Disclaimer: I own nothing except the story idea. Sorry for being so late in updating I was working on a new story PeinXSakura. I am no good at describing jutsu and fight scenes, sorry and the characters are OOC so don't kill me, the rating might change.
"Talking" 'Thinking'' Telepathy 'Inner Sakura'
Pairings: Itachi X Sakura
Chapter Five
10 Years Later, Back Again, Naruto?
It was a windy cloudy night, lightning pierced the dark sky and thunder boomed. Sakura scowled at the sky. She was dressed in the normal Akatsuki cloak and straw hat, she had given up on the other outfit years ago, it just didn't strike enough fear into the villages that she visited. Anyways 10 years had passed and Sakura had became very beautiful, even more intelligent and had become even more powerful than all the Akatsuki members put together, that's including Pein.
The rain began to come down, slowly at first then getting heavier as more time passed, she just kept trudging on, too tired to use any chakra. She had been traveling for two weeks now, she was going to what she considered to be home though she was a month late she hoped they wouldn't be too mad. She sighed and took off her straw hat, letting the water run down her face covering the tears. What if Itachi is still mad at her for kissing his cheek all those years ago? What if he didn't like her in return, just like Sasuke? She shook her head and kept moving.
'Just one more day and I'll be home' she thought emotionlessly.
'And we'll be able to see Itachi-kun!!!'Inner Sakura replied excitedly 'And Deidara-kun and Pain-sama and…'
'Shut up!'
'-Insert Grumbles-'
Next Day
The rain had just stopped and a low fog came down from the nearby mountains. If she remembered correctly there should be an entrance on the other side of the mountain.
'You said you were traveling in the right direction!!!!!' her inner roared, wanting to see everyone as soon as possible.
'I was I forgot which side it was on' she replied calmly, used to her inner's temper tantrums.
She used a summoning jutsu to summon her dragon, named after the first person she met during her flight from Konoha, Koichi.
"Come on Koichi, I'll introduce you to my friends when we get over this mountain" Sakura told the large pink and black Japanese dragon.
It nodded and its azure blue eyes were filled with excitement. She jumped on his back and he took off and circled up to the sky (a/n you know how they fly, kinda like snakes but flying).
An hour later they had reached the other side and she patted her companion on his scaled back, jumped off and led him to the cave entrance that was hidden by a powerful jutsu.
She whispered the password and concentrated her chakra so it could recognize her. The big door opened revealing a cold damp passageway that just fit Koichi.
It grumbled, hating the cold, but followed his mistress never the less. She had been walking for at least 10 minutes when she turned a corner and suddenly there was light, a bright red light that filled the whole corridor and beyond.
"Yeah" Sakura silently cheered "They installed the new light" she kept walking though, she didn't have time to stop and admire it because it was only an hour before the rest of the members got up and it took a little less than that to walk to Pein's office depending on if you got lost or not.
An Hour Later
"We're here" she told Koichi happily opening the large doors, revealing Pein asleep at his desk.
"Pein-sama, I'm back" she said quietly, hoping he heard her.
He stirred and cracked open an eye. Seeing her he opened his other eye and stood up, stretching.
"Konan" he called "Sakura's back"
The door to her right, which she never knew existed, crashed open and in came Konan. She didn't even have her cloak on and was still in her PJ's.
"Sakura!" she screeched happily (a/n I'm sorry I don't know how she acts so I'm sticking with happy for the time being)
"Hello Konan" she told the over excited girl that was currently attempting to crush her.
"Konan, you're crushing me" she gasped.
"Sorry" Konan let go and stepped beside Pein.
"Pein, look Sakura's back!" she told him excitedly, pointing at Sakura.
"Yes I know"
"Artn't you going to greet her"
"Hello Sakura"
"Hello Pein-sama"
Konan rolled her eyes and then gasped.
"Dragon, look Pein, a dragon!"
"Hmmmmm"
"Is that all your going to say?
"Yes"
Koichi was oblivious to all the attention he was getting and was curled up in a circle and was sleeping.
They all just stared as a red bubble appeared out of it's nose, getting bigger and bigger and…
"TAKE COVER!!!" Sakura yelled as it popped. Everyone took cover behind Pein's desk.
(a/n insert a big explosion that woke everyone up here)
Everyone came barging into the office, to come face to face with a large angry dragon, flames wisped out of its mouth as it growled.
"Koichi down boy" a muffled voice told it.
Pein's head popped over the edge of his desk and Konan shortly followed him and then Sakura.
"That's why he never sleeps in my room" she told Pein and Konan, amused.
Everyone looked at her.
"You're a month and two weeks late" Pein told her emotionlessly.
"Well I was over the other side of the blasted world, learning all I could and the times are different over there" she growled miffed.
"Sakura's back! Yeah" Deidara jumped over to Sakura and hugged her.
"Pinky!" Kisame cheered "It's been so boring and Itachi's been sulking…"
He was cut off by Itachi.
"I don't sulk" he growled.
"You were in your room the whole blasted time and only came out to eat, and go on missions" Kisame argued. Deidara let go and began to watch the scene.
Itachi glared and took out a katana that he purchased some time during the time she had been away and got into a fighting stance.
Kisame also pulled out his weapon and got into a fighting stance.
"I just got back and your fighting, and about whether Itachi sulked or not!" Sakura scoffed and turned back to Pein.
"I'll tell you all about my adventure after I sleep" she turned to leave but was stopped.
"Sakura, we have a new member" Pein told her.
"His name's Naruto, you know the nine-tailed fox" Konan added.
Sakura fainted; everyone looked at her like WTF.
"I'll take her to her room" Itachi volunteered quickly, scooping her up and carrying her out bridle style, the forgotten dragon following closely behind.
What did ya think?
