slate eyes. Navy blue nail polish on her nails and toes.

Interesting choice of color… She does not seem to be from konoha at all yet she is familiar with attire, customs and the locals… He blinked as he watched how Itachi talked to her, and how he acted around her. He was very talkative-ish… He defiantly talked more than normal that's for freaking sure.

Kisame was making his own appraisal of the chick in front of them. He watched how she teased Itachi, and how familiar she was with him. How COMFORTABLE she was around him despite the fact he was a killer.

"Wait fish face thought you were gay?!" Rei said with a smirk.

"Who you callin' fish face there cupcake?" Rei looked at Kisame, her eyebrow quirked at this blue 'thing' that stood before her.

"Do I look like a sweet treat? Blueberry man?" Rei said back. Deidara chirped in at that point.

"No. Yeah. But if you were Itachi'd be eating you. Yeah." Sakura's face went completely red at that comment and Rei happened to look over at her and started giggling. Itachi was not amused… but a small smile escaped anyway. Ok maybe it was amusing just a little, very little… very, very little!

"You've been spending too much time with Tobi.." Was all Itachi said.

"Sakura you pervert!!!!" Rei yelled. Sakura looked at Rei, a smile spread across her lips.

"You were thinking the same thing!!!!" She jumped at the 19 year old girl and proceeded to have a wrestling match with her.

"All we need is some mud and this would be good!! Yeah." Deidara said taking the words out of Kisame's mouth. Sasori looked at the two girls wrestling on the floor. Rei was at some point on top and grabbed Sakura's boobs.

"No worries Shark boy! Itachi is straight! Him's likes to molest little girls! Like this one!!!" Referring to Sakura whose face turned red at being grabbed in front of people who were virtually strangers to her. Sakura bent her legs far enough backward and grabbed Rei in a reverse suplex kinda thingy… and flipped Rei over her back.

"Umm Rei I think your more of a child molester…. Sakura is only turning 16… consenting age yes… but still under the age. Besides I prefer my women to be…" He was cut off by a black ball of fur that flew at his feet.

"Itachi sir! There is something different about you? Are your eyes fixed did Sakura-Chan fix them???" Arkany sat at his feet with a tired Nayo following behind whom then leaned against Sakura's leg who was sitting on top of Rei.

"Hi Nay Nay!" Rei Said

Wow she seems to have a fucked up nickname for everyone she knows…. Sasori thought as he looked at the girl lying under Sakura. Nayo looked at Rei and meowed happily.

"Rei-Chan!! Nayo is so glad to see you!! Look look! Your Itachi-kun is here!! Did you find anything out about where you came from or your family? OH! Nayo wants to know if you found your memories yet!!" Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly, probably one of the most kept secrets is where Rei came from, and all those who knew are dead with the exception of his annoying little brother, himself, and… him… That man was the one who took her memories.. For one reason or another he did not know. Did it have to do with where she is originally from? A place that's considered a myth…

"Hey Lava girl, why'd the white fuzz ball call Itachi yours?" Kisame asked. Rei looked at Itachi questionly. Itachi answered instead of Rei.

"The Uchiha clan adopted only once into the clan and that was Rei. I found her during one of my missions and brought her back to Konoha, she was just wandering the forest lost in rags and nothing but her first name and a ninja headband. I insisted that she stay with the Uchiha family… Because there was something about her that was interesting, something that I liked I guess you could say.

"You just wanted to keep me around cause I was your 'lost puppy' that you wanted to keep!" Rei grinned a big grin. Itachi watched her for a moment, he knew that smile was fake that was the smile that she always smiled in the beginning. It was her sad and lost smile. Obviously bringing something of this magnitude up wasn't a good idea. Rei then continued on.

"No unfortunately… I haven't found… anything… Not a single damn… thing.." Rei looked down like she was ashamed. Sakura moved from sitting on top of her sitting on the couch after she grabbed a book that sat on the table in front of her. The cover of the book had a village symbol on it. But none that anybody would recognize.

"Where did you get that." Itachi asked eyeing the book with the strange curled marking. He knew that symbol… it's where Rei came from. Sakura looked as everyone cautiously sat down. She found it kind of funny, but the book was foreign to all of them. Rei and Itachi sat on ethier side of Sakura on the couch whilst the other three – Dei, Sasori, and Kisame- sat on the floor on the other side of the little table.

"A civilian shop. I found it in a civilian shop outside of konoha. Near the location Itachi originally found you.." She opened the book, inside the pages were bloody some pages so bad you couldn't read them. As well as some pages that were completely torn out.

"It's a record book, like other villages rosters keeping track of all the ninja." Sasori offered. Deidara looked at it as well.

"Why is it covered in blood?" Kisame wondered. Rei reached for the book, as soon as she touched it. She retracted her hand holding it as if she were burned.

"Because that book is from the village I came from… the one that was destroyed almost 20 years before.. The village of shadows…" Itachi had flipped to the last page and his eyes widened as he dropped the book onto the table again. Deidara looked and his mouth dropped open. As did everyone else's as they followed suit looking at the page.

"The last known ninjas… Rei, and a boy." Sakura said Rei blinked and tears started forming.

"I'm not alone…" Rei immediately took off out the front door. Itachi stood with the other three missing ninja.

"Rei.. has a twin…" Sakura breathed. Itachi exchanged looks with the other three. Some unspoken conversation was happening in front of her. Sakura looked at Arkany.

"I think Itachi is going to appeal to the Akatsuki, to help find this twin.."
