Hi! Thanks for the reviews. This is going to be a long chapter, and this is the chapter that it will tell you how they betrayed her. I hope you guys like it. I'm sorry if it has a lot of spelling mistakes.
I do not own Naruto or any of the characters of the series.

A never ending promise ch.4: Traitor
They left the temple and started their mission. Sakura was with Deidara. They both were riding in the giant bird. Sakura was wondering if it was a good idea to join the Akatsuki, but it was too late to regret it…even if she wanted to quit, it was impossible. Konoha, her home village, the place were she shared all her memories, the place were she has suffered the most. Sakura whispered: "Why?" Deidara: "Did ya' say something, un?" Sakura: "No, I'm sorry if I disturbed you" Deidara: "Are you ok? You seem a little down, un" Sakura didn't say anything. Deidara: "Konoha is your village, right? Just like Itachi's, un?" Sakura nodded. Deidara: "Is something worrying you, un?" Sakura: "I…" Sakura remembered what happened with her team once again. She wanted revenge; she wanted them to suffer what she has suffered. Deidara: "May I know what is troubling you, Sakura-san, un?" Sakura took a deep breath and said: "Yes, it all happened one week ago before you found me…"
Flashback
Sakura: "Sasuke-kun, wait for me!" Sasuke turned around: "Where's Naruto?" Sakura: "How would I know?" Kakashi appeared holding his book. Kakashi: "Sakura, I have to tell you something very important, Sasuke can you leave us alone for a moment?" Sasuke left. Sakura: "What is it Sensei?" Kakashi: "You know that your parents have been missing since their last mission right?" Sakura looked down; it has been 4 month since her parents started their mission to the sound village and have not returned. Kakashi: "Well, they have returned" Sakura: "What! Where are they? Are they ok!" Kakashi: "I…um, how to explain this. They are under a spelling jutsu" Sakura: "Spelling Jutsu? You mean they're possessed?" Kakashi: "Yes, they are under Orochimaru's hands, they refuse to tell us anything" Sakura could not belive what she was hearing, her parents, the incredible medical ninjas working for Orochimaru? Sakura was getting nervous: "Sensei, what are you planning to do with them?" Kakashi: "Well, they are under Tsuande's supervision, but I was called to pick you…maybe if they see their daughter's face they would return to normal" Sakura: "But isn't there any medical jutsu to cure them?" Kakashi: "I fear not, even Tsunade's life is in danger under the presence of your parents. Naruto is helping her so that your parents get out of control". Sakura: "Where are they!" Kakashi: "Calm down! Sakura go and get Sasuke and report to Tsuande's office, is that clear?" Sakura: "Yes" And with that she left in Sasuke's direction. Kakashi went to Tsunade's office to wait for the two chonin.
Sakura found Sasuke sitting on a tree. Sakura: "Sasuke, could you please come…is urgent" Sasuke came down and followed Sakura to Tsuande's office. When they entered Kakashi was waiting for them. Tsuanade was not there. Sakura: "Kakashi-sensei, where are my parents!" Kakashi: "Follow me" He opened a door that was hidden in one of the office's walls. There was a small room with two beds. In one bed was Sakura's mom and in the other one was Sakura's dad. Naruto and Tsunade were standing with a shuriken on their hands. Sasuke and Kakashi took one too. Sakura went near her mother and asked her: "Mom?" Her mother looked identical like the last time she saw Sakura, her father too. Her mother looked at Sakura and touched her face. Sakura smiled, but at the moment she let her guard down she took one of Sakura's shuriken and got out of her bed and pointed it at Tsunade, Naruto and the others were fast enough and stabbed their shuriken at Sakura's mom. Sakura stood still while looking at her mother bleed to death. The same process happened to her father. Team 7 had just killed her family.
End of Flashback
Deidara: "But wasn't there another way to save them, un?" Sakura: "I am sure there was, but they didn't think it twice, they just killed them…And I…I couldn't do anything"
Deidara wanted to hold her…to take away her pain, but he just stood still and said: "Listen, if you want I can help you with your revenge" Sakura: "Tank you, but I want to solve this by myself"
You were able to see the Hokage's heads from afar. Deidara descended and they met with Itachi and Kisame. Deidara made the bird disappear. They started walking all together. Sakura transformed into a longed-brown hair girl.
In Tsuande's office.
Tsuanade looked at the crystal ball that the 3th Hokage used to see things. She saw the Akatsuki approximating her village. She called for team 7 to stop them. Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke left the village in direction to where Sakura was.
Itachi: "Somebody is approaching" They stopped. Sakura was praying that it was not team 7 or anybody who was powerful enough to kill her. But luck was not on her side that day, tem 7 appeared, ready to fight her and her new team. She tried to act relaxed as she saw her former teammates. Kakashi and the others were in battle mode. Kakashi whispered to Naruto and Sasuke: "I'll take Itachi and Kisame, you take the girl and the Deidara, watch your backs, she is a new member" They nodded. Itachi, Kisame and Kakashi left to another area to start their fight.
Sakura and Deidara stood still while Naruto ran to hit Sakura in her face. She jumped back making Naruto fall on his nose. Sasuke tried to use his Katon technique against Deidara, but he blocked it with no hesitation. The fight continued with the same jutsus of Naruto, and Sasuke trying to get Deidara, because he was stronger compared to Sakura. Sakura was reaching her limit with her transformation. If this fight doesn't get over soon, they will know her real identity.
Kakashi was having difficulties with the Uchiha. His mangekyo sharingan was a torture to Kakashi. Kisame was just standing there waiting until Itachi was finished with his trick.
Meanwhile Sakura was about to transform into her usual self, but just in time Deidara hit both Naruto and Sasuke so that they won't see her. She escaped as fast as she could to the deep forest. Yes, it looked simple enough, but Sasuke and Naruto knew Sakura's chakra very well when she was in her usual form, so they noticed at the moment she transformed that Sakura was near by.
Naruto: "What do we do Sasuke!" Sasuke thought for a minute, should they continue to fight with the Akatsuki or go and get Sakura back. Sasuke: "I'll take them, you go and get Sakura!" Naruto: "Right" And he left in direction where Sakura was. Sakura noticed that someone was following her so she hurried up more, but where should she go? Not the Akatsuki temple and of course not Konoha. The kunoichi was unsure of what she should do at that moment. Should she show her face to Naruto, and quit the Akatsuki, or ask for help? Either one she chose, she had no home to return to. No family, no friends. Everything was taking away from her. And it is all the fault of team 7… With that on her mind she stopped and waited until Naruto found her. She was going to take revenge.
Naruto stopped when he saw the pink haired girl. In the beginning he just saw her face. Her expression was the same as Sasuke went he saw his brother: Hate. He was about to say something, but he frizzed when he saw her clothes. Naruto: "Sa...ku…ra…chan? What are you wearing?" Naruto could not belive that the girl he felt in love with was waring an Akatsuki dress. The sweet, intelligent kunoichi has become and Akatsuki because of the incident with her parents? It was his entire fault.
Sakura: "Hello Naruto, long time no see…" Naruto: "Why are you like this? Why are you wearing that!" Sakura: "Oh…I, as you can see, have joined the Akatsuki…and just for one reason: Revenge!" Sakura took a shuriken and tried to stab Naruto with it. Naruto was fast enough to get out of the way. And with that, their battle had begun.
Deidara was worried about Sakura, he tried to get rid of the Uchiha, but as expected he was a rough opponent. He took out his bird and flew in the direction where he sensed Sakura's chakra. Sasuke followed him by the ground.
When Sasuke arrived he saw the scene of Naruto and Akatsuki's Sakura fighting. Sasuke: "What the heck is happening here!" Sakura and Naruto stopped. Sakura was in a shock. Her beloved Sasuke was right there, and she knew what he was going to say, or rather shout: "How could you have joined the same organization as my brother!" And so he did. Sakura: "But what about you! You were going to join with Orochimaru! If Naruto was not able to stop you, who knows what would have happened!" Sasuke: "That doesn't mean anything! You are a traitor to our village!" Sakura was already bursting into tears.
Sakura continued to fight. Both of them realized that Sakura was holding back. She didn't want to kill them, but her heart ached so much…she wanted to stop the pain. She wanted to stop herself of returning to Konoha. When both of the males were in the ground, completely beaten, Sakura took another shuriken and jumped over them. She stayed there with her knife-style weapon pointed at the boys. Her tears were falling over the boys cheeks. Sakura: "I (sob) can't!" She stood up and waited until Deidara appeared. She sat over the bird and left.
Deidara: "Sakura, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Sakura just kept on crying silently. Deidara couldn't stand it anymore. He went and hugged Sakura. He had been waiting for that moment ever since she saw her, he wanted to hold her in his arms forever.
Sakura calmed down. She was completely embarrassed on what Deidara was doing, but she also was enjoying herself. They searched for Kisame and Itachi from the air. It was taking so long that Sakura felt asleep in Deidara's arm. After that, Sakura didn't remember anything. Her journey has just begun…and maybe, a new love will bloom.
To be continued…
In the next chapter: A never ending promise: I love you
