AU: Ok! So here is the 10th chapter to, An Akatasuki Tail! I got a couple of comments that people were concerned, saying that other readers might think I stole some ideas from Fallicity's "Take it or Leave it", but I just wanted to tell all of my readers that this was purely my idea. We might both have some of the same ideas and details, but I take no absolute credit for this. Sorry for worrying you all! ^.^' Anyways, I got anouther comment about Sakura's medical jutsu. I probably forgot to fully explain this but she has been using her medical jutsu already when she healed Itachi in kitten form and when he was a human. Sorry for the misunderstanding, here's the story!

Sakura was currently in her room thinking about the Akatsuki's story. Everyone else was asleep, surprisingly, in her living room their snores echoing throughout the house. She was thinking about a strategy to get around the konoha ninjas, supplies she might have to bring, and if she even wanted to go through with this plan of theirs.

'Theirs? Oh great, I'm already thinking like a criminal...' Sakura thought to herself. 'Okay, map of countries: Check, clothes for trip: Check, Medical supplies: Check, Kunai, shuriken, sebon needles, poison vials: Check, Extra bandages for Itachi's wound: Check-wait, WHAT?' She mentally slapped herself at her motherly instincts. 'Why the hell did I pack those? I hate that Uchiha so why am I caring about his wound?!'

Sakura kept checking and rechecking her supplies until she finally fell asleep dreaming about a certain duckbutt-head Uchiha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone woke up in the morning even before the sun peeked behind the Hokage Mountain and headed out. THe Akatsuki were henged as Konoha residents as Sakura led them quickly and quietly through the village. They got about half-way through until they ran into some trouble. The change of the guards in front of the entrance to the village. Sakura silently cursed herself for not remembering the change in the morning.

Sakura was coming up with a plan until she felt a sharp tug on her sleeve. She turned to see Kakuzu motioning her to follow him and the others. A few paces away and out of hearing range of the guards, Sakura turned and asked,

"Where are we going now? I've never seen this part of the village before." Kisame turned to her with a smile. "We don't really know for sure. Itachi-san just signaled us to follow him so we did." he said. "This is an old, abandoned ANBU passage-way that goes straight throught to a hideout right outside the village walls." Itachi replied. Sakura scowled and asked, "If it's an ANBU passage-way, don't you think it would be the most guarded by, oh I don't know, THE ANBU?!" Itachi glared at her and said "Apparently your hearing has faltered. Let me repeat, this is an OLD and ABANDONED ANBU passage-way. I highly doubt that anyone uses it anymore. Mostly because a couple of the connecting tunnels caved in."

Sakura remained silent after that, glaring a hole in Itachi's back. How DARE he acts like he knows everything about this village! He abandoned it after commiting his sin and now he acts like he's still a damn ANBU Black Op! She glared at him until they got to an old shack just outside of the village.

The group gathered to check over their supplies one more time and checked their map, planning the least noticable route. They headed out along the back forest path towards the Land of Mist. In the front was Madara followed by Pein and Konan along the sides. Behind them was Kakuzu and Hidan, arguing like usual, followed closly by Kisame and Itachi, disscusing some important matter in hushed tones. In the back was Deidara and Sasori arguing about art, and Sakura held up the back, looking deep in thought. Every once in a while she would snap her head up and glare malificiously at Itachi, then settled her head back down. After doing this for about and hour or two, Itachi turned his head and glared coldly at her, making her flinch.

Konan slowed her pace and waited for Sakura, then walked beside her. "What's on your mind, Sakura?" she asked with a concerned tone. 'That damn Uchiha, I wish I could just strangle that slender neck of his! Maybe then he wouldn't hold his head so high! Or maybe I could push him into a lake and drown him as a kitten! Or even I-' "Sakura-chan??" Konan asked her again, pulling her out of her thoughts. "Wh-What?" "I asked what was on your mind lately. You seemed royally pissed about something."

Sakura thought this over for a couple of seconds the exhaled a sigh. 'Well, if not now, then it will never get off of my chest.' She turned to Konan as she aked "Wait, were you thinking of Itachi again?" Sakura's hate ubbled up in her chest as she said that. That damn man! "Yes" she said, gritting her teeth. Konan made her slow down until the were a little bit away from the others. "Okay, spill. It's obviously hurting you so why don't you just tell me?" Sakura sighed and started her story.
