Enslaved!

WARNING: Story contains graphic lemon, lime, and adult stuffs XD. Oooohhhh, that's right, BEWARE!! The plotline and characters are also kind of insane, so this is very different from any of my other stories. All I can say is, I was trying to be as creative here as possible. Don't kill me!

Chapter 14:
"So Ino-pig, did you hear that I'm dating Sasuke-kun now?"
Ino practically had to pick her jaw up off the floor. "What?!"
Her rival/friend nodded. "It's true. Just ask him if you don't believe me."
Sasuke came over and put a hand on Sakura's shoulder. "Sakura-chan, don't be mean. You know you shouldn't go around telling everyone that. if word gets back to Leader-sama, then-"
"Pfft, who cares about Pein-san?!"
She kept herself busy scrubbing the dishes, until her share was done, leaving Ino to finish hers. Deidara wasn't standing too close, but he stuck around long enough to hear what was going on.
"Sasuke-kun... Is that... is that true?" The blue-eyed girl looked to her dark angel, obviously hurt by the other girl's words. "Are you and that bitch actually dating?!"
"Yeah," Sasuke turned to leave the kitchen, following Sakura to Pein's office where they had been told to go after breakfast. "Sorry Ino-san, I've got to go. Another time, okay?"
"Whatever, both of you can go to hell for all I care!"
She continued with her task, in silence. She knew Deidara was still in the room, but she already felt ashamed of herself, so she was too embarassed to talk to him. Right now, Ino was feeling the bitter sting of rejection, and she didn't want to talk to anybody. When she was done with her share of the dishes, she turned around. She was startled to see the other blonde was still there.
"Y-you waited for me, Deidara-sama?"
"Yeah, un. It's only polite. Besides, I'm worried about you un. Wouldn't want you hurting yourself again yeah..."
"Oh," She hung her head, looking at the floor all the way back to their room. She took a seat on his bed, hoping he wouldn't mind. After a few minutes, she broke the long awkward silence. "So what do we do now?"
Deidara had just been content with watching the various emotions play across her perfect features. Or she was perfect to him, anyway. "I don't know um... We're pretty just just awaiting orders from Leader-sama. I don;t have anything to do, un. Oh that reminds me though! Isn;t it the day you're supposed to water Zetsu-san? I'll go with you, if you want."
"Yeah, it is. I think I'll be alright to handle it on my own, though. I'll be fine."
"Yeah well I'm going with you just in case, un."
Ino didn't care. She shrugged, and lead the way outside to where the plant-man waited. He was patient, and scared her a little less this time. But no one spoke as she completed her stupid task. She was less than happy about having to do this, but it didn't take long. She found she kind of enjoyed being outside, after being cooped up inside the Akatsuki hideout for so long.
They went back inside, and again no one said anything. She thought she heard the creepy plant guy mutter a thank you, but she wasn't sure. Deidara had never felt more sorry for the girl. He knew she was heartbroken... And there was nothing she could do about it.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I guess the three of you are wondering why I wanted to talk all of you together," Pein had started explaining the situation to the three Ninja who were waiting for him when he got back to his office. "Sorry to keep you waiting, but I had to run an errand."
"Is this about Kisame-san?" Itachi already had his suspicions.
Pein nodded. "Yes. He failed his last mission. he was killed by enemy Ninja, from Sunagakure. But he was needed as a distraction for Sasori-san to successfully carry out his mission. We have received word that Sasori-san's mission was successful, but Kisame... is dead."
He would have thought that Itachi would have been more concerned about his partner. They had been working together for a long time, but Itachi had always managed to keep himself from growing too attached to anyone. Especially someone as creepy as Kisame.
"Aren't you upset, Itachi-san?"
"Hn. No," His face was true to his word, showing no emotion at all. "He was only a partner in Akatsuki, someone I had to work with until we parted ways... But he can be easily replaced."
"I'm glad you feel that way, Itachi!" Pein seemed to perk up, making Konan giggle from her place at his side. Apparently she already knew what was coming. "Because I am assigning you a new partner, starting today. You will be partnered with Sasuke-san."
Sasuke spoke up, thinking of his new lover. "But what about Sakura-chan?"
"Ah yes... She will be assigned to help Ino-san, the blonde girl who is staying with Deidara. By the way, if anyone has any kind of cosmetic needs, see Konan-chan about it, and she will set you up with he Yamanaka girl. She used to run a beauty salon, you know."
"We know," Sasuke sighed irritably, along with his pink-haired companion. They were both not happy about being made to split up. Especially where Itachi was concerned.
"So... Does this mean that Ino-pig is my new partner?" Sakura asked.
"Yes. I'm sorry, but there was no one left to pair you with, my dear. But Konan-chan has been put in charge of you and Ino-san. You will now recieve orders from her."
They all bowed and left the room after being dismissed. Itachi simply went back to his room, without muttering another word to the other two. Sakura looked like she was almost ready to cry. Sasuke put a comforting arm around her waist, pulling her to him.
"Sorry to interrupt," Ino burst into the hallway from Deidara and Sasori's room. "Sakura-san, I was told to tell you that it's your next 'mission' to do Itachi's nails for him. Sorry, orders from Konan-san."
Sakura rolled her eyes and nodded, watching Ino disappear again. Sasuke nuzzled her neck lovingly. "This sucks..." She whined.
"It'll be alright. We'll just have to deal with it for now. Nii-san told me that things are always changing here. It'll only be a matter of time before they pair us up again. You'll see." With that being said, he moved away.
"I hope you're right... Where are you going?"
Sasuke slightly opened the door to Itachi's room for her to go in. "You heard Ino. You have to do his nails for him. It's an order... And I trust you, it'll be fine. I have to go and get our stuff that we left behind in the forest, remember? You could go, but you have an order from higher up, and I know where I put our things, you don't." He gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Stay strong for me." She nodded.
'And Ino-pig is not higher up!' Was her last coherent thought before walking into Itachi's room. She stopped abruptly at the sight before her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ino had found out that her assignment was to dye Konan's hair for her. It was practically impossible to dye it herself, and she knew Ino could do a much better job on it. Ino was almost angry at how much bigger Pein and Konan's room was than all of the other Akatsuki member's.
"My blue hair dye is on the sink," The woman smiled sweetly at her. Apparently this task would be fairly easy for her. Konan seemed like one of the only sane people here! "This shouldn't take long, and then you'll have the rest of the day to do whatever you want."
Ino was silent, and grabbed the bottle, as Konan sat in one of the kitchen chairs she had pulled into the bathroom. It was resting against the sink, and it was just the right height for her to lean her head back into the sink, so Ino could work with it. It was almost like a real salon. When the blonde girl still didn't say anything, Konan decided to break the silence.
"...Or whoever you want." She winked at the girl, while she was starting to wet her hair. Then Ino grabbed some cold cream, and began to spread it just past her hair line, to keep the dye from staining her face.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, I didn't mean any offense. Cheer up, dear. You're far too serious. Just like everyone else here..." Konan had to pause while Ino applied the dye. She didn't want to mess her up while doing that. "I only meant that I think Deidara-san likes you. He probably has a crush on you."
The older woman giggled mischieviously. She thought she saw a hint of a smile cross Ino's features, but it was quickly wiped away. The girl began to work the dye into her hair, letting it set while she took a break.
"I don't think so."
"No? Well I think you two would make a cute couple..."
"Can I ask you something, Konan-sama?" When the older lady nodded, she continued with her bold question. "Are you uhm... together with Pein-sama?"
"Well yeah. That's kind of obvious, isn't it?"
"I guess everyone has someone but me..."
"Don't let it get you down," Konan leaned back again, while Ino went to work washing the dye out of her hair. It had had enough time to set now. "I'm sure Deidara-san has a thing for you. And he's not that bad, is he?"
"No, I guess not..."
Konan was surprised at her reaction. Obviously this girl had some serious self-esteem issues.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A/N: I am not super-happy with this chapter, but I guess it's alright. I promise the next one will be better! And it should be longer too. I'm just now getting back into this story. And guess what?! This is pretty much the only one that I'm working on right now! Which is good, since it's my favorite anyway. I guess I tried to save the best for last, IDK. Anyway, hope you like this chapter. Major updates are on the way for this story, just hang in there! And next time, we find out what Sakura saw in Itachi's room that made her react that way! :D
