The boss of all bosses

Sakura raises her knuckles to the door of Itachi Uchiha's mansion Aka Akatsuki HQ. The door opens to reveal one of the Akatsuki leaders Konan.

Akatsuki wasn't just a one area gang more like worldwide. Of course the police never really could figure out who was the man in charge. She only saw and spoke to him three times in her life and it was never a good chat.

Konan didn't say anything she just walked away silently telling Sakura to follow her. The main Akatsuki members were all sitting down on couches and love seats. The atmosphere was disturbingly tense and she knew why when she looked at the desk. More specifically the man behind it.

"Sakura so glad you could join us. How's the new school?" Madara Uchiha had a way with words he could either make your blood boil or he could make you bow down to his feet.

"Fucking Madara." Sakura turns her head to the other Uchiha in the room who was just sitting there drinking some damn tea.

"Teme." She knew Itachi heard her when he wouldn't look at her furious face. Her relationship with Itachi was that of siblings and she would admit she kissed him a few times but it didn't mean anything really. Who wouldn't want to kiss him.

"As great as it is seeing you Madara I have, uh homework to do." Sakura attempt to flee from the room and out of the house but some of the guards stood in front of the door.

The pinkette sighs and turns back around to Madara glaring daggers at the man. "What do you want Madara?"

Madara stands up from his chair and walks around the desk to her. "Must we always go through this Sakura?" At lightning speed Madara's fist connects with her stomach, making her spit up saliva and fall to her knees clutching her stomach.

"Those eyes of yours still hold defiance even after that hit." Madara then punches her in the face causing her to collapse on her side.

"You must think that this is a punishment, but it's not I'm just whipping Sakura into shape..." Madara lights up a cigar he puffs it a few times then continues. "I only want the best in Akatsuki." Madara then kicks her in the ribs with his clean and polished shoes. She refused to cry or yelp in pain for his pleasure. If she could, she would of stopped herself from gasping for air. Times like these she was reminded that no one actually cared for her at least enough for him to stop torturing her.

"I have a task for you Sakura." Sakura looks up at Madara who was smirking down at her. "A shipment of weapons is coming in tonight and I want you to personally get a specific weapon for Akatsuki."

Sakura burst out laughing, getting pity looks from the other Akatsuki members. "How many times do I have to tell you Madara. I'm. Not. In. The. Akatsuki. Or do I have to spell it out for you.' Sakura slowly lifts herself off of the floor. Before she could even look in his eyes a fist punched her in the face again, knocking her back on the floor.

She could feel something trickle down from her nose. Shaky hands go up to her nose and looks at the red substance on her fingers. He broke her nose.

Sakura could be defiant all she wanted, but she knew it wasn't going to get her very far. So she gave in... For now. "Just one question-

Sakura puts her hand over her bleeding nose. She could taste metallic and copper from her blood.

"Why do you need it?"

"Glad you see it my way. Gato and his men are causing quite an annoyance to our work in progress." Madara pulls out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and toss it to her.

"You might want to clean yourself up before you go meet that Uzumaki kid. One more thing Sakura I own you you are part of Akatsuki whether you want to be or not. Don't go against me again Sakura next time I won't be so gentle." The two men standing in front of the door opened it for him and followed behind him.

"Itachi tell Yahiko and Nagato that I will see them later on." Itachi nods and turns his cold onyx eyes to his friend. She was just staring at where Madara stood.

"Man was that intense. Sakura you got to stop upsetting him or else." Deidara looks down at his favorite pinkette and attempts to help her up but she just smacks his hand away from her.

Sakura gets up slowly, her emerald green eyes shielded by her pink locks. She held one hand to her nose and another on her bruised ribs and walked out of the mansion.

"Hmm, I think she's angry at us."

"No shit Deidara." Sasori snaps.

Sakura walked up the stairs to her apartment she unlocked the door and slammed it behind her. She had to suffer through the concerned and confused stares she received as she walked down the street and in the hospital. Sakura walks to the freezer and grabs an ice pack for her bruised ribs. She had a bandage over her nose. "I have really done it this time." Sakura glances at her phone that she set down on the coffee table when she walked in.

She picks up her iPhone and makes a call to her blonde friend.

"Hello?" He finally answers her and she could tell he just woke up from the sound of his voice.

"Hey baka." She says.

"Hey gorgeous."

Sakura wouldn't admit it to him, but she kind of liked when he called her gorgeous. She started laughing at the blonde once she compose herself, she begins speaking again.

"Is that your nickname for me?" She heard on the other line Naruto "hmm" like he was thinking about it.

"Only if you want it to be." Sakura hoped that Naruto knew he was playing with fire and she loved to burn.

"I love it when you call me that it makes me feel heated." Sakura says back trying her best to sound as seductive as possible.

"Anyway, I'm done meeting with Itachi and I have time to spare." Sakura's mood was once again crushed as she thought about what was going to happen at night. It wasn't like she never did missions for them, but never a mission that was the utmost importance.

"Ok, I'll come around in 30." She heard him pause and was going to ask what's wrong but he quickly speaks up.

"Um, make it an hour." Sakura starts laughing again, which she didn't mean to but he was an interesting guy. After farewells are given out they hang up.

An hour goes by and the sound of knocking rang in her ears. Sakura sets down a magazine she started looking at and went to answer the door. Standing on the other side with a huge grin on his face, but that soon disappears when he sees her holding an ice pack to her ribs and a bandage on her nose.

"Sakura-cha-" he started.

"Don't worry about it Naruto." Sakura bright green eyes glaze over as if she was not present. She snaps out of it and quickly steps to the side and lets him in closing the door behind him.

Naruto sighs and knew she was avoiding the topic. "I bought a few movies that we could watch together." He hands over the stack of movies to her. Sakura then started grinning back at him. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Naruto nods eagerly, "Movie night!"

"I'll make popcorn you pick one and put it on." Naruto puts on the old movie Scarface it was one of his favorites. He settles down on the couch and waits for Sakura.

She comes back with a bowl full of buttery popcorn and a 8 pack of beer and some Pepsi. Naruto gives her a look and she doesn't notice it until she is settled down beside him with the popcorn in her hand.

"What?"

"Beer? Are you an alcoholic or something?" Naruto laughs which rewarded him a punch in the arm that causes him to wince.

"Shut up baka." Sakura turns her head away from him and pouts.

Naruto looks at her closely, his eyes kept wandering to the bandage. "You know you are still gorgeous even with that bandage on your nose."

Sakura wasn't sure how to respond to the blonde. It was like they were on a date, but wasn't. Her feeling toward the blonde was there, but how strong they were she didn't know.

She gave him a small smile and started looking back at the movie not noticing the blonde still staring at her.

As the movie was closer to ending she didn't realize she was on the edge of her seat as Tony was shooting up the attackers.

Naruto was amused as her eyes shone with interest and delight. "Nooooo!" He turns his eyes back to the movie it was at the part where someone snuck up behind him and killed him. Sakura was on her knees in front of the TV hugging it.

Naruto starts laughing at the pinkette who just glares at him with anger in her eyes. "He was a jerk Sakura-chan he deserved to die after all the things he's done." Sakura lets go of the TV and sits back down beside him.

"Put in the next movie." She says begrudgingly which worried Naruto.

"I-I didn't mean to upset you Sakura-chan it was just my opinion." Sakura grabs a beer and chugs it down. If Sakura was being honest to herself she felt that she could connect to the movie in a weird strange way.

"It's fine just put in the next movie." Naruto sighs and put in the movie Interview.

Naruto wanted to cheer her up so he put in a funny movie.

"Hey Sakura-chan." Sakura "hmms" not looking at him which of course hurt.

"What do you think Shikamaru is going to make you do tomorrow?" Sakura starts laughing at the thought that came to her.

"Probably go to the store and buy him some cigarettes." Naruto laughs and agrees with her wholeheartedly.

"I'm more worried about Kiba then Shika." Naruto stops laughing suddenly and stares up at the ceiling.

"Do do you like Kiba Sakura-chan?"

"or anyone." He mumbles the last part to himself hoping she didn't hear him.

"Eh, where is this all of a sudden coming from?" Naruto rub the back of his head with a crooked smile slightly nervous.

"Hmm, well I was just wondering if you know like like someone at school." Naruto looks away embarrassed and her gaze wasn't lessening it.

"Not really." Sakura knew what Naruto was doing and wasn't sure how to respond to him basically asking her if she liked him as more than a friend. The look of utter depression was on his face.

"Well, maybe I like this one guy, but I'm not sure if he likes me back and we just met." Naruto's dejected look lightens up a bit as he thought she was talking about him but he highly doubted it.

"Oh w-who?" He hesitated to ask the question and probably already knew the answer. 'Probably that teme Sasuke.'

Sakura slide even closer to the blonde to get her point across. She wasn't really sure if she really did feel like that for Naruto but she was willing to at least go out with him and see.

"Sakura-chan." Naruto whispered, looking into her eyes, seeing a certain spark in those emerald eyes. Sakura knew he was dense, but damn this was just ridiculous. If she scouted anymore near him she was going to end up in his lap.

"I don't understand." Sakura was beyond frustrated did he want her or not she was practically shooting signs at him and it was like he was dodging them repeatedly.

"Dammit Naruto." Sakura snatches the popcorn away from his hand and sets it on the coffee table. She throws one of her legs over his lap so she was now straddling him.

Her face was flushed from anger and embarrassment. While he just looked more confused and was blushing as red as a tomato.

It finally dawned on him that Sakura was talking about him and was straddling him. If possible his face flush even more red.

Sakura sighs, knowing she has to take the lead. "Naruto even though we just met I feel like I've known you for a while. Besides, it's fun to hang out with you." Sakura gives him a dazzling smile which could melt the coldest heart. He wasn't clueless about what's going on now, he was actually pretty happy hell enthusiastic.

Naruto looks into her eyes, trying to see if this was a joke or something maybe even another dream. When he couldn't find anything he slowly put his hands on her hips. "Sooo you're now my girlfriend?"

Sakura smirks, "only if you want me to be."

Naruto nods quickly not wanting to lose his chance. They stare into each others eyes for a good minute cerulean looking through emerald until finally they begin to lean forward. He gently cups her pinkish cheeks

Electricity shot through Sakura's body. It was a new feeling to her even when she was with Sasori or other guys they never made her feel like what the blonde was making her feel.

Naruto never noticed before, but he could see her freckles all on her cheeks. For a fleeting moment he admired how beautiful they made her look.

The tension and the heat became unbearable, Naruto's lips met Sakura's. The warmth of his mouth sent a current of heat waves running through her body. Sakura threw her arms around Naruto's neck as she lost herself in the kiss that oddly tasted of ramen not that she was complaining.

Naruto deepens the kiss. She began running her fingers through his soft wild blonde locks. Naruto runs his hand up and down her back getting a small moan in return. He could taste the beer on her lips and it only made him want more taste more.

Sakura felt something hard pressing against her ass and automatically knows what it is. Naruto breaks the kiss and begins kissing down her neck, biting and nipping leaving hickey marks in his wake. He was in a strange way claiming his territory. Sakura moans softly and before she could grab a hold of herself, she was grinding against his clothed member.

A growl escape pass his lips and next thing she knows she was under him with him hovering over her. He looks down at her with so much love that it almost scared her. "Sakura-chan I don't know how to control myself when I'm around you. You bring out the best and worst in me and that's why I-I L-"

Naruto was cut off by the sound of Sakura's phone ringing, playing Safetysuit find a way. Sakura reaches into her back pocket never taking her eyes off of him. Her breathing was heavy and so was his.

"Hello." Her heavy breathing stops suddenly when she recognizes the voice on the other end.

"It's time for your mission." Sakura does some hand signals telling Naruto to let her up. He does and Sakura stands up and goes into her room and shut the door.

"Itachi you have a nerve calling my phone." Sakura whispers angrily.

"Mhmm Madara wanted me to tell you where to go for the shipment." Sakura mentally curses.

"Where is it?"

"Konoha airport."

Sakura sighs, "Anything else?"

"Sakura be careful, we're actually stealing this from Gato." Itachi says calmly for some strange reason.

"What!? Are you fucking kidding me? Is Madara planning my death?"

"Relax you're just taking the reaper drone. It will be easy and you'll have the Akatsuki clear it for you. Sakura this is UAV. The official name of it is the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper. I'll send you the picture when I hang up." Sakura was gaping at what she was told she had to do. She thought it was going to be a simple retrieve mission unfortunately it was more complicated than ever.

"Shit I'm going to die and I just got a boyfriend too." Sakura whines a little despite being sent to her death for a damn Unmanned aerial vehicle.

"You're dating someone?" Itachi sounded doubtful as if he didn't believe her or something.

"How soon can I start the task?" She says purposely ignoring his question.

"As soon as possible before Gato's plane takes off to Wave." Sakura looks at a clock on the wall it was 7:30pm and she was going to have to cancel.

"How the hell does Gato even have that isn't it only available to the ANBU?"

"Kabuto the one I've told you about is head of Konoha's weapons development. He's basically a double agent and I'm guessing Kabuto gave them the codes to get in and steal it."

Sakura could definitely feel a headache coming any minute, "and what happens if they find out Akatsuki just so happens to have the shit stuffed in the fucking basement along with other things we practically stole from under their noses?" Itachi was silent on the other line and she wasn't expecting him to say anything else unfortunately he did.

"Is it Uzumaki?" Sakura stumbles over her words as she tries to find what to say. Until she settles on just playing dumb.

"What are you talking about?" she takes a deep breath through her nose.

"Don't play dumb Sakura I know you better than you know yourself. So I'll just take it as a yes." Her silence confirmed his suspicions. She hated how easily that he could read her as if she was like an open book.

"Sakura I hope you know what you're doing. They're things that you have to hide from him and it might just be your relationship downfall... Secrets."

"I hear you Itachi and I especially heard you when I was getting my ass handed to me on a silver PLATTER." In case anyone couldn't tell she was still upset about what happened.

"Oh wait, you didn't say shit." Sakura spits out.

"Sakura you know I couldn't even if I wanted to." The way Itachi had been always so calm irritated her to a high degree. So what does she do hang up on him of course.

Sakura sits down on her bed with her head in her hands. She heard knocking on the other side of the door and was tempted not to open the door.

She opens the door and walks to her closet to pull out a pistol. She checks how much ammo she has. Naruto stood with a dumbfounded look on his face. "What's with the gun?" Sakura looks at him from the corner of her eye. She knew that deep down Itachi was right about about the Akatsuki being the downfall of their relationship, but she at least wanted to be happy for a little bit before her life went to hell. "Sakura-chan I don't want you to do this." Naruto walked closer to her and rested his hand on her shoulder.

"Naruto there are going to be some things that I just can't tell you and I don't want you to worry about it ok?" Naruto's eyes held an emotion she was so unfamiliar with was it worry desperation. No. It was love.

Sakura pecked Naruto and caressed his cheek. "I'll be fine." Sakura picked up the gun and examine it.

Naruto sighed, "Can you at least tell me who broke your nose?"

"Nope."

"Sakura-channnn." Naruto whines sounding like a little kid who didn't get his way.

Sakura laughs and turns back to her closet. Naruto wraps his arms around her waist and kiss her collarbone. "I don't think I need anymore hickeys from you." She says and turns back around to face her blonde boyfriend, she wraps her arms around his neck and look into his eyes. "I got to go so are you staying here or leaving."

Naruto thinks about it for a little bit and his answer was, "Naw I got to go too, I guess." Sakura nods and was about to back up from him but Naruto just ended up pulling her closer.

"Goodbye kiss?" Sakura smirks and leans in the same time Naruto leans in and their lips meet together. Sakura was the first to pull away much to Naruto's disappointment as he was planning on deepening it.

"Now go. I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto kisses her forehead and shocks her since nothing good ever came out of her forehead except one thing but that was a story that was never meant to be dug up ever.

"Bye Sakura-chan." Naruto leaves with a big ass grin on his face and a laughing Sakura.

Sakura's laughing stops when she hears the door close. Sakura looks into the mirror and touch her tender nose. Her eyes flash a dangerous green as she thought about what happened with her and Madara. "Damn him." She was aware that Madara being in town was going to drive her crazy. The pinkette runs her fingers across the bandage she was so angry hell furious. Sakura points the gun at her reflection and shoots it. She knew it was loud and none of her neighbors really cared to be honest.

Sakura puts the gun inside of her pants and pulls her shirt over it. She also throws on a black hoodie and puts the hood over her head.

I'm ready.

A/N: I wasn't even planning on making this hell I was planning on a break. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to making a new chapter I guess.

I have my reasons for getting Naruto and Sakura together so quickly you'll just have to wait and find out along with what's going on with the bomb thing.

Yep, like I said in my author notes above, I decided to make NS happen. And those moments are just life. *fangirls* next chapter is the whole task. I love Madara but I just had to make him so mean.

I finished this a while ago along with the new chapter of Pink Haired Anbu I've just been busy with School.
