'doon doon dooon doooon dooon dooooon'
Sakura checked in at an Inn in the town she stayed in. She decided to leave in the morning. When she got into her room it was a fairly tiny room. Single bed, a nightstand and one light that barely illuminated the room. The bathroom was okay. Everything was there shower, sink, and toilet. One thing that was missing was the hot water... She didn't mind it much, as long as it got the job done she'll be satisfied.
When Sakura looked into the mirror she noticed how much of a woman she had become. Her hair was about past her shoulders.
"Wow... I have boobs now... TOOK YOU GUYS LONG ENOUGH!" She exclaimed while she was observing. They weren't huge, but she was very satisfied with them. "I wonder was is Tsunade-Sama's secret..."
Her skirt clung to her hips as well. She was very satisfied with that. Those intense training sessions with her master all paid off. "Man... I got an ass too!" She hugged herself and jumped into the shower.
When morning came she visited some of the shops. They did not have a good supply of food or weapons. She just got some shurikens and a rice cake for her breakfast.

Traveling through the forest was getting tedious. She needed something to occupy her. She began to imitate the way the crows would sound. 'CAKAW CAKAWW' - "CAKKAAAHHH CAKKAAHHH!" To her surprise they respond to her. She giggled at her silliness.
Another hour went by and she got really bored. She stopped for a bit to see if there were any towns on her map. She heard someone step on a branch. With her reflexes she turned around almost instantaneously. She took out her kunai went into her guard stance.
Come out!" Sakura threatened.
She tried to sense any sign of chakra around her, but nothing.
"I know you're here! So just come out!"
"What is a young lady doing here by herself at this time of night?" The man said stepping out from the shadows.
"Y-you're... Y-you're..." She stepped back terrified.
"It's okay, I have no intention of wasting my energy on someone as weak as you." He said
"Oh... you have done it now..." She smirked.
She appeared behind and kicked the lower side of his hip. He dodged that with ease. "That's not going to work on me twice." He chuckled.
She then threw kunai at the enemy as a diversion to get closer to him.
"I thought you were dead you bastard." She yelled as she attempted to punch his chest.
"Well if it wasn't for my friends I would be dead. I have no idea how they did it but the Akatsuki revived me."
"What do you want Sasori?!" Sakura's eyes narrowed as she jumped back. "Explain to me why the hell you're here!"
"I'm here for you dear" Sasori said in a joyous tone. "The Akatsuki is in need of a medic and I hear you're one of the best, am I right?"
She raised her eyebrow, "Why would they need me if they revived you?"
"Unfortunately, we do not have the intelligence of the human body as much as you do. I am a puppet as you clearly understand. Just come with me and there will be no harm done." he said calmy.
"Who is it? You're boyfriend Deidara?" She laughed.
"Haha. Oh no, honey. It's one of your comrade's close family member. Itachi. You see, Sasuke finally made his attack Itachi. But from what I hear someone; or something stopped Sasuke from doing the final blow. Itachi was already in pretty bad condition and so was Sasuke. They both collapsed on the spot. Good thing Zetsu was there and picked up Itachi. Again, he is in very bad condition and could potentially die, so like... could you hurry up and say yes already?"
"What about Sasuke? How is he?" she questioned.
"From what I know his team picked him up. So he should be fine for now. Again, a very close friend of mine is dying... so could you come?! " He began impatiently.
Sakura thought to herself "Well, at least I don't have to go all the way to Lightning anymore."
She kept her guard on and agreed to follow him.
'doon doon dooon doooon dooon dooooon'
They were going through the forest and many thoughts were going through her brain. So Sasuke already fought Itachi... What stopped him? Where is Sasuke now? Is he okay?
While Sakura was thinking, Sasori appeared behind her knocked Sakura out. She was about to fall but Sasori caught her and carried her to their hideout.
When she woke up she was dizzy and confused. Then she remember Sasori coming Sasori behind her and a shot of pain then blacking out. She saw Sasori.
"Hey! What the hell was that for?!" She yelled
"I couldn't let you see where our hideout was exactly. Don't be all pissed." Sasori explained.
She sighed and asked, "So where's the patient?"
"Oh, follow me." said a man with a sharkish appearance.
She obediently followed him into a room that was poorly lit and a man that had bandages all over his torso. He was coughing violently and was clearly in bad condition. He was unconscious. Sakura knew that this was severe and she understood the situation.
"Leave me to do my work, I don't work well with people watching me." Sakura said while tying up her hair.
"You better not pull anything stupid or it's your head." Kisame warned.
"Whatever." She closed the door.
"Damn... Sasuke fucked you up..." She thought.
She began to run her healing hand across Itachi's torso healing the major internal injuries. She concentrated her chakra deep within his body to make sure that everything is repaired. She then healed the minor injuries around his body. "He sure works out..." she said under her breath. His body was in good shape now that she fixed up most of it.
Then she focused on the eyes. She knows a lot about the sharingan because of training with Kakashi. She was appalled. His eyes were in such bad condition. "How the hell can he see with these eyes?"
She focused her chakra on the pupils to clear his vision. She then healed up any damaged tissue that caused some bleeding. Itachi winced at the slight weight on his face, but it was soothing as well. After about 2 hours of nonstop healing she finally was done. Blood was everywhere. She grabbed a warm cloth and began to remove the blood from his face and other areas.
Sakura was exhausted and looked at her masterpiece. She pat herself on the back for the hard work she accomplished. He was still unconscious, so Sakura stepped out of the room and sees all of the members waiting for her. Most of them were men and one woman with purple hair. They all stood up when she arrived.
"He's better. All he needs is rest." She informed while undoing her ponytail.
"Thank you for your help. I am Pain by the way." Said a man with orange hair.
"It was nothing." Sakura smiled.
"I suppose you need some rest to. You can stay here if you want. There is an extra room at the end of the hall it has everything you need." Pain informed.
"She can stay in my room." A man with grayish hair laughed while walking towards her. "What do you say? You're very sexy. My name is Hidan, but you can call me babe." He smirked while he attempted to wrap his arm around her waste.
Sakura smacked his hand away, "No, I think I'm good." and began walking down to her room.
They all laughed at Hidan while she walked further down the hallway.
'doon doon dooon doooon dooon dooooon'
When she entered the room there were two beds. It looked as if someone has been using it. "Please don't let it be that pervert..." She sighed. She took the bed that was to the left of the room and began to test it for comfort. The room was fairly big. A lot of space and nicely lit. Many candles which made the room smelled like pine. Sakura saw a door that lead to a bathroom and saw a shower. She locked the door behind her and began to undress. The shower was warm, comforting. The room steamed up and she began to do her ritual of cleaning. She stepped out of the shower and put some new clothes on. Her stomach grumbled and remember that she hasn't eaten since this morning. "Should I ask them for food...?" Wondering as Sakura rubbed her stomach. She thought she heard someone in her room and opened the door.
"Who's ther-" Sakura stammered and saw Itachi rubbing his temples. "Oh, you're awake? How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort at all?"
Itachi just looked at her and sat on his bed. "You were the one that saved me?" He asked.
"Um.. yeah? You're welcome." she said.
"..." Itachi laid down.
"...Well anyway. You shouldn't move to much you might reopen some wounds, and you're sore, so just rest for a bit. If you feel any discomfort let m-"
"I can see..." He cut her off.
"Um.. yeah. I fixed those eyes of yours too..." Sakura stated.
"Other medics couldn't fix my eyes... how did you know how?"
"I'm skilled and trained under Tsunade. Kakashi has a sharingan and whenever he strained his I would fix them. I familiarized the sharingan."
"..."
She felt uncomfortable just standing there while he didn't respond so she left the room. She was walking down the hallway and heard the members once again.
"Oh, I see you have met your roommate." Pain said.
"Yeah... I thought that was an empty room?" Sakura crossed her arms.
"You don't like sharing a room with him? He is your patient after all." Pain asked
"My offer still stands baby..." Hidan included.
Sakura smiled at Hidan, "No thanks... and I don't mind it Pain... its just awkward..."
"That's Itachi for ya. Don't worry you'll get used to it." Kisame added.
Sakura's stomach grumbled. "Um...would you guys happen to have some food?"
"I'll lead you to our kitchen" A woman with purple hair stood up and motioned her to follow.
Sakura saw a refrigerator a small table, sink, and a fruit basket.
"I'm Konan" she said while opening the fridge to see if there was anything inside. "It's nice to see a girl in our hideout for once... I feel so alone at times." handing her an apple from the basket.
"I'm Sakura, and isn't Pain your boyfriend? Why do you feel so alone?" taking the apple.
"Yeah, but he doesn't really get our girl problems.. ya know?" Konan mentioned.
"I totally understand." Sakura took a bite out of the apple.
"I'm surprised that you agreed to help Itachi. I thought you would of just let him die."
"Haha. Oh no. I was actually looking for Itachi... I had something to ask him" Sakura answered while taking another bite of her apple.
"You two know each other? What did you need to ask him? Oh it's none of my business..." Konan asked while sitting on the counter.
"Oh no. We don't know each other. We know about each other though."
"Well, I think we should be heading back now it is getting late." Konan said.
"Thanks for the food." Sakura smiled while she finished her apple.
They walked to the room where the guys were but it seems that they all must have went to bed.
"Well, goodnight Sakura." Konan smiled
"Goodnight." Sakura smiled back
Sakura walked down the hall and heard the familiar sound of coughing coming from her room. She walked inside and Itachi was sitting up with blood in his palms. He didn't acknowledge Sakura's presence but he knew she was there. Sakura went up to him and eased him onto his back. Itachi tensed as sakura touched him but Sakura persisted and he lightened up. Sakura focused her chakra into her hands while they glowed green. She ran her palms over Itachi's test to see what was the problem. Sakura couldn't find a definite issue in his body she'll need to do a full body check-up when her chakra restores. So for now she eases the pain in his chest so he can sleep better.
"You should be okay for now. Just go to sleep okay?" Sakura informs.
"Hn..." Itachi began to close his eyes and drift to sleep.
"Goodnight to you too..." Sakura slips into bed and sleeps as well.
