~START~
Sakura, Itachi and Kisame
"Thanks Kisame, I hope I do well"
Sakura stated as she thought about all the things should might do to mess up, after all she was a little clumsy, a little bit of a cry baby, afraid of a lot of things, not that strong, doesn't have any special talent, or ability. This all made her have doubts, she just might get in the way. Her eyes narrowed sadly as her head hung down a little thinking about all this.
"Hey kid, what's up with you? Why do you look sad? You should have more confidence."
Kisame spoke up breaking Sakura's trance as she blinked a few times and looked up at him. He was so tall and strong while she was just small and vulnerable.
"I...I...don't know...What if I'm not good enough, What if I only get in the way?...I am weak after all...."
"Now don't say that kid! Your an Akatsuki now, and unlike your 'old village' we'll treat you like family. You don't have to worry about anything, just wait, I can teach you everything I know, to us your never weak"
A small, yet confident smile formed on Sakura's pale face. She felt warm inside from his words, like it reminded her of a long lost...friend of some sorts. But that's nothing to her anymore, she's an Akatsuki now, she has to do her best in order to fit in. If that's even possible.
"Thanks Kisame...-cough-"
Sakura said in a more happier mood as she sniffed a little from her cold, to her surprise her cold wasn't that bad, just a few coughs here and there. Well the Leader did say she had talent, wonder what he means by that. Kisame smirked at Sakura's happier mood, though all this acting as the-good-guy routine wasn't really his thing, though he has to so she doesn't get to suspicious. Though other then that he's starting to take a liking to the young kuinochi, she wasn't as annoying as the others.
'I can't believe this little brat is actually buying all this crap, she has no idea what she has gotten herself into. I wonder how long she'll last in this organization. Though it would be quit a shame to lose her, she's not as annoying as that little brat Tobi!' Kisame thought as a grin appeared on his face. 'It's sort of amusing how this little runt made Akatsuki before Tobi did, and how many times has that masked idiot tried already?. Hmm perhaps this little brat isn't as 'weak' as she says she is, I don't think Leader-sama would only let her join because of Itachi's plan. There's something else, I wonder what it could be...'
Sakura's smile widen as her emerald eyes lightened up, despite her cold. She coughed a few more times as she was about to say something, until-
"HEY! WHAT'S THE PRISONER DOING BACK HERE?!? UN I THOUGHT SHE-..AHH!"
A blond haired, blue 'eyed' man in the same black and red cloak yelled out as he pointed at Sakura, though he made the mistake of standing next to Kisame as he punched him in the face before he could even finish his sentence. This confused Sakura as she looked at the new figure and blinked a few times.
"P-Prisoner?"
Sakura asked as Kisame quickly dragged the now beat up blond man with him as they both went a distance from the confused kuinochi so she wouldn't hear. Kisame grunted in irritation as he hoisted the now dazed out artist up by his collar and got in his face to make sure he was listening.
"Listen blondy! The 'prisoner' isn't a prisoner anymore!. She lost her memory so she doesn't remember being a prisoner."
"What!?"
The blond artist who's now recovered from that blow in the face yelled in a hushed tone so Sakura couldn't hear them. Kisame then sighed as he continued in a hushed tone.
"Yeah, And Itachi has this plan to use her to get to the Kyuubi brat so Leader-sama also made her an Akatsuki member"
"WHAT?!?"
Deidara yelled in shock as Kisame signaled him to shut his mouth. Even this guy annoyed him just as much as Tobi did.
"Yeah! I don't like it as much as you, but it's to late, Leader-sama already made her a member. So don't you dare say anything about her being a prisoner to her, or the whole the plan is screwed, you understand!?!"
Kisame more like threatened then asked him with an agree-or-I-will-painfully-kill-you-in-your-sleep face. As the now scared and nervous artist who just nodded his head quickly in understandment. Kisame then grinned at his answer as he then let go of Deidara's collar making him lose his footing and fall down on his bottom.
Sakura smiled and giggled at Kisame who was talking to the blond man who looked as if he were about to pee himself. Sakura then blinked a few times before turning around. "Hey Itachi don't you-..." Sakura started but stopped as she looked around confusedly. Itachi was already gone.
'H-He's gone…I wonder where Itachi went...I didn't even notice him leave...he's such a mysterious person...'
Sakura thought to herself with a semi-disappointed face. She wanted to learn more about him, he was so quiet and mysterious, almost like someone she knew a long time ago, though she still couldn't remember. Sakura sighed as Kisame walked up behind her, followed by the blond man who mumbled a few curses as he continued to brush himself off after falling on the ground just now.
"Hey kid, what's wrong with you?"
Kisame asked interrupting her from her wondering thoughts as she perked her head up at the sound of his voice and turned to look at the two men standing there looking down at her questioningly, waiting for an answer.
"Oh...uhh...It's nothing Kisame, I was just wondering where Itachi went, he just suddenly left..." Sakura said almost disappointedly.
"Oh, Itachi...well, he does that, he's not a very social person if you haven't noticed. Sometimes he just disappears" Kisame said like it was nothing to him, like he did this all the time. She wondered why though, she wondered what could be going on in that dark, lonely mind of his. Kisame then cleared his throat forcing Sakura to come out of her daze as she blankly looked at him.
"Well anyways kid, I gotta go find Itachi and see what he's up to. Just stay with blondy for now, he'll show you to your room, seeya later" Kisame said with a grin as he started walking out of the hallway with his Samehada raised up to his shoulder.
"What?!" The blond grunted in annoyance at him as he was about to protest, but Kisame was already out of sight leaving him with the confused, harmless little pink haired girl who only stared up at the blond stranger.
'This man looks familiar too...blond hair...blue eye...'
Sakura thought as she examined him some more as she heard him mumble a few curses at Kisame. Something tells her that they didn't get along well, wonder why. The blond man then sighed as he turned his glance back at Sakura who was just staring up at him blankly for a minute, until a nice, polite smile appeared on her face.
"Um, Hello 'Blondy' , my name is Haruno Sakura, It's nice to meet you." Sakura greeted bowing politely as a vain appeared on his head.
"My name is not 'blondy' kid, it's Deidara un." Deidara corrected in an irritated tone as he then sighed, calming himself down before he spoke again.
"Well, I'll let that one go, I guess I can put with you, you don't seem as annoying as that idiot Tobi un. Come on, I'll show you to your room un."
Deidara told her as he started down the hallway, the opposite way where Kisame had left. Sakura watched him as she finally chose to follow him, she walked beside him, still feeling bad for calling him 'blondy'. She figured he didn't like that name very much, though she's one to talk, her hair is pink for goodness sake.
"So, umm Deidara...-cough-" Sakura spoke with a small cough, trying to break the awkward silence between them as they both walked down numerous hallways and up a few stairs.
"Yeah..."
"Umm, do all Akatsuki members not get along? You and Kisame don't seem to get along well..."
"Oh...well sometimes we get along, sometimes we don't. But we all work well together I guess un. It's probably not easy for you since your the new member and all, it wasn't easy for me either when I first became an Akatsuki member un. I didn't even want to join in the first place...I was forced to un."
Deidara said as he thought back to when he was just a missing-nin from Iwagakure, acting as a terrorist bomber for hire, before the Akatsuki found him and was forced to join. This memory made Deidara tense a bit, as his fingers twitched. Sakura saw this and gave him a sympathetic look.
"But, It doesn't really matter now, I eventually came to like it here, and you will to un. Just give it time, you'll get use to it un"
Deidara said as his fingers stopped twitching. She could tell he wasn't lying, she then gave him a small smile. "Ok, Deidara...I'll try my best, I'll prove to everyone I'm not just some weak little girl, those people from my old village will regret ever abandoning me!"
Sakura yelled out with her hand clenched into a fist. Just the thought of her own village doing this to her just made her sick, no wonder Itachi had left. Deidara saw the confidence and slight anger in her eyes as a smirk formed on his face.
'Even though she is no longer a prisoner…I still feel sorry for the poor thing...being forced to be here because of Itachi...just like me un...'
Deidara thought as they finally reached a door in a hallway as he stopped next to it, making Sakura also stop as she stared at the door. Deidara then opened it as Sakura poked her head around inside the room to get a look at it.
"This will be your room, mines right next door incase you need me. You can stay in here while I go get your-"
"DEIDARA-SENPAI!!!"
"Awww great..." Deidara grunted after a loud, cheery voice screamed making Sakura jump in surprise as she looked to her left to see a man who, unlike the others, was not in an Akatsuki cloak ran up to us. But what confused her the most was the odd looking orange mask covering his face. The masked man was about to run to Deidara until he glanced over to Sakura and gasped.
"SAKURA-CHAN!!! YOU CAME BACK!!!" The masked man yelled out happily as he ran up and gave Sakura a bear hug, literally squeezing the life out of her. "TOBI HAS MISSED YOU SAKURA-CHAN!!! TOBI THOUGHT YOU WERE NEVER COMING BACK-"
BOOM!!!!!
The masked man who referred himself as 'Tobi' yelled, but was interrupted with a loud 'Bang' as an explosion appeared literally blasting Tobi off of Sakura as Tobi flew across the hallway, landing roughly on his bottom, while Sakura was merely pushed a bit from the impact, but wasn't harmed. Though she couldn't say the same for Tobi who was still on the ground, rubbing his sore bottom as he glanced over at Deidara, obviously the cause of the sudden explosion.
"Deidara-senpai! Why did you blow Tobi up again? Tobi only wanted to welcome Sakura-chan back, because Tobi is a good boy!! Ahh!-"
The masked man named Tobi said as he stood back up but was interrupted when Deidara ran up to him, his face to his ear as if he were whispering something to him. This left a confused looking Sakura standing there dumbfounded as she couldn't hear a word what Deidara was whispering to Tobi.
'H-How did he know my name?...I've never met him before...have I?'
Sakura thought as she watched Deidara continuing to whisper to Tobi, as Tobi nodded and gasped a few times. They both finally stopped as Tobi looked a little shocked, despite his mask. Deidara stood up straight looking at him.
"Do you understand now Tobi? un. She's a new member now" Deidara said to him as Tobi nodded in understandment. "Yes senpai! Tobi understands everything now! Poor Sakura-chan" Tobi said the last part in a whisper so Sakura couldn't hear.
Sakura continued to stare at them with a confused look, it's either her cold has finally got to her head, or there all trying to hide something from her, and she has a huge feeling that it's the second one. Sakura was about to question the both of them when she started coughing again, this time uncontrollably where she had to bend down and cover her mouth.
'Though I could be wrong, maybe this cold has gotten into my head'
"SAKURA-CHAN!! ARE YOU OK?!?" Tobi yelled out with worry as he ran up to her when she finally ceased her coughing and stood back straight up. Before she could say anything Tobi stopped in front of her, gently placing his hand on her forehead to feel her temperature, despite that he was wearing gloves. Tobi gasped.
"Sakura-chan you have a fever!!" Tobi yelled out as Deidara quickly stood next to him.
"Tobi leave her alone! Screaming at her isn't going to make her better! un"
"Nonsense senpai!" Tobi yelled at his senpai as he looked back at Sakura, his voice more calm. "Don't worry Sakura-chan! Tobi will make you feel better! because Tobi is a good boy!! Tobi will be back!!"
And with that, Tobi was gone, he ran out of the hallway, as if there was a fire. Sakura and Deidara watched him leave until he was fully out of sight. Sakura, still standing there confused, not remembering what she was going to say as Deidara sighed and looked back at Sakura.
"Oh yeah that's Tobi, don't mind him, he's just an idiot un. Here why don't you just go in your room and rest a little and I'll go get you your Akatsuki cloak" Deidara offered in a more nicer tone as Sakura smiled up at him.
"I will, Thanks Deidara."
Deidara nodded as Sakura walked into her new room as she lightly closed the door behind her, she sighed taking in all that has happened. Her village left her for dead, she lost her memory, two strangers saved her and offered her to join a mysterious organization for some odd reason, she met a guy who looks as if he's never smiled his whole life, a shark-like man, a man who only has a shadowy appearance, and man who obviously loves explosions, and a boy in a mans body who wears an odd looking orange mask. All in one day, wonder what will happen tomorrow.
Sakura thought about it for a moment as she then looked around her new room, leaning on the door as she examines everything. There was a good sized bed in the left corner of the room, with a small night stand next to it. There was a few dressers and shelves full of books in the middle on the far wall and on the right side was a big window with a nice view, and another door next to it guessing it lead to a bathroom or something.
'Well this is a nice room...though why can't I shake off this weird feeling I have...I know all these guys are planning something...but what? Otherwise, why would they let a little squirt like me join them? It doesn't make any sense.' Sakura thought as she slowly walked over to the bed, and sat down on it, staring down at the floor, she coughed a few times as she covered her mouth with her palms. Though I guess I should just take Leader-sama and Deidara's advice and just rest for now, I'm useless to them if I'm sick...though when Deidara first saw me, he said I was a…prisoner? And when Tobi first saw me…he knew my name before I told him, and I'm pretty sure I've never seen him before, have I?. Though maybe It's safer to not question them, these guys are all strong ninja, they could kill me anytime they want…So I guess it's better to keep quiet and find out on my own, because something fishy is going on here, and I'm going to find out what it is…'
Sakura thought as she then slowly laid herself down onto the bed, pulling the sheets over her small body as she slowly made her way into a deep sleep. Though, unknown to her, or any of the Akatsuki members, a small figure hiding in the shadows was watching her through her window, it was watching her this whole time as it silently hissed and slithered away into the darkness…..
Unknown area, in a hidden base
The dark figure chuckled a snake like laughter as he sat on his chair, an evil grin plaster on his face, as his snake like tongue slipped out of his mouth, gliding along his lips. Until a different figure walked in, shutting the door, running over to the sitting figure with a desperate face on.
"Orochimaru-sama, It's about the Akatsuki, they-"
"I'm already aware, Kabuto." Orochimaru interrupted him in a sly snake-like tone, the grin never leaving his face as Kabuto stared slightly at him wide eyed.
"You already knew?, but how could-"
"Hmp, Well, it seems Itachi and has made Sasuke-kun's little pink haired partner an Akatsuki member, even after she had lost her memory. The poor dear, she has no idea what she has gotten herself into…"
Orochimaru said in his hissed like voice, as he glanced at the little snake slithering across the room, it's fork-like tongue hissing out of it's mouth, exactly how the snake in the forest did, because that snake was the same snake back in the forest that Sakura had bumped into while trying to escape the Akatsuki base. It had been watching her since then.
"I wonder how long she will last in that dreaded organization. Though the Akatsuki will only be a nuisance to me after I've fulfilled my plans with Sasuke-kun. I have no choice but to eliminate them all one by one...and I'll save the little pink haired kuinochi for last, I have special plans for her"
Orochimaru stated as a chuckle escaped his lips, Kabuto who was only grinning evilly at the thought of his plan for her. Though it was unknown to them that another figure was watching them both, hearing the whole thing as he stared at them with his Sharingan eyes.
'So...Sakura, joined the Akatsuki. Out of all people, why did Itachi take her? she doesn't have anything special for them that they could use...or does she?…First he destroys my entire clan, now he's forced my old partner to join that organization, even when she has somehow lost her memory…he'll pay…they'll all pay…'
Well I bet you can all guess who the person was eavesdropping on Orochimaru and Kabuto ^^ and if you don't *cough* Sasuke *cough* ^^ And yes if you are confused, Orochimaru was spying on them with that snake Sakura saw back in chapter 3 I think ^^ That sneaky badger lol Whoa I just noticed...Sakura now has two stalkers! 0.o well maybe Itachi to if you want to add him to the Sakura stalker list =P
