ShadowPuppetRogue: Okay! I'm back and I'm better than ever!

Sakura: What the hell took you so long!

ShadowPuppetRogue: Well, first it was the Talent's day thing, then the Nutrition month, Buwan ng Wika, Intramurals, Teacher's Day, Periodical Exams, and I'm almost on my semesteral break, so don't pester me. I should be studying for my Math exam tomorrow, but I hate to study.

Deidara: Wow. You sure can come up with a lot of excuses you lazy-ass writer.

ShadowPuppetRogue: Shut the hell up or in the next chapter, you're gonna die.

Itachi: Why wait? Kill him now.

Sakura: Hey! Who am I gonna end up with anyways?

ShadowPuppetRogue: Dunno. We'll all see.

Deidara: Yup. Shadow-chan doesn't know because she a friken LAZY-ASS WRITER!

ShadowPuppetRogue: Shut the goddamn hell up you...you...YOU!

Deidara: You can't even come up with a better nickname! I win!

ShadowPuppetRogue: Oh no you don't! (starts to attack Deidara)

Kagome-Loves-Kouga: Hi guys! What's goi- (sees Deidara and ShadowPuppetRogue fighting) (anime sweat drops) Well, I guess I do the disclaimer then. ShadowPuppetRogue doesn't own Naruto...or any of the characters for that matter and never will. Ja Ne!

Sakura just laid her head onto her pillow and wiped her eyes with the back of her hands, stopping her tears from running down even further. Sakura decided to just examine the room while she thinks of what to do. Corner. Corner. Corner. Corner. Door. Edge. Edge. Edge. Edge. Window. Ceiling. Cabinet. Futon. Vanity. Side table. Kani Tempura and iced tea with a lemon on the side. Kunai on the floor. Computer. Computer Desk. Computer Chair. That was it. She sighed. Well, it has been forever since she has checked her e-mail, messenger, or myspace. She decided to walk over to the computer and pressed the power button. The little noises started as the computer was turning on. "Dumb computer with its stupid noises," she thought aloud. Soon enough, it got to the login part and she signed in as 'guest.' A picture of the whole Akatsuki group posing and looking fearful was the background. It kinda creeped her out, but without a moment to spare, she logged on to AIM and YIM.she checked who was online. Soon enough, a window popped up from her AIM. It was Ino. It read: Hey Sakura. How are ya? Sakura didn't see how they would find her if he only messaging, so she replied.

sharuno328 (10:26:45 PM): Good, though I was expecting that you were gonna call me Billboard Brow or something.

iyamanaka923 (10:26:54 PM): Nah. Kinda got old. So, how is it in the Akatsuki?

sharuno328 (10:26:59 PM): It's fine.

iyamanaka923 (10:27:04 PM): Still a virgin?

sharuno328 (10:27:07 PM): Yeah. Why?

iyamanaka923 (10:27:18 PM): Knew it. Even with all those guys there, you still can't get a guy to fall for you. Haha!

sharuno328 (10:27:25 PM): Shut it! Plus, I might be coming back.

iyamanaka923 (10:27:31 PM): Sweet! BTW, do you have a webcam?

sharuno328 (10:27:35 PM): Yeah.

iyamanaka923 (10:27:41 PM): Well, then turn it on!

sharuno328 (10:27:45 PM): Fine.

sharuno328 (10:27:49 PM): There. Happy?

iyamanaka923 (10:28:02 PM): Very. OMG! Tempura! I wish I had some. T-T

sharuno328 (10:28:06 PM): LOL.

Soon, she noticed that iNotEmoKidGrr had logged on, so she quickly shut off the computer before he could even send her a simple "Hi." Sakura flipped onto her bed and started to think of what she said. Sakura looked at her empty old backpack and started to pack it full of the necessities. She packed in her pictures with the Akatsuki, her wallet, some money, and some medical equipment. She picked the kunai off from the floor, threw it through the window and made her escape. But before she took her last step out of the Akatsuki, she looked at the picture of her, Itachi, Sasori, and Deidara all together. A tear slipped as she grabbed another kunai and threw it at the picture, slicing it in two.

About an hour later, Sasori noticed that Sakura hasn't been out of her room lately, so he went to the door and knocked. "Sakura-chan, are you alright?" No reply. "Sakura?" Still no reply. Sasori kicked the door open and just stared at the curtains flying in the wind. He looked at the picture on the ground and balled his hands into fists and ran after her. "I won't need help. She could be who knows where by now.

Meanwhile, Sakura was at the gate of Konoha and took her first step since she was back. Suddenly, someone swiped her and his behind a house. It was Ino. "Sakura, are you crazy?! They'll kill you if they see you here! I didn't think you'd be back so soon!" "Well, I am back." "Here's some hair paint and a new outfit. You can't go back into the village looking like yourself. Let's hurry to my house." Ino and Saku both made a handsign and they appeared in Ino's room. "Okay! Time for your makeover!" Ino pushed her into a chair and started to brush her hair. She dyed it black with brown on the bottom and tied it in a nice high pony tail. Next, she handed Sakura a set of clothes. "Go put these on. The bathroom is right across from this room." Sakura went to the bathroom, changed, and before you knew it, she had on nice black sneakers, black capris, a sleeveless black top, and a Konoha hitai-ate tied around her waist. She also had gloves on. Ino said, "Congratulations! You are now Kimi Suzumi!"

(A/N: Now that Sakura is back in Konoha, let's see if they'll buy her disguise while an angry Akatsuki is on the look out. I love reviews and your feedback! )
