Finally updated this fic!
Itachi and I arrived back at the base. We went straight towards Pein's room.
"Welcome Back." Pein said dully
"Mr. Kira's dead." Itachi placed a picture on top of the desk in front of us. Where did he get that?
The picture was Mr. Kira in the middle of team seven and Jiraiya.
Pein suddenly smirked at me.
"Good to see you still at our side, Sakura."
I nodded. "Of course."
"You're mission was flawless. You have gained my trust Sakura." Pein said.
I felt proud of myself. "Thank you."
"You two can rest now." Pein dismissed us.
Itachi opened the door for me then I went out. We walked side by side in the hallway. It was quiet when my stomach grumbled.
We stopped walking and I felt so embarrassed! Itachi smirked at me then snickered.
"What?!" I glared at him.
"I'm hungry too you know." He admitted.
I sighed. "What do you guys eat here anyway?"
We continued walking, Itachi led me to the kitchen. "Food." he said as we entered the large kitchen.
I was surprised, the kitchen was amazing. It was a modern-day kitchen.
"Wow. Nice kitchen." I said.
Itachi opened the floor to ceiling refrigerator and took out some things.
I opened a plate covering another plate in front of me. I almost threw up at the sight. It was 'something'. I can't even tell what's it made of.
"Does anyone here know how to cook?" I asked covering the 'something' again.
Itachi stood upright then stared at me. "No."
"Then what do you guys eat?" I asked.
He shrugged. "Deidara usually cooks since he tells us that cooking is an art."
I blinked a few times.
"His food is usually good. But we can't do anything about it since no one wants to learn how to cook." Itachi added.
I rolled my eyes. "How about I ask Pein the kitchen job?"
He shrugged. "Whatever."
I sighed but I felt cheerful. Itachi's a bit more 'open' than his brother.
I let Itachi sit as I take over the kitchen. I looked at the ingredients Itachi put out.
"Hmm... I guess I could make Spaghetti." I mumbled.
Itachi nodded then took out a stool from under the counter and sat. I tied my hair in a neat bun then started cooking. Halfway through my cooking, Kisame, Deidara, Tobi, and Konan entered the kitchen. I tensed but focused on my cooking.
"It smells so good..." Tobi said.
"Who's cooking?" Konan asked.
Itachi pointed a finger at me. "H-Hi!" I smiled.
"Sakura-san, you can cook?" Deidara sounded surprised.
I nodded. "Well what do you know! Pinky's got some talents! We can eat food again!" Kisame chuckled.
"Hey, are you saying that my cooking is not artistic enough?!" Deidara glared at Kisame.
Kisame chuckled then sat beside Itachi. Everyone took out some stools and sat around the counter. Sakura felt rpoud of herself again, making the Akatsuki respect her even if it was only her cooking.
"Here you go." Sakura placed plates of spaghetti in front of them.
"Wow..." Tobi said.
I took out the only stool that was left. I sat across Itachi. Everyone started eating and I could tell that they enjoyed it. I was gonna start eating when my eyes unconsciously stared at the one across from me.
I blinked a few times. Itachi was... smiling? At me? Is it the end of the world?
I was gonna say something when he looked down and started eating.
Okay... why did I suddenly feel something weird inside me?
I felt my cheeks grow hot, I shrugged the weird feeling off and started eating. After a few bites, Pein entered the kitchen with Hidan.
"What smells good than Deidara's cooking?" Pein said as he grabbed a plate as well and a stool came out from a puff of smoke.
Everyone choked as Deidara went fuming mad.
"MY COOKING IS AN ART!" He declared.
I must say, my impression of the Akatsuki was different. I thought they were heartless people, always mad and cursing each other. But I was wrong, this Akatsuki is like a family. They share jokes, tease each other and laugh. Maybe that is another purpose of the Akatsuki, to be a family of unwanted ninjas no matter where you came from and no matter what your background is.
Maybe the Akatsuki isn't so bad after all.
CHARACTERS ARE OOC! I REPEAT! CHARACTERS ARE OOC!
