Enjoy the show ....Midori Blossom
Sakura zipped up her black jumpsuit as she walked into the meeting room again.
"Any questions?" She asked as she looked at the group of Captains & their Vices.
Shisui raised his hand and waved it back and forth in the air, Sakura rolled her eyes, why did he have to be the clown right now?
"Yes Uchiha-taicho?" She asked breathlessly annoyed.
"What are our code names?" He asked.
"There are no code names Uchiha-taicho." Sakura said annoyed.
"But won't it get confusing since theirs two Uchiha-taichos?" He asked.
"Well then Everyone when your trying to get a hold of either Uchiha call for their vices." Sakura said as she grabbed a breath mask.
"Sakura your being mean again." He said
She shot him a glare as she as she slipped on her fingerless gloves.
Turning away she looked into the extremely small tunnel, actually it was the size of her coffee table at her home in Konoha now that she thought about it. She turned back around. "Why isn't this bigger?" She asked.
Shisui rubbed the back of his neck as he turned to look at Itachi. He spoke in a calm manner that made Sakuras blood boil in anger. "It was unfortunate but in this whole camp there's only one person who can manipulate earth."
Sakura looked around the group and pulled Deidara over to her and pushed him over to the 'tunnel' "It says in your file that you use earth, so make this bigger." She commanded.
"Geez will you be nice for once un?" Deidara asked as he rubbed his upper arm. "I think you froze it un." He said offhandedly. Sakuras eye narrowed even more. "Now Deidara."
He jumped, she was like another Konan but he had the feeling she was so much more worse ..... actually now that he thought about it she was a genius medic-nin, it probably didn't get an scarier than that.
"And no explosions, were still on some of their soil so they most likely could feel it." Sakura continued.
"I got it un."
Sakura turned back around and took out the clear ear piece, "Shisui let me take a look at that map again."
"Look the cemetery were going to be heading into is only two blocks away from the advisory office where the Daimyo lives, I say we use rooftops to get there, and then if I'm correct there should be vents in the build-
-How do you suppose we get in though?" Itachi asked.
"Every advisory office has a secret entrance just incase there's a threat in the area, usually there's a trap door right outside the first room on the first floor,the trap door leads to a secret library or a closet that isn't used much we can sneak in through there .... although only two teams will be able to get in while the others stay outside, to many people going wouldn't be very stealthy." Sakura said
"Ahh." Itachi said so the girl knew a few things, it was only because she was the Hokages apprentice.
Sakura turned back around to find the tunnel two inches taller, and Deidara hiding behind a mind stumbled Temari. "Deidara what the hell are you doing?" Sakura asked.
"Your not going to try to kill me for not making it as big as you need un?" He asked.
Sakura shook her head. "You see it coming so there's no fun in it, besides I just needed it big enough so we could breath." Sakura said as she put her ear piece back in.
She sighed as she reached into her pocket pulling out her breath mask. "As well as Deidara your going in first." Sakura said before she slipped it on.
Deidara groaned as he to slipped on his breath mask and kneeled down to get into the tunnel. Sakura pushed him with her foot. "Move it, my grand aunt can move faster than you." She mocked.
"Jeez you don't gotta be so mean about it yeah." Deidara said.
"I wasn't I was merely telling the truth, I don't know how that old lady moves so quick." Sakura said as she too got on her knees and crawled.
The tunnel was dark and there wasn't any room stand and she hated it, she breathed carefully and instantly as she crawled futher from the opening and deeper into the tunnel she could tell the shift in the air, it was more thick, heavier, it smelled a bit sour ..... she couldn't very much describe what it smelt like, but it she was glad that she brange her breath mask.
"Oi Sakura yeah." She heard Deidaras muffled voice.
She breathed in deep. "Don't talk to much there's only so much oxygen down here ..... everyone make sure that your at least a body and a half apart from each other." She said as she exhaled carefully.
"What do you think will happen if we take off the breath masks un?" Deidara asked.
Sakura didn't answer, there were a thousand different ways that the air born poison could kill them, and she really wasn't about to let anyone know, yes she was a medic nin and yes she was a shinobi ..... but sometimes those poisons could get nasty.
She continued her crawling with Deidara behind her, her thoughts going back to the Uchiha, it was a good thing that she knew not to open her mouth, she was sure that had there not been poison her thoughts would be flying out of her mouth right about now.
A yearning to groan in frustration was burning her throat. How could she have caved, what in her right mind was she thinking when she laid in that stupid hospitable bed with him. Damn her and her to curious mind! Okay maybe she wouldn't damn herself but I'm sure if other people could hear her thoughts they would understand what she was trying to say. She'll admit though he knew what he was doing, dear Kami did he know how to make a woman feel oh so good. It took a while to snap her back into reality though and make her remember that they were in the infirmary room, and that if she got caught with him then someone would snitch her out to her Ojiisan, and well she didn't want to get his hopes up, and she didn't want to disappoint him. He wasn't very fond of premarital sex, like all elders, old people they just didn't know how to upgrade their beliefs. Although if Tsunade or Jiraiya ever found out then she'd really be screwed Tsunade would be outraged, not at her but at Itachi, who would ever think she was the one who initiated anything between them, so they'd blame him. Then Jiraiya oh god she hated that perv, he'd probably be keeping his eye on her using all his conniving schemes to try to put her in one of his degrading stories. Just the thought made her want to puke.
She blinked when she heard someones ragged breathing through the ear piece, she stopped what she was doing. "How much longer till we get there." She heard a males voice on the other end. It sounded like Tamura, one of Ehimes men, she really did hope so, another part of this was to take them out after, with the elders gone, and Ehime showing obvious signs of soon to be village betrayal, him an his goons were as good as gone.
"Breathe carefully everyone, talk only when necessary." Sakura said gently.
"Sakura there's something not right about the village, the streets are completely empty." Ino murmured
"Hmmm." Sakura replied allowing Ino know she heard.
She just a little more and they would be there.
"Oi Puppet boy come look at this." Hidan called out to Sasori.
His wine colored eyes rolled in sheer annoyance at his new partner. "Yes, Hidan?" He asked keeping his anger in check at the nickname.
Hidan eyes sparkled in mischief. "Their praying." He whispered as he tilted his head back pointing it towards the soldiers behind the red brick fort, and indeed they were joinging hands praying to whatever god they believed in. Praying for their safety, and the safety of their loved ones, and praying to be the victorious ones.
He sighed, unlike many other villages Kemuri was very 'old school' as many would call it, and it was very true. Thus the reason why they were in this stupid war with Konoha, well one of the reasons anyways. The other was because the fire countries Daimyo couldn't keep his dick in his pants and slept with the young wife of the Daimyo of Kemuri, and bringing the affair home with him.
The wife wasn't even pretty, short blonde hair, blue eyes, bitten lips (Not many people would notice this slight thing but for some reason he'd always been able to tell when someone was a lip biter) Her lips and eyes were always heavily saturated in makeup, her face was also covered in pounds of makeup witch wasn't all that pretty. The bad thing about being a shinobi was that they could see things normal civilians couldn't, like for instance the start and finish of foundation the two different skin tones when the make-up was on. the young wife was also very thin, and he had heard that she forbid any other females to be in the palace wether they were servants or body gaurds, indicating that she was highly jealous, and very territorial, possibly the reason why she starved herself, and then there were her age lines, she was probably twenty three at the most and already she had crows feet, and in her position she shouldn't have any age signs. Why? Because she was pampered, because her husband would not allow her to stress herself.
Civilians had life much to easy.
"Alot of good it'll do them in the end, if we end up winning this war will only kill the lot of them until they side with us." Hidan said.
"So true." Sasori said.
"Still though what's the big deal about this bitch anyways have you seen the paintings and pictures of her she looks like a walking corpse that wants to look like a clown."
Sasoris lips twitched a bit his new partner had some really humorous ways of looking at things.
"Ah yes, well you know civilian men, do not have the same eye sight as we shinobi, thus they are utterly blind to true beauty when it comes to women." Sasori replied smoothly.
"Hell yeah those heathens are blind, their all going to fight for some ugly ass bitch, I mean I could understand if this bitch was gorgeous, or extreamly kind hearted or bright but hell no this bitch aint nothing but a good fuck probably." Hidan continued on ranting.
"Hidan I must ask why is it that every sentence that comes out of your mouth has to have at least more than two unintelligable words?" Sasori asked although his voice came out bored sounding, he was actually quiet the opposite.
He waited for the younger man to speak. and when he finally said something Sasori smirked. "Shut the hell up you damned heathen." and he brushed passed him bumping his shoulder hard as he did so.
Sasori sighed, some of the new Akatsuki members were so childish what was Pein thinking hiring so many children?
Children, he sighed again, he wondered to himself, had he never left Suna would he have meet a beautiful woman? Fallen in love? Married? Children? Would his grandmother Chiyo love his wife like a daughter? Loved his children as if they were her own? Would his grandmother had ever come clean? So many questions swam through his head. Speaking of his grandmother Chiyo he wondered what she had thought when he'd ended her life.
Yes she may have saved his own by throwing the girl away from him at the last second but what was it that she was possibly thinking when he stabbed the dagger up her throat and into her mouth, going up and out of her head. It was actually quiet a sight, although from the girls point of view it had been the most horrid thing she'd ever seen, his puppets swords were so close to the skin of her neck, she'd been dead in a blink of an eye .... had her body not dropped at the sight of his grandmother.
Unluckily for him though she been quick to pull her act together, determined to get the information she needed. Why she wanted to know how to found Orochimaru was his guess. Not many people were dumb enough to get involved with him unless they knew nothing about the shinobi history and the three legendary Sannin. Sakura was tough he'd give her that, so tough that even though she was on the verge of death and out of antidotes he'd given into her and complied with her wishes. Handing her the only antidote he'd ever made and the only antidote he'd ever carried. She'd been quiet delusional for a moment and she for that little moment he felt as if they were more alike than he could have imagined.
He'd hid in the shadows and he watched her teammates pick her up and carry her out of the ruble, he'd noted the gentleness in which the masked man had picked her up, and watched as his hand glowed green it was basic medic jutsu merely for checking to see what injuries were there, mostly a third of jounins knew the jutsu. Usually they wouldn't check until they knew they were out of danger and were positive the threat had been eliminated. Although when he saw they way this team was, he could tell it was no ordinary team.
Although his grandmother had turned him human again, that didn't mean their were more ways to immortality, he'd found the concoction, the only thing he'd have to give up was the dream of children.
As soon as he was taken back to Amegakure he'd began his research on Haruno Sakura, and found that like him her parents were taken from her at an age to young, and like him her grandparents or in their case parent took them in, and like him she was a bright child. He'd heard rumors that she was spoiled by her grandfather, that he would give her everything she could dream of, and he could only hope she wasn't spoiled and rotten, it would be a waste of such unique beauty and brains.
He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Hidan approach him and turned his head.
"Pein wants us to locate the Daimyo quickly." He said
Sasori nodded his head and walked away.
"I- I can't breath!" Sakura heard through her earpiece.
Her eyes widened and she stopped where she was turning around and trying to look beyond everyone and trying her best to locate the person she could already tell what was going to happen, she'd seen it so many times in her training with Tsunade and Shizune.
"DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR MASK!" She screamed.
Everyone stopped and it was too late the purple haired captain that followed the evil green haired captain Ehime was already pulling the mask away from his face. She held her breath.
Everything went to slow motion from there. He took a deep breath and exhaled loudly and deeply, she could only watch as a sudden fearful expression crossed his face. His lips immediately began to turn blue, his skin a shade paler, sweat began to form quickly on his skin. His eyes rolled to the back of his head, and a white bubbly substance came out of his nose.
His brain had been fried to the point that it was boiling out of his nose ....... Such an artistic way of killing someone, she'd have to get the recipe for the poison when they were their.
"Ino, we got a body." Sakura said.
"I'm on my way."
Sakura counted the number of people that were blocked off, nobody that she was really going to need. "Anyone who's been blocked off turn around and go back, set some explosives on your way out and get rid of the tunnel, take the body with you, it's gonna start to smell." Sakura said.
"Hai."
"Everyone else pick up the pace." Sakura said.
"Sakura your not gonna go back and examine the body to figure out what happened?" Shisui asked
"Already know the poison fried his brain ..... that's what the white stuff is." Sakura said.
"Geez that's disgusting yeah!" Deidara squeeled.
"Deidara your an S-Rank shinobi and you think that's disgusting ...... Where in the world did the Tsuchikage go wrong with you?" Temari asked.
"Hey I've seen some pretty disgusting things in my life but never in my life have I seen someones fried brain un!" Deidara yelled back
"Quiet you two look we only got two yards to go." Sakura said.
Grey steeled eyes watched from the roof tops, looking down at the empty and silent village, looking out at the undisturbed trees. Nothing, absolutely nothing was happening. There was something definitely wrong with this picture.
He was sure that news of the murder had already reached Konoha, but the question was why wasn't anything happening? Not even in the compound was anything happening it was absolutely peaceful. Konoha, Suna, and Takigakure shinobi walked and mingled casually as if nothing was wrong.
Even the skies were clear of any flying summons. Something was very wrong.
"Konan." Pein called out.
His dark blue haired partner quickly appeared at his side. "Hai?" She asked in that soft tone of hers.
"I assigned you to study the maps of Kemuri; tell me is there any way other than the main entrances that enemies could get in?" He asked.
"There is the sky and there is the ground; Although if they were going for stealth the sky they would not use, while if they decided to use the ground the poison goes deeper than a hundred feet, and is much to thick to breath in, to admit, I wouldn't be surprised if there were bodies of shinobi laying in the forest and smoke right now."
Pein nodded his head.
"But if they had breath mask then it would be possible for them to go underground right?" Pein asked.
Konan nodded. "If they were patient, calm, and breathed carefully, their could be a chance, although even with the breath masks the smoke heavily dosed with the poison they'd have to be calculating every breath they take to make sure they don't get killed." Konan answered.
Another nod, there was still a slight chance though. "check the surrounding areas, make sure they didn't get past us using the earth." Pein said.
"Hai." Konan said as she dispersed in her paper butterflies and fluttered off.
Pein looked back to the forest, not even the slightest breeze everything was so still. A lull before the storm, yes that was it, they must have gone underground, although it would take a while to get here if that was true, they'd meet them their get the girl, take her back and interrogate her. Yes that sounded much more pleasant than the first plan. He turned back around looking at the sunset, it wasn't often that they saw the sunset even when he was put the rain on a timer, it still rained on it's own.
The sunset, now that he thought about it had been sometime since the sun was beginning to set, he was sure that when he had talked to Sasori that it was barely beginning.
......... He tilted his head as he looked at it carefully, and back to the forest they were so still ....... His black ringed eyes narrowed angrily as he did some quick handsigns. "Kai!"
He growled, as he took in the nighttime scenery, those clever little leafs found his weakness, and they didn't even realize he was here. He dropped off the roof and landed on the ground gracefully, the dirt kicking up at his landing.
He ran through the village looking to find Konan. She wasn't far, just a turn away from him. He stopped in his tracks.
Konan stood near a tree a gate behind her, and the cemetery behind the gate, her face looked a bit red. her eyes narrowed, her palms shaking, she was mad at something. He walked over to her and looked at what was the cause of her madness.
Turning to the tree, he found a good sized hole in the ground. He growled as he turned around and walked away.
"Tell everyone to be on their guard, they've entered." Pein said before he left the training area.
How was it possible that they got passed him without even knowing? Leaf nins, they were much to smart for their own good, well it was a good thing he studied the map of the buildings. He was positive they'd head to the administration building.
Sakura placed both of her hands flat on the cemented wall that separated them from the inside. She pushed in and slid it the tall secret passageway to the side.
"Told ya the passage way was the same." She mumbled quietly.
"You only know this because you're the Hokage's apprentice." Itachi whispered back.
"Shh." Sakura said as she walked in.
"I can feel their chakra I think their somewhere on the upper levels." Sakura said.
"Yeah I can feel them too." Shisui said following after her.
"Where are we exactly yeah?" Deidara asked.
"Inside the walls, that's why the space is so narrow." Sakura said as she passed a board, while the others ducked under it.
Sakura suddenly stopped walking and Deidara bumped straight into her.
"Ow yeah!" Deidara said.
Sakura put her pointer finger to her lips silencing him. Before she began to whisper. "There's someone else here ....and there chakra is very strong."
"Sakura go into the air ducts, your the smallest of us all, we'll take the floor." Shisui said.
Sakura nodded her head and then smiled. "Bet you fifty." She said to Shisui.
"I'll match your fifty." He replied.
Deidara stared at them then scratched his neck. "What's the bet un?" He asked sheepishly.
"Who'll get to the Daimyo first, Hokage-sama wants us to get the head to her for proof." Shisui replied
"Ohh I'm so in un." Deidara said
"I'm matching their bets as well." Kisame said.
Itachi shook his head. "This is absolutely childish." He said
Sakura put her hand up and grabbed onto the board above her jumping on it, and moving the baseboard and sliding into the air duct.
Shisui looked back to Itachi. "I bet eighty." He said quietly before he moved passed Deidara. Shisui smiled as he whispered back. "Don't forget we need the head for proof."
Sakura stopped as she heard voices through one of the vents. She peered through the baseboard her chakra already perfectly concealed. She couldn't see anyone but she could hear their voices loud and clear.
"What do you mean they've gotten in!" A man whispered harshly.
"I'm sure a heathen like yourself can figure it out." Another man replied back.
"I thought the Akatsuki were supposed to be the best? How is it that you let Konoha nins get past you all?" The man asked with attitude
There was a shuffle and a black and red blur A body was pushed up against the baseboard and Sakura stilled completely. "Once were finished here heathen, I'll make sure that you murder is on my hands." The man whispered darkly.
The Akatsuki were here.......
.........Shit!
Pein listened to Hidan through the walls. It seemed as though the Daimyo liked to push peoples buttons. It was no wonder that Konoha hadn't given into his demands.
There were so many new chakra signatures surrounding the building, he could tell these were the Konoha nins waiting, looking, hoping for an opening.
He stilled completely as he heard something slid across the air ducts. It had been such a carefully, and quiet move that he doubted anyone else had heard it. He looked over to Konan tilting his head up. There weren't any air ducts in this room it was just a very large broom closet. It could probably fit twenty people.
Why they needed such a big broom closet he did not know.
Konan dispersed into her paper butterflies.
Konoha just kept on surprising him, they had some sneaky shinobi working for them.
Sasori watched as a paper butterfly flew towards him landing on his shoulder. Black ink spread across the butterfly.
Watch the air ducts.
He looked over at the vent panel it wasn't very small, but it wasn't very large either. Someone very small and petite would be elected to go through them, and then if they were quiet enough to get this far without anyone other than Pein to realize. They'd have to be extremely stealthy, calm, and professional.
He smirked as he bit his thumb before he did the proper hand-signs for the summoning. With a poof an imperial scorpion the size of his palm was in his palm.
"See how far away the enemy is from us and come back." He ordered
The little black scorpion jumped off of him and climbed up the wall.
All he had to do was wait now.
"Itachi did you hear that?" Shisui asked as he followed the younger man.
"Hai ......I believe we have to split up, we don't want to get caught now." Itachi replied.
They'd all heard what Sakura did and vise versa. Although if Hidan was here, then Kakuzu would be here as well. Although with three of them gone then Akatsuki would have to be unbalance right now. Meaning that either they had new partners or they had all been replaced. Either way though Hidan was still very dangerous for anyone other shinobi.
"Do you think Sakura will be alright?" Kisame asked.
A very low growl could be heard through their ear piece. Itachi smirked he would love to see how Sakura took on one of the others, it would be very entertaining.
They stopped as they heard a panel move through the earpiece and a scream tear through their ears. Itachi grabbed his head at the sound it hurt so much, who knew the girl had such lungs.
'Hello my lovely flower puppet.' A male voice said before the earpiece itself rang through their ears indicating that Sakuras earpiece had been destroyed somehow.
"Shit Sasoris here un!" Deidara said.
And then all hell broke loose as the walls were blown off from behind them
"Up!" Shisui said As he took off in a different direction on the floor.
They couldn't be found by Akatsuki, he could though.
"Genma get your ass in here Asap!" Shisui yelled.
Itachi grabbed a board and jumped on it followed by Deidara. He watched as Kisame stood there leaning on Samehada.
"Sorry Itachi but I'm much to heavy, I have to take to the floors." He whispered before he ran in a different direction.
Itachi jumped up onto another board. "Shit un! Sakura and Sasori completely destroyed the cave the last time they fought! we need to get out of here now un!" Deidara yelled to him.
Itachi nodded his head, it was true he & Kisame had been ordered to get samples of the enemies chakra signatures from the cave and put a name & face to them unfortunately for them though the cave had been demolished leaving nothing but rubble.
How two small people could cause such an enormous mess was his guess.
"We need to get to the Daimyo." Itachi said
"Yeah how the hell do you suppose we do that un?! Just incase you didn't hear Hidan and Sasori are here un! I don't know about you but both those asses scare the hell out of me un!" Deidara yelled as he jumped onto another board followed closely by Itachi.
Sakuras back hit a wall as she was thrown across the room. Who knew the puppet boy was so strong and so good at combat fighting.
.... Well she supposed since he was human again that he was going to have to learn to keep his body in shape ..... And boy did he look good still.
Although she could do without the rest of the Akatsuki throwing her around the room as well, it was truly getting annoying.
"Sasori I honestly think this isn't working." Kakazu said
Hidan crouched in front of her putting her chin in between his fingers, tilting her head to the side. "Perhaps we should look inside her pretty little head maybe we can get our answers then." He said.
Sakura punched his across the face, throwing him across the room. All the bones in his face should be broken now.
She was grabbed by her hair by the blue haired woman. Gasping in pain as her face his the wall, and an elbow hit her spinal cord. "She's not talking Pein what should we do with her?" The woman asked someone in the room.
"Take her with us." A man replied.
The woman let her go and Sakura turned around to find the woman staring at a man with bright auburn hair, and the oddest grey eyes she'd ever seen. He was handsome, she'd give him that, even with all those piercings he was a handsome man.
The woman was beautiful in a druggie goth way. And she was glaring at the man. He walked over to them, to her, pushing the blue haired woman to the side grabbing Sakuras chin in his finger staring her straight in the eyes. She lost her breath for a moment there, she could see so much lust in his eyes.
If only he wasn't the enemy.
"Yes we'll take her back with us, we don't have the time right now to interrogate her plus, if we take her we could get the Kyubi jinchurriki to come out, I'm sure he'd do anything to get his teammate back." The man said
....... That threw her out of her daze alright.
Her arms pulled back ready to punch him square in the face, only for him to catch her arm and swing her around pushing her face back into the wall. "Don't fight me Haruno, if you don't wish to leave with us all you have to do is tell me where my men are." He whispered in her ear.
His men .... Oh shit! She groaned out of frustration she was in a very bad situation right now. She was pushed up against a wall by the Akatsuki leader ... When would the gods give her a break?
One of his fingers trailed down her back, going towards her waist, it was such a sensual act. The blue haired woman growled.
Just great the Akatsuki leader is making moves on me and his bitch is getting jealous, just great.
"Listen lady you wanna switch me places go right ahead." Sakura said out loud for the blue haired woman to hear.
"Your quiet the cynical little girl aren't you?" The man asked her.
Sakura sighed. "It truly isn't my fault I turned out like this." She replied.
The man chucked right next to her ear. "Pardon my manners, I"m Pein."
"Pein!" The blue haired woman said.
"Konan calm down I'm merely introducing myself to our new friend." Pein said.
"Friend my ass." Sakura mumbled.
Another chuckle. Sakura stilled as she felt a chakra approach the room they were in, he may have been a prodigy but he so wasn't any good at concealing his chakra. "Pein please you need to decide soon, I sense that Uchiha near." Sasori said.
..... So maybe she just may have been sensitive to chakras, and was the only one who could feel him.
She was spun back around to look into the mans eyes again. She watched as a black pole slipped out from his big sleeves, pointing it at her neck. "Hate to do this too you, you really need to tell me what I want to hear." Pein said.
That damned Uchiha better make his appearance soon. She had been just fine being alone with Sasori, she hadn't panicked much when Hidan showed up. But for heavens sakes she was in a room with not one, not two, but all the Akatsuki. She was a damsel in distress right now, and her knight and shining armor, her savior was taking his sweet time to be fashionably late!
'Damn Uchihas.'
She gulped and felt the black pole that looked oddly familiar to her graze a bit of her neck. "Damn me & my cockiness, I'm a damsel in distress and my savior is being an ass." She mumbled.
A smirk formed on Peins face. He was already so close to her, leaning down to her ear & hiding his face there was just pushing her boundaries. His husky voice made a chill crawl down her spin in the most fantastic ways.
"You don't have to be a damsel in distress. I can be your savior instead."
.........Why were all the hotties bad guys?
.........Why do all the good girls want the bad boys?
"It's unfortunate but as beautiful as you are, you are my enemy .....and right about now I'd prefer my ass of a savior then you." Sakura replied calmly.
He pulled away from her just a little bit, whispering to her so no one else could here him speak. "I like you ..... your quiet an amusing young woman Sakura."
.....And the way he says my name, it sounds so sweet, and smooth with his voice. Why OH Why was I born on the enemies side?!
She sighed. she wanted to jump at the feel of someones hand on her ankles but she could tell that it was Shisui. She needed to keep a calm (well as calm as you can get in her situation) facade. She hadn't been expecting him to help her out.
She smiled a pretty breathtaking smile that she had been told made her look so innocent and sweet -quiet the opposite of what she actually was.
She could tell that the gears in his brain had abruptly stopped working and she batted her eyelashes, his heartbeat increased tenfold. She didn't think it was actually going to work but what did she know even S-Ranked nins like him fell for the act.
Her voice came out like honey, and she could tell his blood was boiling over as she spoke. "I just came here to get the Daimyo, that's all I want, I'll give you anything you want if you give him to me."
She watched his eyes, he was thinking it over.
.......They always fall for 'anything you want.' Damn perverts.
"Very well then, I'll give you the Daimyo and you give me what I want." He said as he dropped the pole.
She nodded her head and watched as he let her go and turned around. The hands on her ankles tightened and she fell to the floor being quickly pulled into the open vent panel. She was thrown halfway across from where the vent was. She groaned, looking forward, glaring at Shisui.
"Could've at least been a bit gentle." She said as she stood up.
"We need to go now." Shisui replied as he grabbed her by the arm and jumped onto one of the boards.
"Abort mission." She said quietly.
"Abort mission." Shisui repeated.
Peins eyes narrowed he'd fallen into the girls trap. He chuckled, he should've expected it when she had smiled that pretty smile of hers, quiet the interesting kunoichi Konoha had produced. He wondered if he'd ever see her again.
A chakra spike took him out of his trance. He knew this chakra.
..... Itachi was here.
Sakura stopped immediately.
"Shisui we need to go back." She whispered as she reached into his ear and grabbed the earpiece out of it smashing it in her hands.
"Why'd you do that?!" He asked.
"Itachi was right next to room the entire time, we need to find out what he's upto." Sakura replied as she jumped back down from the board and onto the ground.
Shisui shook his head. "Sakura I can't cover my chakra as well as you I'll get caught. Report to me as soon as possible though." He said before he disappeared in a blur.
Sakura ran back to the vent she had been pulled through.
Pein watched as Itachi walked into the room.
"So your alive?" He asked.
Itachi nodded his head. "Tsunade cut off my finger, making it look like I died so that the ring could come off, she grew it back using a lock of my hair." Itachi replied.
His sharingan activated. Pein shook his head. "Itachi, Itachi, Itachi ...... What have you been upto?" He asked.
Itachi smirked, Pein heard Konans breath hitch. "Deidara, Kisame, and myself have been taken in by Konoha because of the fact that each of us were sent to you because of missions. Had they known that we'd told you this, they would have never allowed us back. I have found a way to get the Kyubi differently." Itachi said.
Pein smirked back. "Is that so? ...... Tell us how do we know that you haven't betrayed us?"
Itachi pulled out a scroll and held it out towards Konan. "That is just some the things I've been able to gather since I've been allowed back. At the moment I am being tested by them seeing if I'm still loyal to them truly ..... They've put me in the compound giving me a squad. Everything you need to know about the people in my squad and others is in that scroll, and some other things I was able to get." Itachi explained.
Pein nodded, and a thought popped into his mind. "Tell me Itachi do you have information on Haruno Sakura?" he asked.
Itachi froze instantly, he'd not been expecting her to be brought up. If he messed up it could surely blow his cover.
"I only know that she tends to get pulled into unfortunate circumstances, as well as she is the Hokages apprentice, and the Taicho of the Medical squad, and was part of Team seven which the kyubi was apart of as a genin." Itachi said.
"Unfortunate circumstances." Pein repeated as he tilted his head.
He was sure that the orange haired leader understood what he'd said. Pein nodded his head with an amused smirk.
"Intersting ..... Do me a favor Itachi and when you've returned back to Konoha do keep an eye on her for me .... and make sure that any pursuers are eliminated for me." Pein said.
"Should I then eliminate myself for you?" Itachi asked.
Peins eyes narrowed. So Sakura had captured his attention as well ... this was not good. " .... Actually why don't you get closer to her .... she seems to be the type that'll fall easily and do anything for their lovers. I want her to follow you so she can be part of Akatsuki."
So you can have her. Itachi finished in his head.
Konans chakra spiked angrily.
Already Sakura had the only woman in Akatsuki hating her. He smirked. He truly felt sorry for the girl she really did attract trouble.
"I'm sure I've gotten as close as I can, she's already expressed the fact to me she does not want relationships, she wants only ........ to be physical, which is why I presume she is still single, men tend to fall easily for her and want more than a physical relationship." Itachi said.
A spike in his chakra, was that jealousy he felt.
Sakura you fool you've pulled the wrong guy in.
"Is that so now ..... It does not matter to me she'll make a fine addition to our organization." Pein said.
This isn't good Peins made plans for her.
"Is there anything else you wish for me to do while in Konoha?" Itachi asked.
Pein nodded his head. "Madara has plans for your brother, and clan, what they are I don't know. Make sure that he's truly caught off all connection to the clan, and hasn't revealed himself to anyone again."
Itachi nodded his head, he'd been planning to do that the entire time as well.
"Where are Deidara and Kisame?" Kakazu asked.
"I told them I'd make contact with you to tell you our situation .... they are waiting for me .... somewhere." Itachi said.
"Can you say if they follow the same path as us or have they as well betrayed us?" Sasori asked.
"They are still loyal to Akatsuki .... although Deidara has become somewhat attached to a woman, and from what I hear the woman as well has become attached." Itachi said.
"Do away with the woman." Konan said.
Ahh ..... Konans quiet territorial. Wonder why Pein keeps her around she's not good at fighting, or, genjutsu, kaijutsu, she's barely good at spying .... she must be a good fuck.
"Wait and see how the relationship progresses, if she show's any signs that are complete loyalty to Konoha get rid of her, of not then he may keep her." Pein said.
Now Namis been thrown into this mess ..... I'm really gonna kill Deidara for this later.
"As you wish." Itachi said.
Pein nodded his head before he disappeared. the others doing the same.
Itachi felt a knife at his throat.
"I had a feeling you were there." He said quietly.
"Good, were leaving now, I'm taking you back to Tsunade-sama." Sakura said.
Itachi sighed. "Will you let me explain?" He asked.
"Explain it to the council." Sakura said nonchalantly.
She was really good at her job he'd give her that. "Sakura I didn't tell him about your family, I didn't tell him anything other than the obvious things about you." Itachi said trying his best to get her back on her good side.
She dropped her kunai from his neck and pulled at the hair bringing him down and back to her eye level. "What are you up to Uchiha?" She asked icily.
"We need to see Tsunade without the council." Itachi replied back as he ripped his head out of her tight grasp. Grabbing her arm and dragging her out of the room.
"Tell me how do I know this is not some trick?" Sakura asked as they walked down the hallway.
"Sakura if this was a trick I would have given up your location to Pein, and he would've taken you back with him no matter what." Itachi replied as he turned the corner with Sakura in his grasp.
She huffed. And he stopped in his tracks and looked at the object in the middle of the hallway. Sakura looked at it as well, it was a black velvet bag, with a scroll tied to it.
Itachi bent down and picked up the bag. It was quiet heavy. Taking the scroll off of it, he unrolled it and read it.
Instead of a box of chocolate I give you what you want the head of the Daimyo in a bag.
Perhaps someday we will meet again and you can give me what I wish for in return.
Pein.
He rolled the scroll back up and pushed it into Sakuras hands. She unrolled it and read it. Her voice amused at something he didn't understand. "If a head is chocolate I wonder what roses are to him?"
He grabbed her arm again and dragged her with him. "This is not the time we must hurry to Konoha." He whispered.
"Stop being so paranoid they're gone I can guarantee that .. I would've never came out had they not left." Sakura said.
Shisui, Sakura, and Nami had all been dragged into his mess. He truly felt sorry for Sakura though Pein had just basically announce his fondness for Sakura, when Pein took an interest in things not of material objects things didn't end up .... pretty.
Peins and relationships were two things that did not go together.
Although if Pein was giving her a gift he wondered what Konan would be sending her.
His arm felt like it was braking at the tight grasp, he turned to find Sakura dragging him down the hall. "No time for daydreaming Uchiha I just sent a slug to Tsunade, the Kazekage should be arriving sooner now .... somehow we'll dig Nami out of this crap." She mumbled quietly.
Itachi lifted a brow. "And yourself." He said.
Sakura shook her head. "I was bound to be thrown into this with or without your help ..... I'm Naruto's family ... they'd either kidnap me for my medic skills, or as bait, if not a spy." She replied silkily.
"Is that so?" Itachi asked.
"I've looked into all paths I can take each and every calculate step turns to Akatsuki ..... So me being dug out is useless it is a direction the gods have chosen for me." Sakura said as she loosened her grip on her arm.
"Does any of these calculated paths lead to being the Akatsuki leaders concubine?" Itachi asked slightly curious.
Sakura smirked. " ........ Like I said Spy, bait, or medic." She replied
Itachi nodded his head in understanding. She was right as long as she was part of the group that cared deeply for Naruto she'd be pulled into the Akatsukis sight somehow ... the same went with his brother, the copy nin, and the Hyuga heiress. All of them are likely candidates to be bait, but Sakura has more uses for them than just that one, she was strong, and beautiful. One way or another if she ever came into contact with the Akatsuki any of them one of them would want her as their own.
...... Actually now that he thought about it he was Akatsuki and he already had her ..... and now Pein wanted her.
Should he have really made it sound as though he was challenging the older man? He was positive that if Sakura followed him back to Akatsuki Pein would surely dispose of him if he stood in his way of getting to her.
'I wonder if it's sunk in to her yet that truly is interested in her?' Itachi thought to himself
"Sakura you do realize how bad the situation really is for you right?" He asked
She stopped they were right in front of the double doors all he had to do was reach out and grab the knob. She spoke her voice a mixture of emotions. Shock, disgust, anger, mortification, irritation.
"He was petty straight to the point, that and that woman Konan who was glaring at me the entire time pretty much said it all, not to mention you missed the part where he was all up one me ... lieterally, I'm pretty sure that I understand how bad the situation is for me." She replied.
Before he could say anymore the double doors opened and Shisui and the others walked in, stopping at the sight of them. "Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame, and Tokushima Deidara are to be put in solitary confinement until said otherwise." Sakura said as she reached into her jumped and pulled out a tan square shaped bandaid looking thing.
She grabbed Itachis hand and slapped it onto his palm he watched as it dissolved into his skin and instantly he could feel his Sharingan deactivating on its own. "Haruno-taicho where do you wish for me to put the patch on Tokushima?" Yugao asked.
"The back of his neck." Sakura replied easily.
Shisui patted his back. "Don't hate us, this is just standard procedure .... you know." He said
Itachi nodded his head and let his older cousin escort him. "You know I have the worst feeling that this will make the ladies fall even deeper for you." Shisui whispered in his ear. Sakura who had happened to be walking behind them whacked the older man on the head.
Shisui rolled his eyes.
Pein wathed and listened as Itachi was escorted out of the building by another Uchiha, and Haruno Sakura. The girl had the head tied to her jumpsuit. He wondered vaguely what he thought.
He had seen her picture when he had broken into Konoha, although he had not expected her to have changed this much over a short period of time. She had grown to be a beauty, one of a kind with her pretty pink hair, and hypnotizing green eyes. And the way her voice sounded ... It was a voice he'd never heard before, it was all her own.
He wondered what she though of his gift.
He didn't ponder much though it was merely the first gift she probably though he was merely playing with her.
Playing like she played him with that innocent act she put on at the last minute. He shouldn't have gotten caught up in it, but he could resist the way she batted her eyelashes, and changed her sexy tone to helpless.
She stopped walking and watched as the others went ahead of her before she bent down at one of the rose bushes and picked a rose off. peeling a few rose petals, her fingertips glowing blue with chakra.
She was sending a message. Using petals as parchment.
Interesting truly interesting.
She blew them into the wind. and they disappeared down a path she made for them. She watched them fly away.
She her head whipped at the tree he was in. Her eyes calm and collected as she meet eyes with him.
She knew he was there and she didn't alert anyone. Such a peculiar kunoichi. Perhaps he should confront her right now.
A womans sing song voice made the girl turn away from him. He watched as the Kazekages sister wrapped an arm around her, and skipped off with her.
"Sakura-chan whatcha doin' back here all alone?"
The pink haired kunoichi shook her head. "Nothing just admiring nature that's all." She replied her voice back to that scratchy tone of hers.
He smirked.
If Itachi wanted to truly compete with him for her, he should prepare himself.
Sasori watched as Pein stared after Sakura, he shook his head. First him ,then Itachi, and now Pein.
Sakura was possibly the worse person someone would want to be, three S-class criminals wanted her for their own. With her luck she'd accidentally stumble upon Madara and attract him to herself as well.
He cleared his throat before he spoke. "Madara wants a report now." He informed.
Pein nodded his head obviously not caring what the elder Uchiha wanted. "Where is he?" He asked.
"East of the woods." Sasori replied.
Pein brushed passed him. Itachi basically challenged Pein. He'd sit back and watch the two destroy each other. And when they both killed eachother off he'd take the ultimate prize.
He smiled.
His mother should be proud of him.
