Recap:

With Sakura

"So you want to join the Akatsuki do ya now?" asked a man that resembled a shark.

"Hai." Sakura replied.

"What is your name?" asked another man that looked just like Sasuke.

"Sakura Haruno."

"We'll take you to leader-sama." the shark man replied.

"Hai." she said following the two akatsuki members.


"What should we do Tsunade-sama?" an ANBU asked.

"I have no idea." Tsunade replied shuffling through some paper. "Where would she go? She has no relatives in other villages."

"Ask her team. The might have an idea." The ANBU said.

"I have already interviewed her team and they have no idea either." she replied rubbing her temples.

"Excuse me Hokage-sama, but I must be leaving."

"Go. God Sakura, where could you have gone?"

With Sakura

"What do you two want?" a man said as Sakura and the two men walked in a room.

"Pinky here wants to join the Akatsuki." the shark-man said.

"Oh really?" the man asked facing the trio. "Why do you of all people, want to join the Akatsuki?"

"I have nowhere else to go." Sakura replied plainly.

"So you're from Konoha right? Why not go back to your family and friends?" he asked again.

"I have no family and my friends... I no longer have any." Sakura said choosing the right words.

"Oh really?" he replied amused.

The room feel silent until the man nodded.

"We will give you one chance and one chance only. These two will show you around and introduce you to the others. Now go!" he ordered as the two men dragged her out of the room.

"So what's your name again?" the shark-man asked.

"..." no reply came from the pink kunoichi.

"Answer me damnit." he said getting ready to punch her.

"Why do you care fish face?" Sakura said.

"That's it!!!" 'Fish face' threw a punch at Sakura but right before it hit her, the man that looked like Itachi caught the punch.

"Not now Kisame." the Sasuke look-alike said.

"Got a soft spot for her do ya now Itachi?" Kisame teased receiving glares from both Itachi and Sakura.

"Hey guys, yeah." said a blonde that Sakura thought was a girl but was not sure of.

"Go away Deidara." Kisame said walking past the blonde.

"That's a guy by the way." Itachi whispered to Sakura.

'That's a guy!?!?!? It looks like Ino a bit.'

'Itachi... that's Sasuke's brother right?'

'I think so.'

Sakura ended her conversation with her inner. After about 20 minutes she met the rest of the people there.

Sakura POV

I already met Deidara, who IS a guy. His partner is Tobi but used to be Sasori. His weapon is 'exploding art.'

Hidan was this freaky guy, his old partner was Kakazu. His weapon is a three bladed scythe.

Itachi, Sasuke's older brother, partner of Kisame. He is a master at the Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan and fire based jutsu's. What I found funny was that his name means weasel.

Then there is Kisame, Itachi's partner. His weapon is the Samehada which absorbs chakra. He is also mastered is water based jutsu's.

Another person I met was Tobi. He always wears this orange mask and his partner is Deidara. Apparently there was another member, Sasori, but he died. I didn't hear is weapon or special abilities.

Zetzu so far freaked me out the most. He doesn't have a partner. He can control plants and he is split between colors. One side of him is black while the other is white. His is also a cannibal which was why I am going to stay away from him.

Regular POV

"I'll show you to your room, yeah." Deidara said walking into a long hallway. Many, many doors later, we stopped in front of a door with a cherry blossom on it.

'Did they expect me to come?'

"This is why we didn't take you to your room earlier. Everybody has their own little sign on their door yeah. Someone will come to get you when dinner is done, yeah." he said leaving Sakura in front of her door.

Sakura walks into her room to see a fairly large room. A Sakura tree is growing outside of her window and sakura petals are the decoration on the walls. She saw a queen sized bed with a night-stand on the left side of the bed. A white desk was beside a light pink dresser. To the right of the bed was a door leading into a bathroom with regular bathroom items. Going back to the room, to the left of the desk was a door leading outside, to get back to the hallway was on the left of the night-table. Beside the window Sakura noticed a huge bookshelf full from top to bottom with books.

'I like this room.' Sakura thought as she pulled out a book about chakra control.

About an hour later Sakura set down the book and just stared out of the window from her bed. While she was daydreaming, she was interrupted by a loud knock on the door. She opened the door to find Kisame.

"Dinner is ready so hurry up to the kitchen." he said as he walked away from Sakura.

Sakura closed her door and ran after Kisame; she didn't want to get lost in this big place.

In Konoha

"Where are you Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked to no one.

"How many times are you going to ask that, baka?" Sasuke asked sharpening a kunai trying to get his thought away from Sakura.

"Until we find her." came the reply as Naruto started to stare into space.

"Hn."

"Hey have you two seen Sakura-chan?" asked Ten Ten coming up to the two boys who were on a roof.

'Baa-chan said not to tell anyone. Crap.' Naruto thought trying to think of a liable excuse.

"Nope." he finally came up with going back to staring into space.

"Sasuke?" she asked.

"No." came the usual reply.

Ten Ten gave up talking to the two and went searching for the missing Sakura.

"Uchia-san, Uzumaki-san, the hokage would like to see you both immediately." an ANBU said to them before disappearing. The two followed instructions and made their way to the hokage tower.

"BAA-CHAN!!!!!" Naruto screamed walking into Tsunade's office.

"Naruto, stop screaming." Kakashi said shocking the two boys that their sensei was there.

"Why are you here?" Naruto asked pointing at Kakashi.

"He's part of out team, dobe." Sasuke said.

"Teme."

"Don't you two start now." Tsunade said picking her head up from her desk full of papers. "I just recently found a lead on Sakura."

Naruto eyes lit up with hope, Sasuke stared at the floor, and Kakashi waited for what was going to be said next.

"My lead is that a pink haired girl was seen with two members of the Akatsuki. One being Itachi Uchia." as soon as Tsunade said this, their was an uncomfortable silence.

"You don't think they kidnapped her do you?" Kakashi asked breaking the silence.

"From what my sources saw, there was no struggle between any of them." Tsunade said looking down at her desk.

Sasuke began clenching his fists and Naruto's hope soon died down.

"Could she have been under control?" Naruto asked surprising the other three in the room with the actual question.

"That, I do not know." Tsunade replied taking a drink of sake. "You are all dismissed. Oh and keep this silent until we have something definite. And Sasuke, do NOT, I repeat do NOT, go out of this village without my permission, that goes for all three of you."

"Hai." was the reply.

With Sakura

Sakura was shocked on how much these guys talked, well how much some of these guys talked. Deidara would shut up, Tobi kept muttering 'Tobi is good boy,' Hidan and Zetsu kept talking about different ways of killing, Itachi was talking to, or trying to talk, Itachi about different subjects. Sakura just stayed silent afraid of saying the wrong thing. And she didn't want to provoke Zetsu who she was sitting beside. Here was the seating arrangement.

Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, Tobi, Zetsu, Sakura, and Hidan.

After Sakura finished with her dinner she got up, put her dishes in the nearby kitchen and went exploring for her room. When Sakura left the real conversation began.

"What do you all think of pinky?" Kisame asked since no one else would.

"Quiet." Hidan said taking a bite of his bread.

"Weird." Zetsu added taking a big bite out of his chicken.

"Tobi thinks she is nice." Tobi said underneath his mask.

"..." Itachi added nothing.

"Tomorrow one of you will spar with her to test her abilities." said a man walking in.

"Hai, Leader-sama." they all replied.

"Who shall spar with her?"

No one volunteered.

"Then I shall pick. Itachi, lets see how far she can get fighting you." Leader said.

"Hai." Itachi replied leaving the room.

'Tomorrow should be interesting.' they all thought.
