Title: The Radiance of the Moon

Chapter: Two – The Dawning of the Moon

Coupling: DeiSaku, with suggestions of others.

Summery: No one knew of Sakura's hidden life, her life behind the mask of happiness. And they probably never would. But when she finally claims to start going insane if she stayed another day, a year of leave from her current residence is set up by her true family under the impression of it being a mission. In this year, will Sakura find true love amongst her real family, kill yet another in her built up anger, or both and even more? – DeiSaku

Disclaimer: (Forgot this on the last one, yeah, I'm a retard… -.-) I do NOT own Naruto. Never have, never will…

Warning: This chapter has humor in it. I was in the mood for humor so it has quite a few funny things in it. Well, funny for ME anyways… It also has a bit of activity. Nothing HUGE. Just enough to put Deidara and Tobi into shock…


Blood was still fresh in the air as Sakura walked with Itachi away from the forest. A few minutes ago, the two ninja that had accompanied Sakura on the 'mission' were slaughtered and mutilated beyond recognition. They were stripped of clothing and then burned. Their ashes were scattered so no one would be able to find them, then the clothes were destroyed. The hiteate were taken since they would not be so easily destroyed and the metal would probably be melted down to make weapons or be used in the future for some other purpose. As long as they didn't accidentally get rid of Sakura's spare one. The kunoichi had two hiteate. One with a scratch through it, and the other was clean. One which was real and the other for show when inside of the village. Now she sported the scratched hiteate as well as a black cloak with red clouds. On her left pinky was the ring that had been worn around her neck since she was eight.

Sakura let out a sigh as she looked up at the sky. She then turned her attention down to her left hand, smiling at the ring. She had all of the time in a year to finally be free, so she was going to have as much fun as possible in this year. She was finally free. Walking by the Uchiha clan murderer, she finally felt at peace. He was taking her to the Akatsuki lair where she would finally meet everyone face to face and not have to attack them. Life was good… So good in fact, that she was so busy fantasizing about it that she didn't realize how much time had gone by and that they were now standing in front of the entrance. Her thoughts were broken by Itachi clearing his throat.

Sakura blinked and looked over at Itachi, a bit confused. But when she looked in front of her, she understood. "Oh… Sorry about that Itachi. I guess I'm a bit anxious to finally be able to stop acting like such a little princess…" she said with a small smile as Itachi nodded and led her into the lair. The entrance wove a bit, kind of like a gopher tunnel, until they finally came out into a big room. No one was present but it was obviously the living room. There was a couch, tables, chairs, and the like. So, it was hard to mistake it for anything but the living room. Along the walls were doors that led to more tunnels to other rooms and such. Sakura could easily guess a few of them. One HAD to lead to a bathroom; it would have been crazy if one did not. Another was probably the kitchen and/or dining area. One probably led to the hall which had the bedrooms, another for probably some dungeons or something. Maybe one was for a clothes washing room; god she hoped they washed their clothes… And the one she was headed towards she guessed was the conference room of sorts where they had meetings with the leader.

For some reason, Sakura felt a knot in her throat and was unable to speak as she came closer to the door. Reaching over, she grabbed Itachi's hand and squeezed it in hopes of some comfort. After all, Sakura did kill one of her own not too long ago. This wasn't really a romantic notation to the Uchiha. But since she couldn't bring herself to speak, she needed reassurance that they weren't going to try to kill her because of the death of Sasori.

Itachi almost freaked a bit when he felt Sakura grasp his hand. He wasn't about to show it on his face. But inside he was freaked out that the kunoichi had just grabbed his hand out of no where. He started to wonder what was going on in her screwed up head and probably was going to break her hand when he looked over and saw the fear of rejection and death in her eyes. Well, he couldn't really blame her. After all, she did have to kill Sasori to stay under cover. He didn't doubt Deidara would be pissed off all to hell. But he didn't know about the others so much… But still, the hand thing? And god how he wished she didn't have such a firm grip. It was more disturbing and gross to him now. Just because…well…it was Sakura… He figured she wouldn't let go and gave her hand a small squeeze. And he thanked every god he could think of when she let go of his hand. He would have to sterilize it later. It's not that he hated Sakura… It was just weird and gross to have her holding his hand when he was in NO way attracted to her or that he even liked her above a level of team mate… Besides… 'Ugh! Girl cooties are on my hand now! Get it off! Get them off!' No one saw it, but he slipped his hand inside of his sleeve and vigorously rubbed his hand upon his…wait… He wasn't wearing pants… Reaching up to wipe his hand on his shirt, he realized he wasn't wearing one of them either… 'No! Stupid day to go practically nude under my cloak! Ehheeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh… Get it off!!!!' Yes, the great Itachi was whining to himself in his mind because Sakura had touched his hand… So much in fact, he hadn't realized the female had already started to head into the tunnel and had to run after her.

Sakura sighed as she walked down the tunnel. She hadn't realized she had abandoned Itachi back at the door until she heard him running to catch up to her. She had reached the door at the other end before he stood by her side. With a gulp, she grabbed the knob upon the door and pushed it opening, almost dreading walking inside but lusting for it all at the same time.

-A few minutes earlier in the room-

"A new member, un?!" Deidara exclaimed as he heard Pein address them with the new news that they had all gathered for.

"That is not completely correct. She has been with us for eight years. None of you but Itachi has really met her face to face before. She has been under cover in Konoha, keeping tabs upon Kyuubi for us. She has become a great asset to us and today she is coming to join us for a year after being assigned to a fake mission Itachi created to get her out," Pein said as he let out a sigh and wondered how much longer it would be for the two to arrive.

"Tobi thinks that this person is a girl…" Tobi muttered as he tilted his head to the side in a puppy dog like fashion.

"No, you think, un?" Deidara shot to the lollipop masked boy with a small glare. He was a bit upset with all of this. There was a female member who had been there for eight years and none of them even knew it. AND she was from Konoha and keeping tabs on Kyuubi. Why weren't they told any of this? But he was ripped from his thoughts as the door opened and two people walked in. His eyes widened at the sight of the female by Itachi's side. 'She… She's the one that killed Sasori no Danna!' Pain, anger, hatred, it all boiled inside of him as he saw the girl walk up and stand center with Itachi next to her. He could never forget that pink hair and those green eyes… It was her…

"Everyone, I would like you to meet our spy of Konoha, Haruno, Sakura. She was recruited at the age of eight and has been loyal to us ever since that day. I can see that a few of you recognize this young Kunoichi. Yes, she is the one who killed Sasori. She did it upon my orders to keep under cover. To avoid it would have been to expose who she was," Pein said as Itachi left her side and went to his position. Sakura turned around to face everyone as Pein continued. "For the year that she is here, you will all treat her as a member or else you shall be punished. Zetsu, Sakura is your partner and you will be doing missions together. On that note, Sakura is our official medic. If you need anything, go to her. That is all." He dismissed the group thinking that it would be best to let them figure everything else out through time. It was boring to watch them just get along right off of the bat. It was more entertaining for him to watch them try to understand and get to the bottom of everything.

Sakura sighed as she walked out of the room behind the others. She knew there were a few crude looks given to her while she was in there. That is why she had waited so long to turn around. For some reason, the fear of rejection from when she was a child had come back. She didn't know why it worried her so much. It didn't matter if she fit in with them, right? She fit in perfectly fine with Itachi… So she didn't have to worry about the others. But for some reason that fear just came back…

"So, you're Haruno, Sakura?" Amu (A/N: Amu stands for Akatsuki Member Unknown. Incase you don't know what I am talking about, this is the unknown member of the Akatsuki; the blue haired female.) said as she watched Sakura come from the tunnel and into the living room area. Everyone was with her, staring at the girl.

"Yes, I am… And who are you?" Sakura asked as courage built up inside of her. There was no way she was going to show anything to these people.

"I am Amu, Pein's partner. Probably the only one here who knew about you besides Itachi and Pein himself," Amu said as she kept her eyes upon Sakura in a hard stare.

"Well, good for you then. I'm glad you have the guts to sleep with Pein to get information out of him in which you have no business with," Sakura said as she returned the gaze, knowing the others were shocked at her defiance against Amu.

Amu couldn't help but feel shocked herself. No one had ever tried to go up against her, let alone say something like that to her face. "Why…you little…"

"Little what…? Hmm?" Sakura pushed as she raised an eyebrow, a smirk forming on her lips, "Spare me having to listen to you. You aren't worth my time… I came here for peace away from that damn Kyuubi, not to listen to some stuck up slut. Oh, and by the way, did anyone ever tell you how much you look like a man?" Oh yes, she was pushing it. But to be able to say cruel things to people… Oh how lovely it felt! To be able to throw about rude comments and crude remarks without care of giving anything away. Oh it was blissful… Like sex without the sex! But she was ripped from her fantasy world of bliss as a punch came at her face. She easily dodged it to see Amu smashing her fist into the wall. "Oh dear, you are quite weak, aren't you?" Sakura asked with a smirk as she pumped Chakra into her fist and gave a back hand punch to the wall she stood in front of. The wall easily crumbled to the scene of Kisame stepping into the shower, but naked.

A girlish scream came from the fish like man as he felt a draft and turned around to see everyone staring at him in horror/shock. Kisame dove into the shower only to remember it was one that had the glass, so you could still see through it… Thus, he gave another scream and grabbed a towel, throwing it around himself as he slammed the shower door shut and tried to hide in a corner…

And the whole day seemed to go by like that… Amu and Sakura fighting to be the Alpha Female of the Akatsuki, the male members either getting humiliated or injured when accidentally getting in the cross fire, and some entertainment for the members who were smart enough to just watch.

As a matter of fact, it seemed the next few days went by like that. Finally, four days after Sakura came; peace was made between Amu and Sakura. And there was finally a safe chance for conference with one member who had kept his eyes upon the female for a safe moment.

"Hey! Stop, un!" Deidara shouted as he spotted Sakura idly walking around the tunnels.

Sakura looked behind her as someone called to her and raised an eyebrow at the blonde haired boy as he ran up to her, rage obviously upon his face. Now, Sakura knew she had seen this boy before. But it only took a second to click… "You're the one who was with Sasori when I killed him…" she said as she crossed her arms and stared up into his blue eyes.

"Duh, un! And I'm going to get my revenge for him, un! I won't let you live after what you did to Sasori no Danna, yeah!" Deidara shouted in rage at Sakura as he took another step towards her.

"What are you going to do to me, 'un?'" Sakura asked as she mimicked the blonde boy, "You heard Pein, I was ordered to kill him to keep my cover."

"That doesn't matter, un! You still killed him, un!" Deidara shouted as he gripped his hands tightly.

Sakura sighed and rolled her eyes at Deidara. "Listen, I don't even know your name. And I already told you, so did Pein… I. Was. Ordered. To-"

"I don't care, un! My name is Deidara, and I'm going to-"

"Going to what? Kill me? Feh, I'd like to see you try. If I can kill your precious Sasori 'no Danna' when he doesn't even know who I am and doesn't hold back, then what makes you think I can't kill you all the same, hmmm?" Sakura asked as she, in turn, took a step towards Deidara. God this guy reminded her of Naruto and it was already pissing her off.

"Deidara-senpai!!!" Tobi sung as he practically skipped down the tunnel towards the two, "Tobi thinks Deidara-senpai and Sakura-chan are becoming good friends! Tobi likes making friends, can Tobi be Sakura-chan's friend, too?!"

"Shut UP, Tobi, un! And go away, un! I am not making friends with this thing! She's the one that killed Sasori no Danna, un!" Deidara shouted as he pointed an accusing finger at Sakura. Deidara should have known it was useless, for Tobi just ignored him and was talking to Sakura. "Tobi...! BAD BOY, un!"

Tobi instantly shut up and got wide eyed, though you couldn't see it behind his mask. He zoomed towards Deidara and latched himself onto Deidara's leg. "NO! Tobi, GOOD BOY! Tobi GOOD BOY!!!" he cried out as he tried to change the blonde's mind.

Deidara growled as he tried to shake Tobi off of his leg, "NO! Tobi is NOT a good boy, un! Tobi is a bad boy, un! Bad boy Tobi, un!" But he decided to ignore Tobi when he realized his prey might get away and rounded back on Sakura. "You! You will pay for what you did to Sasori no Danna, un!" He returned to pointing an accusing finger at Sakura's face and was about to thrust a hand into his clay pouch until his extended hand was grabbed by Sakura in a painful grasp.

"So, you really think you can make me pay for doing as I was ordered? Do you really think you will be able to stand up against me, Deidara no Danna…?" Sakura whispered, saying the last part in a semi-seductive tone. She was having fun with this. But, could she really help it anyways? Even she had to admit that Deidara wasn't that bad looking of a person. Sure he seemed a bit gay for Sasori, but he was pretty hot. And he seemed fairly easy to toy with. So, he would probably be the center of her fun from now on.

She smirked as she slowly turned over Deidara's hand and traced the mouth on his palm which opened and slowly wrapped its tongue around her finger.

Deidara blushed as his hand tongue wrapped around her finger. But, he was too stunned to really say anything, he didn't know why… But it brought images to his mind, none of them very clean.

Sakura smirked as she looked up at his face. "Do I taste good, Deidara no Danna?" she purred, knowing he could taste with his hands, and watching as his face got redder. She then brought his hand to her face and placed his hand tongue into her mouth.

Deidara and Tobi were in shock at this action. But more so Deidara as his face burst into red as his hand started to make out with Sakura, the girl who he had just been threatening. But, he couldn't bring himself to pull his hand away. He loved the taste of her mouth, the feeling of it as her tongue battled with the one upon his hand. The images in his mind just got worse… Or, in his opinion, better…

Sakura knew that this had put a stun on the two boys. How could it not? Besides, it was fun. After all, it wasn't everyday you could make out with someone's hand. It was quite an experience. Her tongue running over the one in his hand, battling with each other to be the dominant one. After a minute or two, she slowly pulled back from his hand. She gazed up at Deidara with lustful eyes, a smirk upon her lips as she slowly ran her tongue over them. "If your hand can do that, I can only imagine how good and tasty you must be, Danna…" she purred as she let his hand go and turned around with a swish of her cloak and disappeared at a turn in the tunnel.

Deidara kind of just stood there with Tobi attached to his leg, his hand still held out. His palm tongue licked its 'lips' before closing and smiling to itself. If it could have spoken, it probably would have said something not too clean. But Deidara could have cared less right now. He just had a girl make out with his hand, and she was damn good, too… She tasted good at that… And he was in just plain shock and his face was quite red.

Tobi stared after Sakura, his arms slumping off of Deidara's leg. After a few minutes he held his hands up and glanced down at his palms. 'Tobi wants hands like Deidara-senpai's...'


Notes: Yeah, not the best but I was trying to do a Naruto Chat with some people and get this up at the same time and I REALLY wanted to get it up today… I think it looks pretty well and I got a laugh out of it. So, sorry if it's not 100 the best, but the next one will be!

Also, sorry the kiss isn't all explained and graphic and everything. But I've never kissed anyone, let alone French kissed someone. So I'm not all that sure now to put major description to it. Don't worry about the future chapters this is rated M for. I've read A LOT of lemons in my time and I spend a lot of time on AFF reading Naruto stories, so don't worry about it. I think I'll do fine putting it together. I just haven't read a lot of descriptive kisses that I can remember, so forgive me… I will get better at them as the story goes on. Cause trust me, there will be more.
