"Uchiha," the voice of their leader echoed throughout the dark shadows, "Why did you bring a weak kunoichi into our headquarters? She has no business being here."
Itachi sat on the chair in the meeting room calmly. He then replied, "She may be useful to us." That statement only brought laughter in the room.
"Useful?" Deidara cackled, "For YOU maybe, but not us! She's frail and weak. How can you think of her as useful?"
Kisame turned to Itachi and murmured, "I'll have to agree with them on this one."
Itachi stood up and began to explain his dark plans. "Her hatred. As the Akatsuki, we should all know that our power comes from one scource: hatred. I have replaced the kunoichi's memories with ones that I created; made to bring anger and hatred. Her hatred will probably outgrow all of ours combined, so we must be careful when she awakens from her painful slumber. All she'll ever know is me being someone whom she looks up to, and that her 'friends' are her enemies."
Their leader's eyes seemed to glint in the darkness. "Very good Uchiha," he hummed, "When she awakens, I will put her with you and Kisame. You two will teach her how to fight and spy as an Akatsuki member. When she has mastered all that needs to be learned, bring here to headquarters and we shall see if the student surpasses the teacher."
Itachi sat down and the meeting room was full of murmurs.
Meanwhile, Sakura rolled and tossed in Itachi's bed, and was sweating madly. "N..no," she mumbled in her sleep, "Go away." She was dreaming of the memories Itachi gave her.
Dream:
Eight year old Sakura fell down on the mud puddle and looked up at the people who pushed her.
"Na na forehead girl!" they chanted. They were Ino, Naruto, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Rock Lee, Temari, and Hinata, exept Hinata only giggled. They all took out kunai and shuriken and threw them at the crying Sakura.
Pain shot through Sakura's body. She screamed and collapsed into the mud puddle again. "Please stop it!" she pleaded, "I'm begging you!"
She looked to her right and saw Gaara standing there looking at her. "Help me!" she cried, "Please! Make them stop, it hurts!"
Gaara remained still. Bam! He shot his sand at Sakura and covered her with it until she was a mound. "Desert Coffin," he hissed. He closed his hand.
Sakura cried out in pain as the sand crushed her.
End of Dream.
Sakura gasped and sat up panting. She looked around and saw Itachi sitting on a chair looking at her coldly. "Itachi!" she squeaked, "I just had a nightmare." She huddled herself.
Excellent. It worked. Itachi nodded and said, "They weren't nightmares, Sakura." Wow. I called her by her name. Sakura looked at him with a confused expression. "You were starting to remember your past."
"But then...," Sakura started, "That means that...my nightmares were my memories?" She sadly looked at him. "That means that they're all real." Itachi nodded...again. "Life is cruel..."
Itachi hid a smirk and said, "Yes. Indeed it is. And you will continue to have these nightmares for a week."
Sakura's eyes widened in horror and she screamed, "No! Make them stop! I only need one day to know I HATE them!" She placed her head in her hands and cried.
"Sakura," Itachi whispered, "One day you say?"
"Yes. One day."
"Then look into my eyes."
Sakura lifted her head and looked into Itachi's eyes like she was told and gasped. "What's going on?" His sharingan started to spin and so did the room.
"I'm granting your wish. You'll have your hatred all in one day."
Sakura was pulled into a world of darkness and was all alone. There, she watched her 'past' play before her in the shadows. In the ouside world, she was in a small koma, but would awaken within a day.
Itachi left his room and closed the door. She sleeps a lot, but they're all my doing. He snickered to himself and went to find their leader.
One day later...
The Akatsuki were in the meeting room discussing about Itachi, Kisame, and Sakura's new lair when the door slammed open. All of the members turned their attentionswest and saw a pain-filled sakura standing by the door, glaring.
"Itachi," she hissed, "Where are these people?" The Akatsuki were starting to get excited now. "I wanna kill them for what they've done. Now where are they?"
"Sakura," Itachi muttered, hiding a chuckle, "We're in the middle of a meeting and you're interrupting."
"I don't care," came Sakura's venomous reply, "I want blood from them, on my hands!"
Itachi looked up at his leader.
His leader nodded.
Itachi got up and walked up to Sakura and handed her a bundle of something. "What's this?" Sakura questioned angrily.
"Clothes," Itachi replied coolly, "Put them on and then we'll talk."
Sakura sent him a cold glare and snatched away the bundle. "We'd better." She huffed and exited the room.
"I see your plan was a success," the leader snickered, "Well done. Now, train her well."
Itachi and Kisame nodded. This is going to be tough.
Author's Note: I wonder how Sakura will look like in her new clothes. Hmm...
