I STILL DON'T OWN NARUTO.

Sakura was in her room, packing some things for the mission when Itachi suddenly slammed the door open.

"May I help you?" asked Sakura, not turning to Itachi.

Itachi ran to grab Sakura's wrist, but Sakura slapped it away with the side of her palm hitting his knuckles so hard that it bled and she wasn't even using her chakra!

Itachi's expression on his face didn't change and he didn't tend to his bloody knuckles.

"Nice job. I just needed to ask you for a favor. Pein's been in a real bitchy mood lately and not even Konan can fix it. Deidara, Sasori and I heard you singing and was going to ask you to sing for him. Will you?"

"Well, if you were going to ask me that, why were you about to grab my wrist?"

"I have my reasons. So, will you?"

"Remember Ita-kun, I pledged my undivided loyalty to Akatsuki, so I guess I have to."

Itachi nodded. "We'll be holding a party once my foolish brother of mine catches the 8-tailed beast. There, you will be singing. Is that clear?"

Sakura didn't answer. Her silence had stated that she already understood. As she packed her bag, there was one item that caught his eye.

"Very well then. I'd like to talk to you about Sasuke."

Sakura again was silent. "Well shouldn't you already know about your cold-hearted bastard of a brother?"

"That's why I need to talk to you about him."

Sakura was confused. Did she really know a lot more than Itachi about Sasuke or is he just trying to confuse her? She had no clue.

She went on her bed to lie down on while Itachi sat on the edge.

"Well, for starters, Sasuke's a bitch who attempted to kill you. Before he left Konoha, he knocked me out and left me on a goddamn bench. He told me that I was weak and he already killed Orochimaru unless he still has his ring. I know that he's never loved anyone, but he doesn't want to see the people most precious to him be hurt again like when you killed nearly your whole clan. Last time I saw him was the day after I left Konoha. He told me to give this letter. He told me this should explain everything he wants to say and ask. After that, I attempted to kill him with the weakest jutsu I know to test his abilities and he told me that I've gotten a lot stronger and might actually kill him someday. Of course, like I said, it was my weakest jutsu." Sakura did a few hand sign and a thick blue scroll with black borders popped up on Itachi's lap.

"Thank you, Saku-tenshi. I'll read it," Itachi said taking the scroll.

"Can't I read it? It might help if I look at it too."

Itachi thought for a second, "Maybe later."

Sakura sighed. "Fine."

Itachi left the room with only one thought in his head. "Did our little tenshi of Akatsuki really betray Konoha?"He walked down the hallway to his room remembering the picture of the everyone she ever befriended - Naruto, Kakashi, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Kankuro, Temari, Gaara, Tenten, Neji, Lee, Tsunade, Shizune, Jiraiya, and herself. There was a rip on the picture because she was hugging a certain shinobi and he knew who it was. "I'll see what I can find on our little tenshi,"Itachi thought as he smirked.

While Itachi was on his way to his room, Deidara went in front of him and made a hand gesture showing him to follow him. Itachi followed and ended up in Sasori's room.

"Hey Itachi, what happened to your knuckles?" Sasori asked.

"Saku-tenshi."

"Oh, un. What did you do to her, un?"

"Can you keep a secret?"

"Yeah, un."

"So can I."

"Well, you should get that healed or it'll leave a scar. Go get that fixed by Kitty because I, as an artist, can't accept imperfections."

"Coming from the guy who's gender confused and has a camera for an eye."

Deidara was pissed now. "I'M A GUY AND IT'S CALLED A SCOPE!""

JUST GET THAT FRIGGEN THING FIXED SO WE CAN GET THIS MATTER SETTLED!" Sasori yelled.

"Hn," Itachi responded. Itachi placed his keft hand over his right and green chakra started to pour out.

"You know medical jutsu, un?"

"You never knew?" Sasori asked.

Deidara shook his head.

"Didn't you tell him?" Sasori asked Itachi.

"I did, but he was busy blowing up his 'art' at the time. Those things can be really loud."

"Well, anything on our kitty, un?"

"Well, she hates Sasuke, but I saw a picture of her and the rest of her friends. She didn't show it to me, I just saw it when she stuffed it in her backpack. Sasuke's head was ripped off but she left the body there."

"If it's been ripped out, how are you sure it's Sasuke, un?"

"Saku-tenshi had her arms wrapped around it. She was wearing her genin clothing. Everyone was."

"Well, anything else?" Sasori asked.

Itachi remembered the note, but all she said it was nothing more than an explaination.

"No, not really."

"Okay then-" Deidara paused for a second. "Did you hear that, un?"

Itachi and Sasori listened carefully. "It sounds like Konan and Kitty coming from her Konan's room, un."

"Yeah, let's check it out." Itachi said. Sasori and Deidara agreed and proceeded to Konan's room...quietly.

"So, what's Deidara like around you?" Konan asked Sakura.

"Well, he seems pretty sweet despite the fact that he knocked me out. For a second, I thought he was going to kiss me." Sakura explained to Konan and they both chuckled.

"You knocked her out?!" Sasori and Itachi asked angrily but quietly at Deidara.

"It's not my fault, un! Kisame practically drowned me in sake after his little...incident."

Flashback

"Kisame, what the hell are you doing, un?!"

"Teaching Mini-Deidara here how to swim."

"You named a fish after me, un?"

"That's right!"

"Fish already know how to swim, un."

"Who are you again?"

"It's me, Deidara, un."

"Oh no! Mini-Deidara, you shouldn't be out of water when I'm trying to teach you to swim!" Kisame yelled while grabbing Deidara's head and dunking it in the tub of sake.

"Mbth Hpthrlpgrpn!" Deidara tried to scream. Deidara kicked him in the shin and Kisame quickly tended to his aching shin while Deidara ran out of the kitchen.

"What was I here for again?" Kisame asked himself.

End of Flashback

"What about Kisame?" Koana asked.

"He's pretty annoying and almost always drunk. My ex-sensei, Tsunade, had me try sake once and man was that stuff nasty!"

"Hehe...I know what you mean. Kisame was so drunk one time that he tried to feed the Samehada to Tobi!"

They all started to laugh so loud that it hurt the ears of anyone within 1 mile of the room.

"So, how about Sasori?"

"He's really sweet and takes time to listen to your problems. Too bad he doesn't have much time on his hands."

"Ok. so what about Itachi then? Heartless much?"

"Hehe...heartless, un..."

"Shut up Deidara!" Itachi said in a whisper.

"Actually, Itachi's really nice once you get to know him. He's very talented and a good kisser. He can get on your nerves sometimes, but it's pretty funny when you think of it. When I feel down, I just have to think of one of them and I'm automatically happy! And now I'm happy I'm friends with you too!"

"You kissed her?!" Sasori and Deidara whisper-shouted.

Itachi just remained silent and tried to just listen to the rest of the conversation.

"Thanks! Well, you should be getting ready for your mission. Aren't you sad that you have to eventually kill Naruto when we extract Kyuubi from him?"

Sakura thought about for a brief second. "No, not really."

"Well, I'm sure Itachi, Sasori, or even Deidara will ask you out sooner or later. For sure."

"Thanks a mil! Just one problem, if they all ask me out, who will I go with?"

"I'm sure you'll make the right decision."

"Well, I'll go pack the rest of my things."

"Okay! See ya later, Sakura!"

"See ya, Konan!"

They both waved and Sakura exited.

"Let's go, un!" Deidara said, still whispering.

They all left within a millisecond.

"Well, better get ready for tomorrow,"Sakura thought.

"Hey, kitty!" Deidara said smiling. "What are we having for dinner?"

"Well, I was thinking of cooking some ca-"

"WRONG, un! We're going to the Akatsuki restaurant under the moonlight, un!"

"Oh my God! That's great!" Sakura screamed as she hugged Deidara.

"Yup, un! Just you and me under the moon and stars, un! Come at 8PM and wear something nice, un! Here's 1,000,000 ryo, un. Get yourself a little something if you want, un. Remember, the date starts at 8PM sharp, un! Don't be late, un," Deidara said. "Just go to my room and I'll escort you there, un.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Sakura screamed as she squeezed him tight.

"Have you found Itachi yet, Karin?" Sasuke asked.

"Not yet, but I have found Naruto. He's most likely after us or the Sakura bitch."

Sasuke was pissed at her for calling Sakura a bitch, but he kept his temper. "We'll follow Naruto and he'll lead us to Itachi." Sasuke explained

"And they you will finally be mine, Sakura," Sasuke thought.

ShadowPuppetRogue: Well, that's all for now!

Deidara: Yes, un! I get a date with Sakura!

Sasori: I still can't believe you kissed her!

Itachi: Hn. Well, it's 10:30PM, so you should be sleeping my two tenshi.

ShadowPuppetRogue and Sakura blush.

Sakura and ShadowPuppetRogue: Well, goodnight!

Next chapter coming up tomorrow!
