Disclaimer: HOLY CRAP I STILL DON'T OWN NARUTO!!! 0.o lol but I guess I own this story, soooo lets get on shall we? ^^ Oh, and sorry if it's a little boring, this is only because it's all leading up to the ACTION!!! =D Now read on my little duckies =D


~START~

"Who are you?, who am I?"

The young, pink haired girl asked in an innocent voice as she continued looking at the two strangers in front of her, blinking multiple times as she patiently waited for a reply. The two strange men in front of her just looked at each other, each not knowing what to say as they both thought of the situation. Finally the blue skinned man who the raven haired man called Kisame, scratched the back of his head as he turned his gaze back down at her.

"Uhhh, excuse us one minute"

And with that being said Kisame stood up, followed by the raven haired man as they both made there way to the entrance of the cave, just close enough so they didn't get rained on. Once they were both from hearing distance from the young girl they took glances at one another, still feeling shocked at what just happened.

Itachi and Kisame

"Alright Itachi, What the hell is going on? Why doesn't the little brat remember anything?."

Kisame said in a hushed tone so the young girl wouldn't hear them. Itachi turned his head to look back at the young girl who was now looking down, fiddling with her scratched head band as she coughed a few times from the cold she had probably caught. She even has a smile on her face as she stared into her head band.

'Why? Why does this young girl still smile even when she is oblivious to her surroundings?. And that she is around strangers, she doesn't even remember that we were the one's who caused this to happen to her?. Even her eyes are still the same, they still have that innocent light in them. Though no matter what, I am still responsible for her by Leader-sama's orders, she cannot be free...ever...'

Itachi thought in his head as he continued to stare at the young kuinochi. Kisame grew tired of his lack of any response as he lifted his Samehada to his right shoulder.

"Itachi!"

"It should be obvious...Kisame..." Kisame blinked at his partners response as he leaned over a little to listen. Itachi looked back at him. "When she fell off that cliff, she must have hit her head on one of the rocks when she was being dragged by the heavy current. Now she doesn't remember anything in her past"

"Well is it temporary? When will she get her memory back?"

"I'm not sure, in most cases they last for a short time...but in other occasions they are permanent"

Kisame frowned at this, as well as Itachi. Being who he is, Kisame couldn't help but feel a bit of sorrow for the young girl, and for Itachi...well his expressions towards this still remains unreadable. Kisame then sighs.

"So what are we going to do? Do we kill her?"

"Are you blind...Kisame?" Kisame's eyes slightly widen with confusion at his partner when he said this.

"What are you talking about Itachi?"

"I am merely saying that this could be to our advantage" Itachi said in his emotionless voice as Kisame looked at him with even more confusion.

"Oh!? How so?" Kisame asked, obviously interested in what his partner has in mind.

"You know that she is a kuinochi from the Leaf Village right? And that she may strongly have an acquaintance with the Kyuubi child correct?" Itachi questioned with his eyes closed.

"Yeah, and?"

"Since she has an acquaintance with the Kyuubi child, he is most likely out there searching high and low for his lost friend" Kisame smirked at his partners idea.

"Aw! I get it, so you plan is to use her as bait so instead of us risking to go after the Kyuubi brat ourselves, he'll simply just come to us and attempt to save his precious, lost friend"

Kisame said sinisterly in more of a statement then question. Itachi simply nodded once at his partner, his eyes still closed.

"Precisely, And if that doesn't work, once she regains her memory we can merely force her to tell us exactly where the Kyuubi child is" Itachi stated as Kisame still had a sinister smirk on his face.

"Heh! I like how you think Itachi" Kisame commented.

"...Ummm...excuse me..."

A small, innocent voice spoke out, interrupting the two men as they both look down to see the young kuinochi staring up at them with her arms wrapped tightly around the cloak Itachi had lend to her. One of her hands gripping tightly to her head band.

"Umm... I apologize to interrupt, but...Do you know who I am? Or where my home is?"

The young kuinochi asked innocently. Judging by the way she looks and is talking she did not hear what Itachi and Kisame were talking about, which is a good thing for them. They both took a few seconds before Itachi finally answered.

"...Your name is Haruno Sakura, and your a kuinochi from the Hidden Leaf Village"

Sakura's eyes widen brightly as she blinked a few times, taking all this new information inside.

"My name is...Haruno Sakura?...I'm from the Hidden Leaf Village?"

Itachi and Kisame merely nodded as Kisame raised his Samehada and placed it down next to him, still gripping the handle.

"Yeah! We uhhh found you being dragged into a river that you must have fallen into, So we saved you, well me mostly." Kisame said with a big smirk s Itachi narrowed his eyes at him for a second.

"Y-You, saved me?...Well...I must thank the both of you...Ummm tell me, what are your names again?"

"Well, I'm Hoshigaki Kisame and the dead looking guy right here is my partner Uchiha Itachi, Were both from an organization called the Akatsuki"

Kisame pointed at Itachi with his thumb as he said his name, Itachi just glared at Kisame for his unnecessary comment, but decided to let it go for now. Sakura then gave them a small smile as she coughed again.

"Well, It's nice to meet you both...But do you guys know where my home is? I'm sort of lost"

"Hm! No problem kid! But before we tell you, why don't you come with us, and join the Akatsuki. There, all your questions will be answered"

Sakura's eye's lighten up. "Really? I can join you?"

"Sure! I can sense you have some talent in you kid...You'll be perfect for our group"

Kisame said with a light grin plastered on his face as Sakura gave them both a smile as she happily tighten her grip on the Akatsuki cloak in her arms.

"Really?...Ok!, I'll join you!"

Sakura said happily as the hard rain had finally ceased. All three of them look up at the sky, until Kisame finally spoke again.

"Finally the rain stopped! Well Sakura! Lets go to your 'new' home where you can meet our Leader"

'Why do I have a feeling this whole thing isn't going to end well?...for both of us...' Itachi thought as him and Kisame started walking, as the young kuinochi followed close behind.

Sakura, Itachi and Kisame...In the middle of the forest

Itachi, Kisame and Sakura walked together through the now much lighter, yet still wet forest. Since it had already stopped raining and the sun was shining brightly above them. Sakura had already gave Itachi back his cloak while she only held her scratched head band in her hands. Sakura was walking in between the two, Itachi being in the left side and Kisame to her right.

"Soo ummm...What is the 'Akatsuki' like?" Sakura asked curiously to break the silence between them as she looked up at the two men.

"Well...It's a little ruff at first, But you'll get use to it. Itachi joined Akatsuki when he was around your age, In fact he's from the same village your from"

Kisame explained as he pointed to Itachi with his thumb as Sakura looked back up at Itachi, blinking a few times, his gaze never meeting hers as he just kept walking.

"Really?" Sakura smiled at Itachi. "What's the village like Itachi?"

Itachi still didn't looked at her as his eyes narrowed thinking about why he left that village in the first place. His hand twitched at the memories of...'that' night.

"There nothing...but thieving traitors..., Only cared about themselves, and war..."

Itachi finally spoke in a tone as if he were dead. Sakura's eyes widen a bit at his words. Itachi wasn't even thinking of the village when he said that, for he was only thinking of his...own clan, though they were all already dead. Except for one ofcourse. Sakura didn't want to believe any of this, her head had then slumped down.

"It...can't be true..." Sakura mumbled so quiet they could barely hear her.

"Oh, It is true. Otherwise why do you think Itachi joined us in the first place?. In fact, come to think of it, your village probably just deserted you"

"THEY WOULDN'T!!!" Sakura yelled out as she looked up at Kisame, who only smirked.

"Well then explain why you were all alone when we found you?. Your 'village' would have found you already!, they do have one of the best trackers there is. They probably thought you were to weak to be apart of the village and abandoned you. So your just like us...a missing-nin"

Sakura gasped with her mouth hung open. She then put her head down, she didn't need to hear anymore of this. Because he was right, if they really wanted to find her they would have found her already, right?.

'Is this all true? Should I really trust these men?'

Sakura thought in a sad tone. Kisame saw this and finally spoke.

'Don't worry kid, were not like them! We won't abandon you. We'll treat you like one of us"

Kisame said to cheer her up, even though it was just all 'part of the plan'. Sakura's face lit up as she looked up at Kisame, with a small smile on her pale face, she was still sick from being out in all that rain after all.

"Ok! Thanks-...*cough*"

Kisame still had his smirk on his face he and Itachi took glances at one another before finally reaching the Akatsuki base.

FF Still Sakura, Itachi and Kisame...At the Akatsuki base...

Itachi and Kisame walked through the halls of the Akatsuki base towards Leader's office as Sakura trailed behind looking in awe around the base. It was still pretty empty since most of the Akatsuki members are still out on missions. and won't be back for who knows when. Itachi and Kisame stopped at a door as Sakura stood behind them. Itachi knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

A dark voice said outside the door which made Sakura jump a bit as Itachi walked in. Sakura was about to walk in as well until Kisame stopped her.

"Uhh, We'll just wait out here, there are a few things you need to know before seeing Leader-sama"

Kisame said to Sakura as Itachi closed the door lightly as he stepped forward and bowed in respect for the Leader as his shadow like appearance stared at him. As if he already knew what was going on, he did call himself a 'God' after all.

Itachi

"Itachi...I see you have brought the young girl from your old village back. For what is it this time?"

Leader asked him as his eyes glowed even from his shadow like form. Itachi then started explaining the whole 'plan' to him.

5 minutes later

"Ah, I see. Well I did sense a spark of remarkable power she had the first time I spoke with her that none of us in this organization had. She could be of good use to us then to just use her as bait for the Kyuubi child."

Leader explained as his eyes were closed the whole time he spoke. Itachi only nodded his head once before speaking again.

"Yes, as did I. She was the fifth Hokage's student after all." Leader nodded at this.

"I see. Well bring the girl in then, I need to speak with her."

"Yes...Leader-sama..."

Itachi spoke as he walked towards the door about to open it, until he stopped as he looked back at his Leader.

"But remember, she did lose her memory so she knows nothing of her past" Itachi reminded him.

"I'm aware"

The Leader said as Itachi nodded and opened the door to see Kisame and Sakura waiting behind it as Kisame told her some things she may need to know like calling the Leader, Leader-sama. Sakura nodded as she saw Itachi as he motioned her to go inside. Sakura nodded and ran inside.

Sakura

Sakura slowly entered the Akatsuki Leader's office. She was a little shaky but she didn't want to show she was a little nervous to meet him. She looked up to see a shadow like figure a few feet in front of her as she remembered to bow in respect.

"There's no need to be afraid young kuinochi. I just wish to merely talk to you"

Sakura stood up straight as she nodded. Itachi was still in the room, standing next to the door to hear what he thinks of her.

"Y-Yes, Leader...sama" Sakura spoke with more courage as she also thought.

'He can sense my fear, Just who, or what is this guy?'

"So, Itachi here tells me a lot about you. And how your 'village' had deserted you because you were to…weak?"

"Yes..."

Sakura replied lightly with her head slightly down at the memory from when they told her about her village.

"I see, well just by just looking your eye's...Sakura...I can sense a great power in you...That your old village probably never noticed…" Leader spoke as he stared at Sakura with glowing eye's.

"Really?"

Sakura asked, not believing she would actually have a strong power in her. Just what is this power that he speaks of?.

"Yes, and since I know you have no where else to go...How would you, Sakura, like to join the Akatsuki?"

Sakura perked up a little as she blinked a few times. Sakura thought about it for a minute as a small smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, Leader-sama, I would be honored!"

"Very well then, And everyone of the members of the Akatsuki will train you, also, I'm unsure when but you will be given a test to prove your loyalty, so expect that. And that is all I need to say. Welcome to the Akatsuki...Haruno Sakura..."

Leader spoke as Sakura bowed again with in gratitude with a few coughs in between as she covered her mouth with her hands.

"And be sure to get some rest for that cold also"

"Yes, Leader-sama"

Sakura spoke as she sniffled a little, the smile never leaving her face. But her mind had a different approach to all of this.

'Why do I have a bad feeling about all this? Am I making the right choice?. Well even so, where am I suppose to go if my village doesn't even want me? I'll show them I can be strong, I'll prove it to everyone!'

Outside the door

Kisame waited a little impatiently as he leaned against the wall opposite of the door, his sword standing next to him. He grunted at how long it was taking.

'You better know what your doing Itachi. I still can't believe he insisted on letting that little brat join us, it better be worth it at the end'

Kisame thought as the door to the Leader's office finally opened, interrupting Kisame from his thoughts as he sees Sakura and Itachi walking out.

"So, how did it go?"

Kisame asked. Sakura was still smiling as she stood in front of Kisame.

"Leader-sama made me a new member of the Akatsuki, and all of the Akatsuki members are to train me"

"Oh really? Already? Well congratulations kid"

Sakura giggled a little, she was excited about all this. Though she couldn't shake off this weird feeling that she was forgetting something, that this whole thing will end in disaster unless she leaves, but she tried to shake it off. What could go possibly wrong?.

Though unknown to all of them, someone had been watching them this whole time, and that person stood in the end of the hall, hiding behind a wall, listening in on what they were saying. He hid his chakra so they couldn't sense him as the figure leaned onto the wall, his arms crossed. As he smirked under his...orange mask.

Tobi/Madara

"So, he let her join the Akatsuki did he? After all I was the one who unlocked her cell door and 'Tobi' let her free. This could be interesting, even after I tried to get rid of her myself without killing her, she comes back as the new Akatsuki member with no memory at all. Hmp, I'll let her stay, she might probably get her self already killed in less then a week anyway"

'Madara' paused for a moment while he spoke lowly in a more serious tone. The smirk never leaving his face, despite his mask.

"They have no idea what they have gotten themselves into…Well, I won't get rid of her, but that doesn't mean someone else won't...Because 'Tobi'...is still a good boy..."


Oooooo Tobi isn't such a good boy after all 0.o oh and yes I read all the reveiws and I understand there are some questions you all ask, well I can only answer them here so read it...

Ok first of all for the first question on the review, from . asked this. Why do I add caps in the begining in the middle of the words like "Just A Random Sentence So Just Ignore It" well...to tell you the truth...I'm not sure, it's a habit, and it's pretty much my way of when people are talking but they "DO NOT YELL LIKE THIS LOUD" but they don't talk normal like "like this but who cares?" But I can stop if it's really bothering you ^^ Like I said I'm still not the best writer ever =P

Ok question 2...or more like comment by Narutogirl3, yes I know I spelled some stuff wrong, I'm probaly the worst speller ever =P But everyone makes mistakes, like me I make alot of stupid ones ^_^'

And question number three also by Narutogirl3, about who I think Tobi is, if I take him as Madara Uchiha, or Obito or just an imagined Tobi. Well obviously after you read the last part of the story I take Tobi as Madara Uchiha because...well he IS Madara Uchiha, I don't really know why people still think he is Obito when he admited himself he was Mardara Uchiha in the manga =P well I do know a couple reasons but I'm to lazy to write them down =P

Well hopefully I answered all your questions, so if any of you have any more questions, comments, confusions, tell me in the reveiw and I'll try to answer all of them in the next chapter because I still don't know how to work the PM thing -___- Yeah I'm that slow lol =P

ANYWAYS!!! Hope you liked the chapter anyways ^^ I'll get the next one up as fast as I can. Which will be hard because I have to go back to school very soon . which sucks but I will still finish the story, so please no rush me ^_^ Please review anyways, still keeps me motivated =D and Kakuzu will buy you candy ^^

Kakuzu: "No I won't!!!!!"

Me: "Oh yes you wil!!!" =D
