Sorry for taking too long…and if there are too many grammar errors.
By the way…the story is going to be a little different as the other ones, but I'll put a bonus chapter so that you guys know what happened between chapter 4 and 5(in other words, how Itachi and Kisame started to being nice to Sakura)
A never ending promise, chapter 5: I love you
"Phew, we are finally here", said Kisame while putting his "sword" down. It has been 4 month since group "Itakisasakudei" fought against team 7. Sakura has been very busy since then, after the accident more Akatsuki has been wounded. Even the leader, which Sakura would have never thought to get wounded, was in coma. When the leader woke up three days ago, he asked Itachi and Kisame to take Deidara and Sakura to the Cloud Village to investigate more about Orochimaru. The trip to the Cloud Village was very long, if they wanted to go there in time they had to at least spend about 4 days walking without any stops. Deidara offered them that half of the trip could be flying and the other half walking. All accepted.
All of them transformed into some ordinary travelers and starting searching for a Hotel to stay at night. Itachi was with Sakura in the reception trying to convince the manager that they were brothers and sister. The manager was an old guy who couldn't accept to Sakura to sleep with 3 men, who didn't look like her. Deidara came into the conversation and said with a deep voice: "Sir, we might not look alike, because our mothers are different, and-sir-she's my fiancé, un" Sakura was red as hell. Itachi looked at Deidara with an angry face, while Kisame went there and started to look at Deidara with a jealous grin. The manager: "I didn't recall that fact, aren't you all brothers and sister?" Kisame: "Umm, is just that because this lady here is really embarrassed to say that she is engaged in such a young age, isn't that right Sakura-chan?" Sakura nodded. Manger: "Ohhh, so you guys pretend to be brothers?" Deidara: "Yep" The manager finally agreed to let them stay.
When they entered the room, there were two queen-sized beds, a lamp and a bathroom. Itachi and Kisame were angry at Deidara for what he said earlier, of Sakura being his fiancé. Sakura transformed back into her normal body and sat down into one of the beds. Sakura: "Uhmm, so what exactly should we do now?" Itachi: "First of all, with who are you going to share beds with, Sakura-chan?" All of the three guys were anxious to scream "with me" but they all stayed quiet, waiting for Sakura to say an answer. Sakura just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter; I'll just sleep in the floor…" "No!" screamed all of them at once. Sakura perplexed said: "Uhmm, then why don't you guys chose? I don't really care, we are all teammates right?" Deidara: "I guess it's better if it's with me because I said that I am your fiancé, un" Itachi: "But what will happen if you accidentally touch Sakura with your cursed hands?" Deidara completely red: "Why would I touch her! I'm not an old pervert like Kisame!" Kisame: "Hey! For your information I don't plan to do anything to Sakura!" They all argued until Sakura finally felt asleep. They stopped so that she could sleep in harmony. In the end all of them sat down in her bed looking at her peaceful expression. All of the Akatsuki members started to feel something for Sakura, even Sasori, she was like an angel that cured their pain, she was the only girl who has been accepted as an Akatsuki, and she even accepts all of them as who they really are. At the beginning of course she was scared of being surrounded by killers, but when they finally got to know her, they all felt warmth inside their broken souls.
They all felt asleep holding her, Kisame was holding her left hand, Itachi her right, and Deidara was hugging her from her waist.
At the next day, Sakura almost screamed while seeing at the men sleeping in the same bed and holding her just like a teddy bear. "Uhmm, guys? Could you get off me?" said Sakura with a soft voice, trying to wake them up. Deidara half asleep: "Is it time for school yet, mom?" Sakura was struggling to get out of the bed, but they were holding her so tight. Finally Sakura screamed: "Get off me now!" All of them woke up with a jump, and fell off the bed, with their faces as red as a tomato. Sakura: "I, uhmm, sorry" She just smiled at them. Itachi stood up and said with a calm voice: "Sakura-chan…we are sorry for being so…uhmm, 'perverted', but it's all Deidara's fault" Deidara: "Hey! What the heck are you talking about, un!" Kisame just stood up and tried to get away from the fight as fast as he could. Sakura sighed. Itachi and Deidara fought for the whole morning. Their fights were so similar to Naruto and Sasuke's. And by watching at Itachi, who looked just like Souske, and Deidara, with blond hair just like Naruto, Sakura thought that nothing really changed…but deep down she forced herself to think that way.
Itachi and Kisame were searching for more information about Orochimaru in the town, while Sakura and Deidara were buying supplies in a near by town for their trip back. Deidara was enjoying their time alone, and tried to get Sakura into a more in "depth" conversation. But Sakura was just like acting like a kid while watching all the new kinds of food there was. Deidara has been preparing for the day that he could tell Sakura what he really felt, but would she accept him? Would she just laugh…or say that killers can't love?
Deidara asked Sakura if they could meet after she returned to the apartment to leave the supplies. He asked her to dress up as if she was going on a date. While she was searching for a right kimono she blushed while thinking what kinds of things would he do…or say.
Meanwhile Deidara was practicing his speech: "I…uhmmm, Sakura…I, you know, I "heart" you, un" Deidara blushed like crazy and yelled: "Arggg…I can't do this"
Sakura dressed up with a white kimono with red roses and a light blue Obi. She came out of the apartment and Deidara looked at her and blushed. Deidara hold Sakura's hand and started walking together. Deidara whispered: "You look cute, un" Sakura blushed and shook her head slowly and said: "Thanks, so…uhmmm, what did you want to tell me?"
Deidara: "Wait, I wanna show you something first, un"
They were flying to the mountain with Deidara's bird; Deidara didn't have enough chakra so they had to walk the rest of the mountain. They walked for about a half an hour, without letting their hands go. When they arrived it was already night. The moon was full and there were so many starts that it was a bright as the day. They stared at the stars for a while, and then Deidara stood up and took a flower out of his pocket, and gave it to Sakura. He smiled and said: "A flower for a beautiful flower" Sakura blushed while she hold the flower. Sakura stood up and smiled. Deidara: "Beautiful night, huh?" Sakura: "Yeah" Deidara took a deep breath… "I love you" Sakura blushed: "What?" Deidara: "I…un, LOVE YOU!" Sakura smiled but tears suddenly started to flow out of her eyes. Deidara: "I, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to…" Sakura: "Is not that, Deidara-kun, is just that…what exactly should I do? I do love you…more than anybody I have ever loved anybody before…but, what now?" Deidara: "What do you mean with what now, un?" Sakura: "We're Akatsuki now, we shouldn't…I'm not sure if we would be able to live…like, you know, a "couple" Deidara thought for a second…she was right, they couldn't show their love in front of them. Deidara hold her hands: "Then lets do a promise…a unbreakable promise"
To be continued…
A never ending promise: Chapter 6: "Closed by a kiss"
Sakura and Deidara finally accept their feelings for each other, but their love cannot be…Sakura finds the Akatsuki's dark secret. Deidara and Sakura make a promise…but what exactly is going to be?
Ha! I updated…I'm sorry for taking to long, but I had too many tests and projects, and I also was sick… so sorry, that is why I also made a bonus chapter.
BONUS! HA! A BoNuS sToRy
The feelings of the "red moon"
In Deidara's case: This takes place right after Sakura and the others fought with team 7. They arrived at the Akatsuki hideout. Sakura was in her new room. Sakura and Deidara didn't share a room anymore. Itachi and Kisame went to report how the mission went to the leader. Deidara was collecting all Sakura's stuff that was left in his room.
Sakura: "Deidara-kun, I'm sorry…" Deidara: "For what?" Sakura: "For all the trouble that you've gotten into because of me…" Deidara smiled and said calmly: "Look, is not your fault…and besides a real artist wouldn't mind right? Un" Sakura started to put all her medical books that were in the floor back to the shelves in the wall. Deidara looked at the wall in Sakura's room. Deidara: "You know your room needs more…color? Yes! I know what would be perfect for that wall right there, wait here, un" Deidara run away very exited. Deidara returned with 2 "painting" in his hands. One of them was about a cherry blossom in a typical Japanese garden in a gray day. The other one was blank. Deidara: "I'm gonna fulfill my promise now Sakura-chan! Un" Sakura: "Huh?" Deidara took one chair and put in the middle of the room in front of a window that showed the enormous garden of the temple. Deidara: "Ok, Sakura-chan, put on your favorite kimono, then sit down in the chair right there, I'll wait outside, un" Sakura opened her closet and took a white kimono with some green spots, and a very dark blue obi. She changed as fast as she could. Sakura opened the door so that Deidara could come in. Deidara was petrified when he saw the pink-hair girl with that kimono. Deidara (thinking): "Wow, she looks just like a princess" Sakura sat down in the chair. Deidara walked slowly to the board to start painting the portrait of Sakura. After 2 hours Deidara was finished, and then he put the painting in the wall, after that he put the other painting in the other side of the room. Deidara: "Sigh, there…that looks much better, un" Sakura looked at her painting, it was as perfect as a picture…but it had something different in it, it showed inner beauty, was that how Deidara pictured her? Was that how he sees her in his eyes? Sakura turned around and smiled: "Deidara-kun, thank you!"
In Itachi's case: It was a cold morning…it reminded him the day he last saw his mother and father. Itachi and Kisame went out to buy food for the Akatsuki. Kisame: "What do they think we are? Maids? That is why that Sakura girl is in the Akatsuki, right? Why doesn't she buy the food?" Itachi: "Kisame-kun, she always does" Kisame: "Then why are we doing it today?" Itachi didn't answer. They walked to a nearby village. They transformed into normal travelers and went to the supermarket. They bought all the ingredients that they needed for the month and returned to the temple. Kisame went to his room and left Itachi with the food. He went to the kitchen to leave it there. Sakura was there cooking. Itachi: "I'll leave the stuff there" Sakura turned around surprised. Sakura: "You scared me!" Itachi left. Sakura run after him. Itachi turned around surprised. Itachi: "What do you want?" Sakura: "Do you know how to cook?" Itachi: "What?" Sakura: "I need help with something" Itachi followed her to the kitchen. She showed him the recipe and asked him: "What do they mean with 'put the pot in the oven and wait 4 minutes until it boils, then put 3 eggs into the pot and then add 2 of your chakra so that it stays together. Wait another 4 minutes then put it on a rock and….' What do you have to do?"
Itachi: "I…let me do it" He took the pot away and did exactly what the book was telling him to do. He finished 2 minutes before. Sakura bowed showing her appreciation. Sakura: "I think there will be leftovers, want to eat some of it?" Itachi looked at her and slightly nodded. Sakura took 2 plates and served a little bit of the "soup". They sat down outside to eat the thing. Both of them were really quiet. Sakura was observing Itachi of how he looked like Sasuke and blushed a little. Itachi sensed that she was looking at him. Itachi: "What? Do I have something in my face?" Sakura: "No, is just that you look a lot like Sasuke-kun" Itachi: "You know my brother?" Sakura: "Yes, he was my teammate back in Konoha" Itachi was surprised, then she did knew him before she entered the Akatsuki. Itachi: "So, uhmmm…is he still thinking to 'take revenge' for what I…did?" Sakura nodded. Itachi looked down and ate a bit of the soup. Sakura: "Itachi-san? Are you alright?" Itachi looked at her; she was beautiful, much cuter than any other girl he had ever met. Itachi: "I…I didn't want to kill my clan" Inner Sakura: "Yeah…Right! Liar" Sakura: "Then why did you do it?" Itachi: "I didn't have an option…and when I confronted my brother, I felt so stupid when I said the most idiotically reason of why I killed my family: To measure my 'container'. Ha! Who am I kidding? I was also forced to kill my brother, but when I saw him I…I just couldn't. And I made a horrible mistake"
Sakura: "You mean that you want to kill him!" Itachi: "No, but it would have been better…because now he is forced to live with the pain…and also being targeted by Orochimaru" Sakura: "I'm sorry, I misunderstand you" Itachi smiled, for the first time in many years. Sakura blushed, he looked so handsome. Itachi: "No, thank you…I don't know what happened to me but I actually feel comfortable enough around you that I told you what I really feel. You are the only person alive that I have told this" Sakura: "Itachi-san…" Itachi: "No, call me Itachi-kun, alright Sakura-chan?"
In Kisame's case: The shark boy was looking for his partner in the woods of a nearby town. He went on another "useless" mission with Itachi and Sakura. Kisame thought that every single mission were they had to buy stuff in another town was useless. And Itachi was being too "nice" to the kunoichi. Kisame felt left out. Well, it wasn't as if it was the first time he felt like that. Kisame saw Sakura far away. He screamed: "YOU!" so that she would turn around and wait for him. Sakura stopped and waited until Kisame was there. Kisame: "Have you seen Itachi-san?" Sakura: "No, but could you please call me by my name?" Kisame didn't put attention to her; he continued to walk in search for Itachi. Sakura: "Did you buy the stuff that you were supposed to?" Kisame: "What was it again?" Sakura sighed. Sakura: "Well, I think the best thing to do now is wait until Itachi-kun returns" She sat down. Kisame did so as well. Sakura: "So, Kisame-san, may I ask why you joined the Akatsuki?" Kisame looked at her. Kisame: "I guess…but you have to tell me first" Sakura told the story of how team 7 killed her parents. Kisame: "I guess that's a good reason, I can't believe that Itachi-san's brother was your teammate" Sakura: "Well, now you tell me why you joined" Kisame: "Hmmm, I thought I belonged here, you know. I had almost the same problem as Deidara's, in our village they didn't accepted us because of how we looked, so they killed my parents, because they created "a monster". Then they put me on a cage for 12 years, without food and water. I survived because of the jutsus I learned. And I also wanted revenge" Sakura: "That is too cruel, how could people do that!" Kisame: "I guess" Sakura: "I'm sick of people treating others like that! I mean, they didn't even know you. They misjudged you! You are a good person at heart…why?" Kisame: "Hey! Don't get so sentimental, it already happened" Kisame felt incredible amazed, because he never thought that Sakura would understand exactly how he felt. Kisame (whispering): "Thank you".
So that is how Itachi and Kisame developed "feelings" for Sakura…
In the next bonus story: How Zetsu and Sasori accepted Sakura.
Akatsuki can mean: red moon or Dawn. (Aka is for red, and tsuki is for moon)
