Hi guys!!!! I'm going to Columbia South Carolina for a few days! Not to mention today is my older brother's birthday (July 3rd)! I am very sleepy. I wasn't able to sleep until 1:45 a.m. Since summer started, have you been having sleeping problems?

'Sakura or anyone else's thoughts'

'Inner Sakura's thoughts'

'Flashbacks'

A Meeting

Sakura stood up. She eyed every detail of the room, to be sure her vision was no longer blurring. Her body temperature was normal once again. She paced back and forth in hopes of regaining her composure. After a few minutes Sakura presumed she was ready to go now. She cracked the door open and peeked down the hallway.

'That's odd. This is the Akatsuki base right? I thought it would be more crowded than this . . .' Sakura pondered as she pushed the door open.

Sakura entered the hallway cautiously. She passed the bathroom, and what was probably Kisame's room. Her steps ended at the sight of the dinning room doorway. Then her eyes shifted to the door across from it. Sakura raised a hand to the door as she felt her heart rate rise. She placed the firm knocks and lowered her arm.

The door clicked as the knob turned. The door opened to a familiar sight. Before Sakura stood a black and mesh clad figure. The crimson eyes gave away his identity as Uchiha Itachi. Sakura sighed noticing he was in the way.

"I can't get inside if you block the door like that, Uchiha."

Itachi took a few steps to the right, leaving just enough room for Sakura to pass. Sakura narrowed her eyes at the waiting Itachi.

No response.

She felt the urge to roll her eyes, but did not do so. Itachi would know he was getting her angry. He turned to her with a blank stare. Sakura brushed past Itachi with caution. He just kept on with that annoying stare of his. Sakura tried to ignore it to see his room.

It was the same as hers. Same white comforter and black sheets. Same black desk and cheap lamp. And the same bookcase, floor, and walls. Not that Sakura thought the rooms weren't tasteful. They just didn't have much . . . pizzazz. She did notice something different about the room. There were four chairs instead of one.

Two were occupied. Kisame sat with his hands behind his head as he leaned back, staring at the ceiling. Deidara had his elbows on his knees and his hands propped up his chin, as he stared, seeming a bit distant. Kisame yawned and Deidara sighed. Sakura decided to sit next to Deidara. Bad plan.

Deidara acknowledged her presence first.

"Hey Sakura-chan! How are you, yeah?" Deidara asked with a wide grin.

Sakura was shocked at the quick change of mood Deidara had displayed.

"Hiya Deidara-san! I'm fine, thanks for asking." Sakura smiled.

'I'm still not used not used to the chan . . .' Sakura thought.

'Oh get over it! 'Cause he might be calling you that for a long time.' Inner Sakura said.

Kisame was next of course.

"Oh, hey Pinky didn't see you there." Kisame chuckled at the nickname.

"Well then, hello Fishy-chan!" Sakura cheered. 'I can play your game too.'

Kisame scoffed at his nickname and turned around to ignore the pink pest. Itachi walked over and took a seat between Sakura and Kisame. He was clearly not happy about the seating arrangements. Sakura had purposely done the same thing as before. Sakura wasn't supposed to be enjoying herself here; she was a prisoner for gods' sake!

Sakura noticed the pair of Sharingan boring into her back, and turned around. If looks could kill, Sakura would be bleeding all over the floor. That glare showed ten times more violence than The Great Ninja War. She only returned it with a big smile, and then turned back to Deidara to resume a conversation about the color wheel.

"Sakura-san."

Everyone turned around to acknowledge Itachi.

"We are not here to make small talk. We are here to discuss the terms of you staying here." Itachi said.

Sakura nodded, she knew she probably wouldn't have a say in this.

"Heal only Akatsuki, or allies of Akatsuki. Leader considers the medic-nin's code irrelevant. You are to be seen, not heard. Clean up after yourself, or when told to. Cook, if you are able. Enter no ones rooms other then yours, the bathroom, and the kitchen without said persons consent. And do not go outside." Itachi announced.

"If you break any of the rules Itachi-san said either him or me would punish you." A shiver ran up Sakura's spine thanks to Kisame's warning. He gave a sadistic grin at her reaction.

Sakura then shifted her gaze to Deidara and gave a saddened smile.

'He probably asked to be the one that didn't punish me. I can understand.' Sakura thought, happy that Deidara wouldn't want to hurt her.

Suddenly the door barged open. Kisame and Deidara both fell out of their chairs out of shock. Sakura tried not to laugh, oh she tried, but to no avail. While laughing she looked towards the door to see a boy. He had an orange swirly mask with one hole in it. He too had an Akatsuki robe on. Itachi gave him a quick glance, and then stared at the two idiots on the floor.

"Itachi-senpai! Tobi is sorry Tobi-"The orange masked boy stopped in mid-sentence when noticing; An unfamiliar kunoichi, and two Akatsuki lying on the floor.

". . . Um . . ." The boy stammered then closed the door.

Deidara and Kisame got up and repositioned themselves back in their chairs. Sakura stopped laughing just in time to hear what Deidara said.

"You'll have to excuse Tobi-san. He's the newer of us. Not to mention, he acts like a kid." Deidara sighed.

Sakura nodded in response as Deidara stood up.

"Yay! Sakura-chan's staying with us!!!!!" Deidara yelled cheerfully while jumping up and down.

Kisame, Itachi, and yes, even Sakura just stared at him. Itachi turned his gaze to Kisame.

"Kisame, you get first shift. I will take second." Itachi said.

Kisame nodded then stood up. The fish man walk behind Sakura and pushed her out of her seat. Sakura fell to the floor, and then turned to glare at Kisame. He grinned and pulled her off of the ground. Kisame shoved her over to the door as she turned to get one last look at Deidara. He smiled at her and waved goodbye.

Itachi on the other hand continued to glare at Sakura as she stepped through the doorway.

'God, why does he always act like he's got a stick up his ass?' Sakura thought annoyed by the Uchiha.

'Huh?' Inner Sakura was confused.

'Never mind . . .' Sakura inwardly sighed.

As Sakura and Kisame traveled down the hallway she cocked her head at an angel to be able to see Kisame.

"What was that whole shift thing about, Fishy-chan?" Sakura questioned.

Kisame looked at her as if she were retarded or something. He arched an eyebrow as he spoke.

"Keeping surveillance on you over night. We don't trust you Pinky, you're not Akatsuki. You're just a prisoner." He said matter-of-factly.

Sakura shrugged, seeing that it did indeed make sense. Kisame followed her into her room, pulled out the chair and sat. Sakura saw a folded shirt on her bed. It was long enough to go past her hips, so she assumed she was supposed to sleep in it. Sakura shot Kisame a look and he turned around, so Sakura could change.

"Peek, and you die." Sakura stated murderously.

"All right, all right Pinky." Kisame said while wave one hand.

Sakura slid her leggings and skirt off, then unzipped her shirt, took off her gloves and shoes, and then took off her ninja pack. Sakura slipped on the shirt. It had a high collar, was black, had long sleeves and an Uchiha fan on the back.

"Okay fishy-chan. But don't you dare laugh." Sakura cautioned Kisame.

Kisame rolled his chair around to see a pink haired girl wearing a shirt of Itachi Uchiha. The sight was humorous, but he held in his laugh.

"Itachi's clothes are the only ones that come close to fitting you Pinky." Kisame informed. "He probably did want to piss you off though, that would explain the symbol."

Sakura sat on the bed that had no sheets, no blankets, and no pillowcases. Kisame sat and kept a bored stare on her. She eventually fell sideways on the bed and drifted into a dreamless slumber. But before doing so she had one last thought.

'I'll get you back Itachi.'
