Disclaimer: Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't own Naruto and neither do YOU!! lol but seriously why do we need to say 'Disclaimer' if we already know no one on this site owns anything of Naruto?! But anyways, on with this super delayed story where I should have continued off a long ass time ago ^^'

Naruto

The young blonde shinobi continued to run as fast as he could, to find his lost friend and comrade, even when the chances of finding her are very slim. He continued to run through the forest in the darkness of the night.

'Hang on Sakura, I'll find you and bring you back, even if it takes me the rest of my life!!!. I promise you that!!!'

Naruto thought as his pants and the shaking of the leaves in the trees echoed the dark forest...Until, a slight 'crack' was heard behind the young shinobi. Making him immediately stop in his tracks, turning around to face this hidden enemy as he raised his kunai in front of him. A small growl passed his lips.

"Show yourself, I know your back there!!" The blonde shinobi ordered as he tightened his grip on his weapon, ready for anything that might be thrown at him.

"Naruto..."

A small, deep voice spoke in Naruto's ear, making him gasp and jump in surprise, his heart skipped a beat as he quickly turned around to face the owner of the voice. With his tall figure, spiky white hair, and a mask to cover his identity, it was none other then Naruto's mentor, Kakashi. Naruto's eyes widened, and jaw dropped in surprise as he put away his weapon.

"K-Kakashi-sensei!? What!? How did you-" Naruto was lost in his own words as Kakashi stood in front of him, hands in pockets, having a serious look in his eye.

"The Hokage sent me to help you find Sakura. Though I would have gone anyway, Sakura was my student after all."

Kakashi answered in serious, yet guiltful tone. As though he were responsible of Sakura's disappearance. Naruto sighed in relief.

"Well I'm glad you came Kakashi-sensei, something tells me I might need your help in finding Sakura." Naruto turned around, his back to his sensei, determination in his eyes. "We need to find Sakura, something tells me she's in danger, and I promise I won't let anything happen to her, I'll travel around the whole world if that's what it takes to get her back!."

"Naruto..."

Kakashi whispered, hearing the determination in his former student, doing whatever it takes to get his lost friend back, he was a true shinobi. Naruto clenched his fists as it lightly shook.

"Lets go Kakashi-sensei," And with that, Naruto started running at full speed, with only his instincts guiding his way to his lost friend.

"Right."

And with that, Kakashi was right behind his former student. A picture of his missing friend came to the blonde shinobi's mind, that short pink hair, those emerald colored eyes, and that soft, kind smile. Naruto promised nothing will happen to her, and he will get her back no matter what it takes. A small growl escaped Naruto's lips as he quickened his pace.

"SAKURAAAAA!!!"

Sakura

Sakura's eyes burst open as she shot herself up on her bed. Clenching the sheets as her breathing quickened, she place a soft hand on her head.

"What?...what happened?...I heard somebody call my name...he sounded so...familiar..."

Sakura whispered as she took a short look around her surroundings to see she was still in the same room in the Akatsuki hide out, she let out a small sigh, while tilting her head down.

'Was it...just a dream?'

She thought as she turned till her feet had touched the hard floor, she then made her way to nearby mirror in her room, examining herself in the reflection. She blinked a few times as she placed a soft hand on the cold, hard glass.

'I still can't remember anything, I feel so...alone, and vulnerable with no memory. Even if I'm not, physically alone.'

She thought having a picture of Itachi and Kisame in her thoughts, which made her smile. She then moved her hand to her forehead, to feel that her temperature felt normal to her.

"Well...at least me fevers gone..." She said quietly to herself as she then heard a 'cracking' sound behind her. She gasped in surprise and quickly turned around.

"Hey they were right Kakuzu, there is a new Akatsuki member."

A man in the same red and black cloak the others wore said. He leaned his shoulder against the edge of the door, with his hands folded to his chest. He was tall, had white hair tied in a low pony tail, and he carried a big weapon which looked like a scythe. Sakura blinked a few times as she stared at him. He smirked at her, a smirk she did not trust.

"But if you ask me she looks like one of those whiny bitches to me, I mean look at her she's just a kid."

The white haired man said as he let out a small chuckle. She didn't really know why but it hurt her feelings when this stranger said that.

"I wouldn't say that if I were you Hidan, Leader must have let her in for a reason."

A different man said in a deep voice. He stood next to the man he called Hidan, she could already tell these two don't get along well either. He was a strange looking man, he had green eyes, and wore what looked like a mask over his mouth, and ofcaurse the Akatsuki cloak. She was hesitant but she took a few steps towards them, she didn't want to make enemies with anyone after all.

"Well it better be a pretty damn good one, we don't need any little brat holding us back, I doubt she's ever even killed someone."

Sakura stopped once the man called Hidan finished that sentence, she could no longer move. Her breathing had seized only for a minute, but her heart kept pounding in her chest.

'H-He's right, I don't even remember my past of being a ninja, did I ever...kill someone?' She thought in her mind, her empty, dark mind.

"Look at her, she's pathetic, if it wasn't for Leader-sama I'd kill the bitch right and sacrifice her to Jashin." Hidan chuckled, gripping onto his weapon. Sakura gasped, would he really try and kill her?. Sakura tilted her head down, sadness and fear in her eyes as she tightly shut them, trying to ignore the white haired man.

"Silence Hidan, or you just might regret those words." Kakuzu warned his partner, though he knew all to well he never listens to his warnings.

"How Kakuzu? I mean look at her, hell I bet even Tobi can kick her ass."

"SHUT UP!!!"

Sakura roared out, tears filling her eyes. She couldn't take all these insults and threats any longer, all she hoped for was to fit in with her new 'family'. Hidan and Kakuzu only stood and stared at the pink haired kuinochi in blinking silence. Sakura rolled her hands into fists, as she gritted her teeth.

"Just shut up!, I may be just a weak little girl now, but soon I will be a better ninja then all of you!. You'll all see I will not be pushed around anymore, I will be the best ninja I can be, just you wait!!"

Sakura burst out, tears rolling down her eyes. She then ran to the door, pushing the two men aside as she ran a left down the hallway. She didn't care where she was going, as long as it was away from him.

'Just you wait, I will surpass all of you, Sakura Haruno will not be pushed around like a helpless little child anymore.'

Sakura thought in her mind as she continued to run, her tears trailing away behind her. All she wanted was to fit in with the rest, but they already judge her when they didn't even know her. She continued to run until she lost her footing, and collapsed on the hard ground.

"Oww..."

Sakura grunted in pain as she tried to sit her self up. Her tears dripping from her eyes, hitting the floor.

'Why do these things have to happen to me?' Sakura thought as she tightly shut her eyes, clenching her fists, still lying on the ground like a helpless puppy. Sakura didn't even notice the footsteps stopping in front of her.

"Get up."

A gruff voice said, making Sakura open her eyes, and look up to see both Itachi and Kisame standing above her, his weapon over his shoulders.

"Yeah Sakura, an Akatsuki member is never suppose to be on their knees, now stand up."

Kisame ordered with a smirk on his face, as always. Sakura then blinked a few times, staring up at her mentors as she did as they said and stood up, wiping the tears away from her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry" Sakura whispered making Kisame sigh.

"You see, that's your problem, you need to toughen up kid. You'll never be a true ninja if you keep acting like that...Why don't you come with us, you can have your uhh...first training session with me and Itachi. Now come with us."

Kisame ordered as they both turned around and started to walk away, Sakura had no choice but to follow her mentors. Maybe they can teach her how to be a true ninja, so then nobody will be ever to push her around again, let alone abandon her like her old village did. Just the thought of her old village made her angry, even when she doesn't even remember what her old village even looked like.

Somewhere out of the Akatsuki base

Kisame and Itachi walked along a forest with Sakura following close behind them, neither has said a thing after they left the Akatsuki base, the silence was starting to grow on Sakura.

"Umm sorry for me asking, but where are we going?" Sakura interrupted the dead silence between her and her mentors.

"You'll see."

Kisame assured her as they kept walking. And now...the dead silence had returned, she hated the silence between them, so she finally spoke up.

"So, umm...I've been meaning to ask. What do you guys actually...do in the Akatsuki?" The two Akatsuki members stopped dead in their tracks, Kisame then turned his head to look at Sakura.

"You mean you don't know?" Kisame asked, almost in a nervous tone, but hid it. Sakura just shook her head.

"No, please tell me, what are the Akatsuki's intensions? what exactly is their...goal?" Kisame and Itachi only looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

'Shit...What are we suppose to say to her?, If we tell her the truth...'

Kisame thought as he then opened his mouth to say something, until his partner stopped him by lightly shaking his head so that Sakura didn't notice. Itachi then turned around to face Sakura, Kisame knowing well that he had a plan, as he always did. Sakura looked up at Itachi, his eyes showing no emotion, but that's only to be expected of him.

"As you might have noticed by now, we are all S-ranked ninjas who have left our home village willingly...Or was abandoned." Itachi said flatly, as that last sentence gave a weird feeling to Sakura's heart. All her hate for her village for abandoning her started to fill her up, until Itachi spoke again.

"So our leader, whom you've recently met, forms us all in a group to accomplish one task." Sakura gulped taking in some of the information. Kisame only eyed his partner, almost as if he already knew what he was going to say to the young kuinochi.

"And what task is that?" The pink haired girl asked, eager to know more."Well the task is obvious kid," Kisame started making his partner look back at him, almost in a glare for interupting him. Kisame ignored his partner, smirking as he continued.

"Our Leader's goal, is to remove this pathetic world of war, and create a new one with no war."

"N-No war? So your saying you guys are trying to save the world, and make it peaceful?" Sakura's eyes widen at his words. Itachi slightly narrowed his eyes hearing that 'word' as he recalled some of his past memories. Kisame nodded holding his weapon up to rest on his shoulders.

"Yeah, you can say that kid."

'Heh, this'll be easier then I thought, this little runt will believe anything.'

"But even an organization of S-ranked ninja's are still not enough to complete such a task, so Leader-sama came up with a plan to help this violent world of ours. We need to collect all nine of the tailed beasts, or the Jinchuriki." Kisame continued to explain the Akatsuki's 'plan' to the young kuinochi, as she gave a confused look.

"Tailed beasts, I...think I've heard of them...But I don't remember when." Sakura said as she tried her best to recall where she has heard of these Tailed beasts, but her lost memory has gotten to better of her.

"Well to explain it the simplest as I can, they are evil demons who live in human bodies, whether they have been sealed inside them. These humans are the tailed beast's host, and each of them are extremely powerful, and dangerous. Even one tailed beast can destroy a village in mere minutes." Kisame paused giving Sakura the chance to ask shyly.

"And what exactly do the Akatsuki...do...with these...Tailed beasts?" This made Kisame smirked, this kid will believe anything he said.

"Well kid, lets just say we take the evil beasts out of their innocent host, and seal the evil beasts away so it can't harm anything or anyone ever again. And that's all I will say to you, Leader-sama doesn't exactly like us talking about his plan, so try not to talk about this with anyone, not even the other Akatsuki members, understand?" Kisame asked in a serious tone, Sakura simply nodded in response, making Kisame have a small grin on his face. "Good, now if there aren't anymore questions, lets be on our way."

'Damn that was close, the little brat better not tell Leader-sama about this, or were both dead.'

Kisame thought nervously, picturing what the Leader will do to him if he ever found out he lied to her. Thus the two S-ranked shinobi started walking again, not even looking back to make sure their newest 'member' was following them.

Sakura noticed this and was about to run to follow them when a sharp pain shot through her ankle. Sakura groaned in pain, but not loud enough for Itachi and Kisame to hear. She then looked down to see what had caused the sudden pain in her ankle, she then saw what looked like...a bite mark?

"W-What the?"

Sakura whimpered as she saw two small holes in her ankle as they both started to drip out small drops of her blood, she then heard a rattling sound in the bushes behind her. Sakura then turned to investigate only to see a bush, and right then, the rattling had stopped. Sakura looked down at her wounded ankle again.

'Did something just bit me?'

Sakura thought as she started to walk up to the bush when a voice stopped her.

"Hey, Sakura, you comin?" Sakura heard Kisame's voice yell over to her as she turned to see her two mentors a distance away from her, Sakura then looked back at the bush.

'Probably just a bug, I shouldn't worry about it.'

"Come on kid we don't have all day!." Kisame yelled, growing impatient.

"Coming!"

Sakura then ran over to her two mentors, her ankle not giving much pain as they continued there walk. Though, unknown to the young kuinochi, the bite mark held more then just a slight pain in her ankle. As the venom will soon spread throughout her entire body and mind, unaware that her fate is now sealed, but not only hers, but the rest of the Akatsuki members.....

.....

Now residing on a tree branch, the snake watched as it's victim ran to the two older Akatsuki members. Hissing as it slide it's fork-like tongue in and out, and a snake-like laughter can be heard throughout the area. Orochimaru then took his form, hiding behind the tree as a sinister grin plastered on his face.'

'You should have stayed home my dear Sakura, now you must suffer the consequences as your so-called 'mentors' fall...one by one.' Orochimaru snickered after that thought as he continued. 'And then I shall meet you soon...my little pet'

Well sorry it took this long my readers, and sorry if my writing skills might not have approved as I'd hoped, or maybe has worsened. But I have haven't written in forever from all the things that kept me busy all this time, and I think I cought a cold. But now it's spring break and now I got time. I still hope you do like this chapter, because the next one will be a thrill since I finally came up with a new storyline while eating spaghetti don't worry, I haven't forgotten Sasori, or Zetsu, or Konan, they will come up in later chapters, maybe the next one, I'm not sure.

And if Your wondering who won the voting contest thing, on who Sakura should be paired with...Well I think I know who it should be now, but you'll have to wait and find out on your own ^^ and no, it's not who you think.

This question came up in on of the reviews, forgot who though, sorry. Anyways the question was "Did Tsunade trained Sakura to be a medic-nin and does she have super strength?" And the answer is yes, but on account of losing her memory she doesn't remember having them, but just wait what happens in the next chapter, you'll see. ^^

Well regardless of my writing, I still hoped you enjoyed this chapter, more will be explained in future chapters, but you are all still welcomed to ask me any questions in the review ^^ well until next chapter, it will consists I should say, two battles, Sakura who is in both of them, will she win, or will that mysterious bite be her downfall? or maybe even help her? And what exactly IS Orochimarus plan for poor old Sakura? but will Naruto find her on time?...Yup I suck at summaries, well please review and you get to have an hour alone time in a room with any Akatsuki member you like, and do whatever you want with them whether it's watch TV, play dress up, or play Candy Land with them, whatever you want ^^
