Shadow of Fire
Chapter Four
I looked on nervously as Kisame gripped his Chakra sucking sword and Deidara hands began itching to make clay bombs. I shivered in slightly fear not because I thought I could beat them; it was because I know they would try to teach me a lesson as if I had to learn about the errors of my ways. Chakras began to flare, I ran out of Itachi's grip and Watched nervously as Kisame said
"You are a geisha!" I nodded a little and screamed in terror as he began throwing Kunai's at me. I looked at my dad who looked back at me and glared at me. I gulped, I guess I weren't going to get any help from him, I looked to Deidara who began preparing clay bombs, and he then looked at me and said
"Are you a virgin?" I cringed and shook my head, he stood up and said
"How many?" I Looked at him in shock and screamed
"I am no whore!" he looked even more furious
"HOW MANY SAKURA?" I cringed and said quietly
"I was raped you baka!" The whole room erupted in silence and I watched as they began o calm down a little except Itachi, who I am guessing knew already knew. He didn't say a word, he just said calmly
"Kisame put away your weapons, Deidara pack away your bombs!" they slowly did so and I sighed in relief until Kisame sneered and said nastily
"This is not over little sister!" I nodded in fear and looked at the Akatsuki first Lady and said calmly
"When did you join Akatsuki?" She looked at me with icy eyes and inner Sakura was screaming to come out
'How dare they replace me, I should kill her and reclaim my place'
Shut up, we are not Akatsuki anymore and she is not as powerful as us, she is a good opponent when she actually thinks but other than that she not worth much
'I guess your right. Do you think her and Itachi are fucking each other'
I groaned at what she said but it got me thinking, she was an attractive woman and around Itachi's age and he is a man who would have sexual needs. I sighed at the thought and looked from Itachi to Sasuke and then the Akatsuki Lady and watched her as she surveyed the shinobi in the room and said lightly
"Because my village kicked me out for practising forbidden genjutsu's!" I looked at her suspiciously and said looking at everyone in the room
"Well dinner is at 7, so see you later I got things to do!" I began walking out of the room when Itachi said emotionlessly
"Do you know where they are?" I looked back at him and said gently
"No, they said they will find us when they think I am ready!" I turned again when Sasuke said out of rage and jealousy
"Why when you're ready?" I looked back at him with a purely calm look and said smoothly
"Tsaunde and the Sensei's know the details but are forbidden to talk until I have been through a few tests!" I then said with utter coldness
"Next time you and I fight, I will not hold back one bit!" and with that I walked out the room in utter silence. I went to my room and closed my door quietly and went through my weapons cabinet and began finding weapons that were suitable for the mission. I sighed and looked around my room for my geisha outfit that Mikito designed for me when I became of age. I was now a qualified Geisha and known throughout Land of Fire and I used this alias to get information. I sighed and smiled when I looked at the kimono. It was a nice black silk with detailed flowers that were green and pink with golden patterns to make the kimono look even more exquisite. It swept the floor and hand a gold Sais. I smiled fondly at the clothing and placed it gently on my bed and began to strip of my clothes and stepped into my shower and relaxed as the vanilla essence bathed my ski and the water washed away all the stress of the day. I never thought I would see Itachi again and the fact the he looked more handsome then ever gave me butterflies all over. He still had the same mesmerising eyes with were midnight blue and held so much mystery behind them. Everything about him screamed sex appeal and forbidden but the fact that he hurt me and in the past although he trainer me, still thought of me as weak reminded me that I could not to the same with him right now. I stepped out of the shower and slowly began to ready my self for dinner and my mission. I slowly dressed in my Geisha outfit and made sure I looked perfect, I slowly walked out the room with my clogs on began to descend down the stairs. I slowly walked into the room with trained grace the Mikito-san taught me. Her lessons were hard but they always worked for the best
Flash back
"Back straight! Shoulders back!" I quickly did as she had request fearing harsh treatment of her cane, no questions asked. I was excited but fearful as well. Mikito-san was teaching me the ways of a Geisha so my missions would be flawless and to help achieve my goal to be the best Konochi in the land of fire. I quickly did as she told me to and said bowing lightly
"Is this to your liking big sister?" she smirked and said softly
"Perfect!"
End of Flash back
I walked into the Living Room quietly and went to Anko. For missions like the one I had been assigned to Anko would normally install a few poisons that I cold use just encase I ended up in trouble and needed a quick escaped. She supplied me with solider pills and a few smoke bombed which were mixed with sleeping powder. Kurenai and Genma who were right at the back of the room talking quietly, they quickly noticed me and sat me down on a stool and began to work. I sat still not moving an inch and let Anko fix my hair whilst Kurenai did my make-up. It was weird for Anko to be a type of person to do hair she prided herself in keeping her boyish and slightly sadistic characteristics. I looked around the room with my eyes to see most of the Shinobi crowding around me trying to see what was going on. Sasuke stood with his back against the wall with a frown and a slight look of disgust whilst Neji dragged Hinata to the back of the room and said a few words to her. I looked at the scene uninterestedly and was so tempted top let out how I really feel. Hinata had replaced Ino, although Ino was barely there to be replaced. We were not friends and the only reason she wanted to become friends with me is because she saw me walk in and out of the Uchiha household when we were younger. I placed my hands into the sleeves of my kimono and sat still like a statue when I heard a girlish yet a somewhat mannish scream erupt from behind me
"What are you doin, yeah?" He pushed Anko and Kurenai out the way and said
"It's all wrong yea!" I giggled at his childishness and watched as he began concentrating on my face; gently patting the powder and then using mascara and eyeliner to bring out my eyes
"This is perfect yea, the best piece of art work ever, yea!" I giggled a little and said faking a hurt tone
"Dei-kun, I'm just art work, I thought I was your best friend!" he laughed and said filling my nails to everyone astonishment
"You are my best friend and now I get to make you into a work of art yea!" I laughed and looked at the male shinobi who looked at Deidara in astonishment; Naruto's jaw practically hit the floor
"Your are a man aren't you!" I cringed as he said that. Deidara hated it when people did that, but surprisingly he said nothing and continued his work and got to my hair and quickly did it in a neat bun leaving a few strands in my face. I smiled in thanks and waited for Genma to start applying my weapons when Itachi stopped him. I looked up in shock and was about to say something when Deidara began talking
"Saku-chan I put two hair pins in your bun, when you pull it out and through it they become smoke bombs!" I nodded in thanks still starring at Itachi who looked me over and said emotionlessly
"Stand up!" I slowly did so without argument and waited for what he was about to do. He slowly took out a chain that I recognised immediately, I gazed at it and tensed when he slowly placed it around my neck. I stroked the necklace and said
"Protection!" He nodded, I smiled and bowed in thanks and looked at Genma who gently attached blades under my clogs and gave me a small matching umbrella and smirked saying
"Senbon are attached all over the umbrella, when you pump chakra into the umbrella it becomes a small sword, poisonous if it cuts the enemy!" I nodded and thanks and slowly stood and walked to the centre of the room and stood still and waited quietly. I was getting odd glances and Ino said a little curiously
"What are you doing Fore-head girl?" I ignored her and said coldly
"Anbu-first Captain!" she looked at me a little shocked and kept quietly. I immediately bowed as I felt the Hokage's chakra. She stood in front of me, looking down on me slightly and said calmly
"Rise!" I slowly did so and tucked my hands into the hem of the kimono and looked at the two people who accompanied her. Both were Geisha who stood a perfect pose, I looked at them studiously and then back at the Hokage and said
"And they are?" she smirked and said stepping aside
"The Geisha who are accompanying you!" I looked at them and they bowed in honour saying
"It is an honour to serve with a Geisha as prominent as yourself, Sakura-san!" I looked at them blankly and said not letting them rise
"What are your names?" They slowly answer, the girl with Blonde hair answer first. She was slender and had a soft complexion that was a little mesmerizing, her bust was fair and her eyes were a baby blue texture that could be compared to water
"My name is Kaito!" I smiled at her name and moved to the next girl who had black hair and hazel eyes. She was a small girl with a huge bust and strong features but could be as delicate as flower,
"My name is Akiko!" I smirked and said standing in front of them once again
"You may rise!" They slowly rose showing they had been properly trained; I studied them a little more and said looking away from them and at the Hokage
"They are fine, what do you require form me for this mission?" Tsaunde sighed and said looking to the ceiling
"I want a quick kill, not too much mess and make sure no one finds out your alias!" I nodded and looked towards all the other shinobi in the room and looked at my father and slowly walked over to him and whispered into his ear
"Make sure Sasuke and Neji stay away from the third floor, you Naruto and Hinata and the Sensei's are allowed up their and when I get back I'll decide about Akatsuki, just make sure the rest stay out!" Kakashi silently nodded and said quietly
"Be careful!" I nodded and began walking back to the said Geisha who bowed at my return, I walked past them and said
"Let us go, we have a long night a head of us!"
"Hai!"
