Normal POV~

Black cloak hung around him, creating a large shadow behind him. Silently, he watched the man kiss his woman.

That made him frown.

Forcing himself not to interfere, he clenched his hands tight. Jealousy surrounded him.

"She would have been mine if that didn't happen." He thought.

Flashback~ (Normal POV)

"How is Sakura chan?" The 3 said at the same time.

"She's better right now, though she shouldn't use her charkra too much as its causing her lots of stress that people of her age will not be able to cope." The doctor replied professionally.

The three nodded and walked towards Sakura's hospital room.

Having not been in a hospital since young, Madara cringed at the sight of his Sakura chan covered in needles connected to tubes.

"Sakura chan, how are you feeling?" Shisui asked carefully.

"Hahahha I'm strong like a… a bull!" She replied cheerfully, not wanting to worry her saviours.

"We shouldn't have made you use so much of your charkra at one go." Itachi apologized

"nahh! I also wanted to try it out too so it isn't your fault at all.. and any of yours!"

Knowing of her well being made the 3 relax.

Even though she got hospitalised, what really surprised them 3 was that the outcome was something they didn't expect.

-She had slashed all of the trees surrounding her with just 5 seconds of concentration-

It surprised them as at that age, it would have been impossible for anyone. But she did it, with just mere seconds of concentration.

Asking her what happened, Sakura replied innocently," I just followed what I was asked me to do."

Knowing they wouldn't get their wanted answers, they told her to sleep and rest well.

Once outside, all 3 split to different places, as if they didn't know each other.

End Flashback~

Sakura's POV~

Blank.

"I love you." Was what he said.

It may seem nothing much but this was the first time anyone has said that 3 words to me. Even my late mum and dad did not.

I sat there stunned.

"It may be a joke! Don't get so happy." I thought.

"You're kidding right? There's no way anyone, especially you, will want to say that to me." I stated calmly.

"I'm not. What I've said was true. Everything."

And at that, he kissed me once more.

Not being able to resist, I too followed.

Tears streamed down my cheeks knowing that this was never true. Because I knew, I will never be able to live happily.

But knowing this, I let myself enjoy this just this one night and that's all.

x-x-x-x-x

The next day, whenever I saw him, I avoided.

Not wanting to hurt myself, I trained the whole day with Itachi.

During the break, I ate just a piece of bread and continued my own training without Itachi as he had a mission.

While practicing my moves, I heard someone walking up to the clearing.

I turned and found Him standing and looking at me.

"Leader sama?"

"My room, 30 minutes."

Remembering about the night before, I struggled to answer.

"Hai Leader sama." I uttered.

And he left.

Not sure what to do, I continued training for a further 25 minutes and strode to His room.

Outside his room stood Deidara. Giving him a questionable look, he shrugged.

Both of us entered.

"Mission. Take this and be back by the end of this week." He ordered while passing the mission scroll to Deidara.

We both bowed and proceeded to our rooms together.

S: "Dei, can I ask you something?"

D: "Hm?"

S: "How long have you been in Akatsuki?"

D: "when I was 14 un."

S: "has there been any… other members?"

D: "you mean like Orochimaru un?"

S: "yes.."

D: "Yeah there is un. If I remember correctly, someone left 2 years after Orochimaru death un."

S: "Who was it?"

D: "It wasn't written down in the Bingo Book un?"

S: "Nope."

D: "The person who left was… Konan sama."

S: "Sama? Was she an important person in Akatsuki?"

D: "She and Pein created Akatsuki un."

Pause.

D: "Sakura un?"

S: "Huh? Ah sorry. Why did she leave?"

D: "I think it was because she quarrelled with Pein about something concerning Orochimaru death or maybe not un."

S: "I see. OK I've reached. Thanks Dei. See you later in 1hr time."

D: "Sure un!"

Closing the door behind me, I flopped down on to the floor.

"So it was that woman he was thinking about at that time?" I asked myself.

Realization came upon me.

I've no rights to be angry at her. I was the one being the extra person. The woman that was supposed to be seated beside him on the rooftop was her. I was just a replacement. And I don't deserve to have someone else partner as my own. Mine was long gone. He accused me of killing someone and told me not to come near him. Him, my friend, brother, teammate, lover. I was rejected. I deserved to be.
