Chapter Twenty Eight
When I arrived at the gates I was met with the faces of all my friends. Teams Gai, Kurenai, Asuma and Kakashi were there with Shinzune, Tsunade and, for some odd reason, the Sai boy. I had found that the name written in my journal wasn't 'Sai' and even if it was, he wasn't the one it spoke of. We weren't even that close. Naruto and Sasuke had betrayal written all over their faces while the others had a mix of sorrow, worry and question. 'Kakashi told them.'
"S-Sakura-chan? Is that really you?" Ino asked shakily. I nodded slowly. Deidara was getting nervous of being around so many of the enemies ninja during a break-out attempt. "W-Why did you g-go? Why d-didn't you s-stay with u-us?" She was beginning to cry and it was crushing the wall of in-difference that I had built up over the years of killing.
"Konoha is weak. I am strong. We don't match any more. I'm sorry Ino." I apologised falsely. I wasn't sorry at all.
"Sakura-san, why didn't you just tell us who you were when we came to the base?" Neji enquired.
"So Kinikura is Kini-chan but I'm still Sakura-san?" I joked lightly. The stern look on his face told me that now was the time to be serious and I pulled myself together. "I didn't tell you because…" I trailed off thinking, and then finished my answer with a smirk. "You never asked." I stated simply.
"Sakura-chan, why did you betray us?" Naruto asked quietly. I had no answer. I wanted to run to him and hug him while apologising for my stupid mistake of running away. It's a well know fact that I never do what I want. I always do what I need. I gave Naruto a truly sorry look and gazed at my siblings.
"Hold on to me or Deidara." I whispered to them. Deidara seemed to know what I was talking about and held his arms out for tow of them to hold. The twins went to Deidara, since he was the closest, and I held the other two. Some of the shinobi gave me a questioned look but most looked upset that I would leave them without an explanation again.
"Sakura, please-" Tsunade's words were ended by a cloud of cherry blossom petals and smoke filling the air. Kakashi smiled as the pink flowers floated to the ground and disappeared. Sasuke looked at his sensei in question before realising something. Pink.
Deidara and I had Poofed the kids into the forest a few meters from our base. If we didn't poof right here then Tsunade could send someone to follow us and discover the location of our base that Sasori had accidentally removed from the minds of the spies. The door was shut and locked but that was no problem for me and Deidara. We had the ability to use a small cut of metal to magically open the door and- 'We had keys.' 'Way to go and ruin the mood.' I took out my key and opened the door, allowing my siblings and Deidara to enter first.
"I'M HOME, YEAH!" Deidara yelled. He got a few uninterested grunts in reply. "I feel so loved, yeah." He mumbled. "I BROUGHT SAKURA BACK WITH ME! YEAH!" He yelled again. This time the base members all came running to greet us and I smiled softly at their reactions. Itachi was the first to notice the kids but kept quiet and politely waited for me to explain the reason I brought minors to the base.
"Who are the midgets?" He asked. 'Or not.' 'You really need to stop imagining what you want to happen-' '-And think about what's actually happening'
"They are my siblings. The eldest is Karene. The twins are Tyiko, the grey eyed one, and Ryiko, the blue eyes one. The little girl is Terrane, she's the youngest." I explained to the Sharingan user. Kisame grinned at the prospect of scaring the little girl just as he had scared me before I got to know him better. He walked over to her and looked down at the small child by his feet. She just barley reached past his knee and was shaking with fear at his size and appearance.
"Boo." He said. Terrane squeaked and ran to hide behind the closest person, other than Kisame, who just happened to be Itachi. He looked down on her as well and she backed away. I motioned for her to come over to me and she did so, mostly to get away from the scariest members at the base. I glared at Kisame and Itachi and they responded by staring at the twins, who were chasing Deidara around with a pair of scissors, trying to give him a hair-cut.
"Itachi, I expect that kind of behaviour from Kisame but you should know better than to scare Terrane like that." I told him. He rolled his crimson eyes at my statement and my purple and silver ones burned back.
"I didn't try to scare her. All I did was look down at her." He said.
"You're way taller. It scared me to have tall people look down at me when I was her age."
"You weren't meant to be suitable for the Akatsuki when you where her age."
"Oh, go glare at a lamp!" I yelled back at him.
"MAYBE I WILL!" He hollered back and left to do just that.
I rolled my eyes when, no even five minuets later, a smashing sound came from the room Itachi had stalked into and he came back to look for a replacement light bulb. After he had fixed the light I went into the room and saw him yelling at the new bulb.
"YOUR MOTHER WAS SO UGLY SHE BROKE A MIRROR!" He yelled to the inanimate object.
…
"AT LEAST I'M NOT ROUND!"
…
"WHAT? GOT NOTHING TO SAY?"
…
"HA! I KNEW IT! YOU'RE A LIGHT BULB!"
"I WIN! I WIN! YOU'RE A LIGHT BULB, I'M A HUMAN!" He sang loudly.
"Itachi, what are you doing?" I asked. I was a little scared by his sad attempt at singing when we learned, long ago, that he is completely tone deaf.
"Sakura-chan! Your twin brothers are trying to ruin my perfect hair!"
"No we're not you big, girly baby!"
"All we're doing is… YES WE ARE GOING TO CUT YOUR HAIR! NOW GET BACK HERE!"
"BOO!"
"Aaaaaagggggggghhhhhhh! Sakura-chan! Your little sister scared me!"
"Serves you right fish lips!"
"Who are you calling fish lips, Puppet boy?!"
"Who are you calling Puppet boy, Man-who-glares-and-sings-at-light-bulbs!"
"You are terrible at name calling."
"At least I'm not a man who washes his hair with 'Scent of Lavender' shampoo and conditioner!"
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"
"NEVER!"
"PUPPET BOY!"
"I USED YOUR TOOTHBRUSH TO CLEAN THE TOILET YESTERDAY!"
"OH NO YOU DIDN'T!"
"OH YES I DID!"
"NU UH!"
"YEA HU!"
"OH DON'T YOU 'YEA HU' MY 'NU UH'!"
This is going to be weirder than usual.
