It's Going To Be A Long Night
Chapter Four
The Akatsuki had finally made it to their "home" without any more trouble from Sakura. They all quickly realized that whatever Itachi had done to her had worked. Itachi himself refused to go back in there and aggravate her, for fear of waking her up so she could release the justu and free herself.
As they got closer to the hidden entrance of their home, they were greeted by a serious looking woman with blue hair. As they got closer she began to look at Kakuzu in shocked silence.
Kakuzu was carrying a frail looking girl in his arms, and judging by the way he was holding her; he was being protective as well. This in itself was horrifying and suspenseful for Konan, who feared for the safety of the pink haired girl.
'wait…pink hair? I wonder if that's her natural color…if it is, then in a way she is just like me!' Konan thought in excitement. She rushed towards the two.
"Kakuzu! Why are you carrying an unconscious girl? Who is that?" she started to reach out to the girl, when a low threatening growl came from Kakuzu. Her hand stopped short, and she stared up at the man frozen in fear. Kakuzu pulled Sakura out of her reach, just a little bit and glared at her.
'He's acting like a protective animal… I better back off…' she slowly pulled her hands back and put them up in a cautious way.
"Kakuzu, I wasn't going to hurt her…" she said slowly and backed away a bit. She dropped her hands and looked at Itachi.
"So do you mind explaining what the hell is-"
"DON'T SWEAR IN FRONT OF HER!!!" Hidan burst out
"-going on?" she was now very confused at Hidan's sudden out burst… she looked at him like he had finally snapped.
"I will explain everything when we speak to Pein." Itachi said stoically. He looked a little tired.
"Okay, then who would like to explain why Hidan has finally gone nuts?" she looked over at Tobi and Deidra, knowing full well that they would both take extreme pleasure in ratting out Hidan. Tobi got to it first.
"Hidan got out-witted by Sakura-chan! He was speechless! And she beat on him while she was asleep!" Tobi blurted out.
"Hidan speechless!? I wish I had been there for that!" Konan smirked evilly at Hidan.
"DAMNIT TOBI I'LL KILL YOU!!" Hidan flushed red from anger and embarrassment.
"Don't swear in her presence, Hidan…" Zetsu maliciously warned. Hidan stopped in mid-stride, frozen stiff.
By this time they had reached Pein's office and had been beckoned inside. As the group explained everything that had happened, Konan became more and more amazed by the beautiful girl in front of her. She could tell Pein was as equally as amazed by her.
After they had finished explaining everything, Pein agreed to test her after she recovered. Itachi informed them that it would take at least a month for her to wake up after he released her, and then it would take another month for her to fully recover.
"Very well, in two months' time I will arrange for Konan to test her and report back to me. If I find her suitable for it, we will arrange for her to join us. Konan is there room for her in your apartments?" he looked at Konan knowing full well that there was more then enough rooms in her apartments to house at least four people. She bowed slightly to Pein and answered that there was.
"Good, you may all go and rest now." He nodded to them and they all left. Once outside Konan turned to Kakuzu and Itachi.
"Follow me and you can release the technique on her and then you can both leave." She watched Kakuzu carefully, but since Pein had ordered it he made no sound of objection.
When they reached her rooms Kakuzu laid Sakura down and Konan pulled the covers up to her chin. Itachi reached down and then released the technique on her. His eyes seemed slightly worried as he left. Kakuzu stayed where he was and Konan glared at him.
"Normally I would say back off and get out of my room, but I know you'd kill me in my sleep if I did, so you can pull up a chair and sit in the corner. But if I even so much as catch you twitch in her direction I can promise you I will get Pein and we will kill you. Do NOT touch her." Konan said it in a final tone that the rest of the Akatsuki had learned not to mess with. Kakuzu nodded and then leaned back in his chair and sat, unmoving, while he carefully watched Sakura, to make sure no harm came to her.
For two days Kakuzu watched Konan take care of Sakura, and realizing that she was not going to harm Sakura, he left. Signaling to Konan that he trusted Sakura in her hands. Kakuzu hadn't slept for two days and finally went and got some rest. Little did either of them know that two of the Akatsuki members were planning on taking Sakura's powers and then getting rid of her. Tobi listened and ran to warn Konan. Konan told Tobi to go find Zetsu, and have him come up and guard the door. Tobi had run off to go find Zetsu, before Deidra and Hidan had reached the rooms. They opened the door to find Konan standing there waiting for them.
"Deidra, go distract Konan." Hidan gestured back to his partner in crime.
"yeah, yeah, yeah…" Deidra lazily pulled Konan into the hallway and started to attack her and keep her away from the door. Hidan inched up to the sleeping girl when he heard Konan laughing uncontrollably and then all noise in the hallway stopped. Hidan looked behind him to see an unconscious Deidra on the floor and behind him was a very dark looking Zetsu.
"I will eat you in your sleep if you take another step towards Sakura…" Zetsu's black side said in a terrifying wicked grin. Hidan stood frozen to the spot staring in horror.
"What's going on?" Everyone turned to look at Sakura who was struggling to sit up. She was holding her head as she opened her eyes, and instantly seeing the golden color in them, Hidan screamed like a little girl and grabbing Deidra , who had just woken up, flew out of the room.
Konan and Zetsu were both amazed.
"Zetsu, it's only been two days…you might want to go get Itachi…" she whispered. Zetsu nodded and disappeared. Sakura's eyes focused in on her and narrowed at her cloak.
"Who are you?" Sakura demanded. She glared at Konan, and Konan quickly realized why Hidan was so afraid of her. She leveled her own gaze at the girl.
"My name is Konan, and you are Sakura."
"I know who I am!" she hissed. Just then everyone came to the door and looked at Sakura in shocked silence. Itachi stepped into the room. He slowly walked towards Sakura swirling his Sharingan eyes.
"That's not going to work on me Itachi, and you know that." She glowered at him. He said nothing only continued to walk towards her. Her golden eyes suddenly flashed, and everyone realized that a sunbeam had hit her arm. Next thing anyone knew Sakura was outside and running away from them.
"What the hell just happened Itachi!?" Konan shouted.
"I could tell you and waste time, but I promise you if she hits another sun beam we will never find her again." He glared back at her.
Pein watched in amused silence, while munching on popcorn, from his window as everyone frantically rushed outside to pursue the girl. It had only been two days and she was fully recovered.
"That girl will definitely become a member of the Akatsuki." Pein said in amused silence.
Well there you go! And I am sorry it took so long. It might take me a little while to update again (I don't really know) because I am in the middle of trying to move. But I will do my best! Thanks for reading now start reviewing!
