--------------------------
time skip five days
My eyes flutter open and I sit up in bed.I look to Itachi, he's still asleep.I guess I'm up early, then, since he usually gets up earlier than I do.I've been here five days, now.Itachi and I have trained everyday for two hours.I don't know why, but I'm always comparing him to Sasuke.
Sasuke was always cold to me, but Itachi isn't as bad as Sasuke.I mean, at least Itachi compliments me on my strength.At least Itachi doesn't call me weak, or complains to me all the time.At least Itachi isn't as cold as him...I look to the clock.5:47a.m.I sigh.I wonder if I can get out of bed without waking Itachi.Probably not.
I lay back down and stare at the white ceiling.I start to reminence about my old friends.Naruto.Whenever I think about him, I feel like a true traitor.I don't know why, but I think it has do with the Akatsuki trying to capture him.Because now, I'm Naruto's enemy.I think about Tsunade and Kakashi and Ino and all my other friends.I miss them all so much.I wonder if they're trying to find me, or if they even know I'm gone.They probably do.
I try to get my mind off the subject by thinking about the progress I've made with the Akatsuki.I've talked to almost all of them, except Zetsu and the blue-haired member.I don't even know her name.Maybe I'll ask Deidara.Yes, I am now on good terms with Deidara.
He started to act friendly torwards me when I complimented one of his clay birds.I was kind of freaked out when I saw the mouths on his hands, well they still creep me out.But I guess it is kind of cool.I don't talk to Sasori that much, and I think it's strange that he makes puppets out of humans, but we're still on good terms.Anyways, I've only healed Hidan and Kakazu once after they got back from a two day mission.The wounds weren't that bad, but they weren't minor, either.
Now, Hidan and Kakazu call me 'Sakura-san'.I'm glad that I get some respect around here.Diedara calls me 'Sakura-chan', I'm okay with it, but it reminds of Naruto.Kisame calls me kunoichi, I call him Fishy-san, but only behind his back.I know Itachi said show respect to the other members, but what he doesn't know wont hurt him.He calls me 'Haruno-san'.I'm okay with that, too, but I kind of wish he would call me by my first name.
Itachi sits up, and I almost jump.I didn't know he was awake, yet."G'morning, Itachi-san."I say cheerfully once he gets out of bed.As usual, he doesn't reply, but I'm used to that.He opens the closet and pulls out his Akatsuki cloak and puts it on.I follow suit.I've changed my outfit, already.I wear a black button-up shirt with a red cloud on the bottom right-hand corner.I also wear a very dark red skirt that goes to my knees.
We walk out of the room and go torwards the kitchen.No ones here yet, but I'm used to that, since Itachi and I are usually the first ones here."What do you want for breakfast, Itachi-san?"I ask as I look into the fridge.I cook the food for them, since they really can't cook.
"Anything."He says.I roll my eyes.I honestly don't know why I ask him that every morning.I make rice and pork(A/N:Sorry, I don't kinow any Japanese food axcept ramen and riceballs).Diedara and Sasori are the next ones to come down."Mmm...That smells good, un."Says Deidara as he walks behind me and looks over my shoulder.
"Stop drooling on my shoulder, Deidara."I say playfully.He smirks."You're no fun, Sakura-chan."He says in a fake sad voice.I roll my eyes."Is your hair naturally pink?"He asks and plays with a piece of my hair."Yes."I say and jerk my head away so my hair is no longer in his hand.
"Fine, un."He says and walks over to the large kitchen table and sits in front of Sasori.Soon, all the other members has piled into the room.I soon have the breakfast ready and sit it in the center of the table.As usual, Deidara starts to dig in first."This is way better that those stupid servant's food."He said, food flying out of his mouth.
Sasori looked totally disgusted.Anyways, I wasn't supposed to cook, but after seeing how the other members treated the servants, I decided to help them out.Besides, the food they made was bland.There are only three maids here, three young women.They wash clothes, wash the dishes, clean the weapons, scrud the floors and walls, and stuff like that.
The girl who usually makes dinner is Nami.She is in her mid-twenties, she has blue eyes, and short black hair.She has trouble trusting people, even me, although I did assure her I wouldn't hurt her.I'm trying to be her friend..."You should eat more, Sakura-chan."Deidara said looking over at me.I'm between him and Itachi.
I look down at my plate.I don't have much on it...but I've never really eaten much.Well, I did when I was younger, before I met Sasuke.I went on diet, so maybe Sasuke would like me.But...
"...I'm not very hungry."I say and stand.Diedara looks up at me."Are you sure.I've noticed you look kind of...unhealthy, un."He said.I sahke my head and smile."Really, I'm fine."I say and walk off.I say once I'm at my and Itachi's room.Do I really look unhealthy?
I open the door and go into the bathroom that's connected to Itachi's room.I look in the mirror.The person staring back looks sickly, very unhealthy.I fist my hands.I didn't think Sasuke would hurt me physically.And he didn't even know he was doing it.He would probably laugh if I told him that.
I close my eyes and a single tear escapes them.I quickly wipe the tear away, wipe the emotion away.I inhale deeply, and exhale slowly, trying to calm myself.I walk out of the bathroom and sit on the bed.I lie down and start singing;something I've made a habit of.
When you walk away
you don't hear me say
Please, oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
You're getting me
too many things, lately
You're all I need
Oh, you smiled at me
And said,
Don't get me wrong I love you,
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
what I meant when I said,
No, I don't think life is quite that simple.
When you walk away
you don't hear me say
Please, oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
(so simple and clean)
The daily things
(Like this, and that, and what)
That keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me
And said,
Wish I could prove I love you
but does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
and maybe, somethings are that simple
When you walk away
you don't hear me say
Please, oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Unbeknownst to me, a raven-haired Uchiha stands outside the bedroom, listening to my words intently.
Hold me
What ever lies beyond this morning
is a little later on
Regardless of warnings
The future doesn't scare me at all
Nothings like before
When you walk away
you don't hear me say
Please, oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
What ever lies beyond this morning
is a little later on
Regardless of warnings
The future doesn't scare me at all
Nothings like before
Hold me
What ever lies beyond this morning
is a little later on
Regardless of warnings
The future doesn't scare me at all
Nothings like before
Once I finish the song, I just lay there and stare up at the ceiling.Not really thinking about anything, I just want some peace and quiet.But, my hopes of quietness are gone once I hear an explosion, and a loud curse.I sigh.Deidara must've blown up something of Hidan's.
I would usually go and break it up, but this time I wont.I went back into the bathroom, and took a shower.I put the shampoo in my hair and wash it out.A smile graces my lips when I remember when Itachi took me to a store to buy clothes and other peronal stuff.After about two hours, I met back with Itachi.He said I took too long.I had giggled and told him that girls naturally take long.He gave me a strange look, but it quickly vanished when he turned and walked away, me on his heels.
I get out of the shower ans wrap a white towel tightly around my slim structure.I open the door and squeak when I see Itachi there.A blush spreads over my cheeks, his emotionless face doesn't falter."W-what do you want?"I ask hurridly.He raises up his arm, he has a small wound.
My eyes widen when I notice it's still bleeding.I want to ask what happened, but I don't want him to lose anymore blood.I gently push him back and tell him to sit on the bed.He does and I bed down so I can see the wound from a better angle, my towel still wrapped around me.
I clear my throat."I need you to take off your shirt, Itachi-san."I say as my blush grows redder.He first takes off his Akatsuki robe, trying to not move his arm as much as possible.He then takes off his shirt, and grimaces when some of the cloth sticks to his blood.
I gently put my hands on the wound and start to heal it.I look up to his face, his expression seems more relaxed.I then look back down to his uncovered torso.He's so HOT!Says my Inner Self.I wished that she had died...I try to focus on the wound, instead of his six-pack.
"Haruno-san."I look up at Itachi."Hmm?"I say."You're done."He replies.I look down at his arm and quickly release my grip on him;the wound is healed.My face turns even redder, Itachi raises his eyebrow."Heh, yeah, well, umm...you're healed and so I'll just leave."I say quickly and head for the door.
"Haruno-san."I stop and look back at him."Yes, Itachi-san?"I say."You're still only in a towel."I look down and my whole face turns red.I nod and quickly go back into the bathroom.I sigh and try to get my heart to stop beating so fast.Hehehehehehe...You soooo have the hots for him.I roll my eyes.'Stop talking nonscence, and die.'I say bitterly.I almost laugh at the thought of me and Itachi.Hahahahaha...
...Well, maybe it isn't as funny as I thought...
