"Sakura Uchiha, you are now put under the supervision of Itachi Uchiha who will supervise your training. Welcome to the Akatsuki."

With that the gave a quick bow to her new 'Leader' and exited the room. Itachi was there waiting for her.

"You will be living in my quarters for now" He said turning away and heading down a corridor. She followed him looking down seeing that the carpet was blood red. She wondered if they were originally white, just stained with the blood of people. She was pulled out of her thoughts when Itachi suddenly stopped.

"This is our living quarters, we wont be here much though" said Itachi pushing the door open.

His room was dark, it seemed as if he lived in the dark. All of a sudden a light switched on. The walls were black and the furniture was black. The only think that wasn't black was the carpet. And it was such a dark red it too was almost black. Sakura looked down she decided to keep quiet.

"You can have the bedroom" Itachi said looking to her. It was the first time he actually took in her features. Her pink hair framed her pale porcelain face and her emerald green eyes stood out. She had a high forehead, but it only added onto her beauty. Her body was small yet she had curves that flowed . Of course, Itachi only saw her as another tool to be used during fighting. Itachi had no heart, it was lost long ago.

She followed him into the bedroom.

" The bathrooms right there" Itachi said pointing to another door inside the bedroom.

"You should shower, then get dressed in your new outfit" He said as he closed to the door to ' Her room' She looked to the clothes in her arms laying them out on the bed. A black body suit that was sleeveless a black fishnet top Akatsuki Cloak, ring, and hat. She fingered the material a minute or two before making her way to the bathroom.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. Long pink hair, dull green eyes, and pale skin that was covered in dirt. She looked to the shower and went through the different shampoo's. She looked at the bottles 'So he uses Sandalwood scented Shampoo' she said picking up the one that smelled like green tea. She turned on the faucet and made sure the water wasn't too hot or too cold then she took off her old dirty clothes, tossing them into the corner. She got into the shower enjoying the feeling of the warm water cleaning off all the dirt and mud off of her body. She washed her hair and climbed out wrapping a burgundy towel around her body. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned.

She looked around the room when she saw what she wanted. She picked up a kunai and went back into the bathroom. Then the Cut her pink locks short. Similar to what she looked like after the first chuunin exams. She brushed out all the cut hair and smiled. A new look for a new life.

She quickly got dressed leaving the hat behind. She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like a true Kunoichi. She looked around the room and ripped off a small black piece of cloth from the curtains and tied her hair back. She admired her work and opened the door. She found Itachi sitting on the couch, probably waiting for her to finish.

Without a word Itachi stood and began to make his way towards the door. Sakura followed.

"Here, I want you to strap these to your legs" Itachi said handing Sakura weights. She took the weights in her hands to find they were extremely heavy. She looked to him as if saying 'You want me to put THESE on!' but she complied anyways. She securely strapped the weights onto her ankles and followed Itachi.

'This is going to be a loooong day' She thought to herself

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sasuke ran with the scrolls securely attached to his back. The ANBU weren't far behind. He saw Shuuichi and quickly handed him the scrolls.

"Hurry, I'll take care of these guys" Sasuke said quickly and faced the opposite way of which Shuuichi was leaving with the scrolls.

"Sasuke Uchiha, if you come with us peacefully we wont have to resort to violence" An ANBU wearing a Tiger mask said.

Sasuke smirked and activated his sharigan.

"Lets go" Sasuke said in a monotone voice

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sakura landed on her knees panting.

"Get up" Came Itachi's monotone voice.

Sakura got up, slouching slightly. She wiped sweat off of her brow and started running at the tree again. She was practicing chakra control. Although she was perfect at it, the weights made it harder ten fold. When she felt she couldn't go anymore she struck the tree with her kunai, did a backflip and landed on the ground.

"Again" Itachi said "But this time just try walking.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sasuke was on his way back a hand securely placed around his shoulder. Blood covered his hand.

"Damn… those guys took way too long" Sasuke said through clenched teeth. He had made a clean escape though. He finally arrived at his destination making his way into Orochimaru's office.

"Sasuke-kun , your injured… Perhaps your weaker than I though hmmm?" Orochimaru said with a smirk, his yellow snake like eyes staring at the Dark haired boy before him

"Has Shuuichi arrived with the scrolls?" Sasuke asked immediately changing the subject

"Yes, he arrived a bit ago.. Anyways you are dismissed" Said Orochimaru turning to the scrolls they had stolen from Konoha. 'Learning more techniques…' Sasuke thought to himself. He then turned and walked out of the door.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sakura was exhausted. It took most of her concentration just to keep her eyes open.

"Enough for today" Itachi said glancing towards the setting sun

Sakura flopped back onto the grass and inhaled its scent. It smelled sweet. She could have fallen asleep here and now if Itachi hadn't been retreating back to the Akatsuki Headquarters. With the rest of her strength she pulled herself up to her feet and dragged herself along the small path that lead her to her new 'Home'. All of a sudden she spotted a Shadow out of her peripheral vision and just barely managed to dodge a kunai that was aim straight at her heart. It landed with a thud on the tree behind her.

'Just great' She thought ' My charka's pretty much depleted and I have no strength left after all that training…Damn' She thought as she sensed someone rushing at her from behind. She jumped to the side and got into a defending position.

"Good job.." a voiced echoed from behind her. She shuddered, she knew she had heard that voice somewhere

She turned around her eyes gazing into snake's eyes

"Orochimaru…" She said.

He nodded confirming her suspicions. She glared at him her eyes narrowing into slits.

"What do you want?" She asked Her voice was low but it held curoage.

"You" He said simply a smirk on his face.
