I would like to thank CeceUchiha for telling me that Senpai is for guys, and Sempai is for girls. YAY!

And ONE MORE THING, I just realized how much stupid I was when I woke up, In my other story, 'Vermillion' , I had ACCIDENTALLY written heir for heiress, well, their difference is so obvious. I'm so stupid. I just realized my mistakes today...T.T

"How nostalgic..." Sakura stifled a sob. Tobi turned his head towards to the right to see her sempai, "Where does Sakura-sempai want to go now?" Sakura's eyes scanned the whole village cautiously, "I don't know Tobi..." She blinked, "It's already been two months since I had been gone..."

She looked at Tobi (the both of them wore their Akatsuki uniform, except for the hat. Tobi can't wear the 'outfit'...no duh.) "Maybe...We should go to Tsunade shishou for now..." Tobi nodded his head dumbly.

She hopped towards the tower, as much as inconspicuous as possible, while he silently followed behind.

Several miles away...

"Kisame. Go get some food, I will stay behind." Itachi commanded emotionlessly while staring at a cherry blossom tree. His partner gave an annoyed huff before he was gone.

Itachi looked at the tree, examining it very carefully. A single petal fell from his hand before closing his fist around the object very gently. When he opened it, his eyes narrowed; It was shattered to pieces. How odd, he mulled silently. He remembered that he did not exert enough force to break it.

The petal flew from his hand, the pieces going around in different directions. He stared at the tree quietly.

'Sakura...'

Sakura stood up from a tree, looking through the window towards the Hokage tower. She smiled sadly. There was Tsunade again, signing tons of papers while Shizune gave her more. 'Nothing much had changed when I was gone...'

"Tobi." Sakura called out, "Enjoy yourself in this village for a while...just use some transformation jutsu or whatever. Make sure that you don't get caught, alright?" She smiled at him goofily before he jumped away excitedly. When Shizune was gone, she entered the window silently and patted her Shishou on the shoulder. She didn't even use a transformation jutsu, because she knew she won't need it.

"Shishou."

Tsunade jumped in surprise before lazily turning her head towards her right, "Oh...It's you Sakura. What do you need?" Sakura gave her a light chuckle before walking towards the front of her desk.

"SAKURA!!" yelled Tsunade, realizing something before standing up and giving her long lost apprentice a tight embrace, "Where the hell have you been? It's already been two months and you're not sending me anything! Do you know how much you got me worried?!"

Sakura wheezed, "T-Tsunade-Shishou, c-can't b-breathe!" Tsunade gave her a funny look before letting her go and sitting on her chair. Sakura inhaled the air of her life, hard. After that, she gave her shishou a stern look, "Tsunade-shishou." She began, getting straight to the point, "I'm sorry about worrying you but...I'm joining Akatsuki...for real."

Tsunade calmly raised a questioning brow, "Are you out of your mind, Sakura? Do you know what kind of trouble you're getting yourself at?" Tsunade folded her hands, "I just gave you a mission, and you're already joining?"

"I killed Naruto, Tsunade-shishou. And I know there's no going back."

Tsunade slammed her hands on her desk, "What DID you say?" Sakura glared at her, "I had participated in the extraction process, Shishou. I had killed him."

The Godaime frowned at her, "But...why did you do that, Sakura? You can't kill him. He's your best friend, remember? And why would you join Akatsuki for that single reason and turn sides against us?" Tsunade stated sadly, "Why, Sakura?"

Sakura stared at the floor before smiling at it.

"That's because...I fell in love..."

Tsunade froze, "With whom?"

"Sasuke's brother..."

Her shishou stared at her sadly; the room for silent for a few minutes. "...Is that really your choice?" She gritted her teeth, "You could still back down, Sakura! Make your choice! You won't betray us!"

Sakura shook her head defiantly, "No. I won't go back anymore, Shishou."

Tsunade glared at her, "If that is your choice." She paused, "From now on you, Haruno Sakura, are no longer my apprentice, a Konoha shinobi, and neither you belong to this village. You are an enemy." Sakura felt tears in her eyes but refused to let them fall.

"Yamato. Kakashi. Sasuke!" The Hokage called out angrily. In a few seconds the three of them were there. Yamato and Kakashi were restraining Tobi while Sasuke held a Katana against her neck. "Tobi! What did I tell you!?" She hissed. "Tobi was sensed by two ninjas even he transformed!" He wailed, "Tobi did nothing wrong!"

'Shit!' She cursed, 'Kakashi-sensei was able to sense jutsus like that! I should have been more careful.' She turned her attention to her ex-mentor, "What is the meaning of this Shishou? Why is Sasuke here?!" Sasuke held her arms towards her back with his other hand.

"Sasuke had returned, Sakura. If you were only here, then he might have accepted you. But that's too late now. You are an Akatsuki member!"

She felt Sasuke snort towards her back, pulling the katana closer to her neck, "I had already forgiven my brother. However, we still have to fight towards who will win you." He whispered in her ear, "You will be mine, my cherry blossom."

Sakura hissed, "Never!"

Tsunade yelled, "The both of them will be executed for a few days. Put them where they belong for now!" Sakura gritted her teeth when Kakashi spoke, "...You had been my student, Sakura. It had been a shame..."

A single tear made its way towards her cheek before she glared at all of them, "MY STUDENT!? What the hell! You never had trained me well, Kakashi! I was the least you like and you obviously imply that I am weak! It's like you never cared at all!" She yelled, "And also you, Tsunade! You've never really thought of me as an apprentice. You've only want to use me!"

She forcefully led her hand out of the Uchiha's grasp, but to no avail, "And...Even...Naruto as well...All of you had called me weak...!" Sasuke's katana shallowly sliced her neck, "I'll never forgive you!"

"Take them out!"

Sasuke knocked Sakura unconscious by hitting the back of her neck, and Kakashi had used his sharingan on Tobi making him limp. Tsunade turned around, not wanting to see her ex-student's suffering. She heard a loud bang of the door signifying that they were all out.

'I'm sorry, Sakura. But this is for the village. We had to eliminate anyone on the way.' She sat on the chair, "Even it meant killing you myself."

Kisame ravaged the fish that he had caught a few minutes ago. He stopped before looking at his now-over-silent partner who was just staring lifelessly at the fish. "W-Wh-at's w-wron-g? I-I-Itachi-s-shan?"

Itachi threw the fish to the Shark-nin before he stood up. "Kisame, you will finish this mission. I'm going back to see if Sakura hadn't escaped." Kisame raised an 'eyebrow'. "Why? You're worried about that kunoichi?"

"Hn."

"Can I have this fish?"

Itachi turned around, "If you only completed this mission, you may."

"Fine. See you then."

"Hn."

A/N: Oh no, Sakura had been captured, and Itachi is...worried about her? –gasp—what will happen!? Oh wait, I know what will happen.

I am really so stupid for mistaking an heir for an heiress T.T --bashes her head on the keyboard-- how could I? It's so simple! Thanks again for CeceUchiha for correcting me. :D

REVIEW!! (And thank you for the reviews and the people who voted on my poll! :D)
