Sonic Underground! Sonic Underground! Damn, that stupid song gets stuck in my head all the time. Anyhow, I don't own Naruto, because if I did, I would be a character in it and would be stuck in a love triangle between Naruto, Kiba, and Gaara. Wait, and also Neji. So kinda like a love trapezoid? Meh, I don't even know what I was talking about. If you are wondering why I didn't update for so long, to make a long story short... Procrastination. Oh, and I am also changing this to a SakuraXSasoriDeidaraTobi/MadaraI, and maybe Hidan and/or Pein and/or Itachi, because those are the only characters I really know that well. Oh, and also. in this story Tobi won't be old ugly Madara. You know those pictures of Tobi where he has his mask off and he looks all cute and boyish? Well, if you don't, google it, and if you do, that is how he is going to look. NOT all old and stuff. I have a little surprise for you TobiXSakura lovers in this chapter, and there is good news and bad news, though.

Sakura's POV
So we just got back from our mission to kill is how it went with that mission. We walked for about 3 days, through hot and cold, and when I finally was about to pass out from exaustion, we finally got there. Don't ask me how they knew where Orochimaru's hideout was. Anyways, when we got there, we found someone had stolen our fire. It seems that right when we got there, Sasuke Uchiha had left. He had also done our job for us of killing Orochimaru. So, what a sweet guy! I really didn't want to have to heal all of these people, anyways. So, exasperated, we pillaged a little, and then we went back to the Akatsuki hideout.
I was in Sasori and Deidara's room. I had convinced Pein to let me switch rooms back with Tobi. I had my Akatsuki cloak off and was looking through Deidara's clothes to find something that would fit me that wasn't... Pink.
As I rummaged, I came across something velvety and soft. This confused me greatly, for Deidara is a guy. I pulled it out of the drawer.
"What the heck?" I said out loud as I held up the dress that was in Deidara's drawer. It was black and short and embroidered with little flowers. "Okay. This is weird." I said to myself. I decided to keep it in his drawer for blackmail later, rather then ruin the suprise by telling everyone now. I continued rummaging.
Finally, I gave up and just went into my room and grabbed something fluffy and pink to put on. I wasn't used to wearing so much pink, even though my hair was pink. I usually wore red now, because pink was a little too girly for my tastes.
Tobi burst in when I was about to zip up the dress. "Sakura! Meeting time! You don't want to miss your second meeting!" Before I could say anything about the fact that I was almost naked, Tobi quickly zipped me up and pulled me out into the Akatsuki common room. Something felt wrong with the back of my dress, but I just ignored it. I sat through the meeting, Pein just saying all of the missions that we had accomplished. Blah, blah, blah.
After the meeting, I went back to my room and in the bathroom that me and Tobi shared. I locked the door and examined what felt odd about my dress. Oh my gosh... That little sneak! Tobi had undid my bra! I didn't know such a good boy could be such a... bad boy.
I was deciding whether to report this to Pein or to leave it alone, when Tobi knocked on the bathroom.
"Sakura... I have something to show you..." Tobi said in a strangely deep voice. "Come on, Sakura! Tobi is a good boy! He will not bite you unless you want him to." He said using a regular voice. That was odd.
I fixed my bra and called, "I'll be right out Tobi." I wondered what he wanted to show me. Maybe it was something cool! But if was probably something... Tobi-ish. I headed out of the bathroom to look at what Tobi wanted to show me.
Nobody was there. "Tobi? What did you want to show me?"
"BOO!" Tobi jumped out from behind a bed. "Ha ha, Tobi scared you, didn't he?" Tobi laughed.
"Yeah. Sure. What did you want to show me?" I'll admit, I was curious.
"Come with me." Tobi said, and he grabbed my wrist. He pulled me to a trapdoor behind his bed, and opened it up. There was a ladder leading down about 10 feet. It was dark and menacing looking.
"What's down there, Tobi?" I asked.
"You will see, Sakura. You will see." Tobi climbed down the ladder, urging me to follow him. I obliged, and soon I was surrounded by darkness. For once, Tobi was silent. "Shh." He said, and grabbed my hand this time. We went along a long passage, making a lot of turns. I wondered where we were going.
After what seemed about half an hour, we finally came to a stop. There was a ladder leading to a closed hatch, and Tobi climbed up to check if anyone was coming. It seemed that the coast was clear, and Tobi and I climbed up the ladder.
I gasped. We were right outside Konoha, and I saw Naruto talking with a big group of people. I strained to hear what he was saying. It seemed he was talking to Neji.
"...And now I'm a Chunin, so I was assigned to find a group of Ninja to help me find Sakura-Chan."
"Naruto, don't lie, obviously Shikamaru was given the assignment, no way you could become a Chunin..."
"I-I believe you, N-Naruto. It's really n-nice that you are going to look for S-Sakura..."
"All this talk is making me hungry..."
"What a drag, they don't believe you..."
Naruto sighed, and watched the sun hide behind a cloud. "You guys, I am serious, believe it! Ask Shikamaru, Grandma Tsunade appointed me to Chunin level!"
Kiba stepped up. "I think that we should go get ready and tomorrow set out to find Sakura."
"I agree with you, Kiba." Shikamaru said. "This is my second mission since I have been appointed a Chunin and I will promise that it will go perfect this time."
I turned away to look at Tobi. "Why did you take me here, Tobi?"
Tobi was silent. "Tobi saw Sakura was sad to be away from Konoha. Tobi wants Sakura to be happy."
"... Tobi..." I was speechless. Tobi really did care for me. "Thanks, but Tobi... I wont be happy unless I am near Sasori, Deidara, Pein, and the others. And most of all I won't be happy if I am away from you."
"So Sakura doesn't want to go back home?" Tobi said.
"I need to make a quick stop at my house to grab some clothes, though. Pink really isn't my color, if you have noticed."
We got back to the hideout. It seemed nobody had noticed that we were gone, and I suppose that was good. Me and Tobi were busy playing a game of Tickle-Each-Other-As-Much-As-You-Possibly-Can when we fell on his bed, laughing.
"Tobi, you are my best friend." I said. You always know how to make me laugh and how to cheer me up when I am sad." I laughed as Tobi tickled my ribs. "Oh, and I almost forgot to mention... Tobi is a good boy!"
"Yes! And Tobi will do whatever Sakura wants! Sakura is also Tobi's best friend!" Tobi said in reply.
I thought about that for a while. I had something I wanted Tobi to do very desperately, and you can probably guess what it was...
I wanted Tobi to take off his mask. But I didn't want to ask him to do it, I knew he must be very self-concious about his looks and whatnot, if he kept his mask on all the time. Or maybe he had a ugly scar, or maybe... Darn it, I want to ask him even more! But I didn't. I had a different plan to get what I wanted.
"Tobi, stand up for a minute. I need to show you something cool. It is called... A kiss."
"Ooh, that sounds fun! How does Sakura show Tobi a kiss?" Tobi asked, standing up.
"I don't show you a kiss, I give you one, silly." I said to Tobi.
"Ooh, okay. Tobi is ready!" Tobi stood up straight.
"Okay, Tobi, I want you to close your eyes, okay?" I said to him. Tobi obliged, and his one eye you could see was closed. I began to gently remove his mask. Tobi stiffened, but then decided he trusted me to remove it. He still had his eyes closed, and I got my first good glimpse at his face.
It was boyish, but cute, kind of like Naruto's but with no blue eyes or whiskers. His hair stuck up where his mask had been pushing it back, and he had a determined look on his face.
Tobi was so cute, instead of giving him a kiss on the cheek like I was going to, I kissed him full on the lips. His lips were soft, and as mine touched his, I wrapped my arms around his neck.
The kiss lasted about a minute before I had to pull away. "You can open your eyes now, Tobi." His eyes were as cute as his face. He looked at me with an innocent gaze on his face.
"Sakura, I think I like kisses now. They give me this funny feeling inside of me." Tobi wasn't using the creepy deep voice, but talking in his normal voice with the correct grammar.
"Yes, but Tobi, you cannot tell anyone that I kissed you and you can't go around kissing people."
"Why not?"
"Because... Kisses are special. We only give them to people we truly care for."
"You know, Sakura, this is the first time I have shown anyone my face without my mask on." Tobi said.
"Really? That's so sweet of you to let me remove it for the first time."
"Sakura..."
"Yes, Tobi?"
"Can you give me a kiss again? And can I try kissing you back?"
"...Of course you can, Tobi-kun."
We kissed each other for the rest of the night. I kissed him, he kissed me, we kissed eachother, we kissed standing up, we kissed sitting down, we kissed laying on his bed, we kissed, we kissed, we kissed. Soon it began to be night, and I soon fell asleep, embraced with Tobi's warmth, him still kissing me as I drifted into unconsiousness.
I woke up with a start at a knock on the door. Tobi was already up with his mask on, and I was in my own bed. I wondered for a second if it was all just a dream, but I felt the touch of his lips still lingering on mine and I knew that it wasn't.
Tobi got the door. Sasori was standing there with a slightly annoyed look on his face. "Is Sakura up?"
"No, Sakura-Chan just woke up now. What do you need her for? Tobi wonders..."
"She told me that today I could help her build a puppet and start trying to master it. She told me that she would meet me at the puppet room an hour ago..."
"Tobi will tell Sakura that Sasori needs her at puppet room. Okay. Sakura will be there soon." Tobi said to Sasori.
"Okay... Just don't keep me waiting any longer!" Sasori walked down the hallway.
As soon as he was away, Tobi turned to face me."Good morning, Sakura-chan! Sasori wants to see you today at the puppet room, so you better hurry. Also, Tobi can't come with you today, he has to retrieve your clothes from Konoha."
"Good morning, Tobi, and all right." I said.
"Oh, and Sakura? Tobi doesn't want you to get too close to Sasori. Tobi doesn't know why, he has another strange feeling...
"All right, Tobi." I headed into the bathroom to get ready after I grabbed a random pair of clothes out of my drawer. It seemed that the clothes I chose were from my pink attire, but I didn't mind today. I shoved on the pink tanktop and the pink camo capris and walked out of the bathroom fixing up my hair.
Before I left the room to go see Sasori though, I stopped near Tobi to flip up his mask, kiss him on the cheek, and smile. He replied to what I did by falling on the floor. I chuckled and left the room to go see Sasori.
He was looking very angry outside the puppet room. "There you are!" He said. " Why the heck did you-" He stopped when he saw what I was wearing.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing, nevermind." Sasori said. "Comeon, let's go build you a puppet.
The puppet room scared me still. I walked in slowly. The room looked like a whole bunch of body parts hanging around. I knew they were made of wood and not flesh, but it still creeped me out. Eager to get my mind off of the puppet parts, I decided to distract myself by talking to Sasori.
"So, where's Deidara? I thought he was going to come too." I said.
"He had to make more clay for his bombs." Sasori said. "Here, lets do something random. What's your favorite animal?"
"Umm..." I thought. "A... fox." I said, thinking of Naruto.
"A fox, eh? I know this room creeps you out, so..." Sasori ran around the room, grabbing random parts like a pro. He took the parts to a small back room I had never noticed before. It looked comfy. There was a big fluffy couch and a work counter with a stool near it. He set all the parts down on the work counter and grabbed a box labeled, "Poisions and Weapons". He also set it on the counter, too. He waved me into there and shut the door. "I know all of that room scares you, so I thought it would be more comfortable for you to work in here with me." He then set at work explaining what all the things were and how they worked.
"Do you know how to use Chakra Strings?" Sasori asked me.
"No, I don't..." I said to him.
He got up and grabbed an old puppet out of a box. It was faded and faceless. Sasori explained to me how much Chakra control it took and how long the strings needed to be able to reach and all of that. I soon had the puppet walking. It was walking shakily and slowly, but walking all the less.
"Sakura, you are a natural! Do you know how long it took me to control my chakra enough to make it move! But, neverthe less, something will happen in about a minute."
I began trying to make it move its arms and walk when I suddenly felt very weak. I feel back, and fell on the fluffy couch.
"And that's why I keep that couch there, Sakura. It happened a lot to me when I was creating my artificial body that you kindly destroyed. But no hard feelings." Sasori said, and went back to work on my puppet.
That made me wonder something. Was Sasori still a puppet? Or was he human? I didn't want to ask him, it was already awkward enough with me killing him and all. But I had the perfect plan.
I stood up shakily and walked over near him, pretending to look at a part while he examined my puppet. I pretended I was dizzy and fell onto him, where he fell onto the couch with me on top of him.
He was alive, and human. I could feel his chest rising up and down, and feel the warmth coming from him. I looked at him, and saw his red hair that was all over the place, a confused look on his beautiful face. I couldn't help myself. I leaned down and kissed him.
"Sakura... Did you just kiss me?" Sasori asked, confused. "I wasn't a human for a long time, and although while I was a puppet many women pursued me none of them were able to kiss me."
"...Yes. I suppose I did just kiss you..." I said.
"Well, feel free to keep going, your kisses are wonderful. It's like... I hate for using this word, but It's like an... Explosion of art."
Briefly I thought of Tobi. I decided not to kiss Sasori in fear of Tobi getting word of it. "Well, actually Sasori, I just kinda fell into a trance. I didn't mean to kiss you, I'm sorry... Let's just forget about it and get back to building my puppet, okay?" I said to Sasori.
For a minute, Sasori looked dissappointed. Then he stood up and said, "Yes. Of course."
I let out a mental sigh of relief. If Sasori asked, I would have kissed him again. But I was saving these lips for Tobi...
Later, after my puppet time with Sasori was over, while I was walking back to me and Tobi's room, Deidara came running up to me. "Sakura!" He yelled.
"Hey, Deidara. I heard from Sasori that you were going to get some more clay."
"Yeah, I was, and I want to show you something!" He grabbed my hand and began to pull me outside.
"Ew!" I suddenly shouted, and pulled my hand back from his.
"What happened?" Deidara asked.
"It licked me!"
"Oh... Heh heh, sorry..."
"EW! This means that you licked me!"
"It wasn't on purpose, hmm? Sometimes I can't control them! Sakura, you gotta believe me! I really want to show you this, un!"
"Whatever you have to show me, you can show me later! This is disgusting! I am going to go take a shower!" I said, and stormed away from Deidara. As I left, I turned around and saw his face. He looked so sad and dissappointed, and I almost turned around and walked back to him. Instead, I forced myself to run into me and Tobi's room. I wiped my hand on my Akatsuki cloak, and I opened the door to the bathroom. I turned on the water and shut the door.
After I got out, I wrapped myself in a towel. I wiped off the mirror and I then looked at my hair. It was getting pretty long, and it was easier to handle when it was short. I rummaged through the medicine cabinet, looking for a pair of scissors. I soon found a pair and snip snip, my hair was short again. It was shorter than before, but I thought it looked nice. It framed my face, and drew attention to my eyes. Ino would be proud of me.
I got dressed back in my clothes, and exited the bathroom. Only then did I realize that Tobi was missing. In my hurry to take a shower, I hadn't seen him. But he was gone, allright. I suddenly felt a queasy feeling in my stomach. I tried to push it away, thinking to myself, Tobi is strong, he should be allright. I don't think anything bad has happened to him at all. As much as I thought this, I couldn't shake the feeling that he was in trouble. I decided to go look around the base for him.
"Tobi? Tobiiiiiii!" I called. No answer came from the deserted hallways.
"S-Sakura..." I heard someone call from down the hallway. I began to run, and found Tobi there, blood all over him.
"Tobi!" I said. "What Happened?" (teehee)
"Ugh..." He said. I left the question hanging and began to inspect what was wrong.
Oh god.
Tobi is going to die...
If we don't get reviews soon.
OOOOOH! Cliffhanger, eh? Well, I will know if he dies or not by the number of reviews I get...
So if you all want your precious Tobi to live, then... REVIEW! And also, tell me your favorite partners, in case Tobi dies. But he won't die if you review! Okay!
P.S- I really don't wanna have to kill off Tobi, he is a big favorite of you guys, so please, review.
PPS- If you're wondering What Happened, I will explain all in the next chapter, whether Tobi dies or not.
