Me: Hello! This is the first chappie! It has been remade and I think you'll find it way better than the first one!
Eddie: songs are in Italics as well as thinking and flashbacks.
Me: Okay, a little refresher time! Nagato is Pein's younger brother but does not live with him for he's living with Yahiko and Yahiko is their adopted brother. They both hang out at the Akatsuki's place a lot because Yahiko and Konan are dating! Also Tobi is just Tobi with split personalities which is Madara and is also NOT the real leader of the Akatsuki! And the Akatsuki are the most powerful gang in Konoha. Their enemies are ROOT and Orochimaru's gang, Snake.
Eddie: Yoi no Chi does not own Naruto or the songs: Given Up by Linkin Park, In Your Head by Free Reign, Scream with Me by Mudvayne or anything that's awesome at this moment of time!

Chapter One
The New Students
No point of view
(With Pein)
Waking in sweat again.
Another day's been laid to waste….
in my disgrace.
Stuck in my head again.
Feels like I'll never leave this place.
There's no esca-
A fist smashed the alarm clock with great force. The fist quickly retreated to its master's side, leaving the alarm clock shattered.
A man with spiked apricot hair grumbled some curse words and sat up. He blinked away the sleep from his knife-sharp emotionless eyes. His eyes were strange; six black rings surrounded his pupils making them look like bulls eyes. His eye color was difficult to describe, they were silver but at the same time, lavender. The two colors swirled along each other but didn't dare to mix.
Piercings covered his face, giving off a "you mess with me and you'll die" look. He was tall, roughly 6'4. His body was something anyone would die for, built with a six-pack and as hard as stone. He was neither too built nor was he too skinny, he was perfect.
Pein sighed, glaring at he's broken alarm clock. "Konan has to stop putting those evil things of doom in my room." He glanced at the "evil thing of doom"; it was only six a.m., school does not start until seven forty-five.
'Why in the whole fucking world would Konan wake me up this damn early?' He grunted, he was too awake to go back to sleep, thanks to someone! Abruptly, a knock sounded from his door.
Pein frowned, he knew who it was and oh how he wished he didn't. "Leader-chan! Leader-chan! Paper-chan wants you to get up," an annoying voice shouted through the door.
Pein irritably sighed. 'This is why I want a sound-proof door.' "I'm coming," he grumbled, knowing it would be too much trouble to ignore his annoying friend, the lavender-eyed sixteen-year old slowly got out of his comfortable bed and strolled over to his door.
Cautiously, Pein opened his door and hid. He peeked around the opened door to see if Tobi was there. Not seeing the idiot, Pein stepped out of his hiding place, sighing gratefully. Just then, he heard someone yelling: "Leader-chan!" And then he was tackled by the most annoying person he ever met, Tobi.
"Tobi was so worried! Why does Leader-chan take so long to open the door?" the masked-teen yelled in his pierced ear. "Tobi get off of me," Pein growled, pushing the twit off of him.
"Tobi's sorry but Paper-chan gave Tobi TWO lollipops to bang on Leader-chan's door! Tobi is good boy!" Tobi shouted, holding out the lollipops Konan gave him as proof.
Pein sighed, so this was Konan's fault, why was he not surprised? He pulled on a pair of ebony jeans and strolled out of his room and up the basement stairs all while putting a black T-shirt with the Akatsuki symbol on it.
He silently made his way to the kitchen where he knew Konan would be. He was correct; there stood Konan, wearing ruby-colored skinny jeans and a dark tank-top with red clouds on it. She seemed to be making breakfast. "Konan," the Akatsuki leader acknowledged coldly.
"Hello Pein, where's Tobi?" Konan giggled, she ignored his harsh tone and continued to flip pancakes. "Don't act all innocent! Why in the fucking hell would you think I would want to fucking wake up before even the shit-headed roasters are awake?" the lavender-eyed teen asked, letting his annoyance show more in every word he spoke.
"Come on Pein, there's only a few weeks left of school; you don't have to suffer much longer. Just put on your big boy pants and deal with it," the woman stated, glancing up at him with her clever ashen eyes that left no room for an argument.
Pein felt a growl coming from his throat; she always did that to him. You would think she would stop sometime but he wasn't going to get his hopes up. The man sighed and grabbed some Aleve from a cabinet. It was not even seven in the morning and he already had a head ach.
"I'm going to need help with putting the food on the table, can you help me?" Konan asked, finishing making the eggs. She didn't even wait for a reply before she stuffed his hands with several plates full of pancakes. 'I'm the leader so why can't I get some respect around here?' Pein thought, taking a seat at the head of the table.
"Breakfast is ready!" yelled the navy-haired teen. She took a seat next to Pein. Both covered their ears before "it" started.
No noise could be heard throughout the house then the floor started rumbling like a bunch of elephants were coming. All that could be seen was dark flashes, yelling: "food."And a cluster of hands seized the poor pancakes. "Yes, I love pancakes yeah!" shouted Deidara, letting out a quick hiss as Tobi hugged him.
Kakuzu, who decided to wait until the mob had seated smirked. "See Hidan, I told you we were going to have pancakes. Now pay up." He held out his tanned hand. Hidan grumbled something along the lines of: "stupid damn bitch, always fucking winning damn bets." The silver man got up from his seat to dig in his pocket for the five dollars.
Kisame peaked his head out of the pantry, why he was in there no one knows and probably doesn't want to know. "Yes, pancakes," he mumbled, taking his seat next to Itachi.
Nagato and Yahiko slipped through one of the windows and quickly sat down to destroy the food with their mouths. Pein swore there was food on the table before they got there. It was quite disgusting to watch most his members eat like pigs so he just placed his headphones in his ears and continued eating.
You try to reach them but you leave them dead.
Do you remember what it is that I had said?
Can't keep everything up in your head.
Don't believe the stories that you have read.
You can't keep them up in your head.
Think before you speak instead.
(With Sakura)
Ever feel like dying?
Ever feel alone?
Ever feel like crying?
Lost child in a stone.
Ever feel like pu-
"Shut the fuck up, damn clock," commanded a woman around the age of sixteen. The alarm clock ignored her and continued playing. The woman glared and got up. "It's time you pay for your ignorance." She snatched the clock-ripping out the cord in the process- and threw it out a window.
Glass shattered as the clock crashed through it. There was a loud thud and someone moaning then silence. "Sakura-chan!" bellowed a male voice from below her.
Sakura sighed and ran a pale, slender hand through her rose-colored hair. "What?" the rosette shouted back callously. "Can you refrain yourself from throwing objects out windows? You hit the assassin!"
"You mean the assassin that was trying to kill us?" The teen waited for a response as she took off her night-shirt. "…well yes but I was going to kill him and just as I was about to shoot him, a alarm clock comes flying out of your window and strikes him on the head and boom, he's dead! It was awesome but I wanted to kill him!"
'Why does he always want to be the one to kill the assassin?' Sakura asked herself, her beautiful indifferent eyes staring at a full-length mirror. Emerald eyes traced the scars on her body before she turned on the shower knob.
Sakura leisurely walked down the stairs, throwing the towel that was on her shoulder into the laundry room. The towel landed in the washing machine perfectly. "Morning," the rosette causally greeted, ignoring the deadly glare that was sent her way.
She grabbed a banana and quickly consumed it. "Don't forget, we still have to bury the body," informed Naruto, tossing on his jacket. Sakura nodded and followed the blonde to the backyard.
(With Pein)
Pein grabbed his keys of the key rack and headed out the garage door. He threw his coal-colored leather jacket over his shoulder and he placed his sunglasses over his eyes. Behind him, the rest of the Akatsuki followed him to his black 15 passenger van, 2009 ford.
They got into the van and Pein hit the gas, thundering out of the garage and on the street in less time it takes to say, insane. "Oi, Pein, slow down un! I think I'm going to puke yeah!" yelled Deidara from the back of his van, squeezing the closest person next to him which was the unfortunate redhead, Sasori.
"It's not my fault you have to puke. Maybe next time you won't steal my pancake!" Pein yelled back, speeding up to make the light just as it turned red. "You're going to get arrested for reckless driving," hissed Kisame, hugging his seat belt like it was a lifeline.
Kisame normally did not mind the fast driving but that was when they were in the line of fire and had to get away for their lives not over Deidara stealing Pein's pancake. It was one hell of a silly way to die and the pale blue-skinned teen always thought that he was going to die by being shot down by a rain of bullets like what's-his-face from The Godfather.
"No, I won't," told the Akatsuki leader calmly, trying up the radio so he doesn't have to listen to all the whining. "Yes you will, you damn crazy person," grumbled the shark-looking teen, glaring at the back of his leader's head.
Two ebony Kawasaki ZX-7RR shot past the van. Kisame moaned, there was more than one insane driver on the road today. Pein smirked, he had a good feeling about today and it had to do with the two people on the sport bikes.
They made it to the school in less than five minutes which originally it would take twenty. They had a lot of time to spare before school started, so they decided to relax under their meeting place, the cherry blossom tree on the far side of the school lot.
More students came a little while after, making the front of the school look like a famous store having an 80% off sale. There was the sound of motorcycles in the distanced. 'I bet it's them,' Pein thought, looking in the direction the sound was coming from.
Two ebony Kawasaki ZX-7RR sport bikes came into view. 'I'm correct.' "Why is it that they get cool bikes and we have to ride in an old beat up van yeah?" mumbled Deidara, crossing his arms over his chest.
"When you get the money for one please tell me," Pein shot back, too interested in the people who were riding them to hit Deidara for being an asshole. One had a feminine look so he guessed that it was a woman. The other was bigger and more muscular.
The two strangers sped into the parking lot and took the only spaces left. The shorter one took off her helmet revealing choppy rosy hair with midnight-black streaks.
The woman had on tight dark pants that led into also tight smoke-colored boots at her thighs. A sleeveless leather jacket was opened to reveal an ink-colored shirt that was cut off at the bottom to show her pierced belly button.
On her arms were fishnets stopping at her pale wrists. Fingerless jet-black gloves clung to her slender hands like bark to a tree. A loose crimson necklace hung around her neck next to a spiky silver choker.
Her face is what really got his interest, blazing emotionless emerald eyes that could kill you if you were not too careful. Beautiful scarlet lips that were placed into a frown, the bottom one had snake bites piercings.
Her left eyebrow had a piercing and her elegant nose rose slightly at the tip. All in all she looked like an angel from hell; Beautiful but dangerous.
The taller teen also took off his helmet, showing his spiky blonde and ebony hair. He had a leather jacket also opened in the front revealing just a fishnet shirt.
Baggy coal-black jeans hung on his form. He was wearing charcoal skaters shoes. His face also caught Pein's interested; the man had three whisker-like scars on both of his cheeks, stunning sapphire eyes that held a lot of emotion unlike the woman.
The woman and Pein caught each other's eye for a brief second before who he guessed was her brother, patted the rosette's back, making her look away.
Pein inwardly smiled, 'that's the first time someone has looked at me with no fear in their eyes. She's an interesting creature indeed,' before he turned to punch Deidara.
(With Sakura)
Fog swirled through the air, making the sun's light hard to see. There was a sound of a shovel hitting the earth. That was all it took for the crows resting in the hollow trees to fly, singing their haunting stories. Standing in the old cemetery were two figures. They lifted a stiff form and dropped it into the hole.
"Now that's all done, it's time to go to school!" cheered Naruto, rubbing of the dirt on his pants. He grinned when he caught sight of his sister's expression. He waited for the rosette to say something while he got on his bike.
Sakura hopped on to her sport bike as well whilst glaring. "Naruto, do we have to go to school? We already know everything they would teach us anyway!" she complained her brother, who was wearing a fox-like grin on his face. "Of course we do, it gives us a chance to have friends and actually live a little and this is payback for killing the assassin," Naruto assured her, playfully punching her arm before putting on his helmet.
The rosette rolled her eyes and took off with her brother right behind her. When they got to the school, everything looked normal, nobody was trying to kill them yet, that reassuring. Taking off her helmet, she looked around; everyone seemed to be staring at them.
She looked around the school yard and caught eyes with an apricot-haired man with emotionless eyes just like hers. 'Interesting,' she thought as Naruto patted her back.
"Hey Sakura, I think I'm going to like it here they have nine ramen places," Naruto exclaimed in code which actually meant, "Sakura, does anyone catch your interest?" The rosette nodded her head over to a cherry blossom tree where people all dressed the same like they were in a gang were sitting.
Naruto glanced at them and gave her an almost on-traceable look that said they were nothing to worry about. They started headed towards the doors, hoping no one would bother them. Too bad they were wrong.
Sakura felt a tap on her shoulder. The emerald-eyed rosette turned around, finding a guy with raven-colored hair in the style that reminded her of a chicken's butt and onyx-colored eyes that seem to change to rouge in the light.
"What do you want?" she asked coldly. He overlooked her frozen tone and just smirked smugly. "What I want is you, babe. My name is Sasuke but you can call me whatever you want." He eyed her curves while licking his lips. Naruto grabbed the man by his collar and lifted him off the ground.
"How about I kill you," hissed her overly-protective brother, making it clear that if Sasuke said a more word that he would think twice about killing him. "Naruto, if I wanted your help I would have asked for it" the rosette told him, glaring.
The blonde nodded. "You're lucky, teme. This is your first and last warning, you mess with her and I'll kill you. You think about her in a way that's ungodly, I'll kill you. If you even dare to look or even touch her in the hallway, I'll kill you. You got that?" He released the raven-haired teen from his deadly grip in utter disgust.
With nothing left to say, the siblings turned back around towards the doors. "So you're just going to hide behind your brother? You really are weak!" yelled Sasuke after them. Sakura slowly faced the teen; was he deaf?
She wanted to feel blood on her hands. Not just anyone's blood but the one who dared to call her weak. The next thing everybody knew, Sasuke was on the ground bleeding with Sakura holding his neck. "I do not take too kindly to your words, Sasuke." She let his name roll off her tongue like a poison.
"Now why don't you leave hmm?" The rosette's tone was filled with blood-lust. The onyx-eyed teen fearfully nodded and Sakura let go of his throat. The man ran away without looking back.
Sakura shared an amused smirked with her brother then she frowned. 'Those who do not see the forest for the trees will never know what true pain is and what you can come from it,' she thought bitterly, remembering her unforgotten past and all the innocent lives she ended without a second thought.
Black, that's what all could be seen. Sakura didn't fear it like other kids, she welcomed it. In her cold dark cell, it was her only friend. Light was what she feared. The only time she saw it was when Naruto and she had to go on a kill-trip or mission as her mother called it.
She always wondered what these colors her brother kept talking about were. "You should see it Sakura, everything has a color to it like it's their own," he'd say since in his cell there was a crack in the wall only as big as an eye.
She wished she could see the colors but all she would see was black, white, gray and red. Now she was not color-blind, it was just that she forgot what color was. Light shinned on to her snow-white skin. "Sakura, your mother wants to see you," cruelly called one of her mother's followers, Sayomi.
Sayomi had midnight-black hair that reached her back and terrifying sickly amber eyes. She was the monster's most trusted follower. The rosette nodded, not daring to look the woman in the eye because she knew that if she did well… let's just say nothing good would come from it.
Sayomi smirked, revealing her fang-like teeth. They made their way down the dimly-lighted hallway. They stopped at a door with a symbol of a rose with two spears coming out of it, it was mother's gang sign. Sayomi opened the door and led Sakura inside.
The rosette was greeted with kunai flying at her. She easily dogged them without even looking like she had moved. A cackling laugh vibrated through the air. Inwardly, she shivered, she hated that laugh.
"Sakura, you are going on a solo-mission to Suna. You are to kill the family of Kou Taki. Now go and do not fail me or your brother dies." That was the first and certainly not the last time she had to kill children. That was the day she swore she would kill the one who was called her mother.
She unconsciously move her hand to her jacket pocket, griping on to one of her kunai that she always kept in there just in case. Her heart felt like it was going to explode from the guilt. She pulled the kunai up to her throat, ready to end this wasted life of hers.
'What do you have to live for? Why are you so weak? Just do it! Kill yourself, it will make Naruto happy. Do it!' called a voice inside her head. Sakura clutched her head, trying to get the voice out. 'Come on, don't fight it! Just do it. Everything will be okay after that,' the voice called again.
"Sakura, come on, we need to go inside, the bell just rang." Naruto's voice brought her out of her trance. Sakura inwardly smiled, 'thank you, Naruto.' The rosette nodded and strolled into the school with her brother.
They wittedly made their way down the crowded hallway looking for their classes. They reach Sakura's first. Naruto scoped the rosette into a bear-hug. The blonde got teary-eyed. "You be careful now. If you need me I'll be at…" He glanced at his schedule, "room 234; math class."
The sapphire-eyed teen let go of Sakura and kissed her cheek then walked off but not before looking back to wave as he walked into the room right next to her.
Apparently everybody in the hall decided to stop and watch the little exchange between the brother and sister. Sakura shook her head, thinking her brother could be over-dramatic sometimes. She strolled into room 233 also known as history.
The class room looked just like she thought it would be, there was a teacher's desk, a chalkboard, and student desks all lined up in four rows, it was like a cage. The rosette decided to take the sit in the back left corner, away from the giant windows on the other side of the room.
She did not like the sun for it was light and ever since she could remember, light was never on her side, it let her see the person she was killing, and see the life drain out of their eyes where as the dark would hide it from her like it was a mother protecting her from a sight that children should not see. The dark was more of a mother to her than her own.
"Okay class, welcome to the last few weeks until the end of the school year. My name is Asuma Sarutobi as you know. Since we have a new student, we are going to all introduce by first saying your name then your likes, dislikes, hobbies and dream. Okay, we'll start in the front then make your way to the back," the teacher told, he pulled out the cigarette that hung on the side of his mouth and let it dangle on the edge of the ashtray.
'Asuma Sarutobi? So he's the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the old principle of this school, the one who basically saved my life.'
Sakura was running, running as far away from the guards of Orochimaru. Mother would defiantly not be pleased to learn the assassination of her long-time rival had failed. They were gaining on her quickly; guess this is one of the worst parts of only being ten years old.
One of the guards touched the tip of her hair making her increase her speed. Swiftly several explosive kunai zoomed pasted her and hit the hearts of the security of the snake and exploded. "And what is a little girl of your age doing being chased by guards in the middle of the night?" asked a sweet voice of an old man that the rosette assumed killed her enemy.
Sakura narrowed her eyes, letting the person know that she did not trust them. The old man jumped down from his perch in an oak tree. "I thank you for killing them but I could have done it myself." Her voice sounded weird from not being used in awhile but that didn't hide the emptiness in it.
The old man chuckled, pulled out a long pipe and proceeded to lit it. "Seeing that I saved your life, I think I should at least know your name." He leaned against the base of the oak with a cheerful grin on his face.
The rosette was confused; she had never seen emotions flow freely on someone before, he was defiantly a strange individual. The man was around the age of sixty-six meaning he probably had to have outstanding skills if he would roam this dangerous world at night.
It's best to keep her guard up and answer his question. "My name is Sakura and what is your name?" She rooted her feet deeply into the ground to keep her from running off; she wanted to see if this man in front of her was a friend or a foe.
"I'm Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sakura. Now why were they chasing you?" He was now sitting down on the damp grass underneath the tree.
Sakura didn't know if she should reply or not but before she could stop herself, her mouth spoke for her. "They were chasing me because I tried to kill their leader and they were not very happy about that." Automatically she shut her mouth and used her teeth to bite her tongue.
"So I'm guessing you work for Kasumi?" Sakura nodded, her index finger twitching slightly at hearing her mother's name. "How long have you worked for her?" asked Hiruzen, patting a spot next to him. Hesitantly, the rosette inched over to the sitting man and sat next to him.
"I have worked for her my entire life," she answered, staring at the ground. She could hear Hiruzen nod next to her. "If you ever escape from her or kill her and you have nowhere to go, you can come to Konoha, you will be safe there." After saying that, he got up and left but not before placing a rose in Sakura's rosy hair.
Someone nudged her shoulder. Promptly, she turned her head to face the person. Her gaze landed on a woman with navy hair with a paper flower in it and ashen eyes. The emerald-eyed rosette realized that the woman was one of the ones that were under the cherry blossom tree earlier.
"Yes?" Sakura whispered as the other teen lead to whisper in her ear. "My name is Konan and sorry for bumping you, I just didn't want you to stay in your trance forever." Sakura nodded. "Okay now for the last two, Konan you go first then its pinky," Asuma called, looking at the rosette with interest.
"My name is Konan, I like origami and my friends, I hate people who are annoying, my hobbies are making origami and my dream is to become the greatest origami artist ever," Konan introduced, turning to Sakura.
"My name Sakura, I don't have much stuff I like, I have a lot of stuff I hate, I don't have any hobbies -I think they are a waste of time- and as for my dream… I never really thought about it so I guess I don't have one," told Sakura; not bothering to stand up like everyone else did.
After she was done, everyone was whispering and having the very good hearing she had, she was able to hear some of it. "Well at least we know her name," said a random guy with green hair. Everyone around him nodded in agreement.
The rest of the class was a blur for Sakura; she kept thinking if Naruto was alright, even though they have been apart from each other before, they just got here and she didn't know if it was completely safe.
Finally, the bell rang. Sakura waited until everyone besides for the teacher was out of the room. When the rosette came out she saw some girls mocking Konan. Konan looked like she was about to kill at any second so Sakura thought she should cut in.
Sakura seemed to vanish then reappear in front of the leader of the little group. "Hey bitch, get out of my way," ordered the woman with strawberry-colored hair, matching eyes and lavender glasses.
"You know, bitch is another word for dog and dogs bark, bark is on trees, trees are nature and nature is beautiful. If you really want to insult someone you shouldn't complement them," informed the rosette, a smirk danced across her features.
"Fuck you," sizzled the strawberry-haired lady. "And why would you fuck me?" asked Sakura, tilting her head to the side, her smirk never leaving her face. "In your dreams, whore!" shouted the raging red-head. "So I'm the whore when you want to fuck me?" questioned the calm rosette.
The strawberry-haired teen let out a roar of rage and threw a sloppy punch which Sakura easily caught and twisted until a sickly crack was heard. Sakura rolled her eyes as the still fuming teen let out another roar and tried to kick the rosette.
The ruby-eyed teen's foot was caught and twisted just like her hand. Another sickening crack bounced through the air and echoed throughout the hallway.
Sakura whispered into the almost unconscious woman's ear: "I suggest you get your little buddies to take you to the nurse's office before you pass out and remember, next time I see you bugging anyone, I'm not going to go easy on you." With that said, Sakura knocked out the woman with a swift blow to the neck.
The passed out girl's friends wasted no time carrying her off to the nurse's office, leaving nothing but dust as they scurried down the crowded hall.
Sakura and Konan watched them until they were out of sight. "Thank you." Konan bowed her head in gratefulness. Sakura nodded and disappeared in crowded hall all before the navy-haired woman lifted her head.
