RATING: T

AUTHORESS'S NOTE: Alright, here's the second chapter! In this one I'll reveal the man and woman, and other people. O.o why did you all guess Orochimaru? (is confused) the 'Strange hair, Strange eyes' thing was a rather wide clue, I guess...and the song was "Already Over" by Red. (sweatdrop) sorries!...at least I thought it was...anywho, this chapter will be good, I promise. and if you're wondering who Usui is, you'll either have to wait, or read some of my other longer fanfictions. (sweatdrops) sorries.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own straight A's, so tell me HOW I could own Naruto? XD exactly. So, I DON'T OWN.

Green eyes peered over the expanse of rain-washed land, and sighed. 'where is it?' she wondered, then she looked to the village she was by. 'Hmm...'

'Saku-chan... come on, it's the next best bet.' Inner commented. 'he's either there or somewhere else, otherwise they would've been at another base.'

Usui nodded. 'Hai.'

Sakura sighed, and then hopped off the ledge she had been standing on, ignoring the mud that splashed onto her pants.

Three weeks. she had been searching for them, for three whole weeks now. she had tried to go back into Konoha to explain to Naruto, but she had found him crying over her supposed grave. her face twisted into anger.

'they think I'm dead! oh, sure, weak little pathetic Haruno Sakura couldn't protect herself for a few measly weeks, now could she?!' she instantly crushed a part of the cliff in her fist, calming down. '...forget it. if they think I'm dead, it's one less thing to worry about.'

the two other entities residing in her head nodded, and then she kept on walking, the mud under her feet squelching with each step. she walked into the village without a second glance, spare one or two for her hair, and she walked past many yelling vendors. It seems that everyone was rather used to the rainy weather. she walked past an alleyway, when a man with a snarl on his features stepped in front of her.

"Hey sweetie!" he grinned with his moldy, black teeth making her nearly shudder in digust in plain view. "how about I pay you fifty Ryo and we go back to my place for some--" he stopped as blood gurgled past his vocal chords, his windpipe now tatters thanks to the medically trained chakra Sakura used.

"shut the hell up." she glared coldly down at him, and he then fell from her grasp, dead.

a few people cheered for her but then went back to thier daily work. she smiled faintly. it seems that bag of scum wasn't well-liked. she looked to a giant pair of doors in a large face of rock, and smirked. that was it. she strolled to the doors and gave three knocks.

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

they gave resounding shounds, an she could hear someone's sandals clicking on the floor inside the cave, and then a door opened.

"Hello?" a black-haired head came out, with red eyes gleaming. "who is it? state your business."

she sighed. of course, it had to be Uchiha. Uchiha Itachi to be exact. "Hai, of course Uchiha-san. My name is Haruno Sakura. I am here to talk to Pein-sama and Konan-san."

he glared. "No."

she scowled. "I was told long ago to come here, idiot. now let me through, or I can make you suffer." she growled slightly.

"I said no, Haruno."

her eyes turned from the sharp viridian green, into bright purple eyes with snakelike slits. "I said," she snarled. "LET ME THROUGH."

he stepped back in shock. "Hn. go ahead, Haruno." he said warily, watching the girl as her eyes dulled from the purple back into the green.

"Good." she huffed. "I've been searhing for three damned weeks..." she muttered under her breath, and then brushed past the Uchiha as he closed the door. she went through the deserted hallways, until reaching a black door with a few kanji to represent the leader's room or office.

she knocked twice.

"come in!" two voices came out at the same time. a female and male's, to be exact.

so, she opened the door and gave a tiny smile. "Yo, Uncle. Konan."

the two looked at her, and at once the blue-haired woman was up, and she siezed the girl in a hug. "Sakura-chan! Oh my gosh, are you alright!? you look tired! and skinny! have you been eating well?!" she instantly fussed over the younger girl, who sighed, and hugged her back briefly.

"Hai... I've been eating... I've been sleeping alright too... I'm fine, I guess." she shrugged, and the woman let her go. the man behind the desk stood, and walked around to her.

"Sakura-chan..." he spoke, and her eyes went to his form from the worrying Konan.

"Uncle..." she spoke, and he gave a small smile.

"Sakura-chan... Why have you come?" he asked. "I thought you wanted to stay in Konoha, for your special person..." his eyes held a bit of confusion. "oh! how about we talk over tea?" he suggested, and the two women nodded. the kettle of tea put on the stove in the room was nearly done, and so they all sat down.

"Well... I'm currently an ANBU Black Ops. Field Medic and Interrogator... but..." her eyes saddened. "I left because my special person broke my heart. I was going to ask Tsunade-sama if I could marry her the very next day, but..." she started, but Konan gaped.

"HER?! Sakura-chan, are you a...a-!?" she gasped out, flipping her lid about Sakura's preference.

"I'm bisexual, Konan. it isn't a big deal, alright! I fell in love, and all that matters is that she broke my heart... anywho, that was my last prominent bond, and so I left without saying goodbye. I went back to check on what they thought my status was,a nd I found my best friend Naruto crying by my 'grave'... so it won't be a problem unless they find out I'm alive." she shrugged. "I...I came to become a part of Akatsuki, now that my loyalty now no longer lies with Konoha."

he nodded. "I see. you finally came ot take your spot in Akatsuki? well your Medic abilities and other skills will be a fine addition to our Organization." he gave a tiny smile as he sipped his tea, and she gave a smile.

"Arigatou Gazimasu, Uncle! I won't be a burden." she placed her hands together and bowed her head, in a sign of thanks.

he nodded. "Your room will be the one closest to the entrance, Konan will show you there, and since you effectively equal three fighters due to Inner and Usui, you won't have a partner. except on missions. your cloak and ring will be in your room." he gave a smile and ruffled her bangs. "Be careful, Sakura-chan.. I don't want to lose you all over again...like when you stayed in Konoha." his eyes saddened slightly.

"I know, Uncle." she sighed sadly.

"and call me Pein, if you want..."

"Arigatou, Pein." she smiled, then stood and gave a wave as she and Konan walked out the door. Konan led her to her rom, and gave her a quick hug.

"I'll swing by later to tell you when lunch is, 'Kay?" she winked, then she was walking down the hallway, and gone in a second.

the girl sighed as she felt her hair, and it was greasy, muddy, and knotted. her face felt grime-covered. her body felt...gross.

she looked at her bed, and saw her ring that Pein had promised to her, with the kanji 'Kitsune' on it. the cloak was one of obviously one of Konan's spares, due to the fact that it was a female one. she looked to where she knew the bathroom was.

'Hmm...I do need a shower...' she inwardly grinned, and then went into the shower, stripping herself as she went along, and turned on the water to steaming hot, and smiled at the shampoo and conditioner that was there. not to mention the bodywash! she scrubbed herself and shaved- she really, REALLY needed it- and then dried off with a hum of her chakra after a long fourty-five minutes.

she dressed in a clean version of her outfit she had left Konoha in, and looked to the cloak. she knew the members really didn't wear them around the base much, but still...she missed the comfort of the cloaks. she'd worn one long ago, when she lived here, and it was the most comfortable and warm thing to wear ever. she slipped on her ring, and then went to the mirror by the small closet, and applied a bit of mascara, and then looked at her chipped black nail polish, and sighed. she really didn't want to re-do them, so she'd leave them.

she let her hair go down, since it was still short, it spiked a bit, and she put her scratched Hitiate in it's usual spot. her eyes looked so...unhappy, and thier usual spark of happiness and cheer was missing. no wonder. her heart had been broken.

the aformentioned item clenched in pain, and she grasped the spot. "right, no thinking about that." she murmured, then there was a knock on the door.

"Sakura! it's time for dinner!" Konan said cheerily, and the pinkette exited the room, locking the door with a key.

"alright, Konan." she tilted her head slightly, and then they were off. Sakura could've found the way to the place herself, but Konan realized that the time must have changed. it had.

So, they got there soon, and Sakura entered after Konan, hidden partially by the taller woman's frame.

"who the hell is that?" Hidan asked, tilting his head to try and get a better look at the pinkette.

"..." Itachi was silent.

"Oh. it's you." the resurected Sasori toned flatly.

"Aa, welcome to Dinner." Pein shrugged, then went back to eating his ramen.

Konan pointed her to a seat between a blonde-haired man and a hooded man, and she sat there, her face blank.

Pein raised a piercinged eyebrow at her. "introduce yourself." he spoke, and she sighed. "name, Rank, Status in your old village, and why you are here."

"Haruno Sakura. ANBU Black Ops Field Medic. Status in Konohagakure no Sato; supposedly Deseaced. to become an Akatsuki member, now that my loyalty now no longer lies with the Leaf." she spoke evenly, and the rest whispered.

"How the fuck do they think you're dead?" the violet-eyed man sneered.

she shrugged. "Oh, I went missing for a week or so without a trace, went back to check on what my status was, and found my comrade crying over my 'Grave'."

Pein nodded. "and she'll be of use because she was a student under the fifth Hokage, and she has surpassed the Sanin, student of Hatake Kakashi, and is proclaimed dead, which will work in our favour."

she nodded. "Hai."

Konan smiled and patted her head before she went to her seat. "Sakura here has known us for a very long time."

the rosette Akatsuki nodded. "ever since I was three..."

the Leader nodded. "she's also the last of the Haruno."

Sakura nodded once more, and then her stomach gurgled. "oh...I haven't eaten for two days..." she whispered, and then grabbed a bowl of ramen- chicken to be exact, and then ate it with a ravenous hunger that she had obviously just remembered.

After Dinner, they all went into the large living room, and were all sprawled out in either armchairs or couches.

everyone stared at the Haruno, until Hidan smirked.

"Hey Sakura! don'tcha want some of this?" he guestured to his bare chest.

she shook her head. "no, you dolt. you're not...curvy enough for my tastes. or someone I know." she smirked, as his jaw dropped.

"what are you, a fucking lesbian?!" he shouted, and she laughed.

"Oh, I've had a few girlfriends, but I've had a few boyfriends as well." she winked, then sobered. "It doesn't seem worth it anymore..." she muttered under her breath, as she crossed her arms and leaned back on the couch, her dark mood making the two others- a guy showing barely any skin and Itachi- scoot slightly away from the angsty girl.

"Sakura-chan? are you alright?" Konan asked, and the girl sighed.

"just...don't ask." she murmured darkly, and then went back to her thoughts.

'CHA! They shouldn't ask about it at ALL!' Inner screamed out.

'Exactly. that hurt my Kit deeply...Saku-chan...are you alright?' Usui toned motherly.

'I'm fine, Usui-chan.' Outer sighed.

Zetsu stared at the space above Sakura's head. "Sakura-san... what were those two?" he asked, his two voices responding.

her back bolted straight, and her eyes widened slightly and held a spark of caution. "what do you mean?" she asked innocently.

"that black and white thing and the fox-thing that appeared above your head. what the hell were they?" he responded, and everyone was watching.

her eyes sparked in realization. "Schizophrentic, correct?" he nodded. "Well, the black and white version of me was Inner Sakura. the other one was...Usui."

"what?" the white side asked.

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed. "she's a Jinchuuriki! of the ten-tailed demon kitsune!"

in a few mere seconds everyone had a kunai at her throat.

"Pein!" she whispered. "tell them about it, or I might not live, the pressure on my jugular vein is increasing, thanks to a kunai."

he nodded. "Stand down." he ordered, and they hesitated. "I said, STAND DOWN." he said with an edge to his deep voice, and they all withdrew thier kunai.

Sakura sighed and rubbed the slice on her neck, healing it with a quick wipe of purply demonic chakra, thanks to Usui. "Phew. that was a close one..." she murmured.

Pein sighed. "Sakura 's a Jinchuuriki, but her Bijuu cannot be used for anything, now that the Statue has been destroyed." they all had regretful looks in thier eyes. that was true. "Also, Usui has chosen Sakura as her container. she's more or less the secret demon of the Haruno."

Sakura nodded. "Hai. Inner was within me when I was born."

he nodded to that. "ever since we've known each other, we've helped each other out. I helped her control Usui and Inner, sealed them, and gave her a home, while she gave me someone I could call family and someone for Konan to help."

the rosette nodded. "Hai." she saddened. "Ever since Usui killed my abusive clan, I have accepted Pein as my uncle, and he accepts me as his niece. even though not by blood, it might as well have been."

Itachi's eyes glimmered. "Still. you are a Jinchuuriki."

she sighed. "I can't help that any more than why I left. Pein-sama, may I please retire for the evening?" her eyes looked so...dead. Pein winced, and then nodded.

"Hai...Sakura-chan, be careful..."

she nodded and sent him a fake plasticy smile that made Sasori twitch. "I will try not to have a nightmare, Uncle. Arigatou Gazimasu. Oyasami-nasai, Minna-san." she then walked off, down the hallway. she didn't need thier pity, or thier jeers either, so she just went back to her room, to have a restless night of trying to sleep.

"Pein..." Konan whispered, then put a hand on his shoulder.

"I know, Konan." he whispered back, and then everyone went silently back to thier rooms for the night.
