Temari: -has hand on hips looking a bit irritated-
Shikamaru: tch…
Temari: Ok…well, last chapter, there was confusion……apparently, people have no idea what time this takes place in. so…lets take some of the Who Knew? story's specifics and review it right now.
Shikamaru: Troublesome people…
Temari: Deidara and cars. Yes, one would be totally confused about that if they didn't read Who Knew…this is the mini series…the Part one and a half to Who Knew…which was a story about how Sakura ended up in a world occurring in 2007 where we have cars, ipods, ddr, etc, and how she went to a highschool, met everyone and found out that Sasuke was really from the regular Naruto world and soon everyone started to 'remember' the original Naruto ninja world and their life there…how?? Well, it was all just one big jutsu Tsunade performed with her necklace because she thought it'd be better for everyone...and also because it's just an idea the author thought was worthy to write about. YEeshh so much talking
Shikamaru: You shouldn't have wasted the time and just leave that reviewer hanging…too troublesome
Temari: Shut up, lazy ass! –smacks with fan- Anywho, this is like a continuation…a story based off Who knew where the characters have their summer break and spend it at a camp known as Wooding Camping, and crazy shit happens!
Deidara: Like some of the Akatsuki and two other characters go chasing for Sakura's heart, yeah!
Temari: Yeah like that…
Deidara: And Leader and The Unknown's 'secret sessions' yeah!
Temari: O.o
Sasori: Not that, you idiot!
Deidara: …oh…
Temari: Uhm…so yeah. Hopefully that clears it up for anyone who is like WTF?!? SO yeah.
Sasuke: You forgot about my parents…
Temari: -squints- Okay…then…uhm…this could have been avoided if y'all just paid attention and read WHO KNEW! Jeez! Okay, for the people who are too lazy, like shikamaru over here, then I'll explain it to you…
Shikamaru: Tch
Temari: Because of Tsunade's jutsu, she was able to bring back Sasuke's parents! As well as Yondaime who will be Naruto's dad and NOT the Akatsuki leader in this fic. As for Sakura's own parents? Well, for starters, before she "remembered" her ninja life, Sakura had these two adoptive parents that died in a car crash, and they were friends of Mikoto who was willing to take Sakura in. Sakura's real parents were just never really explained in the actual series so…the author made them both die in the ninja world like a year after Sasuke left for Orochimaru's liar. OKAY?!?
Deidara: SHORTCUTS, YEAH!
Kisame: But the whales! They will never understand!
Itachi: …moo…
Kisame: THEY WONT UNDERSTAND THAT EITHER!!
Temari: …it will be a random OOC moment then. I don't care. Anyway, Icha Icha Ramen does not own Naruto or the characters...Now, onto the story!
CHAPTER TWO!
Sakura knocked politely on the front door of Leader's mansion. The butler, Ralph, opened the door and gave her a pleasant smile.
"Hello Ms. Haruno!" He greeted as he stepped aside to let her in. She smiled back and nodded at him.
"Sir Leader is not down stairs yet but everyone else is!"
"Thanks!" Sakura opened the door to a set of stairs and hurriedly ran down them, and ended up in…The Akatsuki's newest hide out….a mere basement! Though, not just any basement. Leader made some improvements over the year!
For instance, on the left side of the room was the DDR machine and a Para-Para machine too, and couches w/ the TV and playstation set. The right side contained the stereo with a built in the wall CD collection, and some extra space for sleeping. The middle held their awesome meeting table, which was low to the floor so they all had to sit cross-legged on the floor.
"Sakura-chan, yeah!" Deidara cried out as he ran up to her, with Sasori tagging along with him.
"Hello…"
"Why are you here? Its soo early, the meetings during the summer don't start til 9 on Tuesdays!"
Sakura sighed heavily and walked past them to sit at the cleared off table. Deidara frowned and sat beside her while Sasori sat on the other side of her.
"Mikoto…Sasuke's mom, decided to sign me up for a camping place…and now…me and Sasuke are going to spend the rest of the summer there…." Sakura replied. Deidara's eyebrow twitched, while Sasori gave a blank look.
"YOU CAN'T GO AND LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THESE FREAKS, SAKURA-CHAN, YEAH!" Deidara shouted as he cried anime tears, making everyone in the room turn their heads.
"Sakura is leaving?" Zetsu's white side asked, rather surprised.
"NO! You're too hot to leave!" Hidan added. Deidara threw him a glare, but Hidan shrugged it off.
"You moron…" Kakuzu muttered to his partner, as everyone seemed to gather at the meeting table, all taking their respective places near their partners.
"you pink bitch, you can't abandon us!" Kisame put in, eyeing her with disapproval of the news.
"WHAT IS THE COMMOTION, YOU BASTARDS?!?" Everyone stopped focusing on Sakura and turned to Leader, who was coming down the stairs and giving everyone his usual intense glare.
"Sakura is leaving!" Tobi cried out.
Leader snapped his fierce crimson gaze to the pink haired kunoichi sitting in the middle of the table.
"Haruno…mind to shed some light on that statement?" He questioned, though it came out more of a demand. Sakura gulped.
"Well…I have no choice but to leave to a camp just outside of town…for the rest of the summer." Sakura stated quietly.
Leader stared at her for a good two minutes, letting the tension in the room build up a bit before replying.
"A camp, eh? Hmm…. The UNKNOWN!" The blue haired man sitting near the end of the table lifted his head.
"CHECK OUR SCHEDULE!"
With a tsk, the blue haired man adjusted the white flower in his hair before opening a binder and flipping through it. He stopped, scanning whatever page he was at before looking back up at the leader with bored eyes.
"We have…nothing. And, no money due to the random Taco suited person who stole the suitcase of money from Kakuzu…."
"It was Hidan's fault, he had the case while he was arguing with the mafia!"
"…"
Leader rubbed his chin, holding a stern and serious expression on his face as he did so, and then glared at each individual sitting before him at the table.
"In order to gain power, we need money…to get money…we need jobs. You each will either find one at that camp or enroll in the camp!" Leader exclaimed.
"I am already enrolled…" Itachi spoke up.
"Very good. What is the name of this camp so that everyone can follow through with this new order?"
"…Wooding Camping…"
The Leader's eye brows furrowed at the strange name but didn't give it a second thought.
"Hidan! Because you screwed up with our money, you are to earn the money back, along with Kakuzu, Kisame, Zetsu, and Tobi."
"Why Tobi? Tobi is a good boy, Tobi didn't do anything!" Tobi asked.
"Because, you aren't even supposed to be here, and by helping us you will become a member!"
"YAY!"
"Well no, but we will consider it."
"awwr…"
"Any other questions?"
Kisame raised his hand, and Leader nodded.
"How do we raise the money?"
"Apply for a job in the camp grounds…or as a councilor for the kids or something. Now, what else is there to discuss, Unknown?"
The blue haired man sighed and flipped open the binder again.
"Besides the money issue…we still need to straighten out the details with this camp…"
"Right. Then everyone else who was not included in the 'earning money' list will just enroll to the camp, because we all need to stick together…besides, this will be an excellent way to hide ourselves…the mafia is still after us due to Hidan's stupidity...Meeting closed!"
Leader got up from the table and went over to The Unknown to share some other information that shall never be known while everyone else kind of got up and stretched their legs.
"Hmmm…a councilor…" Kisame said thoughtfully. Sakura smirked as she stood beside him.
"You could be a lifeguard! Oh wait, you'd probably scare all the children into thinking there was a shark in the water!"
Kisame glared at her.
"Very funny, pinky."
"I know, I am just quite the comedian!" She pranced away to Sasori and Deidara who were near the CD corner. Sasori conversed with Sakura, asking about the camp while Deidara kept asking if there was any art center he and Sasori could possibly be in charge of.
"Hmm an interesting summer this will be…" Kisame looked beside him to see Itachi, who was watching Sakura.
"What do you mean?"
"There are a handful of men that are interested in Sakura…I will be highly amused in watching my foolish little brother try to keep her all to himself when so many are trying to catch her attention…"
Kisame blinked.
"…are you going to…?"
"hmm…perhaps I will…I haven't decided…" Itachi trailed off. It will be fun to torture Sasuke…
"You know, you're right…this might be interesting indeed, Itachi-san…" Kisame said after a moment.
"After all, we all know Deidara is still smitten with her…and from what I heard after last weeks meeting, Sasori has had liked her for a quite a while now too…"
Itachi blinked, his gaze drifting to where Sasori was seated on the carpet next to Sakura, giving Deidara an annoyed stare.
"Hmmm…"
--
"So…why does Zetsu-san have to get a job, too??" Tobi asked. Zetsu looked over at Tobi with a blank look and shrugged.
"Actually, it's because the jobs we have available are either janitor, councilor or assistant councilor…and if you want to be in charge of a group of annoying brats, you have to be mean…" Kakuzu explained. Hidan huffed, crossing his arms.
"I still think it sucks." He murmured.
"Shut up, moron" Kakuzu gruffed, kicking Hidan in the leg.
"DAMMIT you Stupid Sew-bag!"
"I think I will apply for gardening…."
The group of three all stared at Zetsu….
"That is a good idea, Zetsu-san! Can Tobi assist you!?!?"
"….no"
"But Tobi is a good boy!" Whined Tobi
"hmmm Tobi is a good boy…fine."
"YAY! Thank you Zetsu-san! You made Tobi very happy!" Tobi attempted to hug the venus-fly trap wearing man….only to have Kakuzu's thread stop him.
"You owe me five bucks for saving your life" Kakuzu said.
"…Huh?"
"Remember the LAST time you tried to hug him, dork-face?" Hidan snickered.
"…"
"You were almost consumed alive…"
"…oh yeah! Tobi remembers!"
"…idiot" Zetsu closed his eyes, while Kakuzu let go of Tobi and began to think of a job suitable for him, while Hidan ranted on how he planned to torture the kids he got assigned. Oh yes, it seemed the poor camp kids were going to be in for an unpleasant treat at camp this year…
--
"Ah, I got to get going. Mikoto's going to wonder where I am!" Sakura exclaimed as she got up from the floor. Deidara stood up with her, hugging her around the waist and planting his face right in her hair.
"Ah, but I don't want you to go home to that itachi-chibi-bastard, yeah!" Deidara replied. Sakura sighed heavily.
Sasori narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't do anything more, as he watched Sakura struggle to get the blonde off.
"Deidara! Come on, I really need to go!" She said, but Deidara kept his surprisingly strong hold on her.
"But I need you to stay with me! Don't leave meeeee!" Deidara whined, crying again.
"Ugg, and you call yourself a man!" Kisame groaned as he and Itachi walked up to the trio.
"Shut up fish breath, un!" Deidara snapped, but his grasp loosened enough for Sakura to escape. The blonde's one revealed blue eye traveled over to Kisame's partner…who stared back with those red, sharingan eyes…
Deidara frowned, clenching his fists as he glared into those eyes…he hated them. Those stupid eyes seemed to mock him and his art…it offended him to no end.
Meanwhile, Sasori had gotten up from his place on the carpet and how was watching with little interest as his partner and Itachi maintained their little staring contest…
"Well, I'm leaving. Ja'ne!" Sakura said, as she tried to tip toe out of there unnoticed…of course, she failed. She didn't even make it five steps until she felt two bodies glomp her, thus causing her to fall to the floor…
Deidara, being the smart blonde he was, quickly moved himself so that he landed on the floor first, and cushioning the pink girl's fall. Sakura growled, opening her eyes to meet with…an orange mask. She sweat dropped.
"Tobi!"
"Sakura! Tobi will miss you!" He gushed as he squeezed her into a hug…She almost suffocated, if it weren't for Deidara ripping her away from Tobi.
"Give me your cell number! We can chat!" Tobi insisted, pulling out an orange phone with black swirlies printed on it.
"Uhhh…o...k?" Tobi handed her the phone, clapping his hands while she entered in her number…
"YAY! I love you Sakura-chan!" Tobi squealed, after he received the phone back, and tried to glomp her again…but Deidara still held her away.
"NO!" Deidara yelped, leaving Tobi to fall flat on his face..err mask.
"Deidara, you idiot, let go of her already." Sasori said impassively as he stood behind the blonde. Deidara seemed to freeze, his grip once again loosing until he no longer was holding onto Sakura and turned around, a peculiar look on his face as he looked questioning at his 'danna'.
He said that rather coldly…yeah…
"Right….i'll be on my way then…" Sakura said awkwardly as she left to go up the stairs.
She walked to the door, stepping out into the cool night. I love summer nights, she thought dreamily, as she stepped away from the front door and proceeded to walk home.
It didn't occur to her that someone was following her until she was a block away from the house.
"Itachi." Sakura stated as she stopped dead in her tracks. She turned around and found the said man walking slowly up to her. When he caught up, she continued walking on, and they walked in silence….
CHA HE IS SO DAMN SILENT I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! STUPID UCHIHA MEN AND THEIR STUPID SILENCE!!
I know what you mean…
AND SASUKE CALLS US ANNOYING! HAH!
"Talking to yourself?" Sakura stiffened as reality seeped in. She glanced at Itachi.
"tch."
"You were mumbling aloud…" he explained. It was quiet again, and soon they were able to see the Uchiha residence. Of course, both ninja's sensed Sasuke's chalkra and found him looking out the front window.
Was he waiting for me?!
CHA! HE SO LOVES US! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Sakura blushed at the thought, while Itachi narrowed his eyes at his little brother. When they came up closer to the house, Sasuke narrowed his eyes as well, and got up from the window to open the door.
"Where were you two?" He asked emotionlessly, though his deep onyx eyes seemed to gleam with jealousy.
"That's none of your concern, little brother." Itachi replied back, pushing past the teen and walking to his room. Sasuke growled as he watched his elder sibling disappear, and then turned to Sakura, expecting an answer.
"Akatsuki meeting. Chillax, chicken-butt." Sakura answered lightly as she moved inside as well. Sasuke 'hned' and followed her into the kitchen, where Sakura was now leaning inside the fridge looking for her newest craving. Chocolate!
Sasuke watched as she gave a small cheer upon finding her special treat. She leaned against the counter, opening up the candy bar and munching on it.
"mmmmmmmm I LOVE chocolate!" She squealed. Sasuke didn't respond, as expected. She looked up at Sasuke, who was standing next to her, and frowned.
"ano…want some?" She asked, waving the chocolate in front of him. Sasuke made a face as he turned his head away from the substance.
"No."
"Oh come on! You know you wanna!" She taunted, coming closer and closer to him.
"I don't. I hate sweets. Now, get that thing away from me." He stated, closing his eyes and refusing to look at her and the chocolate bar.
Sakura slowly lowered the bar, the smile that once graced her face faded as she knitted her eyebrows at him. She leaned close to his ear.
"You don't have to act tough in front of me, Sasuke…" She whispered softly. Sasuke's eyes snapped open in surprise.
"Happy birthday, Sasuke-chan! I made you a vanilla cake!"
"Mom, I thought I told you, I don't like sweets!" A seven year old Sasuke crossed his arms and pouted, refusing to look at the piece of Vanilla cake that sat before him.
Mikoto giggled, and then bent down to Sasuke's ear.
"You don't have to act tough in front of me, Sasuke-chan…go ahead, I know you want it…" Sasuke opened one eye, peeking at his mother unsure. Mikoto raised both her eyebrows waitingSlowly, Sasuke's pout turned to a grin, and he dug into the cake.
"Well?" Sakura asked, holding the candy bar up again. Sasuke stared at it…and then looked back at her. Hesitantly, he lowered his head, and bit off a piece from the bar, before straightening up again and averting his gaze to the kitchen sink.
Sakura giggled as she bit another piece off the bar as well and leaned against Sasuke's shoulder.
"You're so cute, Sasuke-butt!" Sakura added, making the Uchiha blush with embarrassment and grit his teeth.
"You better not breathe a word of this to anyone else." He hissed. Sakura kissed his cheek, and threw away the empty candy wrapper.
"I won't! I promise!" She exclaimed happily with a wink. Sasuke paused, watching her…she really was a lot like his mom…he felt a smile tug at the corner of his lips as he shoved his hands in his pockets and strolled over to her.
He wrapped his arms around her possessively, tilting his head to the side, still staring into her round green orbs.
"Good." He murmured, before leaning in to press a soft kiss to her lips. It was brief, but sweet, and the Uchiha pulled back, licking his lips.
"Mmm chocolate…" He said, letting her free from his grasp as he started to walk out of the kitchen. Sakura blinked for a second before an angry mark appeared above her forehead.
"HEY! YOU CANT JUST WALK AWAY LIKE THAT YOU DUCK ASS!" She raged, running after him to the next room.

"DEIDARA-SEMPAI!!!!!!!!!! TOBI CANT GET A HOLD OF SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!" Tobi cried, wiping his now dripping mask (from all his tears) onto Deidara's cloak. The blonde artist made a disgusted grunt, before pushing the immature boy away from him.
"Tobi you idiot! Only I may call her Sakura-chan, yeah! AND her phone is probably off!" He stated.
Sasori sighed heavily from his spot on the couch. The three were all in his apartment, for what reason he did not know, and now he had to put up with these two idiots…wonderful.
"BUT TOBI WANTS TO CALL SAKURA-CHAN, SAKURA-CHAN!" Tobi whined.
"Shut up you swirly betch! Or I'll be the death of you, yeah!" He threatened, giving Tobi a glare.
"tee-hee, death by explosion, sempai??" Tobi snickered. Deidara narrowed his one exposed eye.
"No! DEATH BY STRANGULATION, YEAH!" With that, the blonde lunged at the unsuspecting orange masked boy, and wrapped his arms around his neck. Sasori watched mildly amused as choking sounds started to erupt from Tobi as Deidara shook his neck about.
"Deidara…" A dark voice barked. The blonde stopped in time to see Zetsu pluck Tobi from his grasp.
"ZETSU-SAN! YOU SAVED TOBI!!!!!!!" Tobi went to wrap his arms around his green friend, but of course, Sasori held him back with chalkra strings. I don't need a mess on my floor, thought the puppeteer.
"Why are you here, yeah?"
"…I felt like it."
It was quiet in the room, and Deidara looked around before sighing.
"Well at least we don't have Kisame randomly bursting in here, yeah."
"SAVE THE WHALESSSSSSSSS!"
"Nevermind."
Our favorite blue shark man coughed as he dusted himself off. I mean, he DID have to break through a plastered ceiling just to make his wonderfully dramatic entry!
"You are paying for that." Sasori said tonelessly as he picked up a water bottle.
"Uhm yeah…" Another awkward silence.
"Well, I'm going to Itachi's! BYE!" Kisame sped out of the room, leaving Zetsu hacking on the dust, Tobi still struggling to hug 'Zetsu-san' and Deidara whacking the orange masked fan boy on the head.
"This camping event is going to be hell…" Sasori commented.
