"Sakura-Chan!" Naruto bellowed down her ear, making Sakura jump suddenly.
"What!?" She hastily replied, almost scaring him. Shaking his hand furiously he said "Nothing! Nothing, Sakura-Chan. Your just-" "Just what?" The pink girl interrupted, "Just…well, Agitated! Annoyed! You don't seem happy to be back home!" He nervously told her, sitting back down Naruto turned back to his ramen, slurping at it nervously. He was right. She didn't seem happy, not in the least.
'We should try to find them again.' Inner Sakura suggested, but she shook her head inwardly. 'No. You saw Dei, uh, Deidara. He'll hate us, um, me, if I go back now.' she answered herself, but they couldn't agree. 'You know there's always going to be something in you, that still loves him. And if you don't go back for him, why not Konan? Or Sasori.' 'Sasori.' Her memories of the earlier activities returned to her.
"Sakura-Chan!" Naruto's voice broke again. This time, she didn't answer, the pink girl just stood up and began to walk away. "Sakura! Sakura-Chan!" He yelled, throwing money from his little frog wallet onto the counter, he ran quickly to catch up to her. "Sakura-Chan! Where are you going?" He persistently asked.
'Tell him!' Inner roared. 'I can't!' 'You must!' 'No!' this battle in her mind continued, she almost forgot that Naruto was following. Until he jumped in front of her.
"Sakura-Chan! Where. Are. You. Going!?" He growled at her, out of breath, having eaten too much ramen and walking extremely quickly in order to keep up with Sakura. The medic pushed past Naruto, with out talking, then stopped behind him.
"I'm sorry Naruto." Sakura choked, turning back to him, she squarely jabbed him in a spot in his back, knocking him out cold.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You did WHAT?" The feisty purple haired Akatsuki roared in her blonde companions face. Before he had time to explain himself, she floored Deidara in one swift punch. "Konan, she'll return." The red haired puppeteer answered for the unconscious blonde, whilst fixing up his new puppet.
"How do you know?" Konan snarled at him, Sasori placed his tools down and sighed. "She will, don't worry." He answered her, walking from the room. Pausing in the hall way, away from the shouting now coming from Kisame and Hidan, which sounded like a lot of curse words and nonsense about Deidara's state, Sasori looked out of the window. 'Sakura. Prove me right, come back…For Konan's sake.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura managed to walk home without any distractions or unwanted people approaching her. She quietly walked up the stairs and looked inside her room. 'The same as before.' She breathed to herself. Entering the room, she locked the door behind her. Finding her old suitcase, she piled masses of clothes inside it, make-up, hair products, anything in her house worth of value.
"Going somewhere?" A familiar voice called out. Sakura's eyes opened widely as she recognised it. But before she turned around to face them, she straightened her face to mask her upcoming story.
"Tsunade-Sama." The pink medic said, turning around her face remained as stoic as ever. "Hai, I wanted to move away from this house. Its memories. Everything." she zipped her suitcase up and pulled it from the bed it rested on.
"Ah-ha." Her sensei unenthusiastically retorted. "So, could you explain why Naruto was found unconscious on the floor, a couple of minutes ago?" Shocking Sakura, her movements fumbled as she made up a new story.
"Uh, yeah. He, uh. Wait, what? Naruto's hurt?" The pink, fantastic liar conjured up. Not fooling Tsunade. As the blonde Hokage moved towards her and slowly took the suitcase from her hands. "Nice try." She breathed at her student. Sakura's face turned angry as she eyed up her sensei.
"Give me my suitcase back, Tsunade-Sama. Please." She controllably pled. But the Hokage shook her head. "Where are you going Sakura?" She asked once more. "I told you." Sakura glared, "I'm moving away from here. To-" "To the Akatsuki's hideout?" Tsunade butted in. Sakura's face changed once more, to disbelief. "What? Did you see what they did to me?" The pink girl gasped loudly. "I thought they didn't touch you, Sakura?" The truth was coming out, Sakura knew it. She had no choice. Picking a Kunai from her back pocket, she acted casually and calm to the Hokage. "Yes. They didn't. You're right." She smiled insecurely. Tsunade seemed worried by her change. "Sakura Why are you-" she began, but her student interrupted her "Of course, you weren't there, I could easily be lying." Sakura beamed strangely, edging closer to Tsunade, she pulled her suitcase to the side, closer to the window of her room. "For all you know, I could have loved it there. I could have made friends with them all, I could have cooked Breakfast with Sasori, Argued with Kisame…I could've even betrayed your little village by sleeping with Deidara." Sakura scarily smiled, walking edgily closer to her teacher.
"Sakura, Are you…okay?" Tsunade enquired. "Oh, yeah. I'm just fine!" The medic replied. "Fine, happy, just great!" She smirked. "But your not." She gasped quickly. Her eyes widened suddenly as she rammed her hidden Kunai into her ex-Sensei's leg, sending the leaf village's Hokage to the floor of her room. Grabbing her suitcase she balanced on the window, holding the rim at the top, looking over to the injured Hokage. "Lucky you're a Medic-nin, Tsunade! That leg will be fine in no time!" Sakura shouted back, before jumping from her bedroom window to the floor.
It took moments before she arrived at the gate, luckily the guards were on change, so there would be no one minding them for the next couple of minutes. She ran smoothly through the gate, only to crash into someone entering the other side.
"Sakura!" The voice rang. As the pink escapee looked up, she was hugged furiously. "Konan?" Her shaky voice replied. Indeed it was. "What are you doing here?" Both girls asked in unison, as Sakura stood up to face her. "Never mind!" the purple ninja smiled down at her. Grabbing her wrist she led her through the dark forest. "Come on, we're leaving." She hushed, taking her to an opening in the trees. Sakura recognised it to be where Ino was found…dead. She didn't notice where Konan took her, jumping up and around many obstacles, they finally landed on something soft.
"Sakura?" Another voice said, catching the pink's attention. Deidara. Her eyes narrowed as he turned to face her. "Sakura, I'm glad your okay, un." He smirked to her, but she ignored him. "Okay, that's enough. Go, Dei!" Konan quickly shot at him, making turn around as the massive clay bird drifted up into the sky. The ride was going to be long back to the base. As the two girls mindlessly chatted away to each other, Dei turned around quickly. The other two quickly silenced as he did so. "Here." The blonde man gestured, removing his cloak from around him and handing it to his lover. She didn't thank him, but simple took it and placed it around her cold body. "You should thank him." Sakura's purple friend whispered in her ear, whilst pushing her forward, closer to Dei who was controlling the clay bird. Sakura protested until Dei could hear her, and turned to face her.
"Uh, Thanks." She timidly and stonily said to her ex-lover. The blonde Akatsuki smirked to himself, turning the bird to the right, gently making Sakura knock shoulders with him. "Sakura, un." he finally spoke to her. She looked stoically up to him. "Thanks." he finished, making her rather confused. "What for?" Sakura asked. He leaned down closer to her, still keeping an eye where he was flying. "For coming home." Suddenly, the massive bird hit the floor, knocking Sakura strongly into Dei. She blushed madly, for some reason as Konan jumped away from them. "Sakura!" Many Akatsuki shouted out to her. Upon jumping off the clay bird, she was bombarded by them all. All shouting their praise at her return. "Where's Sasori?" She asked them all, but none answered, they simply parted away from her. Revealing her red-haired friend at the doorway. She ran over to him, hugging his wooden-like body. "Sakura?" A certain blonde called from behind, she turned slowly around, having Sasori directly behind her. Dei walked over slowly, as the whole Akatsuki group remained silent. Well, almost silent. You could hear Konan making quiet threats to the blonde.
"Sakura-Chan, un." He saddened. "I'm sorry, un." He finished, before becoming too scared of her reaction, but was stopped by a hand on his arm. "Dei." Sakura soothed. As he turned around, all the other Akatsuki members suddenly turned vicious. Even Deidara. "What?" the pink medic panicked, as they all turned to the forest opening. She was about to get an answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tsunade-Baa-Sama!" Naruto panicked, entering the hospital room she was in. The Hokage sat, with blue chakra streaming from her hand, healing her leg that Sakura attacked earlier. "I don't believe Sakura-Chan did this!" He shouted at her, waving his finger at her. "Naruto, will you calm down!" She roared at the hyper blonde, stopping him dead in his tracks. "It happened. All that matters now is that we stop it." She hissed, standing up, she limped slightly on her injured leg. Two ANBU ninja's appeared beside her. "Naruto, change into your ANBU uniform, please. I'm sending you on a mission." She commanded. Naruto nodded seriously at his leader "What mission, Tsunade?" He asked. "Your going back to the Akatsuki base. Find them. Kill them all." The Hokage requested. The blonde ANBU gulped loudly. "Kill them all?" "Yes." "Even-" "Yes, Naruto. Even Sakura." Tsunade replied before he finished. "Take as many ANBU you think you may need along with you." She added, before the two ANBU next to her poofed outside the room. "But, Tsunade-Sama. Sakura-Chan is my best friend. I-" He told her, but Tsunade shook her head. "She's not your friend, Naruto." She spat harshly. "She's a traitor. She knocked you out to run back to them. Then attacked me, the Hokage, her own Sensei, to get her way." Naruto was distraught by the words she said to him, but nodded at the end of her lecture.
"Hai, Baa-Sama." Naruto nodded up to her. "As you say." Along with the other ANBU, he left the hospital.
"Go back to the tower, gather all the ANBU currently there." He commanded them. They quickly jumped over the roofs of the houses, back to the ANBU base. Stopping at the Konoha gates, he frowned seriously. "This is war."
