A/N: I'll do my disclaimer quick.

I do not own it, it's sad but true.


Chap. 11

"Dear Deidara…
I'm fine and we just returned from another successful mission (this one was in grass… give Sasori the extra letter)
Guess what?! When we returned from the mission we were told we were promoted. Can you believe it!!!! I'm a jonin, next up is ANBU!!!
I miss you all!!
Naruto wanted me to fetch some ramen with the rest of the team and their girlfriends, so I have to go.
Tell the bastard (and fishy) I said hi (and Sasuke sends his love)
Love Sakura." Deidara had finished reading the letter to the others and he passed the small letter to Sasori. "I told you she would become jonin soon, un" he continued with pride in his voice.

"How shouldn't she, she is trained by us after all" Kisame said his big ego swelling "so why did you get a scroll" he said to Sasori who was reading hi scroll.

"She was to grass" he answered like it was obvious.

"I think I speak for all of us when I say 'Hu?'" Kisame said.

"No" Itachi said speaking for the first time since Deidara called them down.

"Grass is famous for its poisons" Sasori explained "she found out about some of their potions and antidotes"

"Aa… well I have some sake to drink, see ya"

"No, we have a mission" Itachi said.

"Damn it"

XxXxX

"Sakura-chan, come on, we have to celebrate" the blond kyuubi container shouted to the pink hared girl.

"I'm on my way" she ran downstairs too see a whole bunch of people, there was Tenten, Neji, Lee, Ino, Hinata, Kakashi, Gai, Naruto and Sasuke of course.

"Let's go" Naruto's girlfriend shouted happily before Naruto dragged her with him to the ramen-bar. The others didn't rush, they were pretty calm actually. After they had found big table and ordered their ramen Kakashi started to talk.

"We'll have a one week vacation at a small inn in The Land of Honey; they have a lovely spa so Tsunade sent us there."

"Ooh... How nice, I've heard about it. Sakura you have to try the honey-bath. I've heard it's really good for your skin" Ino said looking at Sakura.

"A-and try their s-special. It's an m-manicure and the bath and m-massage" Hinata said. Sakura looked as scared as the boys, while Tenten just ate her food.

"Uh… thanks for the tip… I'll… think about it" she said, she had never been a 'girly-girl' the only girl more than she was leader's partner and she wasn't that feminine either. 'I guess Oro-chan was the most feminine person there' 'he was, damn him' 'I know leaving us like that'

Flashback

Sakura was sleeping in the bed she had shared with her 'dad' when she was really small. Now she usually slept in her own bed but she had had really bad dream and only Orochimaru was able to comfort her when that happened. She was ten and Itachi had been there for two years now, she liked him a lot but Orochimaru was her favourite. That night, while she was sleeping Orochimaru was looking at her from the other side of the room. He considered her like his own daughter; no he loved her like if she was his daughter.

"I'm sorry Saku-chan, but I have to leave" he mumbled to the sleeping girl. He walked over to her and gave her a light kiss on the forehead. With that he left her and the Akatsuki base to never return

End of flashback

"Sakura, Sakura" some one was saying.

"Hu?" Sakura answered, then she noticed the others "sorry I kind of spaced out there."

"We noticed" Sasuke said dryly.

"Well I love you too…" Sakura said her words filled with sarcasm.

"What!! Sakura-chan do you love teme? But he has a girlfriend." Naruto looked scared; he was the only one not noticing the sarcasm.

"No… she was sarcastic" Ino answered before kissing him on the cheek. Sakura was really looking scared; Naruto was more stupid than Deidara.

"Phew…"

"And you know she already has a boyfriend" Sasuke said to Naruto.

"What?!" Ino shouted

"You have a boyfriend?" Hinata shouted with out shuttering.

"Since when?" Tenten she, also shouting.

Sakura stared at them before mumbling "girls are really weird…"

Neji nodded "we think so too" he got glared at by the three girls.

"So tell us" Ino demanded

"We've been together a while... And you saw him during the exams" Sakura remembered.

"Right. How did you meet?" Tenten asked.

"Well… I barley remember. I was only eight the first time I meet him, but you could say he moved to our town." Sakura said remembering how he came to the Akatsuki base. The smirk Orochimaru had on his lips that night was the scariest thing she'd seen since she meet the akatsukis at the age of four.

"And how did you start dating?" Ino asked. Sakura was thinking a while before answering.

"It sorta just happened." And that was the most honest thing she had said since she came to Konoha. The only reason she was so honest was because she actually had no idea how they got together.

"That's so sweet" Hinata said, she blushed when she realised she said it out loud with out shuttering. Sasuke kissed her on the lips and gave her a small smile. Neji was glaring at Sasuke looking like he wanted to kill him.

"It totality is" Ino said.

XxXxX

It was early the next morning and Team 7 was standing at the gate all of them ready to go to the land of honey. It was too early to say anything other than 'morning' 'Hn' 'Yo' or just yawning. They were all tired from the night before; it wasn't so much fun in going up two hours after going to sleep.

"When are we there" Naruto asked around noon, eight hours after leaving Konoha. His voice woke everyone out of their daze.

"Tomorrow" Kakashi said.

"Oh… when is lunch?" he asked again.

"When we stop" the silver-haired ninja said

"Can we stop now?" Naruto asked, Kakashi nodded and they all stopped and got down to the ground.

They had soon finished their lunch and got back in to the trees and started moving again. They didn't stop until far past nightfall. The night went by fast and soon again were they moving towards the land of honey.

It was evening when they got to the village were they should stay for their vacation.

After checking in at the inn they was staying at they went to the hot springs. They were in the same pool and Naruto decided to get to know Sakura more… Ino had begged him to find out as much as possible about Sakura's boyfriend, he had said no at first but when she threatened him with no sex or ramen he said okay. After they had gotten in to the water Naruto stared ad Sakura for a while.

"What, Naruto? You've been staring at me for a while now and it's pretty hard to relax." Sakura said to the blond.

"Uhm… well… tell me more about your boyfriend. He's name is Sora, right?"

Sakura nodded "what do you want to know…" she wouldn't tell them much but they were after all her team mates and they were starting to grow on her.

"How did you meet?" Naruto asked while Kakashi and Sasuke were listening.

"Uhm…" Sakura mumbled.

Flashback

Sakura was standing next to Orochimaru's leg, waiting for the new guy to come in. all of the akatsukis were in the living room waiting. Leader had told her earlier that she wasn't aloud to go there but she had a nightmare so Orochimaru took her with him.

Suddenly the door opened and a boy came in.

"Oro-chan who is that?" Sakura whispered to Orochimaru. He didn't have the time to answer before leader was talking.

"Uchiha Itachi, I'm guessing this means you took up on our offer" leader said.

The man nodded before saying "only a fool would say no" Sakura was amazed by his smooth voice. Leader made a sign for them to introduce them self.

"Hidan" a silver haired guy said.

"Kakuzu" the male next to Hidan said.

"Kisame" the shark-looking man said.

"Zetsu" a big plant with a white and a black side of his face said.

"I'm Sasori" Sasori made a small bow.

"Hm… an Uchiha, how nice. I'm Orochimaru" Orochimaru smirked at the young boy. The smirk he had was the scariest thing Sakura ever had seen.

"Oro-chan you know him?" Sakura asked with a small voice. Orochimaru nodded before telling her to tell Itachi her name.

"I am Sakura" she gave a big smile.

"Sakura! Didn't I tell you to stay in your room, it's to late for you to be up now" leader said.

"I had a nightmare" she stuck her tongue out at him. There was silence.

"Well Saku-chan. Now that you meet Itachi-san, why don't you go to bed" Sasori said to her.

"Okay, nighty" she said before walking away. She turned at the door "Itachi-san? You don't look so old… how old are you?"

"Thirteen" he said looking at the small girl.

End of flashback

"Sakura-chan… hello" Naruto was waiving his hand in front of Sakura.

"What do you want?" she asked him.

"An answerer… you kinda spaced out." The kyuubi container said.

"I did?! Sorry. He moved to our town… wait... haven't I already told you this." Sakura looked at them.

"Well, yes but I was hoping for a longer answer" Naruto made his puppy-eyes. Sakura glared at him before hitting him in the head.

"When are we going home?" Sasuke asked Kakashi"

"In a few days." Kakashi said.

"I'm going to bed" Sakura yawned and went up to change.
