I do not own Naruto

When Kisame and Sakura got back, rain was pouring down to help stop the fire. Huge flames were circling the building. Everyone was busy using a water jutsu of some sort and slowly putting out the fire. Kyoneko and Takeo were working together to put out the fire with the cats chakra and the dog's magic one place that Sakura truly felt anger that was on fire was the small garden and the prized Sakura tree she always sat under. Both her and Kisame went to the garden and instantly made signs for a water dragon jutsu.

Everyone was running out of chakra quickly, Kyoneko was giving Sakura her own to support, and Pein couldn't help but stare at the black chakra that was going into the rosette's body and not rejecting it. He would have to ignore right now as the leader of the Akatsuki made it rain in the village more to put out the fire.

Takeo sat on the ground in the middle of everyone and started to distribute his chakra out to everyone there helping them put out the fire. The dog growled as he sensed unfamiliar chakras near them but stopped when the little red dragon appeared. Akito patted the dog on the head and grew, grew to where he was nowhere close to be little anymore, instead he was nearing 20 feet. But Akito was also the splitting image of Leventhan, the legend of the last dragon.

The dragon helped out; even though he looked like a fire type he knew water jutsu's. Both Sakura and Kisame looked in awe at its power; it had mostly put out most of the fire in one shot. His chakra danced around him and whipped out, hitting flames that caused it to disperse in the places that had the hotter flames. His long body straightened out as he started to spin really fast around the fire, the rain from Pein and the wind he was creating making the fire die. A dark chakra hit the members in a wave and gave the rosette shivers down her spine. Akito stopped what he was doing and floated up in the air, facing the way the chakra came from. The dragon roared and blasted himself to that way, leaving the almost dying fire to the Akatsuki members.

Both fire and wind licked the rosettes legs, arms and face as she continued to try and put out the ferocious fire, though Pein was still causing the rain and wind to keep the smoke at bay and Akito's attempt to put out the fire it kept getting into Sakura's lungs, making it hard to breathe, she tried to cough it out but no smoke or more air came; instead came the taste of copper and rust started to fill her mouth. She wished she wasn't having another attack as she was getting those a lot lately now and somehow felt the virus in her was spreading in her body making her sicker and closer to death.

When she cast a waterfall jutsu a wave of coughs escaped her body. Blood flew out of her mouth as she started to feel weaker but kept her ground to put the fire out. The rest of the members looked at her with worry clearly written on their faces. Kyoneko was straight at her side, so close that she was rubbing her leg with her fur. The demon cat looked up at her with the look of 'you know what will happen.' Sakura nodded her head and turned back to the almost dying fire. A soft pink glow started to come off Kyoneko's body and seep into the rosettes skin, making her lungs feel less on fire and getting her to breathe a little better even though she was still coughing out blood.

She felt the pain in her body starting to lessen to the point that it was just feeling numb to her but she didn't know why that her blood was still pouring out of her mouth. She had tried to research what virus she had in her body but was hard due to so many new illness showing up that they have never seen. With her time in the Akatsuki she had enough research material to look it up and before she had reached 6 months with them she found out what it is and then started to look for a cure.

The fire that was all around them started to finally die down as Takeo himself was starting to feel run down, the rosettes thoughts drifted to the mysterious dog, Sakura loves the dog to death, but he has the power to use pure fire and strength that not even Akamaru has. So no matter what end she gets to there are more to the dog then what meets the eye and the rosette wanted to learn more from him.

The fire finally died down, everyone was panting as chakra levels were low. Sakura and Kisame finished putting out the fire from the garden but even with Kisame as a water nature, the jutsu's took a lot out of him and from fighting an enemy not that long ago also. Sakura on the other hand was having trouble just staying awake and not passing out from losing so much blood this time.

After fighting it for a little bit, Sakura gave up and let her eyes droop to where her eyes finally closed. Her mind went blank; she couldn't think anymore and felt her body sway side to side. Everyone watched as she started to fall, Kisame being the closest one to her quickly caught her and gently pulled her so that her body was resting in his lap everyone quickly rushed to the two to make sure she was okay.Itachi was the first one there.

Her face was deathly pale as her chest raised and fell with every little breath. Kisame looked at Itachi who appeared worried. Kisame sighed and urged him to take her and put her in her room. Kyoneko was standing with the member with a passed out Takeo on her back. Itachi gently took Sakura from Kisame's arms and held her bridal style. Deidara went and helped Kyoneko who was having trouble putting the pup in his arms.

The two walked inside with the cat right behind them, straight to the rosettes room. Deidara opened the door with his wrist; Itachi and Kyoneko close behind him as the blonde set the dog down on the rug and the raven haired man put the woman on her bed. Kyoneko went to the rug and just fell down in a tired heap. Deidara sent a worried glance at the rosette before glaring at Itachi then exited the room closing the door behind him.

Itachi was at the side of the bed looking down at the rosettes sleeping form. He bent down and dipped his head to near Sakura's and planted a soft kiss on her lips. Concern was on his face as he looked at her pale face.

"Please, you can tell us what's wrong, please stop making me worry blossom."

I said I would see you again. So I have nothing to say but one thing.
