CAPTURED

"Little girl," The red headed puppeteer said in a monotone. "I'd watch my tongue if I were you."

She glared with her piercing emerald eyes and spat out heatedly. "Likewise, puppet."

xSakuraWings© 2011

The only reason the top medic and apprentice of the Godaime Hokage was here in a room stuck with the well-known criminal organization, was because of her solo mission of course.

A mission as easy as pie, she thought. It was just going to the Fire Country to get her shissou's scrolls from an owner of a tea house. How hard would that be? Well, the pie mission was terribly, horribly a big mistake she made.

Sakura almost had the urge to slam her head into the nearest wall for being so-so clumsy and foolish! How can she just waltz into a room full of Akatsuki criminals?

The wheels inside her head instantly begin to spin, she had to get out of here right now without fighting any of them. She needed a quick plan but she was no genius like Shikamaru or Neji. She bit her lip in frustration, obviously knowing she'll have to deal with these 8 men in the room and avoid any blood shedding- of her own blood of course.

She wasn't going to be killed by the most dangerous group of criminals. Still refusing to give up without a fight, she stared at them icily and prepared herself in a battle stance. Glaring daggers and kunais at the Akatsuki members and spoke in a hissing voice, "Akatsuki." She was a little taken aback by the tone of her voice full pure hatred and venom.

The Akatsuki members had just begun their meeting about using the pink haired medic for their own benefits and advantages.

The foul mouth Hidan and the money lover Kakuzu had just returned a few hours ago after retrieving an order from their Leader to capture the medic. Kakuzu had the pinkette slumped and hanging limply over his broad shoulders. Hidan was looking a bit unsastified and indignant.

"..greedy bastard.." They heard him mumbling to himself, but their ears were sharp enough to catch every word he mumbled.

Pein had just instructed for their soon to be medic to be placed inside the quest room. It was just a few rooms away from their conference room. If anything were to happen, they would surely sense it.

It was just the first five minutes of their meeting, before an odd pinkette had burst (sneaked) inside. Straight away, all their attention was diverted to the pink haired medic who looked stunned.

She slowly closed the door, not aware of their presence and she let out a sigh of relief. Her tense shoulders relaxed as she wiped the line of sweat from her forehead.

The relief soon turned into horror when she scanned the room and found 8 pairs of eyes staring right back at her. They noticed her mouth hung slightly agape as if trying to say something but none of the words came out.

After a few seconds of silence, they heard her cursing softly to herself. Then, her emerald eyes gazed at them fiercely. "Akatsuki." The poison venom rolled off her tongue.

At that moment, they were either in dismay or amusement. However, they never took their eyes off the attractive pinkette. None of them did.

"Hello, sexy bitch." Hidan spoke up as he winked at her. A few death glares aimed at him but he didn't pay attention to them. Sakura gave the Jashinist a blank look. Was he still flirting with her in this situation?

'He's got the hots for you, girl.' 'Bah, I'm not interested, Inner. The only thing I wish for now is to escape from this hell hole.'

Zetsu the plant man thought she looked delicious. She smelled good and tasty. As she observed her more, he thought he might just not eat her yet.

"Sakura Haruno." A cold voice spoke. Sakura frozed as this voice spoke, this person has a sinister chakra whom she presume is the Leader of the Akatsuki. There was absolutely no way she can beat this man. Drawing green chakra to her hands, Sakura prepared herself for an attack. But none came.

"You do not have enough chakra." The familiar voice came from behind her. Her heart pounded. Her fist clenched tightly and she gritted her teeth. "Do not be foolish, medic."

Turning around, she swung her fist laced with green chakra at the enemy. Her fist had almost made contact with the Akatsuki leader but he turned into smoke. Her eyes went wide when the enemy's clone turned into smoke. But this was her chance.

The doorway to exit was now clear from any enemy. She felt her mouth curved upwards as the lunged at the unlocked door. Blinking quickly, Sakura pumped more chakra into her feet making her go faster and began sprinting out of the room. She could hear them leaping to their feet and going after her.

Her heart pounded faster and faster as she made her way through the dark hallway. She had to escape no matter what.

'Which way to escape?' She silently asked herself as she urged her legs to speed up. 'The Akatsuki are just right behind me, I can sense their chakra getting closer and closer.'

'Must create a distraction!' She stopped suddenly. The pinkette gave a loud roar as her chakra laced fist punched the brick wall, making a giant hole in it. She wouldn't give a damn, grabbing the huge chunk of the stone which fell onto the floor and threw it to them with force.

The blue man's eyes widened slightly at the display of the pinkette's brutal strength, before he smirked. 'So this is the girl that Sasori spoke of, the one with enormous strength.' Kisame let out a low chuckle as he chased after the pinkette.

A giant stone was hurled at them by Sakura. Without much effort, they avoided it easily without injuring or hurting themselves.

All she knew was, she kept running and running but she couldn't find a way out. It was like she was trapped in a maze. She was a little mouse being chased after by cats. She was their prey, they were predators.

She gasped when a black tendril came from behind and curled around her left leg, making her abruptly stop and falling forward. Her body crashed onto the hard floor. She groaned and inclined her head. The culprit was none other than the stitched man who had carried her here.

'Shit. Shit. Shit.' 'I can hear you, I'm not deaf!' '..Shit!'

The black tendrils started to wrap around her legs in a tight knot. There was no way she can run now. She blinked nervously. Her body shook with fear.

"I told you it was foolish." Pein spoke tonelessly.

The pinkette attempted to free herself but failed. Sakura glared at the Akatsuki leader who looked emotionless. She did not reply, for fear she might get a violent blow by the cruel and fearsome leader.

Her head whipped back around to see other Akatsuki members staring down at her with amusement glinted in their eyes.

Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted up and the tendrils unleashed themselves from her legs. Small little strings were attached to her limbs and hands as it moved her body. "What the-"

She was being controlled like a puppet, she noted. The strings navigated her as they made her legs moved to their direction.

"Little girl." She remembered the familiar voice. Raising her head, her green eyes met with hazel ones. The puppeteer smirked devilishly at the girl in front of him. Afterall, this was the girl who had killed him in the first place.

"I hope you didn't forget me." The pinkette despised himi. All she wanted to do was wipe that stupid smirk off his face. That is if she had control of her body.

Sakura narrowed her eyes at him. "What the hell are you?" She heard a few laughter and chuckles behind of Sasori. She felt herself smirked. The red head's smirk turned into a frown.

Sakura almost flinched at his dangerous tone. "I'd watch my tongue if I were you," His eyes bore into hers. "Little girl." Sakura hated people who called her weak names and little girl was one of those names. She glared heatedly at him before spatting out, "Likewise, puppet."

She was slammed against the wall by force and the puppet master hovered over her. "After all those years, you still have quite a tongue." Sakura winced at the pain of her back making contact against the cold stone wall. The pinkette felt his hands pinning hers onto the wall just above her head.

"I see you've grown, little girl." Sasori observed her from head to toe. "As much as I love to make you into my puppet," he whispered hotly into her ear, only loud enough for her to hear. Sakura felt her blood rush to her cheeks as she blinked repeatedly. "It'll go against my principle for killing beautiful things." Sasori held no grudge on the pinkette even if she had killed him before this, it was forgotten easily when he saw her luminous emerald eyes.

Sasori eyed the masterpiece in front of him. She had porcelain soft skin and soft pink hair as well as piercing emerald orbs, what a fine doll she'll be. But he won't be turning her into a puppet, she wouldn't be as stunning as this if she were a lifeless puppet.

It was humorous that he was now facing the same girl who had killed him a few years ago. It was humiliating to be killed by a little girl who had silly pink hair and weird green eyes. He knew was aware that her strength was unmatched when she saw her punch through and break a large rock ten times her sizes breaking it into tiny small pieces unseen by the eye.

She just simply took his breathe away when she stood in front of him. Beautiful. Strong. Exotic. Captivating.

After she left him for dead, his partner, Deidara had arrived just in time to save him. He hated to acknowledge the blonde artist, but indeed he saved his life and now he owed him a favor.

But in order to keep living, Sasori had to sacrifice something very precious to him- his puppet form. Now, he was a living human, capable to feeling love, sadness, happiness and pain.

His grip on her hand tightened and the pinkette let out a soft hiss. "Stupid puppet."

The red head inclined his head to the Leader, asking what to be done next. His strings still attached to Sakura as he slowly stepped away from her.

"Sakura Haruno," A deep voice spoke from the shadows.

Taking a breath, the pinkette's emerald eyes darted to a figure. Sakura was still facing the Akatsuki members with her back on the cold stone wall. She was feeling very uncomfortable right now.

Sakura's eyes looked forward as the Akatsuki members slowly give way to their Leader to approach her. A man with fiery orange hair and had blue ringed eyes.

She noticed that the Akatsuki leader had lots of piercings and it made him look very threatening. Sakura Haruno was no wimp, she had been in terrible conditions and she had fought with many dangerous enemies. This had no effect on her.

"Are you the apprentice of the slug princess?" He asked her in a demanding tone.

She rolled her eyes in front of them then glared.

The sharingan user wanted to approach her but was stopped by the blue man. "Better don't interfere in this if you still want to live, Itachi." His partner warned him in a joking manner. "Hn."

"Are you asking for a death wish, medic?" Pein's ringed eyes glared at her.

Sakura did not face the Akatsuki leader. "Release me, now." She spoke in a serious tone. It didn't matter to her whoever she was saying it to.

His husky voice commanded, "Sasori."

Immediately, she felt her arms and limbs throbbed in great pain. She winced from the great pain. It felt like tiny knifes and kunais were cutting and slicing through her skin. Sakura collapsed onto the ground with her eyes closed and her teeth gritting loudly.

Pein kneeled down on the floor, his attention focused onto the pinkette lying on the floor. "Now will you listen to my offer?"

He grabbed a lock of her soft pink hair and leaned in closer to her. "This might be a very tempting offer for you." Sakura's eyes quickly snapped open and stare at the piercing ringed eyes.

"Ceh," snapped Sakura. "What makes you think I'll agree?" Despite the situation she was currently in, Sakura still let her Inner's instincts take over.

"I demand you to release me," her voice went low."..right now." The agitated pinkette looked like she was ready to claw the Akatsuki leader to death but he seemed unaffected by the girls' hostile stare at him.

"Medic," Pein dropped his voice. "Unless you want to die here, right now," he snapped. "I suggest you to listen to my offer." He pulled her hair roughly, making her head jerk backwards.

Sakura sneered, "Kill me then."

If Pein had no controls of his emotions, he would have torn Sakura's head from her body or his mouth would have dropped open so wide a fly would enter inside, but still he kept on his poker face.

The tall bulky blue man nearly fell down from laughter. "Oh boy!" Kisame chuckled, "We've got a tough one to deal with this time!" He kept laughing until his stomach hurts, it was the first time he'd seen a girl that naïve and aggressive who dared to challenge their leader even though she was in a grave position.

"I second that, un!" Deidara grinned as he shook his head. This girl's got some spunk and a die-hard attitude. He laughed a bit then winced when his injured hand throbbed painfully.

The Akatsuki members all smirked in amusement. The pinkette was really interesting enough to capture their attention.

"Silence." A deep voice echoed through the hallway.

Pein was pissed off. He was always to calm and recollected, who would have known it would just take a pink girl to make him frustrated.

Deidara snickered when he nailed that part straight on. This girl has pushed their leader too far on the brink of his patience.

"I'll have a little private chat with her." Sakura shot him a surprised look. Miraculously, she had survived after challenging the fearsome Akatsuki leader. 'Why didn't he kill me? Damn it.'

Kisame shrugged and carried the poor pinkette away. "You've brought this upon yourself," he said sarcastically. "Pink midget." Her reply was a low growl.

Tsunade had just received a report from her ANBU spy today morning.

It was Shino who had been scouting somewhere near the Fireboarder Country. The Hokage-sama had informed him to keep an eye on her prized apprentice who had a simple mission at the Fire Country.

She nearly broke her pen into two pieces when she heard Shino's report.

"Hokage-sama, I've been going all around the Fire Country but there was no sign of your apprentice, Sakura Haruno."

"What-" Her voice sounded hoarse.

"Sakura Haruno was not at Fire Country." The ANBU spy looked a bit edgy.

"I said, what happened to her?" Tsunade took over again, her mouth in a frown. Her brows knitted together and her grip on the pen tightened.

"I have no idea, Hokage-sama." He tried to cover his fear. No man would want to get on the bad side of this woman, they would end if staying in the hospital for a month if they did so.

Tsunade slumped in her chair, she still wore a frown on her face. "Did she get the scrolls?" She inquired further. "No, she did not."

The Hokage-sama shook her head. 'I knew it, I never should have let her gone alone for this mission.'

Tsunade noticed the boy's nervousness. She nodded at him. "You're dismissed. You may leave now."

Shino hesitated, then turned on his heel and left the room. The blonde woman could feel another big headache coming.

Knock. Knock.

She glared at the door. "Enter!" her loud voice booming throughout the room. When the figure stepped inside the room, Tsunade felt a bit relieved.

"She's in danger, isn't she?" Tsunade massaged her temples and eyed the raven haired boy who had returned to Konoha a few years ago after being persuaded by Naruto and Sakura. She still had a bit of mistrust in Sasuke Uchiha.

"Uchiha," she spoke, glancing at him for a few seconds. Then, she gazed out of the window as though she was thinking of something. "I'm afraid she is."

The Uchiha growled at her before he stalked out of the room.

A few minutes later, Tsunade reached for the sake below her desk. She had hidden it from Shizune. She knew that this was not going to end well.

"I know you're there," she scoffed. "Jiraiya."

A gallant figure came out from the shadows. "Tsunade," he said in a firm voice. "What're you going to do?" He gazed at his drinking buddy, his team mate and his lover.

"I don't know," she took a sip of her sake. "I honestly, don't know," she gulped the whole bottle of sake, indulging herself into the alcohol.

"Sasori-danna!" Deidara turned to his red head partner. "That was the girl who killed you right, un?"

Ignoring his partner's teasing, Sasori replied grimly. "Yes."

Deidara looked bewildered. Sasori wanted to punch the blondie for being so irritating. Why was he even partnered with him in the first place? Oh right, the Leader. And why was he killed by this pink haired girl? Why did it have to be her they had to capture? Why, oh why.

"Danna? Sasori,un?" Deidara called.

Sasori frozed and stopped in his steps. His eyes went wide then back to normal. His hazel eyes looked at Deidara's boringly. "What?"

The bomber raised his left eyebrow in a questioning manner for his weird behavior. Then, the blonde smirked cheekily, "Is it fun being a mere human?"

A second later, puppets and clay bombs were flying all over the hallway. Everyone in the base felt a massive explosion. "Take that, un!"

.

Sakura wished that God would put an end to her life right now.

'Kill me now, Inner.' 'Psh, I wish I could.' 'Use that perverted thinking of yours, I might nosebleed to death.' 'Alright. Imagine the hot and gorgeous Pein-sama topless and on top of us, thrusti-'

"Oh God!" the pinkette shrieked.

Pein who was sitting right in front her was tempted to answer 'Yes?' but he kept silent anyway. The calm Rinnengan user spoke, "I suppose you're done with those illusions of yours."

Sakura quickly rebuted, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Pein's piercing eyes stared at her. Sakura felt they were piercing through her soul. "If you don't control that tongue of yours," he warned her. "I'll annihilate it."

Sakura scoffed.

"Good girl." Actually, he found it quite funny the way she would react when he said something, it only sparks up his interest and amusement more.

"My offer is peace for Ame and Konoha," he spoke in a deep voice making Sakura shivered slightly.

Sakura's mouth went wide. "Seriously?" She blurted out. "How can I trust you?" Her emerald eyes glinted vicously. "You hurt my friends and tried to kill them! And now you seek peace?" She spoke boldly. "What kind of sicko are you?"

Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder, gripping her strongly. "Until you learn some respect, medic. You'll be punished." His voice dripped with venom and pure anger.

He twisted her shoulder roughly, slamming her onto the table. "If you resist this offer, Konoha will be destroyed." The pinkette gasped and stopped struggling. Pein continued his abusement on her, pressing Sakura hard onto the table. "We'll kill the Kyuubi vessel."

It wasn't a statement, more like a threat. Sakura kept quiet. Pein continued, "All we ask for is a medic." Sakura face mocked him. "You," he said huskily, "must work together with us."

Sakura whimpered slightly when she felt sharp nails digging into her skin causing it to bleed. "I will not take no for an answer."

He got off her and sank back into his seat. "You will heal Deidara's arm tomorrow."

Sakura could feel her tears going to burst out but she held them back, refusing to let Pein witness any more of her weakness. She grasped the door knob and paused. "Pein," the pinkette whispered.

He replied smoothly, "What, Sakura?" He sound a bit relief that her temper had subsided.

"You promise," she spoke softly. "If you ever go against that promise, I'll fucking rip you apart." Her hands trembled slightly as she spoke menacingly.

Her reaction was a bit uncalled for. "You're in no condition to propose anything, medic."

The obstinate pinkette mumbled, "Stupid ass," and slammed the door with force.

Pein almost winced when the door slammed hard. He sighed and lay back on his chair, putting his hands on top and behind his head. He drifted to his thoughts. That medic has a scent of flowers and strawberries. Not that he disliked it or anything, it was charming.

Now, they had a medic who was willingly going to heal him and his men, he would have the least of worries or so he thought.
