- Sakura's POV—
By the time we got to the Akatsuki's hideout, its already nightfall.
'Wonder how Pein and Konan are doing? We haven't seen them since we're I dunno 6? We're kind of a rebel back in the old days huh, outer-chan?'
'No, YOU were a rebel. I'm not.'
'Yeah, they were pretty freaked out when they found out you have a split personality. Back then you were never any fun D:'
'Oh come on inner O.o'
"Hey, still talk to inner Sakura huh?" Kisame snicker.
"Shut up amphibian." Sakura warned.
"Okay, okay kitten. I'm just kidding and by the way we're here."
Sakura stop and look around. They were in the middle of the forest in Amegakure, near a strange looking cave that we can't see if you don't know what you're looking for. The trees around mostly hid the cave, so you have to find it carefully.
"Wow, it haven't even change a bit since the last four-five year I been here." Said Sakura while looking around.
"Yeah, you were gone for quite a while bit- I mean blossom," Hidan nervously shut up.
"Come on. We'll have to take you to see Konan and Pein soon." Itachi look at her and head to the base. Everybody follow suit.
- At the Hokage Tower with Konoha 11(temporally because Sakura's missing) –
"So your telling me that my apprentice, who I cared as much as my own daughter, left with the Akatsuki, the EVIL organization of S-rank crimanals, after Orochimaru attack you and then told you guys to come here and told us - she gesture to Jiraya and herself – that she'll handle it from there and explain everything latter?" Tsunade calmly said.
"H-hh-hai." Konoha 11 said nervously. A calm Tsunade like that is NOT a good thing and Jiraya also had a blank expression on his face. Hell even the ice cubes, Sasuke and Neji, were shaken like a leaf!
"Well then I trust Sakura to come back within a weak and if not I want ALL of you to search for her FOREVER TILL SHE GETS BACK UNDERSTOOD!" Yelled Tsunade.
"Hai!"
"We trust Sakura but HOW CAN YOU LEAVE HER ALONE LIKE THAT! WHAT IF SHE GETS HURT? OR WORST! NO, NO I DON'T WANT TO THING ABOUT IT, ARGG!" Tsunade went from calm-yelling-outraged-hysterical.
"Tsunade CALM DOWN! We have to trust Sakura remember? We at least promise her that." Jiraya went to calm down Tsunade.
"Okay, okay, Thanks Jiraya. Now everyone dismiss until further information."
Konoha 11 scramble off their feet and quickly went off.
"Jiraya I hope you're right. Now get out I need to drink some sake, SHISUNE!"
After Jiraya left, he also muttered, "I hope I'm right too. Becareful Sakura-chan or I will never forgive myself."
- At Pein's office –
Sakura look around the dark room that only lighten by a candle in the middle of the room on a wooden table. She looks around to see that there are four people in this room, including herself. The others left her cause they said, "Leader-sama would want to speak alone with you."
When she entered, she was tackled to the ground by a blue blur.
"Konan-san, please kindly get off me." Sakura said as she tried to get up a see that Pein himself offer a hand to her. Well she shouldn't be surprise; ALL of the Akatsuki members were close to her. 'Tobi' was no exception, he even showed her who he really were and despise all the knowledge she known about them (criminals, murders, killers) she was not afraid and accept them all. Thay also told her their past and reasons about their crime/life. That's one of the things that made her so special.
"Sakura-chan I told you to call me okaa-san or even nee-chan. Oh come on." Konan pleaded.
"Okay, okay nee-chan." Konan squeals and hug her again.. Sigh
"Wow what happen to and I quote, 'its not approvable to called you that Konan-san so my apologies but no thank you.' ?" Pein ask.
"Well that was then, this is now." Sakura smiled and added, "Pein-nii."
Pein couldn't help but smiled too. Who knew this girl could warm the hearts of the most dangerous criminal. Then, Madara reveal himself sitting at a chair next to a wooden table at the back of the room.
"Hey, What about me blossom? Or have you forgotten me? Oh I'm so hurt." Madara grinned.
"Of course not Mada-sensei." Sakura grinned back.
After a few greetings Sakura discuss the current situations.
"Madara-san, Pein-san I have a request I would like to make." Her tone was dead serious with no emotions at all.
"So much for changing." Madara muttered.
Pein ignore him and talk to Sakura, his tone was curious. In the 2-3 years they have been together, Sakura NEVER made any request or wishes.
"And may I ask, what may that be Sakura?"
"I wish for you and Madara-san to stop capturing the bijuus, especially the 9-tailed-fox. The Kyuubi helped me when I was little and I refuse to let you capture him.
–Sakura looked at Madara and said- If you want to make an ultimate eye technique I'll help you. I learn a few things through my clan scrolls.
–Sakura then looked at Pein and said- If you want world peace, I can try a negotiate a deal and or peacemaker between the nations.
Am I clear?"
Madara actually looked shock behind his silly orange mask.
'How in the world could she think of that? Amazing.'
Pein and Madara thought about it and nod their heads.
"If you could to that we'll agree but seriously you don't have to. Your thirteen for heaven sakes, we should be the one to take care of that and you not the other way around." Madara said while Pein is agreeing with him.
"Okay, thanks Mada-nii, Pein-nii." With that she flash a small and brilliant smile.
'She will be the death of me' Thought Madara and Pein while smiling fondly of her.
Konan came back after a few minutes (she had to take care of a quick mission).
"Hey, what did I miss?"
"They'll tell you later. Now I would like to head back to my old room in the base. Bye~" Sakura smiled at them before exiting the office.
- At her old room (Sakura's POV) –
I looked around before I came here and seriously NOTHING had change! But I shouldn't complain, I like it just the way things were. I guess I need to send a letter to Tsunade-shisio about it. I quickly get to the desk at the corner of my room and took out a pen and paper. My room is a normal size room, maybe a little big, with a window, bathroom, dresser, bed, table, wardrobe, bookshelf, and even a small fridge. The walls were white, cream, and blue with different colors of green decorating it. My bed sheets were light pink and white. But enough about that.
I wrote something I want to say:
Tsunade-shisio, I'm really sorry for not telling you all of my secrets and my life but something are better not told of. I just done negotiating with them and they will not come after the bijuus anymore. I'll be back in a few weeks and don't search for me. I'll see you soon enough and I'll try to write as much as I could.
Ps: DON'T drink sake and told everyone that I'm fine.
Sincerely, Sakura Haruno
I open my window and summon a bird from the forest. My clan specializes with nature and animal and although my kekkai-genkai is to be able to use nature powers, I can summon animals too. Actually no one in my clan knew the Shizen no chikara full extend of powers, the secret was lost years ago and the only way to find it is with a special locket that I have been wearing underneath my clothes. The locket contains an old riddle that only a Haruno could understand. I don't need any more powers so I kept it hidden.
After I deliver that letter, I took a bath and completely relax for a while. I wonder about inner for a moment because she's really quiet when I have been in the base, but thought nothing too suspicious about it (that will be one of my biggest mistake ever). I change into my spare pajamas, the one that I have in my dresser (I leave some clothes behind), and went to bed.
What me and the other Akatsuki realize is that there's somebody watching me from afar with sad dark green eyes.
- Mysterious Person's POV –
"Sakura, my dear twin sister…
You are younger than me but braver.
Let me help you against your cruel fate,
Victory shall be in our hands.
I love you forever and I'll do anything to keep you safe.
All that you known about our clan is not the whole truth…"
"Soon we will be able to meet again and before that happens I promise I would keep you safe. You often help me and now its time to repay you." As a single tear fall down her face as she gave lovingly to Sakura.
And without a minute pass she was already gone but a soft wind carries her words…
"I 'll protect you no matter what and against the secret war our clan had."
