Chapter 11

Oh crap!! What is he doing here!

Kabuto glanced around at everyone on the table. Sakura felt his eyes linger on her for a second longer.

"What do you want here, I thought you served that leach Orochimaru?" argued Kisame. No-one other than Sakura noticed that Kabuto winced at his former master's name.

"The only reason why I served him was because I wanted the leaf village destroyed; but since he is gone, he is no longer my master," explained Kabuto. "But I do know that you too wish to see Kohona perish since they are the ones who took your comrades' lives."

"Ah, so you have no other goal other than to defeat the Leaf. Well then, what makes you so powerful that you think you can join Akatsuki?" asked Konan.

"Well, I thought that if I'm good enough to serve Orochimaru, then I can serve you as well." Kabuto smirked as he pushed his glasses up.

"As the leader, I will decide on who joins and who doesn't," Pein declared. "And I say that he will take Itachi Uchiha's place as Kisame's partner."

Kisame called the manager over to get another chair for the table. The manager gave Sakura a sympathetic look which she returned with a glare of her own.

"So what are your plans on destroying Kohona?" Kabuto sat down. Kisame, Tobi and Zetsu chuckled.

"You honestly don't think that we'd just let you in with open arms and tell you all of our plans did you?" asked Kisame. Kabuto glared at him.

"What are you talking about?" he shouted angrily.

"Sorry, it's the rules. I'll be watching you for at least a month to make sure you can be trusted." Kisame smirked.

Kabuto glared at him, so did Sakura.

Damn it! I'm stuck here and they aren't even going to leak out any info! Sakura fumed and Pein sensed her aura change.

"What the matter, Blossom?" he whispered in her ear. Quickly she tried to think of an excuse.

"Erm… my shift is about to end in 10 minutes." she said covering her eyes with her bangs hoping he would believe her lie.

"Hn."

Wow, he sounds like Sasuke.

Don't compare our Sasuke with that cold blooded murder! He's the enemy!

God, I was talking about his attitude!

"You can go." Sakura looked up at him.

"What?"

"I said, you can go." he repeated. Everyone except Konan and Kabuto groaned. "But every time we come in here, you'll be our waitress and who knows, we might take you away with us."

"What?! There's no she can come with us! She'll slow us down and plus, why do you need her anyway?!" Konan shouted in anger.

Pein sighed.

"Because we want to have fun with her. You may not understand, but a guy has needs." Kisame licked his lips while looking at her.

What none of the Akatsuki and Sakura knew was that Yamoto had decided to use the same jutsu as before at the underside of the table and had heard every word that was said.

That bastard, I swear I will hunt him down and I will gut him!!!

Sakura quickly got up and bowed to Pein, but before she left Tobi managed to get a good feel of her backside.

She quickly walked into the kitchen and slid down the wall again.

"What are you doing here?!"

She looked up to see the manager looming over her, angry.

"Sir, may I please go home? I feel ill and I don't think I can stand another minute with them!" The manager looked at her and his expression softened.

"Fine you can go, but this is the only time I will allow that." He looked out the door. "And it seems like they've already left." Sakura got up and looked. Indeed, the table that the Akatsuki occupied was now vacant and Naruto was clearing up.

"Since they're gone sir, I think I can finish my shift." She looked up and smiled.

"Thank you, Kiyomi. I'm sorry about earlier, but I just don't want to cross those guys. They're really dangerous." he explained.

"It's okay, I understand" Sakura replied giving another smile.

She walked over to Naruto. He looked up at her and hugged her.

"You okay?" he asked. She rolled her eyes. "Yes Naruto, I'm fine. Calm down."

"Good," he said anger taking over his face, "cause I was about to go over and kill each and every one of them!"

"I need to tell you guys something important," she looked worried.

"What is it?" he asked, his anger disappearing instantly.

"Not here, wait till we're at the apartment." Naruto pouted at her but nodded his head in understanding.

Later that evening

Sakura explained everything that had happened, though she left out the groping parts and the last incident about her serving them and taking her with them.

Sakura noticed that everyone commented at a certain point in the story, especially the part about Kabuto, but only Yamoto stayed quite.

Sasuke winced once she mentioned that Kabuto would be taking the place of his deceased brother.

"……and then Kisame said that he would be watching Kabuto to make sure that they could trust him," she finished.

"But there's more," Yamoto looked at the ground. Everyone turned to him.

"What is it?" asked Kakashi. Sakura looked at him pleadingly, knowing what he was about to say.

"They want Sakura." Everyone glared at Sakura.

"WHAT?!" They all shouted in unison. Sakura looked downwards.

"They said that she is to serve them every time they come and when they leave, they're taking her with them." Yamoto explained.

Sasuke walked up to her and grabbed her arm. He pushed her chin upwards so she was looking him in the eye.

"Why didn't you tell us about that?" he asked, trying to control his voice by whispering but hatred still oozed in every word.

"Because it's not important" she whispered.

"If it involves you being taken away from us, then it is the most important thing in this mission." His face softened. " we won't let them, they'll be dead before they can try."

"I know, and that's why I'm not worried; I know that I have you." she looked down. "I mean… you all." she quickly added to the sentence.

He smirked and squeezed her arms in reassurance. She felt a hand on her shoulder that belonged to Kakashi who was smiling at her. Behind him, Naruto was giving her thumbs up while Sai stood next him. Yamoto was leaning on the wall behind them; all of them were smiling at her.

She ran over to them grabbing Sasuke and Kakashi and pulled all of them into a group hug. She looked up into each of their faces.

"I love you guys. " she said tenderly, giving them a heartwarming smile.

"And we love you" said Kakashi giving her serious but fond look. She hugged them again before letting go and standing back.

"Hmm… What to do?" She pushed Naruto, Kakashi and Sasuke out of the way and started inspecting Sai and Yamoto.

"Err, Sakura what are you doing?" Sai looked at her cautiously.

"Well, you guys don't have a disguise and Kabuto knows what you look like, so I'm thinking of what to do with you."

"Oh, Sakura-Chan you're so smart!" Sakura gave Naruto the peace sign.

"Does that mean we have to change our names? And what are we going to tell the manager?" asked Sai.

"Just keep the same names, and tell the manager you got sick of looking like me and Yamoto can tell him that he just wanted a new look." said Sasuke.

Sakura pulled Sasuke over to Yamoto and Sai.

"What?" he asked bewildered.

"Well, what's the point in trying to stop Sai from looking like Sai when you look like Sai?" she asked. Naruto looked at her, scratching his head.

"Eh?"

"Never mind, Naruto."

"Okay I have an idea. Naruto, go to my bag and get my make up and Kakashi, go get some hair dye." commanded Sakura.

Sakura noticed a mischievous twinkle in Naruto's eyes.

"Actually, strike that. Kakashi go get my make up Naruto go get the dye." She changed her mind, bonking Naruto on the head.

"ITAII SAKURA-CHAN!!! I NEVER EVEN DID ANY THING WRONG!!"

"But you were going to!" She shouted. "Now get going!" She picked him up and threw him out of the apartment.

"Okay, I think I'm going to dye your hair dark blue," she said pointing at Sasuke "and yours light blue," she said pointing at Sai.

"Why those colors?" asked Sasuke.

"Cause those are Ki and Hirku's hair colors." said Kakashi coming back with the make up.

"Who are they and how do you guys know them?" asked Sai, getting slightly angry that Sakura knew two guys that he, Sasuke and Naruto hadn't checked out yet.

"They're her older twin brothers and we know them because we've been on various Jounin missions with them." replied Yamoto.

"Oh" said Sai. The door opened, indicating that Naruto had returned.

"Err... Sakura?" Sai started.

"What is it?" she asked, wondering what was troubling the young artist.

"Could you tell us about your family?" he asked a light blush on his face as he looked at the ground. She looked at him and gave another smile.

"Sure. How about when this mission is over, we take a holiday to Suna and I introduce you guys to them?"

While Sakura, Kakashi and Naruto gave the others a makeover, she told them about her parents, her twin brothers and her two sisters, with Kakashi and Yamoto adding in their own stories about the times when they were on missions with them.

"Okay, done." Sakura said, stepping away from Sasuke.

Sasuke hair was made lighter so that instead of black it was a darkish blue colour; while Sai's was light blue. They decide to keep their skins pale as they looked better that way.

At first, they turned Yamoto's hair white but decided against it since Kakashi started huffing about having his style stolen. In the end, they all agreed on a dark green colour, which Naruto laughed at saying how Yamoto looked like tree now.

"Okay, guys it's 1:00 in the morning, so it's time for bed." ordered Kakashi.

The boys went into the bedroom to change while Sakura went to the bathroom. Once everyone was ready, they all crawled into bed.

Sakura turned around in bed to see Sasuke facing her. She smiled at him and started getting comfortable in bed.

"Sakura, did you mean it?" Sasuke whispered so as not to disturb anyone else.

"About what?" she questioned.

"When you said we can visit your family," he asked his voice even softer then before. Sakura smiled at him, she lifted her arm and rested it on his chest before moving over and placing her head there as well.

"Yeah, I've always wanted you guys to meet them, but about a month before you… returned, Tsunade-sama asked them if they could move Suna to help out there. I was the only one who stayed here but I would usually visit them every year."

"Ah, so that's where you go when it's you birthday. We asked Kakashi and Yamoto but they didn't tell us, they probably thought that Naruto would go along and ruin your family moment." Sasuke said placing his hand upon hers.

Sakura laughed

"Well, they got that wrong." she stated, lifting her hand and playing with his fingers that were now intertwined with hers. Again she looked up.

"You lot are my family," she paused "I love you all just as much as I love my family in Suna."

Sasuke smirked and kissed her the top of her head.

"Good night," he whispered. She yawned slightly.

"Night," she said before cuddling with him and finally falling asleep.

A/N : I am so sorry for the late chapter. Something happened at work so my hours got doubled. Anyway here it is (finally). Okay I lost count on the lemon voting so have decide to write one.

Now before the non-lemon people start crying I am going to make it a separate chapter so you can completely miss it if you want. What I mean is

Example

Chapter 1 - story

Chapter2 - lemon

Chapter3 - story

You can miss it completely and don't worry; nothing important other then the lemon will happen in it. You can pretend it never happened, that way I can make everyone happy.
