Chapter 5 The Mad Hatter

"Ugh…where am I?" Sakura grabbed her head. "Ow! What happened-"

"Shut up! And lay down!" A gun was pointed at her face.

"Ah!" Sakura moved away.

"Just kidding! I'll never kill you! You wanna know why? Because Tobi is a good boy!" A boy with an eye patch laughed happily.

"Don't scare her, Tobi!" A blue haired woman came in. "Tobi was just kidding, Konan!" Tobi whined. "I would be scared too if someone pointed a gun at my face." Konan rolled her eyes.

"What are you talking about? A lot of people pointed their guns at us and we killed them before they killed us!" Tobi frowned.

"Woah, never though you would say something smart!" Another person came in. "Master Deidara!" Tobi glomped him. "Get off!" Deidara pushed him away. "U-um…"Sakura felt uncomfortable. They turned to her. "Sorry, if we scared you. I'm Konan, this is Deidara you already know Tobi." Konan stated. Tobi waved happily at her.

"W-why am I here?" Sakura asked in confuse. Konana groaned. "We didn't mean to kidnap you, we where actually going to kidnap a girl with a knife." Konan explained

"But some idiots, thought that you were the Girl." Konan glared at Deidara and Tobi. "Uh we are sorry!" Deidara scratched the back of his head.

"It's fine, I'm Sakura Haruno by the way." Sakura said. "Nice to meet you!" Tobi shook her hand. "Come with me, Sakura!" Deidara took her hand and dragged her outside

"What are we doing here?"

Deidara looked at her. "Listen, I don't want any problems so…"

Konan came and punched his face. "Don't you dare kill her!" Deidara rubbed his nose. "I didn't plan to!"

Konan shook her head and took Sakura's Hand. "You're save in my room, I'll take responsibility of you." Sakura didnt say anything.

"Go to the sleep, you must be tired. And if you're hungry, there's some food inside the cupboard." Konan explained and walked away. Sakura sighed and lay down 'I'm more tired than hungry.' Sakura feel asleep.

The next day-

"Good morning, Konan! Konan?" Sakura looked around. 'Not here.'

The door opened. "Konan, I'll be leaving- Who are you?" An orange haired male stared at her. "I'm Sakura Haruno, Konan told me to stay here." Sakura stood up.

"I'm Pein, The Mad Hatter" Pein watched as Sakura's face paled. "Don't worry, I only kill people if they bring trouble to me"

Sakura didn't know if she should be relife or nervous. "You should be relife, I'm keeping you alive" Pein sighed. "You should hide your emotions better or enemies will use it against you."

Sakura stared blankly at him. "Do you know where I can finde The Heart Castle?" Pein raised an eyebrow. "You must be stupid or really brave if you want to meet the Queen." Sakura shrugged. "I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment."

Pein stared at her and started to laugh. "You are really funny, I like you."

Sakura bushed and sighed. "I'll leave now." Sakura walked pass him.

"I can bring you to the Heart Castle you now."

Sakura stopped Walking. "But not for free right?"

Pein smiled. "What a smart woman you are!" Pein patted her head. "S-stop it!" Sakura blushed. "And what should I do for you, Pein?"

Pein walked away. "I'll think of something, come follow me." Sakura walked next to him. "Do you have some business with the Queen?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, she wants us to keep trouble maker away from the Party." Pein replied.

"The party?"

Pein nodded. "Everyone is invited if you bring a present with you." Sakura laughed. "Oh, it's her birthday!" Sakura's eyes sparkled but it soon faded as she looked at Pein's face.

"No, it's a celebration for her 100th kill."

Sakura paled. "I-i think, I won't go today." Pein smirked and didn't said anythng else.

'Will the Queen kill me?' Sakura thought. 'I mean, I'm looking for the rabbit not for her…I can't say that or I'll die!'

"Pein, can I ask you something?" Sakura muttered.

"You just did, but ask me anyway." Pein smiled. "Did an outsider ever stay here?" Sakura asked.

"It deppens on the situation. You weren't the first outsider that got here. They always went back to their world. I mean they can stay here but it never happened before." Pein explaine. "I don't even know why an outsider want to stay here..." Pein shrugged.

Sakura was quiet. 'Because I won't have any problems here. I see these danger as adventure not as a propblem.' Sakua thought.

"I see..." Pein closed his eyes.

"Huh?" Sakura stared at him. 'D-did he just heared my thought?'

Pein chuckled slightly. "I did the hole time!" Sakura blushed. 'How embarrassing! Oh god!'

Pein laughed. 'He has a nice laugh…' Sakura blushed as Pein smirked. "Oho, don't flatter me that much or you'll be in danger."

Sakura's blush darken. "I-i didn't mean to!" Pein chuckled. "Don't worry, I like you too!"

Sakura looked away. 'Geez…' Sakura sighed and felt something on her cheek. Pein kissed her cheek. "H-hey! What are you doing?!" Sakura blushed again. "Heh, sorry. I couldn't resist." Pein smirked.

"Stop it!" Sakura pushed him away.

"Calm down and stop being so cute!"

"I said stopt it!" They laughed together. After walking for a while, Pein brought her to the red path. "Be careful" Pein stroke her cheek.

"I will, thank you, Pein." Sakura smiled at him and walked away. Pein stared at her leaving form. "What do you want, Tobi?"

A guy came out of the bush. "Aw! You found Tobi!" Tobi sulked then started to giggle like a Girl. "Leader has a crush! Leader has a crush! Leader has a C.R.U.S.H! CRUSH~" Tobi sang and ran away with Pein running after him.

'Ah! There is the rabbit again!' Sakura followed the rabbit. "Thanks for everything, Pein! Please tell Konan that I'm sorry for not informing her that I left!" Sakura shouted. "I will! Good luck, Sakura!" Pein shouted back.
