lalala.
"Is she still asleep?"
"Stop talking!"
"Sshh!!!"
"Tobi you're heavy!!! Don't lean on- ack!"
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
"Konan-san..."
"Shut up, I said!"
I fluttered my eyes open and saw where the voices came from. Almsot everyone was leaning down on me. They looked... worried?
"Wha... did I faint again?" I asked, sitting up.
Konan nodded.
I sighed. I scanned the room, looking for someone and there I saw him. Leaning casually on the wall. He looked bored and tired. I was staringa t him and he stared back. I was gonna remove my gaze from him but I just can't. It's like my eyes are glued into his own orbs.
"Pein's here." Itachi said as he removed his stare from me. I suddenly felt lighter. I felt like I just woke up from a trance. That was weird.
Everyone disappeared in a puff of smoke as Pein entered. Pein close the door behind him and I saw Itachi stay in my room.
"You're stressed out." Pein looked at me. I felt a hint of concern in his voice. A TINY hint.
"I-I'm fine." I looked down. I really don't know what to say.
I heard Pein sigh. "You are so stubborn. Just like your mother."
I gasped then looked up at him. Itachi seem to be gone. Probably giving us "father-daughter" bonding.
Pein sat at the end of the bed just a few inches from my feet.
"You're mom and I met when I was on a mission." So this is the love story of Pein and my mom. This is gonna be interesting. "I was alone and severely wounded. I was lost in a forest until someone helped me and took me to a nearby village."
Pein paused and looked at me. "Konoha?" I guessed. He nodded before continuing. "Being an Akatsuki, I shouldn't be seen helped by a ninja. Especially an enemy ninja... but your mother, she was very compassionate. I refused a hundred times and told her to just let me die. She'll be in trouble if the village finds out that she helped an enemy. But your mother was too stubborn to listen. She told me that she's not helping me as a ninja but as a human being."
I smiled.
"Then... that started our friendship and friendship blossomed into love and then came my pink-haired daughter." Pein smiled at me but it lasted only for a few seconds.
I wanted to laugh. I just couldn't believe his story. But something inside of me tells me that what he's saying is true and he is sincere. I've never felt so secure with an Akatsuki, the leader if I may add, since ever. I even feel more secure with Pein and Itachi than with Naruto and Kakashi. This is weird. Super weird.
"You're faints, your headaches... they're my fault." Pein told me. I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"I ordered Itachi to use eye techniques on you to let anger posses you. You wanted revenge and I wanted you to have it. But I guess it's just making your health bad. I'm sorry."
I nodded. I understand what he was trying to do. Anything for his daughter. I smirked. "It's alright. I understand... dad."
Pein's face lit up and I smiled at him.
He gave me the anger I wanted. I'm gonna give him what he wants from me starting with being a real Akatsuki.
-
The whole day I rested. Pein sent Itachi and Kisame on a mission. Everyone else seem to be busy.
The next day, I woke up from a nightmare.
I prepared myself for the day. I wanted to have a mission. I felt so good and so recharged.
I entered the kitchen and it was empty except for an occupied stool. "Hi." I said in a small voice.
"Hey."
Itachi didn't even glance at me. I took a seat a stool apart from him.
"Anything wrong?" I asked. Itachi seem to be... sad.
"Sakura..." He spoke. I looked at him and he looked back.
"Will you do me a favor?" He sounded too serious.
"Yeah. I suppose." I was confused. What is up with Itachi?
"When I die..." He started.
I waited. I was hoping to hear that he wants me to bury him some place special or something. But what he asked me was something shocking that my heart skipped a beat.
Itachi took a deep breath. I stared at him.
"Take my eyes."
